Chapter 366 I’d Be Disappointed
Sovereign Zhou and Lurking Dragon greet each other simply, which is actually a hypocritical show of cordiality.
Then Sovereign Zhou walks towards Gao Ge directly.
“Mr. Gao, you are such an early bloomer!” The man says smilingly and looks at Gao Ge with intrigue.
Gao Ge frowns and feels that something is weird. Yet, he still greets with joined hands, “Sovereign Zhou, do you know me?”
“Yes, Swordlord Ming Wu of our sect was killed by you, wasn’t he?” Sovereign Zhou says casually.
Swordlord Ming Wu sounds familiar to Gao Ge. Then he comes to his senses and realizes that the man was the capable cultivator who made trouble for him and yet got killed by him and Xia Lu.
To Gao Ge’s confusion, Sovereign Zhou didn’t appear happy or sad when he talked about this man.
It seems that Swordlord Ming Wu’s death is none of Gao Ge’s business.
“But Mr. Gao, don’t worry. Although Ming Wu was my disciple, given his poor capability, he deserved to be killed. Right?” Sovereign Zhou says with a smile.
He looks like a nice and amiable old man.
However, Gao Ge truly thinks this way, he must be crazy.
A soft-hearted man can become the sovereign of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect?
Cut it out.
Is Xiaoshan Sword Sect the kindergarten of your community? And a kind man will be elected as the principal of the kindergarten?
“In the Xiaoshan Sword Sect, there are many swordlords. It is fine to lose one.” Sovereign Zhou continues saying, “It is capable of you to have killed Ming Wu. You have such talent at so young an age. I must say your future is extremely promising! You must be the treasure of the Dragon Court. Haha, now do you feel like a lamb to the slaughter?”
Gao Ge grins, “I am so flattered. I am not worth mentioning compared with the masters of Xiaoshan Sword Sect.”
He doesn’t like chatting with the sovereign of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect.
His random talking makes Gao Ge feel quite confused.
Gao Ge has a feeling that he has lived for more than 300 years.
God knows what such a man is thinking about on earth.
It is a torture to talk with such a man.
“Okay. You’ve suffered a lot after such a long trip. You may as well have a rest for now.” Sovereign Zhou turns around and waves his hand. A middle-aged man comes forward then. “Ming Xing, take them to the guest rooms for a rest.”
“Yes, Sovereign.” The middle-aged man looks at Gao Ge and the others, “Everyone, this way please.”
“Sovereign Zhou, excuse us then.”
Sovereign Zhou nods his head smilingly.
A group of people follow Ming Xing to walk forward.
The students of the Haicheng Cultivation Academy keep looking around.
They seem to be interested in everything here.
After all, Xiaoshan Sword Sect is a first-class cultivation school. The ancient buildings here are of primitive simplicity, among which they feel like being in an ancient city.
Even Gao Ge feels dazzled by the scene, let alone the students of Haicheng Cultivation Academy. There are so many things for their eyes to take in. Gao Ge doesn’t have much knowledge of ancient buildings. He used to buy a book on the history of Chinese architecture. It is a pity that he only looked through two pages and never went on. Luckily, Master Guanshan is with them so that he can introduce to them.
The Xiaoshan Sword Sect has set up some squares for martial art trainings. At each of the four corners of the squares, there is a pavilion with triangular eaves, grey-tile roof and glazed ridge, the edges of which are decorated with various patterns. The patterns include dragons, phoenixes, flowers, birds, fishes and grasses. The reasons behind the design remain unknown.
The guest rooms of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect are within the elegant yards.
The yards are equipped with some flowers like orchid and azalea. Gao Ge doesn’t have much knowledge of that.
After settling all down, Ming Xing looks at Gao Ge and says smilingly, “Mr. Gao, I hope to compete with you if possible.”
historical
“Sure.” Gao Ge says calmly.
“Oh?” Ming Xing is surprised to ask, “When?”
“When I am sure to defeat you.” Gao Ge says seriously.
Ming Xing falls into a trance for a while.
Yue Xincheng, Xia Lu and the others are gloating aside.
He deserves it!
How dare he talks with Gao Ge!
He is asking for umbrage himself!
Seeing Ming Xing leave, Gao Ge feels much better.
“The Xiaoshan Sword Sect is such a good place!” Yue Xincheng can’t help sighing.
Gao Ge says smilingly, “No hurry. When we take up this place, we will turn it into a mountain resort.”
Yue Xincheng says with a bitter smile, “Boss, we are in the Xiaoshan Sword Sect. Be careful of your words. Walls have ears!”
“So what?” Gao Ge sits down and pours himself a glass of water, saying, “We killed their man in the secret realm of snow terrain. Afterwards, you and Fire Dragon killed quite some of their people. The hatred has been bred. Besides, do you think there was no conflict between the Dragon Court and Xiaoshan Sword Sect before we joined the Dragon Court? Let me tell you. The conflict has existed for a long time! Haven’t they killed any one of the Dragon Court? If not, how could they dare to act recklessly in the secret realm of snow terrain?”
Hearing what Gao Ge said, Yue Xincheng is astonished and confused.
“Since so, why are we here?”
“Rest assured. Neither the Dragon Court nor the Xiaoshan Sword Sect comes to an open break in friendship with each other. For example, if you curse about the Xiaoshan Sword Sect and they hear it, they will pretend that they don’t.” Gao Ge says, “The Dragon Court cannot do anything against a first-class school within a short period of time. Likewise, the Xiaoshan Sword Sect doesn’t dare to turn hostile to the Dragon Court. They know that the Dragon Court chooses to put up with them for being unwilling to pay a big price or make too many troubles. Hence, they don’t want to make a fuss. Yet, if they go too far and do anything unbearable to the Dragon Court, which makes Dragon Court strike fatal moves at them, how can they bear the consequence?”
Gao Ge continues to say, “This time, the contest between the Dragon Court and Xiaoshan Sword Sect is kind of a conflict, which is aimed to let the students compete with each other. We both want to cut each other in the size.”
“Are the students of Haicheng Cultivation Academy capable enough to cut them in their size?” Yue Xincheng feels a bit confused.
“Rest assured. Now that the people of Xiaoshan Sword Sect have seen our students, the students they will send out won’t be exceedingly more capable than our students.”
Yue Xincheng says grinningly, “Since so, why are we worried?”
“Do you think that the students of the Haicheng Cultivation Academy are good at the martial arts skills now?” Gao Ge shakes his head.
Yue Xincheng feels so awkward that he has no idea how to respond.
“Forget it. Have some faith in the students of Haicheng Cultivation Academy. It is no point saying that now.” Xia Lu says.
Gao Ge doesn’t say anything.
Xia Lu changes her way of talking. Staring at Gao Ge, she asks, “You asked the students of the Haicheng Cultivation Academy to make their own decisions, right?”
Gao Ge nods his head.
“If, I mean, if your favorite student, He Youniang decided not to come and she got frightened, would you want to see that happen?”
Gao Ge is slightly surprised and suddenly takes a tumble.
“In that case, I’d be disappointed.” Gao Ge answers after deliberate consideration.
