Chapter 1193: Chapter 255: Nine Resonances of Heart, Stirring the Waves (Part 5)

Li Hao was surprised and nodded, “That’s nice. Before I catch a dragon sparrow, I’ll come here often.”

The lame old man heard this and his lips slightly curled into what seemed like a smile, though its meaning was unclear. His expression returned to calmness as he puffed on a big pipe, smoke cloaking his face and hiding his expression:

“Once they all leave, this place will be quiet, unlike now, so noisy.”

“Sometimes a bit of noise is nice.”

Li Hao said.

“You’re still young. I’m old now, and don’t like the clamor.”

The lame old man shook the wine gourd in his hand and asked, “Do you like wine?”

“I like drinking companions.”

“Haha…”

The lame old man rarely laughed and then threw the wine gourd to Li Hao, “Then it’s yours.”

Li Hao was surprised. In the past few days of their acquaintance, the old man had felt neither warm nor cold towards him, not someone easy to get close to.

However, he didn’t hesitate and took the wine gourd, shaking it, “Seems there’s not much left.”

“…”

The lame old man fell silent again.

A few days later.

Lin Qingyue opened her eyes. The insight in her heart made her gather her mind on that sword the moment she opened her eyes, raising her hand to slash out.

She used her finger as a sword, slashing a faint ripple in the void.

On the great sword, Cui Yuesheng’s gaze swept over, eyes narrowing. Not only did the sword mark indicate that the girl had mastered the opening move of Ten Thousand Mountains, it also seemed to contain a hint of chaotic and void sword intent.

Though extremely subtle, having wielded a sword for many years, he shouldn’t be mistaken.

Could it be… His eyes flashed with unexpected delight.

Though they lost that nine-sounding monster, this girl might compensate somewhat.

“Not bad, you are qualified.”

A woman flew over, showing Lin Qingyue a melting smile on her ice-cold face.

Lin Qingyue regained her senses and relaxed internally, quickly turning to look around.

At this time, Li Hao, who was fishing on the small hillside, had already reeled in his line and rushed over as she woke up.

“Haotian.”

Lin Qingyue showed joy in her eyes.

Cui Yuesheng saw the intimacy between the two, and his heart skipped a beat.

Li Hao smiled and asked, “Do you want to apprentice at Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower, or come with me?”

“I’ll go with you.”

Lin Qingyue was stunned but spoke without hesitation.

Cui Yuesheng’s face darkened immediately. He coughed lightly and spoke solemnly to Li Hao, “Young man, you apprenticed at Great Dream Nine Abysses. Although I don’t know why, you must have heard some news these days. My Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower’s resources for nurturing disciples are far beyond those of Great Dream Nine Abysses!”

Li Hao heard that but remained noncommittal, which was why he asked Lin Qingyue.

“Do you have another sect?” Lin Qingyue asked then.

Li Hao nodded, then said, “But as he said, if you apprentice here to cultivate, it might be better for you.”

If she followed him to Great Dream Nine Abysses, he could look after her, but at most pass down supreme immortal techniques, with little else to offer Lin Qingyue.

Lin Qingyue understood and shook her head, saying, “Wherever you go, I’ll go.”

Upon hearing this, Cui Yuesheng’s expression changed slightly. He realized their relationship and softly said:

“Little girl, the sect he apprenticed to is one of the Heavenly Four Sects. My Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower is the Heavenly Sect, vastly different. Since you seem destined, if you apprentice here, I can apply for a sword seal for you to directly cultivate at Emperor Sword Mountain!”

“Cultivation years are long; rather than following someone else’s footsteps, why not catch up with them, don’t you agree?”

Listening to his gentle persuasion, Lin Qingyue felt slightly moved.

But she didn’t change her mind and looked at Li Hao, asking, “What do you think?”

Li Hao thought for a moment, seeing that Cui Yuesheng seemed quite concerned about Lin Qingyue, and replied, “Considering for yourself, going to Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower is more suitable.”

“Then what about for you?”

Lin Qingyue suddenly asked.

Li Hao was startled and, seeing her earnest gaze, fell silent briefly before saying, “Come to Great Dream Nine Abysses.”

Upon receiving his answer, Lin Qingyue’s face slowly brightened with a smile that extended from her lips across her entire face until it became radiant.

She whispered softly, “Then I’ll go to Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower. With your talent, going to Great Dream Nine Abysses, you will surely reach the peak. I’ll go to Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower, and if I comprehend any ultimate skills, I’ll secretly pass them on to you.”

She spoke gently, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Li Hao remained silent, not daring to respond.

“Little girl…”

Cui Yuesheng saw the two exchanging looks and feared the girl might act impulsively, wanting to persuade her.

Lin Qingyue turned to say, “I’ll join Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower.”

Cui Yuesheng was momentarily stunned, then breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “Good, Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower will surely nurture you well!”

Li Hao saw her make a choice, nodding slightly, and said after looking at her, “Take care.”

As he spoke, he took one of the three willow leaves left by Elder Wang and handed it to her.

Lin Qingyue looked at the willow leaf in confusion, sensing it was some kind of divine treasure.

“It can save your life in danger.” Li Hao whispered.

Cui Yuesheng saw the willow leaf and his gaze deepened, sensing its strong aura, looking at this young man, his eyes grew serious, with such a treasure this youth must have an extraordinary background.

However, with his Dao Heart resonating nine times, perhaps he truly comes from an Emperor Clan.

Li Hao bid farewell to Lin Qingyue, and the old man with the bulbous nose found Li Hao, afraid Cui Yuesheng might lure Li Hao away, wanting to take him back to the sect urgently.

Li Hao didn’t linger any longer, visited Elder Feng from one of the Heavenly Four Sects, who hadn’t yet left, and handed him the second willow leaf.

Then, Li Hao found the lame old man on the small slope and bid him farewell.

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

The old man with the bulbous nose urged, unwilling to stay, fearing that the two monster disciples he had just taken in would be poached by other forces.

Although he wished to see if there were any other monsters, getting Li Hao and Yue Xi made him extremely satisfied.

Lin Yufeng followed behind Li Hao, although both apprenticed at Great Dream Nine Abysses and now were disciples of the Heavenly Sect, he maintained the respect of an Immortal Guard.

Yue Xi looked at Li Hao. His Dao Heart surpassed hers, implying his Dao Thoughts were stronger, goals more ambitious, and asked while leaving with the bulbous-nosed elder:

“What realm are you in? Is there a chance to spar in the Sword Dao?”

Li Hao seemed lost, still contemplating Lin Qingyue and Feng and others, upon hearing the woman’s voice beside him he returned to himself, shook his head:

“Nothing worth sparring.”

“Hmm?”

Yue Xi showed a glimmer in her eyes, “Are you looking down on me?”

Li Hao saw a hint of defiance and coldness in her eyes, stunned for a moment and somewhat speechless, shook his head:

“Just find it somewhat tedious and boring. If you want to practice sword, others in the sect should suffice to accompany you.”

“Tedious and boring?”

Yue Xi found Li Hao’s words incredible.

A Sword Cultivator saying Sword Dao sparring is tedious and boring?

It should be known, most Sword Cultivators and Sword Practitioners are passionate about sparring, as it speeds up improvement significantly, even meeting a well-matched opponent, they would toast with drinks, it’s a joyful thing.

The bulbous-nosed elder sitting atop the wine gourd in front heard this, couldn’t help but look back suspiciously at Li Hao, having never verified Li Hao’s Sword Dao aptitude before, why did his words suddenly feel somewhat unreliable?
