Veteran

“He’s not blind. He probably just has bad eyesight.”

Feng Xia replied to Zhu Youniang, feeling a little dumbstruck.

In fact, there was a common term for this in his pre-transmigration world.

Myopia!

Feng Xia did not know the real situation with Bai Canghai’s master and guessed that it could also be presbyopia…

However, he really did not expect to encounter a short-sighted person in this alternate world where divine beings existed. This could definitely be considered a wondrous occurence in the transmigration world.

“But if you think about it carefully, since there are also deaths and injuries in the world of divine beings, it’s naturally possible for myopia to exist.”

Feng Xia pondered to himself.

At the same time, he carefully sized up this imposing middle-aged man.

Lei Shao was Bai Canghai’s teacher and master. At the same time, he was also the First Elder of the Thousand Autumn Valley. His strength… Well, he had both strong and weak points.

Feng Xia wanted to be clear that this was not a standardized assessment, but a concise description of the status quo.

In Feng Xia’s perception, the black-robed Lei Shao’s aura was sometimes strong and sometimes weak. When Lei Shao was at his strongest, Feng Xia would even feel a great sense of fear. However, when Lei Shao was at his weakest, it felt as if he could not even defeat a goose in a fight!

“It’s strange, really strange… Is this the Ripple Technique? Or is it the Brown Athletic Technique? The random changes in strength are so unpredictable?”

Feng Xia’s mind raced through the possibilities.

On the surface, Feng Xia maintained a faint smile and stood calmly to the side, observing everything in the Thousand Autumn Valley.

He particularly wanted to observe Ling Jieyu.

It was not that Feng Xia wanted to leer at this Junior Sister Ling. It was just that this most favored little girl in the Thousand Autumn Valley kept giving him an indescribable feeling of abnormality.

“Can it be that that demoness, Yan Wuyou, rushed back to Star Sand City before us and pretended to be Ling Jieyu again?”

It took Feng Xia less than the time to take one breath to rule out this possibility.

It would not take a genius to figure out why not.

It was easy to impersonate someone for a short period of time, but it would be very difficult to do so over the long term.

Be it the person’s speech, actions, habits, memories, or other details, the imposter would be instantly exposed if there was a slip-up anywhere.

Especially in this world where divine beings existed?

“According to Bai Canghai, every Thousand Autumn Valley disciple has to go through multiple checks when returning to the sect base so as to prevent spies from other factions from sneaking in.”

“At the same time, every disciple’s identity token is custom made and infused with a drop of the holder’s blood essence. Other than the actual holder, no one can activate the identity token.”

Feng Xia recalled his own experience when he entered the Thousand Autumn Valley and could not help but shake his head and sighed. “I’m probably just too sensitive…”

Just as he was thinking about this, he heard Lei Shao shouting angrily.

“Glasses? I don’t need that thing!”

Bai Canghai’s master looked furious as he yelled, “I’ve long mastered the Sword-Heart Integration. My heart is my eye. Why would I need such a burdensome item?!”

Bai Canghai felt even more helpless. “But Master, you’ve already missed your target just now…”

“Missed? Hmph! That’s because I deliberately went easy on him. If you don’t believe me, I can do it again!”

“Master, stop! You’re hitting Sixth Elder now. Senior Feng isn’t there!”

“Lei Shao!! I’ll fight it out with you—”

For a moment, the whole place became quite chaotic.

The customs of the alternate world are really different from what I imagined…

Feng Xia’s lips twitched as he looked at the warm master-disciple relationship before him.

Finally, after a flurry of activities, Lei Shao finally came in front of Feng Xia.

His round eyes widened as he stared fixedly at Zhu Youniang. “Are you that whatever Senior Feng who urged my disciple to leave the Thousand Autumn Valley?”

Zhu poked Feng Xia in the waist. “Hey, he’s looking for you.”

Feng Xia could only say resignedly, “Fellow practitioner Lei, I’m indeed partly to blame.”

He could not deny it.

After all, there were so many people present and they had all seen him feeding Bai Canghai chicken soup for the soul. Unless he killed all of them, even if he could hide the fact for a while, it would be impossible to hide it forever.

Moreover, he was a good young man of the new century. How could he kill someone so casually?

Persuasion through reasoning was the right way to deal with people!

As for those who refused to listen to reason, he would beat them up a few times before slowly convincing them with reason again.

Feng Xia firmly believed that anyone could be persuaded as long as the reason was strong enough.

“I’m glad you admit it!”

Lei Shao immediately glared at Feng Xia and abandoned his sword. Sword energy spewed out from his palm as he raised his hand to grab Feng Xia’s shoulder. “Handle this thrust from my sword first!”

Feng Xia: “?”

You call this slap a sword thrust?

Your Thousand Autumn Valley’s Spring Autumn Sword Technique would feel so sad!

Rumble!

The sword energy swept across the sky, sounding like spring thunder, and also like the autumn wind whistling. It descended from the sky powerfully, as if it could crush a person on the spot!

“Master—” Bai Canghai could not help but shout out.

As it roared violently, two figures were tangled together like lightning streaks. Then, as the ground exploded, the two of them flew into the sky again and fell deep into Mount Canglan like two human-shaped meteorites.

“Oh no! Master has always been very straightforward. He would rather break than bend. This fight between him and Senior Feng is almost inevitable!”

Bai Canghai’s expression changed again and he chased after them immediately, thinking,

“Although Master is powerful, he’s no match for a Champion. If Senior Feng gets enraged, he might vent his anger on the Thousand Autumn Valley…”

However, a figure blocked his way at this moment.

“Master? Bai Canghai, how dare you still address the First Elder in this manner? On account that you were once the eldest disciple, you should take your uninvited guest and get out of Mount Canglan immediately!”

As this person walked out of the crowd and blocked the way with his sword, the disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley were in an uproar again. “That’s Sixth Elder’s legacy disciple, Ye Yi. He decided to step out at such a time?”

“Sixth Elder and First Elder have always been at odds. As Sixth Elder’s legacy disciple, Ye Yi has always disliked Brother Bai. This time, Brother Bai did not do his job well and also declared his intention to leave the sect. It’s unreasonable no matter how you look at it, so he naturally seized the opportunity…”

The other disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley did not know the exact details of the mission carried out by Bai Canghai and the group that he led.

They only knew that this mission was extremely important and was related to the future of the sect. However, not only did Bai Canghai fail after being gone for only a few days, but he even claimed that he wanted to leave the Thousand Autumn Valley after returning!

In the eyes of the other disciples, the series of actions taken by Bai Canghai were undoubtedly an attempt to escape punishment. He was being completely irresponsible!

“Ye Yi, you know that I don’t care when you usually cause trouble for me, but get out of my way now!”

Bai Canghai continued anxiously, “We have to stop Master and Senior Feng from fighting!”

However, Ye Yi only laughed and waved the sword in his hand. The sneer on his face became even more obvious. “Bai Canghai, do you think I will believe such a stupid reason?”

Instead of stepping aside, he activated his vital energy and assumed a combat stance.

“Ye Yi!” No matter how good his temper was, Bai Canghai was getting enraged.

“Oh right. After all, a swindler could even fool you into believing his identity. With your level of intelligence, it’s not surprising that you could only come up with such a lame excuse.”

“What are you talking about? What do you mean by swindler! Get out of my way!”

Bai Canghai changed his form several times and tried to bypass Ye Yi’s obstruction. However, Ye Yi moved in tandem with him and firmly blocked his path, not giving him any chance!

“Heh, are you flying into a rage out of embarrassment already? After all, the entire Thousand Autumn Valley already knows that Eldest Brother Bai Canghai did not do his job well and brought back a swindler in order to evade responsibility and escape the sect’s punishment…”

At this point, Ye Yi’s vital energy burst through. “However, I will let you know today that no matter whether you are the Eldest Brother or not, if you do something wrong… you must be punished!”

What swindler? What evasion of responsibility?

Bai Canghai vaguely sensed that something was wrong and his heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself,

“The swindler that Ye Yi mentioned… Could he be referring to Senior Feng? Damn, where did this rumor come from?”

No wonder he had felt that although everything seemed normal on the first day he returned to the sect, he could feel many inexplicable gazes on him when he went out on the second day.

He did not read too much into it then. Now that he thought about it, Feng Xia’s arrival was extremely low-key. It would be impossible for so many people to know about it, unless someone deliberately publicized the fact!

“Well…”

Just as the atmosphere became increasingly tense, a clear voice suddenly sounded. “You can fight all you want, but can you give me something to eat? Then I can eat while watching you fight.”

Ye Yi was completely unmoved. He let out a low snort of laughter. “Shut up… what?!”

In the next moment, his pupils constricted!

…

“Destroying my sect’s plan!”

“Influencing my disciple to betray his sect!”

“This hatred between us is irreconcilable!”

Boom boom boom boom boom—

The various ultimate techniques of the Thousand Autumn Valley were mostly focused on sword techniques listed in sword manuals. The Spring Autumn Sword Technique focused on quick changes in sword moves. It was a light and agile sword technique.

However, when Lei Shao used it, he was like a human-shaped excavator filled with endless violent power!

With a raise of his hand, rocks shattered one after another, and trees were felled and disintegrated into powder by the sharp sword energy!

The only problem was…

“Fellow practitioner Lei, how long do you plan to keep up this crazy bombing? No matter how strong you are, you can’t hurt me at all if you keep launching your attacks in the direction opposite me.”

Feng Xia sighed helplessly. “Can’t we just sit down and talk?”

“Rubbish! One of us must die today!”

Lei Shao swung his sword again, a sweeping movement which caused a violent explosion. The domineering move blew up a large amount of dust.

“Do you have any wine?”

Amidst the dust, Lei Shao suddenly sheathed his sword and walked over. He glanced at Feng Xia and said indifferently, “This battle has been intense enough. No one will come over for the time being. I think… we can have a good talk.”
