Chapter 8: Chapter Eight~ Rising Status(3)
" Don't worry, I think I can help you."
Taking out a piece of paper, Wei Jian jots down a list of ingredients. Handing it off to Ren Xiaoli. On the list were several ingredients consisting of pig shite, thorned crab egg sack, wings of flying Synder, eyes of a Manx cat, etc. Ren Xiaoli examines the list, stunned at the amount and the quality of ingredients needed.
" If you want to live, find all of those ingredients on the list in two weeks.", taking out of his spatial storage ring, " Catch! Use that to get some of them."
Wei Jian tossed over to Rn Xiaoli, one jade plaque. Not wasting any time, she stood up and gave Wei Jian a respectful bow, before leaving to gather the ingredients. Calling in the next customer, he was stunned that another beauty would visit him. The person was Hou Rongxi, she had disguised herself among the outer disciples, but under Wei Jian's higher perceptions. He found out her true self in one gaze.
Hou Rongxi had no injury whatsoever, she was just intrigued by the rumors. Another thing about Wei Jian is that most outer disciples know what that, Wei Jian was exceptionally handsome, his feminine face added to his muscular toned body. With the rumors reaching the inner and passing into the core houses, many female disciples were intrigued. They wanted to know are the rumors true, a heart throbbing and pill-making in one.
The first to take action was of course the vixen Hou Rongxi, known to sleep around and dump those that she is fed up with. She was the third most yearned for in the sect. For her to personally seek out Wei Jian, to her, it was an honor that Wei Jian that he gained her attention.
Hou Rongxi rips off the disguise talisman, walking towards Wei Jian seductively. But to her surprise, Wei Jian grabs her wrist, holding it with a tight grip. His cold glare sent chills down her spine.
" So this was your attention. Do not waste my precious time, get lost." Wei Jian coldly stated.
Of course, Wei Jian found her beautiful, but she had come in at the wrong time. He was not in the right mindset and mood to play around. At the moment all he wanted to do was gain a greater favor in the eyes of the disciples. And being an easy target to them was definitely not one of his plans.
Wei Jian's actions shocked Hou Rongxi, in her entire life she had never been turned down. With the audacity of Wei Jian, she came to personally give him a chance with her. And he dares to refuse in such a rude manner. Hou Rongxi wanted to end Wei Jian right there so that she could relieve herself of shame.
But because of the rules of the sect, she reluctantly backs down and walked out. Surprising the outer disciples and Guo Xiaoqing who were waiting outside. Guo Xiaoqing notices that Hou Rongxi's always gleeful face now contained murderous intent. She has never seen her senior like that before.
Wei Jian walked out and apologized to everyone who waited in line. For the moon was covering them in his shadow. The outer disciples left, with the intent to come back again. But Guo Xiaoqing refused to leave and greeted Wei Jian.
" Um… Can we talk for a bit, inside would do?"
" Oh! It's you, of course, come in."
Wei Jian and Guo Xiaoqing went inside the house. In the kitchen, Wei Jian brews up Tieluohan tea, the aroma relieves Gou Xiaoqing's nervousness. Before sitting down, Wei Jian pours a cup for Guo Xiaoqing.
" So, what is it that you wanted to converse with me?"
" I wanted to know your secret. How did you get so attuned and become one with your blade? For five years I tried and the results never showed success." Guo Xiaoqing replied somberly.
Wei Jian of course knew why she came to him. But he did not know she would be so blunt and honest about it. He too was stomped because it was hard for him to answer her questions. Because it was not him who became attuned but was Long Wei who had passed it down to him. From the memories of Long Wei that he had seen, Long Wei's life was the blade and alchemy.
Occasionally break off from that so that he could release his pent-up Xirong qi. But not wanting to disappoint Guo Xiaoqing he remembered the words of his adoptive father.
" Do not swing it as just a killing object. Swing it like a part of yourself. Like reaching your hand and grabbing a falling leaf, thrust forward your sword like that and it will always land."
Finally, with the words from Wei Jian, something clicked in Guo Xiaoqing's brain. Her eyes light up, washing away the gloominess. She stood up and rushed up the door, before exiting. She turns around.
"Thank you, Wei Jian, I will not forget this." Guo Xiaoqing said with a smile.
