The Legend of the Sacred Sword Cultivator
37: TCM XII

"Maybe it is now but later?" Elder Shing raised both of his hands in unison shrugging his shoulders.

"My spies saw the boy's training several times at the Chang An residence, huftttt.I didn't believe it at first but after I made sure of myself... In the future this kid could be my biggest obstacle."

The female elder frowned, clearly she did not fully understand Elder Shing's words. "I still don't understand, which part you need to worry about from that kid. What's-her-name? Which..."

"Yang Jian's. He has great potential. If he is allowed to develop ten, twenty more years I am sure he will be in the spotlight of the great sect. In the end he would have his own name and automatically Chang An would also get his influence."

"Oh I'm starting to understand what you mean, you don't want Chang An to have such great support that it has the potential to shift your position right?"

Guess the old lady. But the look on Elder Shing's face reddened hearing her, he looked at the female elder sharply.

"Look, it's not that hard for me to wipe your existence off the face of this earth. Even if you're my loyal partner, it doesn't mean you're free to use your mouth carelessly!" The threat of elder Shing suddenly made the female elder lowered her head in fear, her tongue felt faint even to apologize though.

This morning the Qin imperial palace had an important guest coming back, they were Elder Lin, Elder Qin and some of his other elders from the red tiger sect. Their arrival was none other than to visit the crown princess of the Qin Empire, Princess Qin Lienhua and to resolve their pending internal matters.

Emperor Qin along with the royal advisor and Elder Tang welcomed the Red Tiger Sect elder, the, they all decided to gather in the palace garden which contained rows of luxurious chairs and tables that had been equipped with food and drinks and some fresh fruits.

They sat in a circular position, with a round table in front of them.

"Before we have seen and heard for ourselves the healing of the princess, we congratulate her on her recovery." Elder Lin smiled respectfully at Emperor Qin while taking out one wooden box of medium size and placing it on the table.

"Maybe this is nothing to either His Majesty or princess Qin Lienhua, but we hope His Majesty is willing to accept a little gift from the servant as a congratulation." Elder Lin continued, he couldn't possibly say that the gift was a gift of their apology.

It was tantamount to demeaning the emperor and his troubles could already be assured of a bad ending.

Emperor Qin was still silent as he watched the wooden box, he then looked at the royal adviser to give him the code.

The royal adviser swiftly grabbed the wooden box and examined it. Then he looked back at emperor Qin while nodding slowly.

"Your highness, what about the servant's daughter?" Elder Qin carefully asked about the matter of their arrival.

"Is there something wrong with your daughter?" Emperor Qin replied without kicking Elder Qin, as if he did not see any Elder Qin in their midst.

Hearing that Elder Tang clenched his hands hard under the table. But she cleverly tried to neutralize his expression and re-imposed her fake smile.

"As Elder Lin explained earlier, perhaps the noble one did not listen to the entire story. But for sure, my daughter never poisoned the crown princess. His majesty had also seen for herself that the crown princess had already healed in just a matter of hours while the poison that Miss Bai had previously detected had yet to obtain an antidote. That clearly proves that my daughter is innocent."

"Oh that problem. I've forgotten it." Emperor Qin seemed to close his eyes casually enjoying the morning accompanied by the singing of birds in the trees of the palace garden.

Elder Qin looked surprised, clearly he never expected that Emperor Qin would easily forget about the matter.

"Doesn't the family have to understand each other?" Emperor Qin looked at Elder Tang with a faint smile. "Oh, ha ha ha.yes, my fellow family must understand each other." qtua Qin laughed awkwardly followed by laughter as well by the others.

'Jerkk.!" As for Elder Qin in his heart, he clearly understood the family intent said by Emperor Qin which was only known by the two of them and the royal advisor.

The training room was more like an empty hall but with a smaller size, the surroundings of the room were equipped with protective formations so as not to harm people outside the room.

There were only a few perks such as swords, arrows, spears, small blades, sticks and a few other weapons of various types and sizes. However, only ordinary and warior-stage weapons are allowed.

"Greetings to the elder." Yang Jian who chose to go to the training room gave a respectful greeting as he arrived. There were a few other Cultivators in the room. Perhaps because of this all of a sudden so the party from the cloud dragon sect had not had time to provide one special training room for each sect representative.

"Is your business done?" Elder Han Li asked with a funny smile. Perhaps he had not accepted with the word 'match' that Yang Jian used. Yet Yang Jian did not see the trace of Han Li's question, he only returned to answer respectfully.

Even though Yang Jian had a hard time communicating with anyone other than Xiao Ming, Chang An and recently with the dragon. But he did not forget his manners towards those he should and deserved to respect.

After which Yang Jian ignored everyone, he retrieved one of the ordinary plain swords from the special rack of sword storage. The sword was roughly 90 cm long, a length that was quite ideal for Yang Jian as his height exceeded that of a child his age.

Yang Jian started to put up the cue, he was intending to demonstrate the 'dragon sword dance' style he had learned in one of Xiao Ming's gifting books.

Every science or skill in the book has a different level. Starting from the low level, the middle level, and the high level. But there is one more level that is rare and difficult to find is the level of legend. Only certain people have this knowledge.

The science of 'dance dragon sword' itself was an intermediate level science, Yang Jian was not without reason to study the science. This is because the science is very suitable to be used to attack opponents even though the level is still medium.

During this time Chang An focused more on Yang Jian against self-defense, and only taught a few attacking techniques.

Yang Jian could not carelessly bring out the high-level sciences of Xiao Ming's teachings. Moreover, the science of Xiao Ming teachings is a rare science that can be hunted by many people.

Yang Jian had thought that the science is a science of legend because considering Yang Jian's body almost exploded due to too forced themselves to study the science.

Another reason Yang Jian studied middle-level science was naturally so as not to attract the attention of many people that would cause him great trouble.
