The Legend of the Sacred Sword Cultivator
41 Ch: TCM XV

Unlike Yang Jian, in his room Chang An had just finished checking out Yang Jian's gift giving. He was not inexhaustibly amazed to see one by one the contents of the wooden box.

"I thought from the beginning. He's not a random kid." Chang An muttered slowly. But there was not the slightest bit of happiness that seemed from the look on Chang An's face.

He seemed to feel that something was different from Yang Jian's attitude, from his words as well as his attitude. As if he was showing farewell. "No, that's not possible." Chang An shook his head to brush off his bad thoughts.

"What's this?" Chang An grabbed a flat object in one of Yang Jian's gift-giving.

The shape is like an identifier but plain without any carving. Chang An flipped through the object to find out its usefulness, but Chang An did not find the slightest discrepancy.

Not wanting to get dizzy, Chang An kept the object back and decided to ask Yang Jian directly.

This morning the sun greeted the Cloud Dragon Sect with a warm glow. The song of a melodious bird seemed to welcome everyone who woke up from his sleep to return to activity.

Everyone in the Cloud Dragon Sect seemed busy with their respective activities to prepare themselves for tomorrow. The day that would be in was notya the return of the Young Cultivator Tournament, a tournament that had been delayed two days earlier.

The envoy from the Qin Empire had also reached the gate of the sect along with one of the tournament participants, Qin Lienhua. There were many people in droves to welcome the arrival of the number one person in the Qin empire and there were also those who just wanted to see the beauty of Qin Lienhua's daughter who already looked despite her very young age.

Qin Lienhua deliberately took his head out of the window of the horse carriage to look at the people standing along the road, but did not find the person he was looking for.

Empress Tang and Emperor Qin who were sitting next to Qin's daughter Lienhua already knew who she wanted to see. And that person was also the reason for them to come so early.

"Do you know where the lodging representative of the Jade Sect is?" Qin Lienhua's daughter asked as she held a small box in her lap. The box is golden with gold lotus flower carvings as well.

"Dad found out, after this we'll tell them to meet us." Reply emperor Qin. Emperor Qin did not want to lower his pride to come alone to meet Yang Jian. That was because he had one of his confidants tell Yang Jian to come to see him.

On one side, Yang Jian had already woken up earlier than the others. He seemed to be in a room that was bigger and nicer than the one he was in. In front of Yang Jian there was also one man who was sitting leisurely while sipping his drink.

"So...Is that all you want to say? Or do you want me to meet them too, to make a happy family drama?" Said the man while crossing his legs. He was Elder Shing.

"I'm really amazed at you, Your Highness Elder Shing." Said Yang Jian while suppressing his 'Her Majesty' word.

Yang Jian's words made Elder Shing's smile fade slightly, yet he again laughed with his trademark laugh. Laughter filled with deceit and greed.

"From the beginning it was all mine, so I just took what was supposed to be mine."

"No matter what your real purpose is. But, if you do not keep your promise. I'll make sure you regret it and I'll chase you to the end of the world." Instantly Yang Jian's blue eyes glowed golden in the follow by oozing Yang Jian's guanghuan aura which made Elder Shing slightly goosebumps and shortness of breath.

Elder Shing could not hide his shock from Yang Jian but he acted as if he did not feel anything and laughed again."It still took me hundreds of years to get me affected..."

"Elder.." Elder Shing's speech came to a halt due to the arrival of the female elder who had been with him since yesterday. Yang Jian turned his gaze towards the uninvited guest, scrutinizing him from the tip of his foot to the tip of his hair. Feng Yu said that the woman was also one of the elders in the jade sect, but Yang Jian had never met the elder.

"Are you guys done? The teacher's looking for the boy, lest he see you together." The female elder snorted Elder Shing and Yang Jian alternately. Elder Shing who understood the direction the female elder spoke nodded slowly.

Then Elder Shing gave the code to Yang jian through the look in his eyes, as if understanding what Elder Shing meant, finally Yang Jian stepped his feet out of the room. But before actually coming out of the room Yang Jian turned his head back to Elder Shing and looked into his sharp eyes.

"I'll watch you!" after saying that, Yang Jian left without looking back again.

The female elder looked at Elder Shing after Yang Jian's departure, she frowned confusedly seeing Elder Shing's response.

Elder Shing looked no offense at Yang Jian's words instead he smiled. This made the female elder wonder, because Elder Shing was a very irritable person and always made things difficult for people he did not like.

"What are you talking about?" Finally the woman opened her voice, she was eager to ask what made Elder Shing let Yang Jian leave just like that.

"So your limits!" Only that word came out from Elder Shing's mouth, but it succeeded in making the female elder bow while linking her hands behind her back.

"He's a unique kid." Elder Shing displayed his demonic smile while leaning his back behind the chair with his eyes tightly closed.

"Where has Jian'er been?" after returning from the residence of Elder Shing, Yang Jian was startled by the arrival of elder Chang An who confronted him halfway.

"Finding the wind of the teacher." Yang Jian had indeed predicted this matter beforehand so he prepared a proper answer. " Does the teacher need anything?"

"Oh no, no one wants to see you. Come on!" Chang An withdrew Yang Jian's hand to immediately follow his footsteps. The flustered Yang Jian simply kept silent and followed Chang An while holding his hand.
