The Legend of the Sacred Sword Cultivator
Ch 49: Short Conversations

"Do you have a little free time?" Feng Yu who entered Yang Jian's room immediately questioned him with a serious look.

Yang Jian felt perplexed, since when were they this close? However Yang Jian did not refuse, he nodded his head slowly and allowed Yang Jian to sit on his bed after closing the bedroom door.

"I know you don't like me and I don't have a problem with that at all. But that doesn't mean you don't like Elder Chang An, does it?"

Yang Jian's question made Feng Yu feel a little uncomfortable, even though Yang Jian's guess was right on target but being asked directly by the person in question made him feel strange.

"I don't understand why you're saying that." replied Feng Yu

"Forget it, is there anything important you want to talk about? It's weird if you're visiting for no other reason." Yang Jian did not seem to want to make small talk.

"It's not really something that matters, it doesn't have to be that serious. It's just that I want to say something I want to tell you. Giving up does not mean losing, giving up does not mean a loser. It's just that we need to take a step back profit taking a swing to run."

"Beautiful and meaningful philosophy." praised Yang Jian sincerely "However I still haven't found your purpose and purpose in conveying this to me."

"You'll find out for yourself the meaning after taking a step back in preparation to run through the barrier." Feng Yu was still playing the word with Yang Jian not trying to explain directly the intent of his words, but Yang Jian also seemed unwilling to inquire further.

"If you were in my position, would you do the same? Or are you going to go against a lot of people and take your own path that you think is better for you and for everyone, too?"

Yang Jian's question was not immediately answered by Feng Yu, Feng Yu was seen opening his mouth to say something but not a single word came out of Feng Yu's mouth. He seemed a dilemma.

"Reverting back to run, or continuing to walk slowly until you gather the strength to run does not seem much different. It's just a matter of time. However, it's not that simple. Your initial decision determines the end result, so don't let you make a decision you'll regret at the end." Yang Jian's beautiful voice flowed quietly like a spring.

Feng Yu raised his gaze to look at Yang Jian, he was really amazed by this strange boy before him. How could a child like this be hated? Really, Feng Yu was like a fool judging someone from the words of others that were not necessarily the truth.

"Do you know that I know everything? I mean Elder Shing's plan." Feng Yu actually vaguely heard the talk of Elder Shing who was about to take Yang Jian out of the sect. It was just that he was not convinced yet and did not have enough evidence to justify his conjecture.

Yang Jian raised his eyebrows next door, he indeed felt the presence of someone that afternoon upon meeting Elder Shing, but Yang Jian did not bother thinking that maybe the person was the female elder who was always with Elder Shing.

"Do I have to answer your question? I don't think that's what you're talking to me about. You're just trying to get in a tight fit thinking about the right time before you talk, aren't you?" Yang Jian who had seen Feng Yu's uneasiness during his conversation felt that Feng Yu still had something important to say.

"Ah is nothing. It was late at night, I better get back to my room. Tomorrow the tournament reopens, better prepare." Feng Yu directly walked out of Yang Jian's room without waiting for his response.

Yang Jian continued to look at Feng Yu's departure until his body disappeared behind the door. Then Yang Jian let out a long sigh while resting his elbow on the table with his fingers twitching softly on Yang Jian's forehead.

"Ah, not the elder. I mean, what exactly is Yang Jian doing and where? I mean, why did he leave without saying goodbye to us first?"

Feng Yu stuttered slightly, yet as much as possible he neutralized his expression in order not to arouse suspicion.

"Is that what you're talking about? You didn't hide anything about Yang Jian right? Listen Yu'er, the elder needs the slightest information regarding Yang Jian. So please, please tell me whatever it is about him you know."

Chang An seemed to still not accept Feng Yu's reply, he spoke in a low and slightly hoarse voice. Seen that Chang An was holding back his emotions right now, the look of a face that was usually full of warmth was now cloudy, as cloudy as black clouds.

What departure did Yang Jian have to make elder Chang like this? What if Feng Yu were to leave, would Elder Chang also be grieving like this now? Feng Yu looked at Chang An's bead eyes which were also staring at him, then Feng Yu smiled hiding the questions that were spinning in his head.

"How could I possibly know Elder Chang. The elder naturally knew that I was not that close to Yang Jian. We don't seem to like each other either, so it's impossible for me to know anything."

Seemed as a breath of despair came out of Chang An's mouth, then Chang An sat down while bowing his head. Seeing that Feng Yu felt guilty, he squeezed his robe trying to go against his heart that wanted to be honest.

'I'm sorry Elder Chang.'

"Hey poor boy, what are you doing here? Go, quickly go! I don't have the money to share with a beggar like you."

A middle-aged woman looked at the two dirty and dull-clothed little boys, their hair seemed disheveled and their skin was slightly blackened by dirt and dust that had lasted a long time without being washed. The smell coming out of their bodies seemed unpleasant, making people immediately move away from their surroundings.

"Sorry madam, my sister is sick please give us the leftovers that madam has. I would do any job as long as the mistress would help my sister." one of the very thin looking boys tried to plead to the woman who seemed to be the owner of the food stall in front of them.

Beside the boy was another little boy who seemed to be a girl. The girl was much thinner than the boy next to her. His face was pale, and there was a lot of sweat drenching the child's temples.

"Are you deaf? I told you to go and go. Look, you're making my customers feel uncomfortable. Go before I throw you into my pet food." the woman snapped while pushing the two boys down.

"Stop!"
