《World Of Swords》232 : Master
Advertisement
Both Liang Xiaoling's and Lin Xue's expressions suddenly changed after hearing Xu Yue's words.
"That's somewhat unexpected, congratulations senior sister," said Lin Xue as she looked at Xu Yue with a somewhat weird expression on her face.
"Yea, congratulations," said Liang Xiaoling as some thoughts swirled in her mind.
"It's really nothing much," said Xu Yue as she shook her head, causing the other two to let out a slight chuckle.
"Senior sister, this is a matter that requires congratulations, after all, you know very well how difficult it is for you to have a child," said Lin Xue as she took another sip of her tea.
"Truthfully, I didn't expect you to be able to have a child, not before you ascended at least," said Liang Xiaoling, causing Xu Yue to fall into thought for a few moments.
'Ascended huh,' thought Xu Yue as she looked at her senior and junior sisters.
'Although I'm not sure about senior sister, based on what I'm seeing now, Lin Xue should be able to become a False Immortal,' thought Xu Yue before breaking out of her thoughts.
Hearing Liang Xiaoling's words Lin Xue couldn't help but nod.
"Yes, that was very unexpected," said Lin Xue as she placed down her cup of tea on the table in front of her.
"I thought that you would have learned to not underestimate my capabilities by now," said Xu Yue as she let out a chuckle, causing Lin Xue and Liang Xiaoling to follow suit.
As the three fellow disciples continued talking, time began passing rapidly, though this trance was suddenly interrupted after two years, when Lin Xue suddenly stopped talking and stared outside of the cave abode for a moment.
Seeing who the person outside of the cave abode actually was, Lin Xue slightly smiled.

"Senior sister, you should be the one most suitable to lead our master in," said Lin Xue, causing Liang Xiaoling's expression to slightly change as surprise appeared on her face.
"Thank you for alerting me junior sister," said Liang Xiaoling as she suddenly sat up and walked towards the entrance to the cave abode.
As Liang Xiaoling was doing so, Lin Xue waved her hand, causing the table the three were formerly sitting at to suddenly increase in size, as a fourth chair suddenly appeared.
A few moments after that, two figures suddenly entered the room.
"I didn't disturb you? Did I?" asked Feng Shuchun as she looked at her two disciples with a rather conflicted look on her face.
"Not in the slightest," said Xu Yue.
"Master, you should have come here earlier, you've missed out on a lot of discussions," said Lin Xue as she looked at Feng Shuchun with a small smile on her face.
Unlike Liang Xiaoling and Ling Xue, who already had someone to rely on in the sect, back when she joined the Origin Sword Sect thanks to her grandfather's betrayal of Xia Qiu, Lin Xue truly was alone.
As such, back then Lin Xue fully relied on Feng Shuchun, creating a debt of gratitude that was even greater than that of a disciple and a master.
Hearing Lin Xue's words, Feng Shuchun couldn't help but shake her head.
"How dare I but into the conversations of young people like you," said Feng Shuchun as she sat down on the fourth chair.
Although Feng Shuchun said that she didn't dare but into the conversations of young people, but that quickly turned out to be a bit of a lie.
Not long after Feng Shuchun sat down, the talking once again began, as the four cultivators now began sharing stories with each other.

Rather unsurprisingly, the one with the most interesting stories was Feng Shuchun, the person who had lived the longest.
But what was more surprising was the fact that Xu Yue did not have many good stories, as compared to her fellow sisters, much more of her time had been spent in seclusion.
If not for her higher cultivation and higher strength, which allowed her to see more interesting things, Xu Yue probably would have not had anything to say.
Under the weight of the countess stories, time quickly moved along, as the four of them shared things that had happened throughout the tens of thousands of years of their lives.
...
Five years later,
Staring at the teacup in front of her, Xu Yue's mind couldn't help but wander off, as she remembered a certain someone.
At this moment, Xu Yue suddenly raised her eyes, staring into the distance as she let out a sigh, causing the others to suddenly turn their attention to her.
"Senior sister, did something happen?" asked Lin Xue as a rather surprised look appeared on her face.
"It's nothing, I felt like I wanted to eat something, so I remembered a certain chef from the past, it seems as though even with the opportunity I gave him, he still did not escape his fate," said Xu Yue as she shook her head, causing curious expressions to appear on the faces of the other three.
"His name was Fang Shi, a long time ago, back when I had just exited from seclusion, I was feeling somewhat hungry, as such, thanks to my maid Ming Yun, I discovered him, even back then he was an old man that couldn't progress forward much, but in terms of cooking ability, he was the greatest I had ever seen."
"After enjoying his food, I gave him an opportunity, causing him to break through to the True Awakening Realm, but sadly, it seems as though that was not nearly enough, as he once again became unable to progress after reaching the peak of the True Awakening Realm."
"It's a pity that cooking is not a True Dao, otherwise he would have been able to easily survive up until now," said Xu Yue, mumbling the last part under her breath.
Hearing Xu Yue's evaluation of this Fang Shi, surprise couldn't help but appear on the faces of the other three.
"It's a pity, otherwise he would have been able to cook for us right now," mumbled Feng Shuchun, shaking her head.
