Chapter 111 You're such a good person
"Oh, you mean Zhao'er? I gave her some work and sent her away," Yun Ruoyu said matter-of-factly.
Yue Feng couldn't help but chuckle: "Sect Leader Yun, would you like to have a private chat with me?"
Yun Ruoyu sat down opposite him, her eyes sparkling as she stared at him: "Chief Yue, so you know, I've already punished Senior Sister Ge according to the sect rules, and she has promised not to do it again, nor will she cause trouble for Shen Family Village. Can we just let this matter drop?"
Yue Feng cupped his hands in greeting to Yun Ruoyu: "I am perfectly capable of doing this, Sect Leader Yun, thank you for your trouble."
Yun Ruoyu nodded: "It is indeed quite tiring. So, Chief Yue, could you do me a small favor?"
Yue Feng was taken aback, not expecting that Yun Ruoyu would approach him first before he even asked for her help: "Sect Leader Yun, please speak. As long as it is within my power, I will certainly accompany you."
Yun Ruoyu was delighted to hear this, smiled sweetly at him, and said:
"Chief Yue, you're so kind. Here's what happened: Our Heavenly Sword Sect has an internal skill called 'Guanghan Skill,' and another sword technique derived from it called 'Guanghan Moonlight Sword.' Senior Sister Ge used both of these skills when she fought you."
"What happened to those two martial arts techniques?"
Yun Ruoyu sighed and said, "My kung fu hasn't improved much, but I've encountered a bottleneck in my training. If I don't break through this bottleneck, my martial arts will never progress."
"I searched through all the classic texts of our sect and asked all the senior members of our sect, but none of them were of any help to me. It was Zhao'er who reminded me that 'the stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade.' If I could discuss things with people outside, it might inspire me to overcome my bottleneck."
"Chief Yue, I've heard a lot about your deeds from Zhao'er. Meeting you today has made me even more impressed. Would you be willing to lend me a hand? Ruoyu won't let your efforts be in vain."
Yue Feng had come to see Yun Ruoyu to discuss martial arts. Finding her explanation reasonable, he nodded and said, "I'm naturally willing, but I don't know how I can help."
Yun Ruoyu had assumed that Yue Feng, being so shrewd, would impose all sorts of harsh conditions. Hearing him agree so readily, she was overjoyed: "That's wonderful! Chief Yue, you're such a good person!"
Yue Feng couldn't help but smile wryly: "Sect Leader Yun, I'm not a good person. Let's get down to business."
Although Yun Ruoyu was puzzled, since Yue Feng had already said so, she couldn't press the matter further. After thinking for a moment, she asked Yue Feng, "Chief Yue, how much do you know about our sect's Guanghan Skill and Guanghan Moonlit Sword?"
As Yue Feng recalled his fight with Ge Changqing, he slowly shook his head: "Just now at the foot of the mountain, it was the first time I had encountered these two styles of kung fu. At the time, I was only thinking about how to deal with them, and I can't say that I understood them much."
Yun Ruoyu's pretty face revealed a hint of excitement: "Then how about we have a sparring session? After sparring a few times, you'll naturally understand. Then we can talk about these two skills."
Yue Feng figured that with Wu Shuangxue overseeing things at Shuiyue Manor and Chen Ji already sent there, nothing should go wrong, so he agreed.
Yun Ruoyu, citing the room's small size and lack of space, led Yue Feng out of the room and into the deep mountains. Along the way, Yue Feng saw many Heavenly Sword Sect disciples guarding the area, all of whom bowed respectfully to Yun Ruoyu and cast strange glances at him.
He walked with Yun Ruoyu for a long time when they suddenly heard a loud, booming sound of water. He casually asked Yun Ruoyu, "Is there a waterfall ahead?"
Yun Ruoyu came to Yue Feng's side and walked alongside him, smiling, "Chief Yue is truly clever; your guess was spot on. Why don't you guess again, where is this place?"
Yue Feng looked around and tentatively asked, "The back of Heavenly Sword Mountain?"
"It's the back mountain, which is also a forbidden area of my Heavenly Sword Sect." Yun Ruoyu stared intently at Yue Feng, trying to catch his shocked expression. "Sect Leader Yue, trespassing on another sect's forbidden area will be punished."
Yue Feng was genuinely surprised at first, but upon hearing Yun Ruoyu's next words, he couldn't help but laugh: "As the saying goes, 'To die beneath the peony is to die a romantic death.' If Sect Leader Yun wants to punish me, then punish me; I'll gladly accept it."
Despite her lively and carefree nature, Yun Ruoyu had always been surrounded by women, so how could she compare to Yue Feng, the "Marshal of a Flower Garden"? She couldn't help but blush.
"Chief Yue, why are you suddenly talking nonsense? If others hear this, they'll think you're sentimental and lack courage."
Yue Feng replied without hesitation, "If it were any other woman, I certainly wouldn't lose my heroic spirit; but if it were Sect Leader Yun, I might have to make it a little less heroic."
Yun Ruoyu's face flushed even more, and she quickly walked forward. Yue Feng followed behind her with a grin, admiring her graceful figure.
The two walked for several dozen feet, and the sound of water grew louder and louder. Suddenly, a waterfall that looked like a jade dragon appeared in front of Yue Feng.
Below the waterfall lies a deep, icy blue spring, its banks densely covered with countless longswords of various shapes and sizes. A chilling sword aura emanates from the blades, converging and enveloping the entire spring like a dome.
Yue Feng praised, "This is truly a wonderful place to practice swordsmanship!"
Yun Ruoyu's tone was not without pride: "This place is called 'Sword Spring,' which is not only where the successive sect leaders of the Heavenly Sword Sect practiced their swordsmanship, but also where we participate in the 'Heavenly Sword Trial.'"
"The Heavenly Sword Trial? What's that?"
Yun Ruoyu stood gracefully by the spring, pointing to the cold water: "At the bottom of this sword spring, there is a sword manual left by the founder of my Heavenly Sword Sect, which records the most profound secrets of sword techniques."
"Every sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect has only one chance to dive to the bottom of the Sword Spring and retrieve the Sword Scripture. If they fail, they must leave behind their sword and relinquish their position as sect leader."
"As you can see, there are countless failures, but not a single success. That legendary sword manual is still safely hidden at the bottom of the Sword Spring."
Yue Feng thought to himself that if this sword manual from the Heavenly Sword Sect lived up to its name, it might help him reach even greater heights. So he said, "Sect Leader Yun, please forgive my intrusion, but I wonder if someone else could retrieve this sword manual on my behalf?"
Yun Ruoyu was taken aback: "Have someone else collect it for you? How can that be allowed?"
Yue Feng said, "Why can't it be? The rules of the Heavenly Sword Sect are for the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect, right? What you just said only applies to the sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect."
"I am neither a member of the Heavenly Sword Sect nor its leader. Wouldn't it be better if I took the sword manual and handed it over to you?"
"I don't ask for much, just that you lend me the sword manual to take a look."
Yun Ruoyu said, "The sword manual doesn't contain any specific martial arts techniques, so it's not unreasonable for you to take a look. But... but..."
Upon hearing this, Yue Feng realized there was potential and added fuel to the fire for Yun Ruoyu:
"Sect Master Yun, you brought me here not just to break through the bottleneck of Guanghan Gong and Guanghan Yuehua Sword, right? You probably also want to dive into the bottom of the Sword Spring and get that legendary sword manual, right?"
"In that case, why go to the trouble of seeking something far away when we have it nearby? Perhaps once I get my hands on that sword manual, all your problems will be solved."
