Chapter 1274: Chapter 315: Advancement

Kids going to school?

What’s the matter?

Lord Zheng, who had always just hands-off approached things, really didn’t know about this, but it didn’t stop him from hearing the Sword Saint’s last words:

I will kill the person for you.

Well,

letting kids read is a good thing, isn’t it?

If the Sword Saint is willing to keep killing for me,

I can easily support those kids to directly sit for the imperial exam, join Hanlin Academy, compile "Snow Sea Classics" or "Complete Library in the Four Branches of Literature", or anything else, no problem.

Lord Zheng looked at the Sword Saint,

and said:

"I’ve always thought that kids should read more. They are the future flowers of our Yan... oh no, they are the future flowers of our Zhuxia."

The Sword Saint just quietly looked at Zheng Fan for a while, eventually didn’t speak, only nodded.

The head was placed here, he raised his sword and turned to leave.

Lord Zheng untied the bundle and saw the head inside, his eyes immediately squinted,

and said spontaneously:

"Cherishing Thoughts Manor Qin Yueyue."

The Sword Saint stopped, turned back, looked at Zheng Fan, and said: "You actually recognize her?"

"Not that I don’t recognize her, you sent me such a precious gift without a word, aren’t you afraid I won’t understand how significant this gift is?"

"Your subordinates, some will know her."

Lord Zheng’s subordinates are talented, this point, the Sword Saint understands clearly.

Like Mr. Feng, who is rumored to measure the world, and Mr. Bei, who even Gou Moli fears.

Also like Master Three who personally set up the Snow Sea Pass spy system, and each battle is inevitably commanded by General Liang.

That big guy who seems most simple-minded,

The sword maid once told the Sword Saint,

The sword style she taught, that big guy could grasp it instantly after she practiced it once.

The Sword Saint paused, then said:

"A bit unexpected you recognize her."

"In the past, by the riverbank, my brother-in-law and my... five brother-in-law? Anyway, they debated by the riverbank, I’ve seen this woman, was she here to probe our Snow Sea Pass’s military affairs?"

"Not sure, but probably is."

Zheng Fan glanced at the Longyuan in the Sword Saint’s hand,

and said:

"Your trouble, your sword in my eyes should be a rainbow in the sky, yet it must do these earthly tasks."

"If last time you hadn’t let me kill pigs, maybe I’d believe your words."

"Look, being particular about this, aren’t you."

"Killing her, I do it willingly, remember your promise, kids should stay where they are supposed to be."

"I promise you."

"Zheng Fan, do you know why I still live with my family at Snow Sea Pass?"

If the Sword Saint wants to leave, he can leave anytime.

Leaving Snow Sea Pass in the morning, ascending the imperial hall by evening;

Assuming,

The Sword Saint could completely find a place with beautiful landscapes, either build a hut, or open a small shop, the life he desires, he can guard with his sword.

"Why?"

"Many actions of the Earl’s Mansion, I may not fully agree, but I like the atmosphere ruled by it; if you change someday..."

"Then you will leave?"

"I will use my sword to kill you."

"Too extreme."

"At least, let you remain in my memory as that Lord Pingye, that General Shengle."

"Too Jin style."

Lord Zheng stood up,

and said:

"Speaking genuinely..."

"Gou Moli said, generally when someone starts with this phrase, it means next they’ll start lying to you."

"That guy is on a narrow path."

"But I’m willing to listen."

"Actually, I’m not a good person." Lord Zheng pointed at the Sword Saint, "Neither are you. I don’t know if there are true saints in this world, but neither you nor I are strictly saints.

It’s that Yao Zizhan from Qian State, the Literary Sage;

I heard, last year he took a concubine aged thirteen;

Tsk tsk, they may regard it as a good story, but for me, it’s still no better than animals."

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"I want to say, I’ve never thought of being emperor, do you believe it?"

"Then your obsession with rebellion, is it for fun?"

"Following what you said, if I nod, saying yes, would you believe it?"

The Sword Saint didn’t speak.

Zheng Fan walked to the Sword Saint, reached out to grab the Longyuan.

The Sword Saint didn’t hold back, and naturally let Zheng Fan take Longyuan.

Once, outside the capital city, the Sword Saint was defeated by Tian Wujing, Longyuan got lost;

Later, Tian Wujing bestowed Zheng Fan as General Shengle, gifting Longyuan, eventually, Longyuan returned to the Sword Saint’s hand.

"Killing her, took quite some effort?"

"Didn’t take effort."

Lord Zheng nodded, said: "Indeed."

Actually, really didn’t take much effort.

Because the swordsmith added to the Longyuan sword a restriction that could break the Locking Phoenix Hand, a technique only practiced by the royal family of Chu.

If the details of this battle are publicized, the swordsmith might find it hard to enter the palace gates again.

"Wow..."

Lord Zheng pulled out Longyuan,

waved a sword flower,

and said;

"Longyuan, though a famous sword of this era, is still only four feet long, neither you nor I are saints.

Yet,

The world is too vast,

I only care for the four feet in front of me!"

Upon hearing this, the Sword Saint’s expression suddenly changed, murmuring:

"The world is too vast, only care for the four feet in front of me."

The next moment,

The Longyuan originally held in Lord Zheng’s hand emitted a vibrating hum, directly flew out, heading straight towards the Sword Saint, and began revolving around him.
