Chapter 36 Still Want to be Your Sister in My Afterlife!
Chapter 36 Still Want to be Your Sister in My Afterlife!
“You!”
Cang Zhong fixed his eyes steadily at Ye Xuan, and his face became purple with anger.
If Ye Xuan was not on the Nine-grid Platform, he would take his move already. Because according to a rule of Cangmu College, anyone, especially people in Cangmu College, mustn’t intervene the one who was on the Nine-grid Platform. More broadly, this exam was specially designed by the founder of Cangmu College in case that the mentors and elders in the college might play favoritism and commit regularities which might lead to the miss of true geniuses and marvels!
Therefore, even if Cang Zhong’s lungs nearly burst with rage, he dared not take his move!
On the Nine-grid Platform, Ye Xuan ignored Cang Zhong. Instead, he glanced around and found that these wooden people stopped moving. He thought about it for a while and asked, “Am I sort of qualified now?”
“Qualified?”
Around the Nine-grid Platform, Cang Zhong sneered. “You ruined these swords of the wooden people by cheating. Did you call that qualified? You...”
Ye Xuan took a cold look at Cang Zhong, and interrupted his words, “Cheating? Do you have any evidence?”
Cang Zhong angered, “Evidence? You are just in the Qi Varying Realm. How could you make those wooden swords disappear in an instant? Do you still think that you were not cheating?”
Ye Xuan glanced around and sighed in a low voice. “Now that I understand why the Formation has not been broken for so many years. It turns out that once someone breaks it, it will be cheating. Hehe, I really have broadened my horizons!”
Around them, there were also many discussions.
At this time, a student from Cangmu College abruptly came to Ye Xuan. He sized Ye Xuan up. “You are just in the Qi Varying Realm. How could you be capable of breaking the Nine-grid Formation?”
Ye Xuan looked straight at that student, “But I broke it already.”
The student shook his head. “I believe there was something strange going on. As Elder Cang Zhong said, you must have used some special means.”
Hearing this, all the students from Cangmu College around nodded.
They naturally wouldn’t believe that someone could break the Nine-grid Formation, especially it was broken with ease. At the time when they joined Cangmu College, the Nine-grid Formation was an unthinkable thing!
Even the several leading super marvels in the internal of the college failed to break this Nine-grid Formation. Why could this man before them be able to?
He must have cheated!
Almost everyone believed that Ye Xuan cheated!
Ye Xuan looked at the wooden people around him which had already stopped moving. Thinking in silence for a while, he asked in his heart, “Predecessor, was it cheating?”
“Are you nuts?”
The mysterious woman suddenly said, “Although you haven’t understood the Conceptual Sword Skill, you have achieved the Clear Sword Heart and have cultivated the ‘Invincible Sword Body Incantation’. You make swords part of your body. Though you haven’t obtained great achievements, you got some small successes. These wooden people could only be regarded as low-level Sword Cultivators. They obtained considerable strength when the Formation was added. However, you are a genuine Great Sword Cultivator, or you can even be called as a Sword Master-to-be. Moreover, by using the ‘Invincible Sword Body Incantation’, you can absorb swords. If they were not Sword Cultivators, it might take you some efforts to deal with them; while since they are Sword Cultivators, you are their nemesis.”
Hearing her words, Ye Xuan smiled bitterly. The reason he asked her was that he won too easily. But now after he heard the mysterious woman’s words, he truly understood at last.
Thinking about this, he looked at Cang Zhong and was just about to speak. But a middle-aged man suddenly appeared in the field. Some Cangmu College students around saluted deeply at him immediately, they said in one voice, “Greetings, Associate Dean Li Xiu!”
Even Cang Zhong saluted instantly.
The Associate Dean!
In Cangshan College, there were three Associate Deans who were figures with real power!
Li Xiu!
Ye Xuan glanced at Li Xiu in front of his eyes and his heart froze!
Unfathomable!
The strength of this man in front of him perhaps was only slightly lower than the Floorlord of the ninth floor on the Cloud Ship!
A real heavyweight came out!
However, it was also his purpose. The purpose he broke the Nine-grid Formation was to draw the heavyweights in Cangmu College out.
Li Xiu glanced at Cang Zhong next to him. “Business is business, and the private affairs are private affairs. Abusing your power for private affairs is the most undesirable thing. From now on, you will not be in charge of enrollment. Go to check in at the Logistics Division in the mountains behind the College!”
Hearing him say so, Cang Zhong’s face suddenly became pale. He saluted in a hurry and explained, “Associate Dean, this person hasn’t reached the Qi Harnessing Realm. I tried to stop him. I am not making a mistake here. I...”
Li Xiu interrupted Cang Zhong. “I don’t know what grievance you have with him, but the student enrollment thing is related to the prosperity of Cangmu College in the future. How can it be mingled with personal affairs? You should speak no more!”
Cang Zhong’s look turned extremely ugly, but he didn’t dare to say anything or he didn’t leave either. He just stepped aside and kept staring at Ye Xuan steadily.
Li Xiu turned to look at Ye Xuan, and Ye Xuan slightly saluted, “Greetings, Associate Dean!”
The Associate Dean peered at Ye Xuan. “I don’t know what method you used to ruin those wooden swords, but your foundation and fighting capacity are enough to join Cangmu College. I...”
Speaking of this, his brows suddenly wrinkled because he seemed to find something. Then he quickly walked up to Ye Xuan and put a hand on Ye Xuan’s shoulder.
Inside Ye Xuan, the Ling Xiao Sword disappeared quietly.
Soon, Li Xiu took back his hand. He took a deep look at Ye Xuan. “You don’t have the Elixir Field!”
After he said this, everyone around was stunned.
Cang Zhong was also stunned a little. But in a flash, he became so wild with joy that he was nearly going to laugh madly.
Ye Xuan was silent, and asked in his heart, “Predecessor, why did you put up the Ling Xiao Sword? Can’t I reveal my special Elixir Field to others?”
“Of course, you can’t!”
The mysterious woman said, “This method is too shocking. If they know that you make the sword to be your Elixir Field, it is very likely to be very dangerous with your current strength. Because this is a brand new way of cultivation and system!”
Hearing her words, Ye Xuan thought about it for a while. He felt it was reasonable. Then he nodded, “I don’t have the Elixir Field! I...”
“Ha ha...”
Aside, Cang Zhong suddenly burst into laughter. “You don’t have the Elixir Field? That is to say, you Ye Xuan can only be a Fighter at most, a low-ranking Fighter. What qualifications do you have to join Cangmu College?”
Ye Xuan did not care about Cang Zhong. He only looked at Li Xiu in front of him.
After a few moments of silence, Li Xiu said, “You don’t have the Elixir Field so it will be very hard for you to achieve the Innate Realm in your lifetime. Cangmu College will never give resources to a student without the Elixir Field. Hence, you can’t become a student of Cangmu College... But considering that you have a good foundation, you can stay in the college as a Fighter!”
Fighters were low-grade handymen who only did odds and ends for students and mentors in the college.
“Be a Fighter?”
Ye Xuan’s face fell right away. Naturally, he didn’t want to be a Fighter. His aim was to join Cangmu College, so he was going to show his Conceptual Battle Skill. But right at this point, an anxious voice from Lu Xiaoran suddenly sounded aside. “Little friend Ye...”
Looking toward the voice and seeing the appearance of Ye Ling who was next to Lu Xiaoran, Ye Xuan’s face changed dramatically in a sudden!
Now Ye Ling had a head of hoar-frost, her body constantly sent out bouts of chill, and her whole person was like a piece of ice!
Ye Xuan was horrified in his heart that he quickly rushed before Lu Xiaoran and picked Ye Ling up. The moment he touched Ye Ling, he shivered because of the chill coming out from Ye Ling!
“This?”
This moment Ye Xuan was so flustered that he fell in a state of utter stupefaction!
Seemingly thinking of something, he abruptly looked at Li Xiu who was not far away and pled, “Predecessor, please let doctors in Cangmu College attend to my sister!”
Li Xiu glanced at Ye Ling and shook his head. “There are only three Masters in the Tao of Medicine in Cangmu College. How can they come out to attend someone easily?”
There were only less than ten Masters in the Tao of Medicine in the entire Jiang Country, and three of which were in Cangmu College. They were treated as national treasures so it would be too much difficult to ask them to attend someone! Even he might not be able to invite a Master in the Tao of Medicine out. Even if he could make it, he must pay a price! The teenager in front of him had no value at all. Then how could it be possible for him to pay a certain price to invite those Masters in the Tao of Medicine out?
Ye Xuan still wanted to say something, but Li Xiu just shook his head. “Your Elixir Field is broken. You will stop at the Qi Varying Realm your whole life. If you like, you can stay at Cangmu College as a Fighter. If you don’t want to, leave immediately.”
After that, he went off in a huff.
Ye Xuan whose Elixir Field was broke had no value for Cangmu College.
At this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly blocked before Li Xiu, holding Ye Ling whose breathing was getting weaker. Ye Xuan knelt down on one knee. He stared at Li Xiu and his eyes were red. “If Cangmu College is willing to save my sister, I, Ye Xuan, can go through hell for Cangmu College without any hesitation, even if I will die a million times!”
Li Xiu looked at Ye Xuan. After a while, his eyes gradually became ice cold. “You are not qualified!”
After that, he turned and went up to the mountain.
Ye Xuan still wanted to say something, just at this time—
“Brother...”
In Ye Xuan’s arms, Ye Ling suddenly said in pain, “No. I don’t want to see any doctors. Brother, you, be quick... Get up...”
In the eyes of Ye Ling, her tears kept flowing which were actually ice blue!
Ye Ling held Ye Xuan tight. She felt wronged. Not for herself but for her brother. When did her brother kneel down before others? She didn’t want to see any doctor. She really didn’t!
Ye Xuan sat down on the ground weakly and limply. He held Ye Ling who was getting colder and colder in his arms. He just held her so tightly. His whole body was trembling and his tears overflowed like the flood pouring down from broken dams. He cried like a child. “I’m sorry... your brother is useless... Sorry...”
In Ye Xuan’s arms, Ye Ling put her head close to the chest of Ye Xuan. The chill overwhelmed her whole body, but her breathing was getting weaker.
Ye Ling held Ye Xuan tight. She looked up at Ye Xuan and forced a smile, “Brother, don’t, don’t cry... Die lying in my brother’s arms, I, I am very happy already...”
Ye Xuan held Ye Ling tight, and he felt as if a knife was piercing his heart. In his body, the Ling Xiao Sword trembled unceasingly and he was already on the verge of collapse.
Ye Ling held Ye Xuan’s cheeks in her hands. She just was looking at Ye Xuan like that. She looked and looked until she smiled suddenly. “Brother, after I die, take my ashes with you. I want to accompany you in your whole life... Also, live well, be sure to live well...”
With this, her eyes slowly closed, and her breathing was weaker and weaker. “Brother... I still want to be your sister in my afterlife...”
