Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 180: Have I said too much over the years?

Sun Yanwan was overjoyed and said, "That's good!"

Although Zhang Qingxi was still young, every time he saw Sun Yanwan, he felt like he was looking at a younger brother, and he always wanted to protect him. Sun Yanwan always remembered to share with him any good things he had, such as the secret of practicing the Golden Tendon and Jade Bone Fist that he had comprehended, and the Withered Bloom Blade that he had just used. He was not stingy with any of them.

He patted Sun Yanwan's shoulder and said with a smile, "Master said that from now on, the Immortal Hammer and the Withered Bloom Blade will be the secret teachings of our Taiyi Temple, and the credit for their achievements will all belong to you. Second Junior Brother, work hard. In ten or twenty years, maybe Senior Brother will be able to use your name to intimidate others."

Sun Yanwan was very pleased to receive the praise from his senior brother. He lowered his voice and said, "Junior brother, I have been promoted to the third rank. I have also mastered the Xuanhuang Ten Transformations, the Xuanbing Treasure Mirror, the Ruyi Qiankun Bag, and the Taiyi Mixed Immortal Silk! You are much stronger than when you were in Taiyi Temple."

Although Zhang Qingxi knew that his second junior brother had an amazing talent for martial arts, he didn't expect that he had such an amazing method.

He and Zhang Yuanqiao were the only ones in the world who knew that Sun Yanwan had practiced martial arts for only a little over a year, not four or five years.

Well, I also added Sun Lingdie and Namco, which I guessed.

After being promoted to the third rank in just over a year, even Zhang Qingxi couldn't help but think, "I told Second Junior Brother back then that in twenty years, you'd be number one in the world! Was that too much?"

Although Sun Yanwan knew many people, he still felt closest to his eldest senior brother. He chattered on and on to Zhang Qingxi, telling him a lot about his own situation. Zhang Qingxi smiled and listened attentively, but in his heart he kept saying, "Second Junior Brother, stop talking. I can't hold it any longer."

After finally getting through the ordeal, he returned to Zhang Qingxi's Prince's residence. He said to Sun Yanwan, "It's not convenient for me to keep you here. I'll invite my second junior brother to Fanlou later."

Sun Yanwan was shocked and said, "Let's not go to that place! The feng shui is not very good."

He had robbed someone at Fanlou, so he felt too embarrassed to go there again.

Zhang Qingxi said with a smile, "Nothing serious. I understand that Fanlou is just a small restaurant. How dare we touch the tiger whiskers of this year's top scholar?"

"Besides, there's also the senior brother!"

Sun Yanwan thought about it and it seemed to be the case.

Although Fan Lou has some influence in Luojing and even has connections with many high-ranking officials, his status and position are different now, and he has the support of his senior brother. What's wrong with having two more meals with him?
It's a pity, I'm afraid no one will use the money.

After Sun Yanwan returned to Luojing, he was given a leisurely job for his contribution in welcoming Han Shi back to the court. And just as his eldest brother had said, he was sent to be the deputy of Monk Kongchan, in charge of this battle for the tripod.

After trying it for a day, Sun Yanwan immediately handed over all the power to the assistants and obediently played the role of mascot.

The various personnel from the Ministry of Rites assigned to him originally thought that Sun Yanwan was young and energetic, and would definitely interfere in everything and take care of everything.

After all, this resolute man who dared to write "a letter to the emperor" to overturn Han Shi's verdict at the Qionglin Banquet did not expect that this top scholar Sun was very easy to talk to, never made things difficult for others, and let them do everything.

He was a man of few words, and when he caught his staff setting traps, he didn't need to say anything harsh, just a few words. However, these scheming officials would be beaten to a pulp by Luo Jing's "gangsters" that night. The wicked ones would break several bones, while the restless ones would be unable to get out of bed for months. After a few of these, Sun Zhuangyuan's "efficiency" suddenly improved.

The venue for this battle for the throne certainly could not be in Luojing. Luojing would not allow a large number of martial arts masters from Northern Yan to enter, and these martial arts masters from Northern Yan would not dare to come so blatantly. The place agreed upon by both parties was at the border of Dalang and Northern Yan, a place called Dingjun Mountain.

When Sun Yanwan saw the place name, she thought of Huang Zhong, and the classic lyrics "This letter comes at a good time" rang in her mind.

Dalang and Beiyan exchanged letters and official documents frequently. Sun Yanwan didn't know which letter came at the right time and which one came at the wrong time. Anyway, after going through all the procedures, it was not until half a month later that this major event involving the two countries was settled. Led by Monk Kongchan, they headed towards the border between the two countries.

Some of the warriors of the Dalang Dynasty who were selected to participate in the battle for the tripod were in Luojing and set off with the team, some were still elsewhere, and others were there to greet them, and they all went to Dingjun Mountain to meet up.

Although Zhang Qingxi was also in the team, the two brothers didn't meet as often as Sun Yanwan had hoped. As the Fourth Prince, Zhang Qingxi was surrounded by numerous eunuchs and was under strict supervision. Sun Yanwan visited him a few times, but found that the rules around the eldest brother were very strict, so he stopped going and usually only delivered letters.

Although they couldn't be together often, they were in the same team after all. With the senior brother by his side, Sun Yanwan felt much more at ease.

This team left Luojing, and along the way warriors from Dalang came to meet up one after another. In addition to the ten main candidates, Monk Kongchan also selected twenty backup candidates. Some of them came early, hoping to get some connections and become main candidates. After all, if they participated in this battle for the throne, they could win a big city in Beiyan and pass it on to their descendants.

Seven or eight days after setting out, the person Sun Yanwan was thinking about finally appeared in the team, and Shi Si also rushed over from Taiyi Temple.

Seeing Shi Si, Sun Yanwan couldn't help but think back to when she attended Nian Xizhao's wedding. She thought to herself, "How can a bunch of vulgar women compare to Master Aunt? I wonder what Nian Xizhao is thinking."

Shi Si went to pay her respects to her master first. Monk Kong Chan had not seen this disciple for a long time. He originally thought that Shi Si had experienced a divorce and was in a bad mood. It was hard to say whether her martial arts had improved or not, and she might even have regressed. He was very worried about his disciple.

If this matter was not so important, Monk Kongchan actually did not want his disciple to go into battle.

But after seeing Shi Si, Monk Kongchan was greatly surprised. Shi Si's body was as crystal clear as crystal, and her martial arts skills not only did not decline, but improved a lot. In particular, she also mastered Monk Kongchan's most proud Vajra Prajna Sword of Heaven and Earth, which made the great master of Shaochan Temple very happy.

He said to Shi Si, "I, your teacher, never thought that you would break through and then rebuild, and actually master this sword technique."

"Are you confident in your ability to defeat Giatana in this battle for the throne?"

Shi Si smiled slightly and said, "I will definitely chop off the head of this little princess of Northern Yan."

Kong Chan was originally quite happy, but after Shi Si chatted with her master for a few words, she said goodbye and turned around to go to Sun Yanwan's car, and never got out after getting in.

Monk Kongchan sat for a while, and suddenly he wanted to activate the Vajra Prajna Sword to chop off Sun Yanwan's head and let this little thief know how powerful the number one swordsmanship of Shaochan Temple is.

Sun Yanwan was almost as happy to see Shi Si as she was to see her senior brother...
