Crossing the Sword

"Bang!" A large coffee table was smashed to pieces by Meng Lei's palm. Retracting his palm, Meng Lei squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "Ye...Thirteen!"

There were two other people with him, the same two who followed him in the school during the day. One of them was dressed like a scholar and the other was a rather burly man. The latter asked, "Master, why are you suddenly so angry?"

Meng Lei was still furious. He glared at the burly young man fiercely and said with jealousy, "Didn't you see that when Jingwei addressed Ye Shisan during the day, her eyes were different from usual? How is my identity, status, talent, and appearance inferior to Zhang Tianya? But I have been pursuing Jingwei for such a long time, but she has always been lukewarm towards me. How could Ye Shisan deserve such love from her? I really can't swallow this!"

The burly young man was glared at by Meng Lei, and he immediately lowered his head and lost his temper. After listening to him, he said: "Since the young master hates him so much, I will teach him a lesson at school tomorrow and warn him not to pay attention to Princess Jingwei!"

The young man dressed as a scholar finally spoke up, "Don't be impulsive, Xiao Wu. Someone witnessed him and Jian Yi fighting to a draw today. You can't deal with him." Then he said respectfully to Meng Lei, "Master, you can't be impatient to deal with Ye Shisan. Send someone to assassinate him in two days. Although he has outstanding performance, he has no background after all. Even if he is found out by then, I believe Emperor Yan will not make things difficult for you just because of a dead man."

It turned out that these two people were orphans adopted by the Qinglong Marquis Mansion since childhood. The one dressed as a scholar was called Meng Wen, and the other was called Meng Wu. The two were Meng Lei's personal guard and dog-headed military advisor.

Meng Lei nodded: "Just do as you wish."

Zhang Tianya had offended the evil young man Meng Lei, but he was still unaware of it. However, their plan was doomed to fail, because starting tomorrow morning, Ye Shisan would become the prefect of Shangdang Prefecture. They did not have the courage to assassinate the second-rank Yuan of the imperial court!

*******

When Jingwei saw Ye Shisan making such a strange move, she was stunned for a moment and wanted to see what was going on, so she did not go forward to disturb him.

Ye Shisan stood in the center of the martial arts training ground, closed his eyes, opened his arms, and felt the breeze of the evening maple blowing towards him. With a thought, the imperial sword in the demon-refining pot appeared in front of him.

At this moment, Ye Shisan suddenly opened his eyes, and a ray of light shot out from his eyes. Almost at the same time when he grabbed the sword, the sword had already rushed out of the scabbard with a chilling aura.

Under the stimulation of Ye Shisan's internal force, the cold air instantly spread throughout the martial arts training ground. With the sword in hand, Ye Shisan stood proudly like a giant tree, and even the Shangfang sword seemed to resonate with Zhang Tianya's thoughts, making a long and clear sound.

Jingwei was actually stunned at this time, how could she care about being angry?

Ye Shisan exerted a little force on his toes, and his body floated up. A cold light flashed, and in a moment, Zhang Tianya stabbed, picked, chopped, cut, shook, or swept, and he made 81 sword strikes in a row. With each sword strike, the cold light in the sword energy made the air in the entire martial arts training ground a little colder, and it became a little heavier under the condensation of the cold air.

There were originally many wooden stakes in the training ground for the guards to practice their boxing and kicking. After Ye Shisan swung his eighty-one swords, the stakes closest to him actually sank an inch under the heavy air pressure. If you didn't look carefully, it would be very difficult to notice.

"Pah!" The long sword returned to the sheath, Ye Shisan smiled and walked out of the training ground, greeted Jingwei and asked with a smile: "How about my move just now?"

Jingwei finally came to her senses and, after hearing Ye Shisan's question, she murmured, "How terrifying!"

Ye Shisan took back the imperial sword with satisfaction. Since meeting Chisongzi, under his pressure, his state of mind had actually made a breakthrough, and he even completed the "Xingshen Xuanchen" without forming a seal. This experience gave him a lot of inspiration, and he kept recalling the scene afterwards.

He did not come to his senses until Jingwei shouted, but then a flash of enlightenment came into his mind, and he came up with such a strange and powerful move.

If Chisongzi knew that the murderous aura he had just exerted on Ye Shisan was understood by Zhang Tianya and transformed into sword moves in his own form, he would definitely lament that he still underestimated Ye Shisan. However, now that he was in a secret conversation with him in the restriction set by Emperor Yan, he would not know what was happening outside.

Now Ye Shisan has completely recovered. Thinking of what Emperor Yan said before about the "new martial arts competition", he can ask Jingwei, so he asked: "By the way, Uncle Yu asked me to ask you about the martial arts competition. What is it about?"

Although Jingwei's anger had long since subsided after being shocked by Ye Shisan's swordsmanship, she naturally felt a little unhappy when he mentioned it again. So she pouted and said aggrievedly, "Humph, I told you just now, but you didn't listen. You want to ask now? It's too late, so I won't tell you."

Ye Shisan didn't expect that she would actually act like a child at this time. He smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, even if I'm wrong. I've been thinking about the sword move I just used the whole way, so I was quite absorbed in it. How about this, since my move doesn't have a name anyway, please give it a name."

"Really!" Jingwei said happily, "Then this time it's yours." She had already calmed down, and now she heard that such a powerful sword move was to be named by herself, so she was naturally overjoyed and didn't care about being irritable. So she repeated what she had just said.

Ye Shisan nodded and said, "So that's how it is. It seems that Taihao Country should be the strongest country, right? Otherwise, why does it feel like it has better treatment than the other five countries?"

Jingwei smiled and said, "I'll tell you this later. Now we're in your bedroom. You'd better go back and have a rest, Your Excellency the Prefect!" After saying that, she stuck out her tongue at Ye Shisan.

"Okay then." Ye Shisan had no interest in politics, and he just asked casually. He turned around and was about to leave when he remembered the sword move and asked, "Jingwei, you haven't told me the name of the sword move yet."

After hearing this, Jingwei turned around and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Such a powerful sword move cannot be named casually. You should go to sleep first. Let me think about it tonight and tell you the name tomorrow morning." After saying this, she skipped away, looking very happy.

Lying in bed, Ye Shisan couldn't fall asleep for a long time. If someone had told him before that he would become an official one day, and a second-rank official, he would have scoffed at it. But now it has become a reality, and he was completely unprepared, and was forced to do it by Emperor Yan. I really don't know whether I have a good fate or a bad fate.

Looking up at the ceiling, Ye Shisan muttered to himself, "The night is long and I have no mood to sleep, but I am the only one who can't sleep today. Oh, Jingwei is still thinking about the name of the sword move, maybe she can't sleep now either?"
