Crossing the Sword

The next morning when he was practicing sword, he found that Luo Feng had already gotten up. When he saw Ye Shisan practicing sword, he immediately turned around and wanted to leave.

Ye Shisan naturally noticed him, and while continuing to practice sword, he casually said, "If you are interested, just stay and have a look." Along the way, he had a good feeling about Luo Feng. At this moment, he suddenly became interested and decided to give him some pointers on martial arts.

Luo Feng was about to thank him when he found that Ye Shisan's sword was retracted and released again, and his style was very different from before. What he practiced just now was all boring, his mind and sword were in his hands, and he did it casually, without any rules, and even his sword intention was not fixed. Although it looked very gorgeous in Luo Feng's eyes, he knew that it was actually full of flaws. Only after countless such trainings could he summarize and integrate the experience, and thus create new moves. Most of his sword skills also came from this.

At this moment, he wanted to teach Luo Feng some martial arts, so he naturally couldn't fool him with such a flawed move. So he slowly performed his original Tianya Nijian from beginning to end, and recited the formula casually: "The cool night wind cuts the soul, and the moonlight on the eyebrows leads to the underworld. The swaying candlelight is sad and beautiful, and Tai'a held upside down can also hurt people..."

When Luo Feng saw this, he swallowed back the words of thanks he was about to say and concentrated on taking notes.

After performing a set of sword techniques, Ye Shisan said, "The way of swordsmanship emphasizes intention rather than strength. How much you have learned just now depends on your luck. However, this is not a set of sword techniques suitable for you. To find a set of sword techniques that suits you best, the best way is to create your own. I hope the sword techniques just now can help you."

Luo Feng was awakened from his shock at Ye Shisan's sword-reversing move, and he knelt down and clasped his fists, saying, "Luo Feng thanks you very much, Senior, for your help!"

Ye Shisan hated this kind of etiquette the most. He quickly held up his sleeves and pulled him up through the air with a burst of energy, saying, "Don't thank me. Now that you have understood something, practice quickly and you will get twice the result with half the effort."

Luo Feng immediately went back to the house and took out his sword. When he wanted to practice again, he found that he had forgotten 70% of the sword skills he had just memorized.

Ye Shisan naturally knew this would happen, and smiled as he gave advice: "If you really memorize all the sword techniques and formulas I just taught you, and practice the reverse sword technique instead, then you will never be able to reach the level of a true master. You have been practicing swords since you were young, so your swordsmanship style has already been set. It would be unwise to force a change. The best way is to integrate all the insights you have accumulated into your own swordsmanship, and gradually form your own style."

Luo Feng was not a fool. After hearing Ye Shisan's advice, he had some enlightenment in his heart. He then integrated the inspiration he had just gained from the sword-reversing technique into his family's sword technique. Zhang Tianya was watching from the side and gave advice when he saw mistakes. He did not expect that his advice would lead to the creation of a sword immortal in the future. This is a story for later, so let's not talk about it for now.

Seeing that Luo Feng was practicing diligently, Ye Shisan simply had nothing else to do, so he continued to instruct him diligently. Before he knew it, it was already past breakfast time. The other people in the Luo Mansion seemed to attach great importance to such etiquette, including Hua Yu and Luo Yuan, who had always been very willful. When they saw Ye Shisan instructing Luo Feng on martial arts, they immediately avoided him, and no one stayed to watch.

"Report!" At this time, a servant ran over and said to Ye Shisan respectfully, "Master Zhang, Miss Xue Ji of Xue Mansion invites Master Zhang to come to the mansion to reminisce about the past. The carriage is waiting outside."

Ye Shisan thought to himself, isn't this Xue Ji too ignorant? Yesterday, he left without saying goodbye, which was very disrespectful to her. Now she invites him again. What the hell is she up to?

Seeing that the servants of the Luo Mansion were still waiting, he ordered, "Please tell them that I have other things to do and will go back after I finish them. Let them go first."

After the servant left, Luo Feng stopped, walked up to Ye Shisan and said with a smile: "Senior, a beautiful woman invited you early in the morning. It seems you are very lucky." This was of course a joke.

Ye Shisan laughed and scolded: "Yan you! Such a good fortune, do you want it?"

Although Luo Feng knew that Ye Shisan was joking, he couldn't help but shudder at the thought of this possibility and said, "You're welcome. Senior, I was wrong. Don't scare me." After a pause, he turned serious and said, "But since you don't want to see her, why did you agree to go?"

Ye Shisan chuckled and said, "After noon, Mr. Xue will go home, and I'll just go to return the book. Do you think I'm really interested in that woman? Well, don't be lazy, and continue practicing sword skills!"

After lunch, Ye Shisan leisurely left Luo Mansion and walked towards Xue Mansion.

One or two carriages passed by him on the road. The driver turned around and said to the inside of the carriage, "Sir, that person just now seemed to be Mr. Ye whom I met yesterday." Ye Shisan heard that he seemed to be talking about him, so he turned around and looked.

"Oh, stop the car." After the car stopped, an old man was seen lifting the curtain and looking at Ye Shisan. It was Nayan Xuejia.

Seeing that it was really Ye Shisan, Xue Jia asked, "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Ye on the street today. What a coincidence. Where are you going?"

Ye Shisan also went to greet him and said, "I was just thinking of returning the book to your house, but I didn't expect to meet Mr. Xue here."

Xue Jia smiled and said, "You finished reading it so quickly. Being young is good. If it were me, I would not be able to remember the contents of the book for at least two or three days. I just came back from the Imperial Palace. Today, General Ling Fei returned triumphantly, and the Black Emperor wants to hold a banquet to celebrate his success. I was just about to go to the Luo Mansion and invite you to go with me, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Ye Shisan shook his head and said, "I appreciate Mr. Xue's kindness, but although I also hold an official position in Shangdang, I am not used to official social events, so..."

Xue Jia interrupted him and said, "If it was just an ordinary person, why would I specially invite Master Ye to come with me? General Ling is also a hero whom I admire very much. I guarantee that Master Ye will not regret the trip."

Ye Shisan was also somewhat curious. Xue Jia was also a proud person. Someone who could be praised by him so much was naturally not an ordinary person. He readily agreed and got on the carriage. He asked again, "Yesterday, I heard from a friend that the old gentleman loves books very much. No more than three people can borrow books from you. Shisan would like to thank the old gentleman for his kindness again. However, he is very curious, who are those three people?"

Xue Jia smiled and said, "Not three, but four. They are His Majesty the Black Emperor, the Sea God Yu Qiang, and General Ling Fei who I am going to meet today. The other one is you, Master Ye. Hehe..."
