The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

Chapter 410: Eating the melon and ending up on yourself (5/5)

"Speaking of which, I came to Luofu this time and brought a gift for the martial arts ceremony." General Huai Yan pointed to the sword box beside him.

"This box has a dull sheen and is made of a material that's neither wood nor metal. Metal threads are inlaid onto its surface with exquisite craftsmanship, outlining a lotus pattern. It looks incredibly delicate."

"During the martial arts ceremony, there were countless competitions and celebrations, large and small, but the most important of these was the 'Defending the Ring Competition.'"

"The host will send out skilled warriors to defend the arena, responding to challenges from all sides and showcasing the martial virtues of the Immortal Boat. When I heard you mention the Star Train would be attending the ceremony, I assumed the defender would be Luofu Dragon Lord..."

"Huai Yan sighed as he looked at Dan Heng. He subconsciously still regarded Dan Heng as the Dragon Lord."

Jing Yuan laughed and said, "Old Yan, you're joking. The Dragon Girl with the Medicine in Her Mouth is still young and unskilled in martial arts. How can we let her defend the ring?"

(Bai Lu: I'm performing a martial arts ceremony? Seriously?!)

"When it comes to joking, I'm still not as good as you." Huai Yan was amused.

"General Huaiyan, why don't you open the box and take a look?" Sanyueqi was very curious about the sword in the box.

"Hahaha. This is the sword box I prepared for the prize. It's currently empty. But in a few days, a precious sword will arrive here and be stored inside."

"I'm not boasting, but this sword is the pinnacle of Zhu Mingxianzhou's craftsmanship. It once wandered far away, accomplishing countless heroic feats. Its wonders are too numerous to describe in a few words."

Huai Yan smiled, stroking his beard.

"Everyone couldn't help but be curious."

"Oh? It's such a good sword!"

Ou Yezi was greatly surprised.

He has to sit up and watch this!

"What kind of sword will it be? Will it be more powerful than the Taia I forged..."

…………

Jing Yuan: "Master Yan has such a kind intention. Jing Yuan would like to thank you for this."

"Grandpa, if you want to give me the sword, just tell me directly. Why go through so much trouble?" Yun Li walked over and said confidently.

"What do you mean Yan Qing defends the ring? She'll knock him down in a matter of minutes!"

Huai Yan couldn't help but laugh: "Girl, you are confident, but I don't think you can beat Yan Qing."

"Yanqing knows that Miss Yunli loves swords. It's a pity that a sword always chooses its worthy owner." Yanqing said sarcastically.

Yun Li was not to be outdone: "Even if some people get the sword, it will inevitably fall into the hands of others."

"Hahaha, these two are at it again. It's always so fun to watch them bicker."

Zhu Yuanzhang was delighted to see this.

"Girl, do they look like us when we're bickering?"

Empress Ma rolled her eyes at him and said, "What are you talking about in front of the children?"

Zhu Biao: “…”

Zhu Di: “…”

They heard nothing and saw nothing.

…………

"The outcome of today's battle at the Dan Ding Division has yet to be decided. Since Miss Yunli is interested, why not represent Zhu Ming Xianzhou and fight?" Yan Qing invited.

"That's exactly what I was thinking!" Yun Li snorted. "Who will be the winner is still uncertain! Maybe it's me, maybe it's someone else, maybe it's still me, but in any case... it may not be him!"

"Xiao Yunli, you already used two "maybes" in your sentence just now..."

Li Bai almost died of laughter at Yun Li's words "Maybe it's still me".

Which good person would speak like this?

But, it sounds like... little Yunli is really cute.

Like his little sister next door.

…………

"It seems Feixiao was right. If they collide, they'll either die or get hurt," Xing grumbled.

"I don't want to be too rude... but after watching this drama for so long, I really want to see who will win. "March 7th highlights the spectators who are not afraid of making trouble."

"Calm down in front of the guests," Huai Yan said, stopping the two children's quarrel. "I gave you my sword to add luster to the martial arts ceremony, not to listen to you bickering and damaging our alliance."

"Besides, if he gave away the sword and Yunli won it back, what would happen?"

"If you don't know him, you might think he just wants to take the credit for giving the gift, but he doesn't actually want to give it away!"

"Although both of you are confident you can't lose to each other, fighting in a ring is always a win-lose situation, which is bound to damage the relationship. I have an idea..."

"Although the winner hasn't been announced yet, and it may not necessarily be you two, if you want to claim the prize, I want you to work together to train an apprentice, have him participate in the martial arts ceremony, and win at least one victory."

"In my humble opinion, while it's certainly commendable for a Cloud Rider to achieve victory, it's even more valuable to pass down your skills, allowing them to flourish and benefit others."

"Huai Yan came up with a good idea."

Even Jing Yuan found it amusing: "Master Yan's idea is truly intriguing. Passing on skills to a disciple demonstrates a spirit of cooperation. This way, the winner gains something, and the loser doesn't return empty-handed. But who should the two of them accept as their disciple?"

"Then, Xing Danheng looked at San Yueqi at the same time."

Sanyueqi was confused: "Huh? Who? Me? Me?"

"Hahaha, Xiao Sanyue's expression is so funny that it kills me."

Li Shimin clapped his thigh and laughed.

That confused expression, of being completely unable to react, is so cute no matter how you look at it.

"Oh, Xing and Danheng were looking at the only one among the three of them who had not been stabbed yet." Empress Changsun covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Now that the Queen has mentioned this, I suddenly remember that Xing and Danheng already have their second forms, and Xing even has a third form, but Sanyue doesn't have one yet!"

"However, if Sanyue learns sword skills from Yanqing, she will have to call Jingliu something...Master?"

Li Shimin had a subtle look on his face.

Jingliu has such a young girl's face, but she is going to be a master!

…………

"Just now, I noticed that Miss Sanyue was quite interested in your sword fight. Why don't you teach her the basics of swordsmanship?" Huai Yan thought this person was a perfect choice.

"…Huh? Hey! Are you serious, General?"

"Why are you dragging me into this all of a sudden? I've never practiced swordsmanship before! I have absolutely no foundation! How can I possibly learn this? I'm not going to be shamefully expelled from the sect!"

"March Seven was shocked."

"She ate the melon and it fell on herself?"

"March, just give in!" Xing uttered the classic line from the villain's henchman when he was trying to abduct a woman.

"Besides, an archer who can't fight in close combat isn't a good archer!"

"Whose archers actually use bows? They all use swords! Look at that golden glitter, look at that red A..."
