Chapter 277: Chapter 276: The Arrival of the Great Elder

Inside the inn.

Several elders were questioning Xiao Yi extensively.

”We rushed here from Northern Mountain County without any news from you.”

”We thought you had arrived in the Royal Capital before us.”

”Unexpectedly, when we reached the Royal Capital, there still was no news of you.”

Third Elder’s face was full of confusion.

Xiao Yi smiled and said, ”After leaving Northern Mountain County, I traveled while gaining experience.”

”So it took quite some time.”

”Gaining experience?” Third Elder frowned.

”Yes.” Xiao Yi nodded and said, ”Killing demon beasts, occasionally refining some medicine.”

He wasn’t lying; he actually had been killing demon beasts and refining medicine.

However, that was under the identity of Yi Xiao.

Third Elder said with annoyance, ”Killing demon beasts can train your practical combat skills.”

”Refining medicine can hone your alchemy skills.”

”However, after joining the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to gain experience.”

”Tomorrow is the founding day of the Sword Sect.”

”Luckily, you made it in time.”

Xiao Yi forced a laugh and did not explain further.

At this moment, Ye Ming spoke, ”Junior Brother Xiao Yi.”

”You always go about alone and miss many opportunities.”

”You didn’t participate in the last alchemy contest in Northern Mountain County.”

”Otherwise, with your skills, you would have shone brilliantly in the final.”

”The rewards for this competition in Medicine King Valley are very generous.”

Third Elder also said sternly, ”Xiao Yi, you should learn from your Senior Brother Ye Ming in this regard.”

”You always like going about alone.”

”But, you need to have a sense of proportion.”

”Like this big alchemy competition.”

”Alchemy talents from various counties participated.”

”Ye Ming almost dominated the competition and even ended up in fifth place.”

”And you?”

”Not participating is one thing, but attending to broaden your horizons would have been good too.”

Third Elder was lecturing.

He wasn’t putting Xiao Yi down.

He just wanted Xiao Yi to seize every opportunity.

And not always miss out.

Xiao Yi touched his nose awkwardly and remained silent.

Beside him, Ye Ming said with a smile, ”Junior Brother Xiao Yi, don’t feel bad.”

”Just seize the opportunities in the future.”

With that, Ye Ming took out a Qiankun Bag and said, ”Here, this is the treasure I obtained from the big alchemy competition.”

”It contains many rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that you can’t find in Northern Mountain County.”

”These items are useless to me.”

”Take them, Junior Brother Xiao Yi.”

Xiao Yi feigned surprise on his face.

Then, smiling, he waved his hands and said, ”No need.”

”I also obtained quite a few good items during my time away.”

”Senior Brother Ye Ming needs to cultivate too, better keep it yourself.”

Ye Ming smiled and said, ”Everything should be put to its best use.”

”I believe these rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.”

”Will be more effective in the hands of Junior Brother Xiao Yi.”

Xiao Yi hurriedly declined, indicating he didn’t need them.

The treasures he had obtained in the Medicine Tower were already plentiful.

Rather, the treasures Ye Ming had acquired were precious to him.

But for Xiao Yi, their usefulness was indeed limited.

It was better for Ye Ming to keep them for supplementary cultivation and refining.

”Well...” Ye Ming hesitated.

But seeing Xiao Yi really didn’t want them.

He said, ”In that case, Junior Brother Xiao Yi, if you ever need them, just ask me.”

”Okay.” Xiao Yi nodded.

...

After dinner, the group conversed for a while.

Then, everyone retired to their own rooms.

Of course, since Xiao Yi had just arrived tonight.

He needed an attendant to prepare a room.

...

In the deep of the night, all was quiet.

Xiao Yi was meditating in a seated position.

Suddenly, a series of knocks resonated from outside the room.

”Xiao Yi, are you asleep?”

It was Third Elder’s voice.

”Not yet, Third Elder please come in.” Xiao Yi stopped his cultivation.

The door opened.

But, outside the room, there were two people.

One was Third Elder, the other, surprisingly, was the Great Elder.

”Great Elder? What are you doing here?” Xiao Yi was startled.

He remembered that the Great Elder had not come to the Royal Capital with Third Elder and disciples like Ye Ming.

Third Elder explained for a while.

It turned out that Third Elder had rushed all the way to the Royal Capital.

And had always been without news of his own.

To be cautious, seven days ago, the Third Elder had sent a message back to the Sky-splitting Sword Sect in Northern Mountain County.

The Great Elder, anxious, had naturally hurried over day and night.

It was only tonight that he appeared in front of the Third Elder and others.

The Third Elder had not even had time to send another message back to tell the Great Elder not to worry.

Just as he had shown up,

the Great Elder arrived in the Royal Capital right on his heels.

”The Great Elder arrived just in time.”

”I just happen to have something to ask.”

Xiao Yi said.

”Let’s talk inside,” the Great Elder said with a smile, walking into the room.

The Third Elder turned and left.

He was to lead his disciples into the Sword Sect tomorrow.

He still had much to prepare in advance.

Inside the room, the two sat down.

The Great Elder smiled and asked, ”What do you want to ask me?”

Xiao Yi frowned, ”The Great Elder had said previously that Elder Yi was in the Royal Capital.”

”But I can’t find anything...”

Xiao Yi had not yet finished speaking.

The Great Elder’s expression abruptly changed, interrupting, ”What? You actually went to inquire about Shiyi’s news?”

”You...”

”I told you before, Shiyi has many enemies in the Royal Capital.”

”If someone with intentions finds out that someone is inquiring about him and traces it back to you.”

”You will draw fire to yourself, the consequences are unimaginable.”

Xiao Yi shook his head and said, ”Don’t worry about it, Great Elder.”

”No one can trace it back to me.”

”Just, please tell me, Great Elder.”

”Why can I neither trace Elder Yi’s whereabouts.”

”Nor even find evidence of Elder Yi’s existence?”

”As I know, Elder Yi had quite a reputation in the Royal Capital back then.”

”It makes no sense for such a renowned Martial Artist.”

”To suddenly have no information available, as if...”

”As if what?” the Great Elder asked, his aged eyes emitting a sharp aura, staring intently at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi looked straight into these eyes, earnestly asked, ”As if...”

”All news about Elder Yi has been covered up, perhaps even erased.”

Xiao Yi’s voice inexplicably became slightly agitated.

The Great Elder said gravely, ”You are smart, and you guessed correctly.”

”However, knowing these things, there is no benefit to you.”

”Promise me, once you enter the Sword Sect, do not mention your relationship with Shiyi.”

The Thirty-six Sword Masters, upon entering the Sword Sect, would all receive the attention of the high ranks of the sect.

They could freely become disciples under any elder, gaining access to abundant cultivation resources.

But, before that.

The elder would inquire about the Sword Master’s mentors or Martial Arts instructors during their time in the Sword Sect.

Each elder has different expertise in Martial Arts Knowledge, so they will naturally ask clearly.

Moreover, aside from the Northern Mountain County.

The elders of the Sword Sects from various counties were mostly disciples of the Sword Sect in their youth.

The Sword Masters just need to disclose their name, and the Sword Sect’s elders would more or less already know.

”It’s not possible.” Xiao Yi shook his head earnestly.

”If not asked, I will not mention it.”

”If asked, I must tell.”

It wasn’t Xiao Yi being pretentious.

It was just that there are some things he was unwilling to do, and no one could force him.

The Sky-splitting Sword Sect may be a Martial Arts Holy Land.

But he wasn’t overly eager about it.

For Xiao Yi, he didn’t lack masters nor cultivation resources.

He only lacked time.

With sufficient time, he was confident he could rise on his own.

At worst, he would continue his role as a Demon Hunter, under the identity of Yi Xiao.

”You...” the Great Elder immediately became frustrated.

”I’m warning you, if someone learns about your relationship with Shiyi.”

”The consequences, you cannot bear.”

”Consequences?” Xiao Yi scoffed, ”Will I die?”

”Not to such an extent.” the Great Elder said gravely, ”The Ten-Percent Extreme Boundary Stele Sword Master, no one dares to kill you.”

”But, in the Royal Capital, you will hardly be able to move an inch.”

Xiao Yi said gravely, ”Even if I reveal my relationship with Elder Yi.”

”At most, being his disciple.”

”I would hardly be able to move an inch.”

”Then what about Elder Yi himself? It’s imaginable, the troubles he faced back then must have been a hundred times severe.”

The Great Elder shouted angrily, ”Shiyi, with his cultivation, nobody could do anything to him.”

”And you, just a talent who hasn’t grown up yet, what will you use to handle these troubles?”

The Great Elder spoke, suddenly his words sharply cut off.

”You brat, you’re trying to trick me into saying more.”

Xiao Yi frowned, intending to trick more words out.

But he hadn’t expected the Great Elder, sharp as he was, to have realized immediately.

”Although I’m trying to trick more information, the Great Elder very well knows, once I’ve made up my mind, I will not change it.”

Xiao Yi’s expression was utterly serious.
