Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 871: Chapter 868: Just Call Me Auntie

Xu Wendong was full of surprise: ”Sister Fan won, and I can get benefits from it?”

Xu Canghai asked with a smile: ”What else did you expect?”

”Senior Brother, stop keeping him in suspense,” Si Youyou said, ”In this bet, you played a decisive role, so all the benefits from Fanfan’s victory belong to you!”

Xu Canghai said: ”That’s right, Fanfan and I agreed that if she won, you could enter the Book Collection Pavilion to study any cultivation technique you liked. As long as you have the ability, you can cultivate all of them, and I have no objection!”

”Besides, you can also go to the Sword Pavilion and choose a weapon that suits you!”

Xu Wendong was unexpectedly moved to find that Xu Fan had secured such benefits for him.

He looked at Xu Canghai and asked, ”Can I choose more than one handy weapon at the Sword Pavilion?”

Xu Canghai was firm: ”That won’t do!”

Xu Wendong pouted; if not, then not. Why be so loud about it?

Si Youyou explained, ”Wendong, the Sword Pavilion has its rules. Only the core disciples of the Sword Pavilion can enter it once in their lifetime. Allowing you in has already caused Senior Brother to break the sect rules!”

Xu Wendong: ”Alright, then I’ll follow what Uncle Xu said and go to the Book Collection Pavilion to learn first!”

”I’ll take you there, and we can relax a bit along the way,” Si Youyou said, walking towards the cave entrance.

As Xu Wendong followed behind her, he could clearly smell the refreshing odor of sandalwood emanating from her, which calmed his mind and made him feel comfortable.

After thirty minutes.

Si Youyou brought Xu Wendong to the Book Collection Pavilion.

This was Si Youyou’s domain; she lived and cultivated here daily, so she was very familiar with it.

Si Youyou spoke in a gentle voice: ”Our Sword Pavilion has over three thousand types of swordsmanship, with thirty-six top-level sword techniques. If you want to learn swordsmanship, I can recommend some that are suitable for you, sparing you from many detours!”

Xu Wendong asked, ”Senior, is there any swordsmanship that combines offense and defense?”

He considered his attack to be strong,

but his defense was somewhat weaker.

It was for this reason that he wanted a swordsmanship that combined both offense and defense.

Si Youyou said, ”Since you’re Fanfan’s loved one, you might as well call me Aunt instead of Senior, which sounds too formal!”

Xu Wendong smiled and said, ”Alright, Aunt.”

Si Youyou beamed and then invited Xu Wendong to sit before the tea table. While making tea, she said, ”A sword is a weapon for killing!”

”Swordsmanship is the technique of killing!”

”Every kind of sword technique is meant for killing.”

”Once you draw your sword, it should be with an unstoppable momentum; only then can you cut down your opponent with your sword.”

”Either the enemy dies or I live.”

”And once you have the thought of defense, you’ve already lost half of your momentum.”

Xu Wendong: ”So there isn’t a sword technique that combines offense and defense?”

Si Youyou shrugged her fragrant shoulders with agreement: ”What you’re talking about is indeed a contradiction!” She placed a cup of orange-yellow tea in front of Xu Wendong as she spoke.

Looking at the tea in the cup, Xu Wendong said: ”Aunt, I don’t deny your understanding of swordsmanship, and I know I have no say in the perception of swordsmanship.”

”But just like the tea in this cup,”

”Water can carry a boat or capsize it!”

”Why can’t swordsmanship also achieve both?”

Si Youyou smiled and said, ”Swordsmanship might possibly achieve both, but no one has been able to do that step so far!”

Xu Wendong: ”In my humble opinion, a powerful sword technique should not only kill enemies but also have strong defense.”

”Yes, I agree that swordsmanship exists for killing.”

”But why kill?”

”The purpose of killing is to better protect oneself from harm.”

”So, a powerful sword technique shouldn’t just have an aggressive killing aura but also help its master avoid danger.”

Si Youyou showed an approving look: ”Fanfan told me before that you’re a unique little fellow. Meeting you today truly proves you’re extraordinary.”

”Your attitude towards swordsmanship alone shows your far-sighted perspective.”

”Perhaps you could try to create a sword technique that combines offense and defense.”

Xu Wendong wanted to cry but couldn’t: ”Aunt, you really think highly of me. I don’t even understand swordsmanship, and you encourage me to try creating one that combines offense and defense? I’m fully aware of my own capabilities.”

In truth, with his current cultivation level, he is entirely qualified to create a sword technique of his own.

After all, every sword technique was created by someone.

But he doesn’t understand swordsmanship at all.

So, asking someone who doesn’t understand swordsmanship to create one is really speaking like a lunatic!

Si Youyou didn’t mind and said: ”Sometimes, knowing too much isn’t good; the less you know, the fewer thoughts will distract you!”

”Try it; our Sword Pavilion’s Heart-Questioning Tea isn’t something just anyone can taste.” She elegantly picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and her face reflected a look of satisfaction and ease.

Xu Wendong also picked up the tea cup before him, and immediately a indescribable fragrance enveloped him. The tea was sweet on the tongue, leaving a fragrant aftertaste.

Soon he felt a cool sensation in his Sea of Consciousness, as if his inner self suddenly quieted down, free from many desires and thoughts.

He could only enjoy the peace of the moment.

”Good tea!” Xu Wendong smacked his lips, ”But I don’t like it.”

Si Youyou: ”That’s yet another contradictory response.”

Xu Wendong chuckled: ”People shouldn’t live too comfortably; only by keeping one’s spirit tense can one’s limits be broken.”

Si Youyou added, ”But that would be very exhausting!”

Xu Wendong grinned widely: ”Comfort is for the dead!”

Si Youyou nodded thoughtfully, seemingly feeling that Xu Wendong made a lot of sense.

Then, with a thought, six Jade Slips appeared in her hand.

Two were white, two were yellow, one red, and one purple-black.

”The two white jade slips record over eighteen hundred basic sword techniques from our Sword Pavilion.”

”The two yellow ones hold more than twelve hundred intermediate sword techniques of the Sword Pavilion.”

”The red one documents over three hundred advanced sword techniques of the Sword Pavilion.”

”The purple-black jade slip contains the thirty-six top sword techniques of the Sword Pavilion.”

After a pause, Si Youyou seriously said: ”If you’re interested in swordsmanship, perhaps you can look through them in order. Remember, you only need to look, not cultivate them.”

Though Xu Wendong didn’t understand why Si Youyou said this, he picked up a white jade slip and let his Soul Force flow into it.

In an instant, countless sword techniques, like dense tadpoles, flooded into his Sea of Consciousness, making him feel like his head was about to explode.

Fortunately, his Dao Foundation had been polished, and he could withstand this level of pain. He closed his eyes to digest those sword techniques, appearing very calm.

This made Si Youyou look at Xu Wendong with newfound respect.

After all, not everyone can remain as composed as Xu Wendong.
