Chapter 122 – Li Qinghe: What? Qin Yang Is Actually a Disciple of the Sword God?

Inside the private room, Li Qinghe watched Li Zixuan’s astonished expression, finding this answer utterly unbelievable.

“Telling me not to provoke him?”

It was one thing for Qin Yang to be exceptionally talented and knowledgeable about Array Formations…

But he was also a Sword Dao genius!?

Absurd!

To split his focus and yet achieve great accomplishments in both fields…

Wasn’t this simply too outrageous?

“Truly a monster.”

Li Qinghe rubbed her temples, trying to ease the shock from this information.

Had this come from anyone else, she would never have believed it.

But hearing it from Li Zixuan…

That changed everything completely.

Li Qinghe lifted her gaze to her cousin sipping coffee across from her, recalling the family’s assessment of her.

The most gifted talent in centuries, the hope destined to revive the entire Li Family and restore it to its peak.

In terms of innate ability,

Even Elder Li, the Sword Dao master of Jianghai, praised her endlessly. And if even she, a Sword Dao prodigy herself, held Qin Yang in such high regard…

That sufficiently demonstrated how terrifying that Qin fellow’s Sword Dao attainments must be!

Wait…

Just then,

Li Qinghe frowned, suddenly thinking of a question.

“Zi Xuan, isn’t your teacher Elder Li, the dean of Jianghai Academy?”

Li Qinghe looked at Li Zixuan, suddenly remembering the scene when Elder Li took her as his disciple.

The entire city knew about it – an unprecedented grand occasion.

After all,

Elder Li held an authoritative position in Jianghai City where his word was law. Having made a public declaration to the world, he naturally couldn’t take it back.

At this moment, Li Zixuan’s master should be Elder Li.

“He clearly stated he would only accept you as his sole disciple, never taking another in this lifetime… Could it be you’ve switched masters?”

Li Qinghe tapped the table, also recalling Qin Yang’s personality.

Spending days either lazing around or slacking off among bookshelves…

Far from meeting Elder Li’s standards for taking disciples.

The vibe was all wrong!

Their personalities were completely incompatible. No matter how talented Qin Yang was, Elder Li would never accept someone he didn’t like as a disciple.

“I…”

Hearing this, Li Zixuan showed hesitation, naturally understanding what Li Qinghe meant.

She pondered for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.

Neither nodding nor shaking her head – in a way, this was equivalent to tacitly confirming these words.

“So that’s how it is?”

Li Qinghe frowned.

“Sister Qinghe, you mustn’t make wild guesses or spread rumors.”

Seeing her contemplative expression, Li Zixuan spoke anxiously, “It could lead to trouble.”

Firstly, she worried her master’s identity would be exposed and disturb his peace.

Secondly, careless words could bring disaster, and she feared for Li Qinghe’s personal safety.

If her master found out, what might happen?

If he were truly angered, the consequences would be unimaginable!

A single flying sword could pursue across thousands of miles to eliminate Li Qinghe – even if all Li Family members stood blocking the way, it wouldn’t be enough to stop the slaughter.

The entire clan could be overthrown overnight.

This was no joking matter!

“Of course, rest assured Zi Xuan. Your sister understands the situation, and I’ve always been on your side.”

Hearing this, Li Qinghe raised her hand and activated an Array Formation, releasing Star Power.

The next moment,

Humming—

From the four corners of the private room, beside the potted plants, pale golden molten light glowed as several Starstones floated up, demarcating a concealed space.Within the array, silence reigned, sealing off any possibility of information leakage.

“Don’t worry, Zi Xuan. With this soundproofing array active, only you and I will know about our conversation today.”

Li Qinghe held Li Zixuan’s small hand, softly reassuring her: “No matter what happens, your sister will always stand on your side.”

“Mm.”

Hearing this, Li Zixuan nodded gently.

The two sisters had grown up together since childhood, knowing each other inside out, remaining inseparable even during school days.

Although Li Qinghe could sometimes be willful and capricious, her nature wasn’t bad – she just had a rebellious personality and despised the clan’s pedantic rules.

If the entire family were to ever turn against her, Li Qinghe would even abandon everything to stand by her side.

“But Zi Xuan, there’s one question I’ve always been curious about.”

Li Qinghe raised her eyes, looking at Li Zixuan as she whispered: “…Just who is yours and Qin Yang’s teacher?”

Whoever could teach these two supreme geniuses must be extraordinary.

One was a sword dao genius unseen in centuries, while the other was a naturally gifted slacker… What kind of terrifying existence must their teacher be?

Just thinking about this.

Made Li Qinghe’s heart itch with curiosity.

Since both Qin Yang and Li Zixuan could become his disciples.

And this young lady’s formation dao talent isn’t bad either… Couldn’t she try to get a spot too?

Even as an outer sect disciple, it would surely be better than becoming Qin Yang’s disciple… and having to call Zi Xuan-mei “Martial Aunt”!

“No!”

Li Zixuan slightly furrowed her brows upon hearing this, refusing without hesitation: “Absolutely not, Sister Qinghe! Regarding this matter, I cannot agree!

I previously promised my teacher that I would never reveal his identity.”

Outside the window, white clouds drifted leisurely.

Li Zixuan turned to look outside, avoiding any eye contact with Li Qinghe to demonstrate her resolve.

“Not even your own cousin?”

Li Qinghe was taken aback, pressing with assurance: “Your sister will definitely keep it secret for you!”

“No, no…”

Li Zixuan shook her head vigorously, like a rattle-drum, her ponytail swaying gently behind her.

Hearing this.

Li Qinghe fell silent, ceasing her questioning.

Now that Li Zixuan had become stubborn, there was no way she would relent, and continued questioning would be futile.

“If you won’t tell me…

Then let me guess. In Jianghai, the person capable of making you, Jianghai’s number one genius, change masters… Such a figure…”

Li Qinghe placed her arms on the table, propping up her head as she counted on her fingers to reason:

“First, the Library Curator must be ruled out.

Being my father, although he’s a fifth-level array diagram master, his sword dao talent is far inferior to Zi Xuan-mei’s.

The Martial Arts Academy’s Elder Li should also be excluded.

Elder Li is too old, already being Li Zixuan’s teacher, he definitely wouldn’t take Qin Yang as a disciple too. Plus, Elder Li specializes in sword dao and has even less comprehension in diagram creation.”

As for the Star Martial Police Department’s Commander…

This one is constantly busy dealing with star beasts and demonkin, having neglected realm cultivation.

Thinking this.

Li Qinghe’s thoughts wandered, when suddenly her eyes widened as a figure flashed through her mind.

“Jianghai Sword God?!”

After several rounds of elimination, only this answer fit the truth most closely!

“Zi Xuan, could your teacher… be Sword God Senior?”

Li Qinghe asked in astonishment, staring at Li Zixuan’s face, her pupils shaking with shock.Nowadays, the name of the Jianghai Sword God resounds like thunder across the internet, known to all. Every young person in Jianghai City regards him as their idol!

“…”

Hearing this, Li Zixuan’s expression shifted slightly. She then lowered her head and continued to remain silent.

“???”

Seeing her reaction, Li Qinghe grew even more convinced of her speculation!

That’s right!

It’s exactly as I thought!

But just as she was feeling overjoyed—

The earlier scene of Li Zixuan calling Qin Yang “Senior Brother” flashed through Li Qinghe’s mind, making her heart skip a beat—

“So Qin Yang… is actually a disciple of Sword God Senior?!”
