Chapter 123 – If I Could Also Become a Disciple of the Sword God, Wouldn't I Be Able to Take Revenge?

“So that’s how it is!”

In the private room, Li Qinghe suddenly understood everything. Recalling the earlier incidents at the martial arts hall, she realized all the pieces fell into place!

No wonder that Qin guy could laze around every day.

Yet still possess terrifying Array Formation mastery.

No wonder she never saw him practice swordsmanship, yet he could far surpass Zixuan-mei’s abilities.

So this Qin fellow…

Was actually Sword God’s Senior Disciple!

“This truth is too explosive!”

Thinking this, Li Qinghe’s heart pounded wildly. She suddenly noticed her hands trembling with excitement upon learning the truth, quickly gulping down the iced coffee on the table to calm herself.

“Sister Qinghe, you mustn’t speak carelessly or spread this around.”

Li Zixuan shook her head at her excited state, sighing: “If this gets out, it will truly cause trouble. It won’t be good for either of us.”

That she could deduce the truth didn’t surprise Li Zixuan.

After all, Jianghai City wasn’t exactly small, but not particularly large either. The top experts coming and going were actually quite few.

With just a bit of deduction, one could trace the clues.

Coupled with Li Qinghe’s sharp mind, figuring these things out was only a matter of time.

“If only I could also become Lord Sword God’s disciple.”

In the private room, Li Qinghe sighed wistfully, pulling out her phone from her pocket. She opened an online forum and entered a fan group dedicated to Jianghai Sword God.

Currently online, Sword God’s fame spread far and wide, dominating hot search headlines.

Creating Sword Valley, Thousand-Mile Flying Sword, defeating Sword Saint with a clone…

As a Jianghai native, Li Qinghe naturally knew all about his deeds clearly, even joining a fan discussion group.

Just for the chance to meet her idol someday.

If she could successfully become his disciple, her future achievements would definitely be limitless!

“Moreover, judging from Qin Yang’s absurd Array Formation mastery, Sword God’s proficiency must be extraordinary too.”

Recalling Qin Yang’s methods of breaking formations, Li Qinghe’s eyes lit up, suddenly having a bold idea.

“If…”

“This young lady becomes Sword God’s disciple, wouldn’t I be able to pursue the great path of Array Formation without relying on the Myriad Formation Diagram?”

“By then, all family constraints would vanish into thin air. This young lady could directly go independent, with boundless opportunities!”

With this thought.

Li Qinghe’s spirits soared. She quickly leaned across the table, shaking Li Zixuan’s shoulders excitedly:

“Zixuan, tell me quickly! Where is Sword God Senior now?”

“I need to see him, please!”

“……”

Li Zixuan felt dizzy from the shaking, standing up while waving her hands: “I don’t know where master is either, Sister Qinghe. Look at my earlobes,”

She pinched her earlobes, demonstrating: “They haven’t turned red. I’m not lying to you.”

Seeing this.

Li Qinghe immediately felt somewhat dejected, sitting back in her seat: “Then did the senior say anything to you? Who should we contact when he’s not around?”

Becoming Sword God’s disciple now represented her only hope of escaping Qin Yang.

By directly becoming his disciple and Qin Yang’s shimei, wouldn’t she at least elevate her seniority?

Having to call Zixuan-mei ‘Martial Aunt’ would be too embarrassing!

“Well…”Li Zixuan hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, speaking with some uncertainty: “My master is like a carefree cloud and wild crane—he rarely stays by my side, and I haven’t seen him for a long time.”

Shaking her head, she continued, “Right now, my master’s main intention is for me to learn from Senior Brother Qin and diligently follow him in cultivation.”

“Learn from that guy Qin?”

Li Qinghe instantly became sullen upon hearing this, slumping over the table. “What’s there to learn from him? Sleeping all day?”

“Ah, you don’t understand, Sister Qinghe! This is called enlightenment! Even with just a single bowl of food and a scoop of water, one can achieve enlightenment!”

Li Zixuan retorted, recalling Qin Yang’s words from last time and deeply agreeing with them: “Senior Brother’s actions are profound and unpredictable—ordinary people can hardly comprehend them!”

“……”

Li Qinghe fell silent upon hearing this, watching her cousin’s sparkling eyes.

This silly girl…

She’s really been completely fooled by Qin Yang.

Completely fallen into his trap!

Sigh!

Li Qinghe sighed, then asked again: “Then Qin Yang should know where the Sword God went, right?”

“Well…”

Li Zixuan hesitated before responding, “I’m not sure about that either. Senior Brother never told me…”

“Alright, I understand.”

Li Qinghe pushed herself up from the table and looked out the window. “It seems I still need to return to the library.”

She had originally planned to run away, but unexpectedly, she had obtained such explosive news from Zixuan-mei.

Now all clues point to Qin Yang.

No matter what, she must return to the library and extract some information from him!

…

Time passed.

The sun set in the west, casting long shadows of people on the streets.

At the entrance of Jianghai Library, several squads of armed personnel from the Star Martial Police Department stood guard on both sides, holding shotguns loaded with full magazines, waiting for all library personnel to disperse.

“Everyone leave, all of you should leave now.”

The Manager stood by the revolving door, dismissing employees one by while instructing each of them: “That’s all for today. We’re closing early today, which means you’ll need to come in early tomorrow.”

“Yes.”

The employees passing by the entrance nodded and filed out one after another.

Qin Yang, holding Xiaobai in his arms and twirling his commute card in his hand, leisurely walked out of the library and headed straight home.

It was still early.

After the library closed early, the building was left to the Police Inspector’s team for another thorough screening.

Of course.

This had little to do with an old slacker employee like him.

After returning home from the library, Qin Yang directly turned on the television, lay back on the soft sofa, and drank some happy water to pass the time.

In the kitchen.

Xiaobai put on her apron, tail raised, and began skillfully preparing dinner.

Outside the window, the setting sun cast golden light, creating silhouettes.

The clatter of pots and pans, the mundane rhythm of daily life, and the faint chatter from the television—Qin Yang leaned against the sofa, closed his eyes, and contemplated the Law Fragments.

Within the Enlightenment Space.

Three Law Fragments floated and interacted, producing mysterious reactions.

The vegetation essence emitted endless vitality, while the surging thunder subtly contained extremely terrifying destructive power.

One creating life, one destroying it—these two opposing Law Fragments should naturally repel and damage each other. Yet, neutralized by the “Array Core,” they formed a delicate balance.

“Not bad, not bad.”

Qin Yang was quite satisfied, sitting cross-legged on the sofa as he carefully contemplated the Law Fragments.

Gradually.

Time slipped away unnoticed.

Qin Yang’s breathing was light and gentle, his exhalations like a spring breeze, accompanied by the resonant hum of thunder.At the same time.

Above the residential buildings in the neighborhood.

On this day, the sky was painted with fiery clouds, while hidden thunder rumbled, releasing a continuous drizzle and mist. The green spaces between the buildings sprouted with new growth, and spring grass began to emerge.

Qin Yang sat in the center of the room, as if merging with the heavens and the earth.

His exhalations turned into rain, his utterances formed thunder.

“Ah, it’s raining! Master!”

The room grew damp, and Xiaobai, bustling about, set down the spatula and hurried out to the balcony to collect the laundry, chasing after the gentle passage of time.
