Chapter 139: Grand Banquet in the Palace

  After swinging out a sword, Cang Ye saw that Qin Yuan was still there in a daze and didn't bother with him again. If he could really realize his mistake, then he would naturally come back to find him. But if he still insisted on his own way of the sword, then Cang Ye wouldn't need to bother with it anymore. Once someone has entered a state of confusion and is unwilling to turn back, even if they're a genius, what can be done?

  After flying into the city, along the route to the Prime Minister's mansion, he bought all the things that Yu Ling had liked in his memory one by one. He didn't buy them just now because he didn't have money on him. But now, it was because before leaving, he had already withdrawn a year's salary from the accounting house.

  After buying things, the time was no longer early. Under the puzzled gaze of several gatekeeper guards, Cang Ye returned to the Prime Minister's mansion and came to the room next door that belonged to him.

  As he walked up to the house, he pushed open the old wooden door and stepped inside. The moment he entered, he saw Yu Ling practicing her cultivation. He gazed at this beautiful woman who was fully immersed in her practice. Cang Ye didn't wake her but quietly placed the things he bought beside Yu Ling. Then he gently watched over this childhood friend whom he had waited for ten years.

  Silent love is not exclusive to angels...

  She took one last look at the serene Yu Ling, and smiled warmly. Cang Ye gently closed the door.

  The next morning. After breakfast, Cang Ye arrived at the school in the mansion. There, he would begin his first lesson of his life in a different world.

  Pushing open the purple sandalwood door, Cang Ye stepped across the threshold. He looked at the dozen or so disciples sitting in the school, waiting for his arrival. Cang Ye nodded slightly.

  Although he was brought to teach Jun Qianyu, the Prime Minister's mansion did not have only one young lady who needed to be taught. Many children of servants and attendants who had worked in the mansion for many years could also get a chance to learn here. This was also a special treatment that could only be enjoyed in the Prime Minister's mansion.

  Qianyu, sitting in the front row, saw Cangye walk in. He was the first to stand up and took the lead in asking how he was doing, before sitting back down again. These were all necessary etiquette in this world. Cangye nodded slightly in response. Then began this lesson.

  Although it was just an ordinary lesson, for Jun Qianyu, it was like a dream come true. She couldn't believe that this talented young man also had such excellent potential in teaching and educating others.

  The first lesson, Cang Ye didn't directly teach how to write poetry or compose lyrics. Instead, he started from the essence of poetry. In this world, people who study poetry and songs only focus on the beauty of rhythm, but they don't understand the meaning of poetry itself at all.

  So, in order to get these people to write some soulful, genuine poetry, Cang Ye started lecturing them directly on the essence of poetry.

  After one lesson, or their writing level has not improved. However, their understanding of poetry has already surpassed that of the past. If they can write another poem at this time, it will no longer be a hollow sentence with only language feeling but no content.

  "I really didn't expect Mr. Cang's talent to be astonishing not only in poetry, but also in teaching and educating people, now he can even be called a great master."

  On the way back, Jun Qianyu, who had been chasing after him, said with a hint of admiration in front of Cang Ye.

  Just a slight smile. In the original world, teaching methods had become a subject of study. And Cang Ye had been a teacher after all, although it was martial arts, but also counted as having some educational experience, plus learning from a perfect educational system. So, being able to teach students in this world was not difficult at all.

  Looking at Jun Qianyu who was constantly praising him on the side, Cang Ye stopped. Silently looking at the slightly awkward girl in front of him.

  "Miss, is there something I can help you with?"

  When Jun Qianyu heard Cang Ye's words, her face turned slightly red. She was so nice to Cang Ye that there were indeed some things that needed to be troubling him. However, such things were not easy to say. If it were someone else, they would definitely be overjoyed at her request, but for the talented and glorious Mr. Cang in front of her, her request seemed a bit difficult to express.

  "Mr. Cang, I don't know where Miss Yueling went. Why haven't we seen her all this time?"

  No explanation was given, but rather some unrelated questions were asked. Cang Ye was slightly stunned. I don't know how it's related to Yu Ling, who is currently cultivating in the room. Perhaps it's due to the stimulation of Cang Ye's invincible strength. Recently, Yu Ling's cultivation has become more diligent, and her progress has been rapidly increasing. After coming here, perhaps due to a relaxed state of mind, there are signs of a breakthrough. So, she stayed in the room to cultivate. Of course, these words cannot be said to Jun Qianyu. However, he still organized his thoughts and answered the previous question.

  "Ling'er has been feeling a bit unwell lately and is resting at home."

  Hearing Yu Ling's body was somewhat unwell. Jun Qianyu's expression seemed to have some concern, and also some relaxation that Cang Ye couldn't understand.

  "How serious is Miss Yu Ling's illness? The Prime Minister's residence has several doctors with exceptional medical skills, should I have them go and diagnose her?"

  In this world, warriors refer to doctors as pharmacists. Because they want to cure the physical injuries of warriors, most of them rely on medication for treatment. As for ordinary people, they are called doctors, and those doctors who treat ordinary people do not need to use any precious or rare medicines at all. General illnesses can be cured with just a little infusion of spiritual energy.

  "There's no need, she has already fallen asleep. I hope others won't disturb her."

  Yuling was at a critical juncture of breaking through, so Cangye didn't watch from the side. It was because he had already set up a perceptual boundary in Yuling's room. As long as someone touched the boundary, Cangye could tear through space and return to Yuling's room at any time. This was also the reason why he felt at ease.

  "Miss, what's wrong with you? If you don't say it, I'll leave."

  Although there was a barrier of protection, Cang Ye still liked to personally guard the place. Therefore, towards Jun Qian Yu's reluctance to explain his intentions, Cang Ye felt a bit impatient.

  "Wait, it's like this, Mr. Cang. Tonight, the Empire will be holding a gathering, and all the high-ranking officials of the Empire will be attending. If I were to attend, there are some reasons why I couldn't go alone, it would be better if I had a male companion. However..."

  He didn't want to continue talking. Cang Ye also knew that there must be some unspoken difficulties, but what did this have to do with him? Being someone else's companion and wasting his time? He wasn't bored enough for that.

  Shook his head, didn't even want to talk. Directly bypassing Jun Qianyu's body, he walked towards the room.

  Seeing Cang Ye's attitude, Jun Qian Yu stomped her foot. Those annoying flies were all useless, and she could take care of one with a single move. But she didn't dare to reveal her cultivation! As for the person who called her to accompany him, that was even more out of the question!

  Seeing Cang Ye's back, she really wanted to go up and bite him. What a arrogant teacher! This is in her home! However, thinking of the Qi Quan that was inadvertently revealed earlier, she had to endure it.

  Who called themselves stupid, others obviously didn't ask but still want to say everything out loud, now even if you have a princess temper, you can't throw a tantrum.

  Facing the back of the dark cloud, she clenched her fists fiercely. If it weren't for the fact that you're a weak and bookish person, I would have made you understand what human fists are used for!

  Jun Qianyu didn't know that all her actions were under Cang Ye's eyes. Watching this girl's lovely movements, a hint of a relaxed smile hung on the corner of Cang Ye's mouth. However, he still didn't want to attend any evening parties and the like. He hadn't liked them in his past life, and naturally wouldn't change now.

  Just as Jun Qianyu was about to catch up, there was suddenly an extra person in the backyard.

  Looking at this figure, Jun Qianyu was slightly stunned, but then seemed to have misunderstood something. He directly ran up and stood between Cang Ye and the figure.

  "Qin Quan, how did you suddenly appear? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Although it seemed like a question, her hands had already grabbed Qin Quan's sleeve and were pulling him back.

  Qin Quan smiled slightly at Jun Qianyu beside him.

  At this time, Cang Ye discovered that those who didn't like to laugh, sometimes laughed and it was really warm.

  He gently released Jun Qianyu's arm and walked over in the direction of Cang Ye, without noticing the anxious expression on his companion's face.

  Looking back at the dark night, he still hasn't left this place. With the same calm expression, they stared at each other. Just when Jun Qianyu thought a conflict was about to erupt, Qin Quan suddenly knelt down!

  After witnessing this scene, Jun Qianyu was bewildered and shocked. No one understood the character of the man kneeling on the ground better than her. If there wasn't some great kindness or reason that made him sincerely kneel down, this man would absolutely never lower his knees to anyone! Even if the other party used unparalleled martial power to coerce him, it would be impossible to make him kneel like this!

  "Qin Quan, what's wrong with you?"

  After calming down a bit, she asked hesitantly: Was this scene real or not?

  At this time, the Qinquan who had always doted on her did not respond, but still looked at Cangye with a serious face. Finally, after a long silence, Qinquan said something that made Junqianyu even more puzzled.

  "Great kindness and virtue from the teacher, Qinquan will always remember in heart."

  A casual wave of the hand. These dark nights were never really on his mind anyway.

  "I also beg of you, sir, to take me in as your disciple! Qián Yuàn will spend his entire life following your orders! I dare not disobey!"

  When she heard this sentence, Jun Qianyu was stunned on the spot. With a complex expression, she stared at this young figure, as if it were a terrifying person she had never seen before!

  "Take you in as one of us?"

  Hearing Cang Ye's counter-question, Qin Quan knocked his head, but instead dodged past Cang Ye.

  "Is Mr. Cang unwilling? I know that the former me was too arrogant and couldn't see my own strength clearly. However, after being enlightened by you, sir, I swear that I will never be like that again!"

  His expression was slightly anxious. Having finally found a swordsman he could truly admire, how could he give up like this?

  Shook his head again.

  The dark night said with a hint of warmth.

  "I'm just a disciple now, I don't have the right to accept disciples. If you want to become an apprentice, I can introduce you to a senior who has helped me in the past. Under him, you will come into contact with the strongest swordsmanship that you may not encounter in your lifetime! I wonder, are you willing?"

  When Cang Ye finished speaking, Qin Quan fell silent.

  The scene was a bit chilly for a while. Fortunately, Jun Qianyu had all the servants withdrawn in order to make his request to Cang Ye, otherwise the situation here would have been spread out.

  At last, after a long silence, Jinquan raised his head.

  "May I ask, sir, is that senior's swordsmanship superior to yours?"

  A faint smile at this moment, the dark night gives people an absolute sense of trust.

  "My swordsmanship improved dramatically after receiving guidance from that senior!"

  Although Cang Ye practiced the Destroying Sword, and mostly relied on his own comprehension. However, after receiving guidance from the Heaven-Defying Sword Emperor at that time, his swordsmanship had made significant progress, which was an undisputed fact. Even now, in terms of understanding and insight into the sword, he has surpassed the Heaven-Defying Sword Emperor, but that senior is still an invincible swordsman who vows to defeat all people under heaven in his heart!

  "Sir, whoever you recommend, as long as they can guide my sword, I am willing to become their apprentice!"

  Upon hearing Qin Quan's words, Cang Ye nodded his head in satisfaction. At Qin Quan's age, having such cultivation was indeed impressive and could be considered a good talent. However, in Cang Ye's eyes, it wasn't anything special. Those with even stronger innate abilities probably wouldn't have the qualifications to become a disciple of the Sword Emperor. The only thing he had that others didn't was the sword!

  Only the sword is the most persistent pursuit of Du Tianjian's life. So, what he wants is not a talented and terrifying disciple, but a true disciple who can become a sword! Such a person is even harder to find than those geniuses. When Cang Ye agreed to help Du Tianjian find a successor, he was also prepared for the long-term plan. But he didn't expect that this trip would bring such an unexpected harvest.

  "You don't have to kneel down to me anymore. That senior has a great favor on me, if you worship under his door, then I can also be considered as fulfilling a wish."
