Chen Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief after Zuo You left without drawing his sword. He would be lying to himself if he said he wasn't nervous, and he hurriedly placed the chair and stools back inside the shop before sitting down on the door threshold, waiting for Ning Yao and Die Zhang to return.
Zuo You had come silently, but he hadn't concealed his sword qi on purpose when leaving.
Thus, more than half of the sword immortals at the Sword Qi Great Wall were most likely able to detect Zuo You's trip away from the city wall.
In any case, Zuo You's act of openly sitting at the entrance of the shop just then was a silent message in and of itself.
Before Zuo You's arrival at the shop, the old scholar had actually activated a mystical ability and created a barrier, allowing only those at the shop to detect his presence. He had then retracted this barrier following Zuo You's arrival.
Those in the scholarly lineage always worried about many things, but when they decided to act, they would always be extremely resolute. As a result, they would appear as unreasonable as could be.
When Ning Yao and Die Zhang returned, Chen Ping'an stood up and said with a smile, "Sorry for inconveniencing you, Miss Die Zhang. I had to host some guests here."
Die Zhang smiled. "I won't ask about the old mister's identity, but why did Great Sword Immortal Zuo voluntarily come over to drink wine with you? I need to ask about this, lest all of the items in my shop mysteriously disappear in the future. Who would I complain to at that time?"
"Zuo You is my senior brother, and the person sitting in the middle just then was our master, Majestic World's Scholarly Sage," Chen Ping'an revealed.
His background and identity wouldn't help him much at the Sword Qi Great Wall, as they would not help him avoid a single battle. He still had to fight those necessary battles, no matter what.
In any case, what Cui Dongshan had said was correct. He had won over his master and his senior brother through his own abilities, so there was no need to purposely keep their relationships hidden.
Die Zhang silently walked into the shop.
There was no way to continue this conversation.
Ning Yao sat beside Chen Ping'an on the door threshold and said in a soft voice, "Thankfully, the old great sword immortal was personally keeping an eye on the city wall just then, not allowing a single person to travel south for whatever reason. Otherwise, you would have faced immense danger in the next battle. The demon tribe has many schemes."
"Master and Senior Brother Zuo are both aware of this," Chen Ping'an reassured with a smile.
Ning Yao nodded and asked, "What are you planning to do next?"
"Cultivate in earnest, refine more Qi, strive to advance to the Abode Tier as soon as possible, perform advanced refinement on First and Fifteenth and transform them into bonded items, and temper my Vajra Body Tier at the same time," Chen Ping'an replied. "Things will be much easier in battle after I advance to the Far Roaming Tier. However, my last two goals are very difficult to achieve at the moment, and just focusing...
