Chapter 36 Sword Manual
Lang Taiyi, the dean of Qingfeng Martial Arts Academy, is only fifty-four years old. He is a top fourth-rate master and a rare genius that is hard to come by in a million years. He is no less talented than the historical legend Chen Yi. His Taiyi swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world and is known as the half-step sword god realm. Since he took charge of Qingfeng Martial Arts Academy, he has trained more than a dozen world-famous masters. He has a very high prestige and is deeply trusted by the empire. He has been awarded the supreme honor of "the mainstay of the empire."
Normally, the dragon is hard to be seen. It will only appear in extremely special circumstances, otherwise it will not be seen at all. Even the high-end and scary reception ten years ago has never appeared!
But now, he showed up in person to entertain Shangguan Yu and others. You can imagine how important these people are!
The funny thing is that when they first met, he looked down on them and even let his apprentice compete with them in a mountain climbing competition. When they visited the academy's martial arts training ground, he even had a sparring match with them and made things difficult for them!
The more Mu Chen thought about it, the more sweat he got on his forehead!
"Hello, Dean!" Shangguan Yu saluted respectfully. Lang Taiyi's name was too famous, and everyone in the entire Chinese Empire knew him!
"Hello, Dean Shangguan!" Lang Taiyi smiled and said, "We are not outsiders, so there's no need to be polite!" Then he looked at Chen Luo, smiled, and nodded to him.
It’s not that he didn’t want to say hello to Chen Luo, but Chen Luo’s identity was too special, so special that he couldn’t speak casually, for fear of being exposed and causing unnecessary trouble. Chen Luo naturally saw Lang Taiyi’s nod of greeting, and responded with a nod and smile!
Afterwards, Lang Taiyi looked at Qingsi and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years. Qingsi has grown into a big girl!"
"Uncle Lang!" Qingsi walked forward, bowed and saluted with great respect: "Uncle always talks about you!"
"He must be craving for my wine again!" Lang Taiyi laughed when he heard it, and then made a gesture of invitation: "Don't stand, take a seat!"
Afterwards, Shangguan Yu took his seat and Lang Taiyi looked at Mu Chen: "Teacher Mu, come and see if the chef's dish is ready!"
"Yes, Dean!" Mu Chen replied with a bow, turned around and left the room.
The dinner for Shangguan Yu and his companions was extremely sumptuous, with shark fins, bird's nests, birds and beasts filling the entire table, a total of fifty-nine delicious dishes. Lang Taiyi also took out the daughter's red wine that he had treasured for decades to entertain the guests.
After three rounds of drinking, Lang Taiyi smiled and asked, "Among these three young talents, which one is Shen Lang?"
"I am Shen Lang!" Upon hearing this, Shen Lang quickly stood up.
"There's no need for so much formality since we're not here. Just sit down!" Lang Taiyi waved his hand to let Shen Lang sit down, and continued, "I heard from Teacher Mu that you took them to the entrance of the academy in just half an hour, breaking the academy record. You're really a young man to be feared!"
"It's just a trifle, not worth mentioning!" Shen Lang was humble for once.
"You are so humble at such a young age. Not bad, not bad!" Lang Taiyi smiled and gave a rare compliment.
"You haven't seen how he usually behaves. He's not humble at all. This is happening in front of you!" Qingsi sat next to Lang Taiyi, drank a few glasses of girl's red wine, and her pretty face blushed slightly.
"Oh?" Lang Taiyi looked at Qingsi and said with a smile, "So, you two have spent quite a lot of time together?"
"Oh, uncle, please stop making fun of me!" Qingsi's face turned even redder. She didn't expect that her unintentional words would allow Uncle Lang to know so much information.
Shangguan Yu smiled secretly when she heard this, Chang Rumo covered his mouth and laughed, Mingyue didn't care at all and laughed out loud, Chen Buyong poked Shen Lang's thigh under the table, and Chen Luo raised his glass: "Brother Lang, a toast to you!"
This made Shen Lang feel awkward. He didn't know whether to laugh or not. He could only pick up the wine glass with some resentment, clinked it with Chen Luo, and drank the daughter's red wine.
"I guess you are Chang Rumo!" Lang Taiyi looked at Chang Rumo and spoke.
"I am Chang Rumo, the junior!" Chang Rumo also stood up and saluted.
Lang Taiyi was stunned, and looked at the sword on Chang Rumo's waist: "Can I see your sword?"
Chang Rumo was stunned, looked at the sword at his waist, nodded and said, "Of course!" Then he took off the sword from his waist and handed it to Lang Taiyi.
Lang Taiyi took the sword and stroked the patterns on it. He was so engrossed that he spoke after a long while: "Ask a question that shouldn't be asked!"
"Uncle, please speak!" Chang Rumo spoke without any hesitation.
"Who gave me this sword?"
"Yes..." Chang Rumo probably guessed that Lang Taiyi would ask this question, and subconsciously looked at Shen Lang. Seeing that Shen Lang did not react, he spoke: "Shen Lang gave it to me!"
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Lang. Shen Lang once again found himself in a somewhat awkward situation. He could only face everyone's gazes and grin foolishly.
Lang Taiyi was overwhelmed. He knew the origin of this sword very well, but he didn't expect it to fall into Shen Lang's hands and then be given to Chang Rumo. He smiled and said with a twinkling look: "You really impress me!"
"You're too kind. I don't know any martial arts, nor do I have any martial energy. There's no point in keeping me. Giving me away can be considered a favor!" Shen Lang spoke again, speaking his true feelings, but of course there was still half left unsaid!
The person he sends the gift to has to be his, he won’t send it to others!
I’m not even giving it away to cut vegetables!
"What a good sentence, it can be considered as a fulfillment!" Lang Taiyi praised: "In this case, I will also do something to fulfill your wish!" As he said that, he reached his right hand into his arms, took out a piece of parchment, placed it on the sword, and handed it back to Chang Rumo.
"I got this sword manual by chance. It was left by the number one genius Chen Yi!" Lang Taiyi said calmly, "But I have already practiced Taiyi swordsmanship and can no longer practice this sword manual. Now I give it to you. I hope you practice it well and don't bury the sword and the sword manual!"
Just a few words were like thunder, making everyone's ears buzz. The lively atmosphere instantly fell into dead silence. There was no sound for a long time. Chang Rumo was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
The world-famous Lang Taiyi gave away a sword manual, and it was the sword manual of the number one genius Chen Yi. If such a thing were to be spread, it would be like a bolt from the blue and would surely cause a sensation in the world!
Even if smoke were emitted from the graves of eighteen generations of ancestors, we still cannot receive this great favor from heaven!
In the dead silent hall, Qingsi was the first to react. She tugged at Chang Rumo's sleeve and whispered, "Thank you quickly!"
Chang Rumo finally came to his senses and said hurriedly, "Thank you, uncle. Thank you, uncle!" He took the sword and parchment with trembling hands, and his white fingers opened the parchment with some movement.
Ten thousand swords return to their origin, and my sword energy is gone!
There are eight powerful and vigorous characters written on it. Just from these few words, one can feel the domineering power of Chen Yi when he swept the world with this sword technique!
"You must hide the sword manual well and don't lose it!" Lang Taiyi drank a glass of girl's red wine and said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Chang Rumo nodded quickly, his hands a little out of control, and subconsciously looked at Shen Lang.
"Husband, help me hide!"
