Volume 17: The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword (Part 2) Chapter 421: Master and Disciple (End)
The moonlight is long and the sky is bright.
There were two people standing inside and outside the secret room.
Gu Xian stopped talking. He was waiting for Su Weiyun to speak.
It seems like many people are always waiting for Su Weiyun to speak.
Su Weiyun suddenly sighed and said, "Did you come here today to invite me to become the leader of the martial arts world in that main plane?"
Gu Xian said, "That's exactly what I meant. Your martial arts are almost perfect. In the main world, all the gods like Sanfeng Zhenren and Miss Aqing have retired. There is almost no one among the grandmasters who can beat you."
Su Weiyun asked, "What if I don't go?"
Gu Xian said: "Of course you can make a choice. I can't force you, and no one can force you."
Su Weiyun hesitated for a long time and asked, "Can I still go back to Earth?"
After all, Su Weiyun still has feelings for the hometown where he has lived for more than ten years. Although the time he has spent in the "jianghu" may not be much less than in the previous world, and his feelings for the "jianghu" are stronger, he still asked this question.
Gu Xian said: "Yes, and no."
Yes and no.
This was Gu Xian’s answer.
Su Weiyun asked: "What does 'can' mean? What does 'can' mean?"
"You can go back to Earth."
Gu Xian added: "What 'cannot' means is that your martial arts and internal strength can no longer regress, because all of this is real."
"And your memory will not disappear. You are a peerless master, so you are destined to never be an ordinary person like before. So instead of going back, it's better not to go back."
If a person has extraordinary inner strength, top-notch martial arts, and outstanding knowledge, can he really still be a small person who eats and pours water and lives in obscurity?
It seems that Gu Xian insists that this is impossible.
Su Weiyun sneered and asked, "So you mean that I can only go to a main plane called "Jianghu Xing" to be the so-called 'Wulin Alliance Leader'?"
The position of leader of the martial arts world has no appeal to Su Weiyun.
Even now, if he wanted to become the leader of the martial arts world, he could immediately summon all the major sects to come, respect him as the leader, and make an alliance!
It is just like Shangguan Jinhong’s ideal.
But Su Weiyun didn’t like that kind of life very much. Such days seemed too busy, boring and uninteresting.
Gu Xian said: "Of course you can choose not to go, but you will eventually find that you can no longer be that little person again."
"You are destined to be a big shot! It's like fate, you can't escape it!"
Su Weiyun suddenly laughed and said, "Then I have to give it a try! Let's see if I can become a small figure again!"
"Are you really going to try?"
Gu Xian thought for a long time before finally speaking slowly.
"You can indeed go to the plane of 'The Third Young Master's Sword' and learn from the Third Young Master how to go from being the 'number one swordsman in the world' to being a 'nobody' again."
Su Weiyun showed no emotion, nor did she have any opinions. She just said calmly, "Since you are a nobody, it doesn't matter where you go. I just want to meet the Third Young Master."
Gu Xian was speechless.
Su Weiyun said: "But I still need to meet my disciple and explain everything to him."
Gu Xian asked: "Your disciple?"
Gu Xian was a little surprised, as if he didn't know that Su Weiyun had a disciple. In fact, it was the first time he met Su Weiyun.
Apart from some of the martial arts that Su Weiyun knew, which he could vaguely guess, he could only roughly estimate Su Weiyun's strength, and he knew nothing about the rest.
To put it bluntly, he is just a swordsman whose martial arts level is slightly higher than Su Weiyun. He is not able to call the wind and rain, travel through time and space, or have omnipotent magical powers.
"I also want to see what your disciples are like."
Su Weiyun nodded and said, "If you want to go meet him, that's fine. By the way, I want to give him the 'Jiang Hu Su Order', which can be regarded as giving him an opportunity."
After he said that, he shook his head as if in a daze, and then walked away.
Gu Xian followed behind him.
…
In the courtyard near Xingyunzhuang.
Old Man Tianji, Li Xunhuan and Sun Xiaohong were not here. They all went out to look for Shangguan Jinhong and Su Weiyun.
Only Li Bufu and Lingling remained in the yard.
In order to prevent Lingling from escaping again, Li Bufu tied her up with ropes and threw her in the middle of the yard. He looked at her viciously and threatened her, "If my master never comes back, I will chop you into eight pieces and feed you to the big yellow dog at the entrance of the alley!"
Ling Ling's eyes were filled with tears. She said pitifully, "Why? What does your master's death have to do with me?"
"If you hadn't secretly given the sword manual to Lu Fengxian, the things that happened later wouldn't have happened at all..."
Li Bufu, who had a fierce and vicious look on his face when he said this, suddenly became helpless and bewildered, and said: "Master is a great hero, and he is such a good person, punishing evildoers and doing good deeds, how could he have any misfortune..."
Ling Ling said: "But you can't blame me completely, right? I'm just a little maidservant beside the young lady..."
Li Bufu said loudly: "Why not blame you? If you hadn't come to be the bridge between Lu Fengxian and Lin Xian'er, Lu Fengxian wouldn't have gone to find Lin Xian'er. If he hadn't gone to find Lin Xian'er, he wouldn't have dragged my master with him, and in the end he wouldn't have met Guan Jinhong..."
Li Bufu's speech became more and more confusing, and he finally got to the most important point without knowing what was going on: "In the end, my master wouldn't have suddenly gone to duel with Shangguan Jinhong!"
Lingling was sharp-tongued and wanted to refute him, but she didn't know where to start.
Instead, a voice outside the door took over the words for him.
"Yes."
When Li Bufu heard the familiar voice, he turned around and saw Su Weiyun walking slowly towards him, followed by a man in green whom he had never seen before.
"I will always go fight Shangguan Jinhong. He and I have always had a fight. It's just that I have been avoiding it as much as possible. Later, I found that what is coming will come, and it cannot be avoided."
Li Bufu did not listen to these explanations, but happily jumped in front of Su Weiyun, hugged him tightly, and said: "Master is back, I know that Master will not lose!"
Su Weiyun laughed: "Yes, I didn't lose, but I'm leaving."
Li Bufu was startled, then asked hurriedly: "Master, are you leaving? When? Where are you going? Can you take me with you?"
Su Weiyun stroked his head and smiled, "No. The place where Master is going is very far away. Maybe Master will retire to the market from now on and not care about worldly affairs."
"Why?"
Li Bufu was very confused. In his opinion, Su Weiyun should have just reached the peak and should accomplish something great.
Su Weiyun suddenly said seriously: "I am here to tell you three things, and then I will leave. You must remember this, this may be the last place I can help you."
Li Bufu quickly stood up straight and listened seriously.
"First of all, you can kill people in the future, but you must kill the people who should be killed, and don't rely on your martial arts skills to do whatever you want!"
Before Li Bufu could say anything, Su Weiyun had already taken out another golden token, handed it to him, and asked him to hold it tightly.
"The second thing is to keep this token safe. It will be of great use to you in the future."
Li Bufu looked down at the token, then raised his head again.
"The third thing, and the most important thing, is that no matter what, you must learn to be yourself."
"Be myself?"
At Li Bufu's age, he obviously doesn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence.
Su Weiyun continued, "Everyone must want to know how exciting the fight between Shangguan Jinhong and I was, but it's better not to tell you. I will only say one thing. Shangguan Jinhong was defeated by me because he practiced the 'Death Sword Technique'. If he fought me with the Dragon and Phoenix Rings, it's hard to say who would win or lose!"
Li Bufu widened his eyes and asked, "The reason he lost is because he didn't be himself?"
Su Weiyun smiled and turned around and said, "Okay, I've said what I need to say. You have your own path, and I shouldn't interfere too much."
Li Bufu looked at Su Weiyun's back, tears in his eyes, and said, "Master, I have remembered everything..."
"Okay, just remember it."
Su Weiyun walked away without any hesitation.
The man in green followed closely, and both of them were extremely fast, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
After their figures disappeared, there have been many different opinions about the battle with Shangguan Jinhong, and it is difficult to find the truth.
Even later, Old Man Tianji told several versions of the story himself, but they were no longer important.
…
"I really can't believe you consider the third thing the most important."
"Hahahaha, if you thought of everything, wouldn't the world be very boring?"
"You are right."
Gu Xian asked again: "Are you sure you want to go to the "Third Young Master's Sword" plane?"
Su Weiyun said calmly: "I think I can be a nobody again."
