read My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 197

Little Yuan’er felt suspicious. She remembered her master’s words and did not dare to be careless. She asked again, “Who are you?”

The green-robed swordsman turned around slowly. A genial smile could be seen on his face as he looked at Little Yuan’er. He nodded slightly and said in a gentle voice, “It’s just as I expected.”

“What do you mean by it’s just as you expected? What are you looking at?” Initially, Little Yuan’er intended to threaten to poke his eyes out, but she was worried her master would get angry. For this reason, she swallowed the threats that were hanging on the tip of her tongue and said, “I’m warning you, stop following me…” After she finished speaking, she walked past the green-robed swordsman and walked along an alley.

The green-robed swordsman crossed his arms and followed Little Yuan’er.

Little Yuan’er frowned. She stopped and said, “Hey…” Then, she raised a foot and stomped on the ground.

Bam!

The ground was dented.

Anyone at the fifth stage of the Body Tempering realm was capable of this.

Little Yuan’er thought the green-robed swordsman would be frightened by this. However, to her surprise, he seemed completely at ease. He continued to stare at her as he followed her around.

A thought suddenly appeared in Little Yuan’er’s mind. ‘This fellow isn’t a pervert, is he?’ She came to a halt abruptly and turned her head to the side before asking, “Do you really plan on following me?”

The green-robed swordsman did not reply to her.

Little Yuan’er instinctively gauged his Primal Qi waves, but she discovered she could not gauge it. ‘An elite! Is he here to harm master?’

The green-robed swordsman remained calm with an easy smile on his face. He seemed to be watching her every move.

Little Yuan’er instantly put her guards up.

The green-robed swordsman thought she would continue on her path when suddenly…

Bam!

Little Yuan’er launched an attack at the green-robed swordsman like a fired arrow.

The explosive speed of the Supreme Purity Jade Slip that was cultivated by a Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm cultivator was not to be taken lightly. A Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm cultivator was not easily found even in Anyang City. With this in mind, Little Yuan’er thought the green-robed swordsman would be so frightened that he would wet his pants.

However, there was only a slight hint of shock in his eyes before it disappeared. He looked just as at ease as before. His protective energy blocked all of Little Yuan’er’s attacks.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Little Yuan’er unleashed every technique in the Supreme Purity Jade Slip. Her shadows seemed to appear everywhere. Every punch from her landed on the energy wall, leaving faint ripples on it.

The green-robed swordsman did not fight back. He was just smiling as he glanced at her occasionally. His dense energy barrier did not reflect her attacks. Instead, it behaved like water. It did not disperse nor did it hit back.

Little Yuan’er felt angrier the more she attacked…

Hundred Tribulations Insight!

An avatar that was roughly the same height as her appeared!

The dazzling translucent golden girl-shaped avatar was exquisite and refined.

The green-robed swordsman turned to look at it before smiling faintly. He moved his hand…

Whoosh!

The energy disappeared. The surging of Primal Qi vanished as well.

Everything fell silent at this moment.

The green-robed swordsman’s hand was on Little Yuan’er’s forehead.

Little Yuan’er kept flailing her arms, but she could not reach the green-robed swordsman. “Darn it… Let go! Let me go!”

“Interesting,” the green-robed swordsman commented.

“Alright… You win…” Little Yuan’er looked at him warily. She gave up fighting and retreated.

‘What if he’s a bad person…’ She could feel that the man before her possessed formidable strength and cultivation base.

The green-robed swordsman flashed a faint smile. He greeted her again, “Hello.”

“Goodbye.” Little Yuan’er walked back up the path.

“Little junior sister… you should say hello as well.”

“Huh?”

“I’m your Second Senior Brother.”

“…” Little Yuan’er did not have much recollection of her Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother. In fact, they had not officially met. There was no way she would recognize Yu Shangrong. She really found it hard to believe that the green-robed swordsman standing before her was her Second Senior Brother, Yu Shangrong.

She said skeptically, “Second Senior Brother?”

When he saw she was doubting him, Yu Shangrong’s Longevity Sword left its scabbard, shot to the end of the alley in a blink of an eye, and appeared before Little Yuan’er just as quickly. He wore a faint smile on his face as the elegant scarlet sword hovered in front of him.

Little Yuan’er was shocked. A hint of surprise could be seen on her face as she frowned. “Huh? Se-second Senior Brother? No, I mean, traitor!”

Yu Shangrong did not seem to mind her words. With just a thought, the Longevity Sword returned to its scabbard. “Little junior sister… Do you think I’m a traitor as well?”

Little Yuan’er looked at the elegant and smiling Yu Shangrong. He was not what she had imagined him to be. He looked like the boy-next-door. She had trouble reconciling his image with that of a traitor. Hence, she shook her head before nodding and said, “I don’t know. You must be since that’s what master said.”

“Let’s not talk about that…” Yu Shangrong said.

“What are you doing here in Anyang?”

“To see you.”

The two of them walked back at a leisurely pace as though they were taking a stroll together.

“How did you know?” Little Yuan’er’s curiosity was piqued, and she followed up with more questions.

“Seventh Junior Brother told me about it.”

“Seventh Senior Brother is here as well?”

“I don’t know.”

“What about Eldest Senior Brother?”

“I don’t know.”

“Second Senior Brother… Can I see your sword?”

To a swordsman, their swords were their lives. They would never part with it.

However, Yu Shangrong’s reply was light and easy. “Sure.” He handed his Longevity Sword over.

Little Yuan’er received it carefully. However, the instant she held it in her hand, the terrifying weight made her stumble backward. Fortunately, her cultivation base was not weak. She made timely adjustments to her strength and wielded it as though it weighed nothing.

Little Yuan’er admired it for a moment. She even gave it a few swings. She clicked her tongue in wonder. Then, she presented it back to Yu Shangrong with both hands in a respectful manner.

“What do you think?” Yu Shangrong asked.

“I can’t say for sure… I feel that it’s good, but it doesn’t seem to fit me,” Little Yuan’er said honestly.

Yu Shangrong sheathed his Longevity Sword and said with a faint smile, “You’re not suited for the sword, little junior sister…”

“That’s right, I have the Nirvana Sash! Senior Brother, would you like to see it?”

“No, thanks.” Yu Shangrong stopped in his tracks. He looked up at the sky and at Ci Mansion before he said. “Little junior sister, I have a gift for you.”

Little Yuan’er clapped her hands and said, “Really?”

Yu Shangrong raised his right hand, and an embroidered box flew toward him from afar. He had clearly prepared this beforehand.

“What’s that?” Little Yuan’er asked curiously.

“I hope you’ll like it…” Yu Shangrong gave her the box.

Little Yuan’er opened it and looked inside… A set of green, exquisite-looking clothes were folded neatly inside the box. They had a faint glow to it as well.

When she looked up again, Yu Shangrong was already walking in the opposite direction with his sword in his hands.

“Se-second Senior Brother?”

“I’m glad that I met you. I have something to attend to. We’ll meet again.” With that, Yu Shangrong went further and further away.

Little Yuan’er put the embroidered box away. She nodded at Yu Shangrong’s back. With surprising maturity, she said, “Thank you for your gift, Second Senior Brother!”

Whoosh!

Yu Shangrong’s figure disappeared.

The empty alley was now deserted.

It was as if the famous Sword Devil had never been here in the first place.

Little Yuan’er carried the embroidered box, unsure of how to feel…

At this moment, Ci An called out from afar, “My lady. Old Mister wants to see you.”

“Coming!” Little Yuan’er returned to the Ci Mansion.

When she entered the room, Lu Zhou’s gaze fell on the embroidered box she was carrying.

Little Yuan’er hastily said, “Master… I didn’t steal this. It was given to me by Second Senior Brother…”
