Chapter 91 Timelessness in the Mountains (Please Subscribe)_3
Chen Yi took the wanted notice handed over by Hua Youxiang, and indeed saw the mad old man with two missing front teeth on it, feeling greatly depressed.
The mad old man actually possesses the technique of "Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell".
Next time I see him, I must grind his bones and scatter his ashes.
Thinking this, Chen Yi exchanged a few words with Hua Youxiang and the others, then turned to head towards the rear chamber to find Zhan Hongxiu and Ning Xue, his two senior sisters.
While handing over ten thousand gold coins to them, both of their faces looked puzzled.
"Since when did Master Sun become so easy to speak with?" Ning Xue blinked.
"Don't look at me," Zhan Hongxiu didn't understand either, but she didn't think too much about it; she directly took a thousand gold coins, smiled beautifully, and said, "Sister, keep the rest."
As she said this, she didn't forget to hand a thousand to Chen Yi, subtly hinting at him to quickly accept it.
After all, if Chen Yi didn't take it, it wouldn't be right for her as the eldest sister to accept it.
Otherwise, the money she owed for the drinks at the inn down the mountain would have to be settled by other means.
Seeing her small move, Ning Xue just assumed it was part of their mission earnings and didn't say more.
"The mission in Jiangnan Prefecture was truly dangerous, even I, while being on the mountain, was sweating on your behalf when I saw those Evil Demons."
"Especially you, Junior Brother Chen..."
Ning Xue spoke in a very calm tone, but Chen Yi could hear the concern in her words and didn't argue, simply nodding.
Zhan Hongxiu, standing by the side, found all this quite strange.
When she previously lectured Chen Yi, this disciple who reached the pinnacle in Sword Dao wasn't so docile.
What did she know?
Even though Ning Xue is now Chen Yi's senior sister, she was his teacher at Xingwu Academy.
Even now, Chen Yi occasionally still addresses her as "Mr. Ning."
The three didn't chat for too long before going their separate ways.
Zhan Hongxiu, full of energy and having her challenge rejected by Chen Yi, sulkily went off to drink.
Ning Xue was preparing the subsequent plans for financial expenditures and the cultivation arrangements for their junior brothers and sisters.
Only Chen Yi was truly relaxed, thinking that his days from now on could return to normal and he peacefully went off to sleep soundly.
During the days spent at the base of the mountain due to the mission, it was rare for him to sleep peacefully.
Especially on the way back, being harassed by Jianghu guests had tensed him up these past few days.
"No wonder there's a saying, half a day of stolen leisure."
"Truly does not deceive me..."
...
The next day.
Chen Yi woke up early, having a premonition that today would be a busy day.
Since he had rested enough the night before, he got up early to complete his personal chores.
Actually, there wasn't anything major.
Merely sending out a few letters about his trip to Jiangnan Prefecture.
One to Xia Wanwan, far away in Kyoto Prefecture, to put her at ease.
Another to Chen Taiping at Beixiong Pass, to lift his spirits, a bit of fun for his mundane days stationed at the border.
The last one, sent to Wuliang Mountain, was for his eldest brother, Chen Yuan.
In fact, since receiving a letter from his eldest brother last time, Chen Yi had been planning to write a reply.
But firstly, he wasn't sure what to write about.
After all, his days on the mountain were too mundane, much like Chen Yuan's life on Wuliang Mountain, almost nothing worth writing about.
Secondly, just at that time Zhan Hongxiu pulled him into a mission by the Demon Hunting Hall in Jiangnan Prefecture, so the matter of reply was put off.
Only now did he start to write.
"Eldest brother need not worry, your brother is all well at the Grand Void Sect."
"The senior brothers on Sword Edge Mountain treat me well, although not like elder brother who has people preparing medicinal baths, people fond of speaking; favors..."
In less than thirty minutes, Chen Yi eloquently wrote a thousand words, greatly praising his days on Sword Edge Mountain.
Then he shifted his brush to the mission undertaken in Jiangnan Prefecture and his travels, emphasizing how he heroically slew Evil Demons, and briefly introducing the "Heavenly Pride List" at the end.
"Enclosed with the letter is a copy of the 'Heavenly Pride List', for elder brother to see."
"I believe after elder brother completes his studies and leaves the mountain, he will definitely also make it onto the 'Heavenly Pride List', hehe."
After writing, Chen Yi reviewed the letter, nodded in satisfaction.
Even he could see in the lines a bit of boasting, a bit of motivation.
Hmm, and a bit deserving of a beating.
Thinking that the elder brother, after reading, no matter if it's in cultivation or Sword Dao surpassing him, will definitely be greatly inspired.
After finishing the letter, Chen Yi called up the display panel to check.
[Age 35, cultivation reaches the Seventh Grade Origin Transformation Realm (Lower Stage) and great achievement in Sword Dao, encountering a malicious lock from a Fourth Grade Spiritual Aperture Realm martial artist, Rebellion Point +6]
[Name: Chen Yi]
[Age: 35]
[Cultivation: Seventh Grade Origin Transformation Realm (Lower Stage)]
[Talent: Late Bloomer—The older the bone age, the faster the cultivation speed.]
[Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique: Small Success—True Yuan transforms into Gang Qi, solid Gang Qi releases Shock Thunder.]
[Sword Dao: Great Success—Battling for a century, Sword Intent reaching utmost purity. A single sword strike, a thousand bones wither!]
[Rebellion Points: 29/100]
This last malicious lock was likely from the "Demoness" Wen Renying.
Back then, Chen Yi had killed her father, Wen Renhong, and noticed the flash across the display panel.
But he was busy pretending to chase "Evil Bone" Zhu Gang and meeting up with Zhan Hongxiu, so he didn't pay attention to it.
Now looking back, in future encounters with disciples from the Divine Sect, he'd better be more cautious.
Especially that one who looks fiercely passionate, "Demoness"; if possible, kill her to prevent her from seeking revenge once she gains power.
Chen Yi then closed the panel, "A trip down the mountain, and the Rebellion Points only increased by 29."
Indeed not much.
Although it's not many, Chen Yi felt there was no more need to worry about acquiring Rebellion Points.
