Chapter 353 Seventh Senior Sister’s Fairer

Yu Shangrong opened his eyes slowly . He lowered his head and looked at the hair on his shoulders . He was not shocked by it . He closed his eyes again .

There was a huge wave of energy outside the Cave of Reflection .

Sometime later, a voice rang from outside the cave . The voice was sharp and clear . “Second Senior Brother . ” Yu Shangrong smiled faintly and said, “Little Junior Sister . ” He stood up slowly, picked up his Longevity Sword, and walked out of the Cave of Reflection .

Little Yuan’er was standing outside the cave under the moonlight . She had been happy, but when she saw Yu Shangrong’s silver hair, she was shocked and worried . She said, “Second Senior Brother, your-your hair…” “I’m alright . ” Yu Shangrong walked up to Little Yuan’er . He looked up at the starry sky and moon with its gentle glow . Then, he shifted his gaze to Little Yuan’er . “You seem to have grown taller . ”

Little Yuan’er giggled . “Well, it’s only natural for people to grow . ”

“Yes… people grow,” Yu Shangrong said .

“The three Elders and Fourth Senior Brother are messing around . I had nothing else to do so I decided to visit you,” Little Yuan’er said .

At this moment, Hua Wudao was flying across the sky with his Seven-leaf avatar and Six Compatible Seal . When he sensed some movement at the Cave of Reflection, he hovered in the air and looked down .

Yu Shangrong did not even look up as he spoke, “He’s dead . He’s inside the Cave of Reflection . ”

Hua Wudao was slightly shocked and made a move to descend . He was shocked when he saw the dead Jiang Liang . He stooped down to inspect the wound on Jiang Liang’s body . When he confirmed that it was left by a sword, he was filled with fright .

Yu Shangrong’s cultivation base had been sealed . Naturally, Hua Wudao knew that Jiang Liang was a Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm elite . Even if he was injured, he was not someone who could be killed by a person without a cultivation base . How did Yu Shangrong manage it?

Hua Wudao turned and looked at Yu Shangrong who was backlit by the moonlight .

Half of Yu Shangrong had turned white, but his expression remained calm as though nothing was different .

Hua Wudao could not make heads or tails out of it so he decided to give up guessing . He left the Cave of Reflection for a moment and notified the others to move the body away . When Little Yuan’er saw the corpse, she was also shocked . She said, “Second Senior Brother… you killed him?”

Yu Shangrong nodded faintly .

When he returned, Hua Wudao cupped his fists . “May I ask, how you killed Jiang Liang, Mister Second?”

“With a mighty swing of my sword,” Yu Shangrong replied nonchalantly . “…” There was no flaw in that answer .

Having inspected the wound, Hua Wudao felt now that his question was meaningless .

“I’m enlightened . ” Hua Wudao cupped his hands slightly, turned around, and left .

Little Yuan’er gave Yu Shangrong a thumbs-up . She giggled and said, “That’s amazing, Second Senior Brother… Second Senior Brother, just how amazing are you?”

That question stumped Yu Shangrong . After giving it some thought, he replied honestly, “I’m just slightly less amazing than master?”

“Slightly less?” “Well, maybe a little more . ”

“…so, which is it?” Little Yuan’er looked at him, clearly not planning to give up until she had her answer .

“That’s not important . ” Yu Shangrong walked away from the moonlight and went under the shadows of the trees .

This view reminded Little Yuan’er of a certain person . Hence, she said, “Second Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Sister’s hair is actually whiter than yours . ”

Yu Shangrong turned around and said, “Ye Tianxin?”

When Little Yuan’er thought about Ye Tianxin, she became dejected . She said, “Senior Sister Tianxin has it rough . Alas, she’s been driven out by Master . ”

Yu Shangrong smiled . “That kindness of yours is rare, Little Junior Sister . ”

“Thank you, Second Senior Brother,” Little Yuan’er said .

Yu Shangrong noticed that something was not right with her clothes . He asked in confusion, “Is the Cloud Feather Raiment not good?”

“No… It’s great, but master won’t let me wear it . He says that it’s getting in the way of my improvement and cultivation base,” Little Yuan’er replied .

“Master’s right . ”

Little Yuan’er said proudly, “I’ve made some huge improvements lately . Second Senior Brother, let’s spar… I couldn’t even touch you back then, but I’m sure that I can now . ”

Yu Shangrong . “…”

Before he could reply, a ten-foot avatar appeared behind Little Yuan’er . It was as quick-witted and cute as its owner .

Yu Shangrong regarded the avatar with a slightly shocked expression . He spoke softly, “Congratulations, Little Junior Sister . ”

‘She’s able to enter the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm and form a Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar in such a short time . She has even sprouted one leaf… Perhaps, in the near future, Little Junior Sister would really be able to reach the top of the cultivation world . Her future is something to look forward to!’ On the other hand, Yu Shangrong had completely lost his cultivation base . He shook his head .

At this moment, an imposing voice rang in the air .

“Yuan’er, behave yourself . ”

Little Yuan’er hastily turned around . She saw her master walking toward them under the moonlight with his hands on his back . She bowed hastily . “Master . ”

Yu Shangrong was slightly taken aback . He went to his Little Senior Sister’s side and bowed as well .

Lu Zhou looked at Yu Shangrong’s hair . He turned to Little Yuan’er and said, “Yuan’er, I have something to speak about to your Second Senior Brother . Give us some privacy . ”

“Oh . ” Although Little Yuan’er was slightly unwilling, she always did as she was told . She turned to look at Yu Shangrong before she waved her hands and said, “Second Senior Brother, let’s spar in the future… I’ll be going now!”

“Mhm . ” Yu Shangrong nodded .

After Little Yuan’er left, Lu Zhou extended his hand and said tonelessly, “The Longevity Sword . ”

Yu Shangrong knew that he could not resist . Yet, he hesitated slightly before he finally placed the Longevity Sword in his master’s hand .

When Lu Zhou touched the Longevity Sword, he gauged the energy within it . It was practically empty .

Lu Zhou tossed the sword back to Yu Shangrong and said, “Don’t you feel regretful? You could’ve lived for another 200 years . ” He was sure that Yu Shangrong had used the remaining power inside the sword to kill Jiang Liang .

The Longevity Sword, like its name suggested, could prolong one’s life and stave off death for a while .

Yu Shangrong appeared calm as he said, “I have never regretted the strokes of my sword . In the past, the present, or future, I will never regret it . ”

With his hands on his back, Lu Zhou asked, “At this point… Do you still think that I’m trying to kill you?”

Yu Shangrong was stunned . Although they had not spoken much ever since they were in Radiant Cloud Forest, he could clearly sense his master’s change . After mulling it over, he replied, “There’s no guarantee of what might happen in the future . ”

“The future? How much longer can you live? What future are you talking about?” Lu Zhou retorted .

Yu Shangrong was momentarily stumped . After some time, he said, “You said that you’ll kick down the doors of the Nine-leaf stage . ”

Lu Zhou looked up at the sky and the moon that was shining brightly . He sighed, shook his head, and said, “No matter what I did, that’s all in the past…”

Yu Shangrong did not know what he was supposed to say . When he heard this, the animosity he felt in the past rose again, reminding him of what had happened in the past . In the end, he chose to keep quiet .

At this moment, Lu Zhou turned around slowly and looked at Yu Shangrong . “There must be a reason why I tried to kill you in the past… Regardless, you’re still my disciple . Your hair has already turned white . Once you’ve thought things through, come to the eastern pavilion . ” He did not wait for Yu Shangrong’s reply and turned to leave the Cave of Reflection as soon as he finished speaking .

A long time, with the moonlight still shining on him, Yu Shangrong tightly gripped his Longevity Sword with his trembling finger before he entered the Cave of Reflection once again .
