Chapter 4 : The Shen Hua Mountain

The Wan Zhan Peak is known for their spectacular Blade martial arts. Even though their Martial Arts seemed like a simple, fast and easy moves. It is actually full of complicated poses and formation.

There is no beautiful scenery nor eye catching moves but it is powerful enough to strike down opponents. That kind of move is what Peak Master Tian Lang wants. A move that didn't look like it's for showing off but it's main objective is to defeat opponents and maintain victory.

Peak Master Tian Lang had his first disciple, Bai Lan. He was a genius young man who had a large and wide spiritual qi. Tian Lang was amazed by him and picked him to be his first direct disciple.

He trained Bai Lan until he became powerful enough to master the five formation of Simplified Blade Strikes. Even though it looks literally SIMPLE just like the word "Simplified", it was actually made by five hundred position for all five formation. Even a thirty position martial arts is considered hard in Cultivation world, then how about five hundred? It was the hardest and the most powerful Martial Arts Tian Lang had.

When the Rising Star Cultivation Battle commenced, his disciple, Bai Lan placed first in the ranking of cultivation world and was called "Yin Ren Warrior". He was called Yin Ren (Silver Blade) Warrior because the simple slash of his silver blade is powerful enough to slice down a mountain. Bai Lan live up to his reputation.

The original "Liu Xiao" was very envious of him. He repeatedly fought Bai Lan but never won atleast once. The petals of his Meihua (plum blossom) couldn't keep up to Bai Lan's sword. They fought and fought and fought until the original "Liu Xiao" considered Bai Lan his number one rival. The end.

So that's what happened in the original novel "The Black Book". Inshort, the original "Liu Xiao" and Bai Lan didn't have a good relationship. Well of course! A diamond and a coal can't be both considered jewel. (It's like saying you can't compare the real to the fake.)

The original "Liu Xiao" had a rotten personality and Lusts over Chen Yi while Bai Lan, on the other hand, is a righteous person who always aim for victory. If i would've entered here, atleast they should've make me transfer to Bai Lan's body! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Going back to reality.... Master Mo Xian's body have not yet recovered. They really need the Black lotus essence to make him go back to normal....

But wait...... Black lotus essence..... The elder! If i can ask him a favor—No! It's a top secret information for both of them! How could i dare to say it directly?! They will kill me if they knew that i know about the Black Lotus Cultivation! So No!

Then should we really go to the Shen Hua Mountain? I know a bit of information about it from the novel..... *sigh* this puts me in a tight situation. Why am i making decisions by myself?

The Masters and Elders were a arguing about whether to go to the Shen Hua Mountain or not when Liu Xiao interfered. All of the people present inside looked at him with a shocked expression.

An elder said. Liu Xiao shook his head and spoke.

The other elder asked him. all of them remained silent on what Liu Xiao will say.

All the people was surprised at his clear explanation. The other elder stood up and went to Mount Hua Peak Master Mo Xian. the other elders agreed to what he said. Liu Xiao was just standing there, waiting for the other to agree to his favor.

Hurry, hurry..... (」ﾟДﾟ」

Peak Master Tian Lang slowly nodded. ..."

Peak Master Mo's words were cut by Tian Lang. Mo Zian remain silent on what Tian Lang said. He lookes away and clenched his fist.

Liu Xiao sighed. I can't bear to look at this scene anymore, just give me the mission! I don't want Master Mo like this i pity him! o(╥﹏╥)o

Master Mo said. It's the first time Liu Xiao was assigned for a mission and the first time his Master Mo had a serious look on his face.

Both Liu Xiao and Chen Yi said. Tian Lang put a satisfied expression on his face as he fanned himself, Bai Lan just watched from behind with a stoic expression and the elders nodded in agreement.

At this time, The point of view of the novel is pointed at Wu Qingge who is being taught by the elder. This must be a hidden plot of the story. How exciting.

Not exciting. I totally forgot about Wu Qingge's food! There's still more time until Wu Qingge sweeps the entrance of Mount Hua Peak.

He prepared all the utensils amd ingredients from the Mount Hua Peak kitchen to make a pork dumpling. This is my favorite back when i was in the modern world. So this is the only food i know how to make.

After Liu Xiao is done, he arrange the dumplings inside a wooden lunch box and hop on his sword to go outside the Mount Hua Peak.

He can't go through the entrance because Wu Qingge will be there so he went to the east part where he will end up near the dump he went last night. Well actually, Wu Qingge's house is near the dump.

Wu Qingge's house is not like the houses of the inner disciple and it's also worse than the house of outer disciple. It's a small bamboo house that only had one door and one window. The roof seemes like it would fall and the walls are filled with scratches and cracks. The other disciples must've done these.

Liu Xiao tiptoed on his way to open the door but it suddenly opened and the elder appeared.

Shit! (╥_╥)

The elder said in a teasing way. Liu Xiao awkwardly smiled. He greeted. The elder just laughed before talking.

The elder glanced at the wooden lunch box Liu Xiao is holding then smiled at him in an amused way.

Liu Xiao awkwardy scratched his nape and glanced at the elder who's smirking. Liu Xiao felt weird because he's like a young girl secretly giving lunch box to her crush and getting caught by his homeroom teacher! (༎ຶ⌑༎ຶ)

The elder walked near the wooden lunch box and sniffed it. That's a lie you can't even eat because you don't have a body anymore. You sealed your soul through a book so your soul is only left, not your body with organs.

The smirk on the elder's face became even wider. I know, okay? Chen Yi is supposed to do this but whatever my survival is important!

He gave Liu Xiao a way to enter through the door. Liu Xiao put the wooden lunch box in the small table. Wu Qingge's bed is so small that he doubt if he can even fit in it. It also seemed uncomfortable unlike his nice bed inside the Mount Hua Peak. Liu Xiao turned around to leave but stopped to say something. Liu Xiao said to the elder, referring the wooden lunch box.

( ͡ ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ ᵔ )—The elder was looking at him like this. I know, okay?! But it's not what you think! Stop thinking about it! (Our Liu Xiao is gay HuaHuaHuaHua!)

The smile on the elder's face disappeared. Well, Liu Xiao expected the elder to take a look on the main character's memories. He just sighed as a response and didn't say anything.

The elder asked him and stared right into his eyes. Liu Xiao's mouth left open in a few seconds before saying something. Liu Xiao asked. The elder smirked and sat on the tree.

The elder crossed his arms before continuing. So Liu Xiao is left in no choice then...

suddenly, a bloodlust filled the air. Even though it's day, the sky became dark and eerie. The elder's colorless eyes turned blood red and his demonic mark appeared on his forehead.

Liu Xiao rolled his eyes. The bloodlust disappeared. The serious face of the elder earlier became bright again as he smiled at Liu Xiao. Tch! This old man is moody!

Liu Xiao realized that he took so much time on Wu Qingge's house. Wu Qingge should be done sweeping by now. Liu Xiao hopped on his floating sword and glanced to the elder. He said as he waves goodbye on the elder before going back to the Mount Hua Peak.
