Chapter 9 : The Rising Star Cultivation Battle Part 1

After Liu Xiao went to sleep on his chamber, Wu Qingge was promoted into an inner disciple of the Moun Hua Peak. Many disciples were envious and disapproved his promotion but they can't say it directly and torment him anymore because Master Mo Xian personally promoted him after Chen Yi reported the whole thing that happened.

And most importantly, Wu Qingge's room was placed in a few miles on Liu Xiao's chamber! After Liu Xiao knew about it, he can't even rest peacefully thinking that Wu Qingge can now kill him unguarded! Wu Qingge being promoted into an inner disciple is not on the original novel. The plot changed again unexpectedly.

The sun was already down and the sound of cricket's noised were heard at the back of his house. Liu Xiao came back earlier when the sun was about to rise and slept soundly. He just woke up later on and the sun was now setting, replacing the bright and big moon.

While Liu Xiao was deep in his thoughts, a light knock on the door was heard, judging by the way the person knocked, he already knew who it is. He fixed the creased fabric on his lower robe and hurriedly walked to the door and opened it. He asked while letting his Master inside.

Mo Xian softly smiled and sat on the bamboo chair. He took a deep breath before saying something. Liu Xiao poured tea for the two of them and he started sipping to his tea while waiting for what Mo Xian will say.

all the tea in Liu Xiao's mouth was sprayed all over his Master's face. Fuckkk!!!! Liu Xiao aggressively wiped his Master's face using the hem of his robe.

Mo Xian stopped his hand and said: Liu Xiao massaged his temple and sat down the bamboo chair. Mo Xian stared at him for a bit, then clapped his hand one time before speaking.

Liu Xiao yelled while he stood. I must go! It's the main plot where Wu Qingge was already knoen to the cultuvation world after he ranked second and defeated Liu Xiao in the competition. I remembered Lou Xiao was so humiliated that he dared to put poison on Wu Qingge's food just to destroy his meridians but it didn't work because he was already cultivating the black lotus cultivation.

It maintains your physical and mental healthiness and automatically heals your wound. I must watch the match where all the peak masters are all surprised by an outer disciple rising through the ranks! Even though he's an inner disciple now, the fight must be satisfying and amazing!

Mo Xian was surprised on Liu Xiao's answer and then cheerfully smiled at him after. He said with a soft, silent voice.

Liu Xiao felt a bit guilty on his rude behavior earlier and looked away. The silence enveloped his chambers until Liu Xiao was the first one to broke it. he asked.

His gentle smile turned into a faint serious expression. (Cultivation of tranquility) Mo Xian explained.

It's true that black lotus essence can repair or heal any types of wounds or deformation. Maybe it can even build missing parts if you have no arms and legs! But how to use it is very complicated. Even his spiritual qi can't parry it and only a person who knows black lotus cultivation can only hold it. He can't just say that "Master let Wu Qingge handle it!" because the protagonist was supposed to be lowkey for now while he is being taught by the former Mount Hua Peak master.

Liu Xiao didn't say anything and started sipping his tea again. Mo Xian took a sip of his tea and stood up, Liu Xiao turned his gaze to him. Mo Xian put his usual smile—a gentle and soft smile, and walked out Liu Xiao's chamber.

After Master Mo Xian got out his room, all his stress started to flow out of his head. He leaned on the bamboo chair and sighed heavily. he said to himself while staring at the white ceiling above his room.

After a few tantrums on silent complaints in his chamber, he picked up his sword and put it the little belt in his waist and stormed out of his room lazily.

He went straight on his usual training stop, the plum blossom forest and went to the widest area. Liu Xiao felt the ambience of the wind while he closed his eyes and focused on feeling his spiritual qi.

The breeze was neither cold nor warm, but it was very comfortable that it makes you drowsy. As he let out a gentle aura of spiritual qi all over his body, the plum blossom petals that were flying with the wind approached him and floated around his direction.

The white pink spiritual qi around his body gently followed his movements as he slowly swung his sword in a alluring way, like it's bewitching the opponent to surrender to him. As Liu Xiao swing his sword through different direction with his eyes closed and his mind in peace, the spiritual qi around his body increased and became wider. The petals wobbled while circling around him and dancing as he slowly floats in the air.

His mind was so peaceful, not thinking about anything or distracted while he beautifully danced like a swan mid-air. The petals were wobbling agressively as it follow his pace. His spiritual qi was like a fairy dust spreading around the corners of his body in a pleasing way. Liu Xiao's moves was like a freestyle dance but it's beautiful and precise, He twist his body and stretched his hand thatvwas holding the sword. He kept dancing while his spiritual qi and the plum blossom petals surround him.

Haaa... This is relaxing. It's like i'm doing work out by just moving my body and twisting in a graceful way. I can't think of anything...... Nothing's entering my mind. (´ ▽｀).。ｏ♡

Liu Xiao's serenity disappeared when he heard a rustling sounds on the large bushes around the plum blossom trees. He saw Wu Qingge was peeking at him with a strange spark in his eyes. It was like he's seeing an exquisite rare flower that blooms only in a full moon. Their eyes both met tediously, no one dared to speak nor broke the silence as they stare at each other. Wu Wingge slightly opened his lips and was about to say something when—

Liu Xiao was flustered when he saw Wu Qingge was about say something fell on the ground with his back first. He groaned in pain and massaged his hips while slowly getting up. The dancing and floating plum blossom fell lifelessly on the ground when his spiritual qi disappeared.

Wu Qingge was about to approach him from behind and ask if he's okay when Liu Xiao raised his hand to halt him and immediately stood up. Liu Xiao said while wiping the fallen plum petals on his head and shoulder as he stood up. He turned at Wu Qingge who was 4 meters behind him, sneaking a glance at him like he was a kid caught stealing toys. Liu Xiao didn't know whether he will laugh or pretend not to notice Wu Qingge's appearance right now but in the end, he cleared his throat and asked him.

Wu Qingge didn't say anything and just stared at him. Liu Xiao raised his eyebrows while waiting for his reply but he didn't say anything so Liu Xiao felt awkward. They were both silent while exchanging gazes with each other. Liu Xiao hid his nervous face while looking at Wu Qingge then looking at the plum blossom trees.

Why is he here? Did he came here to kill me now! Should i fight back?! But it's the legendary protagonist, rhe one who will rule and reign over the cutivation world! Should i win if we fought here right now?—i'm not sure!

After a while, Wu Qingge talked. Wu Qingge glanced at the bush he was hiding earloer and turned his gaze at Liu Xiao again. Wu Qingge asked in a low voice, his face turning into a bright then sullen expression.

Liu Xiao put his sword back to his waist and shook his head. he said, opening a small pouch on his waist and picked up a small piece of biscuit. He glanced at Wu Qingge and raised his hand to level Wu Qingge's lips.

Liu Xiao asked, handing the small biscuit to Wu Qingge's mouth. Wu Qingge's expression turned bright as he walked forward and slightly bend his body to bite the small biscuit. He started crunching it slowly while looking at Liu Xiao with a slight curve on his lips. Liu Xiao awkwardly smiled and picked up a small biscuit again to eat. The sound of crunches was heard at the plum blossom forest.

A thought popped on Liu Xiao's mind and glanced at Wu Qingge. Liu Xiao asked while a worried expression appearing in his face. Wu Qingge just smiled and didn't answer like he didn't want to make a false answer.

As Liu Xiao looked closer at him, he noticed that his appearance changed, The plain white clothing that looked like it belongs to a commoner turned into a magnificent light blue robe with embroidered pattern on it's waist area, His appearance was even more emphasized as his short hair remained loose and a little bit messy, His sharp nose and brown eyes shined like it an edited filtered face.

Wu Qingge called him. Liu Xiao raised his bith eyebrows like he's saying "what is it?" .

Wu Qingge remained silent for a bit, his expression looked serious and slightly pissed and asked: Huh? What is that strange question? Liu Xiao was a bit confused but he still answered hesistantly.

Wu Qingge asked again. Hmmm? Did the Liu Xiao dance when he fights the enemy?..... No, he didn't.

Then am i the only one doing it like this?! But dancing while fighting seemed awesome! How come Liu Xiao never do it? In the novel, he just slash his oponents while hypnotizing them with the beauty of the plum blossom petals. He didn't even move but then he still won..... Except for Bai Lan.

Liu Xiao answered. The dim expression on Wu Qingge's face earlier disappeared. He opened his mouth slightly and was about to say something but he just closed it and smilednat Liu Xiao while he walked out ofnthe plum blossom forest, leaving Liu Xiao confused.
