I Have A Sword

Chapter 423: Sword, Come!



Chapter 423: Sword, Come!

Li Yuan frowned upon realizing that Ao Qianqian still hadn't chased after him, even though he had already counted to two. However, he remained confident, believing that there was no way Ao Qianqian would turn down such a tempting offer.

They were talking about the Milky Way Clan here, after all!

The Milky Way Clan was located in the stars beyond, and people there were in a whole new league. One could learn everything from the Milky Way Clan—from techniques to moving mountains and seas to becoming practically immortal—the Milky Way Clan could do everything.

In other words, it was a temptation that not many people could resist.

Three! Li Yuan came to a halt and waited, but he heard no one approaching him. He frowned and turned around to look to find that Ao Qianqian and Ye Guan were nowhere to be found.

Li Yuan was instantly gloomy. He didn't think that they would leave just like that.

Li Yuan felt like he had become a complete clown. In fact, the crowd was staring at Li Yuan with strange expressions, which stoked the fires of fury in Li Yuan. He felt completely and utterly humiliated.

Li Yuan turned to where Ao Qianqian had disappeared before turning around and leaving without saying anything.

Meanwhile, everyone started gossiping about what had just happened. However, no one was talking about Li Yuan. Everyone was talking about Ye Guan, and they were curious about his origins as well as how he stole Ao Qianqian’s heart.

The classroom was jam-packed with students, and it wasn't a strange sight at all, as Ao Qianqian's classes had always been jam-packed.

The students stared wide-eyed at Ye Guan and Ao Qianqian.

Ao Qianqian started blushing, and her affectionate gaze landed on Ye Guan.

The faces of a few male students in her class turned ashen.

It's over!

Ye Guan leaned forward and gave her a peck on the forehead. "Go on."

Ao Qianqian flushed furiously upon getting a forehead kiss right in front of her students. Afraid that he would do something even more intimate, Ao Qianqian hurriedly pushed him away and said, "Go, go, go! Stay outside for a while!"

Ye Guan chuckled and left.

The entire class erupted into an uproar. Ao Qianqian walked toward the podium amidst the din, and she slammed her hand on the podium.

Bam!

The podium was shattered, silencing everything.

"Where did we leave off in our previous class?" she asked.

The students had no idea what to say.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan was walking out of the school building. It was still early morning, so the world outside still wasn't as hot as it would be once high noon arrived. Ye Guan closed his eyes to feel the warmth of the sunlight all over him.

Ye Guan felt extremely comfortable and at ease.

The matter regarding Qianqian had been weighing on his mind for a long time. Instead of facing the problem, he had been constantly avoiding it. Ye Guan believed that he truly hadn't acted like a man by avoiding the matter for such a long time.

To make matters worse, Ye Guan was a swordsman, and a swordsman needed a stable mind. Fortunately, Ye Guan had finally gained the courage to face the women, who were related to him in more ways than one and confront his deep-seated feelings toward them. At the same time, Ye Guan was reflecting on himself as well.

Ye Guan knew that he had been pretty indecisive until now, and it was all because of his naivety. He believed that he had never intentionally flirted with any women; in fact, he actually had no idea that he had been flirting with them.

Ye Guan had discovered that his relationships with women tended to evolve into something more ambiguous, which wasn't great at all. Ye Guan finally realized that he couldn't be indecisive when it came to matters of the heart, and he had decided to avoid getting involved for too long with people he had no feelings for at all.

If the feelings were mutual, however, Ye Guan decided not to let it go to waste.

Having made up his mind, Ye Guan suddenly realized that his mind had cleared up.

Rumble!

A powerful sword intent abruptly burst out of Ye Guan. His aura even started surging crazily, as this was the first time he had confronted his own feelings and reflected on himself.

A person afraid to face their deep-seated feelings definitely had a flawed heart. What was the point of avoiding one's feelings if one believed that confronting them would do more good than harm?

Ye Guan had just decided never to run away from his feelings from now on!

His sword intent suddenly found itself unfettered and unbound. It burst out of him, ready to undergo a qualitative change that would bring Ye Guan's sword cultivation realm to the next level.

Unfortunately, the mysterious force descended upon Ye Guan once more, suppressing his sword intent and aura.

However, Ye Guan wasn't angry or annoyed.

He simply smiled and walked up to Xuanyuan Ling, waiting for him in the distance.

Xuanyuan Ling opened her palm, and a red booklet appeared in her hands. She handed it over to him and explained, "This is your letter of appointment. From now on, you're a teacher of the Milky Way Academy’s Sword Dao Department. You don't have many students, though, so you only have to teach two days a week."

Ye Guan was slightly bewildered, and he asked, "There aren't many students in the Sword Dao Department?"

Xuanyuan Ling nodded.

"How come?" Ye Guan asked.

Xuanyuan Ling smiled and said, "The Sword Dao Department was once the most popular department because everyone wanted to travel the world on a sword.

"However, everyone soon realized that it was easier said than done, and it wasn't something that one could learn at the Milky Way Academy. Furthermore, it's extremely tough to become a swordsman; one needs a lot of resources to progress.

"To make matters worse, the Sword Dao Department has never really seen any good teachers, so it experienced a sharp decline in popularity until it only has a few students left."

Ye Guan nodded and asked, "How many students does the Sword Dao Department have at the moment?"

Xuanyuan Ling blinked and asked, "How about we go there and take a look?"

"All right, let's go," Ye Guan replied, nodding.

With that, the two made a beeline for the Sword Dao Department, reaching it in a matter of a few minutes. The Sword Dao Department's grounds were expansive, but everything looked old and outdated. Hundreds of old swords were placed all around the walls, and some of them looked like they would crumble in one touch.

Ye Guan only saw two people in the Sword Dao Department's grounds—a bespectacled young man and a young woman. The young woman was none other than Shuang Shuang, while the bespectacled young man looked like he was about eighteen years of age. His demeanor and plump physique also made him look friendly.

Ye Guan walked up to them. The bespectacled young man was a bit confused upon seeing the two.

"Hello, did you come here to learn swordsmanship?" asked the bespectacled young man.

"He's a teacher," Shuang Shuang answered for Ye Guan.

A teacher? The bespectacled young man was stunned, and he asked in disbelief, "You’re a teacher?"

Ye Guan nodded and revealed his letter of appointment.

The bespectacled young man immediately bowed and said, "My name is Mu Yun. Greetings, Teacher!"

Shuang Shuang remained silent as she stared at Ye Guan.

"There is no need for formalities," Ye Guan said, smiling. Then, he examined both of them and asked, "You two are the only students here?"

"Yes," Mu Yun replied, nodding.

Ye Guan fell silent. The Sword Dao Department's current state was depressing.

"There are three students!" Xuanyuan Ling chimed in with a smile.

Ye Guan looked at her and asked, "You're the third one?"

"Yes," Xuanyuan Ling replied. Xuanyuan Ling's specialization wasn't swordsmanship, but she decided to change specialization upon learning that Ye Guan would become the teacher of the Sword Dao Department.

So I have three students? Ye Guan smiled and said, "I'll have three students, then!"

Xuanyuan Ling sat down and asked, "What are we going to learn in our first class?"

Ye Guan swept his gaze across the three of them, and his gaze eventually landed on Mu Yun.

"What type of sword are you using?" Ye Guan asked.

Mu Yun looked slightly embarrassed, but he took out a thick broadsword from his interspatial ring and said, "Teacher, I really like to use heavy swords..."

Heavy swords? Ye Guan smiled and said, "That's a great choice. You can subdue many foes with just a swing of your sword!"

"Yes, that's why I like heavy swords," Mu Yun replied, smiling.

Ye Guan examined Shuang Shuang from top to bottom before asking, "What about you?"

Shuang Shuang shook her head. "I don’t know."

Ye Guan thought for a while before saying, "The spiritual energy here is very thin. I can teach you sword techniques, but you'll find it hard-pressed to execute them here, so I’ll just impart some knowledge in battle and sword intent to the three of you."

Shuang Shuang asked, "Sword intent?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."

Shuang Shuang shook her head. "That’s too hard. Comprehending sword intent means becoming a master."

"It really is too difficult," Mu Yun said with a shake of his head, "We don't even have any idea what sword intent is like."

Xuanyuan Ling was smiling, but she didn't say anything. After all, she had seen Ye Guan’s sword intent, and It had left a deep impression on her.

"I'll let you see it, then," Ye Guan said, smiling.

Mu Yun was shocked. "Are you a Master, Teacher?" contemporary romance

Ye Guan nodded and sat down cross-legged before saying, "What is sword intent? Intent refers to your subjective consciousness, such as your mental state and determination. However, sword intent specifically refers to a swordsman’s understanding of his own sword.

"In other words, one’s sword intent is also one’s Dao, so if you want to comprehend sword intent, you have to first ask yourself: why do you want to learn the sword?"

The three fell silent; evidently, they had never pondered over Ye Guan's question until now. Ye Guan swept his gaze across the three before asking, "Why do you want to learn the sword?"

Shuang Shuang replied in a low voice, "Because I want to learn Sword Travel..."

Ye Guan laughed. "That’s all?"

Shuang Shuang hesitated before nodding.

Ye Guan went silent. He finally understood why there were so few swordsmen here.

The Guanxuan Universe had more swordsmen than here, as swordsmanship was closely linked to one's survival. Of course, the Guanxuan Universe had a myriad of sword dao inheritances, but the majority of swordsmen became swordsmen to survive.

However, the students here never really had to worry about their survival, which meant they could live without becoming swordsmen. Furthermore, the spiritual energy of the planet was extremely scarce, and there were no sword dao inheritances here.

In other words, it wasn't strange that the planet's level of martial arts and cultivation was extremely low.

Ye Guan quickly made up his mind. He decided to show them what it meant to become a true swordsman; he wanted them to establish a goal for themselves.

"Would you guys like to see what a sword intent is like?" Ye Guan asked.

Mu Yun hurriedly nodded and exclaimed, "Yes!"

Shuang Shuang looked at Ye Guan and did not say anything, but her eyes were filled with anticipation. Of course, Xuanyuan Ling was staring at Ye Guan with the same gleaming eyes.

"I can't show you guys my sword intent for an extended period of time due to a special reason, so please pay attention," Ye Guan said.

The three students nodded frantically as if they were chicken pecking rice.

Ye Guan smiled and closed his eyes.

Father, let me show off a little; please don’t spoil this moment for me, okay?

He received no reply.

Just this once!

Again, he received no reply.

Ye Guan waited for a while before making up his mind. He would show off despite receiving no response from Ye Xuan.

Your agreement doesn't matter, as I've made up my mind! I’m going to show off today!

Ye Guan's eyes shot wide open, and he spread his arms wide, exclaiming, "Sword, come!"

Hum!

The swords around them let out resonant hums at the same time before flying toward Ye Guan, leaving behind a trail of cold light. Even the swords sticking out of the department grounds flew toward Ye Guan and started orbiting his head.

The three students froze and were completely flabbergasted.
