I Have A Sword

Chapter 426: Xuanyuan Clan



Chapter 426: Xuanyuan Clan

Ye Guan had yet to snap back to reality, but Ao Qianqian had already turned around and ran away.

Ye Guan shook his head and smiled while staring at her departing back. Ao Qianqian had misunderstood him. The women in the Guanxuan Universe were more conservative than the women in the Milky Way. Of course, women like Ba Wan and the True God were pretty rare as well.

Ye Guan instantly grew curious about Ba Wan's whereabouts. The True God said that she was in the Milky Way Academy, but he hadn't been able to find her at all.

It seemed that it was time to get Xuanyuan Ling's help. After all, the Milky Way Academy was pretty huge.

Ye Guan's injuries were severe, but he still managed to conduct a class after resting for a bit. Actually, Ye Guan had no official classes in the afternoon, but he wanted to visit his three students. He was a bit interested in his students' progress.

When he arrived at the Sword Dao Department, Xuanyuan Ling and the others were all there. Xuanyuan Ling was sitting cross-legged against a bed. Her hands were placed on her thighs as she breathed deeply.

Ye Guan swept his gaze across the three of them, but he didn't interrupt them. He was about to leave when Xuanyuan Ling's eyes shot wide open, and a sword intent burst out of her.

Ye Guan was stunned. Sword intent!

Xuanyuan Ling shot up to her feet, and her expression changed to that of delight when she saw Ye Guan in the distance. "Sword intent. I've finally comprehended it!"

"Congratulations!" Ye Guan said, smiling. To be honest, he was somewhat surprised. He did not expect that Xuanyuan Ling would comprehend sword untent so quickly. It seemed that she was more than talented enough to become a swordsman.

Xuanyuan Ling walked briskly to Ye Guan's side and asked, "Can you keep on teaching me, even in the distant future?"

Xuanyuan Ling knew that she wouldn't have comprehended her own sword intent if it hadn't been for Ye Guan showing her what sword intent was like and sharing with them his knowledge and wisdom of sword intent.

Ye Guan smiled. "I'll be your teacher while I'm on this planet, and I will teach you to the best of my abilities. As for how much you'll learn, it all depends on your destiny."

"Okay!" Xuanyuan Ling exclaimed with a nod, overjoyed.

Swoosh!

The elegant Yunxiu Sword appeared in Ye Guan's palm. He handed it over to Xuanyuan Ling and said, "This is your sword, and I'm returning it to you."

Xuanyuan Ling shook her head. "I already gave it to you, so it's yours. Please don't return it to me."

Ye Guan pondered briefly over it before saying, "I'll keep it, then."

"Great!" Xuanyuan Ling exclaimed with a grin. Afterward, she started hesitating, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't quite gather the courage to do so. In the end, Ye Guan had no choice but to ask, "What's wrong?"

Xuanyuan Ling didn't dare to stare directly at Ye Guan as she said, "Father wants to meet you."

"Your father wants to meet me?" Ye Guan asked, somewhat surprised.

Xuanyuan Ling nodded. "Yes."

Curious, Ye Guan asked, "Why does he want to meet me?"

Xuanyuan Ling belatedly replied, "He just wants to get to know you."

Ye Guan thought over it before saying, "I'll go with you tomorrow, then!"

Xuanyuan Ling had been of great help to him. She was the representative of the Xuanyuan Clan, and if they were willing to extend goodwill to him, Ye Guan wouldn't refuse it.

Xuanyuan Ling was delighted to hear Ye Guan's words.

"All right!" she exclaimed joyfully and said, "Tomorrow evening, I'll bring you home."

Ye Guan nodded. "Okay."

"Can you teach me Sword Manipulation?" Xuanyuan Ling asked, wasting no time. She stared at Ye Guan with eyes full of anticipation.

"Sure," Ye Guan said with a smile before adding, "Unfortunately, the spiritual energy of this place is extremely thin. Even if you managed to learn it, the spiritual energy consumption—"

"I have access to spirit stones," Xuanyuan Ling interrupted with a smile.

"Sounds great." Ye Guan smiled, nodding. Then, he took out a piece of paper and started writing something on it with a pen; soon, an instruction manual about Sword Manipulation was born before Xuanyuan Ling.

Ye Guan put the pen away and said, "Follow this instruction manual. With enough spiritual energy, you won't have to use that flying... cage in the future if you ever feel like traveling somewhere."

Xuanyuan Ling hurriedly put the instruction manual away and smiled. "Thank you."

Ye Guan smiled. "Go ahead and continue practicing cultivation. I have things to do."

Xuanyuan Ling nodded with a smile. "All right."

Ye Guan turned around and left.

Left all alone, Xuanyuan Ling looked down at the instruction manual in her hand with a charming smile. She was overjoyed, but it was mostly because of Ye Guan's attitude toward her rather than the instruction manual.

Ye Guan had no romantic feelings toward her, but he had always given her whatever she needed of him. In other words, Ye Guan was the type of person to treat someone well if they were treating him well.

Just then, a young woman walked into the Sword Dao Department. She approached Xuanyuan Ling and whispered a few words into her ear. Xuanyuan Ling's brows furrowed, and her expression turned icy as she grumbled, "How audacious!"

She turned around and left in a hurry, following the young woman closely behind as they made a beeline for the entrance of the Milky Way Academy.

A crowd had gathered around the entrance, and everyone could see a young man standing before a young woman. The young woman was none other than Mu Wanyu.

Mu Wanyu was extremely beautiful, so she instantly had a myriad of admirers among her fellow students. Of course, the majority of them pursued her rationally without doing anything inappropriate, but there were always those willing to go overboard.

A young man in his twenties was standing in front of Mu Wanyu.

His looks were decent, and his posture was upright. However, the sports car parked behind him made him give off a pompous air rather than a righteous air.

The young man looked at Mu Wanyu and grinned. "Miss Mu, are you going somewhere? Come here, and let me give you a ride!"

Mu Wanyu frowned slightly and asked, "Su Zhe, can you stop bothering me?"

She had been chasing a familiar figure earlier, but her chase was cut short by Su Zhe, who blocked her just as she walked out of the academy gates. Unfortunately, the few seconds of interruption were enough for the familiar figure to disappear into a car, annoying Mu Wanyu.

Mu Wanyu was so annoyed that she had spoken bluntly, but Su Zhe didn't seem to mind it as he smiled and said, "Miss Mu, I like you. I started liking you the moment I saw you."

Mu Wanyu clenched her fists, and she didn't even bother hiding the fury in her eyes as she said, "Su Zhe, I already told you that I like someone else. Keep bothering me, and I'll report you to the Disciplinary Committee!"

"Pfft!" A young man standing next to Su Zhe burst out laughing and said, "Miss Mu, the Department Head of the Disciplinary Committee is Su Lin, and do you know who Su Lin is? He's none other than the grandfather of Brother Su here..."

Mu Wanyu frowned.

The students around them frowned as well, and quite a few of them even cast contemptuous gazes upon Su Zhe. There wasn't anything strange for a young man to chase the young woman whom he liked, but being too forceful would make just about anyone appear desperate, which was frowned upon.

However, the students dared not speak out their anger.

After all, Su Zhe had a strong background.

Those capable of confronting him wouldn't want to make enemies with him over a woman, while those without influential backgrounds were afraid to step forward and uphold justice.

It couldn't be helped; none of them wanted to get expelled, after all.

Su Zhe chuckled and said, "Miss Mu, I really like you. I know you're struggling financially, and I know that you were busy on a job hunt yesterday... Accept me, and I'll cover all your expenses in the future."

"I—" Mu Wanyu started, but a young woman rushed toward Su Zhe and slapped him.

Smack!

Su Zhe was blasted more than ten meters away!

The crowd was stunned, but their stunned looks quickly turned into stupefaction upon realizing that Xuanyuan Ling was the assailant.

Xuanyuan Ling glared coldly at Su Zhe.

Su Zhe was about to stand up, but the young woman in a suit next to Xuanyuan Ling lashed out with a kick, sending Su Zhe flying while coughing up a mouthful of blood.

The expressions of the crowd changed drastically, and they all stepped backward.

Su Zhe looked up with difficulty and was stupefied to find Xuanyuan Ling.

"Xuanyuan..." Su Zhe muttered.

Xuanyuan Ling stared indifferently at Su Zhe and said, "I really didn't expect that trash like you can become a student of the Milky Way Academy. You're tarnishing the reputation of the academy!"

Then, Xuanyuan Ling turned to the young woman in a suit and said, "I want you to take him to the Disciplinary Committee. Let his grandfather punish him. If the punishment is too light, the Xuanyuan Clan doesn't mind giving him additional punishment."

The young woman nodded lightly and dragged Su Zhe away.

Xuanyuan Ling shook her head and sighed softly. Countless people considered the Milky Way Academy a sacred academy, but Xuanyuan Ling was well-aware of just how muddy were the waters in the Milky Way Academy.

Of course, it wasn't exactly strange as even Huaxia itself was built on the vested interests of many influential people.

Someone like Su Zhen wouldn't have been able to become a student of the Milky Way Academy with his grades and attitude, but his grandfather was the Department Head of the Disciplinary Committee.

If Su Zhe's grandfather wanted to admit a certain student, would someone dare to oppose him? Unfortunately, Su Zhe's grandfather wasn't alone; there were quite a few people like him in the academy!

Xuanyuan Ling was suddenly reminded of Ye Guan. Ye Guan didn't seem to have an esteemed family background, and he was a kind person as well, which had to be the reason why—

"Miss Ling!" Mu Wanyu called out, interrupting Xuanyuan Ling's train of thought.

"T-thank you!" Mu Wanyu added. She had seen Xuanyuan Ling at Su Zi's birthday banquet. However, they weren't close, so she got curious about why Xuanyuan Ling had decided to come out to help her.

Xuanyuan Ling nodded and smiled. "Miss Wanyu, if you don't mind, how about we consider each other as sisters from now on?"

Sisters? The crowd was astonished to hear Xuanyuan Ling's remark. The Xuanyuan Clan was a super large clan in Yanjing. If Mu Wanyu became sisters with Xuanyuan Ling, no one in the Milky Way Academy would dare to bully her in the future.

How could Mu Wanyu not see the implications of Xuanyuan Ling's offer? It was exactly because she saw the implications that she hesitated, but she still ended up asking, "Did he ask you to help me?"

Xuanyuan Ling nodded slightly, not bothering to hide it.

Mu Wanyu asked in a low voice, "Where is he?"

Xuanyuan Ling replied, "He went to handle something."

Mu Wanyu nodded at the reply and looked down with a gloomy expression.

Xuanyuan Ling saw that and quickly added, "He's currently the teacher of our Milky Way Academy's Sword Dao Department!"

A teacher? Mu Wanyu looked up at Xuanyuan Ling in surprise and asked, "Really?"

Xuanyuan Ling nodded. "Yes."

Mu Wanyu hesitated briefly before asking, "Miss Ling, can I join the Sword Dao Department?"

Xuanyuan Ling smiled. "Of course you can!"

Mu Wanyu grinned and exclaimed, "Great!"

Xuanyuan Ling's gaze landed on the ring on Mu Wanyu's finger.

"That ring... was it a gift from him?"

Mu Wanyu nodded. "Yes."

Xuanyuan Ling smiled and asked, "Can I take a look?"

Mu Wanyu promptly took off the ring and handed it over to Xuanyuan Ling. contemporary romance

Xuanyuan Ling examined the ring, and a few moments later, her expression turned serious as she said, "Miss Wanyu, this ring... isn't an ordinary ring."

Mu Wanyu was puzzled. "It's not an ordinary ring?"

Xuanyuan Ling nodded and explained, "Yes, it's what we call an interspatial ring, and it's not just an ordinary interspatial ring. Anyway, do you know what's inside of it?"

"I don't know," Mu Wanyu said, shaking her head, "I don't know. He said it's his most precious possession in the Milky Way..."

His most precious possession in the Milky Way? Xuanyuan Ling was startled. She pondered briefly over something before returning the ring to Mu Wanyu.

"Miss Wanyu, that ring is extremely precious. You must keep it safe," said Xuanyuan Ling.

"I will," Mu Wanyu said firmly with a nod. Then, she wore the ring and revealed a charming smile while staring at it on her finger.

Xuanyuan Ling smiled at the sight and suggested, "Let's go; I'll take you to the Sword Dao Department. I'll give you a quick tour of our department so you'll get used to it as soon as possible."

...

Ye Guan made a beeline for the True God's residence upon leaving the Milky Way Academy. Ye Guan had a key, so he entered the residence without knocking, but the sight that unfolded before him made him freeze in shock.
