Book 3: Chapter 16: Li Jinyao

Sky-Forging Castle, inside the hut occupied by Mystery Academy.

Tang Ruowei, who had been busy all day, walked out of the hut with the others, stretched her back out, and took a deep breath.

Her nasal cavity was full of the sulfur smell, but compared with the busy day, it’s also a good relaxation. After a long day of intense mental work, the girl feels that her brain was dizzy and swollen.

After rubbing her temples, the girl was going back to her room for rest. Although she only helped to make various calculations and deductions under the command of Elder Xu, Mystery Academy’s technique still made Tang Ruowei feel quite rewarded.

But when she had just turned around and walked towards the room arranged by Sky-Forging Castle, behind her came the voice of a girl.

“Hello, junior sister.”

Tang Ruowei turned her head in surprise. A girl who was as beautiful as she appeared in front of her. That girl was wearing a long red dress with brocades, her eyes were picturesque, her black hair was like a waterfall, and she was slender. The girl’s figure was just right, one more point was fat, and one less point was thin. Her face was not as charming as Su Xiangxue, but it’s beautiful.

Looking at the girl who greeted herself suddenly, Tang Ruowei hesitated:

“Senior sister, you are…?”

“I am a disciple of Heavenly Demon Sect, and I came to help like you. My name is Li Jinyao.”

The girl gently introduced herself to Tang Ruowei:

“I watched it for a while. This time it seemed like only the two of us were girls, so I thought to come and say hello to you after a day of work and get to know you.”

“Ah, hello.”

Perhaps it was Huangfu Feng who gave her harmless impression, so Tang Ruowei didn’t react very much after hearing that the girl was a Heavenly Demon Sect’s disciple.

“Hello sister Li, I am Tang Ruowei of Qingming Sword Sect. I am… twenty-four years old, currently the Foundation Establishment stage.”

After walking on the cultivation path, the sense of time became blurry. At this time, Tang Ruowei barely remembered how old she was this year. If she hadn’t joined the Qingming Sword Sect, in the Shangxuan Kingdom, such an age meant that she was already a mother of two children.

“24-year-old, but already in the Foundation Establishment stage?”

Li Jinyao somehow felt a little more intimacy, she smiled:

“Your advancement is very close to me. It seems that junior sister Tang is not an ordinary disciple. Who is your master?”

“Yeah, it’s quite unusual.”

Tang Ruowei’s eyes flickered:

“In Qingming Sword Sect… No, it should be said that in the entire Righteous Alliance, I may be the only Foundation Establishment stage cultivator whose master is still in the Qi Refining stage…”

“Qi Refining stage…”

Li Jinyao was stunned, surprised, and said:

“Junior sister Tang, do you mean your master is the Sword Patriarch of Qingming Sword Sect?”

Tang Ruowei thought about it, then nodded and said:

“The elders of Heavenly Demon Sect, as well as the big demon I met before, did call him by that name… Do you also know him?”

“Oh, in our Evil Alliance, only some small sects don’t know about Sword Patriarch. After all, this is a matter of survival. When a disciple joins an evil sect, the first cultural class they take is about Sword Patriarch. You can say that our disciples generally don’t dare to do anything to righteous cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.”

Li Jinyao laughed:

“Not to mention, since my master accepted me as her student, she has always wanted me to target Qingming Sword Patriarch, hoping that I could surpass him one day.”

“It seems that senior sister Li is talented.”

Tang Ruowei curiously said:

“Then do you think you might surpass my Master in the future?”

“It depends on what aspect. Leaving aside the cultivation level that I have surpassed him for a long time, if it is housework like cooking and laundry, I am very confident that I’m better than him.”

Li Jinyao laughed.

“Cooking and laundry…”

Tang Ruowei was speechless.

“But in terms of strength, mentality, etc., I think maybe I can’t beat him.”

Li Jinyao smiled and said:

“After all, he has been stuck for more than three thousand years in the Qi Refining stage yet can still live to the present without giving up the hope of a breakthrough. At least I think I can’t have this level of perseverance. I once have decided that if I don’t break through in two or three years, I will give up cultivation and go back to my hometown to marry someone.”

“Marry someone…”

Tang Ruowei froze for a moment and then reacted.

Li Jinyao said she would go back to her hometown to marry someone if she doesn’t have a breakthrough in two or three years, but she is still here. Doesn’t it mean that she has walked all the way to the present and has never been stuck in a level for more than three years?

Moreover, as Tang Ruowei sensed, the true Qi in this sister’s body was calm and strong. It didn’t seem to be a quick advance exercise usually found in demonic cultivation. It’s clear that every step was cultivated to a satisfactory level before breaking through.

Like my master, this is another monster.

She secretly panicked.

However, Li Jinyao did not react, and she nodded with a smile when she heard Tang Ruowei muttering to herself:

“Yes, marrying someone, don’t you think it’s better to find a good husband and spend the whole life with him as a family? After all, no one knows whether or not a demonic cultivator can ascend to immortality. By the way, when it comes to this…Sister Ruowei, when will you have a chance, can you introduce me to Sword Patriarch?”

“What?”

Tang Ruowei said:

“I think you don’t need my help…but what do you do when you see him?”

“Look at whether he is suitable for me.”

Li Jinyao blinked and replied without thinking:

“My ideal husband must fulfill some conditions. First, he must be stronger than me, so in the future, he can protect me and our family. Second, his cultivation can’t exceed me too much, otherwise, he will ascend in the future, leaving me alone… Thinking about it, Sword Patriarch has matched both conditions, I just want to see if it’s suitable or not.”

“Ah, no, this…”

Tang Ruowei didn’t know how to answer. Li Jinyao was obviously the future leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, but she thought of marrying every day. She remembered Su Xiangxue, who was the leader of the Kamasutra Sect but was still a virgin.

Are all demonic cultivators that strange?

The girl forgot to look at her efforts to practice the body-building exercises in order to change her life, which was also very strange in the eyes of other disciples of Qingming Sword Sect.

After thinking about it, Tang Ruowei said:

“Not to mention this, Sister Li, if your Master knows your plan, will she definitely not agree?”

“Of course she won’t agree, but it doesn’t matter. At most two hundred years, the master is not my opponent.”

Li Jinyao smiled like a flower.

“It will be a big deal to bully the teacher and destroy the ancestors. Anyway, that’s our motto.”

Tang Ruowei saw that Li Jinyao was determined to meet, and thought about Bai Qiuran’s usual annoying look, so she replied:

“Well, when the Master is free, I will introduce you to my sister… But let me say it first. My Master’s mouth is particularly annoying. If you can’t stand it, don’t fight with him at that time. You can’t beat him.”
