Chapter 7.1

Before she knew it, the sky was getting dark.

Lu Qingyuan rubbed her neck, feeling extremely sore. She couldn’t help but look in Feng Shao’s direction, only to see that he had gone to the bookshelf far behind at some point. If Feng Shao had read all the books on the bookshelves along the way, he might have read hundreds of ancient books.

Lu Qingyuan couldn’t help being curious. Wasn’t he tired after reading so many books? Doesn’t he feel bored?

Looking back at herself, she seemed to have only read a hundred or so books this afternoon, far inferior to Feng Shao. Even with such a large difference in their efficiency, Lu Qingyuan already felt tired and bored.

But having said that, in Lu Qingyuan’s impression, Feng Shao seems to have been very busy ever since the first day she started being an apprentice to the sect, and she rarely saw him having leisure time.

She couldn’t help but look out the window, only to see a round full moon had quietly leaped above the branches, flawlessly shining silver light.

Suddenly, a question popped up in her mind.

Under such a quiet and lonely moonlight, how many nights had Feng Shao spent in this Scripture Pavilion by himself?

Strange to say, in the past, Lu Qingyuan still respected Feng Shao very much in her heart, and was also grateful for Feng Shao’s deliberate care.

But she didn’t know when she started to feel alienated from Feng Shao, and instead, she had a little preference for the junior brother who just started cultivating.

Obviously, the little junior brother has a lot of problems, but she just felt this was true temperament.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

What was wrong with her?

While in a trance, Feng Shao suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

“I finally found it! It really didn’t make itself easy for me to find it!”

Lu Qingyuan hurriedly looked towards Feng Shao, only to see him holding an ancient book, and the joy on his face was beyond words.

Lu Qingyuan was curious and couldn’t help asking.

“Senior Brother Feng, what did you find?”

Feng Shao couldn’t help being startled when he heard her words and looked at Lu Qingyuan.

“Junior Sister Lu? You haven’t left yet?”

“…” Lu Qingyuan was speechless.

Didn’t you ask me to read the ancient books for you? You won’t let me go, do I dare to go?

Seeing that Lu Qingyuan was silent, Feng Shao slapped his forehead and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Junior Sister Lu, I forgot that I asked you for help just now, I’m sorry!”

Lu Qingyuan smiled helplessly, “It’s okay. But senior brother, have you found the relevant records of Bifang Crane?”

Feng Shao nodded.

“Then can I ask why Senior Brother Feng sought the Bifang Crane’s information?”

Lu Qingyuan asked again.

“This… Senior Brother will keep it a secret for the time being,” Feng Shao mysteriously smiled. “But I can tell you, this thing is very important to our sect.”

Judging by Feng Shao’s expression, it seemed that he was very happy to have found the information he needed.

Lu Qingyuan hesitated for a moment, then said, “Senior Brother Feng, I have a heartfelt request.”

“What’s the matter?”

Feng Shao looked down at the ancient book and spoke without raising his head.

“Senior Brother Feng, can you return Junior Brother Ye’s Red Dragon Sword to him?”

Hearing this, Feng Shao raised his head and said, “What Red Dragon Sword?”

Lu Qingyuan was startled for a moment and then she couldn’t help feeling a little annoyed. Was it interesting to pretend to be stupid at this time?

However, at this moment, Feng Shao took out Ye Chen’s red longsword from the storage ring, and asked, “Is this the sword that Junior Sister Lu is asking about?”

Lu Qingyuan nodded and said, “Senior brother Feng, I know that what me and my junior brother did today was very wrong, but after all, my junior brother only has this weapon. If he doesn’t have this weapon, he will have a hard time when going out in the future. I hope Senior Brother Feng will forgive Junior Brother Ye for his disrespect this time, and return this sword to him. If it doesn’t work, Junior Sister can also exchange it with other things that Senior Brother needs.”

Feng Shao looked at Lu Qingyuan with a half-smile, and asked, “Junior Sister Lu, are you thinking I’m greedy for Junior Brother Ye Chen’s weapon?”

Lu Qingyuan quickly said, “Of course not, it’s just…”

“Okay, Junior Sister Lu, no need to say more,” Feng Shao waved his hand, and continued, “I can’t return this sword to Junior Brother Ye Chen, and I did it for his own good.”

Lu Qingyuan couldn’t help frowning. Taking away other people’s weapons and saying it was for the good of others? What was the reason for this?

But then she heard Feng Shao say, “Junior Sister Lu, you said this sword is called ‘Red Dragon Sword’? Where did you hear this name?”

Lu Qingyuan said indifferently, “This is when Junior Brother Ye was traveling down the mountain, he found a mysterious weapon in an unnamed mountain stream. Junior Brother Ye didn’t know the origin of this sword, but because he saw that it was as red as blood, and when he waved it, there was a faint roar of a dragon at the time, it was named ‘Red Dragon Sword’.”

“Heh, the sound of a dragon roar?”

Feng Shao couldn’t help laughing.

Lu Qingyuan frowned again, and couldn’t help asking, “Why are you laughing, senior brother?”

“Junior Sister Lu, when this sword is brandished, the sound it makes is not the roar of dragons, but the sound of resentful spirits! Don’t you realize that when Ye Chen wields this sword, you will feel moved? Like being shaken or awed by a god?”

Lu Qingyuan was startled.

Feng Shao caressed the blood-red sword’s body, and said lightly, “The real name of this sword is not ‘Red Dragon Sword,’ but ‘Blood Refining Sword,’ which is the sword of Blood Wing, one of the ‘Four Evils of the Demon Path’ in the past.”
