Chapter 58: Blowing Hot and Cold

In the end, Feng Xia followed him to the Moon Pavilion.
The reason was simple—
He just wanted to take a look. It was free anyway.
It had been a while but the Moon Pavilion did not look any different from when he came the last time. It was still as elegant and exquisite as before.
Standing in the middle of this hall, Liu Chuanyuan’s temperament seemed extremely harmonious with the environment.
It was as if he was not a swordsman wielding a sword, but an elegant noble.
“Fellow practitioner Feng, I have a request.”
Suddenly, Liu Chuanyuan took a step forward, cupped his fists, and bowed deeply to Feng Xia. “If I don’t manage to return from this battle, please help me tell Lei Shao…”
“The 13 pillars of the Moon Pavilion are actually the 13 sword diagrams!”
What what what?
What are you talking about?
Feng Xia was confused. “What 13 swords? What sword diagram?”
“If I’m not wrong, fellow practitioner Feng seems to have a way to leave this place. In the event you find yourself in a desperate situation, you can leave the Thousand Autumn Valley at any time, right?” Liu Chuanyuan did not give an answer directly. Instead, he smiled meaningfully and said, “In that case, fellow practitioner Feng can come and take a look at my 13 sword diagrams.”
“If that moment comes, as long as fellow practitioner Feng can leave, then at least I have left behind an inheritance.”
I am not, I do not. Don’t spout nonsense!
Feng Xia wanted to answer like this, but when he looked in the direction that Liu Chuanyuan was pointing, he was stunned.
He could see the 13 thick pillars standing on the first floor of the Moon Pavilion.
The last time Feng Xia came to the Moon Pavilion, he had noticed these pillars as well. There were exquisite relief carvings on them. It was of a swordsman dancing with a sword, and using the sword like a pen to unleash the spiritness in his chest.
However, he did not pay attention to them the last time. Now that he observed them carefully, he quickly discovered something different.
“This is…”
Feng Xia’s perfect Sword-Heart suddenly jumped a few times.
At this moment, the sword diagrams in his field of vision came to life one after another. The swordsmen in the diagrams moved in different ways, either slashing, lifting, or stabbing… They enacted a mind-blowing sword technique as if they had a life of their own!
It was different from the three great sword techniques of the Thousand Autumn Valley. It was ever-changing, ever-strange and ever-domineering…
The sword techniques on the 13 pillars were even more majestic. It made people feel as if they were looking at an unparalleled swordsman who traveled the world with his sword and defeated all the heroes in the world!
“This set of sword techniques was compiled by Lei Shao and me back in the past. It was meant to be a sword technique to surpass the three great sword techniques. However, due to fate and coincidence, we had a falling out, so this set of sword techniques was put aside indefinitely.”
A big smile appeared on Liu Chuanyuan’s handsome face.
The smile contained thoughts and feelings that Feng Xia could not understand.
The Sixth Elder paused for a moment and suddenly puffed out his chest proudly. “However, I haven’t been idle all these years. I’ve completely mastered the first 12 moves of the set of sword techniques.”
At this point, he looked a little sad. “It’s a pity that the Xuanwu imperial court came so quickly. If I have another 10 years, perhaps I can master the 13th move as well.”
Could this be what was known as… lingering residual love?!
No, no, it was too strange to use this phrase on two old men. Better not to continue thinking in this direction…
Feng Xia opened his mouth and deliberated for a long time before he spoke.
“Why don’t you give such an important thing to him personally?”
“Give it to him personally?”
Upon hearing Feng Xia’s words, Liu Chuanyuan’s expression instantly darkened. There was a sullen look on his aged face as he squeezed out a few words, “He! Can! Only! Wish!”
“If I give it to him personally, doesn’t that mean that I admit that I’ve taken the wrong path and am inferior to him with regard to the Ways of the Sword? Fellow practitioner Feng, this is impossible. Don’t ever mention this again in the future!”
Liu Chuanyuan waved his sleeve and said sternly.
Feng Xia said nothing. “…”
I am just asking casually. Why do you need to shout so loudly?
Moreover, Liu Chuanyuan’s exceptionally intense reaction made him slightly puzzled instead. Exactly what had happened between this fellow and First Elder Lei Shao in the past?
Based on his observations over the past few days, even if it could be said that the two men did not have a good relationship, the fact was that the First Elder and the Sixth Elder had maintained very good chemistry.
It was just not obvious to ordinary people.
Yet, one could not say that the two of them had a close relationship because most of the time, as soon as they mentioned each other, the two men would gnash their teeth and wish they could immediately fight each other to the death!
“Something problematic… must have happened in their past!”
Feng Xia secretly thought of a plan, but on the surface, he nodded. “Fellow practitioner, don’t worry. I won’t mention it again.”
Hearing Feng Xia’s promise, Liu Chuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief. A smile appeared on his face again.
“If that’s the case, I’ll go into seclusion as well. Fellow practitioner Feng, please feel free to walk around.”
With that, Liu Chuanyuan bid farewell to Feng Xia.
Not long after, the huge Moon Pavilion was quiet again. Feng Xia stood there alone, turning left and right, walking past the sword diagrams on the pillars.
With Feng Xia’s current soul power, his memory was close to being photographic.
It did not take long for him to completely memorize the 13 sword diagrams, to the extent that in the zifu between his eyebrows, a small Feng Xia suddenly stood up on one of the green lotuses and used his finger as a sword to start practicing this set of sword techniques.
“Speaking of which, I forgot to ask just now. What’s the name of this set of sword techniques?”
Feng Xia walked out of Moon Pavilion unhurriedly. Before he could walk far, another tall figure suddenly blocked his path.
“Fellow practitioner Feng, are you willing to come to my Zhenmu Courtyard for a chat?” Lei Shao’s voice was loud and clear as he laughed heartily.
“Of course… Wait!”
After Feng Xia agreed, he suddenly realized that this scene seemed a little familiar… No, no, no, it was not just familiar. It had clearly just happened!
He followed Lei Shao to the simply decorated Zhenmu Courtyard. Just as the First Elder turned around, Feng Xia spoke first.
“Fellow practitioner Lei, what are you going to tell me next… don’t tell me you’re going to pass me a set of sword techniques and ask me to pass it to the Sixth Elder, Liu Chuanyuan, at an appropriate time?”
“Fellow practitioner Feng, I have a request.”
At the exact same time, Lei Shao said with a solemn expression, “If I don’t return after this battle, please help me tell Liu Chuanyuan… Wait, fellow practitioner Feng, how do you know?!”
Feng Xia squeezed out a few words with much difficulty,”…I’m able to predict it.”
Lei Shao was stunned for a moment before he said in surprise, “Fellow practitioner Feng is indeed an extraordinary expert. You can actually see through my intentions at a glance. Fellow practitioner is right. I indeed have a set of sword techniques. I would like to ask fellow practitioner Feng to spar with me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly drew his sword!
