Chapter 176: I Can’t Teach You About Love

Xiao Yu walked out from the bushes and handed the wooden sword to Jiang Lan.

“Did Junior Brother’s training go smoothly?”

She lifted her foot carefully, as if she was worried that she might step on a flower.

The flowers she took care of.

“It went quite smoothly,” Jiang Lan said as he received the wooden sword.

Xiao Yu was indeed still waiting for him to help her enhance the Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent. It still felt pretty weird.

However, he would not refuse.

“Junior Brother, did you go to a bustling place?”

Jiang Lan and Xiao Yu walked into the courtyard.

“Yes, I have even bought something for Senior Sister.”

On the way, Jiang Lan took out the candied fruit and handed it to Xiaoyu.

“Candied fruit?” Xiaoyu took the two skewers of candied fruits and tested them with her mouth before smiling.

“So that’s the smell. Both skewers are for me?”

“Mn.” Jiang Lan nodded slightly.

He did not see any displeasure or disgust on Xiao Yu’s face.

He then let out a sigh of relief.

“By the way,” Xiao Yu reminded Jiang Lan.

“I’m really not a child. The me you saw before was the real me. My current appearance is to make it easier for us to go out. ”

Xiao Yu had already explained it.

Except…

The way she ate the candied fruit caused what she said to be a little less convincing.

Of course, Jiang Lan didn’t treat Xiao Yu like a child.

She didn’t look like a child now. However, he felt that her personality was pretty innocent.

Her usual look did not give him such a feeling.

Arrogance.

Silence.

Rejecting everyone near her.

“Junior Brother has already embedded the Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent more than ten times. Do you want me to teach you Dragon Language?”

At this moment, Jiang Lan was sitting in his seat while Xiao Yu was sitting at the side.

Jiang Lan nodded without hesitation.

“Okay.”

He had learned some Dragon Language and could roughly understand it but he couldn’t be considered proficient in it.

There were indeed some benefits after learning it.

With Xiao Yu around, it was impossible for him to cultivate. Thus, learning the Dragon Language was not a bad idea.

“Then let’s start learning from writing Dragon Language. It shouldn’t look good at the beginning. The Dragon Language is more difficult to write.” Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Lan and smiled.

Jiang Lan was silent.

It came back to the topic of writing again.

It had been more than fifty years.

Why hadn’t she forgotten about it?

Jiang Lan remained silent.

Now that he was embedding the wooden sword with Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent, he naturally had no time to learn.

He could only learn it the next time.

He had just returned and had many things to do.

That evening.

Jiang Lan sent Xiao Yu off the Ninth Summit.

Just when he thought Xiao Yu was going to return to the Jade Pool on her sword, Xiao Yu stopped moving.

She just stood there and looked at him.

“Senior Senior, did you forget something?” Jiang Lan asked.

“Return it to me.” Xiaoyu extended her hand towards Jiang Lan.

This surprised Jiang Lan.

“Senior Sister, what do you mean?”

“My Autumn Sword.” Xiao Yu reminded.

“I lent it to you for this trip.”

Jiang Lan finally remembered.

He then took out her Autumn Sword and placed it in Xiao Yu’s hand.

“Senior Sister’s sword.”

He did not explain much. It was fine as long as he returned it.

“Then I’ll be going back. Next time, I’ll come over to teach you Dragon Language.”

Xiao Yu walked towards the Jade Pool with a smile.

As he watched Xiao Yu disappear into the horizon, Jiang Lan headed towards the peak of the Ninth Summit to meet his master. At the same time, he would pass the good wine and beef to his master.

Xiaoyu did not hate candied fruits, but his master might not like it.

…

Xiao Yu flew towards the Jade Pool.

With the last stick of candied fruit in her mouth, she examined the Autumn Sword in her hand.

“There are no signs of it being used. Is it because he did not need to use a sword while out training, or is it because he’s too embarrassed to use it?”

She was puzzled.

She had hoped that her Autumn Sword could help Jiang Lan.

However, her Junior Brother was not injured and looked much better than before he left.

Something must have happened. And it went well.

She put away her sword and started eating the candied fruit.

Was it delicious?

It wasn’t exactly delicious, but she liked this little thing.

Perhaps it was because no one had ever given her a gift.

Or rather, no one had ever given her a present.

Even if it was just simple food.

She wouldn’t take it from anyone else.

However, she was able to accept her fiancé’s present with peace of mind. She didn’t want to let down Jiang Lan’s good intentions.

If Jiang Lan had given her something expensive, she definitely had to give a return gift.

But there was no need for it this time.

…

“Master, wine.” Jiang Lan stood at the peak of the Ninth Summit and handed the item to his master.

Mo Zhengdong looked at the wine and beef, not knowing what to say.

It was nothing new.

It was even less creative than his gifts.

The first time, he had gifted Jiang Lan with an animal egg… Or rather a vegetative egg.

The second time, he had given him a Udumbara Flower.

Other than good wine, his disciple knew of nothing else to gift him.

It was rare for him to go out for training this time, and he had even added some beef with sauce as part of the gift package.

“You brought something for the Goddess?”

Mo Zhengdong asked.

“Two sticks of candied fruits,” Jiang Lan replied.

Mo Zhengdong looked at Jiang Lan in surprise.

Finally, he said earnestly.

“I can’t teach you this. When you have time, go ask your Martial Aunts from the Third and Fifth Summit.”

Jiang Lan was silent.

He simply bought something out of convenience.

Why did he have to consult those two martial aunts?

Besides, those two might be female cultivators, but—

They still had yet to find a partner.

Speaking of this, Jiang Lan recalled his Martial Aunt of the Fifth Summit. She had said that she had admired his master for a long time.

She had even asked him to play the matchmaker.

Furthermore, his master was still single.

Should he ask?

“This feels a little sudden. Let’s wait and figure it out.”

He had already become an immortal, and his master was getting old.

It was human nature to care about the lives of the elderly.

However, he was more concerned about whether his Martial Aunt had told him the truth or was she just making fun of him.

He could ask his master about his feelings when he was free.

“Did you gain anything from your trip this time?” Mo Zhengdong asked.

These few years weren’t long, but it should be extremely important to Jiang Lan, so he wanted to get a rough understanding of it.

At the very least, he wanted to know if there was an opportunity for Jiang Lan to become an immortal.

“There are some gains and I have gotten a type of enlightenment. My future path will be much easier.” Jiang Lan said softly.

He had already become an immortal, but his future path was not that easy.

However, it was much easier compared to before.

It was all thanks to his master’s thousand years’ worth of providence that everything went so smoothly.

Although he had only gotten a pill from signing in.

However, the Creation Pill played an extremely important role in allowing him to become an immortal.

Mo Zhengdong nodded. That was good. There was no need to ask anything else.

“Master, I’m curious about something.” Jiang Lan looked at Mo Zhengdong and said,

“The owner of the old wine tavern told me that he had made you pay a price for this book.”

Jiang Lan then took out the book.

Two words were written on the book: Catoptric Deflection.

This place should have records of the spiritual inn.

Jiang Lan had yet to take a look and would only be free after some time.

He had just returned and had many things to do.

“Nothing much. It was just to find some body tempering spirit herbs for his grandson.” Mo Zhengdong shook his head slightly.

Jiang Lan lowered his eyebrows.

His master had spoken casually.

But the inn owner was powerful to begin with, yet he still needed his master’s help.

No matter how he thought about it, the matter should not be as simple as what his master says.
