Immortal Soaring Blade

Vol.2-Chapter 259 – The King Told Me to Patrol the Mountain

After she spoke, everyone else understood what she meant. She didn’t like speaking and was very concise with her words. Song Rujing didn’t really care; she just had to follow her big brother. However, Song Rujing just didn’t like Ling Bo Re. Yesterday, she was still like a normal person, but today she acted like she didn’t even know them. She spoke very few words and often ignored them.

Facing Ling Bo Re’s cold attitude, Song Yuansheng was not annoyed. He frowned and said, “How about this, Senior Sister Ling? When we get close, we’ll hide our cultivation and pretend to be mortals to see what the situation is like. If we can get in direct contact with their higher-ups, then we can catch them all at once. If there is an accident, we’ll do our best to exterminate them all.”

“That’s fine.” Ling Bo Re didn’t even think before speaking. Then she turned and had her back toward the three of them. They were already used to this.

Then Song Yuansheng looked at Zhao Jiuge and said, “Don’t worry, if there is any accident my little sister and I will protect you. If the information inside the jade tube is correct, the strongest cultivator on their side is only at the Nascent Soul Realm. Even if we can’t destroy them, we should have more than enough power to ensure our safety.

Zhao Jiuge gently nodded and didn’t say anything. He had been holding something back, and he would prove his strength with action.

In truth, Yuan Yixiu had told the Song siblines to help Zhao Jiuge. Hua Lingsu had told Ling Bo Re the same. It was just with her personality, she wouldn’t reveal it.

The Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect and the Hundred Flower Valley had a relationship in the past. However, due to the matter between Jian Wuxian and Hua Lingsu, that relationship had faded a bit. But it was still there.

Although Yuan Yixiu and Jian Wuxian had only a shallow friendship due to the circumstances at the exchange, they had to make a decision. The Nameless Temple disregarded all worldly affairs and only focused on cultivating.

Yue Hua Academy, the Ten Thousand Dao Sect, and the Great Barbarian Sect had obviously joined forces. Xuan Yixiu didn’t want to conspire with wolves, so he naturally chose to team up with the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect and the Hundred Flower Valley. Although their foundation was strong, if they faced off against multiple holy lands at once, they would inevitably fall.

Subsequently, Song Yuansheng and Zhao Jiuge discussed the details of the plan a bit more. Song Rujing occasionally interjected a few words.

When the details of the mission were settled, the flying boat became quiet. Aside from Song Yuansheng, who occasionally checked the surroundings, everyone was resting.

They quickly rushed toward Southern Pond Mountain in the Liu Province.

In the blink of an eye, one and half months passed by. The four of them had spent most of this time on the flying boat. Occasionally, they would stop at a nearby river to rest.

According to the original plan, the seven of them were supposed to head to the Great Barbarian Sect to rest, then head out to their missions. However, because some of them didn’t like Ye Aotian’s group, they decided not to head to the Great Barbarian Sect and instead went directly to the Liu Province.

During this time, the relationship between the four of them had gotten better. Although Ling Bo Re was still cold, she would occasionally join in on their conversations. However, whenever Zhao Jiuge deliberately tried to close the distance, she would return to her cold self. Whenever that happened, the Song siblings would enjoy watching him suffer. Zhao Jiuge would ignore the three of them and go cultivate on his own.

During this time, Zhao Jiuge’s understanding of the sword art became more profound and the power of his sword energy increased. The closer they got to their destination, the more excited and nervous Zhao Jiuge became.

When the flying boat flew over a stretch of mountains, Song Yuansheng reminded everyone, “Southern Pond Mountain is not far away. Tonight we’ll adjust ourselves and tomorrow we’ll walk to our destination. Hide your auras and put away all your treasures.”

Ling Bo Re didn’t make any sound, but she controlled the flying boat to descend. The moment the boat landed, Song Rujing excitedly wandered off. This trip had made her very bored.

“Come back. This place is not far from Southern Pond Mountain. We need to be careful.” Song Yuansheng was vigilant because he could see the mountain in the distance. They were already very close.

Hearing this, Song Rujing was a bit unhappy but obediently came back. Though she was a bit willful, she knew what was proper. This was why no one disliked her.

They were now near the target location, and Ling Bo Re’s expression subconsciously became heavy. They were surrounded by a jungle, and the four of them picked a high ground to rest on.

“Tonight, me and Jiuge will take turns guarding us. You two can rest. If anything happens, don’t panic, just follow our plan,” Song Yuansheng said earnestly while looking at the other three.

The other three naturally had no objections, then they put away their treasures. The Song siblings changed out of their daoist robes into more casual pink and black robes.

At this moment, the sky gradually darkened and it was about to become night. After tonight, they would face unknown danger. Zhao Jiuge felt his palms become a little sweaty.

Song Rujing was already impatiently playing around. They were surrounded by a jungle with plenty of spirit herbs and fruits. They were close to the Barbarian Forest, so these things were abundant, but they weren’t very precious. The little girl was happily gathering them. After all, the month and half trip had made her very bored.

Song Yuansheng helplessly shook his head at this. He sat down on a towering boulder. While he cultivated, he was surveying the area.

Zhao Jiuge was a bit idle. They had traveled on the flying boat the entire way and hadn’t consumed any spirit force. He was at his peak, and he only needed to wait for tomorrow to arrive.

Ling Bo Re didn’t stay here and instead walked to a lower elevation. Her walk was very beautiful and her dress swayed gracefully.

Zhao Jiuge suddenly noticed this and hesitated for a bit before he followed her.

When Zhao Jiuge followed her down, he saw an unexpected scene. She was not as cold as before and looked relaxed. She was sitting on a large rock beside the river with her bare feet swaying leisurely in the clear river. At this moment, she was like an ordinary woman; she had put down all the burdens on her shoulders.

When Zhao Jiuge followed, he stepped on some branches, and this movement alerted Ling Bo Re. Her expression became cold once more and she looked at Zhao Jiuge with an unfriendly gaze. “Who allowed you to follow?”

Hearing the cold, familiar voice, Zhao Jiuge didn’t retreat but slowly arrived beside Ling Bo Re. He took off his boots and copied Ling Bo Re, placing his feet inside the clear river.

Feeling Zhao Jiuge sitting down, she smelled the mascline scent coming from his body. Ling Bo Re felt like the atmosphere was a bit strange and wanted to leave. However, from the corner of her eye, she saw an expression she had never seen from him before. After hesitating a bit, she didn’t move.

Zhao Jiuge was sitting beside Ling Bo Re. He looked at the tender, white feet in the river and smelled the fragrance from her body. Zhao Jiuge felt his heart ripple. He was now able to sit so close to the figure he had always dreamed of.

Seeing Zhao Jiuge sitting there in a trance, Ling Bo Re revealed an unhappy expression. She didn’t like such an ambiguous atmosphere, not to mention she was sitting next to a man. She only stayed because she thought he had something to say.

Ling Bo Re had a complicated expression toward Zhao Jiuge. When they first met, he was just an ordinary child. She didn’t expect the gap between them to have closed so much when they met again. All this had made her a little curious, but that was it—she felt nothing toward Zhao Jiuge. Seeing Zhao Jiuge remain in a trace, Ling Bo Re was ready to leave.

Zhao Jiuge finally reacted and became very bold. His right hand reached out toward Ling Bo Re’s waist and pulled her back onto the huge rock.

“What do you think you’re doing?!” An angry yell came from Ling Bo Re. This made her very angry. and even killing intent leaked out. No one had touched her body beside her own teacher, much less a man. At this moment, she even thought about killing Zhao Jiuge.

“Hmph, if you want to hit me, then hit me. I can’t beat you anyways. However, just because I can’t beat you now, that doesn’t mean I can’t beat you in the future. I have said it before, that I'll beat you one day.” Zhao Jiuge didn’t back down due to Ling Bo Re’s anger. He was like a dead pig that wasn’t afraid of boiling water and continued, “You look very pretty when you smile. Why do you always have such a cold expression?”

Ling Bo Re sat back down beside Zhao Jiuge and stared at his face. Her chest was heaving slightly, but her anger dissipated when she heard Zhao Jiuge’s final words.

Then her expression became complicated and she turned away from Zhao Jiuge. She looked at the clear river and coldly said, “I said we are not a match, it's impossible. I don’t want a lover, so you can give up on the idea. Don’t bother me, or we can’t even be friends. Don’t make me hate you!”
