“Today’s Four Swords of Profound Sky have become five swords.” Hearing this, Wan Yitong said with a faint smile, “There is one more sword, Du Qiying.”

　　“Du Qiying?” Lin Xuanzhi raised a slight eyebrow.

　　“That’s right, it’s your former Eldest Martial Brother, Du Qiying.” Wan Yitong laughed contemptuously. “Du Qiying planned to take your place not long after you left. However, Master only said a single sentence: ‘Lin Xuanzhi will come back one day.’ The elders in the sect immediately favored your side and didn’t allow him to take your place no matter what others said. But Du Qiying has the backing of Broken Sword Peak’s Peak Master, who has the Sect Master supporting him. After much deliberation, the Sect Master turned Profound Sky’s Four Swords into Profound Sky’s Five Swords.”

　　He was fit to take that t.i.tle?

　　Lin Xuanzhi’s face looked like he had eaten dog p.o.o.p. Wan Yitong looked at his face especially. He laughed with joy, “Do you feel humiliated? Having the same t.i.tle as that kind of vile person; I might as well find a piece of tofu to smash me to death. It’s a disgrace and a disappointment.”

　　Most cultivators cherished their reputation, and Lin Xuanzhi was no exception.

　　Du Qiying, this treacherous, murderous, and despicable person, had actually become a man of equal standing with him. If Lin Xuanzhi was pettier, or if his heart was not strong enough, he would have drawn his sword to find trouble for Du Qiying right now.

　　Lin Xuanzhi’s voice was slightly cold, “His happiness will not last long. The Four Swords of Profound Sky are the Four Swords of Profound Sky; it won’t do to have even one more.”

　　At the very least, that “one more” absolutely couldn’t be such a sc.u.mbag like Du Qiying!

　　“Ah.” Wan Yitong was happy. “How come you said the same thing that Yuan Tianwen said? Yuan Tianwen also said before that he would never admit Du Qiying’s position as the fifth sword; oh, how that offended Du Qiying…Tsk tsk, but I also admire Yuan Tianwen’s courage, brazenly offending so many people with fear.”

　　“Why don’t you look at who his father is.” Hai Kuanglang cut in, “Half of Profound Sky Sect’s annual revenue is supported by the Yuan family. Even the Sect Master still has to shrink his head and pay his respects if he saw Elder Su as though he’s from a younger generation. So what if Yuan Tianwen’s curses a few words?”

　　“Watch your mouth.” Zhan Fengting frowned.

　　Hai Kuanglang nodded hastily, “You’re right. I can’t just casually speak the truth.”

　　Zhan Fengting, “….”

　　Yan Tianhen heard a familiar name and couldn’t help turning his head and looking at Wan Yitong.

　　“You guys know Brother Tianwen?”

　　“That’s for sure. Besides your Dage, who’s always cultivating nonstop, most of Profound Sky Sect’s top disciples know each other. Yuan Tianwen and I have a fairly good relations.h.i.+p.” Wan Yitong commented, “Speaking of Yuan Tianwen, this rascal, this is sacrificing him for the benefit of our entire Profound Sky Sect. During this period, the disciples are all talking about his matters. Without him, how lonely and spa.r.s.e these days would be!”

　　Hai Kuanglang swept Lin Xuanzhi a glance. “I heard that you have a good relations.h.i.+p with him recently; did he successfully chase his wife? What in the world is the matter with Han Yuran? Before, he even personally took Han Yuran up the mountain. How come, after just attending a Hundred Families Gathering, he crippled the person’s cultivation and even started chasing after someone else? I’m so curious to death.”

　　“He pretty much caught his wife.” Lin Xuanzhi also smiled, “It’s a long story.”

　　“Tell me, tell me.” Wan Yitong was interested.

　　Lin Xuanzhi laughed, “Indeed, it’s a long story. We’ll talk about it later if we have the chance.”

　　Wan Yitong nodded, “I have to know sooner or later.”

　　“How did he catch his wife? Someday I’ll have to find him and ask him to teach me his experience.” Hai Kuanglang touched his chin thoughtfully.

　　Yan Tianhen spoke up, “I know what Yuan Dage’s experience is.”

　　“Speak!” Hai Kuanglang demanded.

　　“Shamelessly losing his own face while pestering and hara.s.sing non-stop despite continual setbacks.” Yan Tianhen said solemnly.

　　Hai Kuanglang, “….”

　　Wan Yitong, “….”

　　Even Zhan Fengting couldn’t help laughing, “That’s hard to imagine.”

　　Wan Yitong also nodded. “It’s hard to imagine that Yuan Tianwen, an arrogant, proud, and spoiled Young Master of a distinguished family, can actually do such a shameless thing like pestering someone nonstop without any regard to face. The sun is really rising on the west side.”

　　Hai Kuanglang had a thoughtful expression. “Actually, we can learn from his experience.”

　　Wan Yitong and Zhan Fengting both looked askance at him.

　　Wan Yitong said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, “Second Martial Brother, Master said that if you dare to make Master lose face outside, he will beat you half to death.”

　　Hai Kuanglang snorted scornfully, “When did I make Master lose face when I went out? I just lost face for him when I’m at home, that’s all.”

　　Wan Yitong, “….”

　　He spoke as if he was very proud of that.

　　Bei s.h.i.+tian also noticed the conversation here and took his sword, walking to their side.

　　“Senior Martial Brothers, Junior Martial Brothers.” Bei s.h.i.+tian’s voice was cold. His entire person looked like a sword; he stood straight up, with red lips and white teeth, his facial features outstanding with his long hair tied high on the back of his head. His entire person carried a piercing, murderous aura.

　　As soon as he came, neither tiger cub was willing to come near his side.

　　Zhan Fengting frowned, “The cold Qi on your body feels thicker.”

　　Bei s.h.i.+tian was unconcerned as he said lightly, “I’m afraid Senior Martial Brother is mistaken.”

　　“You dare say that Senior Martial Brother is wrong?” Hai Kuanglang narrowed his eyes dangerously and glared at Bei s.h.i.+tian. “You’d better pay attention to it. Your body is your own; no one else can help you with that.”

　　Bei s.h.i.+tian pursed his lips. “I’ll pay attention to it. Senior Martial Brother need not worry.”

　　“Who worries about you? Don’t put gold on your face.” Wan Yitong scowled, “If something happens to you, Eldest Martial Brother and Master will have to be busy taking care of you, wasting their strength and energy.”

　　“That’s what I meant.” Hai Kuanglang nodded, “You’re not young anymore, so you shouldn’t be so willful.”

　　Bei s.h.i.+tian didn’t seem to be good at expressing himself. He moved his lips but did not say anything in the end.
