Chapter 104 Find a Chance to Kill Him
While Gao Ge is writing swiftly, Xiao Linran is sitting on the first floor of the Sword Gallery with a chair in front of him.
Lou Zhoutian is seated on the chair with an amiable smile.
“You really have the boy locked up? I think he does have quite a good temperament.”
Xiao Linran brings a jar of wine here and two china bowls. After pouring a bowl for Lou Zhoutian, he fills his bowl with wine then.
“He has a good temperament but he still needs being sharpened. I asked him to practice calligraphy not only to elevate his understanding on sword spirit but also to calm him down and keep him alone for a while. There is no harm but only benefits for him. Recently, too many people have highly commended him. Even if he is prudent and has a good temperament, it is not a good thing anyway.”
Lou Zhoutian nods his head, having no veiled words of censure.
“Actually I always want to know what the so-called Swordsmanship Peak means.” Lou Zhoutian asks.
Xiao Linran smiles, “What do you mean by Sanctification Through Confucianism?”
“To educate the world and hold a position in Confucius’s temple.” Lou Zhoutian says boldly, “An ordinary person can become the teacher of many students and a word can become the norm for the whole world.”
Xiao Linran savors the wine in the bowl carefully and thinks for a while. He puts down the bowl and says, “The so-called Swordsmanship Peak is also quite simple–Fighting single-handed for thousands of miles, with his naked dagger he could hold a multitude.”
Lou Zhoutian is a bit surprised and then bursts into laughter, “Well said. I really hope your wish can come true one day.”
“If it does come true one day, I will engrave the word with the sword in my hand–Fearless, on the highest peak in the world.”
Lou Zhoutian stares at Xiao Linran and Xiao Linran also watches Lou Zhoutian.
They are staring at each other in the same look.
After a while, Lou Zhoutian lowers his head to take a sip of wine, saying to Xiao Linran, “Your heart knot is still locked.”
“Mr. Lou.”
“Yes?”
“I still believe that Liu Zhongyi hasn’t done anything wrong.”
Lou Zhoutian sighs, “If you want to talk about that thing again, I will turn around and leave.”
Xiao Linran smiles, “Then I will talk no more.”
“If he is a swordsman, what he did is of course right. However, he is a Confucian apprentice. Since he chose to take the Confucian cultivation road, he should keep the sage’s words in mind.” Lou Zhoutian raises his head to look at the ceiling of the Sword Gallery, saying with a bitter smile, “He is also waiting for his belief to surpass the sage’s one day. When he figures it out some day, maybe he can return to the previous road. No one forces him. He turns to martial arts from Confucian cultivation by giving up his lifelong faith. That’s a kind of avoidance. He dares not to face the sage’s words and etiquette. No one can help him. I hate him not for any mistake he makes. There is no unalterable principle in the world. It’s merely that you can’t find a proper excuse to support your action.”
Xiao Linran is speechless.
He is not Confucian apprentice, so he doesn’t understand the Tao of the so-called Confucianism.
Why did he ask Gao Ge to practice calligraphy?
Why does he insist on Gao Ge’s taking the writing brush as a sword?
He just hopes that Gao Ge can write down his own principle with the sword as a pen and the universe as the paper.
This world is always unreasonable.
It has been like that in all ages. Otherwise, there won’t be so many people saying that history is recorded by victors.
See? To what extent is the world unreasonable?
Only when you grasp the sword tightly can you be qualified to reason.
As a swordsman, he is supposed to act like that...
As to Gao Ge, practicing calligraphy every day was a torture for him but as time goes by, he feels okay.
What’s more, he has been fully dedicated to it already.
For him, it is a good thing to stay here to do calligraphy.
Xiao Linran pushes open the door and walks in only to find the floor is full of spitballs.
These are all the writings that Gao Ge regards bad.
Yet, on the desk, there is a thick stack of paper that has been full written with words. Only one word has been written on the paper.
“Sword.”
Especially the last two strokes of the word sword appear quite sharp as if there are blades hidden behind them.
“Good.” Xiao Linran puts on a delighted face and can’t help praising Gao Ge.
He thought Gao Ge had to stay here for half a month before he could make such an achievement. Now he realizes that he has underestimated Gao Ge’s gift.
“How many martial meridians have you opened?” Xiao Linran asks again.
Gao Ge cups his hands in front of his chest, “Still two.”
“Haha. With only two martial meridians, you have made such rapid progress. The students in Class Heaven should feel ashamed of themselves!” Xiao Linran says smilingly.
Gao Ge says with a bitter smile, “Mr. Xiao, don’t bring more grudges for me anymore. Don’t you see I’ve already hidden here?”
Xiao Linran shakes his head and says, “I’m afraid that you cannot hide in here anymore.”
Gao Ge is at a loss.
“If it were not for some emergency out there, I would not come to find you.” Xiao Linran says, “You must go out now.”
Gao Ge asks, “What’s wrong?”
Xiao Linran thinks for a while, saying, “Let’s talk on the way.”
Gao Ge nods his head and brings the stick with him before leaving.
Following Xiao Linran, he walks out of the Sword Gallery. For a moment, Gao Ge feels a bit surprisingly unaccommodated.
“Yesterday, the Dragon Court members came and assigned some tasks. They want to select some students to carry out the task and you are on the list. Actually, in principle, the task assigned by the Dragon Court won’t be handed over to students in Class Chaos.” Xiao Linran says.
Gao Ge is a bit surprised, “The task from the Dragon Court?”
“That’s right.”
“The Dragon Court’s task is handed over to the Cultivation Academy?”
“What’s the surprise? It happened before only to train up the students in the Cultivation Academy. If the students only do whatever they like, oblivious of the world, they can hardly make a breakthrough.” Xiao Linran says with a frown, “Yet, this time, the task is a bit unusual.”
Gao Ge doesn’t speak but wait for Xiao Linran to say more.
“Usually, the Dragon Court members will bring the students in the Cultivation Academy to conduct the task together so that the students’ safety can be guaranteed. However, since the Dragon Court people don’t join the task this time, I think they must be understaffed.” Xiao Linran says, “Hence, this task must be very dangerous!”
Gao Ge doesn’t feel quite surprised.
After the aura recovery, earth-shaking changes take place in the whole world.
The lack of personnel in the Dragon Court is predictable.
“You need to execute the task in Song City together with Xia Lu, Wang Zhe and the other two students. I shall not mention who they are. After all, you don’t know them.” Xiao Linran says, “As to the task content, I am not aware of it now. In short, you must keep yourself alive.”
Unknowingly, they two have walked to an office’s door.
“Go inside. Besides, isn’t the boy called Wang Zhe your enemy? It’s a good opportunity for you now. Find a chance to kill him. Do it neatly.” Xiao Linran’s eyes are cold and his voice is silent, as if he is telling a trivial story.
