I Have A Sword

Chapter 1100: Havent We Met Before?

Chapter 1100: Haven't We Met Before?

Ye Guan's words carried a hint of bitterness. Over the years, his weeks were basically a day of minor beatings followed by five days of heavy beatings. His enemies were always far stronger than him. Showing off? It was a pipe dream!

Now that he was back on his own turf, he could finally show off.

However, it seemed like it still wasn't all that special either.

Ye Guan didn't teach An Mujin his own swordsmanship but instead gave him the inheritance of another swordsman. Ye Guan didn't think that his swordsmanship was worthy of being passed down on to others. In his eyes, he wasn't qualified. Of course, giving a bit of guidance was perfectly fine.

Meanwhile, An Mujin developed a deep sense of reverence toward Ye Guan. Ye Guan was always capable of pinpointing the exact issues he was facing and correcting them. It was terrifying.

An Mujin had completely accepted that he was inferior to Ye Guan. More than that, he was grateful that he had encountered someone so powerful.

After Ye Guan finished giving his pointers to An Mujin for the day, the sky turned dark, so Ye Guan left the back mountain. It was time for Yang Yian's daily readings.

Yang Yian had already been waiting in the courtyard with a book in hand.

When she saw Ye Guan, her face lit up with a smile.

Ye Guan sat down next to her, and she quickly opened the book in her hands, pointing to a particular passage. "I was reading this, and I don't quite understand this phrase, 'The mountain doesn't reject dust, and the river doesn't refuse the flowing waters.'"

Ye Guan looked at the passage and smiled, explaining, "The great mountain does not reject dust, which is why it stands so tall. Similarly, the river doesn't turn away the small streams, which is why it is so vast.

"This can be compared to cultivation; one must not ignore even the smallest details."

Yang Yian suddenly tilted her head and looked at Ye Guan without a word.

Under the moonlight, the both of them sat side by side—one focused on reading while the other was focused on teaching.

The next day, early in the morning, Ye Guan was invited to the Sect Master Pavilion. As soon as he entered, he saw Yue Qi and Yu Ning.

Yue Qi stared at him and asked, "So you're here."

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."

Yue Qi remained silent as she sized him up. Moments later, an invisible pressure emanated from her.

Swoosh!

Yue Qi vanished from her spot.

Ye Guan frowned. He knew that he was too weak to avoid or block the attack, so he chose not to resist it at all. Of course, he stood still because he didn't sense any killing intent in the attack.

Yue Qi's sword stopped just half an inch from his forehead, but he stayed calm.

Yue Qi asked, "Why didn't you dodge?"

Ye Guan shook his head. "I couldn't dodge it."

Yue Qi stared at him for a long time before sheathing her sword. "Who are you really?"

"Ye Yang," Ye Guan replied with a smile.

"Your real identity."

"Ye Yang."

Yue Qi stared intently at him.

Ye Guan thought for a few moments before saying, "Sect Master Yue, are you worried that I might be a threat to the Sword Sect or the Academy?"

With that, she flew up on her sword. Ye Guan did the same, keeping pace with her.

When they entered the starry sky, a series of teleportation arrays appeared before them.

"Pick one," Yu Ning said.

He stepped into the nearest array, and in an instant, he was transported to a unique realm. The spiritual energy here was over ten times stronger than outside!

A faint smile appeared on his face. "A perfect place for training."

Over the following days, Ye Guan spent his time training and guiding An Mujin in swordsmanship, and at night, he would read books with Yang Yian.

Yang Yian was now a Xiantian Realm cultivator.

After a month of training in that special realm, Ye Guan reached the Heaven Law Realm. His progress was remarkably swift, enough to surprise Yue Qi and Yu Ning. In fact, he had purposefully slowed his pace, aiming to solidify each realm before moving forward. Otherwise, he could have advanced even faster.

His innate talent was exceptional, and having already walked this path before, advancing through these cultivation realms was not difficult at all.

Time passed swiftly, and another month went by.

The Wanzhou Martial Contest was approaching!

With only three days left, Qingzhou was abuzz with excitement. The teleportation arrays in Qingzhou were filled to capacity every day with people from across Wanzhou arriving to witness the event.

Qingzhou was livelier than ever!

To prevent any unforeseen issues, Qingzhou's Guanxuan Academy even requested a unit of Guanxuan Guards from the Main Academy to maintain order.

Amidst the starry sky, Ye Guan stepped out of the teleportation array, taking a deep breath. A powerful aura surged from within him. He had now reached the Immortal Realm!

He had made significant progress in his cultivation base. Unfortunately, his Order Sword Intent remained at the Sword Cultivator without any advancements. He also couldn't actively improve it for some reason.

Ye Guan hopped onto his sword and vanished. Soon, he arrived at his courtyard.

Yang Yian quickly put down her book and ran up to him, smiling. "I heard that Qingzhou City has been really lively recently. Shall we go for a walk?"

Ye Guan smiled. "Sure."

Yang Yian immediately beamed with joy.

"Brother Ye!" someone shouted out from the side. Ye Guan turned to see Fu Ji walking toward them. After receiving significant support from the Sword Sect, Fu Ji had now reached the Dao Immortal Realm. His realm was just below An Mujin and Ye Zhuxin's Time Immortal Realm.

Fu Ji looked at Ye Guan and Yang Yian and smiled. "Are you guys heading to Qingzhou City?"

Ye Guan nodded with a smile. "Yes, we're going to have a look around."

Fu Ji quickly offered, "Why don't you come visit my family? My mother has been saying that she'd love to host you both."

Ye Guan glanced at Yang Yian, and they exchanged a smile. Ye Guan agreed, "Alright!"

Fu Ji looked thrilled that Ye Guan had accepted the offer and eagerly said, "Brother Ye, let's go."

With that, he rose on his sword and disappeared into the distant sky. Ye Guan lifted Yang Yian alongside him as they followed, vanishing into the horizon.

Inside a modest little house in Qingzhou, Ye Guan and Yang Yian sat side by side at a table laden with dishes. There were all kinds of food, including a basket of steamed buns.

Across from them sat a woman. She looked at Ye Guan and Yang Yian thoughtfully before asking, "Have we met before?"

Ye Guan and Yang Yian remained silent.
