I Can't Be Sword God

103 Rainy day, cruise ship, and two women borrowing an umbrella

There was a saying:

Hangzhou’s beautiful scenery was unparalleled, and the exotic flowers and plants by the West Lake were fragrant all year round.

In the spring, the sudi was red with peach and green with Willows, and the pond was full of lotus flowers in summer. The moon in autumn was like clear water, and the snow covered the hills in winter.

From Yuhang Town, up along the Liuhua River, past Yunhe County, was the Hangzhou Prefecture.

Along the way, the water was rippling, and the flowers were on both sides of the river.

A small cruise ship was slowly setting off from Yuhang Town.

At the stern of the boat, Qigong mo, who was wearing a bamboo hat, shouted and greeted his peers.

At the bow of the ship stood two dazzling figures.

One of them was a young Daoist dressed in a neat green robe. He stood tall, his brows clear and his eyes bright.

Looking at his figure and appearance, one would always feel that he was disdainful of the heavens and earth, nothing more than that. The rest of the living beings were a little sloppy.

Beside him stood a girl in colorful clothes. She was wearing a silk dress with tassels. Her figure was not yet fully grown, but her waist was thin and soft, and her legs were slender.

Her hair was tied into two ponytails, and her skin was so fair that it looked like it was crystal clear. Her pair of big eyes looked at the surrounding scenery with a little excitement, but also seemed to hide some sadness that could not be wiped away.

These two people were Li Chu, the first and last disciple of Yu Qi ‘an, the abbot of Yuhang Town, Shili Hill, and deyun temple.

And his demon slave, the koi transformed into a human, named Yue ‘er.

Li Chu’s trip this time was because he had received a blood letter from his good friend, Wang longqi, asking for help. He planned to rush to the righteous Academy in the prefecture city to check the situation.

The reason why he brought Xiao Yue ‘er along was because she had completely transformed after eating the dragonification fruit.

This time, she had completely transformed from a simple-minded little koi into a human with rich emotions and complicated thoughts.

Once a fish became smart, it was easy for them to worry.

She thought about how her clansmen were still missing and how she was the only one out there. No matter how good her life was, she couldn’t be happy.

In addition, she also remembered that her grandfather, the chief of the koi fish clan, had a human name. He was called Liu Chao’an.

Thus, she followed her grandfather and also had a name, Liu Yue.

Yu Qi ‘an felt that Liu Yue’s name was too tacky, like a country girl. It would be better to change “Yue” to “Yan,” which would be more elegant.

Li Chu firmly rejected the suggestion.

He was unusually determined.

This time, he brought the little koi fish with him to the prefecture city so that she could relax and not keep thinking about those bad things.

Xiao Yue ‘er looked at the surrounding lakes and mountains, and gradually, her mood did ease a little.

The cruise ship passed by a ferry, which was bustling with people and quite lively.

Taking advantage of the crowd, there were also many hawkers setting up stalls to sell their goods. For a moment, it was a hubbub of voices.

There were also many people who saw the appearance of the captain and couldn’t help but look over.

Yue er tugged at Li Chu’s arm and said,”master, look at what those people are selling.” It’s so colorful and beautiful.”

Li Chu looked over and answered, ” that’s a River lamp. It’s almost Mid-Autumn. People make wishes with the river lamp. If you like it, I’ll buy one for you too.”

“Alright,” he said. Xiao Yue ‘er nodded and raised her innocent eyes, ” “Will writing wishes on the river lanterns really come true?” he asked.

“I won’t.” Li Chu shook his head.

One hit, two hits.

The naivety in Xiao Yue ‘er’s eyes was also ruthlessly shattered.

and Qianqian, ” Li Chu said to her, ” don’t call me master anymore. It’s broad daylight and there are so many people outside. It’ll be strange if others hear you.

“Wuwuwuwu, why are you shouting?”

“Why don’t you and I address each other as brother and sister?” Li Chu suggested.

“But I’m already used to calling him that.” Xiao Yue ‘er thought for a moment and said: “Then how about from now on, we’ll be brothers and sisters in the day?”

“It’s the same at night.” Li Chu immediately emphasized in a determined tone.

The little koi fish could only nod. Her ponytails swung back and forth, as if to express her confusion about human behavior.

......

The ship sailed from the mouth of the ferry to the end of the ferry. Unexpectedly, in this short period of time, the sky above them changed color.

In the blink of an eye, the sunny day had turned into dark clouds.

When the boat was about to go far, there was already a fine drizzle.

The boatman was wearing a bamboo hat and did not care about the rain. Li Chu and Xiao Yue ‘er hid in the cabin and sat down.

At this moment, someone on the shore called out, ” “Boatman-”

The old man turned around and saw two women jogging over from the shore. They were waving at him as they ran.

One of the two women was dressed in a white brocade robe, her long skirt fluttering in the wind. Her black hair was tied into an exquisite snow bun, and it fluttered in the wind and rain. Although her face could not be seen clearly, she could feel her otherworldly temperament, and her appearance was definitely not bad.

The other one was wearing a green gauze dress. She seemed to be younger and shorter. Her steps were lighter, making her look lively and cute.

Seeing that they were two beautiful girls, the boatman replied,”Eh-”

master and servant, ” the green-robed woman called out again, ” we came here and it suddenly rained. I wonder if we can take a boat ride? ”

“The young master in front has booked my boat. It’s heading to the prefecture,” the judge said.

...

“Then we’re going the same way,” the green-robed woman said happily.

The old man lifted the curtain of the cabin and said, ” “Young master, the rain is pouring down quickly. There are two girls who are passing by, why don’t we give them a lift?”

“We can pay more!” The woman shouted.

of course, ” Li Chu immediately replied. how can we let the two ladies get wet in the rain? ”

After a short while.

The boat docked, and the boatman put on the board, allowing the two girls to board the boat.

Now that he could see it clearly, the judge’s eyes almost popped out.

The Woman in White had a beautiful face, as if she was born flawless. A pair of clear autumn eyes, as if reflecting telepathy. When she walked, it was like the wind blowing the Willow, indescribably graceful and gentle.

The old man searched his mind for a long time and could only think of one idiom.

She was really as beautiful as a goddess.

The girl in green behind him looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and she was adorable. Beside a stunning beauty, she didn’t seem out of place and was already a natural beauty.

...

The two women expressed their gratitude to the judge, bent over, and sat in the cabin.

The small cabin seemed a little crowded with four people sitting in it at once.

Li Chu and the little koi fish sat on one side while the two women sat on the other. They were only separated by a narrow board.

It could be said that they were face to face.

If he didn’t say anything, it would be a little awkward.

thank you for your help, young master, ” The Woman in White said. otherwise, we two weak women would not know what to do in such a rainy day.

“Miss, you’re too polite. This is only natural.” Li Chu hurriedly nodded in response.

The green-clothed girl rolled her eyes and looked at Li Chu curiously. She then asked, ” “Young master, where did you come from?”

“I’m Li Chu, a Daoist from deyun temple, ten Li Hill outside Yuhang Town.” “This Yue ‘er is my sister. I brought her to the prefecture to visit a friend,” Li Chu answered.

Since Li Chu answered by name, The Woman in White said, ” “My name is Qin Shuangbai, and I’m from the sword School of the southern Heaven continent. I’m also going to visit my relatives in the prefecture city of Hangzhou.”

“I’m Yu Qing, miss’s personal maidservant.” The green-clothed girl quickly said.

“What?” “The two of you have traveled a long way from the southern Heaven continent to visit your relatives,” Li Chu said.

The southern Heaven continent was located in the southwest, while the southern Jiang continent was in the southeast. However, Yuhang Town was located on the side of the Jiangnan continent near the East Sea, while the swords gate Manor was on the side of the southern Heaven continent near the mountains in the West.

In between, there was a rather long journey.

“I won’t hide it from young master.”

Qin Shuang’s beautiful eyes turned, and the light in her eyes dimmed. It was as if she could pull people into her eyes and feel traces of sadness.

my parents passed away in an accident. My family’s financial situation has declined, so I had no choice but to seek shelter with my relatives.

Qin Shuangbai’s eyes were watery as if she was about to cry.

“Lady Qin, Zhenzhen, please restrain your grief.” Li Chu consoled.

“En!” Seeing this, Xiao Yue ‘er also wanted to comfort her. After thinking for a while, she said, ” “Sister Qin, don’t be too sad. Not only did your parents die, but your parents also died. I don’t know if my parents are dead or not, but I can’t find them. My brother’s parents are also dead! You’re nothing special.”

Qin Shuangbai was stunned.

Was this Kasaya meant to comfort her?

“Uh,” Yu Qing looked at the two of them and asked, ” “Aren’t the parents of you two siblings the same?”

“She’s my Zhenzhen”

Li Chu was about to explain from which family he was from.

“We’re blood-related siblings from different mothers,” Xiao Yue ‘er said.

The three of them were speechless.

......

The water route was not far. When the boat entered the prefecture, there were pavilions on both sides of the river. Even though it was raining, there were still many pedestrians walking out with umbrellas.

“Ladies,” the judge called out,”you are from the sect of peace, right? We’re here.”

“Ah, okay.” Yu Qing answered and looked at Qin Shuangbai with a smile, ” “Miss, we’ve arrived.”

Qin Shuangbai nodded and said to Li Chu, ” “Little Daoist priest li, we’ll meet again another day.”

“Okay, see you.”

it’s still raining heavily. Yu Qing stuck his head out and looked around. do you have an umbrella on your boat? ”

The judge grinned and said,”we rough people wear straw capes and bamboo hats. We don’t know how to prepare an umbrella.” That thing can’t do any work, and it can’t block the rain when there’s wind.”

The little koi fish lowered his head and took out two umbrellas from the bundle on the ground.”We have two umbrellas here, you guys can use them first?”

Qin Shuangbai took the umbrella and said,”thank you. Where do you two live in the prefecture?” I’ll send the umbrella back to you guys later, okay?”

I’m not sure yet, ” Li Chu said. lady Qin, where are you going to marry? why don’t I go and get it some other day? ”

“This is good too.” Qin Shuangbai nodded. I should be in the weeping willow alley in front of Taiping Gate Street. It’s the second shop on the right after entering the alley.

“Alright,” he said. Li Chu nodded and noted it down.

Immediately after, the two girls got off the boat.

The boatman looked at her graceful back for a long time before reluctantly rowing the boat away.

The strange thing was that the sky immediately cleared up as soon as the two girls got off the boat.

Xiao Yue ‘er immediately pulled Li Chu and skipped out of the cabin.

This time, he could see a lot more.

The flowing flower River was the busiest Street in the prefecture city. On both sides of the street, there were all kinds of shops, restaurants, tea houses, horse shops, street vendors, and ATS.

In the past, Xiao Yue ‘er had only gone out to play near Yuhang Town. She had never been to such a bustling place, so her eyes immediately lit up.

Unknowingly, the boat had reached a shallow bay.

As far as the eye could see, there were many green mountains in front of them, and the closest one was not far from the shallow bay.

Ancient scholartree mountain.

The righteous Academy was on this mountain.

It was said that a down-and-out official from the previous dynasty was dissatisfied with the dark state of the court and resigned in anger. When he passed by this mountain, he met a great demon called the ‘Huai ancestor’.

This Huai ancestor was a monster who had cultivated in seclusion in the mountains for countless years and had great Dao attainment. He was attracted by the righteous aura of the official and could not help but appear.

He told the officials that the world was about to be overturned, and that they had nowhere to display their talents and ambitions. It was better to build a school here and pass on their righteousness. A hundred years later, there would naturally be a place for him to use his martial arts.

The officials followed his words and built an Academy in the mountain, named the ” righteous Academy “.

A hundred years had passed, and the righteous Academy had already borne fruit and cultivated a generation of heroes.

In the past hundred years, after the Great War of Gods and demons and the establishment of Heluo, the world had indeed changed greatly.

When the world regained its balance and was in need of talents, the talents from the righteous Academy soon shone in the Heluo imperial court, and the Academy they came from became famous.

It had become one of the four Academies.

......

Li Chu brought the little koi fish up the mountain slowly. There were many tourists at the foot of the mountain.

Looking over, most of them were young children accompanied by their parents, coming here to gain some talent. Looking up at the continuous and magnificent Academy attics on the mountainside, the child had an ambition.

There was a father standing by the road with his hands on his waist. He looked at the Academy on the mountain and asked, ” “Son, do you have any ambitions when you grow up?”

The little boy looked around and saw Li Chu. He tugged at his father’s sleeve and shouted, ” “Father, when I grow up, I want to look like that big brother!”

His father’s face darkened,”then something bad has happened!” You must look like your old man. ”

The little boy blinked and burst into tears.

His father quickly consoled him. it doesn’t matter if a man is old or ugly. The most important thing is to have talent!

He continued to climb upwards and soon reached the mountainside.

After passing the stone tablet of the righteous Academy, one could not easily enter.

There was a mountain Pavilion that blocked the only stone path up the mountain.

There were guards from the Academy in the pavilion.

“I’m from Yuhang Town to visit a friend. May I enter?” Li Chu stepped forward and reported.

The guard glanced at him. who’s your friend? ”

“Wang longqi.” Li Chu replied.

“Oh?” “Seventh young master is your friend?” the guard suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

“Yes.”

“Go in. Go up the stone steps, turn right, and you’ll see the third Pavilion. Young master Wang just arrived not long ago. I think he’s staying on the third floor. You’ll know which room it is if you ask around there.”

“Many thanks.” Li Chu thanked him and left.

He was also surprised that Wang longqi seemed to be familiar with everyone.

Following the path pointed out by the guard, they soon arrived at the Academy.

There were dozens of teachers and hundreds of students in the righteous Academy. It was not a large number of people, but there were countless pavilions and attics. He did not know what they were for.

The people they saw on the road were all wearing wide-sleeved Confucian robes, and they all walked with wind-like steps, looking very anxious.

There were even some who walked while holding Scriptures and chanting.

Li Chu felt a sense of familiarity.

He used to study in the best school in the province.

Those students who scored 100 to 600 marks lower than him always looked like they were in a hurry and worked hard.

Every time he leisurely walked past the campus and saw those students who had to memorize even when they were eating and walking, he would feel a little envious.

That’s right, it was envy.

They were envious of the fact that they could improve as long as they worked hard.

He, on the other hand, had never improved.

......

He walked into the third Pavilion on the right.

He found that the first floor of the attic was a large room with brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Some people were sitting in it, while some were empty. It should be a place similar to a self-study room.

However, the people inside did not study by themselves. They were all discussing something loudly, and it sounded like it was related to knowledge.

Li Chu shook his head.

Wang longqi couldn’t be here.

The second and third floors were similar to dormitories. It was daytime, so there were very few people on these two floors.

Coincidentally, a scholar was rushing down the stairs. Li Chu stopped him and asked, ” “May I ask which room Wang longqi is staying in?”

The scholar laughed,”seventh young master?” Go to the innermost room on the third floor and he’ll be there.”

“Many thanks.” Li Chu cupped his hands in thanks.

you’re welcome. Seventh young master’s friends are my friends.

The scholar suddenly patted Li Chu’s shoulder in a very Jianghu-like manner.

They went upstairs and arrived at the room he had mentioned.

The door of the room was covered with cinnabar and yellow talismans, as if it was a place to seal demons and devils.

Li Chu frowned and quickly knocked on the door.

Thump thump.

who is it? ” Wang longqi’s voice came from the door.

“It’s me,” Li Chu replied.

“Li Chu!”

Wang longqi suddenly let out a cry.

Then, there was the sound of running. He ran over, opened the door, and shouted, ” “You’re finally here!”

Li Chu could see that the room was filled with all kinds of magical weapons.

Jingang Bell, demon-subduing pestle, peach wood sword, copper mirror Kasaya

“What exactly happened?” he couldn’t help but ask.

Wang longqi let him in and said in a trembling voice, ”

“There’s a demon in our Academy!”

“Big demon!”
