Chapter 1775: Currying Favor

Gu Ersheng thought that becoming an apprentice must be because of his combat ability.

Actually, it doesn’t matter; as long as you have a master who values you, that’s enough.

Following the master is quite carefree.

Several senior brothers, junior brothers, senior sisters, and junior sisters have some talent, but certainly none have the talent like his daughter.

After thinking about it, there’s no need to insist. If the right opportunity comes, he’ll go. He won’t deliberately go see the master.

The room was particularly quiet, and the success of the Tan family was not without reason; they are very focused on one thing. Just like now, the siblings were each doing their own thing, making the room feel particularly calm and peaceful.

He quietly retreated and knocked on Qi Yan’s door.

"I am also a Sword Cultivator, shall we try?"

"Is it okay on the Flying Boat?"

"We can do it without immortal power, just look at the moves."

Qi Yan didn’t have any objections, and the two started going back and forth on the deck.

Zhu Huai’en and Qi Hao, Qi Xuan, the three master and disciples, watched from the side.

"If relying only on moves, big brother is fine." Qi Hao said.

"The ancestor is also okay."

Zhu Huai’en nodded as well; the ancestor’s swordsmanship looked really good and quite meaningful.

"I’ll also try with the ancestor later." Qi Hao said with a smile.

Actually, the three of them had the same thought; now they realized their shortcomings and quickly remedied them so that there would still be opportunities to correct them in the future.

Qi Yan and Gu Ersheng only stopped after three hours, both sweating, after all, no immortal power was used.

"You have some problems with a few moves."

Qi Yan nodded. "I’ll go improve." Since he wasn’t a cultivator from the Xuantian Sect, it was fine not to call him ancestor.

Qi Hao came over with a smile, "Ancestor, rest for a while, and let’s try too."

"No problem, you can come now."

"How is that possible? Although I’m not as good as my big brother, I still can’t lack martial virtue."

Gu Ersheng laughed, "Okay, let’s try."

Gu Ersheng knew the character of each member of the Tan family and definitely knew how to please them.

Next, Mu Tian piloted the Flying Boat, and Xiao Rue also joined in to find their own problems.

Actually, in non-combat situations, practicing the sword really didn’t let one feel where the problems were.

Especially now that their cultivation levels were almost the same. Tan Shaoting and his wife had higher cultivation by one rank and didn’t have much combat experience, so their problems weren’t obvious.

Gu Ersheng was different; he was at the Immortal Monarch Level. After experiencing so much, finding problems for them was indeed a small matter.

Finally, Chen Xue Man and Xiao Ya joined; Chen Xue Man was a female cultivator with a talent for swordsmanship.

Now she was just limited by her cultivation. Gu Ersheng pointed out her problems.

The last one was Xiao Ya. He was really helpless; she hadn’t trained according to the normal swordsmanship at all. It could even be said that Sword Skill was more suited for her.

Didn’t know where to start mentoring.

"Otherwise, train in Sword Skill. I actually have a set, from a former defeated opponent, but the Sword Skill is really not bad."

Xiao Ya gave Gu Ersheng a blank look, "Are you saying I’m not a Sword Cultivator?"

"What use is there in insisting on being a Sword Cultivator? When your cultivation is higher and you return to the West, you’ll surely regain your identity, right?

At that time, whether it’s Sword Skill or swordsmanship, it’s auxiliary skills. What does it matter what you practice?"

Xiao Ya took the Sword Skill handed over by Gu Ersheng, checked it out carefully, and threw it back to Gu Ersheng, "I practice sword; our whole family are Sword Cultivators."

"They all practice Taoism as well."

"Hehe." Xiao Ya laughed, now she could also use immortal power, her family having a big cheat code.

Gu Ersheng was taken aback by her smile, but didn’t mind.

It took half a year to get here, and halfway through the journey, no one intercepted them.

"Ancestor, does your Flying Boat have some special mark? Why hasn’t anyone intercepted us?"

"Because it’s the East Immortal Emperor’s Flying Boat."

"That’s what I thought. How about we switch to the Hua Family’s, then we might get some training opportunities?"

"Sure." Gu Ersheng had no objections.

Qi Hao asked and everyone agreed.

After boarding the Hua Family’s Flying Boat, the pace felt much slower.

Actually, everyone was hoping someone would come to rob them, allowing them to test how much they progressed.

Indeed, after three days, they were intercepted.

Everyone looked at the Flying Boat opposite, marked with Xiahou family symbols, and wanted to laugh.

They were truly fated with the Xiahou family; why were they intercepted by them again?

The Xiahou family had seen portraits of their group. When enemies meet, they are bound to bristle with intense emotions.

The leader from the Xiahou family was also a Daluo Golden Immortal.

With a wave of his hand, a group of Profound Immortals went up.

"Who do they look down on?" Qi Wen smirked, as they were now all Profound Immortals; did they think they had regressed?

Gu Ersheng, Tan Shaoting, and Su Yuanyuan were on the side, really unwilling to bully those with lower cultivation.

Watching the leader send messages, they didn’t interfere.

The Xiahou family also had an Immortal Monarch, but with Gu Ersheng as an Immortal Monarch, what was there to fear?

Their fearless demeanor was quite infuriating.

After receiving the news, the Xiahou Family Master gritted his teeth and sent over several more Daluo Golden Immortals.

Every family had a limited number of Daluo Golden Immortals. Sending out ten at once, even the Family Master felt a pinch in his heart.

This time, they didn’t kill those Profound Immortals, for enemies should be reconciled rather than remain at odds. It was also to see the Xiahou family’s attitude. If they pushed too far, there was no need to show restraint.

Whatever the Xiahou Family Master thought, he called together all the elders.

"Family Head, are we afraid of them?"

"Hmm, the news that was reported back mentioned someone whose cultivation couldn’t be discerned, likely one of their predecessors from the next life?"

"Family Head, I’ll go over and take a look."

"Now is not the time for a hard confrontation, otherwise, it will have high costs for us."

It’s still important to consider the bigger picture. There will be opportunities in the future. Over twenty years have passed, and they’ve calmed down; they are merely ordinary Ascension Cultivators, perhaps a bit remarkable, but bear no grudge against the Xiahou family.

They were at odds with the Hua family, yet the Hua family hadn’t suffered any loss.

The one dispatched was the Third Elder, as he understood the Family Head’s intentions.

His very mild personality made it most appropriate for the Third Elder to go.

After arrangements, the Xiahou Family Master went to meet the ancestor to discuss the matter.

"Someone whose cultivation can’t be discerned?"

"Yes."

"You’ve done well; let’s see the other side’s response."

The Xiahou Family Master had not yet left when he received a Sound Transmission Talisman.

"Ancestor, they did not kill our clan members."

"Alright. Let it pass for now; we’ll see later." At least we need to figure it out first.
