Chapter 329: Xiao Fang's disciples

Outside the Nameless Guild, a disciple wearing a White Jade guild nameplate remained concealed, vigilantly surveying the vicinity, and waiting for her chance to capture Yan Mei. She was taken aback to witness Supreme Elder Quan being welcomed inside.

Her astonishment only grew when she saw Supreme Elder Song and and a.s.sistant Elder Chu Yan enter next, not long after, she even saw Yao Yin, who was the chief of the Disciplinary Department in the inner court, be invited in as well.

'Why are there so many important people going in and out of that guild?' she thought.

Some time later, after the Supreme Elders had left, the White Jade guild members eventually saw Tan Songyun, Gao Jiayi, and Gao Meihui coming as well. However, these three were effectively the current leaders of the White Jade guild, so she quickly came out of hiding to report to them everything she saw.

The girls looked at eachother then at Gao Meihui.

"Supreme Elders have no business interfering in Inner Court guild affairs. Who's still inside?" Gao Meihui asked.

"Only Yao Yin and Chu Yan are still inside," the disciple answered.

Tan Songyun and Gao Jiayi stood in antic.i.p.ation beside Gao Meihui, waiting for her guidance on their next move. However, before she could articulate a plan, the sound of approaching footsteps caught their attention. To their surprise, it was Chen Li making her way towards them.

"Chen Li, Why are you here?" Tan Songyun asked.

"There's someone I must see."

"And who might that be?" Tan Songyun inquired.

"His name is Long w.a.n.g," Chen Li replied.

"Who's that?" Gao Jiayi asked.

Tan Songyun on the other hand cringed when she heard that name.

"He's the man that turned down Chen Li's offer to join our guild. You still haven't dealt with him yet?" Tan Songyun said in annoyance.

"He did what?" Gao Jiaji said in shock.

"Forget it. Chen Li, head back to the guild, you still need to recover from your injuries. You can deal with him another time," Tan Songyun said.

"No, let her come," Gao Meihui interjected with a mysterious grin.

Tan Songyun and Gao Jiaji looked at Gao Meihui confused, but she didn't explain her thoughts as she grabbed Chen Li's hand and walked towards the Nameless guild's front door.

"Tell me about this Long w.a.n.g."

Meanwhile inside of the Nameless guild, the training hall was built like a wide dojo but with practice dummies lined up on one side, and small private rooms on the other.

In one of the private rooms, Xiao Fang had just given Yao Yin some insights on the Dual Cultivation method before leaving her in a private room full of Yang Qi to cultivate with. After seeing Supreme Elder naked, this was a session he almost desperately needed.

Even several minutes after Xiao Fang left, Yao Yin was still on the ground with c.u.m oozing out of her quivering little holes and t.i.ts exposed. Xiao Fang gave her more than just some dual cultivation knowledge, he gave her pleasure not even money couldn't buy. She had to admit that Xiao Fang wasn't just a friend or teacher, but more like a permanent partner to her.

She couldn't hope to ever achieve this intense of a session with anyone but him.

'I should come here more often,' she thought.

He then went to see Chu Yan next who was waiting for him in the open s.p.a.ce.

Sitting on the throne-like chair at the back of the dojo-like training hall, Xiao Fang started to watch Chu Yan practice the [ Divine Sword Cutting Wind ] technique with the guidance he had given her earlier.

Xiao Fang sighed seeing the mistakes she made, but he couldn't blame her because he knew she was always using Spirit Swords while she was in this sect. Switching between sword styles was never a good idea.

"Let's start from the beginning," Xiao Fang said as he took out the sword she gave him.

Seeing Xiao Fang just casually holding it sent chills down Chu Yan's spine, only a swordsman as proficient as her can tell how good another swordsman was simply by the way they hold their sword.

Standing next to Chu Yan, Xiao Fang began to lecture her.

"You can cut your opponent or you can hit them. One doesn't need strength or speed to cut, you only need precision."

Holding up his sword now, he gestured with his head for her to do the same.

"Steady your hand, heart, and mind. Allow it to become an extension of you. When you swing, be strong, but not at the expense of being smooth," Xiao Fang said as he slowly swung.

Watching her do it next, Xiao Fang quickly corrected her.

"Your grip is a bit too tight on the bottom hand here. Remember, strong and smooth," he said as he tapped the hands that needed to be strong and one that needed to be loose.

"Now try."

Xiao Fang corrected her form a few more times before letting her continue on her own. Although she was a quick learner, this was nothing more than a refresher because of the swordsmen experience she already had.

Although he could've gone straight to teaching her the [ Divine Sword Cutting Air ] technique, Xiao Fang was a man of principles. Unless she was flawless with the fundamentals, he didn't see a point in teaching her a technique as difficult as the one she wanted to learn.

"Again. Again. Good. Again."

Luckily, it didn't take her long to be freshened up, she was an experienced swordsman afterall.

Satisfied with her swings, Xiao Fang stopped her, then put his hands on her chest and lower back to fix her posture. Her face turned red for a moment, but she didn't let it distract her. Since Xiao Fang seemed to be taking it seriously, she tried to do the same.

"Take a breath in, and out," Xiao Fang said.

She did as she was told.

"Again, but deeper, and let it out smoothly."

Chu Yan composed herself, now with a serious look on her face, she did it again.

Xiao Fang had his hands on her shoulders as she was breathing which made her stick out her chest as her lungs became filled with air. After her third breath, he let go and her posture remained.

"Now... swing."

She didn't know what he was doing, but since he was her teacher, she simply did as he said.

Without realizing it, both her heart and mind were calm. Without thinking about the motion of her swing, her natural instincts took over and guided her blade. The swing was no faster or slower than her previous swings, but there was a distinct difference this time when she swung her sword down.

Zing~

The sound was too faint for ordinary people to hear, but to Xiao Fang, it sounded like she finally sliced the air in front of her, even if it was only for a moment.

'That… is my mind playing tricks on me?' she thought.

She felt as if she had cut something that wasn't there. Xiao Fang's next words made her realize what it was.

"Did you feel that?" Xiao Fang asked.

"I… I did," she admitted.

She didn't know what else to say because she was still in disbelief. For a fraction of a second, it was like she was swinging her sword through water, or a thin sheet of fabric. Perhaps, this was what she was supposed to feel.

Thinking about it that way, she tried it again using her Divine Sword Qi. Xiao Fang took a step back and pulled his blindfold down to watch carefully.

She took one look at him then focused. Waiting till she was in the right mind s.p.a.ce and felt exactly as she did when Xiao Fang was helping her, she eventually took another swing.

Zing~~~

This time there was no question about it, because she felt it clearly.

"I did it!" She looked at him with so much appreciation.

Xiao Fang was speechless for a moment. He had only shown her the technique once at its most basic form, but somehow she was able to replicate it all on her own perfectly.

'What kind of genius is this?' he thought.

Thinking about it now, if Xiao Fang was in the same position as her, he knew the results wouldn't have been any different. Truthfully, he should've expected it from the genius of the Chu clan.

"Good, now just keep doing that," Xiao Fang said while putting his blindfold back on and returning back to his chair.

He continued to correct her form from the throne, but for the most part, he remained slouched back on his chair as he watched her train. For the times he was silent, Chu Yan would often look back at Xiao Fang in case he had guidance to give, but seeing how elegant he looked sitting on that throne, she often a.s.sumed he was asleep.

Unexpectedly, Ruo s.h.i.+ eventually came back into the training room, making Chu Yan stop practicing.

"Long w.a.n.g, members of the White Jade guild have come to see you," Ruo s.h.i.+ said.
