This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 1611 - 58: You’re the Most Beautiful (3)

Lu Qingshan nodded and said, "Yes, and it's not an ordinary Taoist Sword; otherwise, how could a Sword Spirit be no different from a human? Her cultivation can synchronize with mine, and if one day I become a Sword Immortal, perhaps she could follow and gain some skills of a Sword Immortal."

"Look, even the three Sword Immortals of Chang'an couldn't accomplish this."

Xia Daoyun glanced at Lu Qingshan, saying blandly, "That's quite impressive."

"No different from a human..." she whispered.

Lu Qingshan glanced at Xia Daoyun, who showed no expression. He felt a bit uneasy. "Master, you're not upset, right? I initially intended to return after meeting the Heavenly River Sword Immortal in Heavenly River City, but unexpected events delayed me until now."

"Upset?" Xia Daoyun's voice was unusually gentle, "Now you're the leader of the Sword Sect, carrying responsibilities, not causing mischief. You've been away for half a year and brought such great aid to the Eastern Domain. I'm more than happy; there's nothing to be upset about."

"While you were away, I've been at Yumen Pass. We watched over things for you, so you don't have to worry much. Also, now that you've graduated, you don't need to call me Master anymore."

Lu Qingshan responded softly with an "um."

"However, don't act recklessly; your life no longer belongs solely to you." Xia Daoyun instructed sharply, her eyebrows arching, her voice cold.

Just knew I couldn't escape it... Lu Qingshan smiled bitterly, offering no retort.

"Have you met the Heavenly River Sword Immortal?" Xia Daoyun casually raised another topic.

Lu Qingshan nodded.

"What did you think," Xia Daoyun asked nonchalantly, "You've seen all three Sword Immortals of Chang'an; whom do you admire the most?"

"Whom do I admire the most..." This was a good question; a person's preferences often reflect their personality. Lu Qingshan couldn't help but ponder.

But after thinking carefully for a while, Lu Qingshan found himself struggling to come up with an answer.

"The three Sword Immortals each have their virtues. To truly say who I admire more, I honestly can't decide." he sighed.

Li Qiubai has the greatest talent, Xie Qingyun is the most sincere, and Chu Mu has the freest Sword Heart.

Each has their strengths, each excels in their way.

"And you?" Lu Qingshan couldn't resist asking.

"The Chang'an Sword Immortal." Xia Daoyun answered decisively, but didn't give a reason.

Lu Qingshan could gather a little.

Xia Daoyun was recognized by Xie Qingyun as the most talented female Sword Cultivator in the world, without exception.

In regards to talent, she and Li Qiubai are kindred spirits, so it's no surprise she admires Li Qiubai?

"And among the ladies? With so many, whom does Sect Master Lu admire the most? Qin Yitian, Zang Xiaojian, or perhaps Lin Yao?" Just as Lu Qingshan was pondering, Xia Daoyun unexpectedly asked again,

Lu Qingshan instinctively replied, "Ladies, just like the three Sword Immortals each have their strengths, all have their own appeal."

"How so?" Xia Daoyun squinted, looking at Lu Qingshan's handsome face, and asked with "interest."

She had a tall stature, so merely slightly lifting her gaze, she could meet Lu Qingshan's eyes.

At that moment of eye contact, Lu Qingshan sensed a faint trace of danger, thought about it, and earnestly explained,

"Just like there is wind in spring, frost in autumn, rain in summer, and snow in winter, all are ethereal beauty."

"Some ladies, conceal grace in their brows and corners of their eyes, their voices and smiles exude tenderness."

This describes Qin Yitian.

"Some ladies, serene brows that do not falter, innocence revealed as adornments fade."

This naturally refers to Zang Xiaojian.

"Some ladies, truthfully delicate in manner, gracefully proportioned."

This points to Lin Yao.

"Oh," Xia Daoyun nodded with "agreement," continuing to look into Lu Qingshan's eyes, "Is there anyone else?"

Gifted with a sudden insight, Lu Qingshan's expression turned earnest and sincere, "But you are the most beautiful."

Some ladies, their beauty needs no reasons nor adjectives, just three words—Xia Daoyun—are enough.
