The Disciple’s Diligence Makes the Master Seem Lazy - Chapter 137

[Chapter 137 It’s great to have a capable apprentice]

Li Xu no longer cared whether Aunt Daxu was chewing tree bark again. He walked back slowly from the back mountain, thinking about what she said, and said to himself:

“In Qingqiu Kingdom, the sky fire fell and burned the Queen’s bedroom for three consecutive days. Daxu was born from the fire, which means that she is not the biological daughter of Daxu’s mother, the Queen of Qingqiu, but she has the bloodline of the nine-tailed fox.”

“The bloodline of the nine-tailed fox can only be possessed by the lineage of the Queen of Qingqiu.”

“These two things are a bit contradictory.”

Li Xu thought a lot at once, and thought of many conspiracy theories.

“Maybe Daxu was originally the biological daughter of the Queen of Qingqiu, but for some reason, she could only be born by borrowing the routine of the sky fire.”

His mind was full of ideas, and he even thought of the nine-tailed fox civil strife, power grabbing, and struggle.

The Queen of Qingqiu was the founder of Qingqiu Kingdom, but it was the Queen of Qingqiu who completely stabilized Qingqiu Kingdom.

Perhaps the King of Qingqiu did not want to let the power fall into the hands of his daughter, and planned various conspiracies to kill the Queen of Qingqiu. This can also explain why the Tongtian Fire landed in the Queen’s bedroom, and hit the Queen’s bedroom instead of other bedrooms.

Of course, these bloody plots are purely made up by Li Xu and are wildly imaginative.

He has the sequelae of watching too many bloody plots on toilet TV.

The real situation is definitely not like this, because this is not a TV series, this is a living world, but it can be known that the hidden story here is definitely not simple.

He suddenly looked inward at the exquisite picture album in his mind, looking at Daxu’s special information column, which said that 100,000 diligence points can be used to check. Now there are 1.13 million diligence points, and using 100,000 is easier than drinking water.

Using 100,000 may be able to unlock the origin and secrets of little Daxu?

He thought about it again and again. He

still couldn’t suppress his curiosity and decided to explore this secret.

[You are about to spend 100,000 diligence points to check Daju’s other identity. Do you want to spend it?]

Li Xu thought for a while and said, “Yes.”

[You are about to spend 100,000 diligence points. There are 1.04 million diligence points left. Confirm whether to spend it.]

“Yes.”

Li Xu did not hesitate. It was only 100,000 diligence points. It was enough.

No pressure.

He looked inward and waited for the result quietly.

[Hidden identity: Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox.

In the mountains of Qingqiu, there is a beast. It looks like a fox with nine tails. Its voice is like a baby…]

The information popped up. Li Xu suddenly didn’t want to talk. After a while, he cursed:

“You wasted my 100,000 diligence points. The information I found is just like this. I know all this. Can you give me some information I don’t know? Give me some help?”

When Li Xu just accepted Daju as his apprentice, he knew that she was a fox. The characteristics were too obvious. She had fox ears on her head.

You can tell that this is a fox demon with your toes.

Li Xu didn’t say a few words to her. She was simple-minded and explained her family’s background clearly.

She was of the bloodline of the nine-tailed fox, and was the little princess of Qingqiu. She

was also a little Lolita who was rich enough to rival a country.

He knew all this. What

Li Xu wanted to know was a deeper secret, such as how she was born from the flames, her origins and her life experience, etc.

Rather than this kind of secret that everyone knew.

Li Xu looked at the beautiful picture album in his mind with expectation, but it did not respond at all, as if it was dead silent.

[……]

“Is there any other hidden information?”

Li Xu asked in a kind voice, trying to be as gentle as possible.

He didn’t want his 100,000 diligence points to go to waste, but the system did not speak, obviously ashamed and unable to answer Li Xu’s question.

Li Xu was not willing to give up, and continued to persuade her: “It’s okay, tell the truth, don’t be shy, if you think the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed, I ask, just give me a reaction… Is she the daughter favored by heaven?”

“Is she the fairy of creation?”

“Or the Lord of Chaos?”

“The creator of the world? The creator of the universe? The controller of the Hongmeng Avenue? The topic terminator? Or is she the goddess of creation? The ancestor of all things? The reincarnation of gods? The reincarnation of the emperor…”

Li Xu said a lot in one breath.

However, as he spoke, the beautiful picture album in his mind trembled violently, as if it was about to crack. It still couldn’t stand Li Xu’s nagging and almost collapsed.

[Please don’t say anymore]

[There is really nothing left]

[That’s all the information about her, I only know that she is a nine-tailed celestial fox, as for the rest, you can only find the answer yourself]

[…]

[Anonymous]

Li Xu originally wanted to talk to it more, communicate more, and get closer to the beautiful picture album in his mind, but it was still a little unfamiliar with him.

Even a little afraid of death.

I really don’t know what it is afraid of. Li Xuqing couldn’t help but sigh, refocused his gaze, and walked back to the academy.

Originally, he wanted to find Daxu. Li Xu felt that he hadn’t seen her for a long time.

He missed her very much.

The most important thing was to hug her and kiss her.

But she was not in the room.

She should have woken up. Where did she go after waking up? Li Xu shook his head. At this time, a message suddenly floated in his mind.

[Clear the weeds in the garden, reward 500 diligence points]

[Expand the overall area of the garden, reward 1000 diligence points]

[Divide the garden area, reward…]

[…]

Tips floated in his mind, and diligence points continued to accumulate. Li Xu remembered that little Daxu said she wanted to build a five-mile flower sea.

She would go there to do things whenever she had free time, so diligence points popped up.

“She really can’t rest for a moment, she is diligent and capable.”

This is Li Xu’s evaluation of her. Her small body has a lot of energy. After working for so long, I don’t know what the results are.

He suddenly wanted to go and see, so he walked in the direction of the garden.

After walking less than two hundred steps, he saw a white-haired old man lying cross-legged on the ground in the far distance of the corridor, staring at the sun, as if he was practicing something. As he got closer

, he saw a young man practicing swordsmanship.

Li Xu was not very interested in the young man, mainly because he felt a little strange to see Dean Qinglian staring at the sun. He was sure that he would not go blind.

He did not walk in front of Dean Qinglian, fearing to disturb him, but walked in front of Tang Sheng and asked, “What is your master doing? Staring at the sun. Does the sun irritate him?”

“I don’t know. He said that he would let me practice for a while and then practice swordsmanship with me. Who knew that he would just stare at the sun while sitting there.” Tang Sheng was a little helpless and worried, “Is my master going blind?”

“Not that easy. It’s not that easy for a fourth-grade master. At most, his brain is broken.” Li Xu said.

Tang Sheng was stunned: “Ah?”

Li Xu nodded his head, indicating that Dean Qinglian might have some problems with his brain. Tang Sheng understood and smiled.

Just as he was about to leave, Tang Sheng looked at him and said, “Are you free to spar with me? I want to see what’s wrong with my swordsmanship?”

“Sure.” Li Xu said, “Go ahead.”

“Be careful.” Tang Sheng said.

“Don’t worry, show me all your unique skills, I want to see how far you have practiced swordsmanship.” Li Xu took out a sword from his storage bag.

It was a long sword, with a cold light flashing on it. As the spiritual power gathered, pale sword energy cut on the blade.

Swish, swish, swish.

Li Xu held the sword in his right hand, and his clothes moved without wind.

At this time, Tang Sheng’s attack also came. His sword hit in front of him, and spiritual power began to cut, and the wind rolled on the blade.

The momentum was amazing, and the sword stabbed out, and the cold light was ten feet.

Tang Sheng used the swordsmanship that he thought was more powerful.

However, he didn’t expect that it was not worth mentioning in front of Li Xu. Any fancy tricks became a simple wave of his hand in front of Li Xu, and the cold light he had created completely dissipated.

But this was also what he expected. He continued to attack, his figure changed, and his speed also increased.

The sword energy was everywhere, and the sword was constantly ringing.

Countless winds appeared on the blade, and a few scattered fallen leaves on the ground flew up, and were constantly cut into pieces by the sword energy.

The spiritual power continued to surge out, raging around, and the sword energy continued to roar, sounding in the space, and gorgeous moves continued to be performed.

Tang Sheng launched a fierce attack, but Li Xu stood in place, with one hand on his back, motionless, holding the sword in his right hand to gently resist, and dissolving his moves with one sword.

Li Xu’s speed was so fast, which Tang Sheng did not expect.

According to his understanding, Li Xu was not good at using the sword. He only knew how to use the sword as a weapon, and he knew nothing about the use of the sword.

Unexpectedly, his swordsmanship was so exquisite in today’s sword, and his grasp of sword skills was so high.

Tang Sheng’s fighting spirit became stronger, and the spiritual power surged out. The power continued to gather on the sword, and the figure continued to sweep out and began to attack Li Xu.

Dozens of violent attacks still didn’t make Li Xu move a single step. His face was normal, as if he was very relaxed.

Tang Sheng fully mobilized his spiritual power, which was boiling, and the sound of the sword was loud.

The air near the sword erupted with ripples, like cracks cutting the void. Gradually, the sword blade began to bend, as if it had turned into a python.

Dean Qinglian, who was staring at the sun, came back to his senses at this time, looked in the direction of the sword, and found that Li Xu was standing there motionless.

Tang Sheng launched a fierce attack, like a violent storm, fierce and unusual.

The sword blade in Tang Sheng’s hand was bent, as if a python was swimming. Dean Qinglian knew that this was Tang Sheng’s most proud Taoist method, the strange python turned over.

The sword blade in his hand was like a giant python, constantly swallowing and spitting out its tongue, hissing.

In the eyes of Dean Qinglian, Tang Sheng’s sword moves had been practiced to perfection, but he was facing the weirdo Li Xu, and his fancy swordsmanship was useless.

“Bang bang bang…”

Brilliant sparks came out from the swords of the two men, like the sound of hammering iron, crisp and loud.

“Hah.”

Tang Sheng kept attacking, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

Because Li Xu was still standing there with his hands behind his back, leisurely resisting his sword moves.

He attacked again, his spiritual power gathered, and the sword in his hand changed again. His steps moved around Li Xu, and the tip of the sword surged out.

After a circle, Tang Sheng stood in front of it, flicked his fingers lightly, and the crisp sound of the sword burst out. The sword energy that hit Li Xu around him suddenly turned into a circle of crescent moons.

There were hundreds of crescent moons, which gathered from all directions and began to attack Li Xu continuously. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

But the next moment, the smile solidified, and Li Xu struck out with a sword, and the sword energy surrounded him, so he shot out a round of circular sword light, directly shattering all the crescent moons surrounding him.

Tang Sheng was stunned: “I didn’t expect your swordsmanship to be so powerful. I thought you were not good at swordsmanship.”

Li Xu shook his head and said, “No, I don’t know swordsmanship at all. I just rely on my strong spiritual power. I only know the basics of swordsmanship.” Just know

the basics?

Tang Sheng was speechless: “Are people nowadays so humble?” He

is so powerful, but he only knows the basics. How much else can he do and what are he good at? Tang Sheng was extremely shocked.

He specializes in swordsmanship, but he is still not as good as Li Xu who knows the basics. Comparing yourself with others is really annoying.

Seeing Tang Sheng’s dull expression, Li Xu said, “I really only know a little bit. If we talk about the proficiency of swordsmanship, I really can’t beat you. If I didn’t have rich combat experience and huge spiritual power, I would definitely lose to you. If you don’t believe me, ask your master.”

“Don’t ask me.”

Dean Qinglian blurted out. You, Li Xu, are really too modest. Seeing Tang Sheng looking over, Dean Qinglian explained:

“Don’t listen to his nonsense. You are still far behind. However, you don’t have to compete with him. There is no comparison. You have to compete with all the people who practice swordsmanship. You have to defeat all the people who practice swordsmanship before you can dominate swordsmanship.”

“Hmm.” Tang Sheng seemed to be thinking about something.

Li Xu patted his shoulder: “Your master is right, practice well.”

He planned to go find Daxu.

Seeing Li Xu was about to leave, Tang Sheng quickly stopped him and seized the opportunity to say, “I just fought with you for a while. Did you find anything else? Can you give me some pointers?”

Li Xu thought for a while and said, “Didn’t your master tell you?”

Tang Sheng scratched his head and looked at Dean Qinglian.

Dean Qinglian was stunned, looking at Li Xu, and asked with some doubts in his heart: “I don’t think there is a problem. Is there a problem with his swordsmanship?”

Tang Sheng is the most hardworking person he has ever seen.

His swordsmanship is very stable, and he has not found any problems after sparring with him for so long.

Li Xu’s question made him confused. He really didn’t find any problems. He stood up and walked to Li Xu to ask humbly:

“What exactly is his problem?”

Tang Sheng also looked at Li Xu seriously.

Li Xu thought for a while and said: “He is now in the second-grade realm. His spiritual power is very stable. His Taoism is good and his foundation is very solid. Naturally, there is no problem, but… there is one thing, I don’t know if I should say it?”

“…” Tang Sheng looked at him blankly and said it quickly, don’t be taboo.

“You should say it.”

Dean Qinglian looked at Li Xu with shining eyes. He didn’t expect that Tang Sheng would have a pleasant surprise after sparring with Li Xu casually.

He always thought that Tang Sheng had no problems. Now think about it carefully.

Not finding it is the biggest problem.

Now that Li Xu has discovered the problem, it means that Tang Sheng is making progress. As a master, he is naturally happy for him. He rubs his hands happily and looks forward to Li Xu’s answer.

Seeing the earnest eyes of the two, Li Xu touches his head and says, “Then I really have to say it. If it’s not right, don’t take it to heart.”
