My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 635: I Just Made a Small Move

“Feng’er, are you okay?” Second Mother asked worriedly.

Bai Qui immediately took out a white handkerchief from her pocket and pretended to be worried, “Wipe it quickly.”

Qin Feng caught the warning in the other party’s eyes, his lips twitched slightly and he took the handkerchief to wipe off the tea stain at the corner of his mouth, “It’s my fault for drinking too fast, I didn’t realise the tea was still a bit hot.”

“It’s best to blow on the tea before you drink it. Be more careful next time,” Bai Qui said with a smile.

What a good girl… Second Mother was very pleased with Bai Qui’s behaviour. The daughter-in-law she wanted was just such a dignified and virtuous type.

However, Bai Qui’s behaviour made some people who knew her feel quite uncomfortable.

Bai Wushuang even said directly, “Qui’er, did you eat something bad on the way here? Why do I get the feeling that you’re not quite yourself?”

Bai Qui’s eyelids twitched slightly, but she kept a sweet smile on her face, “Elder sister, what are you talking about? Aren’t I always like this?”

Seeing that Bai Wushuang was about to speak again, Bai Qui reluctantly pushed over her bowl of food, “I haven’t had much of an appetite lately. Elder sister, why don’t you eat mine?”

Unknown to her, Bai Qui felt like her heart was bleeding as she watched the delicious food being eaten.

Qin Feng couldn’t help but sigh at this scene, ‘The power of love is truly great…’

It took a long time before Bai Wushuang finally gave up.

During the meal, Second Mother always praised Bai Qui and subtly asked, “If An’er’s future wife is like Miss Bai Qiu, then I’m afraid I’ll wake up laughing in my dreams.”

“Auntie is joking. I’m not as good as you say I am,” Bai Qui said shyly, her happiness was evident in her eyes. She felt that suppressing her appetite tonight and not revealing her true nature was all worth it.

Meanwhile, Bai Yan remained silent and continued to drink heavily.

Taking advantage of the lull, Qin Feng inquired, “It seems like it’s been a while since we last parted ways with Senior Bai. Since you have come to Imperial City this time as a representative of the Sword Dao Alliance, are you here to establish a branch?”

Bai Yan put down his wine glass and nodded, “Indeed. Ever since the Sword Dao Alliance was founded, we’ve been spreading martial arts teachings to the world. Nowadays, you can almost see the presence of the Sword Dao Alliance everywhere in the Heavenly City of the Great Qian.”

“Many martial arts noble families have also been influenced, and have begun to open martial arts schools and teach to the public.” 

“In order to completely break the status quo of the martial arts families in The Great Qian clinging to their own traditions, Sect Master Yue, the Military House, and I have discussed coming to the Imperial City, hoping to gain Emperor Ming’s approval to allow us to establish Sword Dao Alliance martial arts schools here and spread the martial arts of the three great sword families.”

“I see.” Qin Feng nodded slightly and then asked, “By the way, Senior Bai, I learned from the letter my second brother sent back that there seems to be a decrease in demon and ghost disaster in the Southern Domain lately. Could it be that something unexpected has happened in the Southern Domain?”

It was well known that the yin and yang in the Southern Domain were imbalanced, so the demons and ghosts were extremely powerful, and the frequency and danger of ghost troubles far exceeded those in the other three domains.

As the saying goes, abnormal events must have demons behind them. His second brother was single-mindedly focused on cultivation and might not have understood the potential dangers behind this change, so as the elder brother, he naturally had to be concerned.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yan’s eyes also showed a hint of seriousness. “I am also quite puzzled about this. As a matter of fact, the disciples of the Sword Dao Alliance often have to go out to hunt demons and ghosts for their training.”

“So we were the first to notice this strange change. If I remember correctly, the time when the ghost problems in the Southern Domain decreased was shortly after the natural disasters in the Western Domain.”

Qin Feng’s brow furrowed at the words, his mind suddenly filled with thoughts of those powerful and mysterious ghost-faced individuals.

Could there be the shadows of those guys behind the turmoil in the Southern Domain?

‘The Garuda Clan, Spirit Veins, the demons and ghosts of the Night Of The Divine Feast and the Netherworld Realm… What are the intentions of those people who are pursuing these things?’

As for those mysterious ghost-faced individuals, Qin Feng naturally inquired, but all he got from Lord Deng was the phrase ‘Heavenly Burial Organisation’.

As for the Heavenly Tower National Teacher, he received no answer.

However, he could still sense the unusual nature of those ghost-faced individuals from the Heaven Tower National Teacher’s expression.

It makes sense. How could those who dared to raid the Ninefold Prison in the Imperial City be ordinary?

‘After the disaster in the Western Domain, during the time when the ghost-faced individuals disappeared, the ghost troubles in the Southern Domain inexplicably decreased.’

‘For the sake of safety, wouldn’t it be best to call my second brother back to Imperial City?” Qin Feng couldn’t help but think such thoughts.

After all, the safety of his family would always come first for him.

At this moment, Bai Wushuang suddenly complained, interrupting his train of thought, “After reaching the third rank of the Profound Qi realm, I originally wanted to find some powerful demons and ghosts to test my own strength and hone my sword skills.”

“But those high Calamity Cycle Demons and Ghosts seemed to vanish into thin air and were nowhere to be found.”

“If I had known earlier, I would have returned to the Sword Emperor City in the Eastern Domain. There might have been a chance to fight with the Asura Clan.”

Of course, the Asura Clan’s departure from the farthest reaches of the Eastern Domain and their rampage all the way to the Imperial City was well known throughout the Great Qian.

The Betting Duel, in particular, has been heralded by the world as a miracle.

The long-lost Northern Ghost Head reappeared and single-handedly suppressed the Asura Tribe’s Strength King.

 Liu Jianli, the sweet girl of heaven, had a sword technique “Thirty Thousand Miles” that was beyond technique but almost Dao. The power of a sword that shook heaven and the earth.

And Qin Feng’s last battle overturned the world’s understanding of the Literature Saint Dao Lineage. His moves were as graceful as an immortal, and even attracted the daughter of King Asura to fall in love with him!

As Bai Wushuang recounted the rumours she had heard, she looked at Qin Feng and said, “I didn’t expect you to grow to such greatness in just a year.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng couldn’t help but straighten his posture, after all, being praised by a beauty always satisfied a man’s vanity.

He casually replied, “I originally wanted to keep a low profile as a scholar, but unfortunately, the discerning eyes of the Heavenly Tower National Teacher saw through me and knew that I was the one for this fourth stage battle. As it turned out, all I had to do was move a little and I knew the limit of this realm.”

This statement couldn’t have been more pretentious, and it caught the attention of everyone in the hall.

Father Qin was sipping tea, but when he heard this, he choked on his drink and coughed a few times.

As the head of the family, how could he allow his own son to steal the limelight? He asked, “The battle between the humans and the Asura tribe was indeed remarkable. Unfortunately, I happened to be doing business in the Southern Domain at the time and was not in the Imperial City. However, I often hear people say that the reason the humans were able to achieve the final victory in that battle was because Lord Ghost Head won the first battle, which boosted the morale of the human race. Is that true?”

‘How shameless…’ Qin Feng’s mouth twitched.

Bai Yan also cast a strange look. 

When Father Qin said these words, he was hoping that Bai Wushuang would take the bait and boast about his glorious achievements. However, Bai Wushuang didn’t seem interested and said casually, “Oh, I’m not sure. After all, people often talk about Liu Jianli and Qin Feng. Perhaps in the eyes of the world, it’s only natural for the Senior Northern Ghost Head to defeat the Asura Tribe.”

Seeing Father Qin’s dazed expression, Qin Feng struggled to hold back his laughter.

Bai Wushuang paused, turned her head to look at Liu Jianli, and then spoke again: “But I am curious to know, how far can one’s swordsmanship that is close to the Dao reach?”

“It just so happens that you and I have not sparred for a long time. Why don’t we take this opportunity to exchange tips?”

As her words fell, the atmosphere in the hall changed instantly.
