I Just Wanted to Live, but I Somehow Became Better Than the Main Character Chapter 60: It’s Dangerous to Go Out Alone

It was rely a sword intent that didn’t have any physical destructive power, yet it could affect the divine soul.

Qin Shi ng’s face turned pale, her breathing quickened, and she almost dropped the scroll.

Painted on the scroll was an unidentified sword, solemn and majestic, as if it was a divine soldier that had descended. It was the thing that had emanated the sword intent.

“Where did you find this painting?” The sword intent had greatly affected Qin Shi ng, but it didn’t do anything to An Yu Fang. After all, she was a sword cultivator at the 9th layer of the Ascension Realm, and the sword intent was only at the level of the Nascent Soul Realm. Even so, being a Nascent Soul Realm sword that existed within a scroll, it would greatly benefit Qin Shi ng if she observed it frequently and would accelerate her comprehension of the sword intent.

“It- it was a gift from Brother Yong.” Qin Shi ng was extrely shocked. She hadn’t expected such a significant difference between when the scroll was closed and when it was open and certainly hadn’t expected it to conceal and contain such sharp sword intent within it.

“You an that Ye Yong?” An Yu Fang, sitting on the jade cushion, seed to be contemplating sothing, and then she burst out in laughter. “7-color foundation, knows music, knows art, and even possesses formidable sword intent as well. Genius! Truly a genius! Shi ng, didn’t you have an engagent with him before? Why did you cancel it?”

“Master…” Qin Shi ng didn’t know how to respond because she felt like Ye Yong had been replaced by soone else halfway through.

“Well, whatever. You still contact each other, and it’s possible to reignite the old passion. You should communicate more with him. If this kid doesn’t die prematurely, he will definitely beco a Great Ascension Realm powerhouse and even a Saint.”

Ever since canceling their engagent and getting to know Ye Yong again, Qin Shi ng had never doubted his strength. She also believed that Ye Yong could achieve great things: “So why did you call here, Master?”

‘Just want to remind you to not casually interact with n. Not only will it affect your reputation, but it will also affect your cultivation. However, this Ye Yong is indeed worth interacting with and getting close to. When you get the chance, you can bring him here for to see, and I’ll carefully evaluate him for you.”

“What are you saying, Master? Brother Yong and I are just friends.”

“Friends can also beco partners. You being able to et a good man is your blessing. Thinking back, your master had way too high standards in the past, and no man could catch my eye. By the ti I realized, I was already old, and my cultivation had stopped progressing, so I stopped thinking about those things. Perhaps this is due to the frozen heart from the Frozen Heart Physique. You’re still young and haven’t cultivated the [Frozen Heart Art] for long, so your heart hasn’t completely ‘frozen’ yet. Your master hopes that you won’t follow the sa path as I did. Otherwise, when you grow old, the anguish of not having a companion or descendants by your side…”

“Master, you have now.” A day as a disciple, a lifeti as a father. For cultivators who valued relationships, a master was like a parent.

“Yes, this is sothing I can be reassured about now. Fortunately, you appeared in my later years. Otherwise, with my eyes, I wouldn’t have found anyone worthy of being my disciple. It’s all a problem,” An Yu Fang smiled, and her expression quickly beca serious again: “However, do rember that the Frozen Heart Art emphasizes nourishing the Yin Core. With your current cultivation level, it’s not good for you to have further developnt with n as it will slow down your progress.”

“Master, what are you saying? Brother Yong and I…”

“Young people occasionally act impulsively. Your master does not oppose you interacting with him; I just want to remind you to pay attention to your cultivation prospects. Alright alright, go about your business. If you encounter any problems in your cultivation, you can co to at any ti. I plan to go into seclusion for the next ten years so I can be available to answer your questions at all tis.”

“Disciple thanks Master,” Qin Shi ng bowed to An Yu Fang and then left the Elder’s Cave.

After Qin Shi ng left, An Yu Fang murmured to herself. “There are obvious traces of guidance from an Ascension Realm cultivator in that painting. The only Ascension Realm cultivator in the Music and Art Hall is that girl Mu Qing Yin. If he can receive guidance from her, it ans that not only is Ye Yong extrely talented in music and art, but he also has a good personality. Most important is that sword intent. If the painter’s comprehension of the sword hadn’t reached the Dao, then even with the guidance of a Void Realm powerhouse, the painter would not have been able to draw it. A person’s energy and ti are limited; so we’ll have to see whether he chooses to specialize in art or sword in the future. Trying to master both will ultimately lead to futile efforts.”

…

After Qin Shi ng left, Ye Yong urged Wu Xue to go into seclusion and cultivate. He planned to go to the Contribution Hall to buy the spiritual herbs needed to forge Lil Huan’s physique.

Aside from being able to exchange items with contribution points, the Contribution Hall also accepted spiritual stones. After all, spiritual stones were a kind of cultivation resource- cultivators could absorb the spiritual energy contained within the spiritual stones to improve themselves.

The Contribution Hall also allowed the exchange of contribution points for spiritual stones, but not the other way around. After all, contribution points were the disciples’ contributions to the sect. The higher the contribution points, the greater the chance of promotion. A few ordinary disciples had earned the qualification to beco inner disciples by tirelessly completing tasks, but it was extrely difficult to do.

Just as Ye Yong stepped out of the gate of the Music and Art Hall, Lu Xiao Xiao, who had been reading in the cabin, stopped him, and the other Golden Core Realm senior disciples appeared behind him out of nowhere.

“Junior Brother Ye, where are you planning to go?” Lu Xiao Xiao asked nervously.

“I’m planning to buy so materials from the Contribution Hall,” Ye Yong replied truthfully.

“You don’t need to go out yourself, Junior Brother Ye. Just call us for help whenever you need sothing.”

“Yeah yeah.”

“How can I do that? I can’t trouble my senior sisters.”

“There’s no trouble at all, we’re willing to help you run errands.”

“Uh…” Ye Yong was speechless. All of you are beautiful fairies regarded highly by many cultivators as ethereal fairies. Why are all of you acting like simps?

“There’s no need. It’s just a small matter; I can handle it myself.”

Seeing that Ye Yong still intended to go out, Lu Xiao Xiao and the others hurriedly said, “Younger Brother Ye, it’s dangerous for a boy to go out alone.”

“What if you encounter bad people?”

“Isn’t this… the Heavenly Luo Sect?” Ye Yong found it extrely strange. I can be robbed while buying stuff in my own sect?

“Yes, it’s the Heavenly Luo Sect, but the Heavenly Luo Sect is divided into 18 halls. Apart from our Music and Painting Hall, there are 17 other halls.”

“Is there a problem?”

“Junior Brother Ye, you may not know this, but on the day of the hall’s recruitnt, the music you played and the art you painted have been spread as godly performances. Of course, we agree with that, but the won outside… are in the end, not as gentle as us senior sisters and might not treat you nicely. What are we to do if one of them deceived you, Junior Brother Ye?”

What the hell? This conversation feels as if you’re senior brothers and I’m a junior sister. I can be deceived? Deceived about what? Sex?

Ye Yong waved his hand, “Senior sisters, please rest assured, I won’t be deceived that easily.”

“Then… let us accompany you, ok?” Yi Bai and the others truly cherished Ye Yong and feared he would be snatched away by other halls as soon as he went outside.

Ye Yong could tell that even if he refused them, they would still follow, so he nodded. Besides they could take him to the contribution hall, saving him the ti needed to spend to ask for directions.

…

The Contribution Hall was located on the first mountain, the Heavenly Luo Mountain. The Heavenly Luo Mountain lived up to its title of the first mountain, ranking first in size and abundance of spiritual power.

The Sect Master’s cave, so Elder’s caves, the sect’s treasury, and the Resolution Hall were all located there. As its na suggests, all etings and decision about important matters would take place in the Resolution Hall.

Speaking of the Resolution Hall and the elders, Ye Yong rembered he had a relative serving as an elder here, and it seed to be his great-grandfather, who was currently in seclusion. According to the plot of the novel, the great-grandfather only ca out of seclusion after the Ye Family had been annihilated, but he couldn’t directly act against a disciple of the sect, so he decided to expel the male lead from the sect first and then personally crush him.

At that ti, the male lead had already gained so reputation and status within the sect, and garnered support from many Nascent Soul Realm hall masters. Having failed to break through to the Void Realm, the great-grandfather of the Ye family had limited influence as he was only at the 10th layer of the Ascension Realm.

Although he didn’t directly try to kill the male lead, he continuously made his disciples find opportunities to try and kill him. In the end, all of his disciples died, making his mind explode and causing him to hold a grudge against the entire Heavenly Luo Sect.

However, he was very patient and laid low for a long ti. It wasn’t until a major event when the Heavenly Luo Sect sent out so hall masters and disciples to fight demons that he colluded with the demons and opened the sect formation, causing the Heavenly Luo Sect to suffer heavy casualties and causing many outstanding disciples and hall masters who had stayed behind to guard the sect to die.

Qin Shi ng’s master, An Yu Fang, also died in that battle to protect the sect.

Thinking of the novel, Ye Yong couldn’t help but sigh again at how amazing the Ye Yong in the novel was- single-handedly wiping out an entire family and the people around him.

But now that the novel Ye Yong has been replaced by him, Ye Yong would never allow such a thing to happen. The Ye family must be kept intact. Even if not for his family mbers, he would do it for his overprotective and doting mother. He didn’t want to see Lin Wei seek revenge all by herself.
