Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1619 - 133: Frightening Cultivation Speed!

Zhou Yan looked at Zhuge Xiye at this moment and couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.

Even though Zhuge Xiye was like a role model in any situation, achieving perfection in every aspect, at this moment, in Zhou Yan’s eyes, she was still a naive young girl, still just a child.

Because her emotions were utterly uncontrolled, even her thoughts were chaotic.

The previous coldness she had disappeared, seemingly due to some events, making her extremely agitated and unable to control herself.

This kind of situation is not beneficial for cultivation, and it is a great taboo in the cultivation of the Heavenly Mechanism Skill.

However, Zhuge Xiye knew this, yet she still behaved this way, which was enough to prove that, in her eyes, some matters were more important than these taboos.

So what is this matter? It’s actually self-evident.

"You are very excited."

Zhou Yan said.

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Xiye restrained her extremely excited emotions, but still gently exhaled a breath of impure air, nodded, and said softly, "Yes, your talent is indeed remarkable, so I can see the bright future of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect from you."

"However—"

Zhuge Xiye spoke, immediately showing a look of worry, and said, "But you are so fond of causing trouble, many people probably view you as a thorn in their side, eager to find ways to eliminate you. And your cultivation—"

"In the future, I will protect you by your side until your strength surpasses mine."

Zhuge Xiye seemed to have made some decision, with a determined tone.

Her thoughtfulness actually made Zhou Yan quite gratified, but Zhou Yan would hardly need anyone’s protection.

Zhou Yan smiled calmly and said, "With me in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, its rise is assured, without a doubt. As for being seen as a thorn in one’s side, that doesn’t matter. Because every strong person walks over endless bones; I am destined to be an unparalleled powerhouse, so I will tread that path as well."

In addition, although I have no cultivation realm now, my sheer physical combat power isn’t much less than yours.

If it comes to life-and-death battles, I have at least a thousand ways to kill you."

Zhou Yan said seriously.

"Depending on Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s Supreme Treasure, I am indeed not your opponent."

Zhuge Xiye pondered for a moment and said.

"What I mean is to fight you empty-handed, not relying on weapons. This is something Zhang Yuyang and Xia Houchen have already demonstrated, can’t you see it?"

Zhou Yan retorted.

Zhuge Xiye was taken aback, although she didn’t want to admit it, it seemed to be true.

Zhuge Xiye fell silent for a moment and said, "Do you really look down on me? Am I, in your eyes, so insignificant?"

Zhuge Xiye asked.

This time, her words showed a bit of gloomy color.

It seemed that it was a woman’s sense of loss in front of a genius.

Although Zhuge Xiye had a cold and indifferent personality like an icy beauty, the pressure she bore was still great, especially as the sole pillar in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, this pressure was quite enormous.

Under such pressure, she could only maintain her coldness and majesty and rarely showed the disposition of a young girl.

But in reality, Zhuge Xiye was only around twenty years old, and still merely a young girl harboring feelings of love.

When the pressure temporarily disappeared, Zhuge Xiye’s girlish disposition inevitably surfaced.

This is the change in Zhuge Xiye’s current disposition and the presentation of emotions.

Zhou Yan understood this, so he knew that this time he really couldn’t be careless in his response.

"You are actually very good, it’s just that the environment and world you and I inhabit are different, and you cannot comprehend this. Besides, I have no heart for the Red Dust, I only focus on becoming stronger."

"On another note, your talent is actually quite good too; the reason you cannot compare to me is because I have walked more paths than you. When a person goes through more, their disposition naturally changes completely."

"Thus, this has no relation to your excellence or otherwise. Like those strong elders, they are sufficiently excellent, right? Yet, in my eyes, they are merely ordinary ants, if I wish to kill them, I simply wouldn’t hesitate. Do you understand this mindset?"

Zhou Yan said earnestly.

He didn’t hope for Zhuge Xiye to have feelings for him.

He didn’t want to bear these, nor was he willing to bear these.

Because fundamentally, they were not from the same world nor at the same level.

"Perhaps I can also relate to what you are saying because I have walked this path myself before. It’s just, you are younger than me, how can you have so many sentiments? You really are a peculiar person."

Zhuge Xiye’s mood improved a lot, of course, she herself is not a person who would be gloomy, it’s just that due to Zhou Yan she encountered too many shocks, breaking many conventional understandings, causing momentary feelings of gloom.

Once she recovered, she was still that strong and indifferent young girl.

At this moment, Zhuge Xiye’s perception towards Zhou Yan improved slightly, thus, Zhou Yan’s flaw of boasting seemed gradually more acceptable.

"Peculiar? I am indeed a peculiar... person."

Zhou Yan smiled with enigmatic significance and said.

"Ah, let’s not talk about these, if you don’t understand cultivation, I will teach you from the basics. During this period, I will regard myself as a real maid, serving you well."
