Chapter 185 – Do you think being a teacher is so miserable?

After leaving the grand hall, Meng Fan and Ye Qingyu left the Ye family without any obstacles, and no one tried to stop them.

Ye Qingyu had no idea what had transpired in the grand hall after she entered.

But she could imagine that Meng Fan must have subdued her family.

Otherwise, her family wouldn't have behaved so obediently.

However, she never expected that Meng Fan almost killed them all!

Just a little more, and she would have unlocked the title bonus of "Heavenly Fiend Lone Star."

After all, if Meng Fan had really killed the Ye family, then theoretically, Ye Qingyu would be an accomplice.

Actually, it's not even theoretical; she would indeed be an accomplice.

No way to wash that off!

Fortunately, Meng Fan had a kind heart.

A passively kind heart!

Mainly, he was reluctant to waste Elder Lin's Sword Seal.

If Meng Fan's cultivation level were strong enough, those people who provoked him repeatedly would have been dead by now!

***

After leaving the Ye family, the two set off on their way back to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

This time, nothing unexpected happened.

Three days later, they returned smoothly to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Ye Qingyu bid farewell to Meng Fan and went back to the Alchemy Hall.

Before leaving, she reminded Meng Fan that if he ever needed any pills, he could come to her for refining.

She promised to keep her word and only charge him the cost of the raw materials.

If Meng Fan prepared the materials himself, she would refine the pills for him free of charge.

Meng Fan smiled broadly.

This trip down the mountain had been incredibly rewarding for him.

Not only did he acquire the Sword Immortal of Alchemy's sword formation techniques, but he also found a divine sword.

On top of that, he no longer had to worry about pills in the future.

It was a triple win.

***

Feeling quite pleased with himself, Meng Fan returned to the Sword Pavilion.

First, he greeted Senior Disciple Luo on the first floor, then headed to the second floor.

Although divine swords were precious, he didn't mind giving it to Elder Lin.

After all, he couldn't use it right now!

By the time his cultivation level was high enough to use a divine sword, he didn't think he would lack one.

Elder Lin shook his head and said, "I appreciate your filial piety, but you should keep the Azure Fish Sword for yourself."

"Master, don't be polite with me. I really can't use this sword right now," Meng Fan insisted, thinking Elder Lin was just being courteous.

Elder Lin laughed, "The Azure Fish Sword is a divine sword. Since it is willing to stay by your side, it is your destiny and fortune.

If you give it to me, it might become dissatisfied.

Besides, do you think your master is doing so poorly that he doesn't even have a divine sword?"

At this point, Meng Fan understood.

Elder Lin didn't lack divine swords, so he didn't care about the Azure Fish Sword.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Elder Lin was the Sword Elder of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Although Meng Fan didn't know what was special about the position of Sword Elder or how it differed from an ordinary Elder, the title "Sword Elder" sounded quite impressive.

A mere divine sword wouldn't matter much to Elder Lin.

Moreover, Elder Lin was in charge of the Demon Locking Sword, the treasure of Shu Mountain.

If the Demon Locking Sword were ever unsealed, what would a divine sword be worth?

Meng Fan smiled wryly, realizing his perspective was too narrow!

"I was indeed being presumptuous. But Master, I think the Sword Immortal of Alchemy's 'Small Thousand Sword Formation' has some profound aspects that complement our sect's 'Myriad Swords Art.'"

Meng Fan then began discussing the "Small Thousand Sword Formation" with Elder Lin. Although he called it a discussion, he was actually trying to teach Elder Lin the sword formation while respecting his master's dignity.

What he had said at the Ye family was true; the "Small Thousand Sword Formation" had some profound aspects that were hard to describe in words.

He couldn't fully explain the sword formation; many parts required Elder Lin to comprehend on his own.

But with Elder Lin's deep understanding of Sword Dao, he would surely gain a lot.

***

After five hours, it was nearing midnight.

Elder Lin stretched his neck and said, "This sword formation is indeed marvelous. I have a general understanding of it now. I'll figure out the rest on my own. You've been very thoughtful. Go get some rest!"

He understood that Meng Fan was intentionally teaching him the "Small Thousand Sword Formation."

For him, the formation was somewhat useful, but its utility was limited.

However, at his current realm, any progress was extremely valuable!

"Master, there's one more thing," Meng Fan said, not leaving yet.

"What is it?" Elder Lin asked.
