Chapter 351: Former Student

Returning from the Northern Frontier to the Divine Capital, Liu Banbi stared at Wei Xu with some interest, as if finding it hard to comprehend that Wei Xu had stepped into the Nepenthe Realm.

Liu Banbi had ventured to the Northern Frontier very early on, and when he left the academy, he was not a sword immortal. Similarly, at that time, Wei Xu was just an ordinary scholar who had not reached this realm. He killed demons for many years in the Northern Frontier's wind and snow, finally stepping into the realm of Sword Immortal. It was an incredible achievement. However, he did not expect that Wei Xu, who had been quietly studying in the academy, would also step into this realm one day.

Over the years, Liu Banbi had not actively paid attention to the academy's developments. It was only today that he realized Wei Xu had reached this realm. Therefore, his earlier surprise was quite understandable.

Wei Xu did not have many nice things to say about this fellow apprentice. However, since he appeared here, Wei Xu understood that regardless of the purpose behind Liu Banbi's inquiry, whether intentional or not, the final outcome would no longer continue.

Turning to leave, Wei Xu was stopped by Liu Banbi's shout, "Wei Xu, care for a duel? You were not as good as me back then in studying, let's see if you're still inferior to me when it comes to fighting now?"

Liu Banbi looked at Wei Xu with a sly smile. At his waist, the Embracing Cicada trembled slightly at this moment. Although the sound was not loud, the sword qi was abundant, and the sword intent was fierce. In the midst of the snowstorm, with the sword qi surging, it seemed that the next moment, the flying sword would unsheathe, and spill the blood of this fellow disciple on the spot.

Feeling the pervasive sword intent between heaven and earth, Wei Xu showed no signs of fear. He just smiled slightly and said, "After returning to the academy, are you not paying Teacher a visit?"

Hearing this, Liu Banbi furrowed his brows slightly, but in the end, the sword intent that filled the sky dissipated completely at this moment.

Embracing Cicada was originally slightly out of the sheathw. At this moment, it returned to the sheathe completely.

Wei Xu did not say anything more and turned to leave.

Liu Banbi then walked towards Xie Nandu with a smile. After getting a clear look at the girl's face under the umbrella, he could not help but marvel sincerely, "When we hadn't met, Senior Brother always thought that since Little Junior Sister is a genius girl who later chose to practice the sword too, you might not be so perfect in other aspects. But who would have thought that Junior Sister's appearance is also extraordinarily beautiful? Senior Brother hasn't seen many women, but judging by Junior Sister's looks, you can be considered one of the most perfect women in the world."

Although Liu Banbi had studied under the Dean at the academy in his early years, after many years of practicing the sword in the snowy wilderness, he had lost all traces of being a scholar. Now, his way of speaking carried the taste of the howling winds and snow.

Xie Nandu looked at this senior brother she had never met before. From start to end, she only smiled slightly and nodded. She then politely replied, "Senior Brother is too kind in your praise."

But cultivating the sword was cultivating the sword. Now, even his junior sister was practicing the sword too. Although such a thing was uncommon, it was not considered too outrageous. What was truly outrageous was that after cultivating the sword, he had stopped studying altogether. That was the most disastrous part.

Thinking that he might have to face the disappointed eyes of his teacher, Liu Banbi, this sword immortal who had once gone on a massacre amidst the demon army, now felt a lack of confidence.

He glanced pitifully at his junior sister, but Xie Nandu did not spare a glance at her senior brother at the moment.

Her gaze had been fixed on Chen Chao all along.

Liu Banbi sighed, wondering if his careful guidance before had failed to make his junior sister grateful to him.

Liu Banbi who felt very hurt did not say anything. He turned around and left this sorrowful place.

After this sword cultivator in green left, Chen Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Banbi seemed friendly, but in reality, when he spoke earlier, there was always a sword intent circulating around Chen Chao.

It was very dangerous.

Now that both senior brothers had left, Xie Nandu spoke, "Senior Brother Wei wouldn't have killed you earlier, whether I came out or not."

Chen Chao made a sound in acknowledgment and then said, "I know he was testing you."

Indeed, Wei Xu's stance was not testing Chen Chao but rather, testing Xie Nandu.

"In that case, you shouldn't have come out."

Chen Chao looked at Xie Nandu and said, "Revealing your weakness isn't a good thing."

Xie Nandu did not speak.
