Chapter 52: Untitled

“I’ll try.” Although she said it very casually, Zhen Xueyan’s heart was set on it. With her strength of Level 5 blue aura and the purification of the Spirit Gathering Jade, she was confident that she could pull out this sword!

As soon as Zhen Xueyan came out, she immediately attracted the attention of many people. As the first place in the Spring Pageant of the previous year, Zhen Xueyan’s talent and beauty were widely recognized to be the best in West Capital. Not only that, but she was also a rare genius in cultivation. She was 20 years old now and already a master at the blue aura Level 5.

Zhen Xueyan was in a sky-blue long dress, her beautiful and fresh appearance fully interpreting the temperament of a white lotus flower.

She was used to the envious eyes around her. What she cared about was… Zhen Xueyan’s eyes slightly swept over to the man sitting above, her eyes full of obsession. However, she covered it up well…

She walked slowly to the sword and let her aura out. The blue light suddenly shone, engulfing her, and it seemed even hazier…

“Level 5 blue aura, she’s really West Capital’s number 1 genius!”

“I’m afraid that today’s sword will go into the Zhen family’s pocket…”

“Spirit Gathering Jade cooperating with Level 5 blue aura, it must be stable enough to pull out this sword!”

“…”

Instantly, whispers and talks could be heard. Even though many people were unwilling to let Zhen Xueyan get the sword, they had to admit her strength.

Cold Moon stood at the side and listened to everyone’s comments as she glanced coldly at Zhen Xueyan. Her face was quiet and calm, but there was disdain in her eyes.

This woman may be a rare beauty in West Capital and even in Western Chu, but the world was so big. In her opinion, Zhen Xueyan was at most ordinary. Even a little lacking! Such a vulgar person and she actually wanted to pull out the Sword of Mysterious Wind? And she coveted their respected Lord? She was clearly dreaming and did not know her place!

Receiving the envious glances, Zhen Xueyan’s face did not show it even though she was extremely proud inside. With a confident look, as she looked at the sword in front of her, the Spirit Gathering Jade in her hand came out, suspended in front of her, and then the blue aura in her hand slowly poured into the gem. After being purified by the gem, the pure silky aura was infused into the Sword of Mysterious Wind…

A large amount of aura was injected into the Sword of Mysterious Wind, which was instantly shrouded in a layer of blue light. After the purifying power of the Spirit Gathering Jade, it became more natural and closer to the natural spirits of heaven and earth.

Shuu~

A loud and sudden sound could be heard, but the Sword of Mysterious Wind showed no signs of flying out of the wooden box and started dancing instead…

Its cheerful figure was like a naughty child. The elegant postures and turns were like a stream of silver light, graceful as a dragon!

Such a scene surprised everyone, and they wondered in their hearts if the sword was really about to recognize its owner. This phenomenon had not happened before!

Zhen Xueyan was frightened by the sudden reaction of the sword, but she was reminded that everyone that had wanted to draw the sword before did not face such a reaction. She could not help but think, Could it be that the one destined with this sword is really me?

Thinking of this possibility, the heat in Zhen Xueyan’s eyes became more apparent. Because of the excitement, she no longer controlled her emotions, and the smile on her face became brighter as if she had really pulled out the sword…

Slap~

There was a stream of a flash, a clear sound, which suddenly came without any warning. Because of this sound, everyone recovered from their surprise, and they could not help but widen their eyes and open their mouths in amazement!

They could only see the joyous Sword of Mysterious Wind that had been dancing in the air magically fly in front of Zhen Xueyan. It used its spiritual power to slap Zhen Xueyan across her white and tender face with its slender sword body…

That great strength left a trace of redness on Zhen Xueyan’s white face.

However, it did not seem to end there.

Slap~

Slap~

Slap~

Time after time, the clear sound drifted over the entire palace for an instant. Everyone was completely lost. They stared with their mouths wide open, their faces pale as if they had seen a ghost.

Zhen Xueyan could not react. One second before, she had already seen the hope of drawing the sword successfully, and the next second she was slapped hard. Her eyes saw stars, dizzy, and she completely forgot how to respond…

The sword seemed to be extremely disgusted with Zhen Xueyan. With its quaint scabbard, it beat Zhen Xueyan fiercely. But Zhen Xueyan could not believe the facts in front of her. She stood there stupidly, letting the Sword of Mysterious Wind slap her from left to right.

Just like this, a strange scene unfolded…

After a long time, the Sword of Mysterious Wind seemed annoyed and twisted its body proudly, then quickly flew into the wooden box and remained motionless. That quiet gesture, if it was not for the obvious evidence on Zhen Xueyan’s face, no one would believe that it had just slapped Zhen Xueyan in a very shameless way…

Everyone was dumbfounded. The sword was lying in the wooden box, with a simple and heavy atmosphere around it, giving a very vague feeling. Was it really the cruel culprit just now?

But that was not the main point. The main point was, how dare you pretend to look innocent after hitting someone?

Everyone glanced at Zhen Xueyan, whose cheeks had become swollen, and swallowed. In other words, was this ugly pig head woman who they could not bear to look straight at, really West Capital’s number 1 talent and beauty? They silently mourned for Zhen Xueyan…

That was why one should not pretend to be a smartass or they would have their ass kicked!
