Chapter 432: I Am Just A Grandson!

A mysterious swordsman who likes wearing a blue robe and is always accompanied by a white-furred beast? Could it be Grandfather? Fuck! Ye Guan inwardly cursed out of surprise.

Xuanyuan Ling noticed the subtle change in Ye Guan's expression.

“Young Master Ye, could that swordsman be you?” she asked tentatively.

“Do you know if the mysterious swordsman has any other distinctive features?” Ye Guan asked, sounding serious.

Xuanyuan Ling shook her head. “I'm not sure. It has been so many years, after all.”

Ye Guan fell silent. Xuanyuan Ling's description made Ye Guan feel that the mysterious swordsman was Yang Ye. He truly didn't expect that Yang Ye had a connection with the Xuanyuan Clan, and the revelation made Ye Guan feel even more curious about the so-called Ancestral Sword of the Xuanyuan Clan.

A sword that Yang Ye once wielded couldn't be ordinary.

"As I said, it's a sword that's been passed down in the family, but over the years, none of our Xuanyuan Clan descendants have been able to draw it, so it has never seen the world again since it was returned," Xuanyuan Ling said.

Ye Guan snapped back to reality and asked. “Do you want me to give it a shot?”

Xuanyuan Ling nodded. "Yes!"

Ye Guan smiled. “I can give it a try!”

Xuanyuan Ling went silent upon hearing that.

Ye Guan asked, “What’s wrong?”

Xuanyuan Ling smiled wryly. “Outsiders aren't allowed to try and draw it out."

Ye Guan smiled bitterly and asked, “Why did you even ask me to come here, then?”

"Wait," Ye Guan said, realizing something. “Can a partner of a Xuanyuan Clan member try it?”

Xuanyuan Ling nodded and said, "Yes."

Ye Guan stared deeply at Xuanyuan Ling and began to mull over it.

Should I trade my body for a sword? Ye Guan hesitated. Honestly, Xuanyuan Ling was a great person.

Xuanyuan Ling blushed upon seeing Ye Guan's strange expression.

"Don't jump to conclusions. Pretending to be a couple is enough."

Ye Guan frowned. "Pretend?"

Xuanyuan Ling nodded. "Exactly."

Ye Guan asked, "How do we go about pretending?"

Xuanyuan Ling glanced at Ye Guan's face before saying, "We just have to be a bit more intimate."

Ye Guan pondered for a moment before asking, "Like holding hands, you mean?"

Xuanyuan Ling nodded. "Yes."

"Alright," Ye Guan said, nodding. His curiosity about the sword his grandfather once wielded overcame any reservations he had about the idea.

Xuanyuan Ling continued, "Since we're basically performing, we have to give it our all. From now on, I want you to address me as Ling'er rather than Miss Ling, okay?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Sure."

Xuanyuan Ling nodded as well and added, "Also, during our time together, try to make our interactions seem more intimate. Remember, it's just acting, don't overthink it, okay?"

Ye Guan nodded once more. "Got it."

Xuanyuan Ling smiled. "Has any sword here managed to catch your eye?"

Ye Guan shook his head.

"How about I show you around outside?" Xuanyuan Ling suggested.

"Sure," Ye Guan replied with a grin. He turned on his heel and strolled toward the exit.

"Hey!" Xuanyuan Ling called out.

Ye Guan cast a confused gaze at Xuanyuan Ling.

Xuanyuan Ling blinked playfully. "Have you already forgotten it?"

Ye Guan hesitated briefly before grabbing Xuanyuan Ling's hand. "Let's go!"

A furious blush painted Xuanyuan Ling's cheeks, and her heart started to pound madly against her chest. She tried her best to keep her composure, but her efforts seemed futile.

Out of the blue, Ye Guan asked, "Ling... er... um, what will you gain from helping me get your family's ancestral sword?"

Ye Guan sat cross-legged and circulated his cultivation method. The spiritual energy in the air soon converged above him, creating a vortex.

Ye Guan decided to absorb the spiritual energy in the air rather than directly absorbing the spiritual energy inside the spiritual vein beneath him. Ye Guan was afraid that the spiritual vein would wither if he were to do such a thing.

After a while, Ye Guan stood up. He had gathered a ton of spiritual energy—ten times more spiritual energy than he had before he started absorbing, yes, ten times!

This meant that Ye Guan would no longer have any issues fighting a Master.

Xuanyuan Ling smiled. "How does it feel?"

Ye Guan took a moment to sense the spiritual energy inside him and smiled. "Ever thought about flying?"

Xuanyuan Ling blinked and asked, "On a sword?"

Ye Guan nodded.

"Yes!" Xuanyuan Ling said eagerly.

A thought was all it took for Yunxiu to take to the skies. The elegant sword carved beautiful arcs in the air. Ye Guan held Xuanyuan Ling's hand and assisted her in hopping onto the sword. Then, the sword transformed into a streak of light that zipped through the sky.

Ye Guan chose to employ the Royal Sword Art to manipulate the sword rather than to use the meager spiritual energy that he had gathered painstakingly.

Xuanyuan Ling screamed and clung desperately to Ye Guan as the two of them flew across the skies. Ye Guan stiffened. He didn't expect that Xuanyuan Ling would end up screaming and clinging to him for life.

Ye Guan felt a bit awkward as Xuanyuan Ling clung desperately to him. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Miss Ling, don't be scared. Open your eyes and take a look around."

Xuanyuan Ling cautiously opened her eyes, but she immediately closed her eyes upon seeing that the mountain beneath them had shrunk to the size of a basketball, and she went beyond pallid at the realization that they were so high up in the skies.

Ye Guan frowned, sensing something amiss. "What's wrong?"

"I-I-I'm afraid of heights!" Xuanyuan Ling exclaimed.

Afraid of heights? Ye Guan was taken aback. Moments later, he shook his head and smiled. He then held Xuanyuan Ling's waist and said, "Don't be scared. I'm here to support you."

However, Xuanyuan Ling shook her head vigorously.

Ye Guan chuckled and pointed out. "I thought you wanted to become a swordsman and that you wanted to fly on a sword? What's the point of learning how to fly on a sword if you're afraid of heights?"

Xuanyuan Ling trembled upon hearing Ye Guan's remark. Moments later, she opened her eyes slowly. She was still afraid, but she was no longer as afraid as she was earlier.

Ye Guan also decided to slow down.

After a while, Xuanyuan Ling let out a lengthy exhale. Then, excitement filled her eyes as she exclaimed, "I really am flying on a sword!”

Ye Guan smiled."Yes, you really are flying on a sword."

As Xuanyuan Ling was about to speak, a sudden realization painted her face red. They were very close to each other, and her hands were still wrapped around Ye Guan's waist. In addition, there was a pinkish air around them.

Xuanyuan Ling was about to retract her hands out of embarrassment, but she stopped, clearly conflicted.

Ye Guan sensed Xuanyuan Ling's hesitation and gradually steered the sword back to the mountain summit. The two soon descended, and Ye Guan helped Xuanyuan Light alight from the sword. Xuanyuan Ling promptly let go of Ye Guan's hand upon alighting from the sword, but her eyes glimmered with a bit of disappointment.

Ye Guan grinned. "How was it?"

"It was pretty great..." Xuanyuan Ling muttered. Then, she stared excitedly at Ye Guan and asked, "One day, can I fly on a sword like you?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Certainly! The spiritual energy on this summit and your talent are more than enough for you to learn how to fly on a sword! It's all a matter of time!"

Xuanyuan Ling lowered her head and said softly, "But... I'm scared."

Ye Guan chuckled and said, "No worries. I'll be your guide by then, and I'm sure you'll overcome the fear of heights after a few flights."

"You're going to guide me?" Xuanyuan Ling said, "That's a promise, okay?”

Ye Guan nodded.

Xuanyuan Ling grinned and said, "Okay, let's go down!"

The two then went down the mountain while holding hands. During their descent, Xuanyuan Ling suddenly asked, "Is your desire to see my family's Ancestral Sword related to that blue-robed swordsman?"

Ye Guan nodded without saying anything.

Xuanyuan Ling stared at Ye Guan and asked, "Do you know that swordsman?"

Ye Guan responded, "Yes, I do."

Xuanyuan Ling's eyes shone in curiosity, and she asked, "If you can use the entirety of your cultivation, who is stronger between you and him?"

Ye Guan shook his head and chuckled. "I'm just a 'grandson'[1] in front of him!”

Xuanyuan Ling had no idea what to say.

1. Ye Guan is technically Yang Ye's grandson, but he's also humbling himself before Yang Ye by saying that he is Yang Ye's grandson. Confusing, I know xD. ?
