Chapter 35: The Annulment and the Sword Canon’s Secret

The new head of the Murong family felt that with their current status, there was no longer a need to maintain good relations with the small Zhangsun family.

So-called friendship was worthless in the face of power and status.

Instead of thinking about how to curry favor with the Zhangsun family, it was better to think about how to cling to the thigh of Mu Xianxian.

If his main family branch had any girls, Qin Yangjun estimated they would have already come to his door with a marriage proposal.

But despite their disdain, the Murong family was not a one-man show.
There were still many conservative elders within the family, and ancestral precepts to follow.
So, the head of the Murong family still chose to proceed with the marriage alliance.

According to the ancestral precepts, they put forward the eldest son of the Murong family, Murong Yunhai.

And the marriage partner was the second daughter of the Zhangsun family, Zhangsun Youyou.

Zhangsun Youyou was a genius with superior-grade spiritual roots.
She had also stumbled upon a fortuitous encounter, achieving the Heavenly Meridian Foundation Establishment at a young age, leaving her peers in the dust.

For someone like her, marrying Murong Yunhai was not considered marrying up; it was even considered marrying down.

But recently, the Zhangsun family had met with a mishap.

Zhangsun Youyou, who was originally a genius, had her cultivation crippled, falling directly from the Foundation Establishment stage to that of an ordinary person.

The head of the Murong family, who had always looked down on the Zhangsun family, finally found an opportunity to make trouble.

Next, it wouldn’t be long before that all-too-familiar scene played out.

That’s right, breaking off the engagement.

Thirty years the river flows east, thirty years the river flows west; do not bully the young for being poor.

What a classic line.

Before transmigrating, Qin Yangjun had wondered if he would ever have the chance to say such words if he were to transmigrate, but alas, fate always seemed to play jokes on him.

He didn’t become the one who said it, but instead became the one who heard it.

Although he wasn’t the target, his position was aligned with Murong Yunhai.

He didn’t want to be tied to this guy either, but he had no choice.
There were some things his sister didn’t know.

Murong Le was a true genius.
If she hadn’t been plotted against, she should have had the protagonist template.
Coming from the countryside, she reached the Mahayana realm in just thirty years.

She even became friends with a powerful figure like Mu Xianxian.

After Murong Le passed away, Mu Xianxian was immersed in grief and hatred.
She never even considered why Murong Le’s original family was still a small family even though she had reached the Mahayana realm.

In the book, Murong Le’s relationship with the Murong family was actually not good.
The Murong family valued boys over girls and wanted her to marry into a large local gang.
She was unwilling and ran away.

But Murong Le was an optimistic girl.
She wouldn’t spread negative emotions to Mu Xianxian and rarely mentioned her family matters.

That was why Mu Xianxian, after learning she had a family, went to support the Murong family.

If Mu Xianxian had known the truth, it wouldn’t have been support, but a slap in the face.

But Qin Yangjun couldn’t tell Mu Xianxian such things, because according to the normal plot, he shouldn’t know about these matters.

He wasn’t even born at that time.

So he could only pretend to be ignorant while knowing the truth.

But it really wasn’t worth offending a protagonist for such a family.

If it really came down to it, he would just cut ties with the Murong family.
It wasn’t like he was the one breaking off the engagement anyway.

But…

Thinking of this, Qin Yangjun couldn’t help but glance at his sister.
He then noticed that Mu Xianxian had a stern expression on her face.

“What did I just say?”

“Uh…”

“So I’ve been talking to you for half a day, and you were just spacing out!”

Mu Xianxian raised her hand as if to strike, and Qin Yangjun flinched.

“I’m sorry, sister…
My mistake… my mistake.”

Of course, Mu Xianxian didn’t actually hit him.
She was finding it harder and harder to discipline this little brother of hers.
She gave Qin Yangjun a resentful look, then glanced at the tombstone behind her.

“In front of your Sister Murong today, I won’t discipline you.
Besides, you did a really great job this time.
You’ve solved a long-standing worry for your sister and also avenged your Sister Murong.
Therefore, I can promise you one thing.”

“Promise me one thing?!”

Qin Yangjun’s eyes suddenly lit up.
He immediately had an idea, his gaze sweeping up and down Mu Xianxian’s body as if searching for something.

However, Qin Yangjun’s aggressive gaze was misinterpreted by Mu Xianxian, and her cheeks flushed red.

‘This kid doesn’t have designs on his own sister, does he?’

But since she had made a promise, she wouldn’t go back on her word.

“Of course.”

She thought to herself that if this kid made an outrageous request, she would just beat him up.

‘Doesn’t he know what it means to take things step by step?’

Qin Yangjun subconsciously rubbed his hands together and revealed a smile.

“Then I won’t be polite.”

This made Mu Xianxian’s heart tremble even more.

‘He isn’t really thinking about something improper, is he?!’

“Sister, that ‘Dream Entry Sword Manual,’ could you lend it to your little brother to observe?”

Qin Yangjun’s primary goal now was to increase his strength, so he really, really wanted the Dream Entry Sword Manual.

However, upon hearing these words, Mu Xianxian’s expression first froze slightly, and then she looked at Qin Yangjun with a complicated expression.

“Do you really want that sword manual?”

“Sister, you said it yourself, you’d grant me one request.
You’re the master of a sect, you wouldn’t go back on your word, would you?”

“Sister can grant you many requests, but this sword manual…”

Mu Xianxian’s face was filled with hesitation.

‘What the… even this is a no-go?’

Seeing the cooked duck about to fly away, Qin Yangjun grew anxious.
He grabbed Mu Xianxian’s hand and said with a sincere expression:

“Sister, I know you’re doing this for my own good.
This sword manual is of high quality, and you’re afraid I’ll suffer from cultivation deviation if I practice it.
But sister, I promise you, I will not be rash.
I will study it carefully before cultivating it slowly.”

Looking at Qin Yangjun’s eyes, which seemed to be sparkling, Mu Xianxian really couldn’t bear to disappoint him.

She then sighed.

“Fine, fine.
If you want it, I’ll give it to you.
But sister does not wish for you to cultivate it.
This…
Ah, forget it.
See for yourself.”

With that, Mu Xianxian flicked her sleeve, and a jade slip appeared on the stone table.

Then, Mu Xianxian left without looking back.

Having finally obtained the thing he had been longing for, Qin Yangjun couldn’t even help but laugh out loud.
Without another word, he put away the jade slip and dashed back to his own residence.

“Young Master, what happy occasion has made you so cheerful?”

“The greatest of good news, cough cough…
Ah Ling, your Young Master is going into seclusion now.
Don’t call me unless it’s important.”

Qin Yangjun wanted to thoroughly study the Dream Entry Sword Manual as quickly as possible, so that he would have another trump card.

But Ah Ling was slightly taken aback.

“Ah?
Seclusion again?
But Young Master, you’ve been in seclusion every day, you should take a rest.”

Just as Ah Ling finished speaking, Qin Yangjun had already darted into his room.

Leaving Ah Ling with only a dashing view of his back.

As soon as he entered the room, Qin Yangjun eagerly opened the jade slip.

This sword manual is the product of a hundred years of secluded cultivation, after I comprehended a trace of enlightenment.
Future female cultivators, to cultivate this manual, you must discard all distracting thoughts and maintain a pure state of mind.
Otherwise, you will suffer from cultivation deviation and be eternally damned.

Several large, golden characters entered his eyes, and Qin Yangjun couldn’t help but be stunned.

‘Female cultivators?’

He thought about it carefully.
The Glazed Sword Immortal was indeed a woman.
Could it be that a female cultivator’s sword techniques were very feminine and gentle?

‘Whatever, as long as it’s strong.’

So Qin Yangjun turned the page again.
This time, Qin Yangjun’s expression froze.

Future male cultivators who wish to cultivate this must castrate themselves to remove wicked thoughts.
Otherwise, even with an untainted sword heart, they will still suffer from cultivation deviation.

Damn it!

Isn’t this the Bixie Sword Manual????
