Chapter 234.2
The Peerless Spear Immortal became excited, flung the door open with a bang, and stepped out.
Master, youve finally come out! The disciples were all very happy.
My disciples, Ive made you worry. Master is fine! the Peerless Spear Immortal said as he picked out a striking figure among his disciples and beckoned.
Yuxin, come in for a moment, your master has something to ask you!
Ah oh! Chai Yuxin responded, walking in with confusion.
Sit down. Lets sit down before we talk!
Thank you, Master!
After they were seated, the Spear Immortal carefully opened the scroll and asked eagerly, Yuxin, whose handwriting is on this letter?
Master, havent I told you? This is a birthday gift from His Majesty! Chai Yuxin replied, puzzled.
I know that! What I mean is, who wrote this letter?
His Majesty himself wrote it! Chai Yuxin immediately answered.
How could it be him? Dont deceive your Master! The Peerless Spear Immortal found it utterly unbelievable in his heart.
In his mind, the person capable of writing such a letter must undoubtedly be a Grandmaster-level senior, and moreover, a Grandmaster senior who has attained enlightenment through the way of the spear.
How could it possibly be Lin Beifan?
Lin Beifan was just a young man in his twenties.
He didnt know martial arts, so how could he possibly produce such a meaningful piece of calligraphy?
But Master, it really was written by him. I saw it with my own eyes!
Chai Yuxin explained, When I asked him for leave to come back and celebrate your birthday, he wrote this letter in front of me as a birthday gift for you! If Im lying, Id die a terrible death!
Are you really telling the truth? Is it truly his handwriting? The Peerless Spear Immortal was stunned.
He simply couldnt reconcile the image of a Grandmaster-level senior with the youthful figure of Lin Beifan.
Master, is there something wrong with this letter? Chai Yuxin asked cautiously, realizing that her Master had been acting abnormally ever since he received the letter.
Especially now, she was even more convinced of her suspicion.
Indeed, there is a big problem. Take a look! The Peerless Spear Immortal handed the letter over.
Chai Yuxin looked at it from left to right, top to bottom, but still couldnt see what the issue was.
Apart from the handwriting being good, there was nothing else that seemed noteworthy to her.
Master, it seems like theres no problem
Thats because you havent reached the necessary realm yet!
The Peerless Spear Immortal shook his head and smiled, Once you reach that level and can see the problem within, it means youre not far from becoming a Grandmaster yourself!
He took back the letter, folded it neatly, and tucked it into his chest.
After thinking for a moment, he asked again, Did he really write this?
Master, he really did write it. How could I dare to deceive you? Chai Yuxin complained.
Why did her Master keep asking the same question over and over?
Could it be that he was becoming long-winded because of his age?
The Peerless Spear Immortal thought for a moment and then continued to ask, Did he say anything else besides giving you this letter?
He said that this letter is worth a million in gold and that you would treasure it upon seeing it! Chai Yuxin observed how much her Master valued the letter. Wasnt it just as Lin Beifan had said?
It was strange, what kind of magic did this letter possess that made her Master so fascinated?
At that moment, the Peerless Spear Immortals eyes lit up.
The fact that the other party had said this meant that he knew the value of the letter.
And if he could write this letter, it meant that the other party
Hmm That Emperor, is it true he really doesnt know martial arts?
He doesnt! Chai Yuxin shook her head.
Think again, could it be that hes been practicing martial arts in secret without you knowing? the Peerless Spear Immortal pressed.
Impossible!
Chai Yuxin shook her head again: He indulges in wine and women every day, living a life of luxury and laziness, even more foolish than an ordinary foolish emperor. He simply doesnt have the time to practice martial arts!
Does he know how to use a spear? the Peerless Spear Immortal asked unwillingly.
Hes too lazy to even touch a sword or knife, let alone a spear!
The Peerless Spear Immortal opened his mouth but found he had nothing more to ask.
Its because she said the other party really didnt have any flaws from head to toe, looking every bit like an Emperor who had never practiced any martial arts except for the personally written letter.
Being able to write a letter with artistic conception doesnt mean that the other person is a martial arts expert.
There are also people who achieve mastery through painting and even cooking.
But still, its just that such people are really, really rare.
So, is Lin Beifan really just an ordinary person?
Does that mean his wish is in vain?
Master, is there anything else you want to ask? Chai Yuxin inquired.
The Peerless Spear Immortal waved his hand disinterestedly: Nothing else, you may leave!
Yes, Master! Chai Yuxin left, feeling unfathomably mysterious inside.
Why was the Master so concerned about His Majesty all of a sudden?
There was clearly no connection between the two, how strange!
After some thought, the Peerless Spear Immortal still couldnt let it go and had someone gather information about Great Xia and Lin Beifan, which he then scrutinized carefully.
Among this information, he found a crucial point.
Sword Elder joined Great Xia less than two years ago and broke through to become a Grandmaster?
He saw his own reflection in Sword Elder.
Sword Elder was over a hundred years old, aged and with limited talent, basically having no chance of achieving enlightenment!
Just like him now, in his nineties with hidden injuries, one could say he was aged and frail.
As for talent, it was limited too, otherwise, he wouldnt have been stuck for over thirty years.
He was almost in despair, let alone Sword Elder?
But after joining Great Xia, he actually broke through to Grandmaster?
That was extraordinary!
He immediately called Chai Yuxin and asked eagerly: It is said that Sword Elder broke through to Grandmaster after joining Great Xia. How did he do it? Can you tell me?
Chai Yuxin shook his head: Master, I dont know about that. It seems he just practiced and somehow made the breakthrough!
Why did he join Great Xia? the Peerless Spear Immortal asked again.
Oh, he took His Majesty as his master, so naturally, he joined Great Xia!
he took Lin Beifan as his master? The Peerless Spear Immortals eyes lit up, finally finding the key point.
He immediately followed up with a question: Why did he take Lin Beifan as his master?
Chai Yuxin smiled and said: Sword Elder originally came to take His Majesty as his disciple, but after a discussion about the Dao, Sword Elder found that His Majesty understood the sword even better, so he sincerely and respectfully took him as his master and followed him to learn the way of the sword!
Sword Elder is truly admirable! In pursuit of the way of the sword, he was willing to humble himself and ask a young kid for guidance! Perhaps its precisely this heart of seeking the Dao that allowed him to go further!
Its not just that! The Peerless Spear Immortals eyes shone even brighter.
There are so many people in the world with a heart seeking the Dao.
Like him, tirelessly pursuing the way of the spear for decades.
But how many have achieved enlightenment?
That final step is like a chasm, stopping countless people!
Therefore, just having a heart seeking the Dao is not enough; one must also have the right opportunity.
Lin Beifan was Sword Elders opportunity!
Could it be that my opportunity is also with him?
