Chapter 967: Chapter 51 Giant Spirit Snake Armor
After listening to the narration of two individuals, Lu Wen had roughly understood the sequence of events, and he tapped his granddaughter on the head, saying, "This isn’t Ah Dai’s fault; it’s all because you were too mischievous, daring to even kick your master-uncle. Xiao Lizi, go call your master over. He should take this girl back and discipline her properly." Li Yi’s master was Lu Wen’s only son.
Li Yi agreed and hurried off. The girl glared resentfully at Ah Dai, tears streaming down continually.
Lu Wen examined his granddaughter’s leg injury carefully; it was no longer serious, but it would need at least a hundred days of rest to fully recover. He thought to himself that perhaps this was heaven’s punishment for his mischievous granddaughter. Turning to Ah Dai, he said, "Ah Dai, don’t take it to heart. This matter is not your fault. By the way, I have something I need to discuss with the Sword Saint, but he has instructed us not to disturb him. Have you come for a particular reason?"
"It was the Sword Saint who sent me to call a few master-uncles," replied Ah Dai. "He said he has something to discuss with you all."
A shock went through Lu Wen’s heart; how could he dare delay the instructions of the Sword Saint? He quickly said, "Ah Dai, you stay here and look after this girl for me. When her father arrives, he can take her away for recuperation. I’ll go find your master-uncles." After speaking, he hurriedly got up and went toward the Sword Sect Court.
The seven or eight young people present looked at each other with curiosity; they were all very intrigued by this master-uncle of theirs, who was even younger than them. One of them, a bit bolder, approached and asked, "Master-uncle, what technique did you use just now? How did you make a wooden plank in just a few moves? It’s not difficult to split a tree into planks using fighting spirit, but to make the planks so smooth and identical with such ease requires special skill."
"You simply use Life Life fighting spirit to split the tree branches," explained Ah Dai, "and then chop off the unwanted parts."
The young man said enviously, "Master-uncle, does that mean your fighting spirit can be projected externally, and you have reached the fifth realm? But why is your fighting spirit yellow? It’s different from ours."
The girl’s leg, having been set properly and with the fighting spirit of Ah Dai and Lu Wen clearing her meridians, was no longer as painful. Overhearing the young man’s question, she snorted and said, "Who knows where he came from. Don’t talk to him, did you hear?"
The young man got a fright, sheepishly smiled at Ah Dai, and stepped aside.
At that moment, Xi Wen came running over in a hurry. Seeing him, everyone quickly greeted respectfully, "We pay respect to the Sect Leader Grandmaster Xi Wen."
Xi Wen nodded slightly and walked over to Ah Dai, asking, "Ah Dai, did the master summon us?"
Ah Dai nodded and said, "Yes, the Sword Saint asked me to fetch a few master-uncles. It seems he has something to tell you."
Xi Wen had been the first to be notified by Lu Wen, which was why he was able to arrive so quickly. He glanced at the girl sitting on the ground and smiled, "Yi Yi, I heard you’ve caused trouble again."
Yi Yi pouted and said with grievance, "Grandpa, I didn’t cause any trouble. Look, he’s broken my leg. You must avenge me!"
Xi Wen gently touched Yi Yi’s injury and smiled, "Your grandfather has already set it right for you. Just rest well, and it will be fine. It’s rare for you not to bully others; how could Ah Dai have bullied you on his own. Ah Dai, I heard you are now learning Life Life Transformation from the master? How is it going?" Xi Wen, as the Sect Leader and the Sword Saint’s chief disciple, was the only person in the Sword Sect aside from Ah Dai to have been taught the Life Life Transformation technique. However, this was a technique the Sword Saint had only recently passed on to him when delivering the Giant Spirit Snake Skin, and he hadn’t had a chance to practice it yet.
Ah Dai nodded and said, "I can barely apply it now."
Xi Wen patted Yi Yi on the head and suggested, "Though the fault is yours, since your leg is broken, Grandpa will have Ah Dai make amends by giving you something, how does that sound?"
Finally, someone was taking her side, and Yi Yi’s face lit up with joy as she hurriedly replied, "Yes! Thank you, Grandpa, you are the best."
Xi Wen chuckled and said, "Your grandpa would be sad to hear you say that."
Yi Yi stuck out her tongue and said, "He won’t know if you don’t tell him. Now, Grandpa, what will you have him give me?"
Looking at Ah Dai, Xi Wen said, "We tried every method on those Snake Skins the master brought the other day, but none were successful in dividing them. Only the Life Life power, the master said, could do it. When you have time, divide those Snake Skins. The master said the Giant Spirit Snake was killed by you, so the Snake Skin is yours by right. First, divide the Snake Skin for your master-brothers, and then make a Close-fitted Light Armor for Yi Yi as compensation, alright?" Although the Sword Saint had already divided the Snake Skin into several dozen pieces, making light armor would still require tailoring it to fit the body sizes, and the reason Lu Wen wanted to see the Sword Saint was about the issue with the Snake Skin being difficult to cut.
Ah Dai quickly nodded and responded, "Master-uncle, the Sword Saint said I should not go back yet, and wait until you have seen him before I can return to the cave. In the meantime, I’ll divide the Snake Skin. I just don’t know if my power will be sufficient."
"Yi Yi, my darling daughter, what’s happened to you? Let me see who was so bold as to break my daughter’s leg." A deep voice sounded. A burly man with a Tian Gang Sword on his back, his face covered with a heavy beard and a towering figure, walked briskly toward them, radiating a daunting presence.
