[Translator : I was running away during translation as usual. Thought I wanna read some other translated novels before coming back to translate this one. But I ended up reading a translator drama instead of their translation. Phew, that moment when everyone wanted to translate the same thing at the same time. Scary. I won’t tell you which t.i.tle was that, but coincidentally, the urge to translate that same novel crossed my mind before. Glad I didn’t, or else you guys won’t be reading this novel at all :v ]

The main road was quite crowded. Being pushed here and there by the crowd, JiYuan missed the Demon lord Daren1 even more and more –
That someone surnamed Ye has tall and slender stature, so it was extremely easy to shield him(JY) from the crowd. Unlike now, his feet has being stepped onto a few times, not sure whose poisonous feet was that.
Just as he was being pushed until feeling dizzy and confused, Yun Cheng who was beside him raised an eyebrow. Seemed to be unable to watch anymore, he stretched out his hand to pull JiYuan into his arms, shielding him. With a faint smile, he said, “Little brother is really strange, would rather carry your sword than getting on it to sword flight.”
If he could do that, would he still be here?! (JiYuan sarcastic retort)
In his heart, JiYuan secretly roasted Yun Cheng for a while, his mind and body were rejecting Yun Cheng’s embrace. Quietly pushing him away, his face was still calm without waves, and he pursed his lips, not speaking.
Yun Cheng also doesn’t mind, he sighed like he was a bit sad, “Little brother is really cold. The total of words you have spoken to me in these few days was not more than ten words. The longest sentence was when we first met and you asked me who I am.”
JiYuan indifferently uttered an ‘Oh’. Maybe because of his cold att.i.tude towards Yun Cheng (he is 80% sure), Yun Cheng no longer try to speak with him.
The Immortal Swords a.s.sembly was not far from the Jiang residence. On that many times enlarged practice field which boasted an extremely large area, a rough glance could see that accommodating ten thousands of people was not an impossible task.
JiYuan himself doesn’t have any cultivation, and he was used to the sight of Ye Junchi’s power. He has no interest in the fighting stances of these cultivators, so he glanced over once and stopped looking at them.
In order to regulate the level of the partic.i.p.ants, the casual cultivators won’t be going against the cultivators from prestigious families and clans right from the start. The venue was separated to two parts (lower levels fight first), and the rules of the compet.i.tion were also simpler and crude. A person would go up the stage, and as long as he/she could win over 10 challengers, he/she would be eligible to partic.i.p.ate in the main event.
There were a lot of cultivators who came to the venue, but most of them came to watch the fun. Yun Cheng brought JiYuan to squeeze through the throng of people to the casual cultivators’ part (the lower level stage area), and sat down at the most front line of seats. He(YC) supported his chin with his hand and looked at the casual cultivators fighting with flashy ‘ping ping pang pang’ (sound effect) on the stage. A flash of undetected contempt flitted across his eyes.
“Little brother, when will you be prepared to go up there?”
Pausing, JiYuan turned sideways to glance at Yun Cheng. There were ‘no ripples or waves’ (no emotion) in his light-colored eyes, just like a mirror. Yun Cheng was a bit stunned by his gaze, he felt like he could see his own shadow from that pair of translucent, light-colored eyes. For a moment, he doesn’t know how to start the conversation again.
Seeing that Yun Cheng stopped trying to stir things up, JiYuan turned back to the front. He carefully clutched to Gui Chi, silently praying for Ye Junchi to return to the inn as soon as possible, then come here quickly after reading the note he left on the table.
On the stages, casual cultivators were fighting intensely with various fighting methods. They probably used to fight in the wild so they started the battles with heavy hits. Very quickly, blood started to appear. JiYuan only gave the stages a few glances before shifting away his line of sight.
System gave a ‘tsk’ and asked, “That terrified?”
“… I am a gentleman, not used to killing scenes.”
System uttered a ‘qi’. [T/N : A softer version of Tsk
