Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From the Trash Bin

Chapter 157 - System vs. System (VII)

The Jingxu Sword Meeting is a once-in-thirty-years event in the Dao of the Sword.

On a normal day, there is no shortage of sword fights, but the name of the Jingxu Sword Society, which has been passed down for a thousand years, is still very well known.

There are many sword lovers in the world, and many who love fame, and the Jingxu Sword Meet is a world event. Who would not want to see the sword in the stone?

Thirty years is enough time for a practitioner to learn and practise a great sword technique, and for a new crop of talent to grow up, so it is not surprising that everyone is looking forward to it.

Chi Xiaochi, dressed in her new Jing Xufeng disciple’s uniform, appeared with Yan Jinhua at the sword meeting.

Duan Shujue has been sheltered from the world for many years and has been nourished by the spiritual springs.

In his previous life, Duan Shujue had seen few living creatures other than Yan Jinhua and Ye Jiming in his long life, so when he first saw this sea of people, he would have cringed and made people laugh.

Chi Xiaochi is afraid of ghosts, southern cockroaches, geese and, of all creatures, the one he is least afraid of is people.

He was neither curious nor evasive, but simply followed Yan Jinhua’s back, which made Yan Jinhua feel uninterested.

He deliberately asked, “Are you afraid?”

Chi Xiaochi’s character would have said, “Fear your mother’s legs.

But he is Duan Shujue, and Duan Shujue does not swear.

So he said softly, “We must not disgrace Brother Banquet.”

Yan Jinhua secretly laughs, really an uninteresting nerd.

As he spoke, the dragonet who had satirized Yan Jinhua in the original episode shone brightly: “Brother Yan, the sword meeting has not yet begun, and you have chosen a disciple?”

Before Yan Jinhua could say anything, Chi Xiaochi took the initiative to salute, “Greetings, Uncle.”

He was the fourth apprentice of Chi Yunzi, Su Yun, who was young and hard-working. After joining Jing Xufeng Chi Yunzi, he was disgusted by Yan Jinhua’s unmotivated behaviour despite his high position as the second master.

As soon as Duan Shujue opened his mouth, Su Yun glanced at him and frowned lightly, but did not say anything hurtful and sour like he did in his previous life.

Duan Shujue, with his unassuming and dignified bearing, is a very different person from the lazy Yan Jinhua.

He poked his head in the air and couldn’t find anything wrong with it, so why should Su Yun find fault with him, he let out a “hmm” and looked at it a couple of more times, but he had a vague feeling of regret that the pearl had been cast away.

He asked, “You are?”

Chi Xiaochi replied, “I am Duan Shujue.”

A few days ago, he asked Yan Jinhua to give him his name.

And, not surprisingly, Yan Jinhua let him call Duan Shujue.

Su Yun hmmed again, said nothing more, and turned away.

As he left, he thought that this man would be suitable to be taught by his youngest uncle, if he had not actually worshipped him.

The two of them have the same appearance and temperament, and it’s a waste for the uneducated Yan Jinhua to pick them up.

…… This proves that there are not that many “brainless villains” in the world who offer to give up their heads for no good reason.

People are probably just normal people in their lives who simply don’t see eye to eye with you.

Yan Jinhua, however, thinks otherwise.

Facing Su Yun’s back, he laughed darkly and thought, “When the result of this sword meeting comes out, see if I don’t swell your face.

In the past few years, he had not seriously cultivated, because he knew that the original owner Yan Jinhua’s talent was limited and cultivation was useless, even with the various props redeemed by the system, cultivation had to suffer.

But he had patience, as long as he waited until the Jingxu Sword Meeting, he would be able to turn his life around and gain the opportunity of the Heavenly Dao.

So what if they were despised earlier, the more crap they are, the better, and the more crap they are, the more they will smack these people in the face in the end.

With this expectation, Yan Jinhua was hopeful that the Jingxu Sword Meet would be a turning point in his life.

He carried in his arms a precious pearl of the fixed sea, a chance that should also have belonged to Duan Shujue.

In the original book, the pearl was found by Duan Shujue in a broken and decaying sea mussel when he was wandering in the sea after losing his father and mother, freezing and starving.

This bead is capable of shifting shape and sending people anywhere.

When Yan Jinhua reads the book, he is excited to see this treasure appear and speculates on how Duan Shujue will use the beads to make his mark, stealing a huge treasure and killing someone, or stealing a soft jade and entering a woman’s bedroom at night.

He was saved by the old Taoist, who had been travelling with him for many years, and before he left, Duan Shujue said, “I have nothing to offer in return, so I am giving him a pearl in reply, and I hope that his benefactor will accept it.

Yan Jinhua, who was looking forward to the protagonist’s antics, almost spurted out a mouthful of blood and immediately wrote a number of bad reviews.

Is this protagonist out of his mind?

It’s so easy to get a good treasure, why give it to a bad old man?

Isn’t this a waste of a good thing?

There are many readers who think the same way as him, and they all spray the author with bubbles in his head and abandon Wen. If he had nothing, he would have given it to his benefactor first. After all, for Duan Shujue, he might never see his benefactor again after parting with him.

If the author did not explain, he did, and once again he received a flood of Italian guns.

What the hell? This old man won’t be coming out in the future?

He’s not actually backstage for the main character? Then what’s he doing out here? To deliver experience packs to the protagonist? He’s the elder NPC who gives out quests to the brave in the newbie village!

What dog? Bad review!

At that time, Yan Jinhua was one of the main forces in the siege of the author’s army and was so impressed by this episode that soon after his arrival in this world he went to the sea where Duan Shujue had fled, and without much effort he found the mussel, took the pearl and kept it for himself.

All he had to do now was not to let Duan Shujue get to Shi Zhongjian before he did.

He had already made up his mind to follow Duan Shujue as soon as the battle began.

Duan Shujue’s sword skills and cultivation should not be bad, so he can always resist for a while.

But no matter how cautious he is, he will not defend himself.

All he had to do was to knock him out, drag him to an unoccupied place, use the Sea-Defining Pearl to transfer the two of them directly to the vicinity of the Sword in the Stone, cut the blood and take the sword, and everything would be ready.

When Chi Yunzi announced the start of the sword fight, Yan Jinhua immediately looked at Duan Shujue and before he could say anything, Duan Shujue seemed to understand his intentions and reached his right hand behind his back and drew his sword.

The sword is sheathed and the broken silver meanders.

But he was not as eager to prove his strength so that he could stand up for Yan Jinhua as he had been in his last life, instead he threw his sword in the air and stepped up on one foot, “Brother Yan, go.”

Yan Jinhua’s face changed slightly.

When did Duan Shujue learn to wield a sword?

Seeing him dumbfounded, the young man standing high above him lowered his eyes and looked at him with unironic surprise, a simple look that, in turn, pricked his body with fever: “Brother Yan, don’t you know how to imperial sword?”

Yan Jinhua : “……”

After years of neglect, he couldn’t remember how to use the sword, and when he went out, he always rubbed the swords of those men and women, taking the opportunity to get closer.

Now, Yan Jinhua could have cheekily rubbed up against Duan Shujue, but his feelings for him were different from those of the others.

From God’s point of view, Yan Jinhua hates this gifted and hard-working saintly protagonist, but at the same time has an overwhelming sense of superiority over him.

It’s just a paperweight.

It was just a man who had been given insight into his destiny.

What can I do if I work harder and have more talent? In the end, everything is still mine.

Does he now have to rely on a hermit crab that was otherwise dependent only on him?

There were many other disciples around, so Yan Jinhua could not use the treasure pearls and could not face up to them, so he could only secretly say to the system, “Help me.”

The system calmly said, “Remind the host that the system will not just offer help and will need to deduct a certain amount of progress points to make up for our loss.”

Yan Jinhua knows that this system is a sugar cock, not only does it not pluck a single hair, it also sticks down to others’ hair and never helps him for nothing.

While he secretly gritted his teeth, he was not very distressed.

Sooner or later, these advances will come back to haunt Duan Shujue.

As he stepped on the sword, Duan Shujue seemed to feel something and, with his fingers forming a sword, he turned around and slashed downwards!

As a flash of arashi light passed by, the young man who had raised his sword to attack backwards was crushed by a terrifyingly strong cyclone and flew backwards, his front lapel torn halfway by the sword’s intent, and the remnants of the finger wind passing around his body, snapping the trees behind him, about the thickness of a man’s arms!

The young man hadn’t expected such a sudden change, and with his back pressed against the remaining half of the root, he looked as pale as dirt.

Duan Shujue did not intend to hurt him, only to suppress.

He withdrew his sword and asked Yan Jinhua, “Are you ready to go?”

As always, his words are few, but they are hard enough to make Yan Jinhua slightly lose his concentration.

Yan Jinhua didn’t want to admit that the spiritual power that Duan Shujue had just exploded out with had weakened his knees, nearly forcing him to kneel down straight away.

He began to wonder if he would really be able to knock him out as well as he had planned?

But he immediately reassured himself that it didn’t matter, if it really didn’t work, he would pay more and cash in a psychedelic-type prop from the system to put him to sleep, and even if he found out later that he had done it, it would be too late.

Duan Shujue is with him on the road, but Duan Shujue is oblivious to his motives all the way, breaking through formations and retreating from the enemy, an ordinary blue-bladed sword clearing a clear path for Yan Jinhua.

In other words, Yan Jinhua was kept firmly behind Duan Shujue throughout, unable to get to the side.

Yan Jinhua seemed to have countless opportunities, but every time he thought he had an opening, Duan Shujue turned his head and looked behind him.

Having been forced to interrupt several times, Yan Jinhua inevitably became agitated.

Could Duan Shujue really have killed all the way to the sword in the stone like that?

When did he become so good?

After all, Duan Shujue is the number one male protagonist in The Immortal Sailor. If he were to break the Seven Great Formations, wouldn’t his plan be ruined? Not only did he not succeed in taking away Duan Shujue’s qi, but he also dragged him into the game and did it for others?

The more Yan Jinhua thought about it, the more distracted he became, and with Duan Shujue watching over him, the more distracted he became, even less aware of the situation around him.

But are those seven formations easy to break into?

Duan Shujue had no time for anything else after only the second burst.

As a result, Yan Jinhua’s face was bloodied by several sword winds when Duan Shujue failed to take care of it.

In a moment of panic, he rolled off his sword and fell to the ground, and when he was momentarily dazed, he saw several nets of swords coming thick and fast at him!

If he couldn’t avoid it, he would have been strangled to pieces and perished on the spot!

Yan Jinhua’s mind went blank and he forgot to draw his sword from his waist, and instinctively closed his eyes to protect his face, but he did not feel the pain he thought he would feel.

Duan Shujue leapt from the sword, his body pivoting, and blocked the thousands of diffuse sword rays for him!

Duan Shujue pulled Yan Jinhua up by the hand as the gold splashed out: “Go!”

Yan Jinhua was dazed when Duan Shujue pulled him up from the ground with one arm, dragged him onto his back, and took off with his sword.

As a result, Yan Jinhua did not even notice that Duan Shujue had stepped on his belt and pulled it off his waist.

…… The pouch contains the pearl that defines the sea.

He had deliberately stored it in a pouch on the side of his waist, which he had intended to use to transfer it at any time.

Noticing the loss of the precious pearl, the system felt bad and shouted anxiously, “Host! Host!”

However, Yan Jinhua was so frightened and dazed by the fall that he couldn’t hear what it was saying.

The system weighed its options and decided that if it lost the pearl, it would really be more than worth the loss, so it had to grit its teeth and deduct a certain amount of raid value, intending to retrieve the pearl after it was datamined.

Who would have thought that before it could do so, a snow-white walking cloud crawler would have gently stepped on the brocade bag on the ground.

Damn!!!

The system looked up and saw that the man was staring at it with a slight tilt of his head!

The system went cold, thinking it had a data disorder.

It is logical that this man should be watching the backs of Duan Shujue and Yan Jinhua as they break through the formation, but the system somehow feels like it is being gazed at directly by him.

…… has seen the devil.

Even if the system was bold, it would not dare to make a move in front of the eyes of a master of the immortal cultivation world.

Even Duan Shujue had to gather all his energy to deal with the sword formation, but he could easily stand in it without a single weapon in his hands, which shows his terrifying strength.

Sometimes, people at the top of their strength in this world have eyes and abilities that are comparable to those of an advanced system, and it is only afraid that drawing the attention of the other side will backfire on Yan Jinhua, so it has to give up unhappily.

…… This is a big loss.

The wind picked up in the forest, and the man who had the lost pearl in his hands tucked the pouch into his arms and stepped on the fallen leaves of the forest, rustling away.

This man was a young swordsman in the shape of a young man, dressed in white, with a xiao at his waist and a blue umbrella painted with carp on his back. All the subtle sword winds that came towards him were resolved into fragmented data and disappeared into the wind as they were about to approach his body.

Su Yun, who had just accosted Duan Shujue and Yan Jinhua, came running up to the scene and was stunned to see the man in front of him.

The man in front of you ……

Is that him? Why did he suddenly return to the mountain?

Su Yun was surprised, “Little Uncle? How did you come here?”

The young man he called Little Uncle turned his head when he heard his voice, smiled slightly, and said succinctly, “Choose a disciple.”
