Shaohua is Junqing

Chapter 218 Extra 2

Wei Zongyao took out a cloth bag from his arms and opened it carefully. Inside was an old book.

"This is our sect's secret treasure, compiled by successive sect leaders. It contains our Wuyi sect's unique skills, including medical skills, martial arts, and the art of Qimen Dunjia. Today, Master will pass this secret treasure on to you. If you can learn the skills in the book in the future, that would be great. If your ability is limited and you can't get a glimpse of it, Master will not force you, let alone resent you. You just need to keep this secret treasure properly and not let bad people take it away. Leave it for someone with good character to pass it on in the future, so that our Wuyi sect's legacy can be passed on."

"Master loves me so much that he entrusted me with the sect's secret treasure. However, I am a person of limited talent and low martial arts skills. I am afraid that I cannot shoulder this responsibility. If the secret treasure is lost, I will become a sinner for all eternity. My reputation may be small, but if the secret treasure is used by bad people to cause chaos, wouldn't it cause chaos in the world?"

"There are many people who covet our sect's secret treasures. I understand your concerns and worries, but you are the most suitable candidate."

"Why?"

"I have been traveling around the world for many years and have made countless friends, but I have also made many enemies. That is why I have never accepted any disciples for many years. Meeting you was a surprise."

"This further proves that my master and I have a deep bond."

Wei Zongyao smiled and nodded.

"Except for a few very close friends, few people in the martial arts world know that you are my disciple. In addition, you are now the Princess of Chen, and your status is noble. Not only ordinary people dare not provoke you, but even those with high power or martial arts skills will have to think twice before they want to take advantage of you. The most important point is that you have a pure heart and good character, so it is safest and most secure to leave the secret treasure with you."

"So that's how it is. I understand now. I will do my best to protect the secret treasure."

"It is important to protect the secret treasure, but you must also protect yourself. Your master does not want you to get hurt."

"Master, don't worry. With His Highness here, nothing will happen."

Wei Zongyao nodded with satisfaction.

Seven days ago, a dilapidated temple in the suburbs of Beijing.

"Brother, I just want to take back our sect's secret treasure, why are you so nervous?"

"You have been expelled from the sect a long time ago. The sect's secret treasures belong to the virtuous. How can you, a traitor to the sect and a person who betrays the master and destroys his ancestors, just take it away as you say?"

"Master is too partial. You and I are both his disciples, but he is only willing to teach you. No matter how much I beg him, he always finds all kinds of excuses to evade me and refuses to teach me."

"It's not that the master is unwilling to teach you, but I feel that your character is not yet settled, and your skills are far from reaching the level where you can practice secret treasures."

"What nonsense. What about my undetermined character and my lack of skills? Those are just excuses. He just looked down on me and didn't want to pass on the best martial arts of his sect to me. That would have been fine, but he actually expelled me from the sect, making me a traitor despised by everyone and getting beaten and scolded by countless people. I will never forget that feeling."

"You colluded with outsiders to steal the secret treasure, and even teamed up with outsiders to injure Master. Master only expelled you from the sect, which was already a great favor."

"Stop talking nonsense and hand over the secret treasure."

"Don't think about it."

"Then don't blame me for being rude."

Lu Zongwu drew out his long sword, flew up, and rushed towards Wei Zongyao. Wei Zongyao quickly retreated, dodged sideways, and then turned around to get behind Lu Zongwu. Lu Zongwu's sword kept slashing in the air, turning around and slashing horizontally. Wei Zongyao leaned forward to avoid it, and turned several times in a row to avoid Lu Zongwu's series of attacks.

Wei Zongyao drew out his long sword to block Lu Zongwu's sword, and then used a set of smooth sword skills, forcing Lu Zongwu to retreat again and again, and gradually he could not hold on. The two fought for more than ten moves, and Wei Zongyao slashed Lu Zongwu's chest with a sword, instantly cutting a long bloody wound, and then hit him with his left hand. Lu Zongwu flew out in an instant, fell heavily to the ground, and spurted out a mouthful of blood. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.

"Since we were once from the same school, I will spare your life today. If you dare to do evil again in the future, I will clean up the mess for my master." Wei Zongyao flicked his sleeves and floated away.

Lu Zongwu stood up with difficulty and looked at Wei Zongyao's receding back. He felt indignant but helpless.
