Heaven Slaying Blade

"Wha...what? You, you, you... you don't know martial arts?" Xu Fufu looked at Shen Xingxue with a 'you're-dragging-me' expression, her eyes full of disbelief: "People who come from sects, you're telling me that you don't know martial arts?"

"Who told you that everyone from a sect must know martial arts?" Shen Xingxue's delicate face flashed a hint of shyness and a little annoyance. Looking at Xu Fufu, she said seriously, "In a sect, do you have to be good at martial arts?"

"..." Xu Fufu had a speechless look on her face, mumbling: "You have no cultivation level at all?"

"Yes, I do!" Shen Xingxue said softly, "I've already broken through the Primordial Pass."

"I say...you're joking with me, aren't you?" Xu Fufu's mouth twitched as she looked at the pretty young girl in front of her, "A genius with a three-tier Primordial Pass, you're telling me you don't know martial arts?"

Chu Mo was also a bit speechless, looking at Shen Xingxue.

Shen Xingxue said, "Cultivation level doesn't necessarily equate to the ability to use martial arts. My cultivation is due to elixirs, but I don't like fighting and killing."

Then, as though feeling somewhat embarrassed, she added, "I'm good at refining medicines, I don't like training in martial arts."

Xu Fufu, whose cultivation level wasn't high, found it hard to comprehend Shen Xingxue's explanation. Chu Mo, on the other hand, understood clearly - this girl, who was of Great Xia's Imperial bloodline, might have grown up in a sect, but she had clearly focused all of her attention on alchemy.

By using elixirs, she managed to enhance her own body, strengthening her body and giving her a longer life expectancy than average people. She was almost never sick, but she hadn't practiced any martial arts at all. So, even though she had the Dragon Elephant power within her, she had no idea how to use it.

"Princess Xingxue, that matter is in the past, you don't need to worry too much. However, I would suggest that you learn some basic martial arts, even if you don't like it, you should still learn." Chu Mo looked at Shen Xingxue, "At least...for self-defense."

Shen Xingxue looked at Chu Mo and gently nodded, "My mother told me the same thing, but... I really don't like it, and I'm very slow, I always fail to learn."

Chu Mo smiled and said: "Take it slow, you definitely can learn it!"

"Yes." A blush tinged the girl's face as she agreed softly. Then she stared at Chu Mo with her bright, starry eyes and asked softly, "I heard you also know how to refine medicine?"

The conversation between them wasn't exactly loud, but because of Chu Mo's impressive performance tonight, even those lurking in the corners were continuing to watch them.

As Shen Xingxue asked Chu Mo that question, many people nearby turned to Chu Mo, their eyes fired with interest.

Chu Mo could feel those eyes on him even without looking. He felt a tingling in his scalp.

Xu Fufu glanced at the eavesdroppers and murmured, "With your powerful refining skills, capable of healing even Prince Xia Jing's illness, people seeking your help with medical problems in the future... will probably be quite many."

Chu Mo shook his head and gave a slight smile to Shen Xingxue, "Do you think I look like someone who can refine medicines?"

"Ah?" Shen Xingxue seemingly didn't expect Chu Mo to answer this way. She paused, looking perplexed at Chu Mo.

Even though she later found out that the person who tried to assault her was actually her cousin, Shen Xingxue, being innately kind, gradually stopped dwelling on that incident after being angry for a while. After all, Xia Jie had received his due punishment.

Prince Xia Jing is indeed her uncle, so she kept an eye on his matters. Chu Mo's act of helping heal Prince Xia Jing was no secret in Yanhuang City, she knew about it a long time ago. She always wanted to exchange refining experiences with Chu Mo.

"Wasn't it said that you were refining medicine for my Royal Uncle? And.... I've heard..." She paused, her eyes filled with shyness, unable to continue. The topic was somewhat embarrassing for a girl like her.

"I don't have that kind of skill." Chu Mo shook his head firmly in denial.

The people who were all ears in the surroundings all instantly wore expressions of disbelief.

Who are you trying to fool? After stirring up trouble in Prince's Mansion, you not only got off unscathed but were also treated as an honored guest by Prince Xia Jing.

The news about Prince Xia Jing purchasing all kinds of medicinal materials in Yanhuang City had already spread far and wide, and these folks certainly wouldn't believe Chu Mo's words.

"Oh..." Shen Xingxue obviously believed him; her impression of Chu Mo was extremely positive.

Since the day Chu Mo saved her, his somewhat thin but very tall figure had been etched deeply into her heart. As time went by, the image only grew clearer instead of fading.

Shen Xingxue was ecstatic a few days ago when she heard that Chu Mo was proficient in making elixirs, feeling that they shared common interests. But at this moment, seeing Chu Mo deny it on the spot, she couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Chu Mo smiled and said, "I don't have that ability. Those elixirs were made by my teacher!"

"Is that so!" Shen Xingxue's eyes lit up with joy. She looked at Chu Mo admiringly and said, "Your mentor must be incredibly powerful!"

"He is very powerful..." Chu Mo mumbled to himself, thinking: In my teacher's eyes, even the strongest person on the Four Symbols Continent is as insignificant as an ant. Of course, he is impressive.

"Can I visit your teacher sometime?" Shen Xingxue looked at Chu Mo with anticipation.

Xu Fufu instantly understood the look in her eyes and chuckled to himself: His Highness, this princess, surely isn't interested in visiting Brother Hei's mentor. It's clear she wants to spend more time with Brother Hei.

Chu Mo, however, didn't understand. Or maybe he did a little, but pretended not to: "My teacher is unpredictable, and appears and disappears randomly. Even I can't find him."

"Then... then can I... come and see you sometimes? I... I would like to learn martial arts." Shen Xingxue mustered the courage to look at Chu Mo.

Looking at the beautiful and elegant young lady in front of him, Chu Mo stuttered, "Your Highness wishes to learn martial arts, and I am sure there are countless people in the Imperial Palace and various sects clamoring to teach you. My martial arts skills... They're all about fighting and killing, they're quite bloody. I'm afraid they won't be suitable for you."

At this moment, even the noble aristocrats eavesdropping couldn't help swearing under their breaths: Is this boy really stupid or is he pretending to be? The princess's intentions are so obvious... yet he keeps refusing. Even we can't score such an opportunity!

The gazes of some young nobles upon Chu Mo were filled with envy, but none dared to express it. This young man was too terrifying, not someone they could afford to offend.

Shen Xingxue looked at Chu Mo pitifully, her eyes welling up like pools of water.

Xu Fufu couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, if you ever feel bored, feel free to come to Gluttonous Pavilion."

Shen Xingxue looked at Xu Fufu warily, "What do you want?"

"..." Xu Fufu was speechless. Now he knew why the Emperor and others had spoken ill of him in front of the princess. Whenever Shen Xingxue saw him, her caution and suspicion rose to an all-time high.

"I kindly gave you a suggestion... You ungrateful soul," Xu Fufu rolled his eyes, no longer in the mood to talk.

Shen Xingxue cautiously glanced at Xu Fufu, then turned to Chu Mo and said, "I have to go now... I'll come to thank you formally some other day, Young Master Chu."

As she said this, Shen Xingxue got up, bowed slightly to Chu Mo, and left through the side door of the banquet hall, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.
