Chapter 125.2

Thats enough for now! Lin Beifan said, taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

Is it ending so soon? the elder asked reluctantly.

Lin Beifan replied somewhat irritably, Ive been speaking for an entire hour, isnt that enough?

The elder looked outside at the sky and noticed that night had fallen. He sighed, I hadnt realized so much time had passed! Time truly flies, indifferent to day and night!

Do you still wish to take me as your disciple now? Lin Beifan asked.

The old man shook his head vigorously: No longer, I dare not! My knowledge is shallow, I have nothing to teach you!

Good that you know!

Lin Beifan waved his hand: Considering your good intentions, I will not hold the crime of trespassing into the imperial palace against you! Leave now, I am preparing to retire for the night!

I cannot leave just yet. I have an urgent request, and I hope you can fulfill it!

What is it, lets hear it? Lin Beifan said.

I wish to take you as my master and to learn the supreme swordsmanship. Please grant me this honor! The old man knelt on the ground and spoke loudly.

Lin Beifan exclaimed, F*ck!

He was completely dumbfounded!

Had this old man lost his mind? Did he actually want to take him as a master?

Please, he was none other than the Emperor himself. How could he possibly take someone as a disciple?

Besides, the elder before him could be his ancestor. What would it look like for him to accept him as a disciple?

Are you confused? Get up, you could be my grandfather! Lin Beifan exclaimed in shock.

The elder shook his head, his gaze unwaveringly firm: I am not confused! I have come to a realization. The reason I have made no progress over the years is firstly due to my limited talent and secondly, because it is so hard to find a true master! Without the guidance of a good mentor, there is no way to reach new heights in the art of swordsmanship!

Nowadays, its not easy to come across a master like you! Master, your understanding of the sword has reached an unfathomable level! Your words are like the principles of the great Dao, enlightening to your disciple, loosening the bounds of my realm!

Therefore, I do not wish to miss this opportunity, and I implore you, Master, to take me as your disciple!

After saying this, the elder bowed again, his attitude extremely devout.

Lin Beifan was in a difficult position: Youll be laughed at by others if you do this!

Let them laugh!

The elder said indifferently. I am already of old age, with one foot in the grave. Ive come to terms with everything; what use is a little reputation to me? Its better to use the remaining time to chase what I desire! Before I die, I wish to take one more step forward and to witness that supreme realm!

Ive realized that this wish can only be fulfilled with you, Master! So please, take me as your disciple, guide me through the mysteries of the sword path, and help me advance further!

But, I do not know martial arts, nor can I teach you anything

This sword weighs 3,200 jin and possesses a demonic nature that can easily influence ones mind. Ordinary people cannot even approach it! Fortunately, you are strong enough. Carrying it on your back for extended periods will greatly benefit your training! Lin Beifan said with a smile.

Yes, Master!

And so, the divine sword was entrusted to the elder for safekeeping.

Whenever someone else tried to seize the divine sword, there was no need for Lin Beifan to take action; the elder would handle it directly.

Dare to snatch my masters divine sword, courting death!

With just a few simple moves, he killed all those who came to steal the sword.

Everyone was extremely shocked.

Its the Sword Elder!

The Sword Elder has actually sided with Great Xia!

With the strength of a half-step Grandmaster and wielding the divine sword, the Sword Elder is invincible!

With the Sword Elder guarding the sword, forget about trying to snatch the divine sword from now on!

Lets get out of here!

With the deterrent presence of the Sword Elder, many people dared not attempt to steal the sword, and Great Xia became much more peaceful.

With a great master by his side, Lin Beifan remained very comfortable, going about his business as usual. However, Chai Yuxin seemed a bit uneasy and pulled Lin Beifan aside to ask in a low voice, How did you manage to coax him into coming?

There was no coaxing; it was my own personal charm that attracted him! Lin Beifan said proudly.

Cut it out, do I not know you well enough? No matter how you manage it, you shouldnt let an elder call you Master. Dont you think thats rude?

Lin Beifan felt wronged: He insisted on calling me that, how can you blame me?

Chai Yuxin became furious: You still dare to quibble?

Where am I quibbling? If you dont believe me, go ask him!

Chai Yuxin approached the elderly man, ready to ask him, but to her surprise, the old man bowed with his hands clasped: Madam, what are your orders?

Chai Yuxin:
