Chapter 1390: Chapter 1387: Dancing with a Sword for Fun?

Zhu Family, being the largest family in Zhu’s Fairy City, a city named after their family, one could imagine the immense power Zhu Family possessed within Zhu’s Fairy City!

Upon arriving at the Zhu Family residence, the Patriarch Zhu Chang had already prepared a banquet. After all disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect had taken their seats, the sounds of music and dancing quickly filled the banquet!

Patriarch Zhu Chang held his cup and looked for Red-robed and Purple Robe Disciples to toast, expressing his deep respect.

Seeing Patriarch Zhu Chang being so courteous, Bao Jun and Zhao Qing couldn’t help but smile!

At the end of the seats, Lin Bai and Jiang Jing sat together, sipping their drinks slowly.

Jiang Jing shared some stories of his life with Lin Bai, who listened attentively.

Suddenly, Jiang Jing changed the topic and said, "By the way, Junior Brother, you have been in seclusion for the past few days. I originally wanted to invite you to buy some life-saving items, but since you were in seclusion, I didn’t want to disturb you."

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "It wouldn’t have been of any use if I had gone. I just joined the Sect, and I don’t have any Contribution Points yet."

Jiang Jing laughed and said, "Contribution Points? Old Brother here has some."

While talking, Jiang Jing took out a bottle of Elixir Pills and a piece of talisman paper from his Storage Bag and handed them to Lin Bai!

"These Elixir Pills are called Three Element Pills, which are healing pills. There are ten in the bottle; you take them first."

"This talisman paper is a Guarding Spirit Talisman, which when crushed, can withstand a full-force strike from a five-level Yin Saint Realm."

"I have twenty Three Element Pills and two Guarding Spirit Talismans. Now, between the two of us, let’s divide them equally."

Jiang Jing said with a smile.

Lin Bai’s face showed surprise as he said, "Brother Jiang Jing, this isn’t right. These Three Element Pills and Guarding Spirit Talismans must be worth quite a lot; how can I accept them?"

Jiang Jing shook his head and said, "Hey, Junior Brother, don’t refuse. Surviving is most important. You must understand that only by staying alive can you explore better places – once your life is gone, everything ends."

"Understand? No matter where, always try to survive and then go explore nice places."

"Take them quickly, or I’ll get angry."

Jiang Jing continued with a hearty laugh.

Seeing Jian Jing’s firm words, Lin Bai could not refuse any longer and thanked him, "Then, thank you Brother Jiang Jing."

Having hustled around in recent days, Jiang Jing had managed to purchase twenty Three Element Pills and two Guarding Spirit Talismans, and now, he had given half of them to Lin Bai!

While Lin Bai couldn’t exactly tell their value in Contribution Points, the gesture deeply moved him!

After three rounds of drinks, all the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect were well-fed and satisfied.

At that moment, Zhu Lie stood up, looking toward Lin Bai’s direction, and said with a smile, "Dear Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, on normal days everyone is busy with tasks or cultivation. Today, we are fortunate to gather together. This banquet has good wine, but it lacks some excitement!"

"And coincidently, we have a Monstrous Genius among us today."

"Everyone, don’t you want to witness the strength of a Monstrous Genius?"

Zhu Lie said with a smile.

Upon hearing Zhu Lie’s words, all the warriors exclaimed.

"A Monstrous Genius? Is it Junior Sword Venerate Yejian Jun, Sister Ling Luo, or Brother Lin Anyang?"

Many warriors looked toward Zhu Lie.

Zhu Lie laughed and said, "It’s none of them. This Monstrous Genius is none other than Yejian Jun, Ling Luo, or Lin Anyang, but a new disciple of our Heaven-reaching Sword Sect."

"Dongfang Bai, Junior Brother."

Zhu Lie called out looking at Lin Bai.

Following Zhu Lie’s shout, all eyes in the banquet focused on Lin Bai.

Jiang Jing inwardly thought it wasn’t good; Zhu Lie was causing trouble.

Receiving the stares from everyone, Lin Bai gave a slight smile, neither confirming nor denying.

"Indeed, this year in Purple Gold City, two monstrous geniuses have emerged, one of whom, Dongfang Bai, seems to have joined the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

"Who would have thought that Dongfang Bai had just arrived at the sect and already started on missions?"

"A monstrous genius, I really want to see how strong his strength truly is."

Many warriors all looked toward Lin Bai, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Even Zhu Chang, the patriarch of the Zhu Family, watched Lin Bai with a curious expression.

Zhu Lie laughed and said, "Junior Brother Dongfang Bai, now that the wine has gone around three times, how about you come to the center and perform a sword dance to liven up the atmosphere?"

A sword dance to liven up the atmosphere?

Lin Bai heard these words and immediately felt displeased.

"Hahaha! A sword dance to liven up the atmosphere! Brother Zhu Lie’s words are truly amusing."

"A monstrous genius performing a sword dance for us—spreading that story would surely become a fine tale!"

"Exactly, exactly, Junior Brother Dongfang Bai, take out your Demonic Sword and perform a dance for us."

Many disciples of the Zhu Clan and others who were just there for the entertainment were all laughing and shouting this.

Zhu Lie’s face was full of mocking smiles.

As these warriors mocked, every genius has their own dignity and pride. Lin Bai was neither a woman of the Pleasure House nor one of the maids. If he were to perform a sword dance to liven up the atmosphere, his reputation would be utterly ruined today.

In other words, these disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect were not of such noble status, nor were they Lin Bai’s close friends and family. Why should Lin Bai perform a sword dance for them?

Lin Bai’s face darkened, and he spoke lightly, "Brother Zhu Lie, my sword is for killing, not for entertaining. I’m afraid that none of you have the guts for it. I worry that I may not be able to control the Demonic Sword and might hurt you."

Zhu Lie sneered, "Junior Brother Dongfang Bai, just demonstrate your sword skill. I am here, and if anyone gets hurt, I, Zhu Lie, will take all responsibility!"

"Is that so?"

Lin Bai gave a cold smile and prepared to stand up.

At this moment, Jiang Jing hurriedly held Lin Bai back, smiling and saying, "Brother Zhu Lie, today we are here to drink and enjoy ourselves. Why bring out weapons and spoil the elegance?

"Come, shall we just enjoy our drinks?"

Jiang Jing was holding onto Lin Bai, not letting him go on stage.

Jiang Jing could see that once Lin Bai went on stage, if he accidentally injured someone, Zhu Lie would seize the opportunity to make things difficult, and the consequences for Lin Bai would be unimaginable.

Zhu Lie was relentless and said, "No harm, a sword dance to liven up the atmosphere is a good thing."

Jiang Jing smiled and replied, "Since Brother Zhu Lie is so enthusiastic, wanting a sword dance to liven up the atmosphere, then I, Jiang, am willing to perform a sword dance!"

Zhu Lie’s eyes flashed coldly, "You? Hmph, Jiang Jing, look at your character and look at the occasion we are in. Do you think you are qualified to perform a sword dance on stage?"

"You despicable thing!"

Zhu Lie glared at Jiang Jing, rebuking him sharply.

Hearing Zhu Lie rebuke Jiang Jing, Jiang Jing’s face turned awkward, "Um ... Brother Zhu Lie is right, I was just talking nonsense because of the wine! But..."

Hearing Zhu Lie scolding Jiang Jing, a cold aura involuntarily flowed out from Lin Bai’s face.

Lin Bai stood up indignantly and said coldly, "Brother Zhu Lie wants to see me perform a sword dance? Very well, but I’m afraid that after the performance, we won’t know who might lose their life here!"

Buzz—

Lin Bai reached out and grasped the hilt, and the Demonic Sword appeared in his hand.

A mighty sword aura spread out.

Zhu Lie’s eyes shone as he watched the Demonic Sword in Lin Bai’s hand, a tinge of greed hidden deep within his gaze.
