Naked Sword Art-Chapter 261 - Supreme Elder Song

[ 5th Divisional Classroom ]

When Lai Yun arrived, her friends in the class immediately noticed the new guild nameplate around her waist, but the thing that shocked them was the guild name that was on it.

'Nameless'

...

"No way. How could you join his guild?"

"Why did you do it? I've never even heard of the Nameless guild before."

"What about the White Jade guild? Weren't you trying to get into that?"

....

Lai Yun's friends bombarded her with questions, without even giving her time to reply to any of them. Although she expected them to react this way, she was still taken aback by it.

"Hey, leave her alone. She probably has a good reason for joining his guild," someone suddenly said as she approached Lai Yun from behind.

Lai Yun smiled when she heard her voice.

"ShanShan," Lai Yun said when she turned around.

Luo ShanShan was Lai Yun's closest friend. Although they weren't from the same family sect, their family sects were both subsidiary to the Gao.

"So, did you find out if the rumors were true?" Luo Shanshan asked.

"What rumors?"

"You haven't heard? Everyone's been talking about it. Apparently Long Wang had won something that used to belong to a Supreme Elder."

Listening to the other girls in the classroom, she eventually realized that most of them were talking about Long Wang.

'Could this be what he was so busy with yesterday? I wonder what he won," Lai Yun thought.

Suddenly, many of the girls started to turn their heads and get up from their seats when someone walked in.

"Ah, your guild mate is here," Luo Shanshan said.

"My guild mate?" Lai Yun said as she turned around.

She sounded confused because she didn't think Xiao Fang would be able to make it to class on time. Earlier, she had been waiting outside of the guild house because she wanted to walk to class with him, but he never came out of the guild house, making her think that he was already here. Since she didn't see him in class when she arrived, she assumed he was going to be late.

To Lai Yun's surprise, the person walking in was in fact Xiao Fang, and standing next to him was Elder Su Lingxi. Xiao Fang and Su Lingxi were talking as if they were close friends, so they didn't even notice the girls quickly approaching them till it was too late.

...

"Long Wang, did you really win the hairpin?"

"Big Brother is so cool."

"Big Brother, can I see it?"

...

Xiao Fang knew what they were talking about, but he was just a bit surprised that the news would spread so quickly.

'It seems news gets around quickly in this sect. If everyone starts approaching me like this, then it will make no difference whether I have my blindfold on or not,' he thought as he smiled wearily.

"Girls, settle down and return back to your seat. Whatever it is, it can wait till after class," Su Lingxi said.

Although they were reluctant to leave him alone, they eventually did as Su Lingxi said and returned back to their seats.

'Hairpin? What hairpin,' Su Lingxi thought as she looked at him curiously.

After finding where Bai Fan and Zhao Pan were seated, Xiao Fang took a seat between them.

...

Class proceeded the same way as yesterday, and again Xiao Fang practiced the [ 100 Step Clone Maneuver ] and [ Clone Vessel ] techniques at the same time by sending his clone to do the obstacle course. However, no matter how much he tried, he was unable to split his consciousness like Su Lingxi could.

'I wonder if this is something I could learn faster by cultivating her Yin Qi. It wouldn't hurt to try,' he thought.

At the moment, Su Lingxi was busy helping a few students perfect their form, so he decided to wait till after class to approach her. What he didn't realize was that she was thinking about approaching him after class too.

When class was finally over, Zhao Pan left first for her Swordsmen Club, while Bai Fan waited for Xiao Fang to walk with him to the Inscription Club.

However, before she could get to him, several of their classmates approached him to ask about his Phoenix Class Hairpin. Xiao Fang was reluctant to show them, but was going to do so anyway so that they would stop annoying him about it. However, before he could show them, Su Lingxi suddenly approached him saying,

"Long Wang, could I speak to you in my office?"

He assumed she was just trying to help him shoo all the girls away, but he eventually realized that she had ulterior motives behind it.

"Sure," he replied before walking in her direction.

However, as soon as he did, the other girls followed along.

"Class is over, so the rest of you can go home," Su Lingxi told them.

They were reluctant to leave Xiao Fang alone, but still did as she said. Although Bai Fan wasn't in the crowd of girls following him, Xiao Fang could still sense her standing by the door waiting for him, so he approached her first.

"Bai Fan, you go on ahead. I don't want these girls following me to the Inscription Club so I'll meet you there after I lose them," he whispered.

She understood how it must've felt to be treated that way, especially since she was treated the same way in the Outer Court. Bai Fan nodded to him in understanding then left first.

After she was gone, Su Lingxi finally locked the door before taking him to her office, then locked that door too just in case.

"Elder Su, thank you for helping me back there. I am in your debt. Now, was there something you wanted to speak to me about?" He asked as if he didn't know.

"Ah, well, I... I just thought ma... maybe we could..." she fumbled her words as she tried to find the right things to say.

She was so confident in herself when she brought him into her office, but as soon as they were alone together, she could feel herself becoming more shy around him.

Xiao Fang was a bit amused to see her like this, but he knew from experience that it wasn't easy to do this sort of thing.

"Ah... the other girls were saying something about a hairpin. I was just a bit curious about that," she finally said.

Xiao Fang skeptically raised an eyebrow, but took out his Phoenix Jade Hairpin to show her anyways.

The moment she saw it, her eyes widened in disbelief.

"This... this the Phoenix Jade Hairpin! But why do you have it?"

"I won it as a prize. Do you know anything about it?" He asked.

"Of course, it used to belong to Supreme Elder Song Qian. I just never thought she'd ever give it away."

"What's so special about this thing anyways?"

"I don't know much, but from what I've been told, it can give its wielder an abundant amount of Qi. However, if you use it before your cultivation reaches a certain realm you could incur a backlash from it."

The way she talked about it reminded him about his Curse. It was the only thing he knew that could give him extra Qi, and it also gave him a backlash whenever he used it.

As the [ Death Reaper ] scroll stated, once the curse has taken a host, it would eventually devour the cultivator's body if they could not reach the Heavenly realm before a certain time. Once he reached the Heavenly realm, he would be able to use the full extent of its power without incurring any backlash.

Xiao Fang assumed the same was true with the Phoenix Jade Hairpin, but the only difference was that the mysterious entity took a host inside of the Phoenix Jade Hairpin instead of a cultivator.

"I see. You've given me some valuable information, Su Lingxi. For that, I'll show you something I don't show many people," Xiao Fang said.

Su Lingxi looked at him curiously as he began to unwrap his blindfold. Finally, when his blindfold was off, he opened his eyes, then Su Lingxi gasped.

Although she always speculated that he could see through his blindfold, she never thought that his eyes would be such a mesmerizing color.

She didn't immediately realize it, but looking into his eyes made her heart race, her pupils dilate, and her mouth and pussy salivate. She suddenly forgot all about his hairpin as there were now only lewd thoughts going through her mind.

"It's been awhile, hasn't it, Big Sis," he said in a relaxing tone.

"Long Wang~"
