Truth Exposed, Empresses Beg for Forgiveness-Chapter 95: All Are Ruthless Pursuers of Power—How Could a True Gentleman Like You Exist!

Chapter 95: Chapter 95: All Are Ruthless Pursuers of Power—How Could a True Gentleman Like You Exist!

Jian Kuanglan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent, as if he completely had the young Luo Xuan under control.

He also wasn’t afraid of the young Luo Xuan secretly building up Sword Momentum.

The young Luo Xuan was merely a Sword Cultivator at the Unity Realm, whereas he was at the True Immortal Realm.

In the face of an absolute gap in Realm, all techniques are futile!

In Jian Kuanglan’s heart, he indeed felt very curious.

When the young Luo Xuan rushed in and found something amiss, he could understand it.

After all, he had previously spent considerable effort to lock the young Luo Xuan’s Origin Sword Intent, preventing it from sending any alert.

Upon rushing in and finding this Sword Intent sealed, it was natural for Luo Xuan to instinctively feel something was wrong.

But what Jian Kuanglan couldn’t understand was.

Before rushing into the Sword Master’s Hall, what exactly did the young Luo Xuan discover that made him so determined to slash the door aside and charge in?

At this moment, even Wang Teng from the Celestial Emperor Palace couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.

Jian Kuanglan’s words seemed to imply... Jian Kuanglan was truly a hypocrite!

Was this so-called ceremony for awakening Jian Ling’er’s Sword Heart really designed by Jian Kuanglan with ulterior motives?!

The young Luo Xuan looked at Jian Kuanglan, as if prolonging the time would be more beneficial to him as well, and he slowly began to speak.

"Firstly, when I destroyed the Sword Heart of Jian Po and his five companions, and you were about to grant me the five-day privilege of reading in the Sword Spirit Library Pavilion, I had intended to pass this privilege to Ling’Er.

At the time, you did not agree, and the reason you gave that Ling’Er could not comprehend without a Sword Heart was quite reasonable.

However, I noticed that when I expressed my solemn thanks to you twice, you didn’t seem very pleased.

I once thought it was for other reasons, but upon reflection, both times I solemnly thanked you, it was concerning Ling’Er.

Clearly, you have some plans for Ling’Er."

As soon as the young Luo Xuan spoke, a deep respect flashed in Jian Kuanglan’s eyes.

However, his mouth still said.

"Is that all? Even if this Sword Master was truly somewhat unhappy that day, it might have been triggered by Jian Po and the five’s Sword Heart being destroyed. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After all, their Sword Hearts were destroyed, Jian Po can no longer represent the Eastern Sword Domain in the Sword Dao Grand Competition, is this Sword Master not allowed to be displeased?"

This was precisely the explanation Ling’Er had previously offered to the young Luo Xuan.

At that time, Luo Xuan instinctively felt it might be so.

But subsequent events made him realize, things were far from this simple!

The young Luo Xuan’s expression revealed no joy or anger.

"In your eyes, my value clearly outweighs Jian Po’s by far.

Even if Jian Po’s Sword Heart was destroyed, so long as you can win me over and gain my favor, the matter of Jian Po’s Sword Heart being destroyed is utterly insignificant to you.

Your true intention was to win me over, yet when your objective was achieved, you seemed not so pleased.

I later realized, the reason you were like this was because you didn’t want to see me and Ling’Er too involved!

The better my relationship with Ling’Er, the greater the obstacle when implementing a plan concerning Ling’Er.

You wish to see me and Ling’Er as strangers, intentionally testing me with those two incidents, and when I sincerely thanked you for Ling’Er, you certainly didn’t want to see it!"

As the young Luo Xuan recounted all this.

The day of the Sword Dao Grand Competition of the Sword Spirit Race on the platform, Jian Kuanglan’s intent to win him over and show goodwill was impossible for him to miss.

When Jian Kuanglan granted him the five-day privilege to read the upper three levels of the Sword Spirit Library Pavilion.

He simply followed customary etiquette, offering Jian Kuanglan his thanks.

Later, when Jian Kuanglan ordered that no one disturbed him and Jian Ling’er and even said he would personally restore Jian Ling’er’s Sword Heart.

This prompted the young Luo Xuan to sincerely thank him twice.

Originally, it was obvious that Jian Kuanglan was trying to win over the young Luo Xuan, his joy fading considerably, even if only for a brief moment, it was noticed by Luo Xuan.

He felt puzzled then.

It was only until today he fully realized that those two incidents were all related to Jian Ling’er.

Seeing how much importance and care he placed on Jian Ling’er, Jian Kuanglan seemed not so pleased.

Jian Kuanglan’s true motives towards Jian Ling’er were now crystal clear!

As the young Luo Xuan spoke to this point, the appreciation in Jian Kuanglan’s gaze deepened further.

"Very good, continue."

The young Luo Xuan’s expression remained unchanged.

"Secondly, you are overly refined and affable, appearing as a truly noble gentleman.

You are entirely out of place with the arrogant disciples of the Sword Spirit Race and even those elders with their noses in the air."

Jian Kuanglan pondered for a moment.

Deliberately speaking.

"Even if that is true, perhaps it’s because this Sword Master is inherently refined, affable, and morally upright?"

Yet the young Luo Xuan didn’t explain, continuing on.

"Thirdly, you granted me that five-day reading privilege in the upper three levels of the Sword Spirit Library Pavilion, though it was fitting after Jian Po’s Sword Heart was destroyed, passed on to me.

But if you wished, you could have arranged for me to miss Ling’Er’s coming-of-age event and the so-called Sword Heart awakening ceremony during this period!"

The admiration in Jian Kuanglan’s eyes was almost uncontainable, yet he spoke intentionally.

"Even if that’s so, it might have been justifiable for this Sword Master to grant you this privilege.

After all, besides you, there was none else eligible back then."

The young Luo Xuan already continued.

"Fourthly, following the Sword Dao Grand Competition in the Eastern Sword Domain, you went into seclusion.

I had the opportunity to visit the Grand Elder before entering the Sword Spirit Library Pavilion but had no chance to pay you a visit.

This completely prevented me from gaining a genuine close understanding of you.

Obviously, you’re also avoiding opportunities of engagement with me, lest I truly see through anything!"

Though Jian Kuanglan’s heart was close to exclaiming, he continued speaking.

"Even if that were true, perhaps this Sword Master had just gained some insights and needed to go into seclusion."

And the voice of the young Luo Xuan already echoed throughout the grand hall.

"Fifthly, and most importantly, the Sword Manual of your Sword Spirit Race!"

Sword Manual?

Upon hearing this, Jian Kuanglan also showed a bit of puzzlement.

He agreed with everything the young Luo Xuan had said earlier, and it indeed was accurate.

But what did this have to do with the Sword Manual?

The young Luo Xuan’s face remained stern.

"The cultivation Sword Manual of the Sword Spirit Race is the foundation for all members of the Sword Spirit Race in their cultivation.

Even if one is the Sword Master, they initially cultivated from the Sword Manual, and due to deep cultivation, this foundation became even more solid, and consequently more influenced by the Sword Manual.

Ling’Er had passed on some basic Techniques from the Sword Manual to me initially.

This time, what I saw in the Sword Spirit Library Pavilion matched exactly with what Ling’Er had described before."

At this moment, the young Luo Xuan pointed directly at Jian Kuanglan.

"And the Sword Manual of your Sword Spirit Race, cultivates Power not the Heart!

Those who follow this Sword Manual to the end are invariably those willing to go to any lengths in pursuit of strength.

How could there be those like you, with such refinement and nobility!!"
