Chapter 1821: Two Disciples Are Jealous

"Master, I have practiced this 'Heaven-Slashing Sword Technique' many times, but I still cannot comprehend the essence of it. Can you teach me?"

In the martial arts training ground, Shangguan Shuyun asked Lin Jichen questions seriously.

Lin Ji Chen felt a little ashamed when he heard this. Since he accepted Shangguan Shuyun as his disciple, he had taught her only a few times. Most of the time, her disciple had been self-taught, and he was only responsible for giving her the secret manual.

Fortunately, Shangguan Shuyun was extremely talented, and she was able to master the secret techniques given to her very quickly. In addition, she was also very hardworking, and her progress was still much higher than that of other disciples.

Now that he had some free time, he naturally wanted to give some guidance to his apprentice.

"The Heaven-Slashing Sword Technique is an incredibly powerful sword move. Its sword intent contains extremely strong killing intent. Drawing the sword to slash the sky, slashing everything, killing everything. So if you want to truly master this move, you must learn to control your killing intent and integrate it into the way of the sword."

As Lin Ji Chen spoke, he casually broke off a branch, and then swung a sword at the iron black stone that weighed a hundred tons and was known for its hardness!

In an instant, the iron stone was split into two, cut like tofu.

Shangguan Shuyun was amazed and clapped his hands in applause.

Lin Jichen acted as if nothing had happened and continued, "Disciple, you have a weakness."

"Oh? Please teach me, Master." Shangguan Shuyun seemed to be interested and asked curiously.

Lin Jichen said seriously: "Master, you have great talent, but your sword skills lack the aura of killing and are not sharp enough. You must know that the sword is a killing weapon. We sword cultivators focus on killing all the enemies in the world and eliminating all injustices in the world. If your sword does not have the aura of killing, it will become a blunt weapon and cannot be compared with the real strong."

As he spoke, Lin Jichen looked at Shangguan Shuyun and said in surprise, "My disciple, you have achieved great success in swordsmanship, but you lack the will to kill. On the contrary, I have discovered that your swordsmanship is always full of compassion. When you fight with others or go out for training, even when you fight monsters, your sword never seems to go to the vital points."

"In this respect, you don't act like a disciple of my Sword Sect. Instead, you act like a disciple of the Buddhist Sect."

Lin Jichen's words made Shangguan Shuyun stand there in a daze, with a hint of guilt and nervousness flashing across his eyes.

"Master, I..."

She didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

Lin Jichen didn't doubt it, he just smiled and said, "You don't need to explain, and you don't need to feel guilty. I can understand you. You grew up under the protection of Buddhism when you were a child, so you naturally have a bit of Buddha nature. That's why you are always kind and soft-handed. This proves that you have a pure heart and no evil thoughts. This is also extremely rare. There are both good and bad sides."

Shangguan Shuyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and at the same time hurriedly asked for advice humbly.

Lin Ji Chen was just about to teach her his sword skills when Dongfang Yu ran over.

"Master, you said you would teach me magic, why haven't you started yet?"

Dongfang Yu's appearance interrupted their conversation.

Lin Ji Chen didn't care. He just thought that Dongfang Yu was eager to study. As a master, he was naturally pleased to have such a studious disciple.

"I am teaching you the way of the sword, my sister. I will teach you later."

Dongfang Yu was not willing to give in, saying, "No, Senior Sister is so strong and I am so weak, Master, please teach me first, otherwise I will definitely be left further and further behind by Senior Sister and I won't even have the face to be your apprentice."

Shangguan Shuyun frowned slightly when she heard this, feeling a little uncomfortable. She could sense that this new disciple was full of evil spirit and was deliberately targeting her.

Lin Jichen didn't think too much about it. Seeing that she was so anxious, he had no choice but to say to Shangguan Shuyun: "Shuyun, you practice on your own first. I will teach you the way of swordsmanship after I teach your junior sister."

Shangguan Shuyun did not argue like Dongfang Yu, but nodded obediently: "Yes, Master, I will wait for you."

"Well, let's go."

Lin Ji Chen walked away, ready to teach Dongfang Yu elsewhere.

After all, Dongfang Yu has a special identity, and he is learning magic, so it is not easy to teach him in front of other people.

After he left, Dongfang Yu deliberately fell behind, and then secretly cast a provocative look at Shangguan Shuyun.

Shangguan Shuyun just smiled lightly and didn't want to be angry with the little girl.

Seeing that he was being ignored, Dongfang Yu was unwilling to accept it and whispered to him, "Don't think I don't know that you have bad intentions towards Master!"

Shangguan Shuyun's eyes shone, and he asked coldly, "What do you mean?"

Dongfang Yu snorted, "You are simply not interested in wine. Don't think I don't know that you look innocent, but you are actually a slut. Your apprenticeship is fake, but you are really after my master's body!"

Shangguan Shuyun's face turned red. It was the first time she was called a slut, and her hidden plan was exposed on the spot.

At this moment, Shangguan Shuyun wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but she was more shocked. She had hidden herself so well, how could this female disciple, who had just arrived on her first day, have seen through her?

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shangguan Shuyun would naturally not admit it. If he admitted it, would he still have the face to stay?

Dongfang Yu sneered, "You must be curious about how I know this, right? I won't tell you, humph. Anyway, I will never let you succeed."

With that, Dongfang Yu walked away triumphantly like a proud swan, leaving Shangguan Shuyun with a complicated expression on his face without saying a word.

In the following days, Dongfang Yu targeted Shangguan Shuyun everywhere. No matter what Shangguan Shuyun did, as long as he approached Lin Jichen, she would find ways to stop him.

Shangguan Shuyun also chose to endure the humiliation again and again.

As their master, Lin Jichen noticed something was wrong in the rivalry between the two disciples, but he didn't know how to deal with it.

One was his first apprentice, who was intelligent and kind-hearted, and he liked him very much.

The other one is not only an old acquaintance of his, but also has a special identity and is equally talented.

Lin Ji Chen didn't know how to treat everyone equally. After all, it was his first time to be a master, just like Leng Feiyan at the beginning.

However, seeing that Shangguan Shuyun never bothered with Dongfang Yu, he chose to pretend not to see it.

These days, he has been dealing with accumulated sect affairs, teaching his two disciples how to practice, and accompanying Nangong Yue at night. His schedule is very tight, but his days are quite fulfilling.

Seeing that the sect's affairs were almost handled, Lin Ji Chen prepared to let the Great Elder Tianjian manage the sect on his behalf, and he would begin to retreat and break through.

In the Sword Palace Hall, Lin Ji Chen held a meeting and prepared to announce this decision.

However, at this moment, an elder from the outer hall came running in.

"Master, there is someone outside the sect who wants to see you!"

Elder Tianjian was dissatisfied and scolded: "Nonsense! Can't you see that my Sword Sect is in a meeting? Everyone has to wait until our meeting is over. Get out!"

Lin Jichen asked doubtfully, "Who wants to see you?"

The elder from the outer hall immediately responded: "It's the former elder, Li Mu..."
