My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 327 - 203: Portrait of a Grandmaster

Chang'an.

Several figures clad in white robes and armed with swords walked along the streets, frequently drawing the sideways glances of the citizens.

Although Chang'an was bustling, it was rare to see people dressed in such a manner.

Some worldly Jianghu figures, through their attire, recognized their identity.

"They're from the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect."

"That old man is the Law Enforcement Elder of the Heavenly Mountain Sect, I've had the fortune of meeting him once."

"Are you talking about the 'Earth Sword' from 'Heaven and Earth Two Swords'? That's a Grandmaster-level character..."

"What is a Grandmaster from the Heavenly Mountain Sect doing in Chang'an?"

"Could it be because of the Heavenly Mountain Seven Killers?"

...

The group from the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect was indeed in town because of the Heavenly Mountain Seven Killers.

These individuals, originally disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect, who had repeatedly violated the sect's rules, were expelled from the sect. Before leaving, they killed their master and stole the Heavenly Mountain Sword Technique Secret Manual.

Over the years, the Law Enforcement Hall had been tracking and attempting to kill them.

However, due to the strength of these eight, who were adept at combining forces, the Law Enforcement Hall had encircled them numerous times but ended up escaping, in turn causing several disciples to be lost.

Last year, when they learned that the Seven Killers had appeared in Chang'an, the Law Enforcement Elder, a Grandmaster-level expert of the sect, personally led disciples to Chang'an.

But after several months, despite searching the entire Capital Region, they found no trace of them.

When they received news again, it turned out that for the assassination of court-appointed officials, they had already been captured by the Da Xia Court.

The life and death of the Heavenly Mountain Seven Killers didn't concern them.

But the sword manual had to be retrieved.

If the manual were to be leaked, it would pose a fatal threat to the lower-ranked disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Sect.

The Grandmaster's martial arts had reached the Transformation Realm, no longer fixed on specific moves.

But below the Grandmaster level, strength and moves were equally important.

Especially when fighting an opponent in the same realm, having one's sword moves seen through by the opponent almost certainly leads to defeat.

Having learned that the last two of the Heavenly Mountain Seven Killers were still alive and had been transferred to the Ministry of Justice, they immediately went there.

Outside the Ministry of Justice.

The government official on duty glanced at them and said, "Those are death-row prisoners for assassinating court officials; such prisoners are not permitted visits. Go back to where you came from."

Although the Heavenly Mountain Sect had an impressive reputation in Jianghu and even the Sanqing Sect would show some deference to a Heavenly Mountain Sect Grandmaster.

But this was Chang'an, after all, and even a minor government official could treat them as nothing.

The strong men of the Heavenly Mountain Sect were momentarily unsure what to do.

At this moment, several figures approached from a distance.

Seeing them, the official immediately ran over and greeted with a smile, "Young Master, you've arrived..."

The group's attention was also drawn to the newcomers.

The elder's gaze swept across the three and finally rested on the young woman, whose figure was somewhat plain.

This young girl, despite her young age, had such cultivation that, among the younger generation of the Heavenly Mountain Sect, probably no one could match her.

Moreover, this woman looked somehow familiar to him.

He quickly figured out where the familiarity came from.

At such an age and with such cultivation, she must come from a well-known great sect.

It so happened that he once attended a Martial Path tournament at the Sanqing Sect and had a deep impression of a young girl with exceptional talent.

Thinking back, the girl and the young woman before him had about eight or nine points of resemblance.

He remembered that she seemed to be called Song Yiren, the daughter of the direct disciple of the Shangqing lineage of the Sanqing Sect, the Sect Leader's own.

This matter also caused a stir in the Martial Arts World at the time.

The number one prodigy of the Sanqing Sect, during her time away from the sect to gain experience, had actually fallen in love with a man with no talent for martial arts, married him secretly without the sect's knowledge, and even had a child.

At that time, in the various sects of the Martial Arts World, many young disciples who adored her found this unacceptable.

Walking forward, Song Yiren performed a junior's salute to the elder and said, "Greetings to Senior Xu."

All who became Grandmasters were geniuses with both talent and insight, and disciples from other sects would typically show ample respect to a Grandmaster.

The elder smiled mildly and said, "So it's the little girl from the Sanqing Sect. How is your mother doing these days?"

Song Yiren replied, "Thank you for your concern, Senior; my mother is doing well."

The elder then turned to the young man beside her and asked, "And who might this be?"

Song Yiren glanced at Li Nuo and said, "This is my husband."

Upon hearing this, the elder took another closer look at Li Nuo, thinking that the girl of exceptional talent had gotten married, but her husband seemed to possess no cultivation...

Song Yiren asked, "What brings Senior Xu here?"

The elder heaved a sigh and explained, "Speaking of which, this is also a scandal for our Heavenly Mountain Sect. In retrospect, we should not have expelled those people but should have ruined their cultivation instead so they could no longer do any harm. Our trip down the mountain was intended to purge our sect, but it turns out they committed a heinous crime and have already been captured by the court..."

He continued, "When those individuals left the sect, they stole a sword manual from us. I wanted to see them to retrieve the manual, but they wouldn't allow it..."

Song Yiren knew the importance of a manual to a sect and turned to Li Nuo, saying, "If it wouldn't cause any trouble, let Senior Xu see them."

Li Nuo's face showed difficulty as he responded, "I understand the elder's feelings, but this goes against the rules of the Ministry of Justice..."

The elder knew whether he could succeed today depended entirely on the young man before him.

He clasped his hands in salute to Li Nuo and said, "I would ask for the Young Master's assistance. If ever there comes a day when our Heavenly Mountain Sect can be of help, our disciples would go through fire and water, unhesitatingly..."

Li Nuo looked at his own hands, gently rubbing his fingers together, and spoke, "But this would be breaking the rules..."

Having wandered far and wide to learn swordsmanship in his early years, he understood these social complexities. The elder pulled out several silver notes from his sleeve and quietly handed them over to Li Nuo, saying, "Please make this easy for me, Young Master..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the elder had stretched out his hand, it was grasped by Li Nuo.

Li Nuo, locking eyes with him, said, "Elder, in broad daylight, this would be considered bribery!"

The elder was taken aback, having not expected the situation to unfold like this.

At this time, Li Nuo looked at the government official and said, "To dare bribe a court-appointed officer, considering it's his first offense, detain him for one day to serve as punishment. Take him back to the Ministry of Justice and lock him up with those two dead men from the Heavenly Mountain Sect."

The four disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Sect upon seeing this, each placed their right hand upon the hilt of their swords.

Li Nuo glanced at them and said, "What, you're thinking of attacking this official? Take them away and detain them for one day as well."

The elder came back to his senses, glared fiercely at the four men, and then cupped his fists in thanks towards Li Nuo, saying, "Much obliged!"

He could clearly see that this young master was actually helping them in a roundabout way.

Li Nuo whispered, "Senior, take it easy, if you kill them, I'll have trouble explaining things here."

The elder said, "Young master, rest assured, I know when to hold back."

Li Nuo nodded and said to Anning and Yiren, "Let's go home."

After returning to the Li Mansion.

Li Nuo sat in the courtyard, gazing at the Law Code in front of him.

The number of years of his life hadn't increased.

After all, his method of law enforcement was suggestive and covert, so it was normal that it didn't add to his lifespan.

However, at the back of the Law Code, there was now a portrait of the elder.

Meanwhile, the portraits of the eight of the Heavenly Mountain Seven Killers, along with the four Heavenly Mountain disciples, had all disappeared.

Li Nuo closed his eyes and his mind was flooded with numerous exquisite sword moves, not just those of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Technique.

A Sword Path Master would not only know one type of swordsmanship.

It was simply that his Heavenly Mountain Sword Technique was the most exquisite.

At that moment, as Li Nuo watched Yiren practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, he saw that her previously perfect Heavenly Mountain Sword Technique now had many flaws.

Clearly, the Heavenly Mountain Sword Technique in his mind had been updated to the Grandmaster version.

Now he possessed the understanding of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Technique from a Sword Sect Grandmaster.

Inside the courtyard, Song Jiaren was learning to paint with Phoenix.

She glanced over and saw Li Nuo pick up a sword, and she put down her brush.

Phoenix also looked over at Li Nuo.

But the next moment, a look of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

That surprise quickly turned into astonishment.

Such exquisite swordsmanship!

The sword aura was fierce and infinitely variable, obviously the Heavenly Mountain Sword Technique but not entirely.

This set of sword moves, based on the Heavenly Mountain Sword Technique, included some other changes, defense within offense and offense within defense, forming its own style.

Phoenix calculated that if Li Nuo possessed the cultivation of the Fourth Realm, even if it was just the beginning stage, she probably wouldn't last twenty moves against him.

By swordsmanship alone.

Never mind that he was an ordinary person without any Martial Path Cultivation.

Even a Grandmaster would be no different…

Song Jiaren slowly stood up.

From Li Nuo's sword technique, she had gleaned some new insights.

In just a few days, his Heavenly Mountain Sword Technique had entered a new realm.

If before, his sword technique was merely proficient, it now touched the bounds of the Transformation Realm.

After a while.

Phoenix sat in the pavilion and gently pinched her wrist.

It hurt.

So it wasn't a dream.

But if it wasn't a dream, how could she be seeing Li Nuo teaching Song Jiaren swordsmanship?

Song Jiaren held the sword, while Li Nuo held her hand.

He believed, even the Grandmasters of the Heavenly Mountain Sect wouldn't teach their disciples this way.

But he could do so without reservation for his wife.

After teaching her twice that way, Li Nuo, having expended too much energy, stepped aside, letting her practice on her own.

Song Jiaren closed her eyes, but her sword moves didn't stop as she finely contemplated the sensation Li Nuo had taught her just before.

Once.

Twice.

Thrice.

…

She didn't know how many times she had practiced, but at a certain moment, a wave of True Qi suddenly surged inside her.

Song Yiren blankly watched her.

She was already progressing so quickly in her cultivation, and now she had another breakthrough. At this rate, she wouldn't be far from becoming a Grandmaster.

She looked at Li Nuo with a resentful gaze.

Previously, when he taught her, he had still held back.

He only taught Song Jiaren but not her; in his heart, Song Jiaren was always first.

Li Nuo had rested enough by now and waved to Yiren, saying, "Yiren, come here."

Song Yiren said with a touch of resentment, "What for?"

Li Nuo said, "What are you waiting for? It's your turn."

The resentment on Song Yiren's face immediately turned to joy, "Coming!"
