Chapter 0304 – The Evil One – Absolute Returns

"What an honor, I’m just old and ugly." One Flower Sword Venerable said.</p>

"You are more beautiful than ever." I said.</p>

"Just don’t comfort me." One Flower Sword Honored One said.</p>

"I’m not comforting you, I’m serious, you look more attractive and clearer now than you ever have before." I said.</p>

Sword Honored One Flower looked at me and asked, "Are you serious?"</p>

"Hasn’t anyone ever said that to you, before?" I asked.</p>

"In the past, I’ve never shown my veiled face to anyone." One Flower Sword Honored One said.</p>

It seemed that she had gotten used to wearing makeup, and she had always believed that the only way to make herself beautiful was to wear makeup.</p>

"You are really beautiful, clean and elegant the way you are right now." I said.</p>

"What about these wrinkles?" Swordsman Ichika asked, pointing at his face.</p>

"They are as beautiful and powerful as your sword energy just now." I said.</p>

Swordsman Ichika laughed happily when he heard my words.</p>

"You’re still the best at talking, you always make me happy." One Flower Sword Honored One said.</p>

"I’m just being honest." I said.</p>

I know that even if she puts on more makeup, she can’t compare to the beauty of Eve and Qin Xia Ling. But at least, among middle-aged women, her plain face, she was definitely the most beautiful. In that world, she was Eve and Qin Xia Ling.</p>

"I’ve always felt that you’re energetic and tireless. Even if you like taking care of people as much as you do, there are times when you get tired, right? How do you always manage to say such nice things?" One Flower Sword Honored One asked.</p>

"Because I’m naturally a horse’s ass." I said with a smile.</p>

Sword Honored One Flower shook his head, looked at me, and said, "Only confident people can sincerely praise others, and I envy your confidence."</p>

She looked so confident, so strong, I didn’t realize that, inside, she was so fragile.</p>

"I think that having a good relationship with all the Demon Elders is the way for me to become stronger. Every word I say is equivalent to swinging my sword once, twice. I’m trying to cultivate every day, swinging my sword until my arms are sore, compared to that, what’s a few good words?" I said.</p>

"Isn’t it harder to get along with people?" One Flower Sword Honored One asked.</p>

"The intensity of your practice, is it too low?" I said with a smile.</p>

"It seems that I have indeed been too slack." The One Flower Sword Venerable said with a smile.</p>

We smiled at each other. Indeed, getting along with people is much harder than practicing martial arts.</p>

"Elder Swordfather, I have something that I need to tell you." I said.</p>

"Go ahead." The One Flower Sword Venerable said.</p>

"Szeto Zong he ……"</p>

When I mentioned Situ Zong’s name, a trace of displeasure flashed across the face of Swordsman Yifa.</p>

"He’s in trouble." I said.</p>

No matter what I planned to do with Situ Zong, I had to tell One Flower Sword Venerable first. I did not tell her that Situ Zong had grasped her weakness, nor did I tell her that the Soul Regenerating Demon Dignitary was also involved.</p>

"Don’t ask about the specifics, leave it to me." I said.</p>

The One Flower Sword Venerable nodded and didn’t say anything else.</p>

I wanted to kill Situ Zong directly, but on second thought, I let it go. Although Situ Zong is despicable, he is not stupid.</p>

"Situ Zong, what exactly are you playing at? Aren’t you afraid of death?" I said secretly in my heart.</p>

"O oldest, if you want to blossom, you have to wait until spring."</p>

Xu Dalong looked at the pot of flowers in front of him that had been relegated from second to third place, sighed, and said, "But our spring, it will never come."</p>

Ever since he became the Yellow Springs Pavilion Master, he had been busy.</p>

His desk was piled high with all sorts of documents. After becoming the Yellow Springs Pavilion Master, the things he had to deal with and the people he had to meet were much more than before. He once thought that after becoming the Yellow Springs Pavilion Master, he would be able to change this world, but reality disappointed him.</p>

"I hate work!"</p>

Today, he suddenly didn’t want to work, he just wanted to look out the window and stare.</p>

Back then, when Jian Wuji served as the Yellow Springs Pavilion Master, he had also done this work, and, for the most part, it was him who had accomplished it.</p>

But when these jobs, truly, became his responsibility, he felt an unprecedented pressure.</p>

"I still like the days when I was with the Young Sect Master, breaking into the world." Xu Dalong said.</p>

What he missed the most was the time when he participated in the Young Dragon Battle and won the championship. He still remembered the feeling of standing on the martial arts stage and listening to the cheers of the audience below the stage, it was fantastic! He had already bragged about it so many times with Eve and Zhang Hao, that he was embarrassed to mention it now.</p>

"I want to go back in time!"</p>

Just then, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.</p>

Xu Dalong jerked his head up and shouted in surprise when he saw the visitor, "Young Sect Master!"</p>

Jian Wuji stood in the doorway with a smile.</p>

"It’s hard, isn’t it?" Jian Wuji asked.</p>

"Hard work." Xu Dalong said bitterly.</p>

Ever since he became the Yellow Springs Pavilion Master, it was the first time that he, for the first time, told someone else about his hard work. Moreover, this person, was still the young sect master of the Heavenly Demon Sect.</p>

"I know you’re working hard, that’s why I let you do this job, otherwise, I would have done it myself." Jian Wuji said with a smile.</p>

"You are also too cruel!" Xu Dalong said.</p>

He hadn’t joked with Jian Wuji like this for a long time, and he suddenly realized that he really missed Jian Wuji. Although he was now the Yellow Springs Pavilion Master and a disciple of the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon, what he missed the most was still Jian Wuji.</p>

"Why don’t we change jobs?" Jian Wuji said.</p>

"Swap with you?" Xu Dalong asked.</p>

"Come on, I’ll tell you what my job is. I’m going to meet the Drunken Demon and listen to his complaints, and I’m going to see my big brother and the Demon Buddha, and I’m going to help the Poison King collect medicine, and I’m going to play chess with my father, and I’m going to cultivate …… all night long," Sword Wuji said.</p>

Xu Dalong suddenly felt as if his work, too, wasn’t that hard anymore. He really missed Jian Wuji and his off-color jokes.</p>

"I suddenly feel that my job, seems to be quite easy, I’ve decided that I’m going to do it until I die." Xu Dalong said with a smile.</p>

Jian Wuji didn’t joke anymore as he looked at Xu Dalong and said seriously, "Tough on you, my right hand man."</p>

Hearing the words "right-hand man", Xu Dalong’s eyes moistened. He was too busy, so busy that he had forgotten that he was once Jian Wuji’s right-hand man. A sentence of "hard work" was enough, and it was enough for someone to know how hard he had worked.</p>

Yeah, it’s really important to be recognized. If no one recognizes you, even if you do something good, you will feel aggrieved. Xu Dalong is using his own personal experience to learn how to treat his subordinates.</p>

"It’s not hard work, my life, it’s what how many people dream of, I will work hard, bow and die! Young Preceptor, spring has come, my heart, too, is full of flowers!" Xu Dalong said excitedly.</p>

After venting the emotions in his heart, Xu Dalong asked, "You came to Yellow Springs Pavilion today, is there something you want?"</p>

If it was before, Jian Wuji would have said, "Come, let’s work together." But today, he gave Xu Dalong enough respect.</p>

Jian Wuji looked at Xu Dalong and said seriously, “Pavilion Master Xu, I have something that I need your help with, let’s go catch a bad guy together.”
