The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

Chapter 438: Breaking Defense in 1 Second

"What a huge ship...it's a warship!"

The powerful weapon hobby XP in Liu Che's heart was activated.

This thing looks very powerful!

I can’t imagine what a sunny and cheerful boy he would be if he had such a big warship, and one that could float in the air!

"Can we build this thing?"

The ministers below shook their heads wildly.

Can't make anything!

…………

"From a distance, it doesn't look particularly remarkable," Jiao Qiu commented.

"At least for Yaoqing Xianzhou, who possess abundant martial virtue, this type of warship is quite common."

"Who made Yaoqing Xianzhou the vanguard of the Xianzhou Alliance?"

"This Jingfeng ship was converted from a decommissioned Luofu vessel. Until the official martial arts demonstration begins, no one is allowed to board the ship."

"But tomorrow, when the bells ring and the cannons fire, Yanqing will represent the Cloud Cavalry of the immortal ship Luofu, step onto the stage, and accept the challenge of brave warriors from all directions."

"Yanqing has been brought up by the general since he was a child, taught swordsmanship and military tactics. Every day he would swing his sword 10,000 times, slash 10,000 times, and stab 10,000 times, over and over again..."

"I understand. I seem a little different from other kids. I've never envied their toys or their freedom, nor have I ever thought sword training was boring or difficult."

"Even if I were to enter the battlefield and slay the enemy, confronting those hideous and hideous creatures, I would not fear the slightest bit."

"Every day I feel myself getting stronger, stronger, and stronger... There's no greater joy in the world than grasping victory time and time again."

"But then, I took a blow from someone. That blow shattered my once-perfect confidence. The moment that blow struck me, I felt fear for the first time."

“Perhaps this is what Mr. Jiaoqiu meant by ‘the moment of death and rebirth, all thoughts become empty.’ ”

"After that, Yan Qing had no choice but to lower his head, pick up the broken pieces one by one, and piece them together, trying to recreate the happy self of the past."

“But no matter what I do, I can’t seem to regain the feeling I had before.”

"From time to time, I ask myself, why do I swing my sword? If I'm destined to face another defeat, why do I continue to swing my sword? Is it to recapture the joy of victory, to meet the general's expectations? Or to leave a legacy for the Cloud Riders?"

"The general could teach me the art of swordsmanship, but he couldn't teach me the reason for wielding the sword. He told me, 'I must find the reason for wielding the sword myself.' For this, Yan Qing was deeply troubled and tossed and turned."

"But after this conversation with Mr. Jiaoqiu, Yanqing already had the answer in his mind."

"As a member of the Cloud Riders and the General's disciple, I bear much, and am destined to bear even more."

“But only when I swing my sword do I feel like I can let go of everything. I love the feeling of myself swinging my sword with all my might, charging forward without hesitation.”

"It is precisely for this kind of me that I swing my sword."

"Yan Qing looked at the Jingfeng warship, and was moved by it, analyzing his own mental journey."

"If it were him from the past, facing such a grand spectacle as the upcoming martial arts ceremony, he would definitely be even more excited, even more thrilled..."

"But now, he won't. That impetuous Yan Qing has died at the hands of Jing Liu's sword."

"After being slashed by Jingliu's sword and beaten up by Ren and Danheng... It's already a good thing that Yanqing's Dao heart hasn't been broken."

Gai Nie just felt that this child was very miserable.

He was obviously a genius and was about to show his skills, but he encountered strong men of the older generation one after another and was beaten up one after another.

So much so that now, at such a young age, he already has an adult mentality.

Although he has indeed grown a lot and is much more likable than before...

…………

"Yanqing, Yanqing, you look so old at such a young age..." Jiaoqiu sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "How old are you this year?"

Yan Qing complained, "It has nothing to do with my age. Anyone who practices swordsmanship will understand my feelings."

"Alas... I understand. Luofu's children have suffered so much." Jiao Qiu sighed and shook his head: "What do you want to say, Miss Yunli?"

Yun Li said seriously, "It's rude to ask a girl's age, no matter which immortal ship you're on."

"I'm not asking about age!" Jiao Qiu was speechless. "I'm asking... do you have a dream like Brother Yanqing?"

Yunli complained, "You don't look like a chef, you look more like a host."

(This is the Q&A session with the host, right?)

"…Remember this, I'm a healer." Jiao Qiu was completely speechless. Are children so difficult to deal with nowadays?

"I... don't have dreams like Little Brother Yanqing. The reason I challenged Shou Tui Jing Feng was simply because I promised Grandpa that I would win the sword he gifted me for the martial arts ceremony." Yun Li said calmly.

Yan Qing shook his head: "Your mind is full of swords."

Yunli retorted: "You have nothing else in your head either!"

"The two looked at each other. San Yueqi thought they were going to quarrel again and was about to intervene, but unexpectedly, Yun Li's eyes dimmed."

"My...father was the craftsman of the Zhu Ming Immortal Boat. Because of a single foolish thought, many people died under the demonic sword he created."

“From a young age, I understood that many people are unfit to hold weapons. To allow them to wield swords is to commit cruelty against innocent people.”

"Whenever I encounter someone whose virtue doesn't match their sword, I can't help but itch to wrest the weapon from them. This is because... Brother Yanqing is defending the ring for this martial arts ceremony. I'm stepping in out of goodwill to ensure that the sword doesn't fall into the wrong hands."

"No wonder Yunli insisted on taking Yanqing's sword. Was it because she saw that Yanqing was absent-minded at the time and thought that Yanqing was not good with the sword?"

Ou Yezi suddenly understood.

He said that Yunli was such a cute little girl and would not do anything so extreme.

...Okay, he admitted that he was a fan of appearance.

He is so cute, there is no way he is a bad boy!

…………

"What does it mean to be entrusted to the wrong person? Explain it to me clearly!"

"Yan Qing, who was very mature just now, broke down in a second. Only in front of Yun Li can he regain some of his former self."

"Perhaps this is why Jing Yuan asked Yan Qing and Yun Li to play together. Children should act like children. What's the point of acting like little adults all day long?"

"Ah, I understand. Zhu Ming's children have suffered too." Jiao Qiu sighed again, "Having a reason to wield a sword is always better than being at a loss. I've saved many Cloud Riders in my life, including two exceptional warriors like you..."
