Chapter 95

Mò Dà successfully ambushed and killed Dà Sōngyáng Hand Fèi Bīn with the Seventy-Two Movements of the Whirlwind Goose Sword Technique. This "Lute and Flute Lament" mission is almost complete.

After chatting with Mr. Mò Dà, Alfa not only earned his admiration but also received an item. Before Alfa could clearly see what was written on the thread-bound book, Liú Zhèngfēng hurriedly came over to congratulate Alfa.

"What are you congratulating me for?"

Mr. Mò Dà was elusive, and Liú Zhèngfēng congratulated himself as if he were possessed. For a moment, Alfa was completely at a loss.

Liú Zhèngfēng smiled sincerely.

"My senior brother has taken you as a disciple. Is the book in your hand the Whirlwind Goose Sword Technique?"

Huh? Whirlwind Goose Sword Technique?!

Alfa quickly checked and indeed saw the five large characters "Whirlwind Goose Sword" on the thread-bound book.

[Whirlwind Goose Sword: 5th-grade sword technique, can be learned at Martial Arts Level 30, one of the three specialties of Hengshan, with "Nine Geese Falling with One Sword" Liú Zhèngfēng being the highest master. This sword technique is a special reward and is not subject to the limit on the number of martial arts techniques that can be learned.]

Sword technique!!!

Finally, I have a sword technique!!!

Ever since encountering Xiū Qī, Alfa had been regretting choosing the hidden weapon skill. After all, wielding a sword is much cooler.

Initially, Alfa gave up the sword technique due to his physique and lack of suitable weapons, but now that his physique is strong enough, he couldn't help but feel the urge to wield a sword, especially after seeing Xiū Qī's [Golden Snake Sword]. Alfa knew that the sword issue could also be resolved, making his desire to learn the sword technique even stronger.

Alfa originally thought that since he had chosen the hidden weapon skill, he would have to wait until he reached the Legendary realm to learn the sword technique, which would take a long time. But unexpectedly...

However, why did Mò Dà only pass on Liú Zhèngfēng's ultimate skill [Whirlwind Goose Sword] to him and not his own ultimate skill [Thirteen Transformations of Hengshan Cloud and Mist]? Although both are Hengshan sword techniques, Alfa felt it was a bit strange.

When Liú Zhèngfēng saw that the sword technique in Alfa's hand was the [Whirlwind Goose Sword], his expression became serious, and a hint of gratitude appeared in his eyes.

Alfa then understood. It turned out that Mò Dà was taking on a disciple on behalf of Liú Zhèngfēng.

In the battle at the Liú residence, Liú Zhèngfēng's true disciples were all killed by the Thirteen Protectors of Songshan. The remaining traitors would be dealt with one by one by Mò Dà. Thus, Liú Zhèngfēng had no real successors left.

Alfa was smart and had decent skills, making him a good seed. With his life in danger, Liú Zhèngfēng couldn't officially take on a disciple, so Mò Dà took the initiative to make the decision, passing on the [Whirlwind Goose Sword] to Alfa, telling Liú Zhèngfēng to rest in peace, knowing that his sword technique would continue to be passed down.

Mò Dà, who was not talkative or sociable, was actually a thoughtful and considerate person. Alfa couldn't help but respect him even more.

Regardless, this was a cause for celebration.

"Today is really a great day!!!"

Alfa excitedly waved his fist, only to realize that Qū Fēiyān was still behind him, and the two old men were still lying there... With no immediate danger, the two old men were chatting again.

"Brother Liú, you once said that your senior brother and you did not get along, but I didn't expect him to come to your aid in your time of need."

Qū Yáng patted Liú Zhèngfēng's shoulder, and the latter sighed.

"My senior brother's behavior is unpredictable. I don't get along with him, but it's not because of wealth or poverty. It's just that our personalities don't match."

Qū Yáng shook his head.

"His sword technique is so exquisite, but the music he plays is so mournful and tear-inducing, it's too vulgar and lacks the sophistication of a true artist."

Liú Zhèngfēng said, "Yes..."

These two old men, even at this moment, were still discussing music. Alfa, with his short temper, directly interrupted Liú Zhèngfēng.

"Seniors, although Fèi Bīn has been punished, the Songshan Sect will surely send more people to hunt us down. Even if you two can face death without fear, don't you care about Qū Fēiyān's life and the legacy of your music?"

"Grandpa..."

Qū Fēiyān, with red eyes, walked to Qū Yáng's side and tightly hugged his arm.

"Ah, young hero, you speak the truth. My brother and I have been obsessed with music all our lives, but we have neglected our families. Ah, such a sin, such a sin."

Qū Yáng sighed.

Liú Zhèngfēng, looking at Qū Fēiyān curled up next to Qū Yáng, also thought of his own dead wife and children, and couldn't help but sigh, repeating Qū Yáng's words.

"Such a sin, such a sin, such a sin..."

Qū Yáng gently stroked Qū Fēiyān's hair and looked up at Alfa.

"Young brother, I won't ask for your name. You have a noble heart and came to our aid. I trust you."

Although the words were vague, Alfa understood that Qū Yáng was entrusting him with something. Alfa nodded, and Qū Yáng looked at Liú Zhèngfēng, who also nodded. Qū Yáng then continued.

"Qū Fēiyān has grown up with me in the martial world. Although her skills are low, she can protect herself. I won't burden her for life. However, my brother and I have a request. Can you agree to it?"

Alfa, of course, knew what it was.

To be honest, Alfa really didn't want to get involved. He thought the [Smiling, Proud Wanderer] and [Guangling San] were just a bunch of nonsense. It was ridiculous to cause family destruction and death over a piece of music. Alfa really didn't respect these old men.

However, seeing Qū Fēiyān's pitiful face and considering that although he had obtained the [Whirlwind Goose Sword], his goal of improving his hidden weapon skills had not been achieved, Alfa reluctantly nodded.

"Seniors, whatever you command, I will follow."

Qū Yáng looked at Liú Zhèngfēng and said...

...

...

"...Finally, in Cài Yōng's tomb, we found the score of [Guangling San]. Hahahaha."

Alfa had to endure the small清新 atmosphere of Qū Yáng and Liú Zhèngfēng singing and exchanging glances while giving a history lesson about the [Smiling, Proud Wanderer].

"I'm about to fall asleep."

Alfa thought to himself.

After the story, it was time to face reality. Qū Yáng's smile faded, and his expression turned somber.

"Today, we two old men ask you to remember our efforts and carry the lute and flute scores into the world, finding a successor."

After a moment, Qū Yáng continued.

"Young brother, I am a member of the demonic sect, and my brother Liú has become an enemy of the righteous sects because of me. We shouldn't burden you, but in this urgent situation, we have no choice. Please don't blame us."

As he spoke, Qū Yáng handed Alfa a score, the [Smiling, Proud Wanderer].

"Don't blame us."

Alfa took the score and found it had no attributes, just a mission item. How was he supposed to complete this mission? Did he have to stay in the [Martial Space]?

Just as he was puzzled, Qū Yáng pulled out a book and a sword.

"This is the technique and heart method of my [Black Blood Needle]. I see that you are also skilled in hidden weapons, so I believe you will be interested.

However, the [Black Blood Needle Poison] is too vicious, and I have abandoned it. I left a little for Qū Fēiyān for self-defense. If you are interested, you can find the [Wáng Nángū Poison Manual] to learn how to make the poison.

This sword is the [Lute Heart Sword] I obtained from Cài Yōng's tomb. It is named for the courage and heart of a lute player. I will also give it to you."

Alfa thought that the [Black Blood Needle] relied on poison to be effective, and Qū Yáng had abandoned the poison, leaving a little for his granddaughter for self-defense. The thinking of the demonic sect was indeed strange.

However, the sword was quite good. The scabbard was an ancient scabbard from the Eight Scenic Spots. He wondered if Xiū Qī's sword case and [Golden Snake Sword] were also obtained by completing missions.

Honestly, the rewards were quite exciting for Alfa, but he didn't say much, just thanked them and stood there. He still had some reservations about the two old men's obsession with music.

However, he felt a bit embarrassed and wanted to say something nice, but found that Qū Yáng and Liú Zhèngfēng had already held hands and passed away.

Alfa looked at Qū Fēiyān with some sympathy. Her only relative, her grandfather, was gone, and the impact on the young girl must have been significant. However, to Alfa's surprise, Qū Fēiyān did not cry out loud. She just pursed her lips and said nothing.

Alfa felt a wave of sympathy.

"Qū Fēiyān... you..."

"Brother, what's your name?"

"Qín Yù."

When emotions run deep, it's hard to control them. Even though he knew Qū Fēiyān was just an NPC, Alfa still told her his real name.

"Brother Qín, I know you won't stay here. Qū Fēiyān only asks you to keep the score of my grandfather and not waste his life's work. Qū Fēiyān thanks you."

Alfa was deeply moved. The girl's resilience was even more touching than the original story where she was killed by Fèi Bīn. The thought of this young girl drifting alone in the world made Alfa speechless.

Although she was just an NPC, and everything would end when he left the [Martial Space], Alfa still felt a bit choked up.

"I promise you, Qū Fēiyān, but you must also promise me to live well."

From that moment on, Alfa decided to complete the mission related to the [Smiling, Proud Wanderer] score, even though he didn't know how to proceed.

Qū Fēiyān's eyes reddened, and she was about to give Alfa a tight hug. However, just as Alfa was about to accept the warm embrace, a notification sounded inappropriately.

"Learned 3rd-grade hidden weapon skill [Black Blood Needle].

Received additional 5th-grade sword technique [Whirlwind Goose Sword]. Martial Arts Level 30 required to use [Whirlwind Goose Sword].

Received additional item [Smiling, Proud Wanderer Score].

Received additional reward [Lute Heart Sword]."

Alfa was frustrated. He had never felt so憋屈 when receiving a mission reward. Why did the teleportation happen at this moment? Couldn't it wait for Qū Fēiyān to express her emotions?

— In Qū Fēiyān's surprised gaze, Alfa turned into a white light and left the [Martial Space]...
