I Just Wanted To Live but I Somehow Became Better Than the Protagonist

Just Wanting to Live a Good Life But Surpassing the Protagonist – 10 Heaven’s Arrangement?

Zangjian Peak, a certain true disciple’s residence, a closed-door training room.

The room was very empty, with two paintings hanging on the wall.

One was full of righteous qi. In the distance, twenty-four peaks of different sizes were magnificent, some reaching straight to the sky, like peaks that ascended to heaven, the abodes of immortals. The nearby forest was full of life, from large trees and animals to small flowers and insects, all lifelike.

The other was imposing, without too much decoration, and there was only a divine weapon in the middle, constantly emanating power. For cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, just looking at it would make them feel their souls impacted, and they would be deterred by the sword’s power.

Except for the two paintings, there was nothing else. A woman in red was sitting on the ground. She was as if she was sleeping, without the slightest movement, and even her breathing was so light that it didn’t exist. This state had been maintained for a whole week. Suddenly, the long eyelashes on her beautiful face moved slightly, and then she opened her eyes.

A sword intent containing a strong sense of oppression flashed through her beautiful eyes.

“I’ve finally completely mastered it.” Qin Shimeng took out her sword, without adding any spiritual power, she just drew it and flicked it, and the sword body made a slight hum, as if it had life.

Early Golden Core stage sword intent.

For Jie Jing cultivators to master early Golden Core stage sword intent is actually not too rare. Many late Jie Jing geniuses can do it, but the problem is that only heaven’s favorites can master Golden Core sword intent across an entire major realm in the early Jie Jing stage.

Genius and heaven’s favorite, the difference of one word, but the gold content is completely different. A genius is an outstanding existence among ordinary people, while a heaven’s favorite is a genius among geniuses, a proud son of heaven favored by the heavens.

Putting away the sword, looking at the two paintings in front of her, Qin Shimeng couldn’t help but think of a certain person’s face: “If it weren’t for him, I’m afraid I would still be struggling to understand the opening chapter of the sword technique.”

Qin Shimeng’s talent is not worse than those heaven’s favorites. The difference is that she grew up in the Qin family. The Qin family does not have a heaven-grade sword technique, while other heaven’s favorite families do. Those heaven’s favorites have been in contact With heaven-grade sword techniques since childhood, and with the accumulation of time and talent, they can naturally master Golden Core sword intent in the early Jie Jing stage.

And Qin Shimeng had only been in contact with heaven-grade sword techniques for two weeks. Now she has surpassed them. Apart from the sword heart grass that Ye Yong gave her, her talent cannot be ignored.

However, Qin Shimeng ignored her own talent at this moment, and only thought of Ye Yong’s help.

After all, the reason why she was able to change so much in just three months was all because of Ye Yong.

Thinking of Ye Yong, her heart became a little restless, and she inexplicably wanted to see him.

But last time, for some reason, she started to be unable to look at his face properly, and she became a little awkward when she spoke… Qin Shimeng was also afraid of seeing Ye Yong, afraid that she would make some jokes and leave a bad impression on Ye Yong.

Sighing, Qin Shimeng really couldn’t figure out this contradictory mood, and walked out of the closed-door training room.

In the living room, Xiao Huan was sitting on a chair reading a book.

In an era without the internet, books were the daily pastime for women. It was not unreasonable for ancient scholars to be so popular. They were like modern idols. The poems they wrote were like songs, allowing people to sing and appreciate the artistic conception in the poems.

Hearing the movement, Xiao Huan put down the book, and seeing Qin Shimeng come out of seclusion, she ran to her excitedly: “Miss, Miss! You can’t guess what happened these days!”

“About Yong-ge?” Qin Shimeng felt that she was somewhat accustomed to Ye Yong’s strange behavior. She had not seriously tried to understand him before, but the more she understood him now, the more mysterious he became, and he was very capable of giving people unexpected surprises.

“It’s about Young Master Ye!” Xiao Huan recounted the whole story of Ye Yong’s adventure outside to kill the demons; and then his duel with Ye Mao, where he did not use any cultivation spiritual power, and defeated Ye Mao with a single sword strike.

Qin Shimeng had just thought that she would no longer be surprised by Ye Yong’s strange behavior, but she was still shocked after hearing this.

Ye Yong acted as bait to kill the demons, so that part could be ignored since he did not participate in the battle. Breaking sword techniques with sword intent, this was a real ability.

“His mastery of sword intent is probably far more than the early stage of the Golden Core realm…” Qin Shimeng suddenly thought of the painting in the closed-door training room that contained the sword intent of the Nascent Soul realm.

Qin Shimeng had previously thought that Ye Yong had obtained it from the master of the Yinhua Hall, but now that she thought about it carefully, no matter how skilled the master of the Yinhua Hall was in painting, she was not a sword cultivator after all , and did not understand the sword, so there was no way she could display the sword intent in that way. Therefore, there was no doubt that the person who created that painting was Ye Yong, and he himself had already mastered the sword intent of the Nascent Soul realm.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator with the sword intent of the Nascent Soul realm, what kind of talent was this?

“Miss, what are you talking about? I don’t understand. Everyone says it’s the early stage of the Golden Core realm.” Xiao Huan was not a cultivator and did not know much.

Qin Shimeng just shook her head gently, without answering.

“Oh, right, Miss, Young Master Ye sent me a sound transmission stone two days ago to tell me that the materials are all ready, and we can go over to temper our bodies at any time.” Xiao Huan also wanted to cultivate very much, but ever since her Miss went into closed-door training, apart from cleaning and reading books, there was really nothing else she could do.

“Hmm…” Qin Shimeng’s heart was still somewhat conflicted and tangled, but seeing Xiao Huan’s expectant eyes, she finally decided to go and find Ye Yong.

After getting back the sound transmission stone that Ye Yong had given her from Xiao Huan, Qin Shimeng contacted him, and when she heard his voice, Qin Shimeng’s heartbeat suddenly quickened for a moment.

“Yong-ge, are you, are you free now? It’s about Xiao Huan tempering her body…” Qin Shimeng was quite uneasy, she hoped that Ye Yong would agree, but also hoped that he would refuse.

After receiving a reply that she could go over, Qin Shimeng relaxed with a nervous sigh of relief.

If there was a test for contradictions, Qin Shimeng would definitely pass at this moment.

“Miss? You seem a little strange.” After all, they had grown up together since they were young, and Xiao Huan discovered that Qin Shimeng was not quite the same as usual. In the past, her Miss was always full of confidence, and even when her cultivation was stuck at a bottleneck, she had never shown such a confused expression.

“What’s wrong.” Qin Shimeng could not admit it: “Hurry up and prepare, don’t keep people waiting.”

“I’m already prepared!” Xiao Huan immediately ran back to her room, and quickly took out a small bundle. She had read the information, body tempering required soaking in medicinal liquid to expel toxins from the body, so the small bundle contained clean clothes.

“You ah.” Qin Shimeng shook her head with a smile, she was also happy for Xiao Huan to be able to temper her body. Although it was somewhat of a mood-killer, she had to emphasize a few points, least her expectations be too high and her disappointment be even greater: “Body tempering is not necessarily successful. If you succeed, you will only be slightly stronger than a mortal, not even a martial artist. Whether you can cultivate in the future and successfully become a cultivator depends on whether the heavens give you a chance and whether you work hard yourself.”

“I will definitely work hard, but I don’t believe in any chances given by the heavens.” Xiao Huan rarely showed a serious expression: “If the heavens really gave me a chance, then I shouldn’t have the lowest grade of spiritual roots, nor should I have failed to temper my body before, causing Miss to waste materials and worry. The chance was given to me by Young Master Ye.”

Qin Shimeng was silent for a moment: “What if the chance given by the heavens is actually meeting Young Master Ye as you said? In any case, you must always maintain a heart of reverence for the heavens, and you cannot speak ill of the heavens. The heavens have their own arrangements.”

Xiao Huan nodded, the heavens have always been very mysterious since ancient times, but compared to the unpredictable heavens, she believed that it was more real to believe in Ye Yong. If not for Ye Yong, she felt that according to the arrangement of the heavens, she would most likely be just a mortal in this life, with no hope of becoming a cultivator.
