XIAO SHUXIANG'S

72 - Hill 4 Elders [Revised]

Long enough for them to fly, Jing Mi and the others could see four hills, one of which had three colors: green, white and blue.

The four hills seemed to surround and flank a large city, bigger than Lotus Leaf Town.

The city itself was named 'Star Sky', a city so famous in the Middle Sun Empire including the other two Empires.

In addition to the four hills, there is also a large mountain high and somewhat covered by clouds. To Jing Mi and her fellow students, the huge mountain was like the mother of the four hills they had seen.

Hill 4 Elders. That was the name for the four hills seen by Jing Mi and her siblings. Each of the hills was the residence of the Patriarch of the Sky Sword Sect.

The first hill was named Bukit Peaches Bulan. It was the residence of the Second Patriarch of the Sky Sword Sect, Lan Xu Jian.

The three-colored hill is called Bukit Snow Without Seasons. It was the residence of the First Patriarch of the Sky Sword Sect, Yu Changhai.

The next hill was named the River of Tranquility Hill, inhabited by the only female Patriarch of the Heaven Sword Sect, the Fourth Patriarch, Ming Mei.

While the last hill was named the Hill of Knowledge, it was occupied by the Fifth Patriarch of the Sky Sword Sect, Bai Wu Dang.

The Sky Sword Sect had the most spacious place in Star Sky City, a seven-meter-high white wall surrounded this sect.

Inside, there is a nine-story pagoda and has different colors on each floor. It was on the ninth floor that the Grand Elder of the Sky Sword Sect stayed.

As it was known, the Sky Sword Sect had five Patriarchs. However, only four patriarchs were often seen and greeted the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect.

The disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect, too, often considered that in fact they only had four patriarchs, according to the number of hills present.

All of this was because the Third Patriarch of the Sky Sword Sect very rarely showed himself. And not many of them knew what the Third Patriarch looked like.

Even Patriarch Lan alone, only once came face to face with the Third Patriarch. That too, was only a few breaths until the Third Patriarch covered his face back with a cloth like wearing a veil.

Patriarch Lan, Huan Fei and their disciples slowly descended, right in front of the gate of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

While flying earlier, Jing Mi and her siblings thought that the Sky Sword Sect was so small. Unexpectedly, this sect was much bigger even very big when compared to the Lotus Flower Sect.

"He-hebaat!!"

Jing Mi, Bao Yu and Hou Yong were seen exclaiming with sparkling eyes. Several times Jing Mi clucked in admiration, she naturally did not forget to greet the walls of the Heaven Sword Sect while wiping, hugging, and kissing him.

"What is Brother Jing doing?" Hai Feng was confused when he saw his brother's behavior which he thought was strange.

"I think that's the way people get acquainted outside our village.." Hou Yong rubbed his chin, his words made his fellow students except for Qi Xuan, Xiao Lu and Xiao Shuxiang nod with joy.

They simultaneously hugged and greeted the walls of the Sky Sword Sect following Jing Mi. Qi Xuan and Xiao Lu seemed to be unable to say anything when they saw the ridiculous behavior of these fellow students.

"Hm... Shu'Er, what are your students doing?" Huan Fei could not help his curiosity.

"It's a shame I don't know. Even I feel that these students of mine have strange behavior."

Patriarch Lan and Huan Fei's disciples were seen shaking their heads, they felt that these children had never seen a wall before.

"Ck ck ck, pity..."

Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his face, "I have indeed seen brother Jing behave like this. However, it was unexpected that Hou Yong and the other Butterfly Sect children followed what brother Jing did."

Patriarch Lan then invited Yang Shu and Huan Fei, as well as their disciples to enter. Only, Huan Fei said that he should immediately return to the Lotus Flower Sect.

"I've been gone too long. After all, Gu Ta Sian must be waiting for Lu'Er to return.."

!!

Jing Mi, Hou Yong and his friends gasped upon hearing that Huan Fei was about to leave. Especially when they heard that this Grand Elder of the Lotus Flower Sect was going to bring their fellow students, Xiao Lu and Qi Xuan.

Immediately, the eight disciples of the Butterfly Sect ran over and hugged Qi Xuan and Xiao Lu.

"Brother Xuan...!"

"My brother...!"

"You should listen to Jing Mi, now Jing Mi is the oldest sister among you..." Qi Xuan stroked his brother's head in turn.

Xiao Lu also advised Yi Wen to help Jing Mi look after their brothers, "I entrust everything to you,"

Huan Fei was also seen bidding farewell to Yang Shu and Patriarch Lan. He ordered that Patriarch Lan take good care of Yang Shu.

Yang Shu patted his shoulder slowly and said that he was not a child that needed to be guarded by a grown man.

"You too, take good care of yourself. I leave Xuan'Er to you..."

Huan Fei nodded, "I will definitely educate and take good care of Qi Xuan."

After quite a long hug, Huan Fei started to take off Yang Shu and took Qi Xuan and Xiao Lu along.

Huan Fei and his students flew back with Qi Xuan and Xiao Lu with them. Jing Mi, Hou Yong and their fellow students waved at Qi Xuan and Xiao Lu.

After Huan Fei and his disciples were out of sight, Patriarch Lan began to invite Yang Shu and his disciples in.

Patriarch Lan touched slowly the gate of the Heavenly Sword Sect, instantly a white line began to form the symbol of a pair of wings. This was a seal that made the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect unable to get out through the gate.

When the gates opened, they were like they were inside a room, there was still a door that closed a little far in front of them.

"Patriarch Lan..!"

A disciple of the Sky Sword Sect was seen walking over to them, he paid his respects to Patriarch Lan as well as Yang Shu.

"Patriarch Lan? These guys...?"

In fact he was quite surprised, because this Patriarch of his had come bearing a great many children. Though the opening of 'Ethics Training' there are still five days left.

Patriarch Lan knew what one of these disciples was thinking. The Heaven Sword Sect was not only a place to practice cultivation and swordsmanship, but also a place of 'Ethics Training'.

There was a day where some small, medium and large sects sent their disciples to study in the Sky Sword Sect, not least some of the Black Stream sects.

So far, only the Sky Sword Sect has been able to mediate between the White Stream and the Black Stream.

Patriarch Lan, "They are my special guests."

Patriarch Lan's disciple quite understood, he was actually a bit shocked because it was only the first time he saw Patriarch Lan being able to smile like that.

"Then, please..!"

Patriarch Lan's disciple allowed Yang Shu and his disciples to start walking to the next door. Near the door, there were already two disciples on duty to remove the seal so that Patriarch Lan and his guests could pass by.

The door opened, along with a cold wind that blew and hit Jing Mi as well as her brothers.

Every street that Jing Mi was walking on was made of white-colored jade, she could even see artificial river saplings and some plum trees.

Jing Mi and Hou Yong's gaze now led to a large stone, similar to a story stone. There is a white writing and will be shiny when exposed to sunlight.

This stone caught the attention of Jing Mi and her brothers, including Xiao Shuxiang. Merely, when compared to the disciples of the Butterfly Sect who knew nothing, Xiao Shuxiang was clearly more knowledgeable about the boulder.

Xiao Shuxiang's body had already heavily stepped on when he entered the gate of the Sky Sword Sect, and now he was faced with something he deeply disliked.

Jing Mi and her fellow students including Yang Shu started to read the writing on the big stone in front of them a little.

Just the first line, it had already been discovered that the inscription on this stone was the obligatory Rules and had to be obeyed by the people who set foot in the Sky Sword Sect.

Tian Ri said, "There are five thousand rules in this sect that should not be broken. You must read and obey everything,"

Xiao Shuxiang flinched upon learning that now the rules of the Heaven Sword Sect were increasing.

"Li-five thousand? The last time I came was only three thousand...! Haah, of all sects. This is the most annoying sect ever!!"

Patriarch Lan then invited Yang Shu and his disciples to visit a place of Mental Strengthening and Heart Demon Cleansing. This was the first thing to do before actually becoming part of the Sky Sword Sect.
