The Wrong Way to a Demon Sect Leader

Chapter 25

The Haoran Alliance's seniors told him, if you come across the Demon Sect Leader in the middle of the night, you should speak with him about poetry and lyrics about love affairs,* going one step further to holding the other's fragile heart, making him open his soul together with yours, after waiting to know the other's weakness, then success isn't far off.

Zhao Jiangui certainly isn't some cultured person, he doesn't understand poetry, lyrics, and prose, he's also unable to discuss love affairs, he only has the three chi of Qingfeng** in his hand, also only able to talk about that three chi Qingfeng.

He is always able to always speak well, say proverbs well, he can reach the same goal through other means, finally putting together how to arrive at that step.

Zhao Jiangui decides in this way.

He steps a little closer, opens his mouth to speak to Ji Han, "You... How old were you when you started sword training?"

Ji Han coldly looks at him, not replying at all.

Zhao Jiangui forces himself to carry on speaking to him, "By the time I fell to the ground and could walk, I had already begun holding a sword, until now I have yet around twenty-six or seven years."

Ji Han doesn't speak.

Zhao Jiangui says, "You're younger than me, your achievements in swordsmanship aren't less than mine at all, your sword's path is quick, swift, and fierce, focused on surrender, and you're already regarded as one of the very best masters in Jianghu."

Ji Han at long last coldly opens his mouth, "What exactly did you want to talk about."

Zhao Jiangui says, "To talk about your weakness."

Ji Han, "My weakness?"

Zhao Jiangui nods his head.

In fact he didn't understand what the seniors had said at all.

If he knows a weakness then he can succeed, at the time he first glimpsed Ji Han using a sword he had already seen his weakness, but until now Ji Han's appearance still refused to acknowledge his building love.

Ji Han's interest has obviously been stirred up, he straightens up in his seat slightly, signaling Zhao Jiangui to carry on speaking.

Zhao Jiangui says, "Your sword is like a powerful gamble, but one sword is inefficient, convenient when there is no retreat."

Ji Han says, "My hand has never lost."

Zhao Jiangui speaks, "But I could control avoiding your best sword at least eighty percent."

Ji Han wrinkles his brow, carefully ponders these words Zhao Jiangui has said.

Zhao Jiangui continues, "If you are able to leave yourself a way to escape, making the path of the sword a little safer, then being some number one swordsman under heaven isn't a difficult matter at all."

Ji Han hesitates, "You're saying I can beat you?"

Zhao Jiangui, "Presumably with time, your swordsmanship will certainly be better than mine."

These words he says with utmost sincerity.

At Ji Han's this age, he really didn't have as much sword skill, moreover he can see that Ji Han is able to bear hardships, but he is consistently a modest person, seeing a youth with these kinds of prospects, he also feels very glad.

Ji Han gazes at him, it seems a bright lamp has been lit in his eyes.

Having found Ji Han's weakness, Zhao Jiangui already doesn't know what more he can still say.

He forces himself to shut up, stands at one side.

Ji Han suddenly asks, "You can't sleep?"

His expression has already recovered to be like it was before, even his tone is ice-cold again.

Zhao Jiangui in his heart secretly curses finding the weakness as absolutely useless, simultaneously answering dimly, "Yes."

Ji Han says, "You want to talk with me?"

Zhao Jiangui says, "Yes."

Ji Han, "Sit down."

Zhao Jiangui is a little at a loss, "What?"

Ji Han hums coldly, says, "I don't like talking with people who are standing."

Zhao Jiangui, "..."

He...succeeded going out one step?

Sorry! Seniors! I had wrongly blamed you!

*风花雪月 (fēnghuā-xuěyuè), literally wind, flowers, snow, and moon, an idiom for trite poetry language, but also means romance in the air or love affairs

**青锋 (qīngfēng), I am leaving it as Qingfeng because it's the same as Zhao's name in the drama and I think it might be the sword's name? I'm uncertain here. When I've tried looking it up, I find "green mountain peak."
