Chapter 799: Chapter 797 Entering Sword Tianshan_1 Chapter 799: Chapter 797 Entering Sword Tianshan_1 Xu Fan hung up the phone and went back inside to find Tongtong had already woken up.
Xu Yixue was sitting beside the bed, playing with Tongtong.
When Tongtong saw daddy, he climbed up from the bed and ran towards Xu Fan with his little short legs.
Xu Fan smiled, crouched down, and picked Tongtong up into his arms, lifting him high and said, “Did Tongtong just wake up?”
Tongtong said in a babyish voice, “When Tongtong opened his eyes and daddy wasn’t there, Tongtong couldn’t sleep anymore.”
Xu Fan touched Tongtong’s little nose and said, “Then Tongtong can play with mommy for a while.
Daddy has some things to do, but when I come back, I’ll play with Tongtong.”
Tongtong immediately began to squirm restlessly in Xu Fan’s arms.
“No, Tongtong wants to go out and play with daddy too.”
“Daddy will return by noon and have lunch with Tongtong, okay?”
“No, no, daddy lied to Tongtong last time, it took so long to come back,” his little hand gesturing a very long distance.
Tickled by Tongtong, Xu Fan laughed and said, “Be a good boy, Tongtong.
...
Wait at home nicely for daddy to come back.”
Tongtong hugged Xu Fan’s neck tightly, using his trump card—pouting and pretending to cry.
Xu Fan looked at his bright little eyes, understanding everything.
He indulgently planted a kiss on his little face.
“Alright then, who could resist when our Tongtong is the cutest little friend in the world!”
“Yay!”
Tongtong’s aggrieved expression collapsed in a second.
Pudgy little hands triumphantly made a V-sign.
Xu Fan then turned to look at Xu Yixue and gently said, “Wife, get ready, let’s all go out and have fun.”
Xu Yixue giggled nonstop.
He really was the typical doting father; “Mhm.”
An hour later.
A black George Barton appeared at the entrance of the Xu Family home, and Shen Jianting got out of the car and respectfully opened the door for them.
Leaving Shenzhen City, headed west.
After another hour or so, they left the freeway and turned onto a small fork in the road.
The road was narrow, allowing at most two cars to pass simultaneously, and there were no houses around, which made it feel a bit desolate.
On either side were somewhat yellowed ears of rice.
Fluttering in the wind.
Half an hour later, amidst the endless wheat fields, a small village finally appeared.
On a concrete sign, it read: Jiantian Village.
The village was not large, looking to have two or three hundred households, but all were quite prosperous, each with its own independent little western-style building.
Almost every household had a private car worth two or three hundred thousand, and occasionally there were luxury vehicles worth a million or more.
Several ancient trees stood around, under which many men and women, young and old, played cards, played chess, and chatted, all looking energetic and healthy.
There were also a few people in their seventies or eighties who were quick on their feet and in robust health.
Xu Fan also noticed something interesting: basically, everyone in the village had a martial arts foundation, and although their realms weren’t high, most were at the early stages of strength building.
Yet it was clear that they were all trained, and their moves were disciplined.
The whole village, from a young age, had been trained in martial arts.
“Beep beep!”
Shen Jianting was well acquainted with everyone in the village, slowing the car down to greet them.
The villagers recognized his car from long away and stood by the side to greet him, moving things out of the way so he could pass smoothly.
Tongtong’s little head leaned against the car window, greeting them in a babyish voice, waving his tiny paw.
Xu Fan smiled and asked, “This village has a close relationship with your Sect, doesn’t it?”
Sword Heaven Sect and Jiantian Village sounded similar.
Shen Jianting nodded slowly and said, “Yes, our Sword Heaven Sect is not really a sect in the true sense of the term, since most of us are bound together by bloodline, making us half family and half sect.
More than half of the people in the sect share the surname Shen.”
“Most of the villagers in Jiantian Village also have the surname Shen.
If you look back two generations, you’ll find they are relatives too, all family of the sect.”
“Our sect is located deep in the mountains.
Those without martial arts talent settled here, became self-sufficient, and slowly the scale of the settlement grew.
The daily necessities of the sect are also provided by them, and in turn, the sect offers them protection.
It’s a symbiotic relationship.”
Speaking, he shook his head with a sigh and continued, “However, now most of the children in the village no longer know about the Sword Heaven Sect.”
Xu Fan nodded his head.
He wasn’t surprised, as this was a common occurrence in the Cultivation World.
The villages outside the sects were usually related in some way.
In the blink of an eye, George Barton had already driven out of the village.
The road ahead was challenging, to say the least; it wasn’t just rough and uneven, it was downright pockmarked.
It was all thanks to George Barton.
If any other private car had come this way, it would have stalled out after just a few meters.
Shen Jianting drove skillfully, and George Barton’s performance was also undeniable.
He tried to drive as steadily as possible throughout the journey.
The two adults, Xu Fan and Xu Yixue, were fine.
But little Tongtong bumped her head several times.
Xu Fan tenderly embraced Tongtong in his arms.
Shen Jianting apologized with an embarrassed tone.
Fortunately, though, this bumpy part of the road was not too long.
As soon as they passed the worst part, Xu Fan already sensed two strong presences, both at the Grandmaster level, concealed on either side of the road.
They must be the guards of the Sword Heaven Sect.
Seeing that it was Shen Jianting’s car, they did not stop them.
They allowed passage without any blockage.
And then…
the road got even worse.
Xu Fan’s lips were pressed tight as he stared at the back of Shen Jianting’s head, puzzled as to how the Sword Heaven Sect, which was not a small player by any means, could be like this…?
Had they never heard the saying, “To get rich, build roads first”?
Just as Tongtong was feeling so uncomfortable she might vomit, they finally arrived.
The towering sect gate stood ten meters high and wide, with a large wooden sign hanging in the center, elegantly inscribed with the words—Sword Heaven Sect!
On either side of the gate stood three stone statues of different shapes, all imposing and majestic.
Though they were just statues, they radiated Sword Qi.
Anyone with talent who contemplated them closely would surely improve.
Xu Fan squinted slightly.
The person who built these six statues had a profound understanding of the Sword Dao.
“Once we go through, we’ll be in the sect,” Shen Jianting said with a pleasing smile.
He knew that Tongtong, the little princess, had been inconvenienced by the journey.
As soon as he finished speaking, George Barton had already driven through.
The space seemed to twist slightly before returning to normal.
If someone had been watching from behind, they would have been amazed to see the ripples that had just spread.
The scenery before them changed as well.
The air around them suddenly became richer; breathing in felt revitalizing.
Ancient trees, lush and towering for hundreds of years, flanked both sides of the road.
So thick and tall, it would take three or four men to encircle them.
Between the mountains, mists meandered, and huge mountain ranges seemed to reach for the sky.
A few flickering Sword Qi lights shimmered within the mist, a sign that someone was practicing their swordsmanship.
Who could have imagined that just beyond the gate, the view would completely transform?
Tongtong and Xu Yixue both stared curiously out the window, as if they were in a fairyland.
What do you think?
