Eternal Sword

Chapter 503 Agreement
Ye Yushi brought Chen Tang to a quiet valley, which was some distance away from where other disciples lived and was relatively quiet.

Surrounded by lush trees, a simple cottage sits on the hillside, seemingly isolated from the world, with only a winding path connecting it to the outside world.

Chen Tang looked around and said with a smile: "You are treated quite well, living in a single room, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with such good greenery."

Ye Yushi was not surprised to hear such strange words as single room and green space, and he could probably understand them.

After all, I have known Chen Tang for a long time and have been together for more than half a year, so I have long been accustomed to it.

Sometimes, this person would utter some strange words, and occasionally he would howl at the top of his lungs, as if he was singing a tune, but the tune was also very strange.

When they came back from Tianhu Island, on the merchant ship, he stood on the bow that day, looking at the vast ocean, and howled so suddenly that her flute was disrupted.

However, after listening for a while, I found that the tune was quite beautiful, the lyrics were full of passion and grandeur, and there was a hint of desolation and loneliness at the end.

Ye Yushi said: "I don't like crowds. I grew up with my master and have lived here since I was a child."

This house is built with rocks and wood, and the roof is covered with green tiles, making it look particularly simple and natural.

There are a few orchids planted in front of the door. They don’t compete for beauty, but just quietly bloom with a faint fragrance.

A clear stream flows past the house, and the sound of gurgling water adds a bit of liveliness and vitality to this quiet place.

After entering the house, Chen Tang took a quick look.

The layout of the house is even simpler, without too much decoration, and only some necessary daily necessities.

Ye Yushi asked Chen Tang to sit down first, and went to the stream to fetch some clear and transparent stream water. He poured two cups for Chen Tang and said, "I don't have any tea leaves here, only valley stream water."

Chen Tang smiled and said, "The fresh rain in the empty mountain and the clear spring on the stone are a hundred times better than tea."

After Ye Yushi sat down, he stared at Chen Tang without blinking, without saying a word.

Chen Tang looked back.

Even though I've known her for a long time, I still feel amazed every time I see her.

The two of them just stared at each other for a long time, no one spoke, and the atmosphere became a little strange.

Chen Tang's heart couldn't help but beat faster as he had never seen Ye Yushi so proactive.

There's no one else here.

The two of them were alone together, but after all, they were in Bashan Sword Sect, so it was a bit exciting...

"Ugh."

Just as Chen Tang was daydreaming, Ye Yushi's light sigh broke the silence.

"You're not dead."

"Ok?"

Chen Tang stared at Ye Yushi.

What is this word?

My body, which had just felt a little hot, instantly cooled down.

Chen Tang asked, "Why do you sound like you're hoping I'll die?"

"I thought you were dead."

Ye Yushi said: "So, I planned to use you to sharpen my swordsmanship, but I didn't expect that you would come back alive..."

"Use my death to sharpen your swordsmanship?" Chen Tang was surprised.

Ye Yushi nodded and said, "After you die, from now on, I will no longer be moved by love, and will concentrate on swordsmanship, so as to achieve the realm of 'Sword Heart Clear' as soon as possible."

"The sword's heart is clear?"

Chen Tang murmured softly.

"When the sword's heart is clear, there is nothing else but the sword."

Ye Yushi spoke calmly, but he looked at Chen Tang deeply and said, "But now, besides giving up the sword, I have another bond. My sword heart is in chaos and there are flaws."

Chen Tang was stunned.

The two had been together day and night for half a year, and although they were interested in each other, Ye Yushi had never truly expressed his feelings.

Sometimes, I even avoided it intentionally.

I didn't expect that when we met again this time, Ye Yushi would speak so frankly, a complete change from the past.

"Yu Shi, you are a little obsessed." Chen Tang said with a smile: "In fact, it is not necessary to use this method to sharpen the sword heart."

"Is there any other way?"

Ye Yushi asked.

Chen Tang thought of the theory in the book of his previous life. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he began to persuade him, "To have nothing else besides the sword is certainly a state of mind. But I have heard of a sword master who used the sword to break the void, which was another state of mind."

"Only one who can excel with love can be extremely powerful with the sword!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yushi was shocked and fell into deep thought.

Chen Tang laughed secretly in his heart.

These words were of a very high standard. Not to mention her, even a grandmaster would have to think about them after hearing them.

“Is Shattered Void real?”

After a moment, Ye Yushi suddenly asked.

"what?"

Chen Tang was stunned for a moment, and didn't react. He subconsciously said, "It should... be true."

He originally wanted to persuade Ye Yu that love and swordsmanship are not in conflict, and even deep love can sharpen one's swordsmanship.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yushi thought for a long time and focused on breaking the void.

Ye Yushi seemed to have thought of something, his eyes became brighter, and he said, "Chen Tang, let's make a promise."

"what??"

Chen Tang became more and more confused.

How could his words make Ye Yushi's thoughts so jumpy?

Ye Yushi stood up, stood in front of the window, looked into the distance, and said slowly: "Life is only a hundred years, even if you are a great master, you can't escape the law of life and death."

Although the Grandmaster of the Transformation Realm is extremely powerful, his lifespan seems to be only over a hundred years old.

Ye Yushi continued, "Even if we are deeply in love, it will only last a hundred years. If one day, we can break through the void and see the path to immortality, we can truly stay together forever."

Chen Tang asked: "So?"

Ye Yushi looked at the confused Chen Tang and said with a smile: "So, our agreement is to meet on the Longevity Avenue after the void is broken in a hundred years!"

"..."

Chen Tang's eyes darkened, and he couldn't help but complain: "I've heard of three-year and ten-year agreements, but you made a hundred-year agreement, which is directly until the next life."

Even if the two of them are gifted and can cultivate to the level of a grandmaster, half of their bodies will be buried in the ground after a hundred years.

As for breaking the void and the path to immortality, that is just a legend after all.

Chen Tang asked: "What about the next hundred years?"

"up to you."

Ye Yushi smiled slightly and said, "As long as you remember, a hundred years later, someone will be waiting for you on the longevity road after the void is broken."

This agreement is too vague and contains too many uncertainties.

Chen Tang still had a lot of things he wanted to complain about, but at this moment, he suddenly couldn't say them.

He noticed that when Ye Yushi said this, his eyes were firm and his cheeks seemed to be glowing.

Love, power, and wealth in the world are ultimately just trivial matters.

It is impossible to forge the sword heart of Ye Yushi.

Although Chen Tang just said casually that the void was broken, it seemed that Ye Yushi saw another world and developed an unshakable and indestructible sword heart!
The flaw in her sword heart had just been repaired silently.

At the same time, Chen Tang also understood the other meaning of this agreement.

Ye Yushi disdains to compete with others.

No matter how many women are around Chen Tang, they will all be old after a hundred years.

If the void is really broken, on the road to immortality, there will be only two people accompanying each other, walking hand in hand.
