Embers of Sword

Chapter 421 Senior Brother
It is undeniable that the [Dao Furnace] is of extremely high quality among many treasures.

In terms of wisdom alone, Daojiu's level of spiritual enlightenment is also among the top three.

But in the entire Tonglu Mountain, there is not a single spirit of any treasure weapon that likes to talk to Daojiu.

Lu Yuzhen put his hands behind his back, his eyes passed through the white paper and fell into the pale woman in the pool: "You don't like Chu Man?"

"……like?"

Dao Jiu frowned.

"Or so to speak."

Lu Yuzhen thought about it and asked, "Are you dissatisfied with her becoming your life weapon master?"

"No."

Dao Jiu shook his head and said calmly: "I don't care who becomes the owner of this weapon."

"Then you shouldn't wish her dead."

Lu Yuzhen sighed and said, "Think carefully about what I said to you at the beginning. If you want to be a 'human', you must learn to be a 'human'."

"What did I say wrong?"

Dao Jiu was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"That's all."

Lu Yuzhen flicked his sleeves and said helplessly: "After all, it was me who brought you out of Beihailing... You will slowly understand these principles in the future."

"..."

Dao Jiu lowered his eyes and responded softly.

He thought for a moment and said, "So, is Chu Man okay now?"

Hearing this, Lu Yuzhen's expression finally softened a little.

"She had 'died' once before in Beihai Mausoleum. This body is too fragile after all. Before she can cultivate into a Yin Spirit, she can't withstand too much torment."

Taoist Master Lu looked at the woman in the pool and said, "If Taoist Qianyuan chopped off her head this time, she would most likely die..."

Dao Jiu held his breath.

"Don't worry, she will be fine after resting in the [Longevity Pond] for a while."

Lu Yuzhen narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "You will stay on this 'Pure White Mountain' for the next few days... The demon-slaying campaign is about to begin, and the forging of the mountain gate is still a little short of perfection, so it's just right for you to help."

"Is this the next mission?"

Dao Jiu raised his eyebrows.

"That's it."

Lu Yuzhen smiled and said, "This time, Taoist Qianyuan's head is actually prepared for you. After the [Chenglu] digests it, your range of activities will be larger, and you can move freely within a radius of ten miles... When all the chaos is settled, your body will be completely formed. At that time, you will truly cultivate the treasure into a human body and can stand upright under the blue sky and broad daylight."

……

……

"Crack!"

The flames burned, emitting faint sparks.

The conversation at the Sword Qi Stele had ended for some time.

Xie Xuanyi did not leave.

He sat in the heavy snow to protect Jiang Miaoyin and make sure the snow goblin's spiritual thoughts would not attack.

Jiang Miaoyin sat in front of the stone tablet, her heart in turmoil.

Her spiritual thoughts swept into the stone tablet, but she was unable to enter the Tao.

The divine consciousness that had been able to integrate into the "Way of Peace" very easily could not be calmed down at this moment.

If it weren't for the slight tremor from her chronic illness telling her that the person next to her was Xie Xuanyi, she would even doubt whether this meeting today was just a dream.

The two of them sat in silence for half an hour.

Xie Xuanyi could feel that Jiang Miaoyin was taking a long time to get into the mood.

The natal flying swords that the two of them had refined were a pair of swords connected by the same root, their sword thoughts were connected, and their sword hearts resonated...

Even if we put aside the relationship between the deep-rooted illness.

Xie Xuanyi and Jiang Miaoyin are also childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

Just a glimpse.

Xie Xuanyi immediately sensed that something was wrong with Jiang Miaoyin.

"Subdue the monkey in your heart and control the horse in your mind."

Xie Xuanyi looked at it for a moment and couldn't help but remind him: "Use your thoughts to enter the stele, and use your spirit to enter the Tao."

This sound contains the power of the soul and should have played a supporting role.

But after hearing this, Jiang Miaoyin completely gave up on meditation.

She slowly released her hand that was pressing on the stone tablet, opened her eyes, and looked at the young man in black in front of her with a complicated expression.

"What's going on here……"

Xie Xuanyi looked confused: "Is it because of the snow goblin before? Why can't you enter the state of meditation?" "Brother."

Jiang Miaoyin sighed and said, "You came to me just to say this?"

Xie Xuanyi was stunned.

"Please don't misunderstand me... The arrangements regarding the 'Sword Palace Tribulation' are very important."

Jiang Miaoyin took a deep breath and said, "I mean, apart from these, you have nothing else to say?"

"..."

Xie Xuanyi fell silent.

He looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I can't enter meditation, not because of the Snow Mandrill, but because of my brother."

Jiang Miaoyin lowered her eyelids, took off her veil and placed it on her knees. Her black hair and white clothes fluttered in the wind. The falling snow fell on her skin, making her skin even more dazzling than the white snow.

She looked at the boy in front of her.

If it is possible.

Instead, she hoped that the person in front of her at this moment was not the real "Xie Xuanyi", but an illusion created by the Snow Goblin.

She hoped that [chronic illness] had no tremors.

She hoped that today's meeting was just a dream.

"because I?"

The moment she opened her mouth, Xie Xuanyi actually guessed what Jiang Miaoyin was going to say.

"I like Senior Brother!"

Jiang Miaoyin looked straight into the eyes of the young man in front of her.

The senior brother lived a second life and became younger, but his appearance remained unchanged, consistent with the vigorous appearance in his memory.

The wind and snow were blowing.

Every falling ice crystal reflects Jiang Miaoyin's face at this moment.

The years change.

Xie Xuanyi did not change.

But she has changed.

She is no longer the girl from the Jiang family in Qingzhou who followed behind foolishly, nor is she the little sister who only wanted to hold the sword for her senior brother.

She is now the master of Yuping Peak.

She is no longer young.

There are some words that I have been brewing for many years when I was young, but have never said them out loud. Now I finally have the chance.

Back then, how many people said that they were a perfect match made in heaven?

To outsiders, these words don't need to be spoken.

Jiang Miaoyin also thinks so.

But later she regretted it.

If I had not flinched back then and had taken that step on my own initiative, even if there was no result, it would still be better than the ending where everything was drowned by the waves of the North Sea...

The wind and snow howled.

Jiang Miaoyin's voice echoed throughout the mountains.

After saying this.

Jiang Miaoyin felt a lot more relaxed, and the depression that had accumulated in her chest for many years seemed to have dissipated a lot.

Without waiting for Xie Xuanyi to say anything, Jiang Miaoyin spoke again.

"Miaoyin already knew that Senior Brother doesn't like Miaoyin."

The woman in white raised her head and looked at the heavy snow falling from the sky.

Xie Xuanyi doesn't like Jiang Miaoyin. If these words were spread outside, they would definitely cause a huge uproar.

Who would believe it?

But it is what it is.

Only those who truly understand Xie Xuanyi will know.

There is only kendo in his heart, no women.

Jiang Miaoyin smiled and said softly, "Miaoyin knows that Senior Brother only has the sword in his heart, not love... So I said these words today not to get a response from Senior Brother, but I have been holding these words in my heart for a long time. I am afraid that if I don't say it this time, I will not have the courage to say it next time we meet."

"Senior Brother Xuanyi..."

She spoke again, sincerely: "Miaoyin really likes you. I really like you, really like you."

……
