Borrowing a sword

Chapter 32 Apologize to Me
Half an hour later, Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang got up to take their leave.

Niu Yuanshan politely escorted him all the way to the entrance of the courtyard.

His actions drew the attention of several servants in the courtyard, who couldn't understand why these two disciples deserved such attention from the master.

After seeing the two off, Old Niu picked up the jar of Erlang wine on the table and went back to his room by himself.

The man with thick eyebrows and a square face changed his expression after entering the room.

"How did Chu Huaixu manage to open two orifices?" He couldn't figure it out.

As the "golden face" of the organization, and having previously been in charge of recruiting new members, he had seen this kid's information.

"He is clearly a false spirit fetus."

"Moreover, all nine of his congenital orifices are blocked!"

This situation violates common sense in the spiritual practice community.

It's hard not to be shocked!
"Could it be that he is one of those legendary beings whose spiritual embryos are obscured, making people mistakenly believe he is a false spiritual embryo because his spiritual embryo is not manifest?"

"Will things be different once the cultivation officially begins?"

As a veteran member of the organization, his curiosity about this newcomer grew stronger.

I even had a thought of taking a drop of his blood to examine the condition of his spiritual embryo.

After a few seconds, Niu Yuanshan's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Then, he raised his hand and slapped himself hard, so hard that his face was twisted.

He even used spiritual power when he was fanning himself.

"Snapped--!"

"How many times has this happened? How many times has this happened already?"

"Niu Yuanshan, Niu Yuanshan, you never learn your lesson!"

"How can you always make this mistake!"

The third precept: One should not have excessive prying thoughts about those who share the same path.

On the other side, after saying goodbye to the old ox, Chu Huaixu glanced at the azure sky.

During that half hour, based on his experience as a veteran player, he continued to try to accept quests and strike up conversations.

The task system still did not respond.

"Borrowing Swords" is a game with a very high degree of freedom, so there's no reason why it shouldn't allow him to be a double agent.

Therefore, a seed of doubt was planted in his heart.

On the way home, Han Shuangjiang suddenly called out to Chu Huaixu.

The cold-faced girl's eyes darted around slightly as she said, "Um... thank you for today."

Clearly, this iceberg isn't even good at saying thank you.

Chu Huaixu made a joke: "First of all, I am not 'that'."

Seeing the confusion in the other person's eyes, he also began to feel that he was incredibly boring.

"You're welcome, it's nothing, and besides, the ending was good, wasn't it?" He smiled at her.

Han Shuangjiang also felt fortunate about this.

If Chu Huaixu were to have an accident because of her, she, being a kind-hearted person, would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

After thinking for a moment, she took out the jade pendant fragment from her storage token.

"Here, take this. I don't think I should take it," Han Shuangjiang said.

Chu Huaixu glanced at her and suddenly felt that this protagonist of the world seemed to like to calculate things very clearly.

Previously, he said he was going home and asked her to ask Lao Niu for help, but she refused.

Now, they are even going to give him the jade fragments they have acquired.

“I already have one, it won’t do me any good if you give me more, I don’t need two ‘keys’,” Chu Huaixu said.

“You can exchange it for [Sect Contribution Points].” Han Shuangjiang said with a serious and persistent expression.

It would be a miracle if Chu Huaixu wanted to attend!

It should be noted that there are 10 jade pendant fragments in total, meaning Liu Tianfeng still has 8 fragments left.

At that time, the other side will have 8 people in the dungeon, while we will only have 2 people.

Therefore, although the three Liu brothers were heartbroken, they still felt that the advantage was in their hands!
But Chu Huaixu knew perfectly well that the iceberg standing in front of him was the protagonist of the world, the chosen one who had taken over the remaining two Dao Ancestor inheritances!
"I feel more confident when you run dungeons with me." That's what he was really thinking.

So he frowned again, and said in an unhappy and somewhat fierce tone, "I told you to put it away, so put it away!"

Han Shuangjiang's rosy lips, hidden beneath her veil, couldn't help but purse slightly again.

Chu Huaixu looked at her and said, "This was obtained for us by Steward Niu. He has already distributed it, one piece for each person. Instead of giving it to me here, you should help me more after we enter the secret realm." The cold-faced girl hesitated for a moment, then had no choice but to give up and said softly, "Okay."

The two chatted as they walked.

After this battle, their relationship seemed to have grown closer.

Even the usually reserved and aloof girl rarely opened up, saying:

"I didn't expect that the Taoist sect would have a senior like Deacon Liu. I thought that all the seniors in the Taoist sect were like Deacon Niu."

Chu Huaixu was amused by this.

"If everyone's like this, won't the Daoist sect be finished? What, are they all spies, from the sect leader to the stewards?" he muttered to himself.

Chu Huaixu glanced at Han Shuangjiang and said, "That's normal. There are always bad apples everywhere. Besides, human nature is ultimately complex."

"Every human being has selfish desires."

“Let me tell you, the guy who came to arrest me, Liu Chenggong, seems to be a bit of a jerk. I managed to get a lot of information out of him along the way.”

"Our Steward Liu, many years ago, before he was promoted to steward, led a group of outer disciples down the mountain with his wife on a mission, and then he encountered trouble."

"His wife died on the spot, and he was also seriously injured. His cultivation never improved after that, but all the outer disciples were unharmed and were well protected by him."

"He might have been corrupted by power, or his son might be his Achilles' heel. Who knows?" Chu Huaixu shrugged.

Upon hearing this, Han Shuangjiang fell even more silent.

Chu Huaixu looked at her and said, "It's alright. Since they wanted to attack us, you see I didn't let them get away with it, right?"

The cold-faced girl turned to look at him and said seriously, "I really didn't expect you to suddenly strike at the end."

As a result, he became arrogant and grinned crookedly, saying, "How about that, cocky, huh?"

Han Shuangjiang: "."

She didn't speak, but the man just stared at her, so she had no choice but to nod slightly.

"Right, being arrogant is the way to go!" Chu Huaixu chuckled.

The more arrogant they are, the more unfathomable their background seems!
He continued, "Do you know why there's a saying 'bullying the weak and fearing the strong,' and why there's a saying 'flattering superiors and bullying inferiors'?"

"Because those who bully the weak are often afraid of the strong, and those who bully the inferiors are often obsequious to the superiors."

"How about we make a bet? Believe me or not, even after I've struck like this, they'll still come knocking on our door tomorrow with generous gifts," Chu Huaixu said.

Han Shuangjiang asked, "But didn't they already give us the key to the secret realm?"

"This is an apology, and it was obtained by Steward Niu." Chu Huaixu waved his hand.

"In the beginning, didn't he say that he would prepare generous gifts and pay a visit tomorrow? Since he has already said it, he has to do it. He can't just turn the page after giving the Pill King's token."

"After all, he can't be sure if we listened to what he said earlier. What if we did?"

Deacon Liu is a seasoned veteran; he certainly has some experience in handling interpersonal relationships.

"Moreover, an apology is an apology, and making friends is making friends."

Chu Huaixu looked at her and continued to ask, "Anyway, are we going to gamble or not?"

"No gambling." Han Shuangjiang shook her head repeatedly and quickened her pace.

She always felt that she was far inferior to him in many ways, so she didn't want him!

"Let's make a bet! I haven't even said what we're betting on yet, don't refuse first." Chu Huaixu thought she was such a spoilsport; this woman was so boring.

"No gambling, no gambling." Han Shuangjiang said coldly, her long legs carrying her even faster.

Don't listen, don't listen, the bastard chants sutras.

No matter what Chu Huaixu said, Han Shuangjiang refused to make the bet.

After returning home, the two went back to their respective bamboo houses.

Chu Huaixu sat cross-legged on the futon and began to regulate his breathing.

This was a very fruitful day; I gained 1000 experience points, which is enough to level up again, and several times over.

"With Han Shuangjiang's incredible cultivation speed, if I didn't have some experience points, I would have been left far behind by her immediately."

"Moreover, after this battle, she probably feels a sense of urgency and is even more eager to become stronger, so her cultivation speed might even increase." That was his guess.

"Having talent is so great! Unlike me, I have to endure pain and do missions. Everything I have is due to my own hard work!"

"System! Upgrade me!"

The third, fourth, and fifth levels of the Sword Refining Technique.

Chu Huaixu broke through three orifices in succession.
