Lu Li wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Moreover, although his words successfully diverted the attention of March 7 and the others.

But the "idle feather" at his waist showed no sign of stopping.

The tremor only became more unrestrained because of Bai Heng's loud laughter.

"Buzz buzz buzz—click click click—"

The sound of the knife striking the chair grew louder and louder, becoming exceptionally clear in the quiet private room.

"Lu Li".

Walter finally couldn't stand it anymore.

He gave up ignoring it and turned his head to look at Lu Li's hand, which was pressed tightly on the hilt of the knife.

"What happened to your knife?"

Upon hearing this, everyone realized what was happening and their gazes followed Walter's words to Lu Li's waist.

People are most curious on March 7th.

She even craned her neck, trying to see more clearly.

"what?"

"Lu Li, your knife... seems to be moving!"

"It really is!" Hoshino noticed. "And it's even glowing!"

Lu Li looked down.

really.

I don't know when.

The originally dull and lackluster patterns on the blade of "Xianyu" were now emitting a faint, barely perceptible silver light.

What the hell?!

No, just move it.

Why are you glowing?!

It’s over.

It's impossible to hide it anymore now.

Lu Li's mind went blank.

How is he supposed to explain this?

Is this actually not a knife, but a white jade pendant?

Tingyun is still here.

He said he wasn't far from "death".

He claims his knife has become a spirit?

Or is this actually a high-tech massager, currently in automatic massage mode?

Just as Lu Li's brain was racing, trying to come up with an even more outrageous reason.

Suddenly, on March 7th, he clapped his hands and exclaimed in sudden realization, "I know!"

Lu Li: "?"

No, you found out too?

March 7th blinked: "Lu Li, is your knife... electrified?"

Xingye nodded in agreement, analyzing seriously, "Hmm, that's possible."

"I remember that there were many of these rechargeable weapons on Lady Black Tower's space station."

"It won't work when the power is off, and it will also sound an alarm."

"Lu Li, is your knife also one of those types?"

"It's almost out of battery, that's why it keeps vibrating to remind you, right?"

Lu Li: "..."

Bai Heng: "..."

Walter: "..."

Tingyun: "..."

God the hell is electrified!

The power is about to die!

Your imaginations are just too vivid!

Lu Li felt like he was about to laugh out loud at these two clowns.

But then I thought about it again.

This seems... to be a decent excuse?

It's much more believable than saying that a hero from the Immortal Ship from seven hundred years ago lives in your sword and is now going crazy because he senses the aura of his old friend... no, I mean, getting excited.

"Cough cough."

Lu Li cleared his throat and decided to play along.

"That's right."

He said with a serious expression, "You guessed right."

"I only recently discovered this myself; this knife is indeed a high-tech product."

"But what it needs isn't electricity, it needs energy."

"Just now... it might have entered power-saving mode because the energy was too low."

As he spoke, he even patted the hilt of the knife with an air of importance.

"It's all right now, I've switched it to backup power."

At the same time, Lu Li roared furiously in his heart: "Bai Heng, calm down right now!"

"Or... or I'll never bring you out again!"

Coincidentally.

Just as Lu Li finished speaking.

The "Idle Feather" at my waist actually stopped vibrating.

The faint silver light also dimmed.

Bai Heng calmed down, but not because of Lu Li's words.

Rather, it's because...

【Huh?】

Bai Heng let out a soft, puzzled "Eh" in Lu Li's mind.

[Strange... Jingliu's aura... why did it suddenly disappear?]

Lu Li was also taken aback.

Disappeared?

However, although Bai Heng kept saying that he could sense Jing Liu's aura, he hadn't sensed it since the cold sword intent that had made him feel uneasy disappeared.

Was Bai Heng's perception wrong?

Or……

Kagami Ryu... he really left before, didn't he?

A sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in Lu Li's heart.

He slowly raised his head and looked down at the street.

The figure carrying the ice-blue longsword was still nowhere to be seen.

It seems Bai Heng must have sensed something wrong.

Hmm, maybe it's because Bai Heng transformed into a knife for the first time, and the signal reception was a bit delayed.

He breathed a sigh of relief and was just about to look away.

Suddenly, an extremely cold chill rose from behind him.

A cold, emotionless voice echoed softly in his ear.

"Your knife is very interesting."

Lu Li's pupils suddenly contracted.

He turned his head stiffly, inch by inch.

A white-haired woman in blue had silently appeared behind him.

Her eyes were covered by a black cloth, but Lu Li could feel that the covered eyes were "looking" at him.

Or rather... it's about "looking" at the knife at one's waist.

Lu Li was instantly shocked.

Mirror Flow?!

The private room fell into a deathly silence.

March 7 and Hoshi, who were chatting away about the "charging knife," seemed to have been put on pause.

He stared wide-eyed at the white-haired woman who had suddenly appeared.

Walter reacted the fastest.

The moment Jingliu spoke, he almost instinctively stood up, held his cane horizontally in front of him, and assumed a defensive posture.

An invisible, heavy aura emanated from him, protecting March 7th and Xing behind him.

"And you are...?"

Walter's voice was low and solemn.

He sensed an unprecedented, potentially deadly danger emanating from the woman before him.

It was a pure, highly refined sword intent.

Like a peerless, deadly sword drawn from its sheath, its mere presence is enough to make everything around it pale in comparison.

This feeling...

Tingyun also dropped her sweet smile, replacing it with an unprecedented solemnity.

She actually sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Jing Liu, even more so than when she faced General Jing Yuan of Luofu.

Tingyun narrowed her eyes slightly.

When did such a person arrive at Luofu Mountain?

The entire private room.

The calmest one... was actually Lu Li.

However, it's not that he doesn't want to move.

Rather... he simply couldn't move.

A chilling aura had locked him in place.

He felt like a frozen specimen, and even moving a finger had become a luxury.

He could only watch helplessly as Jing Liu appeared.

The woman who had made him willing to die in his past life, standing in the sky, walked step by step towards him.

Jingliu ignored the wary Welt and didn't even glance at the others.

He simply stared quietly at Lu Li and the black knife at his waist.

Her eyes were clearly covered with a black cloth.

But Lu Li felt as if those covered eyes could see right through everything.

He saw him clearly from the inside out.

"Your knife... looks familiar."

Jingliu spoke again, his voice still cold and devoid of any emotion.

"...Its name is 'Xianyu,' right?"
