But, we can win.

She thinks so.

The girl actually knew that she was gifted, and even her master often praised her, but the time was too short. Even for a person with great talent, it would be difficult to master the sword skills that had been condensed for thousands of years by Xianzhou in just a few years.

But it doesn't matter, she can learn on the battlefield and let the fallen enemies teach her how to use those sword moves.

Although "stabbing" is simple and clear, the agile monsters will not consciously face the sword tip and allow the girl to execute them. So she learned "slashing".

The next step was "entanglement". Facing the monster with incredible strength, the girl learned to use the spine of the sword to block the attack.

She thought she had mastered the swordsmanship, so she jumped onto the weapon beast warrior "Long Bo" which was ten times taller than herself.

Even if all the swords he carried were broken, they would only leave dozens of wounds on the opponent's huge body.

The giant palm slapped her away, and her whole body was filled with severe pain. Fear overwhelmed her again, until she fell into the bloody mud of the battlefield. A figure passed by and picked her up.

She was stunned, and the blood-stained profile of the young man came into her sight.

Further down was his broken body.

"Your injury..."

Perhaps due to the pain, Jingliu's voice sounded a little difficult to hear.

"What are you surprised about? Do you think you're the only one fighting?"

Behind them, flames spread with a huge explosion, and Long Bo fell down. It was just a crossbow arrow loaded with blazing fire. It was so easy that it seemed as if Jingliu's previous desperate fight was just a joke.

An Jing brought Jing Liu into their temporary position and began to treat him.

The boy lowered his head and looked at the girl's out-of-focus pupils and her hands that fell weakly on the ground.

"It's soft now?"

She ignored his sarcasm and even lost the energy to refute.

"Whatever you want, I'm busy."

The young man hurriedly left a few words, then dragged his broken body and continued to shuttle into the battlefield.

She raised her head, looked at his back, and clenched her hands into fists.

............

......

"I don't want to learn sword anymore. This thing is... useless."

Jing Liu had a wooden face, and the woman in military uniform stood in front of her with a cold expression.

"Useless? In my hands, it is very useful. In the final analysis, it is just that people are useless."

"..."

"If you don't want to learn swordsmanship, then what do you want to learn? The stone arrows on the flying star raft, the blazing fire crossbow equipped by the divine arm? Or... the Zhuming fire of the Zhuming Immortal Boat? It's enough to destroy the evil star. You want to learn those? No problem, those things can kill the opponent without even fighting."

"...I just don't understand why you insist that I learn swordsmanship!?"

"From the generals to the soldiers, every Cloud Rider must learn to draw the sword first. The various weapons of the Engineering Department can indeed kill the enemy for you, but those are just the weapons operating on their own. If there comes a day when the arrows are exhausted, the Star Raft falls, and the Golden Man stops moving, who will protect you and me, who will protect the Immortal Boat?"

"Hold this sword and remember this. Only when Yunqi personally wields the sword in battle, can it be considered a fight between humans. We will use our own flesh and blood, our own skills to prove to those inhuman evil creatures that we will surely defeat them, instead of letting machines act for us!"

The woman in military uniform turned and left, leaving her and the broken sword in the martial arts training room.

The sword was two feet and one inch long, with only the blade and tip remaining.

That was what the young man helped her find on the battlefield.

Volume 1: Chapter 9: I wonder what delicious food will be served at Jian Shou's banquet...

But the girl could never have imagined that that unpleasant class would be the last time they met.

In order to allow her to calm down and choose a path, the woman did not take her with her in the next raid.

The night before she left, she went to look for him, but her opinion was rejected.

The only person with her was the young man who, for some reason, had become less erratic recently.

As the news of another great victory came back, the tall figure could not be found among the returning people.

The young man walked alone calmly and came to her.

"Where's the master?"

She asked.

"died."

"......"

"There are no bones left."

"..."

The boy's expression was so calm that it didn't seem like he was talking about the passing of someone who was as close to them as a relative.

Jing Liu stood there in a daze, speechless for a moment.

He walked past her, and when their shoulders were level, he paused.

"Now, have you thought it through?"

"I......"

She turned her head suddenly and saw the boy's back getting farther and farther away. He was waving his hands and yawning.

"I'm tired, I'm going to sleep. If you have anything to say, we can talk tomorrow."

Jing Liu looked at his back and suddenly felt angry. She didn't understand why her senior brother could be so calm and nonchalant, as if he was just casually talking about an old dead dog next door during dinner. That was obviously the master who rescued them from the battlefield and raised and taught them.

They will never see her again, and all the warmth and contradictions in the past have become memories that can never be reproduced...

Why is he so calm?

She wanted to chase him, grab his shoulders and question him, but her body felt like it was filled with lead and she couldn't move at all, not even shouting.

The sudden anger turned into confusion.

What happened?

This should have been the first question she thought of, but emotions can easily carry people away.

He always keeps his thoughts very deep, it is normal for him not to show them...

At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, but they all came to an abrupt stop, turning into two lines of tears that flowed down from the corners of her eyes.

no matter what.

She no longer has a teacher.

............

Wake up feeling refreshed.

After staying in bed for nearly half an hour, tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep, An Jing finally climbed out of bed.

He felt a swelling sensation in his lower body and knew it was time to release it.

But as soon as I opened the door, I saw an uninvited guest standing at the door, blocking the way.

"You didn't sleep all night?"

Although Jingliu had no dark circles under his eyes and no obvious bloodshot in his eyes, he could easily determine this based on his experience.

"Um......"

The girl responded softly, and her mental state was obviously not very good.

An Jing was not surprised.

Although he was looking forward to his junior sister, who was holding the protagonist's script, performing the classic enlightenment segment after sacrificing her loved ones, he could also relax a lot.

But now, this is obviously the behavior of a relatively strong but still immature girl. It is normal for her to subconsciously want to rely on him, an elder who is obviously very reliable.

"Go sit inside. I'm going to the bathroom first."

He placed the back of his right hand against the girl's shoulder, pushing her away slightly.

"Go pour yourself a glass of water, and remember to pour one for me too."

The second half of the sentence is the most important.

After going to the toilet to relieve stress, wash your hands and face refreshed.

I didn't brush my teeth because I was too lazy.

Walking back to the bedroom, there was a small wooden table next to the desk. Jingliu was sitting on the left, with two glasses of water placed neatly on the table.

Yo ho?

He is so obedient today, it seems that his heart is really confused.

"What do you want to ask?"

Sitting opposite her, An Jing held the wall of the cup with his hand, feeling the temperature of the water.

It’s too hot. Drink it later.

The girl's lips parted slightly, opened, paused, but quickly closed again, remaining silent.

"I don't know what to say?"

She hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Then wait, get used to it, and accept it slowly. This matter has nothing to do with us, and there is no conspiracy theory. She made the decision herself, which is a good ending compared to committing a crime and losing her reputation in her later years."

"......maybe."

Jingliu looked out the window.

"You're all I have left."

She suddenly said something unrelated to the topic.

An Jing glanced at her.

"Curse me to death?"

The girl frowned and glared at him.

This is right.

An Jing chuckled, shook his head, lowered his head and took a sip of the water that was no longer boiling hot.

"Do you have an answer to yesterday's question? It's okay if you don't want to practice swordsmanship anymore. Tell me as soon as possible, or you'll miss the opportunity if you change your career."

"practice."

The girl was determined.

"Good, very energetic! These few days are just the right opportunity for us to take a break. In the afternoon, I will take you to the Golden Man Alley in Changle Tiandongtian to relax."

"Recently?"

Mirror Flow repeats.

"What are you going to do next?"

"I have to work, otherwise what will we eat? Who will serve us the food?"

"What work?"

"Baby, we are the Cloud Cavalry, we have an organization, we have to go wherever the leader tells us to go, not just me, you have to go too."

“…That’s true.”

For some reason, Jing Liu looked relieved, which made An Jing look weird.

"You're not afraid that I'll die on the battlefield."

"..."

Her silence was deafening.
