People are working on collapsing iron, and one concept-level capability is developed every month.

"Now that you have achieved your goal, please stop joking with me."

"How can you call it a joke? I think this project has great potential."

"Ah~~"

Jing Yuan sighed and said, "On 'Luofu,' there are still many veterans of the Cloud Cavalry. If you launch this project, I'm afraid many of them will fall into demonic possession prematurely. I implore you to be merciful and allow these former heroes of 'Luofu' to live a few more years."

Lin Yinzhou raised an eyebrow slightly. "Is it that serious?"

Jing Yuan looked up at Danfeng and Yinxing, his expression complex, and said, "Luofu has lost too much in that past calamity: a valiant swordsman, a powerful dragon master, a legendary craftsman known as the 'Master of a Hundred Metals,' and countless fellow Cloud Riders. How could Luofu forget such a devastating loss?"

Jing Yuan shifted his gaze to Lin Yinzhou, "If these two were to appear before that Canghao Xiaowei, they would likely be instantly smashed into mincemeat by the Junxiao Halberd."

"Pity."

Hearing Jing Yuan say this, Lin Yinzhou had no choice but to temporarily abandon the "Five Beauties of the Clouds" project. With a thought, Danfeng and Yinxing transformed back into a painting.

Just as the two paintings were about to fall to the ground, Jingyuan and Yaoyue reached out and each grasped one of the paintings.

　The investigation into the incident (Part 3)! Jingyuan looked slightly regretful, but didn't say much.

Yaoyue maintained her aloof expression, making it impossible to discern her thoughts.

"Since they can't show up, then forget it. But Jingyuan and Yaoyue should be able to stay, right?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Jing Yuan said in a low voice, "My master committed the 'Ten Unforgivable Sins' and his name has long been erased from the Immortal Ship's records. It's probably not appropriate for Miss Yaoyue, who resembles him, to appear openly."

“It’s okay, you can keep your face covered, even when you debut. After all, maintaining mystery is a good strategy.”

"But it will be exposed one day."

"Then we'll talk about it when it's exposed. Besides, compared to those two, the former Sword Master shouldn't let the Cloud Cavalry veterans fall into demonic possession prematurely, right?"

"..."

"Since it won't affect the former heroes of the Immortal Ship, then there's no problem, right?"

"...My master might not be dead yet. If she knew, perhaps..."

"It's okay. I'm not afraid."

"..."

Jing Yuan gazed at Lin Yinzhou with a deep, melancholy look.

You were so decisive when you took Danfeng and Yinxing in, but you're so hesitant and reluctant with Yaoyue. You wouldn't happen to have something on my master's mind, would you?

"Very well, since you insist, I won't try to persuade you further, but I would appreciate it if you could try to keep Miss Yaoyue a mystery."

Knowing that Lin Yinzhou did not want to give up, Jingyuan did not try to persuade him further.

As for Jing Yuan's existence, he didn't think it was a big problem. But... what if this kid tries to harm Jing Yuan?

If that's really the case... Jing Yuan suddenly felt a tightness in his back, a kind of indescribable awkwardness.

"General! General! Help...help me!!"

Just then, an urgent young voice came from afar.

The next moment, Yanqing, her face filled with terror, rushed into the courtyard and hid behind Jingyuan.

Then, six more flying swords of varying lengths, shrouded in a ghostly light, flew into the courtyard and transformed into charming young girls of different shapes.

Looking at these girls with chilling sword intent, Jing Yuan immediately knew their origins, but he didn't know why his good disciple was so frightened. He patted Yan Qing and asked.

"What happened?"

Yanqing hid behind Jingyuan, her eyes filled with terror.

"Master! They are not human!"

Nonsense! I know they're not human! It's obvious they were inspired by your "Flowering Sword Sea" technique.

"No rush, speak properly."

Jing Yuan comforted Yan Qing again, while also wondering why a mere sword maiden would frighten his beloved disciple who was obsessed with swords.

"Master!! They...they...they are like me down there!"

"kindness?"

Jingyuan was puzzled.

"Master! They're not sword maidens! They're sword lads! No! They're sword wolves!! They want my body!!"

"what?!"

Jing Yuan looked at the six girls opposite him with a look of astonishment.

Volume 1: Chapter 46, The Sword Master's Kindness Can Never Be Repaid

Faced with the surprised looks of everyone present, the group of sword maidens (?) explained one by one.

"The Sword Master is wrong."

“We don’t want the Sword Master’s body; we just want to repay the Sword Master’s kindness.”

“In the past, the sword master would always set aside time each day to maintain our swords with the finest sword oil.”

“We remember this matter very clearly.”

"The Sword Master just sparred with us, and he was sweating a lot afterward, so we wanted to help him wipe himself down."

"The sword master refused, and in the ensuing struggle, he accidentally bumped into Third Sister's ○○."

"Our bodies are formed from flying swords."

"His body was like black iron."

"A heart as clear as crystal."

"In every battle, his body, from top to bottom and from head to toe, is as hard as black gold and indestructible."

"After the battle just ended, Third Sister's fighting spirit had slightly subsided, but her body remained as hard as black gold, which startled the Sword Master, who subconsciously questioned us about our true strength."

“We will naturally not hide anything from the Sword Master and will tell you everything.”

"After saying that, Sixth Sister wanted to go forward to wipe the sweat from the Sword Master's body, but the Sword Master seemed to have misunderstood something and turned to run away."

"We naturally followed closely behind, wanting to explain something to the Sword Master."

After listening to the explanations from the group of sword maidens, Jing Yuan roughly understood the situation.

He pressed his throbbing temples and turned to look at Lin Yinzhou, whose expression was subtle.

"Your Excellency, Yanqing is still young and cannot enjoy such a blessing of having two wives. Please be lenient."

"The blessing of having multiple wives? No, no, no, General, you're mistaken. This is tempering, the tempering of 'enduring hardship, straining one's muscles and bones, exhausting one's body, emptying one's mind, and frustring one's actions'! Why don't you ask Brother Yanqing how good their swordsmanship is?"

As he spoke, Lin Yinzhou looked seriously at Yan Qing, who was hiding behind Jing Yuan.

Yan Qing was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously replied truthfully: "In terms of swordsmanship alone, they are no less skilled than me, and they are quite talented in sword formations. If they combine their skills, even I will have to be careful to deal with them."

"That's right."

Lin Yinzhou added in a serious tone: "As your preferred weapons, Brother Yanqing, they are naturally skilled in swordsmanship due to your influence. Moreover, they are sincere and their swordsmanship talent is not bad either. Given time, they will surely become your greatest help."

"Forehead......"

A hint of confusion appeared in Yanqing's eyes.

If we're talking about swordsmanship and honing skills, the "Sea of ​​Blooming Swords" after being enlightened is indeed an excellent object for swordsmanship practice.

Although the "Flowering Sword Sea" is no match for him in terms of absolute strength, they are only newly born and have a lot of room for growth. Given time, perhaps...

No! That's not right!!

This guy is using the CPU!

Yanqing glared angrily at Lin Yinzhou.

"No! That's not right! That's not what you said at the door! You clearly said they were... were..."

When the words were about to come out, Yanqing blushed with embarrassment and couldn't utter a sound.

Seeing this, Jing Yuan already knew what was going on. He took a step to block Yan Qing and spoke again.

"Your Excellency, Yanqing is only a child. It is too early for him to undergo any kind of training or anything else. Please be lenient with me."

Faced with Jing Yuan's repeated requests, Lin Yinzhou felt a little regretful, but he also knew that it was time to stop there.

But... the age of childhood?

Yanqing is only thirteen or fourteen years old, is she really that young?

As thoughts raced through his mind, Lin Yinzhou made a move, and the group of sword maidens transformed back into flying swords of varying lengths.

Seeing that the flying swords were about to fall to the ground, Yanqing couldn't help but raise his sword finger, commanding the flying swords to fly back to his side.

Looking at the azure flying sword in his hand, Yanqing felt a sense of emptiness in his heart for some reason.

Seeing this, Lin Yinzhou smiled and said.

"How about keeping one? I guarantee it will be a real sword maiden this time. Of course, a sword lad will also do."

Yanqing was startled and hurriedly put away the "Sea of ​​Blossoming Swords" so that Lin Yinzhou would not see it again.

Jing Yuan didn't say much. He patted Yan Qing on the shoulder and said...

"Go practice your sword first."

"Yes!"

Yanqing fled the villa as if he were escaping, not daring to look back.

He wasn't afraid of cunning or brutal enemies on the battlefield, but he was genuinely afraid of this kind of thing.

Putting aside the gender of those sword maidens, the mere fact that his longsword was being manipulated by others made him somewhat uncomfortable...

After watching Yanqing leave, Lin Yinzhou seemed to remember something and suddenly asked a question.

"General Jingyuan, is Brother Yanqing an immortal being?"

Why would you ask that?

Jing Yuan sat back down at the stone table and poured Lin Yinzhou another cup of tea.

"It's just curiosity. After all, he's only a child and he's already a valiant guard. From the perspective of an immortal being, it's truly unbelievable."

Lin Yinzhou also sat back down at the stone table.

Jing Yuan poured himself a cup of tea. “The immortal ship has been traversing the universe for eight thousand years, and countless outstanding talents have emerged. Yan Qing is just one of them.”

As he spoke, Jingyuan picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

After putting down his teacup, he changed the subject and said...

"Your ability to manipulate events is truly astounding. Even the Abundant Envoy who brought great calamity to 'Luofu' more than seven hundred years ago was far less capable than you."

Lin Yinzhou picked up his teacup and sighed, "Yes, such power is astonishing even to me, the holder."

Seeing that Lin Yinzhou was still dodging the question, Jing Yuan had a sudden thought and said half-jokingly, "With such an ability to enlighten, have you perhaps secretly become the Envoy of Abundance?"

“The envoy…” Lin Yinzhou swirled his teacup, his expression becoming increasingly unfathomable.

After a short while, he suddenly asked, "General, what is it like to be a messenger? Are you bound by fate?"

"Bound?" Jing Yuan shook his head and said, "What right does a mere Commander have to be bound by fate? It's just... as a Commander, one is indeed affected by fate, but this influence..."

Jing Yuan chuckled, “Most people who can embark on their destiny are determined and their beliefs are in line with their destiny. Such insignificant influence is no different from nothing.”

"..."

Lin Yinzhou remained silent.

As a native of Earth, and a good-for-nothing college student who wasted four years of his life in university, he didn't think his will was particularly strong.

His ability to achieve his destiny is probably due to sheer hard work and miracles.

Those insignificant effects mean nothing to a determined traveler, but for him, it's a different story.

but......
