Ye Qingcheng couldn't stop the tears from flowing down her face. "No, Jian'er. You're not being presumptuous. I know you consider me your closest relative."

"It is I who have wronged you. I apologize to you. I should not have treated you that way. Please forgive me."

She begged Gu Jian, apologized to him, and hugged him tightly.

A warm, soft sensation came over me.

In Gu Jian's memory, this was the first time Ye Qingcheng had hugged him after he was brought back to the Misty Sect.

This was the hug that Gu Jian longed for most when he was young.

But now, Gu Jian coldly pushed her away.

Ye Qingcheng was at a loss for what to do.

Gu Jian said coldly, "Sect Leader Ye, I've said it before, stop making trouble."

Since our fate has run its course, let's wish each other well.

"Furthermore, I've come here for some important matters. If you ruin them, don't blame me for hating you."

What?

Ye Qingcheng couldn't accept that Gu Jian had said such harsh words.

She broke down, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam.

Feng Yantong finally spoke, turning to Gu Jian and saying, "Jian'er, is the important matter you mentioned investigating the person impersonating you?"

Gu Jian looked over and asked, "Senior Uncle Feng, have you seen that person before?"

Feng Yantong nodded and said, "Yes, I've seen him before. He lives in the Demon Soldier's Mansion."

Just as Gu Jian was wondering, Feng Yantong laughed and said, "To tell you the truth, I arrived in Meidu yesterday and secretly followed you for two days. I also saw the person who was impersonating you. He participated in the martial arts champion examination of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom."

Gu Jian frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Ai Youwei and Liu Ruyan felt that Gu Jian was about to get angry.

Gu Jian was angry with them, angry with his master, and now he should be angry with his eldest grand-uncle too, so that they would be treated fairly.

To be honest, they also disliked and were very unhappy with Feng Shibo's constant aloofness.

But then Gu Jian said, "Uncle-Master Feng, you don't need to follow me anymore. I'm not worth your time."

Feng Yantong shook her head and said, "How could that be, Jian'er? Of course it's worth it. You're so sensible, I'm doing this willingly."

Seeing Gu Jian and Feng Yantong talking, Ai Youwei and Liu Ruyan were completely dumbfounded.

no.

Is Senior Brother really that easy to talk to?

We shouldn't try to drive them away at the drop of a hat.

Slap them in the face.

Ai Youwei was beaten until her head was swollen like a pig's head.

But why is he being so polite to Uncle-Master Feng?

"Just as I suspected, they only bully the weak and fear the strong! Humph!"

Ai Youwei snorted, feeling very dissatisfied.

Ye Qingcheng glanced at Gu Jian, then at Feng Yantong, and her heart ached even more.

Without comparison, there is no harm.

Gu Jian treated Feng Yantong with the same politeness as always.

He was cold and indifferent to her.

But once, Gu Jian had been so gentle and respectful towards her.

She desperately wished that she was the one treated gently by Gu Jian.

I really hope Gu Jian can treat me the same way he always has.

If only life could be like the first time we met.

I wish I could go back to the past.

Is it really impossible to go back?

While Ye Qingcheng was in pain, Gu Jian looked at her again and said, "Sect Leader Ye, I have now become a demonic cultivator. I have also participated in the martial arts champion examination of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom to compete for the title of martial arts champion, so I advise you to give up any thoughts you should have."

Ye Qingcheng's face turned pale, and she said, "You also want to compete for the martial arts champion? How is that possible?"

Gu Jian said, "Nothing is impossible."

"Furthermore, in your eyes, demonic cultivators are utterly wicked. Therefore, in order to maintain your upright image, please stop bothering me in the future, lest others see this and think that the sect leader of the Misty Sect is colluding with demonic cultivators."

"Also, I'm returning this sword to you. I hope that from now on, you will go your way and I will go mine."

"From now on, we will be separated by mountains and rivers, and never meet again!"

After saying that, Gu Jian drew his sword and planted it in front of Ye Qingcheng.

The longsword hummed, and he turned indifferently and headed outside.

Ye Qingcheng froze.

This was the Longquan Heavenly Sword that she gave to Gu Jian on his tenth birthday!

Once, after receiving this sword, Gu Jian was extremely excited and said that he must practice swordsmanship well, protect the sect when he grew up, and repay his master.

But now, he throws the sword in front of her.

He wants to completely sever ties with her?!

Seeing her own reflection in the Dragon Spring Heavenly Sword, Ye Qingcheng couldn't accept it and collapsed to her knees in despair.

She felt a deep pain in her heart, as if her heart were being tightened by a large net, causing her pain and making it hard to breathe.

The next second, the Dragon Spring Heavenly Sword shattered into pieces right in front of her.

The broken sword blade lay scattered on the ground.

Then, a beam of light shot out from the broken sword and pierced Gu Jian's chest.

Feng Yantong was astonished.

What did she see?

Gu Jian's sword has become sentient?!

Does this Longquan sword possess its own sword spirit?

Gu Jian was also surprised. He touched the spot where the sword spirit was, and a look of relief appeared on his face. He said, "Old friend, you can't bear to part with me, can you?"

The sword spirit of the Longquan sword trembled slightly, as if responding to Gu Jian.

Gu Jian smiled with relief and said, "That's fine too. Actually, I'm a little reluctant to let you go. Since that's the case, you can still be with me from now on. I will find a new sword and give you a new body."

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

The sound of a sword ringing out came from within Gu Jian's body; it was the sword spirit of the Longquan Sword responding to Gu Jian.

That was a positive and happy response.

Wielding a sword, I roam the world.

It still hopes to be the sword in Gu Jian's hand.

It seems that even if Gu Jian becomes a demon, it would be willing to become a demon as well!
