Upon transmigration, Shen Sui's first task was to repair her thatched hut.
Shen Sui: Thanks for the invite, now I can mend and patch for another three years.
For the dignity of a tr...
But Shen Sui still didn't stop him.
This made Cangwu unable to help but ask: "Aren't you afraid that they will disturb your senior brother?"
Shen Sui was very surprised: "Can I bother you?"
Cangwu: “…”
That’s right, there’s still the afterimage of the Bifang bird. Just make sure that these screaming little bastards aren’t blown away in one breath.
"By the way, I think you two are weird," Chen Sui said suddenly, "You seem more... soft-hearted than before?"
"Is there? I don't think so," Taowu said with a dry laugh, "What do you think, Cangwu?"
Cangwu didn't say anything.
Seeing that it didn't speak, Taowu stopped talking too, and the air suddenly became quiet.
Chen Sui tutted his words, "So, what happened to you guys? Why did you suddenly become like this? Besides, the other sword spirits, except for Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi, didn't say a word."
"Although you, Cangwu, concealed it better than Taowu, but as your sword master, I can still sense your weakness," Chen Sui said calmly, "Did you encounter anything during the two days I was unconscious?"
"...If you don't want to tell me, you don't have to tell me," Chen Sui said, adding, "After all, you have your own secrets."
The two sword spirits remained very quiet.
Chen Sui also quietly watched the disciples being chased by the puppets.
After an unknown amount of time, Cangwu suddenly said, "If I tell you, will you take us away this time?"
Shen Sui: “?”
Shen Sui was shocked: "You...you?"
How did you know... No, what did you know? No, why did you know that I would... Ah ah.
Shen Sui's thoughts suddenly became confused, and she stammered: "You, you are talking about, what are you talking about."
"This time," Cangwu repeated, his voice a little tired, "will you take us with you after you leave?"
Shen Sui was stunned.
She didn't know how long it took before she remembered what she wanted to say: "...Are you remembering things from your past life?"
"We can't talk about the past life," Cangwu's voice even became a little vague, "We can only say that we have experienced it before, but it happened again, right?"
Shen Sui's expression became extremely complicated, and she said, "How did you... think of this?"
"Actually, after you'd been unconscious for quite some time, your breathing suddenly stopped for some unknown reason, and then your soul inexplicably began to disintegrate," Taowu took over. He knew Cangwu was at his most emotionally unstable, so he said in a deep voice, "It was at that moment that we mobilized our own strength, desperately trying to lock your disintegrating soul within your body."
Taowu's words reminded Shen Sui of when she tried to leave the cemetery, but an invisible force blocked her in the cemetery again and again, preventing her from entering the darkness.
Shen Sui opened his mouth.
She didn't know what to say to express her astonishment at the moment, and could only listen to Taowu continue: "Then when we were about to exhaust all our strength, we found that a special power slowly repaired your shattered soul.
"Because you still have our power in your body, that special power allowed us to recall some memories while it was being repaired."
Taowu's voice remained steady until he finished speaking, but Chen Sui could inexplicably hear the undercurrent surging beneath the calmness.
There was a long silence.
Shen Sui whispered, "I'm sorry..."
But before she could finish her words, Cang Wu interrupted her: "We don't need you to say sorry, we just want to know if you can take us away this time."
Cangwu's voice was unusually weak.
Shen Sui tried hard to force a smile: "I'll try, okay, and maybe I won't leave this time, don't be so sure."
Almost at the same time, Cangwu and Taowu said in unison: "I don't believe it."
Chen Sui: "...Really? If I leave, you can find a new sword master."
But when Chen Sui said this, neither Cangwu nor Taowu responded.
This made Shen Sui scratch his hair in annoyance: "Ah, I don't know why I have such great charm, but thank you for considering me. I guess your strange behavior before was because you didn't want me to get into trouble. But it's a pity, I've already gotten into trouble."
"But don't worry. I must have had an accident last time, so I couldn't take you with me. They say every failure makes you wiser. I will definitely take you with me this time," Chen Sui finally combed his messy hair. "And no matter how much you don't believe me, you should at least believe that I am a sword master who keeps his promises."
There was another long silence.
Cang Wu then whispered, "Although you are the most lame and irresponsible of all the sword masters I have..."
Shen Sui: "Hey, hey, hey."
"But I still inexplicably trust you. This isn't telepathy, but an intuition," Cangwu murmured. "I haven't told you this, but the moment I saw you in Xuantian Sect's sword tomb, I knew I would follow you, and that you would be the only Sword Master from now on."
Chen Sui's expression became extremely complicated, but before she could say anything, Taowu started to mutter: "What? You are so disgusting. Cangwu, you are so old and still so disgusting. But Sword Master, everyone thinks so.
"Otherwise, why would I be willing to risk a long sleep just to save you? You know, even though we swordsmen are very old, we're also afraid of the loneliness of sleep."
Another long silence.
Chen Sui said, "I understand, but please don't let your imagination run wild. Since I've become your sword master, I'll definitely be responsible for you to the end."
Then Shen Sui paused and continued: "I will try my best to survive and become the annoying sword master who will always own you."
The originally tense atmosphere gradually eased.
At this time, the afterimage of the Bifang bird once again emitted a shocking explosion like a landslide and tsunami.
The roaring sound in Shen Sui's ears finally stopped, but it started again.
Chen Sui looked in that direction and said to himself, seemingly talking to himself, "With such a big commotion, someone who didn't know would think that Senior Brother was planning to tear down the outer field."
Then Chen Sui patted Taowu and said, "Let's go and join our senior brother in the fun."
Taowu immediately took her and flew over there.
As they got closer to their destination, Shen Sui saw many disciples who had been chased by puppets until they collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. This made Shen Sui sigh.
"Actually, the puppets don't have much independent attack power. It's mainly an image problem. So, in the end, they were just not careful enough and were frightened by the talismans I placed next to the puppets, causing them to make a big deal out of nothing."
Cangwu: “…”
Taowu: “…”
You really are a black-hearted person, aren't you?!
