Chapter 627 I Can't Protect You If I Pick Up a Knife
The nights in the Qinqiu Snow Mountain are always extremely cold. With the sudden snowfall, the tabby cat team and the hyena team could only temporarily hide in a cave under the rocks.
After confirming that this was just an ordinary cave with no passages inside, Li Muhan asked Zhou Yichen to set up a tent.
"This snow won't stop until daytime. Although it won't affect the two of us, we should try not to move around in the snow at night with them."
Li Muhan said to Xia Yue while piling up the firewood.
Xia Yue was taking out food from the bags of the three sisters. Most of them were frozen foods that could be eaten after heating up.
She nodded, and then said to the three sisters, "You can't go anywhere, do you hear me?"
The three Liu sisters exchanged glances, then smiled and nodded to Xia Yue.
"Got it~ Little teacher, we promise to stay close to you when we sleep~"
"But, the little teacher should sleep with her boyfriend, right~?"
"Hey hey~ Maybe tonight..."
Although Li Muhan had his back to the group, he still heard everything. His cheeks turned red and he coughed twice.
"No, no, Xia Yue will sleep with you."
Xia Yue turned her head and looked at Li Muhan with dissatisfaction, but when she thought that she had to keep an eye on these three people even when she was sleeping, she could only say helplessly.
"Hmph, don't move around while you're sleeping, and don't touch me."
"Oh, this is so difficult."
"After all, the little teacher is so cute."
"I can't sleep without touching you a few times~"
Chen Yiming and Lu Yunxue blushed after hearing these conversations.
As for Zhou Yichen, he walked back from outside in the wind and snow.
"Boss, no, I tried it. It's OK at short distances, but I can't see clearly at long distances."
Li Muhan had just asked the members of the Hyena Team to go outside one by one and try to see if they could use their own strength to see things in this windy and snowy night.
Lu Yunxue and Zhou Yichen performed similarly. They could still maintain their vision at short distances, but as time went on, their visual range and quality would rapidly decrease.
Li Muhan nodded and said.
"Your realms are gradually awakening, but the aura is still unstable. Take your time."
Then he secretly glanced at the three sisters who were chatting with Xia Yue.
Putting aside their weird personalities, their strength was beyond his expectations.
There are a total of twenty-one aliens in the gathering place of the Shan Gao tribe, and they are all hunting members. Their average strength is at the chaos level, but they all have the power of the realm.
And these three sisters wiped out the gathering place with just three people, and they seemed to be completely unharmed.
This team may be the strongest among all the trial teams. Oh, I almost forgot about Hati.
I don’t know what method she used, but her team members have obviously already had the aura of the realm, and it is very stable. Everyone should be able to open the realm.
Thinking of this, Lu Yunxue had already lit the firewood.
"Li Muhan."
In the reflection of the flames, Lu Yunxue's eyes emitted a hint of fire.
"What's wrong?"
"Can I see that knife?"
Li Muhan was stunned. Of course she knew which knife Lu Yunxue was talking about.
The magic weapon his father once used to suppress demons.
For Lu Yunxue, this may be an obsession, and it is this obsession that drives her to survive the training of the Special Management Bureau and become an intern of the combat members.
Lu Yunxue stared at Li Muhan, with reflections of flames dancing in her eyes.
Her gaze was so scorching that it seemed to penetrate Li Muhan's soul.
"The general who subdues the demon... Huo Tian's former sword..."
Lu Yunxue murmured to herself, her tone filled with an indescribable sadness and entanglement: "Can you let me see it?"
"You don't even want to call him father."
Li Muhan said jokingly.
Chen Yiming realized that the topic the two were about to discuss might involve privacy, so she tactfully walked away.
Zhou Yichen originally wanted to stay and listen to the story, but was pulled away by Chen Yiming.
"Because he didn't fulfill his responsibilities as a father, either to me or to my brother."
When Lu Yunxue mentioned her father and brother, her eyes became complicated, as if hiding many unknown stories.
Li Muhan also remembered the young policeman who was disemboweled and died tragically in an abandoned factory because he tracked down the Huan Kingdom alone.
The photo in the pendant that Huo Tian had shown him, that high-spirited young man, now thinking about it, there should be another person next to him.
Now it seems that the person should be Lu Yunxue.
"So, can you let me see it? If it's inconvenient, forget it."
Lu Yunxue's voice brought Li Muhan back from his memories.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, then slowly raised his hand, the black bracelet on his wrist slowly began to emit light, and a black and gold long sword appeared in Li Muhan's hand.
"Its form has changed a bit, I'm sorry..."
There was a hint of apology in Li Muhan's voice, and then he slowly put the knife on the ground.
Lu Yunxue stared at the long sword in front of her, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
The sword that once belonged to my father is now no longer the same as it used to be.
Compared with the information seen in the archives, the shape of the blade has changed, as if telling an unknown story.
She slowly stretched out her hand, wanting to touch the cold blade.
But just as her fingertips were about to touch the blade, she hesitated.
An inexplicable feeling came over her, telling her that she was not qualified to pick up the knife.
"Huo Tian......"
Lu Yunxue murmured to herself in a low voice: "Just to pick up this knife, you abandoned me. After losing all your family members, how did you feel when you held this knife and protected the lights of other families..."
Her gaze became distant, as if she had traveled through time and space and saw that high-spirited man.
The tall and majestic figure that once existed in her heart, the man who would always lift her up and laugh, is now so far away.
"I'm sorry, Lu Yunxue." Li Muhan said softly, his tone guilty.
"When Captain Huo Tian died in battle, I was by his side. No, I should say that I personally sent him off. I know you might hate me, so..."
Lu Yunxue interrupted Li Muhan with a long sigh.
"Don't think I'm such an idiot, okay? This was the old man's own choice. He trusted you and gave you the knife, letting you send him off instead of someone else, because he saw something in you that no one else had."
She slowly sat up straight, as if forcing herself to say the next words.
"So when you hold this knife, don't apologize to anyone anymore, because you haven't let him down."
“…”
Li Muhan didn't say anything. He didn't expect that the girl was more mature than he thought.
"But make no mistake. I haven't given up on this knife. One day... I will take it from you. I will become someone like you who is capable of taking on everything."
Li Muhan smiled, then scratched his head and said, "Why do you make me look like I'm going to die?"
Lu Yunxue was stunned, and then immediately explained: "No, that's not what I meant, Li Muhan, I mean..."
At this moment, Zhou Yichen's voice came from the cave entrance.
"What the hell is that?"
He had intended to put some branches at the entrance of the cave to serve as a shelter, but when he reached the entrance, he looked up.
A fiery red streak like a shooting star suddenly streaked across the night sky filled with snow.
"Boss! Shooting star, come and make a wish!"
