Lian Shuiyin thought for a moment, then suddenly put the long sword back into the sheath, gripped the hilt tightly, and took a step forward.
Her eyes were closed, and she was breathing in and out deeply to steady her breath.
Suddenly, accompanied by the crisp sound of the sword being unsheathed, a flash of knife light appeared, and her figure had moved behind Chu Moyin——
I didn't see her draw her sword, but she was already putting it away.
Click.
The sound of a knife falling into its sheath.
Lian Shuiyin turned around gently——
Chu Moyin sat there quietly——
The teacup in his hand had broken into dozens of pieces and fell to the ground.
"How despicable." Chu Moyin sneered with a smile, "You didn't even warn me before you just casually drew your sword. If I hadn't been on guard, I would have been killed by the sword now. How do you want to solve this problem?"
"Are you actually... okay?"
"Of course." Chu Moyin picked up the fragments on the ground: "Didn't I tell you that we are different from families like yours who only care about the show. Compared with the peaceful sword, we pursue moves that can quickly kill people or avoid being killed. So - no matter how suspicious you felt when you saw that scene just now, it is difficult for me to explain it clearly - after all, our original paths of cultivation were different. So your move just now was indeed dangerous, but it also gave me the opportunity to prove my innocence -"
Chu Moyin paused for a moment and smiled, "Thank you very much."
"I see, did I misunderstand?"
Lian Shuiyin bowed to Chu Moyin readily and said, "There was a misunderstanding just now. I apologize for my rude words and for any offense I caused. Please forgive me..."
"No, no, no—" Chu Moyin waved his hands: "I really should reflect on myself. I haven't made much effort to maintain my image in the past—so even though Dongxia and I have done a favor for the Gongyi family, they still dislike me and even doubt me..."
Chu Moyin paused for a moment and said half-jokingly, "But since you've already figured out my weakness this time, don't attack me like this next time. At least you should notify me in advance so I can prepare a suicide note to exonerate you, or leave a plan to make my death a murder in a locked room."
When Chu Moyin was joking, there was no smile on his face, and it was even very faint.
So much so that this joke is more scary than funny.
"But, there's one thing I don't understand..." Lian Shuiyin knelt on the ground. "You're practicing your killer moves against each other. What if one of you loses your form and can't control it, and someone dies?"
"Then we can only accept it." Chu Moyin shrugged and said, "If we always show mercy to each other, then facing a ruthless enemy, it is impossible to win no matter what - so, if we die during practice, it doesn't matter - it's better to say that if it's just at this level, the mortality rate in actual combat is also very high. Rather than dying at the hands of an unrelated person, such a death is acceptable - and if one party accidentally kills the other, it means that the other party's life has come to an end, both in a social sense and in a psychological sense - judging from the current situation, perhaps also in a spiritual sense. Because there are not many people who can accompany each other in such practice, failing to see through the other party's state of mind and accidentally letting the other party die under the knife means cutting off your own path to a higher level in the future..."
