When Lu Wuxiu saw Yan Baibai like this, he immediately regretted asking such a question.
"Look at you, you're so bad at talking, how could a lovely female cultivator like Yan Baibai be willing to be your friend? If it were in my time, no one would pay attention to someone with your personality."
Shi Yan first belittled Lu Wuxiu, then his voice changed in anger and became sarcastic.
"Isn't it obvious why she did this? She likes you! Or... do you want to force us to say the words 'I like you' in vain?"
Lu Wuxiu did not refute Shi Yan's words. He naturally saw the embarrassment and hesitation in Yan Baibai's eyes, but this was not his intention.
"Sister, I don't mean anything else. If you don't want to answer, forget it. This isn't a very important matter, really!"
Lu Wuxiu spoke quickly, fearing that Yan Baibai would continue to be embarrassed.
Yan Baibai's mind was indeed blank. She really couldn't think of what to say. The system's task was issued too suddenly. Whatever she said now would be an excuse. Fortunately, Lu Wuxiu didn't really want an answer. It seemed that he was just asking.
"Thank you, Junior Brother. You are such a good person." Yan Baibai smiled at Lu Wuxiu and changed the subject: "Junior Brother, what is your goal in entering the Treasure Pavilion this time?"
"I'm in need of a magical storage device with a larger space. Since I can enter the Treasure Pavilion this time, I'll give it a try." Lu Wuxiu had no intention of hiding anything. Then he remembered Shi Yan's words about not being able to speak, so he felt that he couldn't just end the conversation. He also tried to ask Yan Baibai, "Senior Sister, what do you want to gain from entering the Treasure Pavilion this time?"
"I'm afraid of pain, so I will look for a defensive magic weapon that suits me." Yan Baibai thought for a while and replied.
"Senior Sister, you will definitely get what you wish for."
"Junior brother, you too."
Xi Yan: "Hey, kid, you're not saying that you want to help Bai Bai find a defensive magic weapon yourself, right?"
System: "Master, tell me the truth, are you planning to find a storage magic weapon for Lu Wuxiu?"
Yan Baibai and Lu Wuxiu: "Shut up!"
Lu Wuxiu and Yan Baibai stopped on a platform on a mountain. They each took back their life sword, and Lu Wuxiu stepped forward to lead the way.
"Sister, the Treasure Pavilion is just ahead. Because the Treasure Pavilion is surrounded by restrictions and formations, it might not be safe to fly with a sword."
Yan Baibai nodded and quickly followed Lu Wuxiu's footsteps. Because the platform where they had stopped their swords was halfway up the mountain, they still had to climb the stairs. For ordinary people, it would take half a day to climb, but they made it up quickly and easily.
Soon, the two arrived at the top of the mountain, where they saw a stone gate. The gate was ten meters high and three meters wide, with complex patterns carved on the stone. A strong pressure came from the gate, preventing the two from moving forward even half a step.
Lu Wuxiu quickly took out Jian Daojun's elder order from the storage bag. Soon, the two felt their bodies lighten. Then, a huge suction force came from the stone gate. The two had no time to react before they were sucked into the stone gate.
When the suction disappeared, Yan Baibai found herself in another world. She was now in a sword pool. The pool and the stone walls were filled with various swords. Some of these swords were rusty, while others looked like they had just been forged.
Before Yan Baibai had the time to look around the sword pool, he felt a sword intent coming towards him. Yan Baibai immediately summoned his life sword to meet it. The sword intent was too clever and Yan Baibai could only defend and dodge. Every time Yan Baibai saw a flaw and wanted to counterattack, the sword intent would always change its direction easily. It seemed to be able to predict every move Yan Baibai was about to make. Soon, Yan Baibai had many wounds on his body.
A feeling of powerlessness as if she was being crushed everywhere surged into Yan Baibai's heart. She found that she had been completely seen through by the opponent. She could not escape the sword intent that was attacking her from all directions. She could only resist the opponent's attacks one step slowly. Slowly, Yan Baibai also discovered the pattern of the opponent's attack, and Yan Baibai immediately perked up.
Yan Baibai quickly focused his attention and tried his best to ignore the pain in his body. He kept calculating the strength and direction of the sword attacking him. Gradually, Yan Baibai blocked every attack, but he only blocked it.
Yan Baibai knew that this was not a long-term solution, but no matter which sword technique she used, the sword intent seemed to understand it very well, and could easily find the weaknesses in the sword technique, and force her to retreat based on the weaknesses.
Yan Baibai thought that this sword intent was left by the predecessors of Yanjian Sect, and it would definitely not work to use Yanjian Sect's swordsmanship to deal with it. Yan Baibai's heart moved, and he forced himself to forget all his previous habits and began to learn the sword intent to deal with it in the way it attacked him.
As the saying goes, only magic can defeat magic. Perhaps Jian Yi hadn't expected Yan Baibai's learning ability to be so strong. Soon, Yan Baibai found that he and Jian Yi had switched positions. He began to attack Jian Yi's way, while Jian Yi resisted with Yan Baibai's way.
Finally, after Yan Baibai's full-strength attack, the sword intent finally dissipated, and Yan Baibai seemed to hear a satisfied laugh.
Yan Baibai opened her eyes again and realized that she was sitting cross-legged by the sword pond. She was not injured. Yan Baibai felt that her mind had expanded and she found that her connection with the sword of life had become closer.
