Although Senior Jiuye said that he was forced into the path of reincarnation, I always feel that... at least that's not entirely the case.
"Maybe I'm being mean-spirited, but Senior Jiuye really doesn't want another chance to live, and instead sincerely helps me and Song Jinnian?"
Su Han's speculation was well-founded, and his concerns were completely understandable, straightforward and clear.
But Jiuye and Su Han, as different consciousnesses of the same soul, felt a variety of emotions besides the cautious and tentative ones in Su Han's words.
Jiu Ye was a little surprised that Su Han had so many complicated emotions, but he didn't seem that surprised. After all, he had said before that he didn't care about his own life or death, but he cared about that kid Song Jinnian.
Jiuye's attitude concerns Song Jinnian's life and death, so it is understandable that Su Han has so many complicated emotions.
Thinking of this, Jiuye replied in a deliberately bad tone.
[That's right, you are using your mean mind to steal the belly of a gentleman.]
He originally thought that what he said would make Su Han show more emotions, but he didn't expect that Su Han's emotions returned to a calm state because of his words.
[I'm sorry, Senior Jiuye, I misunderstood you. I hope you can tolerate and understand.]
Seeing that he looked bored, Jiuye stopped teasing him and started explaining seriously.
[Actually...I did have some selfish thoughts at the beginning, wanting to live a good life with Huaizhi.]
[Before, because of his and my identities, we both lived insecure lives, and the burden on our shoulders was heavy... Did you know about the second war between humans and demons?]
Su Han recalled for a moment and found the relevant information in his mind.
[I know, but...it seemed like the most peaceful war in history.]
[Historical records show that the Demon King and the leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect perished together in the end. Afterwards, a peace agreement was signed, and both the human and demon races went to recuperate.]
Su Han repeated it and suddenly realized something was wrong.
【Could it be...? 】
[Well, at the time, he was the Demon King, and I was the head of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. He and I simply found an excuse to enter the cycle of reincarnation, and there was no such thing as us dying together.]
Jiuye's tone was mixed with a hint of nostalgia when he said this.
[Senior Jiuye, do you like the Wanjian Sect so much? Even after reincarnation, you will arrange for me to go to the Wanjian Sect?]
Su Han's focus is quite peculiar.
"I didn't arrange for you to go to the Wanjian Sect. This was your own choice. So why do you think this way?"
Jiuye explained calmly to prove his innocence, then asked curiously.
[Because of the influence of the Path of Reincarnation, Song Jinnian and I were bound to meet sooner or later, and the best time for us to meet was in the Wanjian Sect. That's why I thought my joining the Wanjian Sect was a deliberate arrangement.]
[It may not be arranged by the seniors, but I think it may be arranged by fate.]
[Don't worry about this. Becoming a sword cultivator and joining the Ten Thousand Swords Sect were all your own choices. While the path of reincarnation can allow contracted parties to meet, it can only create chance encounters at certain times.]
[I see. My understanding of the path of reincarnation is not deep enough, and I misunderstood you. I apologize.]
Su Han's tone was so sincere that Jiu Ye didn't know how to respond.
In Su Han's mind, was he such a moody and easily angered person? He had to apologize to him from time to time, even for such a small matter.
Jiuye thought helplessly, then straightened his face and spoke in a serious tone again.
[Let's not talk about this for now. We have limited time, and we have to complete the first three steps before Huaizhi notices, so we have to do it as soon as possible.]
【Um.】
Su Han responded and subconsciously glanced at Song Jinnian next to him.
Song Jinnian accepted the fact that Su Han just looked at him and didn't speak. After all, Su Han often did this, so he didn't find anything unusual.
[Now follow my instructions and go somewhere... Bring Song Jinnian with you. Be careful not to be discovered by Huai Zhi in Song Jinnian's body. It's best not to arouse Song Jinnian's suspicion. Find a suitable excuse.]
Jiuye's unyielding voice came into Su Han's mind, and along with his voice came a map compiled in his sea of consciousness using his mental power.
But that map is different from those on the market. It only provides a general outline and route, but does not show the specific destination.
Su Han used his mental power to take a look at the map, then looked at Song Jinnian's face again.
Make up a suitable excuse to avoid Song Jinnian's suspicion...
Su Han is not good at lying, and he doesn't know whether his lies will be exposed, but he can only take a gamble.
"Song Jinnian, I actually took on a sect mission in the Wanjian Sect before. It requires two people to work together to complete it. You and I will go..."
"Okay, okay!"
Before Su Han finished speaking, Song Jinnian agreed with anticipation.
"This is the first time Brother Su Han and I are doing a mission together! Do I need to prepare anything? Like buying more pills or something like that?"
Su Han pretended to be thinking, but actually he was secretly asking Jiu Ye in his heart.
[Senior Jiuye, is there anything I need to prepare before leaving? ]
【unnecessary.】
Jiuye’s reply this time was quite quick.
After getting Jiuye's reply, Su Han replied to Song Jinnian seriously.
"No, just follow my instructions."
"Oh, fine. I won't prepare anything, but... I'm excited just thinking about going on a mission with Brother Su Han."
Su Han looked at Song Jinnian nodding so obediently, and his originally slightly stiff body slowly relaxed, and his eyes became slightly softer.
What was he worried about just now? He knew very well that as long as it was something he proposed, no matter what it was or how unreasonable it was, Song Jinnian would accept it completely.
If he didn't want to explain, Song Jinnian wouldn't have asked, because he clearly knew...
Su Han didn't think about it anymore, but looked at Song Jinnian and asked for his opinion.
"So, should we set off now, or wait for an hour to rest?"
Su Han asked this question completely out of selfish motives, the kind of question he asked without even thinking.
Song Jinnian was somewhat flattered. "Is there another choice?"
"Well, it's up to you."
Su Han nodded. Although Senior Jiuye said that time was very tight, he should still be able to wait for an hour.
"Then let's set off immediately. I can't wait."
Song Jinnian spoke directly without hesitation for a second.
"Well, remember to follow me closely."
Su Han gave some instructions and left without even waiting.
Song Jinnian reacted and exclaimed, and quickly followed Su Han's figure...
