"Why?"
Hearing this, Chi Lian showed a hurt expression, "Boss, are you abandoning me?"
"No," Jiang Deng explained, "Nangong Xiangrui, the head of the Nangong family, is also my friend. Now that Patriarch Xiahou has sent people to encircle the Nangong family, I can't just sit back and watch. So, I plan to go to the Nangong family first, and then go to Jiange in half a month. This will not violate the agreement between you and me."
Chi Lian breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, so that's how it is. Since Nangong Xiangrui is in trouble, I can't just sit back and watch. I'll go with you!"
"Need not."
Jiang Deng shook his head and said, "Just focus on your own business. Nangong Xiangrui's mother is also very powerful. We will not fail."
"……OK."
Chi Lian remembered that he had already made an appointment with the cultivator over there to discuss matters tonight, and it was indeed difficult to break the appointment. At worst, he could just wait until she heard that the Nangong family was in trouble and rush over. Anyway, she could travel faster.
"Since we are all leaving, it's a good idea to go together."
The three of them stood up and went downstairs.
Jiang Deng came to the counter to pay, and touched the spirit stone he was about to give away reluctantly.
The spirit stones were so cute, but she wanted to give them away... What a sin!
After some psychological preparation, Jiang Deng finally handed over 10,000 high-quality spirit stones, but unexpectedly the shopkeeper opposite refused to accept them.
"Masters, you don't have to pay for this meal. Consider it our Immortal Restaurant's treat. All you need to do is promote our restaurant in the future."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper had a very flattering smile on his face. It was obvious that he wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with Chi Lian.
Jiang Deng didn't expect that she didn't have to pay for the meal even though she had agreed to treat everyone!
There is such a good thing in the world!
"Boss, you are such a good person! Don't worry, we will definitely promote you!"
Jiang Deng agreed happily, and then left the restaurant and headed out of the city with the farewell of the shopkeeper and others.
Thinking that he was able to eat for free this time thanks to Chi Lian, even Jiang Deng, who was always shameless, felt a little embarrassed.
"Chi Lian, that..."
Jiang Deng thought of something, "I remember you said at the Sword Discussion Conference that you wanted to take back the Red Refining Sword from Duan Chuan, right? Coincidentally, I found it when Duan Chuan died, so I'm going to give it back to you."
As he spoke, Jiang Deng's consciousness sank into the Eight Gates World.
Since coming in, the Chilian Sword has been behaving itself well and keeping silent, but the Zhisha Sword is different.
It felt that the connection between itself and Duan Chuan was broken. The Killing Sword realized that its master was really dead now, and it was crying every moment.
As soon as Jiang Deng's consciousness entered the Eight Gates World, the noise made his ears hurt.
“Stop crying!”
After being yelled at by Jiang Deng, Zhishajian felt so wronged, "You evil man, you killed my master, and can't I just cry? Wuuuuuu... My poor master!"
Jiang Deng: “…”
How come the third apprentice's natal sword is as annoying as its master?
Considering how iconic the Killing Sword is, everyone in the Ten Realms knows that it is Duan Chuan's natal sword. If she uses the Killing Sword again, wouldn't it reveal that she was the one who killed Duan Chuan?
Jiang Deng would naturally not make such a low-level mistake.
Rather than leaving it to gather ashes in her hands, it would be better to give it to Chi Lian.
After all, Chi Lian is the master of weapons and is best at refining spiritual swords. There should be a way to reshape the Killing Sword. Thinking of this, Jiang Deng took out the Killing Sword.
"I'll give them all to you."
Jiang Deng generously handed the two swords to Chi Lian.
Seeing Jiang Deng casually taking out the Chi Lian Sword and the Zhi Sha Sword, the smile on Chi Lian's face was a little strange.
Jiang Deng said that she picked up this sword after Duan Chuan died?
It would be fine if he only had the top-grade Heavenly Grade Red Refining Sword, but would the murderer be so kind as to also leave behind the Heavenly Grade Supreme Grade Spiritual Sword, the Killing Sword?
Why did she have such a strong feeling that Duan Chuan was killed by Jiang Deng...
Thinking of this, Chi Lian was extremely glad that she did not look down on Jiang Deng, and their relationship was still as good as before.
“…Boss, you’re awesome!”
Chi Lian praised and took the two swords.
Seeing the familiar Chi Lian Sword again, Chi Lian gently stroked the red blade of the Chi Lian Sword, feeling the burning sensation on the sword, and couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.
This sword came from her hand.
As if sensing a familiar aura, the usually taciturn sword spirit of the Red Refining Sword suddenly spoke in a childish voice, "Mother, baby finally sees you!"
“…”
This sentence shocked Jiang Deng who was standing beside him.
Chi Lian chuckled and explained, "The first person she saw after she gained intelligence was me, so naturally she thought of me as her mother. In fact, it's almost the same."
As she spoke, Chi Lian touched the hilt of the Chi Lian Sword, as if stroking the sword spirit's head. "Good boy, I'm so happy to see you again. Now that you've grown up, it's time to leave me and be independent. Follow your Aunt Jiang and explore the Ten Realms."
"Uh-huh!"
Chi Lianjian agreed without any hesitation.
As a top-grade spiritual sword of the heavenly rank, it was looking for a genius swordsman to be its master from the moment it was born. Later, it was given to Duan Chuan by Pei Yu as a sword.
However, Duan Chuan had the Killing Sword as his natal sword, and rarely used other swords. He kept it in his storage bag all day long, and it spent hundreds of years in loneliness.
That night in the Human Emperor Palace, Duan Chuan took it out of the storage bag. Although its owner was Duan Chuan at the time, after witnessing Jiang Deng perform several sword moves he created, Chi Lianjian began to admire Jiang Deng.
In its opinion, Jiang Deng's level in swordsmanship is even higher than that of the Sword Master Duan Chuan!
Now it is naturally happy to follow Jiang Deng, even if it is just to serve as a sword.
"ah?"
Jiang Deng didn't expect Chi Lian to actually return the Chi Lian Sword to her. She was a little stunned. "This sword is the first Heavenly Grade Spiritual Sword you have ever refined. It means a lot to you. You really don't want it?"
Chi Lian pretended to be profound and said, "It's not that I don't want her, it's Chi Lianjian who wants to follow you. Since she calls me mother, I have to consider the problem from her perspective."
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Chi Lianjian also echoed, "Baby wants to follow Aunt Jiang!"
“…”
Instead, Jiang Deng was confused.
It was she who killed the original owner of the Chi Lian Sword, so why would the Chi Lian Sword want to follow her?
Didn’t you see that Zhishajian, who also served the third disciple as her master, almost hated her to death?
"Ginger Lantern!"
Just as he thought of this, the Killing Sword beside him started to make a noise, shouting Jiang Deng's name and commanding: "I don't care, you must take me back quickly. I will mourn for my master for three hundred years. I will not recognize anyone else as my master before the mourning period is over!"
