Chapter 102 The Eldest Disciple of the Joyous Union Sect VS Grandmaster Guangfeng Jiyue 19
Xu Wenye stopped in his tracks.
Helian Mu said, "My elder sister hates trouble the most. If you send it over, she will definitely accept it, and may even thank you with a smile. However, she really doesn't like osmanthus. I don't know why you misunderstood her preferences."
Helian Mu pretended to ponder for a moment, then said, "Most of the time she's too lazy to explain. When others ask her if she likes something, she'll just say 'yes' without thinking."
"They're all unrelated people anyway, so if they misunderstand, so be it. It's much easier this way. If they answer 'I don't like it,' I'll have to waste a lot of time explaining."
Xu Wenye tilted his head slightly and said, word by word, "It seems that your younger brother understands her very well. I hope your sibling relationship will always be this good."
After saying that, he left immediately.
Hehuan Peak.
Jiang Zhiyi was studying how to use the spirit beast, with several ordinary swords and spirit-slaying weapons placed beside her.
"Why are you here?" she asked.
"I brought you some food." He took out the osmanthus cake and placed it where she could easily reach it.
"Thank you." She smiled.
Xu Wenye's hand tightened.
What that person said was true.
She didn't even look up to see what he had brought before she smiled and thanked him.
"Don't bother me these next few days. I'll come find you after I've dealt with the sword spirit."
"Don't you need my help?" Xu Wenye felt he could be of a lot of help to her.
"No need, no need, I can handle it myself, and I want to try it myself." She refused outright.
This is a bit unlike her.
In the past, she would definitely push all the things she could have done onto him, and then go off to slack off herself.
"Then should I leave my broken thoughts here?" he asked.
She didn't want him to be there, and he could use his mind-breaking ability to monitor her situation.
Jiang Zhiyi thought for a moment and still refused, saying, "No need, Po Nian can stay with you."
The two stayed there for a long time, and Jiang Zhiyi asked him many other questions about the sword spirit.
Xu Wenye noticed that in all that time, she had only touched half a piece of pastry.
In the past, she could finish half a plate of other snacks in no time, just like a little hamster.
It's clear that she really doesn't like it.
"Don't you like it? How about we try something different next time?" he asked casually.
"I like it, I like it." Jiang Zhiyi glanced at the book in her hand and casually brushed him off.
"You go back first, I need to focus on my research." Jiang Zhiyi stood up and kissed his cheek.
"good."
...
A few more days passed.
Jiang Zhiyi entered Lingzhong Palace excitedly.
"Xu Wenye, I have a sword spirit now!" she called out as soon as she entered the room.
Jiang Zhiyi took out an ordinary sword and then commanded the sword spirit within it.
Xu Wenye frowned: "What about the Spirit Slayer? Why not use it to generate the sword spirit?"
An ordinary sword is far inferior to the Spirit-Slaying Sword, and he remembered that there were many swords on her table that day, including the Spirit-Slaying Sword.
Jiang Zhiyi smiled broadly and said, "Guess! Don't you recognize this sword?"
Xu Wenye held the sword and examined it closely, when suddenly he remembered something.
Long ago, she was peeking over the wall of Lingzhong Palace when he casually plucked a leaf to knock her down. Sensing the danger, she drew her sword to block it.
Unfortunately, her cultivation level was too weak. Even though he only used a little force, the leaf directly broke her sword.
She came to Lingzhong Palace to cause trouble, demanding that he compensate her for her sword. She kept crying as she spoke, looking very aggrieved.
Seeing how pitiful she was, he casually gave her a sword, and only then did she leave satisfied.
“My favorite sword is still this one, so I used it to create a sword spirit. And I even gave it a very nice name!” She looked at him with bright, sparkling eyes.
"What's your name?" he asked cooperatively.
“Thinking of the Way! Thinking of the Way, isn’t that a nice sound?” Jiang Zhiyi’s voice was tinged with pride.
Seeing that Xu Wenye seemed to enjoy it, Jiang Zhiyi smiled and said, "It sounds very good."
late at night.
Xu Wenye left Lingzhong Palace and went directly to Jiang Zhiyi's room on Hehuan Peak.
There are some things he needs to confirm personally.
When he gave her the Spirit-Slaying Sword, he was worried that she wouldn't be able to control it and might be injured by its sword energy, so he specially placed a protective barrier on it.
Now, for some reason, this restriction is broken, and he can no longer sense the presence of the Spirit Slayer.
Upon entering the room, Xu Wenye glanced around and spotted a sword box piled in the corner.
Upon opening it, one finds the broken Spirit-Slaying Sword.
He examined it carefully and concluded that the sword broke because he had tried to forcefully summon the sword spirit but failed.
The Spirit-Slaying Sword is a rare spiritual sword; in fact, it's easier for it to develop a sword spirit than ordinary swords, unless...
The swordsman's heart is not pure.
Those who practice improperly will naturally not receive spiritual objects.
No wonder she didn't want him around those days; she was afraid he would notice these strange things.
More importantly, she lied to him.
All those touching words were fake; she just made them up on the spot to deceive him.
Xu Wenye put the broken sword away and returned it to its original place.
He returned to Lingzhong Palace.
Jiang Zhiyi was still asleep, looking very well-behaved, so he lay back down on the bed.
Perhaps because he still carried some of the chill from outside, Jiang Zhiyi suddenly woke up.
"You just went out?" she asked vaguely, not fully awake.
“I’ve always been here,” he denied.
"Oh," she replied, and went back to sleep.
The surroundings were eerily quiet.
The bright moon cast a soft glow on the ground, and the faint fragrance of osmanthus blossoms wafted through the hall.
He always thought she really liked that osmanthus tree.
Xu Wenye recalled the talisman that had been burned to ashes that night, and the broken spirit-slaying sword in the sword box just now...
for a long time.
“Liar,” he suddenly blurted out.
"Hmm... what were you saying just now?" Jiang Zhiyi wasn't completely asleep yet, and only vaguely heard him talking, but unfortunately she didn't hear him clearly at all, so she came to ask him.
“He didn’t say anything,” he replied.
"Hold me tight," Jiang Zhiyi said instinctively, trying to be affectionate.
Xu Wenye hugged her tighter, making her more comfortable. Now she was almost entirely lying on top of him, in an extremely intimate position.
"I love you." He kissed the top of her head.
