"Wange, she harbors ill intentions towards you. Back then, on that battlefield, only you and I were left. I don't want to become your enemy one day."
He can remain hidden, he can pretend to be asleep forever, but he will never be an enemy of Wan Ge.
He actually woke up during the competition; the moment the Frost-Sealing Sword broke, the aura of his own kind awakened him.
He woke up to find that he could no longer sense his other brothers and sisters, only Wan Ge.
But her presence seemed to be deliberately concealed. If they hadn't come from the same person and hadn't been together for so many years, Jinming might not have been able to sense Wan Ge's presence at all.
The moment he learned that his companions had survived, Jinming was happy. He had originally wanted to appear before his master and tell her that he was her sword spirit, but he sensed his master's malice towards his sister.
Having lost so many companions, he couldn't afford to lose Wan Ge as well. They shouldn't be fighting each other either, so he ultimately didn't appear before Mu Qingning.
Wan Ge opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything and just sat quietly beside him.
Yes, it was too tragic back then. Now, only the two of them are still alive, and Wan Ge doesn't want to become his enemy.
But was Mu Qingning's malice towards her really that great? Even her brother was so afraid.
Just as Jinming reached out and touched his hair with her fingertips, a force struck his hand directly. Before Jinming could even touch Wan Ge, she withdrew her hand due to the impact and the pain in her hand.
The two turned around together and saw Ying Cizhou standing not far away.
Ying Cizhou's face was gloomy. With such a frightening expression, Wan Ge was reminded of the day she locked herself up.
Ying Cizhou instantly pulled the person into his arms, and Jinming felt that the man in front of her was radiating coldness.
"The spirit of the Subduing Nether Sword." Ying Cizhou's fingers unconsciously tightened a little.
Jinming hadn't expected the other party to see through him at a glance, and he couldn't fathom the power of the person in front of him; what a formidable individual.
"Wange, who is he?" Jinming had been asleep and knew nothing about the outside world.
These past few days, Ying Cizhou hasn't spoken to Mu Qingning, so Jinming doesn't recognize Ying Cizhou.
"Brother, he is my master... Ah..." Wan Ge whispered because her waist was pinched.
"Who do you think I am to you?"
"Husband... my husband."
Jinming paused for a moment upon hearing the form of address Wange used, then glanced at Ying Cizhou a few more times before sighing, "Sword spirits don't know how to love, so why bother?"
Yes, the sword spirit cannot love. That's why the God of War risked his life to protect her so that she could survive. But she didn't understand; she was just following orders.
Then her master died, and she fell into a deep sleep, waiting for a new master.
The God of War loved her for 3,007 years, but he could not win her heart even slightly.
Because they are sword spirits, they only obey their masters and have no emotions.
As for why Jinming has feelings, it's because someone once wanted him to have feelings, reforging him and turning his originally hard heart into a passionate one.
That's why he didn't want to hurt Wan Ge. He had feelings, and even though he knew Wan Ge wouldn't have feelings, he still remembered that they were once comrades-in-arms, brothers and sisters from the same family, and his sister whom he didn't want to hurt.
Ying Cizhou simply said coldly, "The person who planted the seeds of affection in you must have heard what you said before."
Jinming was surprised that he even knew this. But then again, it was normal for someone who recognized him at a glance to know that he had been infected with love threads.
"We should go back." Ying Cizhou picked the person up in his arms.
He stopped halfway through, holding Wan Ge in one arm, and with a flick of his other hand, a beam of light shot straight into Jin Ming's brow.
Jinming's body trembled, and he suddenly felt as if some of the restraints had been released.
"What did you do?" Wan Ge asked softly. Her intuition was always good, and she knew that Ying Cizhou might be unhappy if she asked him this, so she tried to soften her tone and was even a little cautious.
Ying Cizhou also clearly sensed it. Although he disliked Wan Ge being so anxious about other men, he understood that they had known each other for a long time and had a connection, so it was normal for her to care.
"I've loosened some of the restraints on him, so he can move freely even when he's not near the Fuming Sword," Ying Cizhou explained patiently, suppressing his jealousy because he didn't like seeing her so cautious.
…
"Wange, will you treat me as your husband?" Ying Cizhou whispered after returning to the dormitory, her tone full of anticipation.
Wan Ge looked puzzled: "Didn't you say you were my husband?"
She wasn't joking; she answered very seriously, but there was no love in her eyes as he expected.
He knew perfectly well that she was heartless and incapable of feeling anything at that moment, but he still wanted to possess her, even just a little bit.
Ying Cizhou kissed her on the forehead, but ultimately said nothing.
…
Jinming felt that his shackles had been broken, but he wasn't so sure, so he quietly tried to leave Ying Cizhou's immortal palace.
I never expected that he could actually leave. Standing in a corner of a hilltop, I was truly astonished.
Although he didn't know a great deal after waking up, he still learned quite a bit. He knew that the current owner of the Night-Shining Sword was Ying Cizhou, the number one cultivator in the world, an unparalleled powerhouse.
However, although he held the title of Immortal Lord and everyone addressed him as such, he had not actually ascended to immortality. In a sense, while his abilities reached the level of a deity, his body remained human until he ascended. He possessed such formidable power.
Back then, even some gods with the title of supreme deity might not have reached this level. It's truly astonishing. Who exactly is he, and how can he be so powerful? Could he be the reincarnation of some supreme god?
"Who are you?" Gu Nianxi was planning to practice her swordsmanship on the back mountain early tomorrow morning, but she didn't expect to find a strange man here who felt somewhat familiar.
Such a handsome man—Gu Nianxi would definitely remember him if she had actually met him—but he had no recollection of this person.
However, the other party was surrounded by celestial energy and I didn't sense any demonic aura, so they shouldn't be a bad person.
Jinming looked up at Gu Nianxi, her eyelashes trembling slightly, her fingertips quivering. The person in front of her seemed to be...
The person before him looked so much like the god who had stirred his emotions! They looked alike, their auras were similar, and the feeling he got from them was also very similar.
But… Jinming remembered that the other person had long since vanished without a trace, never to be reincarnated. Perhaps it was just an illusion…
