The system asked in confusion: "Host, what's going on? Can't you choose a sword that suits you? How about we try somewhere else?"
Chen Yao pursed her lips, looked at the swords scattered around, and whispered to the system: "I don't know why, but I do feel that most of the swords here once had owners. Later, their owners were gone, so they returned here."
As she spoke, she continued walking forward.
In a trance, a hazy image flashed through her mind. In that image, there seemed to be a female general in battle clothes, holding a magic sword in her hand, always rushing at the front of the team.
(This short clip of the heroine before she falls from the sky is not the background of this small world of cultivation, but the background of the entire book. It is just a foreshadowing here, and will be described in detail in the finale of the book. P.S. I also buried a similar foreshadowing in Chapter 66.)
Amidst the flames and fierce fighting, the blurry female general finally fell in a pool of blood. The sword in her hand also lost its light and soul in an instant and fell with her.
At the moment she fell, her hands were trembling as she protected her abdomen, as if she was... protecting something very important.
Afterwards, a new image flashed through Chen Yao's mind. It was a godlike man who sacrificed his most important heart, while whispering: [Yun Yao, wait for me...]
Chen Yao didn't know why these blurry images flashed through her mind.
Moreover, these scenes made her feel so sad, as if they were really happening to her.
The system sensed her emotional fluctuations and upon closer inspection, saw that her eyes were already red.
But it didn't know why she was like this, and thought she was frustrated because she couldn't find a suitable sword, so it comforted her: "Master, it's okay, we just need to keep looking, we will find it eventually."
Chen Yao lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.
Maybe it’s because the swords in this sword tomb all have some stories behind them, and she was affected by them, which led to such emotional fluctuations.
…
Outside the entrance of the Sword Tomb.
Junze had been waiting for about half an hour, but still no sign of Chen Yao coming out.
He frequently glanced toward the entrance, hoping everything would go well for her.
At this moment, Qu Jing suddenly appeared.
He walked up to Junze and said with a smile, "Junze, you are here as expected."
Jun Ze was absent-minded at the moment, so he said lightly: "You have something to talk to me about?"
Qu Jing nodded, then took out a tightly wrapped object from his body, placed it in front of him, and said mysteriously: "Guess... what is this?"
Junze: "Just say it."
Qu Jing didn't keep the secret any longer and said bluntly, "Didn't you ask me to help you find the antidote to the Hehuan Sect's Heart-Eating Charm? This little thing is the Heart-Eating Charm."
Junze raised his eyes and looked at what he was holding in his hand, as if he was trying to identify something.
Qu Jing immediately said, "Don't disbelieve me, this is real, a genuine heart-eating poison. I finally got it with great difficulty. Don't look at it as it's only a small amount, it's actually very toxic.
Besides, with this, isn't it all settled? Give this little gadget to Xu Lin and let him study the ingredients and the antidote. Isn't it just a matter of time?"
Junze then took the things and said, "Well, thank you."
Qu Jing raised an eyebrow: "What? You no longer doubt the authenticity of things?"
Jun Ze thought of Zi Yue, the poisoner Chen Yao had told him about before, and replied, "I can use someone else to test whether it's true or not."
Qu Jing's body trembled, and he said tremblingly: "There is no antidote for this poison yet, so you must not use anyone close to you to test the poison."
Junze felt strange: "Why are you panicking? I won't use you to test it."
Qu Jing patted his chest: "That's good, then I feel relieved."
Junze: ...
I don't know what he usually thinks about.
Qu Jing deliberately changed the subject and asked Jun Ze, "By the way, how long have you been waiting for your apprentice here?"
Junze: "It should be half an hour."
Qu Jing: "So long? Still not healed? It seems that the sword she took must be extraordinary, just like you did back then."
Junze: "I hope she can choose one sooner rather than later. The quality of a sword has nothing to do with the time of selection."
Qu Jing: "That's right, I was in and out quickly at the beginning, and I got the sword in no time, but it didn't affect my ability to use the sword."
Jun Ze suddenly said, "Well, it works quite well. It was quite effective when I was chopping those dying branches and leaves on the top of Tianyu Mountain."
Qujing: ...
How dare he mention it?
Every time he was asked to help keep an eye on the situation, he was unable to stop the Master who suddenly appeared, and then...
The master grabbed his ear and scolded him, telling him not to set his sights on the cypress trees again.
It is obvious that he is very sensible every time and only touches the branches that are about to die and some branches that grow abruptly and need to be pruned later. He will never touch the main trunk and some strong branches.
But despite this, the master was still worried about him, fearing that he might make a mistake and cut down the wrong part of his precious cypress tree.
In fact, he never made a mistake and even saved his master a lot of trouble, so that he didn't have to go through the trouble of trimming the trees again.
Moreover, he later learned his lesson and quietly pulled Junze to the front to block the bullets. After all, the old man was always reluctant to scold his most precious disciple.
But after he shifted the conflict to Junze, the master continued to pull his ears and said, "Junze doesn't look like a greedy person. How could he come to this mountaintop to pluck my precious tree just for a few pieces of bacon?"
Whenever that happened, Junze would come out and confess: "Master, I did participate, and I also ate the meat we smoked with these dead branches."
Then the master continued to hold him tightly.
Recalling the past, Qu Jing felt that it was really unfair. Why had Junze never had his ears pulled?
But what he didn't know was that Junze had been pulled by Chen Yao's ears several times in the past few days.
And the scenes of being pulled are very similar every time. In short... cough cough cough... it’s unspeakable.
…
—————————
Ahem… As for why someone's ears were pulled, it was because someone was greedy and only cared about their work…
System: Being pulled by the ears is considered good, be content, Junze. The host has kicked people in bed before.
Junze: Yeah.
Junze: Wait, what do you mean by kicking someone? Has she had sex with someone else?
System: ...It's hard to explain...
