Chapter 37



Xuan Shuzhi's words shocked Hua Shi's mind, and he was unable to recover for a long time. He instinctively reached for his waist and wanted to touch the Lingsha sword that had killed Liu Qishuang. However, when he touched air, he remembered that he had placed the Lingsha sword in the space of the Yunxiu pen.

Because the system said that the Lingsha Sword could be easily exposed and recognized, it was best not to show it to others before his strength became stronger.

He originally thought that he had just chosen Liu Qishuang's sword, which was a kind of fate and inheritance, but when he knew that it was this sword that killed Liu Qishuang, the meaning of this matter had completely changed.

He could never have imagined that Liu Qishuang would die under the Lingsha Sword.

After Xuan Shuzhi finished speaking, seeing that Hua Shi remained silent for a long time, he said, "These are all things I saw with my own eyes. Although I don't know what happened in the room at that time, if you want to ask about Liu Qishuang, the final outcome was like this. As for why Fang Wei did this, no one knows. I only know that after Liu Qishuang died, Fang Wei took action and collapsed the entire defenseless Lingdao headquarters."

Hua Shi frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and did not say anything for a long time.

Xuan Shuzhi patted his shoulder and said, "You don't have to think about what happened so many years ago..."

Before he finished speaking, Hua Shi pursed his lips and said, "No."

Xuan Shuzhi stopped talking, somewhat curious about what Hua Shi meant: "Hmm?"

Hua Shi shook his head and said hurriedly, "I don't know what happened, but I always feel something is wrong. The Lingsha Sword was clearly Liu Qishuang's sword, so why did it fall into Fang Wei's hands, and was used by Fang Wei to kill him? Compared with Fang Wei, is he really so weak that he has no power to fight back and his sword was taken away?"

Xuan Shuzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Liu Qishuang's strength is slightly inferior to that of the evil master Fang Wei, because the evil master has a tenth-level spiritual object, while Liu Qishuang can't even enter the spiritual state."

Hua Shi insisted, "Killing an opponent with his weapon is an insult to the opponent. Although I don't have a good impression of the evil master Fang Wei, I have heard so many stories about him, and I don't think he would do such a thing."

He said this without any hesitation. After he finished speaking, he realized that he was a little too excited. He scratched his head helplessly and explained in a low voice: "I just think this matter is very strange, and I don't know why."

Xuan Shuzhi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when listening to his words. After Hua Shi finished speaking, he smiled and said, "You are right. I was also confused at that time."

Hua Shi hesitated: "What?"

Xuan Shuzhi said: "At that time, Fang Wei led everyone to the Lingdao headquarters, saying that he was looking for something, but when he killed Liu Qishuang, destroyed the Lingdao headquarters and took us away, he never mentioned that thing again."

Hua Shi was a little dazed.

Xuan Shuzhi said: "So sometimes when I think of this incident, I can't help but be curious. What was Fang Wei looking for when he went to the Lingdao headquarters? Did he find it in the end? Was it because of that thing that he killed Liu Qishuang?"

Hua Shi was listening intently and was about to ask again, but Xuan Shuzhi had already put down the teacup in his hand with a smile, stood up and said: "But these things happened a long time ago. Even if we want to investigate, we can't find out, not to mention..."

His eyes moved slightly, and his voice became gentler: "Besides, these two people are no longer here, so it seems meaningless to think about these things."

Hua Shi suddenly stood up: "It's meaningful!"

Xuan Shuzhi turned around and looked at Hua Shi, smiling and saying, "Hmm?"

Hua Shi hesitated for a moment and didn't continue.

Xuan Shuzhi seemed to understand something, and ruffled the boy's hair before turning around and leaving the room: "Okay, I just came to see how you packed your luggage. Now that it's almost done, go to bed early. When you go to Xuanling Pavilion in the future, it will be very hard to practice."

Hua Shi was still thinking about something when he suddenly heard Xuan Shuzhi say that cultivation was hard. His face immediately fell: "Master, can you lower the difficulty a bit?"

Xuan Shuzhi couldn't help laughing and walked out the door: "That depends on your performance."

He just left like that, leaving Hua Shi wailing dejectedly in the room.

Fang Wei looked at this scene, and while she found it funny, she couldn't help but feel a little pleased.

When Hua Shi came into Xuan Shuzhi's hands, he was like entering a dragon's den and a tiger's school. Although Xuan Shuzhi looked gentle and easy to get along with, he was very strict in teaching his disciples. This was why Fang Wei felt it was a good idea when he knew Hua Shi had chosen Xuan Shuzhi. Letting Xuan Shuzhi train him would allow him to do much more than what he could do with his current appearance.

However, as he thought about this, he still couldn't help feeling a little surprised, because he originally thought that Hua Shi's inexplicable concern for Liu Qishuang was just a momentary interest, but he didn't expect that Hua Shi would think of so many things just because of Xuan Shuzhi's simple narration.

It was indeed as Hua Shi said, what happened at the Lingdao headquarters was indeed strange, but for various reasons, he had never mentioned those strange things to anyone, not even Lu Yao and Ji Yuan.

Why was Hua Shi able to notice these?

However, just as Fang Wei was thinking about these things, Hua Shi had already walked out of the shadow of "hard training". He returned to his bed and sat down, took out the Lingsha Sword from the space of the Yunxiu Pen, and held it in his hand to look at it carefully.

"Spiritual Sand Sword." Hua Shi fixed his eyes on the sword's edge and could not help but whispered, "It was this sword that took his life."

He drew the sword out of the scabbard, then put it back again, repeating the action, muttering, "But today, after listening to what Pavilion Master Xuanling said, things don't seem that simple. He said that it's been so long, and the person is no longer alive. We can't find out even if we want to, but I actually have a way to find out."

The sword was sheathed again. Hua Shi stroked the scabbard with his fingertips and said quickly, "As long as I go to that room again, I will know what happened in the room that day."

Fang Wei listened to Hua Shi's murmurs and soon understood what solution he had come up with.

It's Huiguang Pearl.

As long as he uses the power of the Huiguang Pearl, he will be able to see what has happened in the room.

"I must find a way to go back to Ningshan again." Hua Shi said this and couldn't help laughing again. His tone was much more relaxed than before: "It seems that I am very close to the truth."

Fang Wei didn't know whether it was a good thing to let Hua Shi know the truth, but now it seems that letting things take their course is also a good choice.

He decided that if Hua Shi wanted to investigate, he would not stop him.

After Hua Shi finished thinking about these things, the luggage in the room was almost packed. He took off his coat, turned off the lights, lay on the bed and finally prepared to fall asleep.

The room suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of his breathing. In this silence, Hua Shi, who was half asleep and half awake, suddenly heard a whistling sound coming from the empty night far away outside the restaurant.

Hua Shi was still sleepy and could not react for a moment. He turned over and huddled in the quilt, and asked the system: "Hmm...what's wrong?"

Fang Wei only had his spiritual consciousness and no body, so he would not fall asleep. When the noise occurred, he already felt something was wrong, so he quickly responded: "The sound came from the square."

Hua Shi still hadn't woken up completely, and asked in a daze: "Square? What's wrong? Those people haven't left yet. Are they going to stay in the square to dance?"

Fang Wei found it funny and explained, "The gate to the Spirit Realm was just opened in the square, and it is not completely closed yet. It seems that something is trying to come out from inside."

Hua Shi was stunned for a moment: "Ah?"

Before Fang Wei could say anything, she suddenly heard another voice: "It's that guy again! Go close the gate to the spirit realm and don't let it out!"

This is the voice of an evil spirit.

Ever since the evil spirit formed a pact with Hua Shi, it has always stayed within Hua Shi's soul. However, perhaps because he was afraid that he would get angry after watching Hua Shi's cowardly words and deeds for too long, he would choose to sleep most of the time, and would only appear on his own initiative at the critical moment when something really happened.

And now that he has appeared, things must not be that simple.

Hua Shi couldn't hear the evil spirit's voice, so he was speaking to Fang Wei. Fang Wei didn't know much about the Spirit Realm, but after hearing this, she couldn't help but guess, "Who is 'that guy' you're talking about?"

The evil spirit said, "He's the guy who caused many of the spirit creatures in the spirit realm to become restless this time."

It turned out to be just as I thought.

Fang frowned slightly, released his spiritual power, and soon found out the situation on the other side of the square.

"Ji Yuan is trying to close the gate to the spiritual realm, but the other party is too powerful, and there are other uncontrolled spiritual creatures inside trying to resist. I'm afraid he won't be able to close it with his own strength." Fang Wei told the evil spirit about the situation there.

The evil spirit shouted anxiously, "Is there no one left in their spiritual path? If one person can't do it, then bring in more people! What are the others doing?"

Fang Wei: “…”

He was yelled at by the evil spirit, and it took him a while to find an opportunity to respond: "The method of opening and closing the gate of the spirit realm is a secret method that only the master of the spirit path can master. Now only Ji Yuan, the master of the spirit path, can use it. Even if others want to help, they are powerless."

The evil spirit ignored all this and remained furious: "Just watch? Don't you have any way to deal with it? If that guy comes out, the entire Xuanqing Continent will not be at peace! Is there no one else who can close the gate to the Spirit Realm except that guy named Ji Yuan?"

Fang Wei quickly calmed the evil spirit. His spiritual sense continued to focus on the movements at the other end of the square. He noticed that many people had heard the noise and rushed over there. He continued to calm the evil spirit, "There are still people who can help."

The evil spirit slowed down his rage and asked, "Who?"

"Liu Qishuang, who was the temporary master of the Spiritual Path."

The evil spirit asked suspiciously, "Didn't Xuan Shuzhi just say that he was dead?"

Fang Wei paused: "Weren't you asleep before?"

The evil spirit immediately argued: "I didn't eavesdrop! I just happened to hear it!"

Fang smiled and said nothing more, "I am Liu Qishuang."

Evil spirit: “…”

Fang Wei did not waste any more time. He said sorry to Hua Shi helplessly. The situation was urgent and he had no chance to trick Hua Shi into lending him his body. He could only use it first and then find a way to explain and apologize.

He used the remaining spiritual power to control Hua Shi's body, quickly changed his clothes, opened the window of the room, and quickly rushed towards the square.

There was a constant sound of wind in his ears and Fang Wei moved very quickly. He knew that he had just used up his strength not long ago and had little strength left. He would not have much time left to move freely in this body this time, so he had to save time and complete his goal as soon as possible.

While on the road, he heard the evil spirit say, "You can use his body to enter the spiritual state. If you don't have enough strength, I will help you."

Fang Wei nodded without stopping.

The evil spirit was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Are you really Liu Qishuang?"

Fang Wei didn't need to hide it from the evil spirit: "I have used this identity before."

The evil spirit also reacted at this time: "I remember you also have another identity, the evil master Fang Wei."

Fang Wei said: "Yes."

The evil spirit paused for a moment but couldn't help but asked, "Are you sick? Are you killing yourself?"

Fang Wei: “…”
