Chapter 19
==================
Ning Chen said: "I know, just give up the sword and leave the rest to me."
Xie Tingyun: "..."
Okay.
Since he wanted to do this, Xie Tingyun had no choice.
Xie Tingyun turned his head away and whispered, "Let go first..."
Ning Chen hummed, and seeing that Xie Tingyun had softened and finally got back at him, she let him go in a good mood.
Xie Tingyun rubbed his wrist with a puzzled look on his face.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Tianxiao, he always does such shocking things.
In the past, he only knew that Tian Xiao had an eccentric and capricious personality, and that he only knew how to cause trouble for him. In the past, when he was picking on him for a disagreement, he didn't necessarily have so much to say.
I didn't expect that he has such a weird and unpredictable temperament. Even though he has almost become a senior demon, his actions are still unpredictable.
The way he is childish and naughty, and he enjoys it so much, is really annoying.
Ning Chen was like a cat that had been fed. He wagged his tail happily when he was satisfied. He said pretentiously, "Please?"
It is now late at night. The cold moon is hanging high above the thin clouds outside the window. The hazy moonlight shines through the yellowed window paper and falls on the ground, bringing in only the sound of cicadas, making the place seem even quieter.
After applying medicine, Xie Tingyun no longer feels any pain in the wound on his left chest. It must be said that the village chief's medicine is indeed very effective. Although he cannot recover all at once, Xie Tingyun can now move freely and no longer suffers from severe pain caused by the old injury.
Xie Tingyun took a deep breath and opened the door silently.
When he returned to the room, the village chief and his family had already gone to bed.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep, so it was not a good idea to disturb anyone. Fortunately, the guest bedroom was not connected to the master bedroom, so Xie Tingyun and his friends did not have to alarm the host when they came out from this side.
Ning Chen followed behind him and closed the door silently.
They walked all the way to the yard. The door of the village chief's house was locked. The courtyard wall was nearly two meters high, and the top of the thick wall was flat.
This distance was indeed nothing to the Supreme of the Demon Realm and the Holy Son of the Human Race. The two of them used their hands and feet to flip out nimbly and landed lightly and silently.
Before leaving, Ning Chen looked back. The light in the master bedroom was off, the door was closed, and there was no sound. He must have been asleep.
Don't say that, even though the stinky old man said it was useless, Ning Chen no longer felt any pain after the painful medicine had dripped onto the wound. Perhaps it was also due to the effect of the anesthetic. He climbed over the wall easily without feeling much pain. Ning Chen looked and could see that the flesh on the side of his body was slowly healing and beginning to form a scab.
Xie Tingyun walked in front. He looked around for a while, confirmed the direction he came from, and then walked in the opposite direction.
The Wind Riding Sword is in the stone wall above the Endless Forest. If you want to reach the distance for forced recall, you can only go in the opposite direction.
Fortunately, after falling from the Merciless Ghost Rift, they walked a long distance before reaching the exit of the Endless Forest. There was also a distance from the exit of the Endless Forest to Pingjing Village. Xie Tingyun estimated that the remaining distance was almost enough. They might be able to recall the Riding Wind Sword by walking around in the village.
Pingjing Village is located close to a mountain, and the endless forest nearby is not a safe place. This place is rarely visited by people, and the emergence of a village with dozens of people was beyond Xie Tingyun's expectations.
The walls of the surrounding buildings were old and weathered, probably because they were quite old. Every door was closed and there were no living things on the streets. It looked quite desolate and deserted.
In the dead of night, the only lights in front of me were the blood-red lanterns hanging quietly on the roofs of some houses and the moonlight obscured by thin clouds. Apart from these, there were no other light sources.
Fortunately, neither of them needed to rely on external light sources to see. Xie Tingyun walked in front, and Ning Chen lagged behind him by half a body length. The two of them walked towards the depths of the village, one in front and one behind.
The surrounding environment was too quiet. The road in front of them twisted and turned and no one knew where it led. Ning Chen was frightened at the sight and thought that if Xie Tingyun just left him here, he would have to turn the whole village upside down if he wanted to go back to the village chief's house.
This kind of winding road is the most troublesome for people with a love for directions. Ning Chen hates this kind of road the most in his life. Walking on it is like entering a maze, and he can't figure it out no matter how he goes back and forth.
But then he thought, Xie Tingyun's natal sword would be in his hand by then, Ning Chen suddenly felt more confident and became more confident again.
He was bored and said, "Hey, Saint Xie, can you walk back in a while after taking such a detour?"
Xie Tingyun didn't understand why he asked that for a moment, and just said in confusion: "Of course I can. Why do you say that?"
Ning Chen felt relieved and said with satisfaction: "That's good. You won't be unable to find the way back and I will have to take you back again."
Xie Tingyun: "..."
Here it comes again, this is what it means to find fault for no reason.
Xie Tingyun was helpless and ignored him.
As he spoke, Xie Tingyun paused, raised his head, and looked in the direction of the endless forest in the distance.
The distance for forced recall has arrived...
At that moment, Xie Tingyun felt that his consciousness had reconnected to the Chengfeng Sword that was deeply embedded in the stone wall in the distance. Perhaps it was embedded too deeply, and the Chengfeng Sword had wasted a lot of energy in pulling him out of the stone wall.
Not long after, a cold light suddenly appeared above the Endless Forest. That cold light was like a cold star in the polar night, flying towards Ning Chen and the others and getting bigger and bigger. When it finally fell into Ning Chen's eyes, he could already see the outline of the entire blade of the Chengfeng Sword.
The Chengfeng Sword flew straight towards Xie Tingyun. Even if it encountered any obstacles on the way, it would automatically bypass them. When it was approaching Xie Tingyun, it would even automatically slow down, which made Ning Shen marvel at the sight.
Xie Tingyun naturally also saw the Chengfeng Sword flying towards him. A rare softness appeared in his eyes, and he raised his hand and steadily caught his own natal sword.
The Chengfeng Sword rubbed Xie Tingyun's palm very cleverly, and then spun in circles in Xie Tingyun's palm with great joy.
Xie Tingyun smiled softly.
It felt so good to have the natal sword back in my hand. Xie Tingyun immediately felt his confidence return.
However, there was another person beside him who was staring at him and his sword with a stern gaze, which made Xie Tingyun's mood, which had finally improved, become depressed again.
Ning Chen had been eyeing Xie Tingyun's sword for a long time. He had used it once in an emergency last time and it worked surprisingly well. This time he made this request not only because he wanted to show Xie Tingyun how embarrassed he was, but also because he wanted to try out someone else's good sword in a fair and open manner.
Others may not believe it, but Ning Chen is quite interested in these cold weapons such as knives and swords. Last time, he accidentally picked up a silver spear and fell on them, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. Now he has no suitable weapon in his hand, so when he sees something good, he wants to grab it and play with it.
Especially Xie Tingyun's.
How bad! Ning Shen sighed in his heart.
He looked at the Chengfeng Sword, which was still spinning in circles to express its happiness, and then looked at the Holy Son, who was obviously reluctant to part with the natal sword he had finally found. He decided to get closer to the Chengfeng Sword first: "Your sword is called Chengfeng?"
Xie Tingyun hummed.
Ning Chen asked again: "Did you come up with it yourself?"
"..." Xie Tingyun said: "No."
Ning Chen: “Ah?”
For a private sword like this, generally speaking, the person should give the sword a name by themselves. So, isn't that the case with Xie Tingyun?
Xie Tingyun said, "The one you ate was filled with honey."
Ning Chen: “…”
Xie Tingyun smiled politely.
Ning Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Seven days... No, one month. It's not too much to exchange the right to use your natal sword for one month for saving my life, right?"
Anyway, I have already thrown the can down to the ground, so a few days won't matter.
Xie Tingyun shrugged and said, "Sure."
The spinning Chengfeng Sword was obviously stunned for a moment, as if it did not expect Xie Tingyun to sell it like this. The sight of it staying in Xie Tingyun's palm really aroused Ning Shen's naughty heart.
Ning Chen whispered to the Wind Sword Demon: "You don't want others to know that I saved your master, do you?"
Wind Riding Sword: “…”
Xie Tingyun: “…………”
The Chengfeng Sword drilled into Xie Tingyun's palm with grievance.
Xie Tingyun was really helpless: "That's enough, why are you bullying a sword? How childish!"
Ning Shen felt enough of the intimidation and stopped with satisfaction.
"However," Xie Tingyun was a little absent-minded. He said, "I gave my name myself."
Um?
This surprised Ning Chen a little: "Why is it named like this?"
"Why do you name it this way?" Xie Tingyun glanced at him, "Are you unhappy?"
Xie Tingyun said: "That's my name. If you don't like it, there's nothing I can do about it."
Ning Chen: “…”
Ning Chen: "No, you..."
Can we continue chatting happily today?
Anyway, even his natal sword was going to be lent out to pay off debts, and Xie Tingyun couldn't resist. Wasn't he allowed to just yell a few times and go back?
After a long silence, Xie Tingyun said softly, "Some people are born to be as free and unfettered as clouds. You think you can only look up at them from the ground all your life, and feel satisfied if you are lucky enough to touch them occasionally. But one day, the cloud stops because of your touch, and then falls and disappears."
Ning Chen didn't know why he felt uncomfortable, but he was a heartless person and didn't think too much about it. After listening to Xie Tingyun's words, he suddenly said, "But even if it falls and disappears, won't it still turn back into a cloud?"
Xie Tingyun was startled.
Ning Chen sorted out the logic and felt more confident and bold. He concluded, "Yun Na, you should be free and do whatever you want."
"..." Xie Tingyun lowered his eyes and whispered, "Yes."
Ning Chen said as a matter of course: "So if it wants to stop, it can stop. It wants to stop on its own. Why bother about it? There's no need for you to think about it."
Xie Tingyun frowned and said disapprovingly, "But I don't like it."
Ning Shen was happy.
He thought that if you are not happy, will the other person change? But when he saw that Xie Tingyun was so sad, Ning Chen reluctantly did not rub salt into his wounds.
After a while, Xie Tingyun whispered, "But even if the dissipated cloud turns back into a cloud, it will not be the cloud that I originally looked up to."
"..." Ning Chen asked curiously, "Why not?"
How can the leading actor Long Aotian be so stubborn?
Ning Chen admitted that he really couldn't stand others finding new angles to repeatedly argue with him. As expected of the male lead, Ning Chen wanted to argue back with him for every word he said.
"Even if it's not what you said," Ning Chen said, "but every speck of dust and every gust of wind around you is that cloud."
