Chapter 55: The Sword Without a Sheath
"We'll go first." Xu Mengchou won a great victory. As expected, whatever she wanted, she could get it. It was just a matter of time. She won this battle again.
The master said, what’s the use of being physically present if the heart is not there. She felt that the master was wrong. As long as the physical body is present and the heart is there, the person is still alive.
She was about to get on the car Mei Wan'er was changing in when Yuan Jianlu stopped her and said with a frown, "You guys take this one."
Jiao Ran was extremely worried and asked, "How could you leave Senior Sister alone on the mountain? What if something happened?"
Bu Yue ignored her and got into the car with Xu Mengchou. The bell of Xu Mengchou's car jingled, which showed how happy she was.
Before the carriage was about to depart, Bu Yue lifted the curtain again and said, "Take good care of her. She won't be able to wield a sword anymore. You have to... take good care of her."
Jiao Ran disagreed, "If you want me to tell you more, I will take good care of my senior sister."
Bu Yue sighed, "After we part today, I don't know when we will meet again."
Jiao Ran couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of this. "When Senior Sister gets better, we'll go to Nanzhao to see you."
He smiled bitterly and said nothing more. The carriage squeaked on the muddy road after the rain and slowly moved forward.
Jiaoran and Yuan Jianlu said, "Wait for me for a moment. I'm going to look for my senior sister at my father's grave."
"Okay, go ahead, we'll be waiting for you here."
Mei Wan'er had already changed and lifted the car curtain. "I'll go with you to find her."
Yuan Jianlu held her head and pushed her back into the car. "There's medicine in my sleeve pocket. Apply it first."
"Did you buy medicine?"
Yuan Jianlu was standing guard outside. "Didn't you take that sword blow because you were protecting me?"
"Ah, what did you say?" Mei Wan'er undressed.
"Nothing, I just said you should change the medicine first."
"Let Jiaoran wait for me for a while."
"She has gone up the mountain."
The drizzle began to fall again.
The wind blew, and the green leaves rustled in the mountains and forests.
Beneath a tree, a person was leaning sideways, wearing a light green dress, as if he were also an inconspicuous green tree in the mountains.
However, the originally clean clothes were stained with blood and mud.
A ray of light passed through the clouds and drizzle and fell in the forest, right between him and her, like a dividing line between two territories.
He was too quiet, blending into the wind and rain around him, a person without warmth.
He just looked at her fainting quietly.
One stick of incense stick ago, she was still kneeling in front of Yi Bingfeng's tomb with a fatigue that penetrated deep into her bones. One stick of incense stick later, she fell here, leaning against a tree alone.
Raindrops dripped on the leaves, on the ground, and in the mountain streams.
The rain was getting heavier.
She was extremely tired, and he, who was looking at her, was also extremely tired.
The blood all over her body showed that she had a restless night last night, so she was tired.
But he was wondering why he didn't detect the murderous aura in her even though she was covered in blood. She was still the same as before, like when he first met her, she was still clean and pure, as gentle as orchid grass.
She was completely different from him. He was tired because he realized that a vortex had begun to form. He had never had much peace over the years, and he would only be more restless in the future.
His sword is used to kill people, her sword is used to protect people.
He learned to pick up weapons early on, and the sword has become a part of his life. What about this person?
She is not a peerless swordsman, she is just an ordinary woman.
Confuse.
Why should he stop for her?
With a flash of sword light, the sword was unsheathed and pointed at her throat.
Kill her with one sword.
Just one sword strike would kill her.
In this way, he would no longer look for her and would no longer stay for her.
But he did not cut her throat, he suddenly put away the sword.
He bent down and picked up the unconscious woman by the waist.
In his silent world, the moment he held her in his arms, the wind began to blow slowly, very slowly.
Over the years, no matter who he worked for, he was stained with blood. The blood splashed on his body, and the smell of blood could not be washed away, almost seeping into his bones and blood.
But at the moment he approached her, he realized that the blood on his clothes had all dried up, and his sword once again glowed with a clean cold light, but it was only the light of the sword, not the murderous intent.
Be a rising star among the military generals in the court, be your father's most extraordinary son, and be His Majesty's sharpest and most reliable sword.
They all said that he was a genius and if he worked harder, he would be invincible.
So he works harder than anyone else. He can't lose. He must never lose at any time.
He was the most outstanding son of General Xiutu. Even as a hostage, he was still highly valued by His Majesty and the Empress. The two names "Chai Che" shocked the court and the country.
He can use the most light and graceful sword techniques and the most powerful and fierce knife techniques.
With just one move, he could crush the fighting spirit of those so-called orthodox military generals and many masters in the martial arts world.
So he doesn't care about the loser's life or death.
As long as he can win, he doesn't care who dies.
His sword shone like a flying rainbow, and many people couldn't see his sword clearly, but... the person wielding the sword was also trapped by the sword.
Because his sword is merciless.
He was trapped by killing, and only saw victory or defeat.
For many years, his hope in life was to kill. He wanted anyone who questioned him to die by his sword.
The sword can no longer be sheathed.
He is like a sword without a sheath, with its sharp edge exposed.
Chai Che walked into the forest. After the rain, the sky had stopped and the forest was gradually becoming brighter.
Jiaoran searched for three hours but couldn't find his senior sister at his father's grave. He searched everywhere but couldn't even see her shadow.
She felt guilty and blamed herself. She had just promised Bu Yue to take good care of her senior sister. When she turned around, she couldn't find anyone. She hurried down the mountain and saw that the carriage was still there. "Have you seen my senior sister?"
Yuan Jianlu shook his head and said no, "Isn't she worshipping on the mountain?"
Jiaoran said, "I have been looking for her till now, but I still haven't found her."
Mei Wan'er was still catching up on some sleep in the carriage when she heard Jiaoran's panicked voice. She lifted the curtain and jumped out. "What's wrong?"
"Senior Sister is missing!!!"
Yuan Jianlu comforted her, "Don't worry, she's injured and she won't be able to walk far."
Jiao Ran asked, "Could it be that Bu Yue came back and took her away?"
Mei Wan'er said, "That's impossible. Xu Meng's hatred is there. How could she allow it?"
That’s right, Jiao Ran was extremely panicked, “Then where should we go to find Senior Sister now?”
Yuan Jianlu said, "First, rule out Huiyingmen. After what happened last night, she definitely can't go back."
Shame surged in her heart. It was all her fault. If it weren't for her, her senior sister wouldn't have betrayed Huiyingmen.
"I really can't imagine where Senior Sister would go. I've searched the cave and the forest several times."
As soon as he finished speaking, a short arrow came with the wind and pierced into the tree trunk beside Jiaoran with a whoosh, with a piece of paper stuck on it.
Jiaoran pulled out the arrow, and the word "firefly" that she saw last night was engraved on the tail of the arrow.
It turned out to be him.
"I have taken the person away for treatment."
Mei Wan'er quickly asked who it was.
"It doesn't matter. If it's him, he probably won't do anything to me."
Yuan Jianlu asked, "Do you know who took her away?"
"I want to go back to the Governor's Mansion."
"A place full of tigers and wolves, why are you going back?"
Mei Wan'er asked, "Could it be that someone from the Governor's Mansion took Zhuxing away?"
"Exactly."
