Looking at Ning Xue’s eyes filled with expectation, Chen Yi smiled and asked, "Yeah, what were you thinking at that time?" In fact, there’s another sentence, how about I guess? But there’s no need to guess. Some people’s hearts are written all over their faces, etched in their eyes, so intense that just one glance stirs a ripple in his heart. Like Lin Xueru, Hua Xianzi, and now also Senior Sister Ning Xue. Liking one person is hard to hide, liking two people is when you need to hide it—Chen Yi hides it well, he likes them all. It’s just that he has his concerns, as if a knife or spear is constantly pressed against his back and head, making him unable to relax even a bit. So many times, when facing emotions, he isn’t that straightforward, being as sentimental as a child. Of course, Chen Yi is greedy, wishing to stand atop Taizhou Mountain to overlook this world, yet also wanting to hold beauty in his arms, resting with the heavens. Before everything settles, there’s no rush, after all, he’s yet to go through the coming-of-age ceremony. "I, I was thinking, if I died under that hand seal, would you... occasionally think of me." Ning Xue bit her lip, holding back her shyness and looked expectantly into his eyes. "No," Chen Yi shook his head. But before Ning Xue could be disappointed, he continued, "I would think of you all the time until I see you again!" Ning Xue shyly lowered her head, her heart blaming him for dividing one sentence into two parts. However, it was still sweet. She didn’t ask for much, especially knowing that Chen Yi and Lin Xueru had a marriage agreement, so as long as there was a place for her in Chen Yi’s heart, she was satisfied. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel{f}ire.net Seeing this, Chen Yi smiled knowingly and comforted her, "Senior Sister, don’t worry, with me here, nothing will happen to you." Saying this, he fetched three small wooden swords from his Sumeru Bag, pulled her hand and placed them in her palm, saying: "Keep these safe for now, I’ll make a few more for you all to protect yourselves in the coming days." As Chen Yi’s Sword Dao knowledge improved, the power contained in the small wooden swords also increased significantly. The small wooden sword that Ning Xue previously used against an enemy was given to her by Chen Yi when he returned to the Grand Void Sect from the Southern Barbarians, back then his Sword Dao had just entered the Divine Power Realm. Whereas these three small wooden swords are at the Five Divine Power Realms, given the right timing, their power can kill demons below the Divine Power Realm four stages in an instant. "Mhm," Ning Xue seriously put away the small wooden swords, her bright eyes slightly curved, and she continued walking with a smile. As she walked, she said with a smile, "Since coming to the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield, this is the first time I’ve seen Senior Sister act ." "Usually, she’s more diligent than any of us, never drinking during missions, and even in downtime, she only sips occasionally between cultivation." Pausing, Ning Xue glanced at Chen Yi and asked, "Do you know what she says the most?" "Sweat more in peace, bleed less in war, sounds like something the Wei Dynasty’s military would say, doesn’t it?" Chen Yi nodded with a smile, "It really does, back when I was in the Marquis Mansion, my second uncle, responsible for teaching us martial arts, used to say that often." "But I never said that," Ning Xue looked at him with a smile, "I even taught you back then." "So, Mr. Ning, please accept a bow from your student." Chen Yi pretended to bow, but was gently pulled by the shy Ning Xue, scolding: "If I had known today, I wouldn’t have agreed to Uncle Tiangang’s request and gone to Kyoto Prefecture." Chen Yi laughed, pulling her hand and continued to walk forward. Ning Xue struggled a few times but couldn’t break free, so she let him be. Daoist Yue Ruifeng on the city wall watched the two wandering below, a smile hanging on his aged face. "Indeed, a disciple of my Grand Void Sect, look at that demeanor, look at the power of his Sword Dao, quite reminiscent of Ancestor Mu Qing from back in the day." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chen Yi turn around and smile at him. Yue Ruifeng’s smile faltered, coughing as he turned around, looking seriously outside Youdu City, mumbling to himself: "Who knows how that Demon Court managed to plant spies within our Human Race, truly deserving of death, hateful!" Actually, what was on his mind was—better not let that kid look over here, his gaze is terrifyingly sharp. Even for him, a great power of the Divine Power Realm four stages, facing the calm eyes of Chen Yi, his hairs would stand on end, like needles on his back. Yue Ruifeng knew this wasn’t because Chen Yi was angry or targeted at him, but because his cultivation realm was also high, his Heart God Perception allowed him to see the Sword Intent on Chen Yi. Just like the scene Chen Yi saw when he broke through to the Heavenly Human Realm, Yue Ruifeng could also see his power—a towering giant sword, as if it could pierce the sky! "Lao Yue, look at you being so proud, people might mistakenly think that Chen Yi is a disciple of your Taixu Peak." At this moment, a burly man with hair and beard like needles walked over, wearing the same scale armor as Yue Ruifeng. "Well, he’s not your Lin Xun Peak disciple either," said Yue Ruifeng, raising his head proudly, "At least my Grand Void’s Lin Xueru is his betrothed wife, do you have a disciple as close to him as yours on Lin Xun Peak?" The visitor’s eyes widened, silently cursing him for being shameless. After some thought, he recalled, "Yes, why not? There was a chubby kid who apprenticed with Chen Yi, he supposedly has great talent in forging." "Why not? He came to the Grand Void Sect from Kyoto Prefecture with him, they’re from the same place and same sect, and often interact, how does that not count as a connection?" "You... Chang Sheng, you’re shameless! I feel ashamed to be associated with you!" Yue Ruifeng rolled his eyes and turned to look the other way. "It’s not like anyone cares," Chang Sheng picked his nose, looking sideways at Chen Yi and Ning Xue walking farther away, grinned and said:
