Chapter 12: My Sword Is Your Sword! (1)
Bai Lian was very fast.
This was not because she practiced some special magic, but simply because she had an excellent waist, legs, and feet!
By the time she reached the new residence of Taoist Lingye, the sky was still bright.
Fortunately, there were few people around. Otherwise, she wasn’t sure how many onlookers would have appeared.
Hening city wasn’t cold at this time of year.
In early spring, two light layers of clothing were enough.
However, due to Bai Lian’s sudden appearance, the temperature around her sharply dropped.
Xiao Jinse looked up.
She was dismayed to see a grim sight in the sky.
The sky was clear everywhere, except above them, where dark clouds were growing larger and more numerous.
Then…
Xiao Jinse saw the snowflakes begin to fall.
It was goose-feather-like snow.
It felt like returning to the cold winter of December. Even though she had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, she still couldn’t help but shiver.
Cold.
Xiao Jinse suddenly thought this was the second time she had seen Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian angry.
The last time, it was because the Third Martial Sister was bullied.
Was it her turn now?
[Maybe this is what fairness means.]
Xiao Jinse stretched out her hand, and the snowflakes fell on her palm, soon melting into water.
She felt a little happier.
Even the depression in her heart seemed to dissipate.
Then her hand was held.
The cool spray was taken away.
Bai Lian put a coat over her.
In fact, Bai Lian hadn’t wanted to bring the younger Martial Sisters here, but she feared they would follow her out of worry.
So, she had the jade rabbit protect them.
The jade rabbit said nothing more.
She didn’t like Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei, but she hated people who made Bai Lian angry.
“Haw haw!”
The jade rabbit hopped up, showing an aggressive posture.
If anyone caused trouble, she would use the wind to uproot the whole city!
“I’ll be right back.”
Bai Lian reached out and touched Xiao Jinse’s head.
If she wasn’t mistaken, the Second Younger Martial Sister had grown taller recently. Xiao Jinse would be taller than her in the future.
[Task 1: Stand out for the Second Younger Martial Sister. “I have a sword that can cut the grievances in my heart.” (Reward: Mysterious Water Pear)]
[Task 2: Turn around and leave. (Reward: Soul Binding Mantra)]
Bai Lian looked up.
She wanted to witness the moment when all the people she cared about became brilliant!
This time, she still wanted to express her feelings.
“Come, sword!”
Bai Lian shouted lightly.
Suddenly, dozens of sword-shaped magic tools flew out of her chest.
In the rippling air, the swords were flying around with cold white light, completely surrounding Taoist Lingye’s residence.
Each sword seemed to have a mysterious connection.
Though they were just low-level Magic Tools, when combined, they created a huge threat that immobilized all cultivators nearby.
Tianshu Sword Array!
Bai Lian took a step forward.
“Cast the abyss!”
As she said it, the dark, thick cloud center seemed to be pierced by a lightsaber, and it suddenly began to leak.
What leaked out was a blue and white plasma, leaping like a dragon.
That was the abyss of killing.
Those who touched it would be broken.
Finally, when Bai Lian stepped over the gate of the house, she drew the Dirt Free Sword, releasing divine light.
Under the halo of her spiritual power, hundreds of swords roared.
Bai Lian didn’t notice the numerous lines flashing in her eyes.
She only saw the ruined building that could be destroyed with a sword.
As she was about to move forward, the Second Younger Martial Sister suddenly called out to her, “Elder Martial Sister, I am willing to hold the sword for you!”
Holding the sword?
Bai Lian suddenly remembered that the Second Younger Martial Sister was originally going to be the Sword Bearer of the Sword Washing Pavilion in Yunshan, but she was later found to be an “Obsolete Spiritual Root” and lost everything.
Your sword should be taken for yourself!
But…
Before you grow up, my sword is your sword!
Bai Lian smiled.
“It will clear up soon.”
She walked straight into the deep courtyard.
The sword array moved slightly and annihilated the walls around the house in the blink of an eye.
The people inside could no longer sit still, even if they didn’t want to show themselves.
Taoist Lingye came out from the second floor.
Only one night had passed, but Taoist Lingye’s once bright skin now appeared much older.
He looked at the flying swords, which were drifting in the white sky, and smiled bitterly.
“Younger one, why are you here this time?”
“Look at this letter.”
Bai Lian threw the letter left by Shan Huan to Taoist Lingye.
The white paper spread in the air, and after a glance, Taoist Lingye understood everything.
With a long sigh, he folded the letter again.
“I can’t stand it.”
Bai Lian had come to him to ask for “fairness.” He had promised to give her the fairness she sought, but now this incident had happened.
Taoist Lingye said, “Young one, will you believe me if I say I know nothing about it?”
Bai Lian shook her head decisively.
“Don’t try to lie to me!”
Trust is not something that can be gained with a few words. It must be honed over years.
“…” This wasn’t proper.
Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t you say “I believe you”?
Taoist Lingye said, “I’m serious. I just want to earn money. I don’t need and I don’t have the strength to provoke you.”
Bai Lian didn’t say anything. Her eyes fell on the wary people following Taoist Lingye.
“People of the Chuncao Pavilion?”
“Exactly.”
One of them stepped forward, his face pale.
The night before, he had witnessed Bai Lian’s huge sword poke a hole in the attic from a hundred feet away.
That scene had nearly paralyzed him.
He felt as though he himself had been stabbed.
This was someone who couldn’t be provoked!
But…
Why? Why was it like this?
He didn’t want to have anything to do with Bai Lian.
Was this how fate played tricks on people?
Bai Lian floated outside the corridor on the second floor, surrounded by the sword array, as though holding up a world.
She looked cold and chilly.
“Do you have any impression of what is mentioned in this letter?”
The people of the Chuncao Pavilion immediately shook their heads after a moment of silence.
“No!”
Bai Lian frowned, and the lightning on the clouds roared at the right moment.
Taoist Lingye’s scalp tingled. He couldn’t die yet. He had a lot to worry about, so he had to explain himself clearly.
Of course, an oath!
Taoist Lingye’s eyes brightened.
Bai Lian may not believe an ordinary oath, but the Immortal Oath was different.
Violating the Immortal Oath was tantamount to denying one’s own existence. It would lead to being swallowed up by internal demons at any moment.
“I swear!”
Taoist Lingye stretched out his right hand.
