Translator: 549690339

So… The Sword Qi is Near obediently staying atop Hidden Mountain was threatened by Mr. Wang, wasn’t it?

Upon recalling the cocky demeanor of The Sword Qi is Near and hearing what Mao Nanbei had just said, Lu Xun could not help but chuckle a bit.

At the same time, he remembered Mao Nanbei mentioning earlier that, as one’s cultivation in the Sword Cultivating Technique progresses, the sword will increasingly mirror the master’s character.

The senior brother must be an arrogant person. Lu Xun was convinced of this after observing his Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi is Near, however, seemed to be all bark but no bite. It appeared assertive on the outside but was actually quite timid on the inside!

—It was a false arrogance!

Therefore, Mao Nanbei’s theory was invalid.

So, the flirty little sword in my Sword Heart has nothing to do with me, Lu Xun. I still am very upright.

“The argument is supported by evidence, and the logic is consistent. There seems to be no problem at all.” He concluded inwardly.

Lu Xun looked down at the Sword Sheath and thinking about how the Sword Sheath and The Sword Qi is Near were placed separately. He lowered his head and asked the Sword Sheath, “Did you separate because it has become too powerful, and your body can no longer contain it?”

The black cord on the Sword Sheath floated up and nodded before shaking itself.

Obviously, The Sword Qi is Near being too powerful was one reason, but it seems there’s also some emotional discord between them.

Thus, for both practical and emotional reasons, The Sword Qi is Near and the Sword Sheath started living separately.

It seemed like they had divorced…

“The master went into closed-door cultivation, it was locked up on the mountain top like it was serving a life sentence, then its wife divorced it, and after the breakup, she ran away with me while it watched… Why do I feel The Sword Qi is Near is a bit pitiful?” Lu Xun surprisingly sympathized with The Sword Qi is Near.

Of course, despite any sympathy, he would definitely not return the Sword Sheath. He would never ever give it back!

For him, the Sword Sheath was a perfect match, there was nothing more suitable for him, a Non-swordbearer.

Mao Nanbei also finished the second bowl of pear with crystal sugar and licked her lips. Touching her bloated belly, she indicated that she was full and satisfied.

Lu Xun took the wooden bowl handed over by her and asked, “By the way… why did the master lock The Sword Qi is Near on the mountain?”

“I don’t know, the master didn’t say.” Mao Nanbei sat on the stone, idly swinging her petite legs.

The Sword Sheath might know, but it can’t speak.

Lu Xin, whose brain didn’t function quite normally, is even considering teaching the Sword Sheath how to write so it could use the black cord to write its thoughts.

The Sword Sheath, having followed the senior brother for many years, must have seen and learned a lot. It should be of great help to him.

“Seems like a good idea. I can try it when I’m free.” After a mental leap. Lu Xun concluded inwardly.

At this moment, he glanced towards the outside of the cave, worried about Lin Chan’s current expedition to the Hidden Mountain.

He was afraid that Lin Chan would reach the top of the mountain only to be rejected by The Sword Qi is Near, ending up fruitless.

In that case, he would not be able to get the rewards of his mainline task, and Little Chan’s path of cultivation would also miss this chance.

By the way, the sword named Wind Stabilizing Wave left by Yan Shu was also a good choice.

A Purple Level Immortal Sword, imbued with Dragon Blood, and embedded with Dragon Yuan. Lu Xun had been tempted when he first saw it. He hoped Lin Chan could choose it.

“Fourth sister, how far has Little Chan reached?” Lu Xun asked.

Continuing her role as a commentator, Mao Nanbei sensed Little Chan’s location and then broadcasted it to Lu Xun, “She’s already reached the 599th step! They’re already Superior Spiritual Tools.”

Lu Xun nodded his head. If Lin Chan went up a little more, she would encounter the rare Purple Equipment.

Mao Nanbei continued sensing, mumbling, “That’s odd. Why is Little Chan standing there for so long? She seems to be hesitating.”

“Hm?” Lu Xun also started to wonder.

Hidden Mountain, step number 599.

Here are Superior Spiritual Artifacts, and superior blue equipment everywhere.

Among them, all the spirit swords are trembling, even emitting one sword chirp after another, expressing their goodwill towards Lin Chan, each vying for her attention, each hoping to be chosen by her.

Besides these spirit swords, two pieces of superior blue equipment have chosen Lin Chan, one of which is “First Encounter”!

As one of the hallmark equipment of Lu Xun’s past life, “First Encounter” has protected this explosive temper great cane hero countless times.

When he was recklessly fighting, if it wasn’t for the ultra-strong defensive capability of “First Encounter”, which is comparable to ordinary purple equipment, he estimates he would have been reduced to ashes every two or three days.

Interestingly, when Lu Xun ascended the mountain in this life, “First Encounter” was indifferent to him, unlike the first encounter.

But Lin Chan was favored by it, it was eager to be taken down the mountain by Lin Chan.

But Lin Chan didn’t put her mind on magical weapons other than the sword. She came to Hidden Mountain to pick a sword, and she didn’t consider anything else.

The reason why she did not bow to them as before and then continue up the mountain was that her gaze was attracted by a sword.

A broken sword!

It’s strange enough that there would be a broken sword on Hidden Mountain.

The sword looks very ordinary, just like the ordinary three-foot blade forged in the most common blacksmith shop in the world.

Its sword tip was gone, its whereabouts unknown. A third of the sword’s body was gone, and the remaining two-thirds even had a bit of a rolled edge.

The most exaggerated part is, it even rusted!

Rust is unreasonable for a piece of blue equipment.

This makes people think that this is not a broken sword, but more like an old man on his deathbed, already dying, even a bit like a decaying corpse.

There are so many Superior Spirit Swords present here, this one is undoubtedly the weakest and definitely the least practical.

But Lin Chan’s gaze was attracted to it.

All the other swords were trembling and chirping, appearing very active, while this one is like a walking dead.

The strangest thing is that the last time Lu Xun climbed the mountain, there was no broken sword on Hidden Mountain!

Looking at the current state of this broken sword, one can’t help but wonder…

is the sword spirit of this sword about to die!

Hidden Mountain is indeed a graveyard with deceased people of the Demon Sect leaving their belongings, but these relics are all “alive”. But it seems as if it will rot into a grave at any time, the buried one would be itself.

This is a barely surviving dying sword!

Lin Chan just stood in the distance watching it, and after a little hesitation, she slowly approached it.

As she was getting closer, a loud sword chirp that resounded through the sky suddenly rang in her ears!

To be precise, this sword chirp was heard by the entire Demon Sect! Even Lu Xun, who was far away in the back of the mountain, heard it clearly!

And this sword chirp made him feel familiar, he was certain that the sword chirp came from “The Sword Qi is Near” at the top of Hidden Mountain!

It seemed to sense that Lin Chan was moving towards the broken sword, it seemed to sense that Lin Chan wanted to choose it, and then it issued a sword chirp.

This sword chirp sound seemed like it was fighting for itself!

It had been watching Lin Chan all along!

The sword qi is waiting for her, waiting for her to take it away!

Lin Chan looked puzzled, glanced at the top of the mountain, and then stopped.
