Rourou was indeed tired. Ever since she entered the Central Desolate Divine Area, she felt terrible. She was constantly being suppressed and restricted, as if she was carrying a huge mountain on her back. With every step she took she had to be extra careful to avoid leaking her aura. Otherwise, if someone found out about her identity, it would be a catastrophe.
She was not scared for her own safety. At most, she could just return home to seek refuge, but where could Qin Yu go? He would definitely be captured…and he would end up with a very tragic outcome.please visit.
It was why Rourou was in a foul mood and even looking at Qin Yu made her unhappy. Therefore, strictly speaking, she had a reason for throwing a tantrum.
It was already late into the night, but Rourou was not sleeping yet because she was waiting for someone. Unless that brat was extremely dumb, he would be able to taste what it really was. If he did not come, then she would consider it a lapse of judgment on her part and the fate between White Iris and Infinite Monastery would have to be delayed even longer.
Right at this moment as Rourou put down the teacup, the corners of her lips turned up.
A few breaths later, there was a knock on the door. “Wei Han requests an audience with the lady.”
The door to the room was opened and Rourou was sitting very still, “Sword Immortal Wei, the hour is late. Did you come here to seek your revenge?”
Wei Han removed the longsword from his back and put it at the side. Then, he directly knelt on the ground. ‘Dong! Dong! Dong!’ He kowtowed three times.
Each sound was loud as the ground trembled together with it.
Raising his head, his forehead now looked red and swollen. His tone was respectful as he said, “Wei Han was being disrespectful earlier, so I specially came to kowtow and apologize to the lady.”
Rourou pointed at the door and said, “Since you’ve finished kowtowing, if there’s nothing else, please leave, Sword Immortal Wei.”
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Wei Han kowtowed thrice again and exclaimed, “Lady, I have revenge that I have not exacted yet. Please help me restart my cultivation journey. When I have finished taking revenge, my life will be at your disposal!”
Rourou knocked her fingers lightly on the table, “And what if I do not want to do that?”
Wei Han, who was still knelt on the ground, replied respectfully, “I will get up and leave right now, and then come back tomorrow.”
Rourou humphed, “You’re not dumb after all. Otherwise, even if you kowtowed until you broke your skull, I still would not take a second look at you.”
Wei Han was overjoyed and his face was full of excitement and delight. Yet, he did not dare to show too much happiness as he kowtowed once more respectfully.
“To you Central Desolate swordsmen, destroying your Origin Sword Dao is as good as ruining your fundamentals and breaking your Great Dao. However, to me, that’s not a hard thing to fix…I can save you, but according to my terms. From today onwards, you are my chess piece.
“If I ask you to kill someone, you will kill that person without any questions. Even if I ask you not to kill your enemy even if he was in front of you, you have to bear with it and not let your feelings show. Of course, I promise you that you will eventually get what you want and you will get your revenge.”
Without any hesitation, Wei Han agreed, “This subordinate is willing to…no, from this moment on, I am just a vicious dog that is by the lady’s side. I will only listen to your orders.”
Rourou scoffed, “I just said that you were smart, but in the blink of an eye you became dumb again. You must listen to what I say, but you must also listen to what Qin Yu says, do you understand?”
She waved her hand, “As for being a dog, you’re a bit late. I have already raised a dog by my side. Coincidentally, he is also a swordsman. I don’t like having too many dogs – just one is enough for me – so you can just put your mind at ease and be an obedient chess piece to me, do you understand?”
Wei Han kowtowed once more, “Yes.”
Rourou raised her hand and placed a finger in between Wei Han’s eyebrows. He groaned and his face instantly became pale. A broken sword illusion appeared above his head. Rourou reached out and grabbed the broken end of the blade and the rest of the sword started to shake violently.
Wei Han’s body started to tremble as well and his face looked completely drained of blood. Cracking sounds were produced and countless wounds appeared on his body.
Fresh blood oozed from these wounds and in just a moment, he was completely dyed red.
At this moment, the broken sword started to mend itself. A few breaths later, it became a complete longsword, but the upper half of it looked slightly illusory.
Rourou retracted her hand and Wei Han fell to the ground with a ‘pu-tong’ sound. He gasped for air and his body was still twitching uncontrollably. However, at this moment, his eyes widened and they were full of ecstasy.
How many years had it been since he went through that trial years ago where his Origin Sword Dao was broken? He had not felt his sword intent circulating in his body for a long time. Even though this Sword Dao was completely unfamiliar to him, it was profound like a Heaven Crossing Great Dao that led to the clouds.
“Your Sword Dao was already broken and there was no way to achieve even greater heights with that, so I gave you a new Sword Dao. However, there are some shortcomings to this method. Even though there will be no obstacles ahead of you in the future, by right, if you are willing to endure hardships, you will be able to improve quickly. However, I have already predetermined that your new Sword Dao will not be able to improve in this life.”
Wei Han struggled to get up to a kneeling position as he kowtowed and said, “Wei Han is content with this outcome, thank you so much, My Lady!”
Rourou waved her hand, and Wei Han turned around and left hurriedly.
The door to her room closed by itself and all the traces of blood on the floor disappeared, as if a huge invisible hand had wiped them away.
Rourou rubbed her temples and there was a tiredness in her eyes that she could not hide. She got up and staggered to her bed. The moment her head hit the pillow, she fell into a deep sleep.
Qin Yu stood outside her door and was listening to her slow breaths. He raised his eyebrows slightly, looking worried and uneasy.
When Wei Han came to Rourou’s room, Qin Yu had already realized that it had nothing to do with cultivation, but a large gap in cultivation realm. The Nine Bends Heaven Crossing Great Dao not only gave Qin Yu a stronger future, but also a shocking perception ability.
The World’s Net was always there; as long as he focused on it, no one below the King realm could hide from him.
Creak –
Another door at the side was pushed open and White Iris walked out. With a calm expression, she looked at Qin Yu and said blandly, “Marquis, you can go and cultivate. I will stand guard outside the lady’s room.”
No one was a fool here. Naturally, they know how each other truly felt and if this was the case, what was the point of concealing their feelings?
Qin Yu was not sure about White Iris, but he had no doubt about her loyalty to Rourou. Therefore, after ensuring that Rourou had only fallen asleep and that nothing else was wrong apart from her weak aura, he turned around and left.
White Iris watched as Qin Yu left. Then, she opened the door and entered the room. When she looked at the lady who had fallen asleep, her gaze softened. After thinking about it, she still did not dare to get too close to Rourou, so she just sat cross-legged outside the room.
On the second day, Rourou got up really late. When she saw White Iris outside her room, her eyes turned cold.
“Lady, you’re awake,” White Iris greeted respectfully.
Rourou asked, “Did Qin Yu come by last night?”
White Iris replied, “Yes, the Marquis examined your aura carefully and went back to his room to cultivate after making sure that there were no problems.”
Rourou looked at her for a while before saying, “Do you really not want to go to Infinite Monastery?”
White Iris nodded her head, “This servant only wishes to follow by Lady’s side in this life and does not dare to have other thoughts.”
Rourou scoffed, “So I should continue keeping you by my side, and when you can no longer suppress the explosive sword energy in your body, you want me to die together with you?”
White Iris took a deep breath and said, “This servant would rather descend to hell without having a chance at reincarnation than hurt the lady.”
“Hmph, idiot!” Rourou’s eyes were cold, “You really think that your implosion could hurt me at all? You are still my servant; if you die like that, what do I stand to gain?
“Go to Infinite Monastery, follow that old daoist, and cultivate a Sword Dao properly. When you’ve reached the Celestial threshold, then you can come back.”
