"So you mean to say that you're not human but a Sword Spirit, and your true form is the Celestial Divine Sword, awakened after a millennium of slumber by Shen Qingming, with whom you signed a Master-Servant Contract, allowing her to borrow your power to some extent?"
Shen Ziyu pursed his lips, pondered for a long time, and then said, "Your words remind me of Master Yao in our sect, who has been in secluded cultivation practicing the Child's Skill for over seventy years. Ever since he emerged last year, he's claimed he's not human but a big mushroom, currently being treated personally by the Sect Leader."
"...You don't believe me?"
"Honestly, from an emotional standpoint, I really don't want to believe such absurd things," Shen Ziyu said, "However, seeing is believing, and it's hard to deceive oneself. This trip to Cyan Cloud was truly an eye-opener, completely overturning my worldview. Hopefully, when I return, I won't find Master Yao really turned into a mushroom."
