The date of the Sword-Testing Conference was close at hand, and in addition the journey on the road would also take a lot of time.
After Yun Jin and Yu Songnian accepted the mission, the following morning, when the sky was only faintly bright, the two of them went down the mountain.
"Master. Junior Sister and Junior Brother have gone down the mountain." Yue Zhao spoke softly.
On the peak of Heavenly Sword Peak, Lin Ya took a small sip of wine, and he happily said, "Tianxing Sect has already been wrecked by her enough, it's time to release your Junior Sister to wreck the people outside."
This little disciple of his, is good at everything, it's just that she always makes people anxious, afraid she'll do something earth-shattering in the next moment.
Now it's good.
The ones who should worry became those people of the Yu Family.
Thinking of the faces of those people from the Yu Family, Lin Ya couldn't help but want to laugh.
Anyway.
He didn't think that Yun Jin would suffer any grievance from the Yu Family, or be at any disadvantage.
If she didn't scatter the Yu Family, that would already count as not bad!
If those people of the Yu Family could suppress Xiao Jin, then wouldn't Zhao Wuji cry himself dizzy in the outhouse?
Yue Zhao and Si Wanning on the side both nodded in deep agreement.
The world was large.
One Tianxing Sect could no longer withstand Little Junior Sister's tossing.
It's such a big world, it should be able to withstand, right?
Inside a room.
Zhao Wuji painfully guarded Han Xiaoyu.
"Xiaoyu, that Yun Jin has always been very evil. Losing this time is just losing, next time, we will win back." Zhao Wuji earnestly persuaded.
Han Xiaoyu only sat there, face full of numbness.
His Dao Heart was shattered.
His belief was also destroyed.
After coming back that day, the injuries on his body were mostly treated by Zhao Wuji.
But Han Xiaoyu always has this appearance of not speaking, not smiling, just like a living dead person.
Although his body wasn't good, he had received Zhao Wuji's ten-thousandfold love from childhood. Growing up til now, he had basically never suffered any grievances. This time, being publicly humiliated and defeated by a spirit beast he once despised and abandoned, Han Xiaoyu couldn't bear this setback at all, and was about to become a useless person.
Zhao Wuji talked to Han Xiaoyu for a long time, but Han Xiaoyu had no reaction at all.
Zhao Wuji clenched his teeth, and said in a low voice, "Xiaoyu, don't you like Danxia? This matter, Master will think of a way to accomplish it for you. She has a Celestial Spirit Root. If you two dual cultivate, it can help make up for your talent. When the time comes, not to mention rebuilding your Dao Heart, even cultivation will be a thousand li per day. Master will then seek a powerful spirit beast. In the future, I will definitely make Yun Jin and that Iron-Eating Beast pay the price!"
Danxia?
This time, Han Xiaoyu had a bit of reaction.
He lifted his eyes, looked at Zhao Wuji, voice slightly hoarse, "Master… your disciple is already a cripple. Danxia, can Danxia still be with me?"
Han Xiaoyu was finally willing to speak.
Zhao Wuji was wildly happy, quickly saying, "Why would she not be willing? She's now only a labor slave! Rest assured, as long as you keep your spirits up, this matter, Master will definitely accomplish for you."
Previously, Zhao Wuji wasn't certain on whether to let Han Xiaoyu and Ye Danxia become Dao companions.
After all, Ye Danxia caused trouble too easily, she didn't seem like a good match.
But now, Han Xiaoyu was ruined, so Ye Danxia was the best choice instead.
She could cause trouble, but her talent was indeed real! First, borrow her Celestial Spirit Root to restore Han Xiaoyu's strength.
After restoration his strength, if there's a better match, then they could just discard Ye Danxia!
No matter what Ye Danxia did before, Zhao Wuji would always forgive her.
But now, whenever Ye Danxia was mentioned, all that's left in his heart was the desire to use her.
The reason was very simple.
This time, Ye Danxia used Han Xiaoyu.
Han Xiaoyu was Zhao Wuji's beloved illegitimate child. This time, Ye Danxia used Han Xiaoyu to steal his Sect Leader Token to commit such a monstrous crime!
She wasn't afraid of implicating Xiaoyu!
If not for the fact that he knew Xiaoyu's personality, wouldn't it seem like the two of them were colluding?
Ye Danxia's action this time truly touched Zhao Wuji's bottom line. Now thinking of this little disciple, he no longer had a trace of affection, only thinking of how to squeeze out her value.
After all she has a Celestial Spirit Root. It's too much of a pity to just waste it.
It's just right to use her to help Xiaoyu raise his cultivation, that's still utilising trash.
Zhao Wuji spoke with such firmness, and Han Xiaoyu's eyes flashed a ray of hope.
"And Master will also definitely not let go of that Yun Jin." Zhao Wuji said slowly, "Being able to laugh for the moment doesn't mean she's won. The one who can laugh to the end, is the real winner! Heavenly Sword Peak may be proud now, but Master has already set down a trap. It won't be long before they can no longer be arrogant."
Zhao Wuji clearly had another plan.
Thinking of his Master's deep and hidden schemes, Han Xiaoyu's complexion looked much better.
He said softly, "These days, I've let Master worry."
Zhao Wuji comforted, "If you can pull yourself together, Master is already satisfied. You're the only disciple I have left to depend on."
Han Xiaoyu's first reaction.
Wasn't there still Zhou Li and Zhou Dai?
But these two were never liked by Master, so Han Xiaoyu only smiled, "This disciple will do my best and will definitely not disappoint Master."
"As long as you're fine, Master is already content." Zhao Wuji said affectionately.
For a moment, the atmosphere between Master and disciple was harmonious.
After confirming Han Xiaoyu's spirits were lifted again, Zhao Wuji got up to leave.
Just when he went out the door, someone came to report.
"Sect Leader. That Yun Jin accepted a mission yesterday. Sect Leader asked me to continue observing. Today we received news that she and Heavenly Sword Peak's Yu Songnian have already gone down the mountain."
Yun Jin and Yu Songnian.
Gone down the mountain?
Zhao Wuji instantly narrowed his eyes, lips lifting a cold smile.
Very good.
That Yun Jin was somewhat evil. If she always remained inside the sect, he wouldn't be able to easily make a move.
Since she left, isn't that the best?
Everything from before, he would definitely take back one by one.
"This Sect Leader knows." Zhao Wuji lightly responded.
This time.
He would definitely meticulously plan one strike and hit! He absolutely couldn't have any more accidents.
Before departing, the wealthy Lord Yue Zhao stuffed the two with a lot of spirit stones, and also found a flying boat artifact for them. With this artifact, their arrival time at Lin City could be earlier.
Now.
Yun Jin and Yu Songnian comfortably sat inside the flying boat, the two leisurely drinking tea.
With some free time, Yu Songnian simply explained the Sword-Testing Conference.
"This Sword-Testing Conference is a tradition of the Yu Family. It's said that thousands of years ago, an expert, having received the grace of a Yu Family ancestor, left a sword domain in the Yu Family. The expert said he placed something in the very center of the sword domain. If someone can pass through the tests of the sword domain, and reach the core, then they can obtain the thing he left. Afterward, that expert departed. The Yu Family, in order to obtain the thing in the core, always worked hard. Only… after many years, the Yu Family still couldn't go into the core of the sword domain. It's only in the recent hundred years that the Yu Family began to open once every ten years. The surrounding swordsmanship geniuses, if they want to participate in the test, can all come to try."
"Even so. A hundred years have passed, yet no one has been able to walk to the center of the sword domain, to see the legendary treasure."
