While eating melons and cultivating immortality, I felt soft after picking up the magic weapon.

Chapter 78 The Sword of Protection
What kind of eyes are those?

It was so cold and bone-chilling that it seemed like it was not enough to describe it.

His eyes were filled with ice that would never melt, making people shiver just by looking at them.

[Hey, you are indeed a swordsman genius with a natural sword heart and a mutated ice spirit root! Jian Hanxing is so scary, so scary~]

【…】

Qu Xinyou was a little speechless at Guagua's funny words.

But thanks to Guagua's voice, she came back to her senses.

When she looked at Jian Hanxing just now, she seemed to have returned to the time when she faced the sword's intention here. The chill that penetrated her bones and the blood in her body solidified, making her unable to move.

As expected of a Golden Core cultivator, even if her cultivation level suddenly dropped to Qi Refining, her aura as a Golden Core cultivator would still prevent her from moving at all.

Fortunately, it was only for a moment.

He quietly raised the temperature of the spiritual jade.

Qu Xinyou then said quietly: "Hello, Senior Jian, it was Master Ye who asked me to come here."

"Ye Lin?" Jian Hanxing's voice was as cool as the snow in his mouth.

"Correct."

"What did he ask you to do?"

"When the sword intent was released that day, I was at the scene and faced the sword intent directly."

Hearing this, Jian Hanxing's expression did not change at all, and even revealed a hint of nonchalance.

It seemed that what Qu Xinyou was talking about was not the sword's intention but something that had nothing to do with him.

Normally at this time, Qu Xinyou would not continue talking.

It's not good for her, and she doesn't like being rushed.

But she promised Ye Zhenren.

Even if Ye Zhenren has no hope for her, she will try her best to do what she promised.

So she paused, and without waiting for Jian Hanxing to ask, she told her feelings when she faced the sword intent that day.

During the whole process, Jian Hanxing acted nonchalantly as if it had nothing to do with him.

He even began to wander out of his mind, dazed, not knowing what he was thinking.

It was a while after Qu Xinyou finished speaking that he came back to his senses.

"You said that you felt the bone-deep chill and the indomitable sharpness from that sword intention?"

Qu Xinyou nodded: "Yes."

"Heh." Jian Hanxing chuckled, with a hint of ridicule in the smile that disappeared in an instant.

He didn't say anything else after that, he just said: "Tell Ye Lin for me, thank you for his kindness, but I don't need it."

Whether it was Jian Hanxing's attitude when she just described facing the sword's intention, or Jian Hanxing's response when she told her about the feeling of the sword's intention, they were all unusual.

But Qu Xinyou was not interested in this.

Since Jian Hanxing didn't care, she did what she should do and had a clear conscience.

"I see."

Qu Xinyou responded and prepared to leave.

At this time, there was a sound in my mind.

[I know why Jian Hanxing is like this! 】

[Isn’t it because the heart of the sword is broken that you give up on yourself? 】

Obviously, not only her, but almost everyone thinks so, including Ling Feng Sect.

[No, Youyou, you will definitely not guess that the Jian Hanxing of the past was not like what he is now. 】

Qu Xinyou frowned.

【Now? 】

[Yes, although he is ruthless now, he is just as ruthless as the rumors say, but in fact he was not like this four years ago. 】

Four years ago, Jian Hanxing's sword heart had not yet been broken. At that time, he was as high-spirited as all geniuses.

He is not as arrogant and cold as the rumors say.

It would be better to say that on the contrary, at that time, he was just an ordinary person who liked to entertain cats and dogs. The reason why his reputation as arrogant and cold, and the famous saying that accompanies his reputation spread, is because he heard it from other sect disciples.

It is said that true geniuses are aloof and arrogant, do not take anyone seriously, and have their own temper.

Only such a genius can make people admire him involuntarily.

After hearing this, he felt that it made sense, and because he was poisoned by some scripts on the market, he created a personal profile for himself.

In order to perfect his character, after he successfully practiced the Frost Sword Technique at the age of fifteen, he faced the sect’s suggestion that he store his sword power and said that famous saying——

"My sword is only unsheathed for killing people. Ice Soul is a sword that kills people, not a sword that protects people."

In fact, he had secretly stored up a lot of sword intent, and gave it all to the senior brothers and sisters he cared about.

So he actually said the opposite.

His sword is the sword of protection, because he practices so hard just to protect the senior brothers and sisters who are good to him.

But after that, the words spread, and his reputation finally became what he wanted.

He is young, has good face, and is passionate. How can he take what the superiors say seriously? He is not such a person himself.

Later, he regretted and wanted to change his rhetoric, but his character and this sentence have been widely circulated.

I have no choice but to give up.

If it only ends here, it can only be regarded as an old anecdote or a social joke at best.

Unfortunately, not long after he formed the elixir, when he went to the Xuanbing Field to look for materials to improve the Ice Soul Sword, he met his senior brothers and sisters who also came to look for materials for the sword.

He values ​​his senior brothers and sisters, so he is naturally willing to give in to anything.

But he didn't expect that the senior brothers and sisters he regarded as relatives would attack him for a piece of black ice.

In the end, he was thrown into the glacier by his brothers and sisters. His sword heart was also shattered by the talisman sword intention that he gave to his brothers and sisters.

His cultivation level also dropped all the way to Qi refining.

Later, when he came back from Xuanbingyuan, his senior brothers and sisters had already left the sect to practice, and their return date was uncertain.

He didn't tell the truth, he didn't say anything.

And the reason why his sword heart hasn't been repaired yet is not because of anything else, but because he doesn't want to pick up the sword again.

So even though he followed the sect's advice and came to the outer sect of Yuqing Sect, and knew that this was his sword intention at the seventh level of Qi refining, he didn't want to feel it at all.

[This is why he is like this! Gee, when I saw him just now, I thought he was like this from the beginning, but I didn’t expect it! 】

To be honest, Qu Xinyou didn't expect it either.

What puzzled her even more was why Jian Hanxing didn't tell the sect what his senior brothers and sisters had done.

She turned around.

When Guagua started telling her just now, she didn't go any further, so she didn't go very far.

It was obvious that Ye Lin felt sorry for and cared about Jian Hanxing.

As a former swordsman genius, Lingfeng Sect still has hope until now.

She was happy to add an extra layer of armor to her fragile outer shell.

Jian Hanxing noticed Qu Xinyou's approach and didn't care.

Now he no longer cares about anyone or anything.

Until he felt Qu Xinyou's eyes falling on his face.

He opened his eyes and looked at her.

"What else?"

Qu Xin was in a quiet place, looking down at Jian Hanxing with a dull expression.

"Senior Jian, your sword is actually a sword of protection, right?"

Jian Hanxing's pupils shrank, with a look of astonishment on his face.

"What did you say?"

But Qu Xinyou didn't look back, nodded slightly towards Jian Hanxing, turned around and left.

She couldn't say more.

As long as Jian Hanxing is still in Yuqing Sect, with this sentence in mind, she has no worries about the other party not coming to her.
