“Are you hurt?” Sha Qian Mo looked at the wounds on Hua Qian Gu’s small face, silently cursing Yun Yi for being heavy-handed. If they meet again, he would pull out two of Yun Yi’s tendons and hit him with them.
“I’m fine.” Hua Qian Gu felt him near her, she was not used to the proximity, slightly stepping back a bit.
Sha Qian Mo’s right hand gathered internal energy to give off a pale purple glow, gently stroking Hua Qian Gu’s face, the wounds healed instantly. Then he rolled back Hua Qian Gu’s sleeves, gently stroking her arms, healing her.
“Anywhere else?”
“That’s all, that’s all.” Hua Qian Gu quickly rolled down her sleeves. Although her hips and thighs were bruised, she was still a girl and could not allow a stranger to touch her.
Sha Qian Mo laughed and crooked a finger, the Emotionless sword laying on the ground from afar flew back to them, automatically returning to its scabbard hanging from Hua Qian Gu’s waist. After seeing it more clearly, Sha Qian Mo was suddenly surprised.
“The Emotionless sword?”
Sha Qian Mo reached out to touch the sword, but as soon as he touched it, a force pushed him away. He staggered a few steps before stabilizing his body, chuckling loudly, he shouted: “Bai Zi Hua is a jerk!”
“Jiejie, are you all right?” Hua Qian Gu did not know what just happened.
“Why do you have this sword? It’s Bai Zi Hua’s specialized weapon, I fought with him before and was not careful so the sword cut me, the wound did not heal for a long time, almost ruining my perfect beauty, I had to go up to the Heavens and down to the Eastern Seas to steal ointments.”
“Zun Shang gave it to me!”
“What? Bai Zi Hua gave the sword to you? It’s a sword from ancient times, and he really gave it to you? I wanted to borrow the Fu Xi zither, wanting to uncover the mystery behind the 16 holy instruments, but he couldn’t be generous like this, almost poked a hole in my eyes. Who isn’t hypnotized by my beauty? He’s the exception! I don’t care, you throw the Emotionless sword on the ground, I want to stomp on it for revenge!”
Hua Qian Gu laughed out loud: “The Fu Xi zither is important, how can Zun Shang just let you borrow it?”
“Huh, I heard Bai Zi Hua was worldly and revered by all, I even admired him a little, who knew he was stubborn like other senile, dumb Taoist priests! I don’t care, I have to stomp on it!”
Hua Qian Gu could not let “jiejie” shame Bai Zi Hua’s weapon, quickly pretending to be angry and hit the sword two times: “Look here, although you’re a sword, you still have to open your eyes wide, jiejie is extremely beautiful, how can you wound her face? Quickly apologize to her, admit you were wrong, you’ll never do it again. What? I can’t hear you, say it louder. Fine, you must remember, but we can’t let this issue slide, you can’t go back to your scabbard for a while, you have to lay in the hot sun, you have to be burned by the sun until you’re black to sooth jiejie’s heart!”
Sha Qian Mo saw her talking seriously to the sword and laughed, helplessly waving a hand: “Forget it, I’m generous, I’ll take my revenge on Bai Zi Hua, not a blunt sword! Oh right, what’s your relationship with Bai Zi Hua, why did he give the Emotionless sword to a kiddo like you?”
“After the Qun Xian feast, I followed Zun Shang and joined Mount Chang Liu. Zun Shang thought this trip would be dangerous, he gave me the Emotionless sword so I can defend myself.”
“Huh, I can’t believe he can be kind, you’re carrying the Emotionless sword so even if you go to the ends of the world, he can still sense whether you’re safe or not. If Yun Yi captured you, no doubt he’d quickly send rescuers. That Yun Yin is a blockhead, underestimating the enemies and allowed Yun Yi to go up the mountain.”
“It’s not his fault, who knew Yun Yi looks like Yun Yin, he has never seen his younger brother’s face, everyone probably thought it was Yun Yin.”
“They look like each other?” Sha Qian Mo stuttered, he had never seen Yun Yi’s real face, no wonder they easily carried out their plan.
“I must work hard, I can’t rely on everyone else to protect me!” Hua Qian Gu squeezed her sword.
“The Emotionless sword’s spirit is too strong, only Bai Zi Hua can control it, how can it obey a kiddo like you? You have to slowly connect with it, only when you’re strong enough, the Emotionless sword would consider you its owner. Right now, it’s a blunt sword to you, I don’t know what Bai Zi Hua was thinking.”
As Sha Qian Mo talked, the Emotionless sword discontentedly shook in its scabbard. It was not a blunt sword!
Sha Qian Mo looked up at the mountain: “Yun Yin is coming, I have to go. Our first meeting, you’re so cute, I like you, I’ll give you something.” He lifted his hand, cutting off the last finger on his left hand.
Hua Qian Gu was scared and covered her mouth, rushing up to help him stop the bleeding.
“Haha, kiddo, don’t be afraid.” Immediately, the pink flesh on the finger melted off. Finally, it was only a little, white bone. Sha Qian Mo pulled a purple hair, he did not feel pain when he cut off his finger, but pulling the hair really hurt.
The hair moved into an opening on Hua Qian Gu’s shirt, then wrapped around her neck.
“This is a part of my body, if you have this, I’ll always know where you are. If you’re in danger, blow on it. I’ll rush to save you as soon as I can, understand?”
Hua Qian Gu was already scared to death, looking at where the finger was cut off, there was no blood, another bone rapidly grew there, soon the hand was the same as before.
Sha Qian Mo patted Hua Qian Gu’s head: “Don’t be afraid, I’m a demon. All right, I’m going, I don’t want to fight Yun Yin. Wait for me to find another holy instrument, then I’ll go to Mount Chang Liu to play with you.”
He hugged Hua Qian Gu, kissed her face, laughed devilishly, then disappeared in a flash. She was happy, it felt wonderful to have a sister! Haha!
A while later, Yun Yin arrived with a group of disciples. Everyone returned to the Main Hall. While Hua Qian Gu ate breakfast, Yun Yin explained that when he walked to the kitchen, he saw someone acting suspicious and gave chase. When he realized it was a trap, he returned to find Hua Qian Gu gone. Tang Bao did not know anything because it was sleeping.
Hua Qian Gu told Yun Yin about Yun Yi and Sha Qian Mo. Yun Yin was alarmed to learn Yun Yi looked like him. Hua Qian Gu said Sha Qian Mo was nice to her, but Yun Yin cautioned her it was best to stay away from Sha Qian Mo. The immortal realm and the demon realm were at odds with each other. As sect leader of Mount Mao and also a disciple of Chang Liu, Hua Qian Gu cannot have anything to do with Sha Qian Mo. Yun Yin found it funny she called Sha Qian Mo “sister,” but he did not bother to correct her misconception that Sha Qian Mo was actually a man.
Hua Qian Gu wondered when she can return to Chang Liu because of the Xian Jian Games. Yun Yin said Mount Mao would attend to support her. She realized in alarm that all the sects would be at the Xian Jian Games. She could not help but wondered how much embarrassment she would suffer with her weak fighting skills.
Hua Qian Gu stayed a few more days to wrap up matters at Mount Mao. In the meantime, Yun Yin taught her fighting techniques so Hua Qian Gu improved a bit. One night when Hua Qian Gu was in bed and ready to fall asleep, Tang Bao crawled onto her face and said Dong Fang Yu Qing wanted to see her.
