Truth Exposed, Empresses Beg for Forgiveness-Chapter 85: Returning to Frost City in Five Days! The Unavoidable Thing Tonight in Jian Ling’er’s Room?
"Wood!"
The young Luo Xuan stepped down from the arena, lost in thought.
Jian Ling’er gently tapped him on one shoulder.
The young Luo Xuan instinctively looked over.
But found Jian Ling’er was actually on his other side, having just reached across to pat his shoulder.
This made Jian Ling’er burst into a giggle.
Who would have thought that Luo Xuan would be fooled by such a little trick?
He seemed completely unlike the one who had just delivered that earth-shattering sword strike~
"Wood, you’re amazing!
I knew you were great, but I didn’t expect you’d be this amazing!"
Jian Ling’er’s eyes were filled with admiration.
When Jian Kuanglan and Luo Xuan were talking, she was so nervous, fearing that the Sword Master might really do something to Luo Xuan.
But when Luo Xuan faced Jian Po and the others, she wasn’t too worried.
She knew Jian Po and the others wouldn’t be a match for Luo Xuan.
Yet she didn’t imagine that Luo Xuan would be far more formidable than she thought.
That earth-shattering sword strike, it even surprised Lord Sword Master!
The young Luo Xuan nodded, still deep in thought.
"Wood, what are you thinking about?"
The young Luo Xuan, noticing now that they were alone, thought for a moment before speaking.
"Ling’Er, didn’t you notice that your Eastern Sword Domain’s Sword Master didn’t seem very happy when he left?"
Jian Ling’er was taken aback for a moment.
"Did he?"
"Yes."
Evidently, what Jian Wuming noticed, the young Luo Xuan also noticed.
When Jian Kuanglan left, he didn’t seem particularly pleased or joyful.
Jian Ling’er thought for a moment.
"Even if that’s the case, honestly, the Sword Master shouldn’t be too happy.
After all, Jian Po, who was supposed to be the champion of this Eastern Sword Domain’s Sword Dao Grand Competition, even lost his Sword Heart. It’s no doubt a loss for the Eastern Sword Domain..."
Jian Ling’er sighed.
"In truth, the Sword Master really does have a tough time.
For years, in the Sword Dao Grand Competition rankings, the Eastern Sword Domain has always been at the bottom among the major Sword Domains.
At least in the past years, they could still send people to compete, but this year, looking at Jian Po’s condition... they might just have to opt to forfeit.
The Sword Master must be dreading the ridicule from the other Sword Masters of the Sword Domains, not something to be too pleased about, right?"
The young Luo Xuan pondered Jian Ling’er’s words and found some truth in them.
What Jian Kuanglan might face next could indeed be the mockery from the other Sword Masters.
Jian Po can no longer compete, and Luo Xuan hasn’t even registered for the Sword Dao Grand Competition.
If the one who got easily defeated by Jian Po earlier represents the Eastern Sword Domain, it would be better to just forfeit.
This time at the Eastern Sword Domain’s Sword Dao Grand Competition could be said to thoroughly lose face.
Furthermore, Jian Kuanglan might also be facing pressure from the Elder Council.
It’s quite natural not to be happy.
"Let’s not talk about this... No matter what, Wood, you’ve gained the privilege to browse the top three floors of the Library Pavilion. That’s wonderful!
This way, you get the chance to really check into the matter of the Soul Hall!"
Jian Ling’er was very excited.
This time, even the prospect of Jian Kuanglan personally helping her awaken her Sword Heart wasn’t the most exciting thing for her.
What excited her most was that Luo Xuan had the Library Pavilion’s browsing privilege for five days.
Moreover, this time he could directly access the top floors, increasing the chances of finding information on the Soul Hall!
The young Luo Xuan felt quite touched.
Jian Ling’er, even at this moment, was still concerned about looking into the information on the Soul Hall.
Jian Ling’er thought of something and bared her small tiger teeth.
"Wood, this time when you go to the Library Pavilion, don’t look for ways for my Sword Heart recovery.
Make sure to check into your own matters, got it?"
Jian Ling’er’s playful demeanor was tinged with seriousness.
Trying to persuade Luo Xuan, Jian Ling’er added.
"Besides, the Sword Master himself said he’d personally help me awaken my Sword Heart, this time it’ll definitely succeed.
So even if you check those methods again, it’d be a waste; you must look up your own stuff!"
The young Luo Xuan gazed at Jian Ling’er and finally nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I’ll delve into the Sword Spirit Library Pavilion to thoroughly investigate the Soul Hall after your coming-of-age ceremony ends."
Jian Ling’er felt satisfied with Luo Xuan’s response.
Hearing the latter part, her delicate nose crinkled a bit.
"Wood, why wait until my coming-of-age ceremony ends? Go in the morning; the sooner you go, the sooner you return.
Just as my coming-of-age ceremony still has five days remaining, hehehe, it won’t delay us~
Once you’re out, you can attend my coming-of-age ceremony, and then we can return to Frost City together~"
Jian Ling’er envisioned such a pleasant scenario in her mind.
After speaking, she suddenly realized something and spoke with a hint of caution.
"But... Wood, would you not want to go back to Frost City anymore?
Would you want to stay with the Sword Spirit Race, perhaps even visit the Sword Sect...
No worries, if you don’t want to return to Frost City, I can stay here with you, too.
Especially since after my coming-of-age ceremony, I might not have the same freedom to stay in Frost City and probably have to remain with the Sword Spirit Race..."
Seeing Jian Ling’er in such a cautious manner,
the young Luo Xuan couldn’t help but smile.
"Ling’Er, I don’t want to stay here. Once things are settled here, let’s go back to Frost City.
As for whether you’ll have to stay here in the future..."
The young Luo Xuan paused.
"I still say, if you are unwilling to stay, then no one can keep you!"
Jian Ling’er felt her heart racing uncontrollably.
It took her a considerable effort to calm herself down.
"Wood, listen to you, at least the Sword Master is very understanding, it won’t be that complicated.
Hehe, then it’s settled; five days from now, we’ll return to Frost City together, come, pinky promise~"
"Okay."
The young Luo Xuan and Jian Ling’er hooked pinkies.
After the pinky promise, Jian Ling’er’s eyes flashed with a hint of mischief.
Luo Xuan was momentarily speechless, realizing he had been caught by this girl’s trick.
With them agreeing to return to Frost City in five days, he would indeed need to visit the Sword Spirit Library Pavilion and be back soon.
But on second thought, returning early with Jian Ling’er wouldn’t be too bad.
This Eastern Sword Domain of the Sword Spirit Race, he felt no sense of belonging to it.
Returning early wasn’t a bad thing.
The two of them first returned to Jian Ling’er’s residence.
Outside Jian Ling’er’s residence, a True Disciple of the Sword Spirit Race was already waiting.
"This... Fellow Daoist Luo Xuan, the Sword Master has sent me to convey that an upper room has been arranged for you.
From tonight, there’s no need for you to stay here."
The Sword Dao Grand Competition was over, even if some loose cultivator swordsmen stayed on for a few more days, there wouldn’t be many.
Many rooms had become available naturally.
Moreover, given Luo Xuan’s performance today, even if it required additional arrangements, Jian Kuanglan would naturally provide an upper room for him.
Just when even Jian Ling’er thought Luo Xuan would surely move.
"No need, I have something I must do here tonight, please relay my thanks to the Sword Master for his hospitality."
This left not only the true disciple stunned.
Even Jian Ling’er was visibly stunned at this moment.
Wood insisted on staying with her here? What could he possibly have to do tonight...
Jian Ling’er couldn’t help but wonder.
Her face suddenly turned a flushed shade of crimson...
