Chapter 339 He is a Swordsman
Wei Qingci couldn’t help but laugh, his smile was full of self-mockery, and asked: “For example?”

Lin Wanyi looked at him and said, “This is your own problem. No one should know it better than you…”

I couldn’t finish my words.

Wei Qingci interrupted him with a wave of his sleeves, and said with a half-smile: “Then what basis do you have for saying that before?”

Lin Wanyi was silent.

This is the logic, or it could be said that this was the sword she had swung out earlier, which was returned by the opponent.

Under the morning sun, the flowers and trees are quiet and peaceful.

The chillness from not long ago has dissipated with Wei Qingci’s smile and no longer exists, like an illusion.

This conversation really had the flavor of senior-senior relations.

“Go ahead.”

Wei Qingci’s tone was very calm: “Whether it’s groundless speculation or full of malicious intent, I’ll listen.”

Lin Wanyi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then fell into a long silence.

In terms of temperament, Wei Qingci was certainly not enough to surprise her, but she could not find any fault with him either.

Judging from his character, her greatest impression of the head of Yi Shui was his calmness and composure, and this was by no means a cover-up for cowardice, as evidenced by the sword that stabbed Xi Lixuan in the back in Cangzhou City.

So what’s the problem?

Her realm is much lower than Wei Qingci’s, but she can still pull out the sword, which proves that this matter has nothing to do with her realm. However, the previous sword intent that hurt someone unintentionally still caused her to suffer minor injuries… Her realm is too low. She only knows that it is extremely powerful, but she doesn’t know to what extent.

For a full half quarter of an hour, countless thoughts flowed through Lin Wanyi’s sea of ​​consciousness, trying to find an answer that could convince himself.

However, until the end, she still couldn’t convince herself, or rather, she was convinced by Wei Qingci’s answer.

No matter how you think about it, that is the most reasonable explanation.

“Your judgment is reasonable.”

Lin Wanyi’s voice was mixed with fatigue.

Wei Qingci smiled and said, “Then you can take back what you said before…”

The voice stopped again.

The difference was that this time it was Lin Wanyi who interrupted.

“But the truth must not be ashamed of the devil lord as you said.”

She looked at Wei Qingci calmly and firmly. The slight tremor in her body caused by the injury was dissipating, leaving only loneliness and uprightness.

Wei Qingci’s smile faded and he asked, “Are you trying to tell me that you know how arrogant the Demon Lord is, and since he has decided to return the sword to Yi Shui, he would not bother to do such a thing?”

This was indeed what Lin Wanyi wanted to say. She was not surprised that her thoughts were guessed. She knew that in the past hundreds of days and nights, the other party must have thought about these things over and over again countless times, thinking about pouring out his heart, thinking about the end of the world, and thinking about living day by day like a year for nearly four hundred years.

In such a long period of torment and torture, how could there be any possibility that Wei Qingci had not thought of?
“Since you know my thoughts so well, I think we can end this conversation here.”

Lin Wanyi sheathed the sword, bowed, saluted Wei Qingci, then turned and left.

The whole process was extremely smooth, just like the sword she swung across the river, without any drag and extremely neat.

However, before she walked out of the flowers and trees and met the surging river again, her steps suddenly stopped.

In front of her, a straight line formed by fallen petals stretched across like a sword, shaped like a fence, and more like an iron chain across a river.

How could Lin Wanyi survive?
Wei Qingci looked at her back and was about to speak when a voice suddenly came from afar.

The voice was apparently gentle, yet extremely cold, as if it came with the wind, and flowers fell like rain along the way, as if they were cut by a knife.

The fence that stood in front of Lin Wanyi had already collapsed into thin air.

“What else do you want to talk about?”

“What does this have to do with you?”

Wei Qingci’s expression remained unchanged, his gaze passed through the suddenly withered branches and fell on the woman in black dress on the distant shore.

He said calmly: “Or, you are asking me questions as the head of the Sky Patrol Department.”

This statement couldn’t be any stronger.

Sharp and sharp.

Pei Jinge ignored him and asked directly: “What realm are you in?”

Wei Qingci was silent.

Pei Jinge looked at him and asked repeatedly: “What realm are you in?”

Wei Qingci’s face looked slightly gloomy.

Pei Jinge asked again: “What realm are you in?”

Wei Qingci said indifferently: “This is Yishui.”

Pei Jinge saw him speak, and asked with a smile: “What realm are you in now?”

Wei Qingci looked at that smile and remained silent for a long time.

“It is true that my realm is not as good as yours, and it is even more true that this is Yishui.”

There was no emotion in his voice: “If you are thinking of imitating Zhao Qi after he broke through the realm today, this is of course something I don’t want to see, but I will accept your decision.”

The fact that Qingjing Temple was almost destroyed by Zhao Qi was known to everyone in the world.

However, Pei Jinge was nowhere to be found at that time until she reappeared in a certain incident that was kept secret by the Qin court. Therefore, according to people’s speculation, she obviously achieved the state of immortality later than Zhao Qi.

Wei Qingci’s words seemed to be a concession, but in fact they were clearly mocking, ridiculing Pei Jinge for being inferior to Zhao Qi but wanting to be like him, which was like a poor imitator.

How could Lin Wanyi not hear the true meaning in his words?

She looked at Pei Jinge’s slightly narrowed eyes and knew that the former head of the Sky Patrol Department was already angry and might draw his sword at any time.

If things continue to develop like this, it will eventually lead to a Feather-level battle, and the outcome is difficult to predict. What is certain is that the scenery on both sides of the river will become a thing of the past, and I am afraid that even the Yishui River will have to change its course. All this is caused by her.

Lin Wanyi couldn’t accept it, so she crossed the line and asked without looking back: “Why do you want to keep me?”

Wei Qingci said indifferently: “The Yishui Sword should never be passed on to outsiders.”

Lin Wanyi said: “Then what are you going to do?”

Wei Qingci looked at her back and said, “Whether it’s a blood oath or a heart curse, as long as you promise not to use the Yishui Sword in the future, you will still be Yishui’s guest.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Jinge’s voice came from across the river: “I’m looking forward to the day when you go to talk to him about this.”

Wei Qingci knew that the “he” in the sentence referred to the Demon Lord, and said without any fear, “After I step down as the head of the sect, I will definitely go and ask for advice.”

Lin Wanyi turned to look at Wei Qingci, shook her head and said, “I can’t swear for this, because I haven’t learned the Yishui Sword at all, how can I fulfill your oath?”

“very good.”

Wei Qingci asked: “So how do you plan to solve this matter?”

Lin Wanyi’s eyes were calm, and he said, “There is a very simple way.”

Before this sentence appeared, Pei Jinge had already prepared to draw his sword, using the light from the sky as a blade to split the Yishui River in two.

“Very simple?”

“Yes.”

Wei Qingci frowned.

Lin Wanyi said seriously without any hesitation: “I will stay on this island and learn the Yishui Sword, and then I will complete the oath you need.”

The island in the middle of the river became silent again.

The dead branches swayed slowly in the wind.

Wei Qingci stared into Lin Wanyi’s eyes, but couldn’t find any hint of joking in those clear black and white pupils.

His brows couldn’t help but frown even tighter, his facial features were almost twisted together, and there was no longer any dull look on his face.

On the shore, Pei Jinge’s eyes were extremely subtle. No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t imagine that Lin Wanyi could make such a suggestion. It was obviously absurd, but feasible.

First of all, Wei Qingci’s most fundamental demand was met, and the Yishui Sword remained confidential. Secondly, Pei Jinge, who stood up for Lin Wanyi, also got Yishui’s concession on this matter.

At least on the surface, this can directly avoid a battle at the feathering level, and both parties in conflict at the moment will have a way out without losing face.

“how?”

Lin Wanyi asked.

Pei Jinge smiled and said, “Me too.”

In her eyes, this was the most interesting thing to do and there was really no reason to refuse.

Wei Qingci remained silent.

The grey sword robe fluttered on his body, rustling as the wind grew stronger.

No matter how you look at it, this is clearly a rejection, which makes his next sentence even more bizarre and absurd.

“I will teach you in the next period of time.”

……

……

After hearing that sentence, Gu Zhuo stopped looking and continued heading north.

He knew Wei Qingci’s specific considerations in this decision, but they were too easy to guess.

It’s not that he is good at manipulating people’s hearts. He has never been good at it. It’s just that Wei Qingci always puts the word “profit” first in everything.

In the process of teaching Lin Wanyi the Yishui Sword, it is worthwhile to take a peek at the rudimentary ‘Heavenly Sword’, whether it is to take a step further towards the state of enlightenment or to leave a new sword technique for Yishui.

“Aren’t you surprised?”

Pei Jinge retracted his gaze, walked with Gu Zhuo, and said, “Lin Wanyi’s decision.”

Gu Zhuo thought for a moment and said, “Do you know the first sentence she said to me when we first met?”

Pei Jinge didn’t understand why he asked this, but he didn’t feel disgusted either, thinking that he was just being mysterious.

She tried to repeat several sentences based on her memories from several years ago, but they were all wrong.

Gu Zhuo was a little surprised and said, “The Sky Patrol is not as omniscient as I thought.”

Pei Jinge certainly didn’t like this, and explained seriously: “Things have their own priorities. Lin Wanyi was just a stubborn little girl who was not willing to go against a shabby academy, and her mother and I had a very good relationship at that time. Who would dare to keep an eye on her?”

Gu Zhuo thought that this seemed to be the truth, and said, “When she first met me, she asked me to stand on her side.”

Pei Jinge was silent for a while, then said, “In this respect, she is similar to her mother. She is very confident.”

Gu Zhuo thought about the queen who was in the cold palace, and always felt that the mother and daughter would see each other again one day.

Or in other words, Lin Wanyi insisted on practicing just to stand in front of her biological mother in the most powerful posture.

Pei Jinge didn’t want to think about these things.

“Are you satisfied with today’s result?”

“This is her own decision, and I don’t need to be satisfied with it.”

“I like you very much.”

“…What does this mean?”

“I’m sorry, I mean I admire your attitude and it’s comfortable to be with you.”

“If you have something to ask me, just say it. Why do you have to say this first?”

Gu Zhuo felt helpless and sighed.

Pei Jinge suppressed his smile and said, “I want to know why Wei Qingci couldn’t pull it out.”

Gu Zhuo stopped talking.

Seeing him silent, Pei Jinge couldn’t help but sneer, thinking to himself, I even said such nice words but still got nothing in return, how did you have the nerve to say what you just said?
It was quiet all the way until they were about to cross the hill and leave the Yishui River behind.

“I didn’t do anything to Qie Man.”

Gu Zhuo’s voice suddenly sounded.

Pei Jinge was slightly startled, then said unhappily: “I never suspected that you had done anything to Qie Man.”

Gu Zhuo recalled that time and said, “Che Man is a very good sword.”

Pei Jinge sighed, feeling helpless, and asked, “Can you please stop talking nonsense?”

There is no sword in the world that can penetrate it, so wait.

This is a fact recognized by the world.

Of course, being known to the whole world is not necessarily right. After all, there are always people in this world who like to hide things from the world, but who can persist for thousands of years?

Gu Zhuo understood what Pei Jinge meant, but that was not what he meant.

Just like the Sansheng Tower, Qieman can also make his own voice.

It’s just that the former is used to keeping silent, while the latter is too proud and only wants to put his words on the sword.

“What I say next is all speculation,” he said.

Pei Jinge still said the same thing as before.

Gu Zhuo said: “Wait a minute, it doesn’t want to be held by Wei Qingci. It has nothing to do with me, the realm, or the temperament. It’s because it doesn’t want to be held by a loser.”

Pei Jinge was stunned.

She didn’t understand what this meant at all and just felt it was extremely confusing.

Gu Zhuo explained: “When I went to the wilderness that year, an elder of Yishui died because of me. It can be understood that he died under Wang Ji’s sword. The reason why the elder went to the wilderness was to seek a way to ascend to immortality for Wei Qingci.”

“In order to give an explanation to his fellow apprentice, Wei Qingci decided to offer his sword to his master, the king.”

After a moment of silence, he said to Pei Jinge: “The result is what you are thinking about at the moment.”

Wang Ji told him this himself.

At that time, his good friend was still sitting by the campfire, casually enjoying the incident.

The person is gone, but Gu Zhuo still doesn’t understand what there is to be happy about.

“This should be the truth.”

Pei Jinge came to his senses.

She turned around and looked at Yishui, trying not to let the smile on her lips rise to her eyebrows, and said with emotion: “If Lin Wanyi hadn’t proposed that idea, I would be very happy now.”

Gu Zhuo looked at her and thought, are you really nine out of ten happy at this moment?

A sad sigh escaped Pei Jinge’s lips.

“I am extremely curious now. I really want to go back in time and meet Wei Qingci on the day you mentioned, and tell him this fact in time.”

Just thinking about it, Pei Jinge found that scene very interesting.

Should I seek justice from my master for my sacrificed brother, or should I just give in and wait and see?

Wait a minute, these two words are really interesting.

Pei Jinge was thinking this when he suddenly found a problem that he couldn’t avoid, and his eyebrows slightly frowned.

“Wait a minute. This sword has never left Senior Wang’s hand for a hundred years. There is no reason for him not to know the proud nature of the sword in his hand. Why did he accept Wei Qingci’s challenge? Doesn’t he care about Yi Shui’s future?”

In this regard, Gu Zhuo’s explanation was very direct.

“He is a sword cultivator.”
