The flying sword swiftly pierced through the high sky, while Lu Xun was studying the streak of Sword Qi that burrowed into his sword sheath.

The basic information that was displayed read: [Sword Qi of Yan Li (1%)].

The Hidden Mountain contained half of the Sword Qi, which is 50%, while the Sword Qi in Lu Xun’s sheath was merely one percent of the full version.

Even though it’s only one percent, Lu Xun could feel its formidable power.

Compared to the other Sword Qi in the sheath, this one was just not as easy to control.

“Even though you originated from The Sword Qi is Near, I’m the one holding the sword sheath after all. I’m practically like your godfather. Why won’t you obey?” Lu Xun pondered internally.

Having an additional Sword Qi for protection is always good. He was a bit curious about how powerful a sword strike, infused with one percent of the elder brother’s power, could be.

Ji Li descended the mountain three days earlier than both of them. Although she can’t control physical objects to fly yet, this strong-lady possessed exceptional endurance and never-ending vitality, almost like a Perpetual Motion Maiden.

After she reached the nearest small town, she could use silver taels to get a horse. Or even hire a horse cart. Lu Xun remembered she had quite a lot of money. This little money-lover would definitely carry it around with her.

He thought it would be better to head directly to Yongan County. After all, she would definitely go back there once. It’s her hometown and where she grew up.

Yongan County is neither near nor far from the Demon Sect Mountain gate. Flying straight there on the Flying Sword, including resting time, would take approximately a full day and night.

As Murong Yan’s Flying Sword couldn’t fly fast, it was relatively hard for it. Named Swan Feather, it was like carrying the burden of Taishan.

Moreover, Lu Xun, a Non-swordbearer, gave it a hard time. Even without touching the sword with his hands, just merely stepping on the Swan Feather Sword with his feet put a certain amount of suppression on it. Can you believe

Although it didn’t make the Flying Sword directly shoot out with a “boom”, it did affect its performance, slowing it down further.

I’m just an unfortunate magical sword, a pitiful Yellow Martial. Why must my existence be so tough?

The Superior Yellow Weapon was online and downcast. It was so pitiable that I even felt sorry for it.

However, thinking about the timing, if Ji Li directly headed for Yongan County right after she descended the mountain, perhaps they would arrive around the same time… if she didn’t get lost immediately after.

Along the way, Murong Yan asked Lu Xun: “Young Elder is indeed worried about Junior Sister Ji Li descending the mountain to seek revenge, isn’t he?”

Lu Xun nodded and responded: “Do you think she’s someone who can make people feel reassured?”

A candid smile appeared on Murong Yan’s face as she nodded and said, “Junior

Sister Ji Li is somewhat adorable at times.”

“You mean adorable in a silly way, right!” Lu Xun couldn’t help but laugh along. He wasn’t belittling Ji Li. Instead, he also sometimes found her naivety indeed quite adorable.

After all, it’s a cruel world that judges based on appearances. Attractive people are even forgiven for being foolish under the guise of a nicer sounding term:

endearing.

While controlling the Flying Sword, Murong Yan said: “Disciple presumptuously wants to place a bet with Young Elder.”

“Oh? Tell me about it. What are we betting on?” Lu Xun asked.

“I bet that Junior Sister Ji Li will successfully avenge her parents without Young Elder’s help.” Murong Yan’s chubby face was filled with seriousness.

“You seem to have quite a lot of faith in her!” Lu Xun told her.

Although Ji Li had already reached the fourth level of the Qi Consumption

Technique and would be considered an absolute master if placed in the normal world,

Well, unless she encountered some monster-like bigshot who attained enlightenment through martial arts, she would certainly have no match in the rest of the world.

Her enemy probably wasn’t that strong, otherwise they wouldn’t be interested in a low-level evil technique.

And since she dared to descend the mountain, she certainly had some confidence… But Lu Xun was just not reassured.

What if the enemy had a greater number of people? What if she caused more troubles? Like killing a small one and attracting a big one, isn’t that the usual procedure?

Of course, it might also be because Ji Li was even younger than his sister Lu Yu.

His friends always called him a late-stage sister-obsessed freak. But they didn’t know that after becoming orphans, he really became the parents of his sister.

Even though Lu Xun was a brother, he sometimes had to play both the roles of a father and a mother. He had to take care of parent meetings, and Lu Yu was his biggest worry.

Even though he already spent so long in this world, he still often thinks about his sister.

Even though she was already an adult, Lu Xun just couldn’t help but worry.

Perhaps it was because he had held onto this mentality for too long, he was even more concerned about Ji Li, who was younger than Lu Yu.

“I’ll bet!” Lu Xun said directly.

He didn’t really care about winning or losing, what he really cared about was his own mindset.

“What would you like to bet on?” Lu Xun asked with a laugh.

Murong Yan, who had also been caught up in the moment, suggested, “How about betting 1000 Spirit Stones?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun laughed.

He almost forgot, there was a rule in the Demon Sect about gambling. For any gambling, a commission of 500 Spirit Stones was required.

That meant that whoever lost would have to cover both players’ bets with their Spirit Stones.

As Lu Xun held a special status, he received 3000 Spirit Stones every month. Spirit Stones were equivalent to the universal currency in the Cultivation World; his storage ring contained exactly 3000 stones.

“Okay!” Lu Xun instantly agreed.

By the time they arrived in Yongan County, it seemed that Ji Li hadn’t yet arrived.

Through inquiries, they found out where the Ji Mansion was originally located. After all, the Ji family was a martial arts lineage and was quite renowned locally.

Near the mansion, Murong Yan could not detect the presence Ji Li had left behind.

Don’t forget, when Murong Yan first met Ji Li and Lu Xun, she kindly placed a Blind Eye Method on the Wedding Sword. As long as the enchantment was intact, she could sense it, revealing whether Ji Li had been there.

“Could she really have gotten lost?” Lu Xun wondered in his heart.

Since Ji Li hadn’t arrived, and there were just under four days until the players descended, they decided to stay nearby and wait.

And wait they did, for a full three days.

Three days later, Ji Li finally arrived at Yongan County. Murong Yan sensed the layer of the Blind Eye Method she had set, indicating that Ji Li had appeared in the vicinity.

Lu Xun and Murong Yan immediately went out onto the streets, not intending to look for Ji Li, but instead awaiting her at the entrance to the Ji Mansion.

Ji Li arrived much sooner than expected. She was wearing the veil she had on when Lu Xun first saw her. She held the Wedding Sword in her left hand, and in her right was a tightly wrapped black bundle. Her appearance was dusty and wearied.

She was just as disheveled as the day she had first met Lu Xun.

But Lu Xun could guess what was inside the bundle-a human head.

This silly girl did not return home after departing from the mountains, but instead sought revenge first.

Clearly, she had avenged her family successfully, killing all those who deserved death and bringing back the head of the principal offender.

Eyewitnessing Lu Xun and Murong Yan at the entrance of her home startled her. She felt an urge to cry for some inexplicable reason.

But she didn’t cry in the end.

Obviously, Lu Xun had lost the bet, but he felt surprisingly relieved.

Looking at Ji Li, he remembered a conversation he had once read online: “Did you become an adult on the saddest night when you were crying?” “No. It was on the night when I held my tears back.”

This conversation seemed a bit exaggerated, but it did make sense.

When did he grow up? Perhaps it was when he wiped away his tears and became the sole pillar of his family.

Maybe becoming an adult is indeed an individual’s own business. After all, even the Chinese characters for “grow up” don’t have any radical or component. At the moment when her entire family passed away, Ji Li, although only sixteen, became an adult.

“Perhaps… Lu Yu is the same way?” Lu Xun wondered in his heart.
