Chapter 214 She really did say it her whole life
She did not speak.
Su Qingying remained silent.
Su Qingying was looking at Mo Chengyue's mask.
It's not the kind of view that calls for drawing a sword and killing someone.
It is a very quiet, very complex gaze.
She remembered the face behind the mask.
That face I've seen countless times in the revolving lantern display.
The face he saw with his own eyes when he took off his mask before he died.
That person was standing right in front of her.
Three steps away.
Alive.
Live like her.
She wanted to say something.
But she found herself completely at a loss for words.
"You've worked hard?"
It's too light.
"Thank you for saving me?"
You're too kind.
"You're that lecherous thief, aren't you? I already know."
"...?"
...That was so embarrassing.
So she didn't say anything.
Just standing there.
His fingers unconsciously tugged at the cuffs of his robe.
The three of them stood there in silence for about five breaths.
The little twin-tailed beast in the corner sneezed loudly.
Then continue to curl into a ball of fur.
Mo Chengyue was the first to break the silence.
He discovered that if he let these two women continue to perform performance art with their eyes...
This silence could continue until those powerful figures outside finish their fight.
"Alright."
He leaned against the wall, arms crossed, and spoke in his usual smug tone.
"The person has come back to life."
"We'll settle the score later."
"Senior Sister Yu, you owe me a life, and interest will start accruing from today."
"Senior Sister Su—"
He paused for a moment.
"You owe me a life too."
"But considering when you gave me the Azure Spirit Sword before..."
"As a bonus, he said, 'You are only allowed to use my sword for the rest of your life'..."
"This is a complicated matter; we need to find a professional to do the math."
Su Qingying's face flushed red instantly.
She remembered the words she had spoken before she died.
Those words that slipped out when on the verge of life and death, when consciousness was clouded.
Those are the things she would never say if she were sober.
"I never said 'for a lifetime'."
Her voice was very tense.
I meant to say—
She suddenly shut up.
Because she remembered.
She did say it.
The original quote was: "In this life, you are only allowed to use my sword."
Su Qingying closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Expressionless.
But her ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.
Yu Jianhuan squinted at the side.
She didn't know exactly what had happened between Su Qingying and Mo Chengyue.
But her woman's intuition told her that there was much more between these two people than she thought.
"Mo, Cheng, Yue".
Yu Jianhuan pronounced his name word by word.
Her tone rose, carrying the unique smile of a femme fatale.
"When did you become so familiar with Senior Sister Su from Biyun Peak?"
"I died once, and you changed people?"
Mo Chengyue's forehead twitched behind his mask.
"Your statement that 'if someone dies once, you replace them' is very problematic."
"First of all, I didn't change the player."
"Secondly, your treatment plans are exactly the same."
"They are all full-service VIPs from the Spirit Pool, with no discrimination whatsoever."
"at last--"
"I am the contractor for Party A."
"Party B has no right to choose Party A."
"You two clients are in a competitive relationship; please resolve this yourselves through negotiation."
"I'm only responsible for errands and after-sales service."
Yu Jianhuan narrowed her phoenix eyes dangerously.
Su Qingying pursed her lips into a thin line.
Two gazes simultaneously fell upon Mo Chengyue.
A cold dish.
A poisonous substance.
Despite the extreme temperature differences, their murderous intent was remarkably consistent.
Mo Chengyue shrank back behind the mask.
it is good.
He had already anticipated the subtle competition between them.
But he didn't expect it to start so soon.
They could still curse him together while soaking in the pool.
They started sizing each other up less than ten breaths after putting on their clothes.
woman.
An eternal mystery.
Mo Chengyue decided to steer the conversation from the "minefield" back to the "safe zone".
He used his true energy to draw a simplified floor plan of the palace in the air.
Golden lines outlined the main hall, side halls, secret passages, and the approximate location of their room within the secret chamber.
"This is the current situation."
His tone shifted from a playful, joking manner to a calm, briefing-style one.
"We are in a secret chamber deep within the palace, sealed off by arrays on all sides, so no one outside can detect us."
"The good news is: you are all alive, and your cultivation has been restored."
"Senior Sister Su's inner core is repaired, and Senior Sister Yu even leveled up in the process."
"The bad news is: there are more than a dozen powerful cultivators at the peak of the Core Formation stage fighting over a treasure whose identity is unknown in the main hall, causing a huge uproar."
"The combined fighting strength of the three of us is roughly equivalent to three appetizers in front of those people."
He paused.
"so--"
"Before figuring out how to get out of this hellhole unscathed."
"No one is allowed to leave this room."
Upon hearing this, Yu Jianhuan temporarily suppressed the jealousy on her face.
She is not a fool.
The femme fatale has survived to this day in the Hehuan Sect not because of her beauty.
It's the brain.
"Did you come in from outside?"
"They were thrown in through the revolving door."
Mo Chengyue corrected him.
"Strictly speaking, it wasn't a deliberate entry."
"Do you know the way back?"
"I know that in theory."
"But the mechanism for that revolving door was triggered by the aftershocks of the battle in the main hall."
"I'm not sure if it can be opened manually from the inside."
Su Qingying listened in silence the whole time.
She finally spoke, her voice regaining its cool and clear quality.
But it's softer than before.
"Array formation mural".
She turned her head and glanced at the dense patterns on the four walls.
"You made a rubbing?"
Mo Chengyue nodded.
"It's all been stored in my sea of consciousness."
"But this formation is far beyond my current level of understanding; I can't break it in a short time."
Su Qingying's gaze slowly swept over the patterns on the mural, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.
She didn't ask any further questions.
But Mo Chengyue noticed the way she looked at the array patterns.
It wasn't just a casual glance.
It is an expert examining the work.
The disciples of Biyun Peak practice both sword and formation techniques.
He almost forgot.
Yu Jianhuan stretched, and the newly generated spiritual energy flowed through her body.
It made every movement of hers feel relaxed and comfortable.
"Then there's no rush."
She sat down against the pool wall, her long, wet hair hanging over her shoulders, and glanced at Mo Chengyue with her phoenix eyes.
"Anyway, there's a fight going on outside, so we can't go out."
"Let's just say..."
She thought for a moment, then a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.
"Just consider it a vacation."
Su Qingying did not sit down.
She stood there, looking down at the emerald green light at the bottom of the pool.
The Azure Spirit Sword is still in the pool.
It lies quietly at the bottom of the water.
The blood pact patterns on the sword were clear and stable, emitting a faint green light.
She could sense it.
The sword is waiting for her.
Her gaze shifted from the Jade Spirit Sword to Mo Chengyue.
Bronze mask.
The eyes behind the mask.
She couldn't see those eyes.
But she knew those eyes were watching her too.
Su Qingying ultimately said nothing.
She simply turned her head slightly, letting her long, loose hair cover half of her face.
The ears were covered.
It covered up that blush that just wouldn't fade.
Mo Chengyue watched all of this from behind the mask.
One is sitting.
One is standing.
A jade sword soaking in a pool of water.
And there were twin ponytails curled up into a ball in the corner.
He leaned back against the wall, his hands behind his head.
He let out a long breath.
A slight smile played at the corners of his mouth beneath the mask.
But that was since he entered the ancient ruins.
The most relaxing moment.
"Alright."
"One of you should consolidate your cultivation, and the other should recover your strength."
"I'll keep thinking of ways to get out."
"We can't expect one office worker to cook all the meals for three people."
Yu Jianhuan scoffed.
"Who told you to take this order?"
Su Qingying's lips moved, but no sound came out.
But if Mo Chengyue's eyes are sharp enough...
He would see her silently say two words.
Thank you.
The room fell silent.
The array patterns on the four walls emitted a faint golden glow.
The pool water flowed gently, shimmering with its last golden-white light.
Three types of breathing sounds.
One light.
Yi Rou.
One long.
Inside this secret chamber sealed by an ancient formation.
One after another.
