Chapter 418 He also has his own heart
Lin Su stared at the girl in front of him, his eyes filled with astonishment.
She knew that Senior Sister Xue could put her younger sister in her sleeve, but she never expected that she could actually get her younger sister into the Wan Gong Fang trial.
Seeing Lin Su's somewhat dazed expression, Xue Tong couldn't help but give him a wink, then glanced at Huo Chen, who was still standing in front of the two of them.
Huo Chen is no longer speaking; he is bending his head down as much as possible.
In Xue Tong's eyes, it resembled a giant, curved shrimp, every bone in its body screaming:
You guys chat, don't mind me!
Don't find me!
Lin Su spoke softly, "Huo Chen, why don't you go out first? I'd like to have a word with my sister."
Huo Chen glanced quickly at Lin Su and said in a rapid voice, "Your Highness, please take care. This servant will take his leave."
Then it turned into a black afterimage and disappeared.
Lin Su was completely baffled: "Has he seen a ghost?"
Xue Tong stood opposite him and said, "Of course it's not a ghost. In his memory, you and I are siblings born of the same mother."
"I'm strong-willed and fierce by nature. You're afraid of me, very afraid of me!"
Lin Su nodded slightly: "Senior Sister Xue brought you in and gave you a new identity."
"I was thinking that I don't have a sixth sister here either!"
Lin Su was almost dying of loneliness being alone in this secret realm. At that moment, he saw Xue Tong's eyes light up:
"Xiao Tong, Xiao Tong. Since you're here, is Senior Sister Xue here too?"
Xue Tong told the truth: "I was originally here, but then a little accident happened."
"What little accident?" Lin Su asked, puzzled.
What little accident? Xue Tong thought to herself:
It's just a minor accident involving the river of time and the repair of the world.
Can this be said?
Of course not!
The girl waved her hand at Lin Su: "Don't ask about your Senior Sister Xue's affairs, it will only bring misfortune."
"I have come here to make you understand your current situation."
Upon hearing this, Lin Su's expression immediately turned serious: "Please speak, Miss Xiao Tong."
Xue Tong carefully recalled what Xue Lan had told her before, as well as the instructions from the masters in the Wan Gong Fang:
“Brother Lin, the secret realm you are in now is not actually the trial realm arranged by the spirit of the Wan Gong Fang, but the secret realm of a divine artifact within the Wan Gong Fang.”
It took Lin Su a long time to react after hearing this:
"You mean I've already been eliminated from the Wan Gong Fang trials?"
Xue Tong thought to herself, "Why do you think like that, child?"
You were never even involved.
The girl comforted Lin Su, "It's alright, it's alright. This artifact's secret realm is also very good. After you pass through it, you can obtain the Heavenly Forging Technique, which can heal your arm."
The girl's tone was clearly cheerful, but Lin Su couldn't feel happy at all.
The young man's voice was somewhat hoarse, even containing a hint of regret: "But Senior Sister Xue and I are both in this artifact's secret realm, so what about the Ten Thousand Crafts Workshop...?"
Wouldn't it fall into the hands of Lei Chuxi or Lin Buyu?
The young man continued:
"If the people of the Upper Realm obtain the Myriad Crafts Workshop, will they save the people of the Lower Realm?"
Xue Tong hit the nail on the head: "Absolutely not!"
Lin Su's momentum immediately deflated, like a flower that had been hit by frost.
"Don't lose your fighting spirit! Can't you think positively?" Xue Tong couldn't help but say.
She never expected that her four sentences would be enough to discourage a master craftsman.
The girl spoke quickly: "My older sister has already taken care of things outside. You just need to work under her and clear the dungeon."
Lin Su looked at Xue Tong and asked in confusion:
What is a copy/dungeon?
Xue Tong thought to himself that one day he would definitely publish a book titled "150 Hot Words Used When Talking to Xue Tong," and then have these people memorize the whole thing.
With a determined heart, she declared, "Because your senior sister Xue Lan is already the new head of the Wan Gong Fang."
Lin Su didn't understand Xue Tong's meaning for a moment. The young man blinked twice quickly: "Huh?"
Xue Tong had no choice but to repeat what she had said before:
“I told you that Xue Lan is already the head of the Ten Thousand Crafts Workshop. Now you just need to focus on completing the trial and obtaining the Heavenly Forging Technique.”
The girl tiptoed and patted Lin Su's shoulder: "Don't worry, everything is under Xue Lan's control."
Lin Su's expression was somewhat blank, Xue Tong's words echoing in his mind.
The young man was so excited he was almost incoherent: "Miss Xiaotong, you mean... Wan Gong Fang... yes!"
Xue Tong nodded slowly: "It's from the lower realm."
The girl's voice was soft, but it reaffirmed Lin Su's thoughts.
The Wan Gong Fang, a treasure trove that has been fought over by both the upper and lower realms for millennia, has fallen into the hands of those in the lower realm.
The young man's voice trembled slightly:
"That's fine, that's fine..."
Xue Tong looked at him quietly, then couldn't help but ask, "Lin Su, are you feeling lost now that you've become the head of the Wan Gong Fang?"
Lin Su was pulled out of his daze by the girl's words, and the young man smiled憨厚ly:
"Little Tong, let me tell you a story!"
Xue Tong nodded with some doubt: "Go ahead and tell me!"
Lin Su's voice was deep and steady, sounding unlike that of a young man.
"Legend has it that a thousand years ago, there was a genius swordsman among the human race in the upper realm who had cultivated his swordsmanship for hundreds of years and was invincible throughout the upper realm. Afterwards, he began to travel to the Yuanming Realm, hoping to find someone whose swordsmanship surpassed his own."
"He cultivated for over a thousand years and searched for the sword for over a thousand years. He earned his reputation with a single longsword. Apart from those reclusive masters, he had no rivals."
"Until his old age, unable to break through his cultivation level, he planned to go to the border of the desolate region to kill demons and end his life. But on the way, he met a Taoist priest."
Xue Tong suddenly became interested: "A Taoist priest?"
Lin Su nodded: "That's right, it was a Taoist priest. The priest invited the swordsman for tea, and on the way, he broke off a willow branch and asked him a question:"
Lin Su raised his voice:
"To search the world for adversaries? Is that the path to reaching the pinnacle?"
The swordsman replied: "Of course!"
The Taoist priest gently waved the willow branch and asked again: "Having searched the world for an invincible opponent, what is your purpose in going there?"
The swordsman replied: "I will head to the desolate lands, slaying demons across a thousand miles, to prove my swordsmanship!"
Xue Tong grew increasingly curious: "And then what happened?"
Lin Su smiled gently: "Later, the two parted ways. The swordsman traveled south to the desolate region, killing countless demons before finally dying in battle. Before his death, he saw two shallow sword marks on his immortal sword."
"Willow branches sway gently, a hermit walks along a wild path."
"That was the most skilled swordsman he had ever seen in his life."
Lin Zhong looked at the iron blocks being continuously scorched by the flames inside the smelting furnace.
"The ending of this story has been the subject of much debate since ancient times, and the one I just mentioned is the version that many people like. It says that the swordsman never realized the Taoist's sword intent and died without regret in the end."
"But I prefer the other ending."
A glimmer seemed to shine in Lin Su's eyes:
"The swordsman sensed the sword energy when the Taoist waved the willow branch, realizing that there are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people."
"Seeking a defeat that lasts a thousand years."
"But defeat is defeat, but true sword spirit will not disappear just because one loses the title of the world's number one."
"Even if his sword path is cut off halfway, it cannot destroy the sword heart he has honed by seeking out adversaries all over the world."
“Xiao Tong…” the young man smiled softly:
"Senior Sister Xue is a Taoist who appeared halfway through my journey. With a calm and collected demeanor, she severed my path... From that moment on, I knew that I could never be as good as her."
"But I also have my own heart."
Beyond his dedication to craftsmanship, he remained silent.
