Chapter 47: The Demon Sword has recognized its master!

‘Heavenly Snow’ went out.

This was unexpected.

Song Ruoxue frowned, unable to understand why this had happened.

Tang Yingyue teased in a low voice from the side, “Yoyo, it seems this child’s mind is not pure. Is she thinking about doing bad things all day?”

Su Li’er didn’t speak and fell silent.

The moment her fingertip touched the sword’s body, she had indeed sensed its spirituality and divine sense, as clear and bright as an ice crystal.

Song Ruoxue was right. This sword only liked people with a pure mind.

‘It’s that effective…’

‘Doesn’t that mean the remaining few will all…’

“Little Li, don’t be discouraged. This sword doesn’t know what’s good for it.” Song Ruoxue snorted lightly. With a flick of her fingertip, ‘Heavenly Snow’ was thrown into the backyard of the Sword Sect, as if she were throwing something worthless.

“Mmm… I know.” Su Li’er replied.

“Try the others?”

“Okay…”

If I’m not mistaken…

Su Li’er slowly extended her hand, her fingertip beginning to touch the frosty immortal sword.

Song Ruoxue’s voice sounded unhurriedly, “This sword is called ‘Sorrowful Water.’ It is said to have been condensed from a spring left behind by the immortal realm. It likes a kind master the most. Mmm… it should be a perfect match for Little Li.”

—Hum.

‘Sorrowful Water’ erupted in a boundless light.

Su Li’er’s beautiful eyes widened slightly.

The next moment, ‘Sorrowful Water’ went out.

It was as if its oil had run out, completely dim.

‘Although it was within my expectations, this is too hurtful!’

Su Li’er was in a daze. ‘Am I not kind?!’

“?” Song Ruoxue opened her mouth, speechless.

“What the hell, what are you doing, you child…?” Tang Yingyue was also surprised.

With a move of her hand seal, Song Ruoxue threw ‘Sorrowful Water’ into the backyard, then she gently comforted her again, “Little Li, it’s alright. This sword has been put away for too long, there’s something wrong with its head. You can try again.”

“…Uh, okay, okay.”

Su Li’er was starting to panic a little. This development isn’t right. My persona is about to be exposed!

She looked at Song Ruoxue, then at Tang Yingyue. Both women’s faces were full of anticipation.

‘Forget it… I’ll try again.’

So, Su Li’er extended her hand once again and touched the dark green immortal sword.

“This sword is called ‘Resting Wood.’ It has condensed countless pure natural spiritual energies and likes a master with a righteous heart the most. This sword was just taken out for some fresh air not long ago, so there shouldn’t be any problems. Little Li, don’t worry.”

‘No!’

‘Sect Master, can you please not jinx it so quickly!’

‘Can’t you see that the sword is about to go out too?’

Wuwuwuwu.

—’Resting Wood’ went out.

Su Li’er felt like she wanted to cry but had no tears. This was different from the fake crying before. She was truly sad and desperate.

‘You ask me why I want to cry but have no tears?’

‘Look, the big ice cold Sect Master is about to enter immortal mode. Her expression has changed!’

“Little Li, what on earth is…” Song Ruoxue wanted to say something, but she didn’t know where to start, her face full of gravity.

“Song Ruoxue, are all your immortal swords so difficult to acknowledge a master?” Tang Yingyue asked in disbelief.

In her past experience, it was not difficult for an immortal sword to acknowledge a master. What was difficult was how to maximize the sword’s potential later on!

Therefore, for many people, a high-grade immortal sword was not the optimal choice for a sword. It took too long to develop, and it might not even be able to leave the mountain!

But Song Ruoxue was confident. As long as her junior sister could choose an immortal sword, she could definitely help her junior sister unleash the sword’s greatest potential!

This was her confidence.

But now… she kept failing.

“It’s not difficult.” Song Ruoxue frowned tightly and said in a deep voice, “Maybe there’s something wrong with this sword’s head too. Try the others again.”

As she spoke, she once again performed a hand seal, and ‘Resting Wood’ was also thrown into the backyard.

“Sect Master, do I… still have to try?” Su Li’er’s face was mournful, with an expression of begging for mercy.

“Try!” Song Ruoxue nodded emphatically. “The last one is called ‘Scorching Sun.’ It was naturally condensed from the primordial heavenly fire and likes a sincere and honest master the most. I just used this sword not long ago, so there’s absolutely no way there can be any problems.”

“Are you sure there won’t be any problems?” Tang Yingyue couldn’t help but gossip.

“I’m sure. If there are any problems, I’ll… in front of you…”

Song Ruoxue said righteously, but she was quickly interrupted by Su Li’er.

“Hey! Sect Master, Little Li will try it now. Little Li also thinks it’s possible!”

As she spoke, Su Li’er touched the immortal sword with an attitude of facing death. In her heart, she was constantly begging…

—Please, please, Lord Immortal Sword, please let me pass the test! If I don’t pass, my persona will collapse!

—Hum.

Another clear sound.

‘Scorching Sun’ bloomed with a rosy light and trembled slightly.

“This is…” Su Li’er was pleasantly surprised, her eyes moist.

“It succeeded.” Tang Yingyue sighed.

“Of course it would succeed,” Song Ruoxue responded indifferently, a faint smile on her lips.

Then, in the next second.

‘Scorching Sun’ turned into a streak of light and flew into the backyard on its own at an extremely fast speed, crashing heavily onto the ground and breaking through the earth.

A trail of flame was left in mid-air.

“…”x3

The three women were left at the scene, looking at each other.

The atmosphere was strangely quiet, to the extreme.

“Sec… Sect Master.” Su Li’er sobbed. She wanted to bury her little head in the ground and didn’t dare to look up.

“This situation… is really rare.” Song Ruoxue held it in for a long time and only managed to say this sentence. “It’s not unheard of for a master to be rejected in the past, but…”

“But this is the first time a master has been rejected by all the immortal swords at the same time, right?” Tang Yingyue added. At this point, she had also put away her attitude of being a bystander and didn’t understand why this had happened.

I’t was impossible for the immortal swords to all make a mistake at the same time.’

‘There was only one real answer.’

‘Which means…’

At this thought, both women’s gazes landed on Su Li’er at the same time, full of confusion and self-doubt.

They were clearly rivals, yet they had a rare tacit understanding and remained silent at the same time.

They were both pondering some profound matter.

Su Li’er was so scared she took a small step back. Her face was pale, and her heart was in her throat.

‘I’m so screwed!’

‘They already suspect me…’

‘Damn it.’

‘If I had known, I wouldn’t have chosen any immortal sword, ahhhhhh!’

After thinking it over, Song Ruoxue asked in a relatively tactful way, “Little Li, how have you been lately?”

Su Li’er showed a smile that was uglier than crying. “I… I’m fine. I’m very happy and very positive. Sect Master, you have to believe me. I’m a good person!”

Song Ruoxue nodded with regret. “Alright, of course I believe Little Li.”

“Is this child that bad? I don’t think so.” Tang Yingyue came back to her senses, in a daze.

Regarding this point of view, her rival Song Ruoxue agreed, “Little Li is very kind, very brave, very sincere, and has a strong sense of justice. I know all of this. I think it’s more likely that there’s something wrong with the immortal swords.”

“Hey, Song Ruoxue, do you think there’s a possibility… that this child was already chosen by a stronger immortal sword from the very beginning, and that’s why the other few immortal swords fled in defeat?” Tang Yingyue asked.

“What you, this useless dragon, said makes sense, but…” Song Ruoxue scanned the courtyard, her words trailing off.

This posture clearly said: there are no more immortal swords in this courtyard, are there?

“That’s true, this point of view is not reliable,” Tang Yingyue shook her head.

At this moment, the last black and lacquered immortal sword in front of Su Li’er emitted thick smoke and a strange black spiritual energy, and it trembled with extreme excitement.

Su Li’er’s highly tense nerves quickly noticed this. In her terrified eyes.

The demon sword, like a clingy little cat, snuggled tightly into her arms.

The Demon Sword has recognized its master!
