Chapter 5: Who Dares Bully My Junior Sister

Li Shuang raised her hand and threw the Longyin Sword. The sharp blade pierced straight into the ground.

Long Yan, the sword spirit, was suddenly released from his shackles. He scrambled out impatiently, looking at Li Shuang with a mix of suspicion and unease.

No one knew better than Long Yan himself how much heart and soul Li Shuang had poured into him.

But a sword spirit is also a living being, and they have their own emotions!

Li Shuang was a sword-cultivation fanatic; she was taciturn and knew nothing but practicing with her sword day and night.

He had originally thought that there was nothing wrong with that.

But then, Ye Zhaozhao appeared.

She would smile sweetly at him, gently stroke his blade, and tell him novel stories. She was far better than the ice-cold Li Shuang.

Long Yan felt himself falling uncontrollably in love.

Although he felt a little guilty, he had to betray Li Shuang to be with Ye Zhaozhao.

But now, seeing Li Shuang discard him so casually, Long Yan felt an inexplicable bitterness in his heart.

It was he who didn't want Li Shuang.

It shouldn't be Li Shuang who didn't want him.

"Eldest Senior Sister, are you really giving up the Longyin Sword?" Ye Zhaozhao’s eyes gleamed with greed as she walked over impatiently and grasped the Longyin Sword.

Ye Zhaozhao was so eager that Long Yan couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart. The complex emotions of a moment ago vanished instantly.

Sure enough, only Zhaozhao truly cared for him.

Li Shuang merely glanced at Longyin indifferently: "Once unfaithful, never used again."

Fearing that Li Shuang might change her mind, Ye Zhaozhao gripped Longyin tightly and said without hesitation: "If Eldest Senior Sister doesn't want it, then I do! You can't say that I snatched the treasure sword."

As she spoke, Ye Zhaozhao checked her negative emotion points.

Her brows furrowed again.

Zero!

Li Shuang's negative emotions were still zero!

In the past, her negative emotion points hadn't been this difficult to trigger!

Ye Zhaozhao gritted her teeth. Then, she would add more fuel to the fire!

Suddenly, an incredibly pitch-black sword appeared in her hand.

The sword's name: Heiyuan.

It was her own piece-of-trash sword.

Ye Zhaozhao said with feigned sincerity: "Eldest Senior Sister, now that you are without Long Yan, you are lacking a suitable sword. Since I have Long Yan now, I have no use for my original Heiyuan. Why don't you take this sword I no longer need?"

As Ye Zhaozhao spoke, a trace of smugness flashed across her brow.

She was giving Li Shuang a sword she didn't want.

Given Li Shuang's proud and arrogant nature, she would likely refuse flatly.

At that point, she would put on a tearful display, claiming that Li Shuang looked down on her, which would surely incite Sheng Yuan's anger once again.

With such repeated provocations, she didn't believe Li Shuang wouldn't explode with negative emotions!

Li Shuang looked at the Heiyuan sword indifferently.

She knew the Heiyuan sword. Ever since Ye Zhaozhao obtained it, she had never been able to awaken its sword spirit. The sword had become a useless piece of scrap.

"Senior Sister, disciples of the Sword Sect can only enter the Sword Pavilion once in their lives. While outside swords are good, they lack the innate sword spirits of those in the Sword Pavilion. You should take this Heiyuan sword; although the sword spirit is still sleeping, perhaps you could awaken it," Ye Zhaozhao said very earnestly.

Li Shuang couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Ye Zhaozhao and was about to turn and leave.

Suddenly, the Heaven and Earth Furnace began to glow with a bright light.

As Li Shuang walked away, the light slowly dimmed.

She took a few steps back, and the light brightened again.

Li Shuang’s gaze rested hesitantly on the Heiyuan sword.

It seemed...

The changes in the Heaven and Earth Furnace had started the moment this sword appeared.

"Eldest Senior Sister, even though it's a sword I don't want, I am truly considering your needs," Ye Zhaozhao continued.

Li Shuang gently placed her hand on the Heiyuan sword.

In the next instant, the progress bar of the Heaven and Earth Furnace surged directly to one hundred percent.

However, except for the one percent that had already been achieved, the remaining ninety-nine percent was translucent.

Li Shuang had a feeling that as long as she absorbed this Heiyuan sword, the translucent progress bar would become solid, and the Heaven and Earth Furnace would be able to open directly!

This sword!

It was likely not simple!

Li Shuang spoke directly: "Fine, I will take the Heiyuan sword."

Ye Zhaozhao had been waiting for Li Shuang to refuse, and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Shuang, however, had already unceremoniously put away the Heiyuan sword.

Ye Zhaozhao couldn't help but knit her brows.

For some reason, today's Li Shuang felt much harder to deal with than before.

It was just a piece of trash, so giving it to Li Shuang was no big deal.

Ye Zhaozhao’s mind stirred, and she took the initiative to say: "Eldest Senior Sister, we have voluntarily exchanged swords. Even if the Sect Master asks about it later, we cannot go back on our word."

Li Shuang looked at her calmly: "As long as you don't go back on your word."

Ye Zhaozhao hurriedly said: "So many people are watching, how could I go back on my word?"

The Scripture Pavilion was one of the busiest places in the entire Sword Sect, and with the commotion, quite a few disciples were watching from the sidelines. The two had completed the exchange in full public view.

"That's good," Li Shuang said calmly.

Ye Zhaozhao checked the system.

Negative emotions, still zero!

Although she had just obtained a treasure sword, she felt vaguely restless.

Ye Zhaozhao couldn't help but say: "Senior Sister, the Master is furious about you leaving us behind during the crisis. You should return to Lingxu Peak with us and hear what the Master has to say."

Sheng Yuan said coldly: "That is only right!"

Li Shuang’s voice was cold: "I never left you behind, and I will not be returning to Lingxu Peak this time. The Master said that I am no longer his disciple, and you have no need to call me Senior Sister anymore."

Li Shuang possessed a top-grade Ice Spirit Root, and she was usually cold and distant, but Ye Zhaozhao and the others knew that this Eldest Senior Sister was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

But at this moment, Li Shuang gave off a coldness that permeated from the inside out!

Ye Zhaozhao’s expression was slightly suspicious; what exactly had happened to her?

Sheng Yuan could no longer restrain himself and said sternly: "Everything must be decided by the Master! Eldest Senior Sister, you had better obediently return to Lingxu Peak with me!"

He took out a rope-like magical artifact, intending to forcibly bind Li Shuang.

Li Shuang frowned slightly.

At this moment, the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Technique was pushed to its limit, and the trajectory of the magical artifact became incredibly clear in her eyes.

She was just about to dodge.

Suddenly, a woman in fluttering red robes appeared on the scene and grabbed the rope.

A faint, elusive smile played on Luo Mingyue’s lips: "Who dares to bully my Junior Sister?"

Following the resonance of the jade slip, she had first gone outside the sect to search, and later, sensing a change, she had hurried back.

It wasn't until just now, when the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Technique was pushed to its limit and the jade slip glowed brilliantly, that Luo Mingyue instantly locked onto her target!

She didn't know what was happening on the scene, but she only knew that the Junior Sister personally designated by the Master was being bullied by others.

This was intolerable!
