Jingliu: Damn, What a Stat Monster!

Gwen saw the longing in his eyes and smiled as he raised the sword in his hand.

"No, this sword is a powerful weapon."

In response, Yanqing subconsciously took a half step back and waved her hands repeatedly.

He really enjoyed looking at swords, and even used to freeload at Jing Yuan's place every month because of it, but this sword clearly had a different meaning for Gwen.

"This sword is indeed of great significance, but it is not just a decorative vase."

The heroic spirits of those Sea Ranger gave this sword new life, and even after being reforged, it still carries the spirit of the Hunt. As a rising star of the Xianzhou, perhaps you can sense something from it?

"In that case, I will thank you on behalf of Yanqing."

Before Jing Yuan could speak, Yanqing smiled and thanked him, then took the Final Sword from Gwen's hand and slowly drew it from its sheath. His seemingly lazy golden eyes seemed to reflect a hazy, misty scene.

"General..."

Yanqing had just been beaming with joy, looked at Jing Yuan holding the sword tightly and couldn't help but show a hint of grievance. However, he always knew that Jing Yuan wouldn't make a fuss without a reason, so he just moved closer to observe it carefully.

However, compared to what Jing Yuan saw, what Yanqing's pale yellow eyes reflected was more of a clear, cold sword light.

Seeing that the master and apprentice seemed to be engrossed in their reading, Gwen did not disturb them, but simply picked up the teapot and poured himself a drink.

Technically speaking, this sword is far less exquisite than the sword that Yanqing purchased at a high price from the Luofu Bureau of Construction.

However, in essence, this sword is far superior to those other swords. Even the swords crafted by the master craftsmen of the Xianzhou are far inferior to the Final Sword.

After all, even the craftsmen of the Xianzhou couldn't cram a dozen different powers into a single sword.

Just as Gwen had emptied the teapot and was looking for a place to refill it with hot water, Jing Yuan finally closed his eyes slowly and sighed softly—

"It is truly an extraordinary sword—"

Please accept this, sir.

As he spoke, Jing Yuan solemnly sheathed the sword and returned it to Gwen.

Jing Yuan saw many things in this sword.

Even though he only longed for the Sea Ranger but was trapped by worldly affairs and never put it into practice, he still saw the will of the Sea Ranger and the belief that was worthy of the name of the Hunt.

Gwen, who is capable of wielding this sword... is unlikely to cooperate with the Annihilation Lord to harm the Xianzhou, and it is even unlikely that he would take advantage of the chaos.

"Nature."

Gwen and Jing Yuan exchanged a glance, smiled and nodded, then sheathed their swords.

"General!"

Yanqing, who was behind Jing Yuan, suddenly spoke up.

"Um?"

Jing Yuan, who was adding water to the teapot, turned his head to look and saw that Yanqing's eyes were bright and piercing, and a sharp aura had silently appeared on his body, like a sword drawn from its sheath.

"To break the current chaos in Luofu, the simplest way is to capture those two Stellarons Hunters and send them to the Divination Department to Grand Void Array!"

"..."

Jing Yuan wanted to say something, but seeing the fierce fighting spirit emanating from Yanqing, he couldn't help but smile and give Gwen a helpless look.

Clearly, Yanqing also saw something in Gwen's sword, but whatever it was, it was definitely different from what he had seen, making Yanqing's blood boil and wanting nothing more than to find the Stellarons Hunters of the Chaos Xianzhou and fight him to the death.

"..."

Faced with Jing Yuan's helpless gaze, Gwen simply smiled and remained silent, pretending not to see Jing Yuan's eyes.

"Oh...

Go, go...

However, before you leave, I have something to tell you—"

Jing Yuan smiled helplessly and waved to Yanqing, but before Yanqing, who was overjoyed and about to take a step, could speak, he called him back.

"Please give your instructions, General."

Yanqing immediately clasped his hands in greeting.

"Never be misled by the appearance of things."

Jing Yuan stood up and slowly looked out the window at the simulated scenery in the grotto-heaven.

"If you desire the Luofu Sword, then your eyes cannot be fixed solely on the sword."

Your sword will not only be your sword, but also the sword of Luofu.

"You must carefully observe how Luofu's sword will be drawn."

"Please rest assured, General, Yanqing will carefully consider his options before drawing his sword, and will never harm an innocent person or let a villain go unpunished."

In high spirits, Yanqing readily agreed and was about to leave when Jing Yuan called her back—

"Hold on--"

When Jing Yuan called out to Yanqing, he looked at Gwen instead.

"I wonder if Gwen would have the time to accompany Yanqing on this journey?"

"Certainly."

Gwen had just picked up his teacup, raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised but still readily agreed.

"I'll disguise myself Divine Might Palace from Cloud Cavalry Shence Army and follow behind Brother Yanqing."

As he spoke, Gwen stood up and with a wave of his hand, the Cloud Cavalry outfit that had been placed on the shelf to the side flew onto Gwen's body, instantly concealing his appearance and making him indistinguishable from an ordinary Cloud Cavalry.

"Then I'll trouble you, sir."

Jing Yuan smiled and then looked at Yanqing—

"At this moment, the Annihilation Lord has infiltrated Luofu. No one can say for sure whether there are other people with ill intentions. With Gwen here, your cooperation will provide an extra layer of protection."

"Yes."

Yanqing responded in a deep voice, and then said to Gwen—

"Sir, please—"

"I am just an ordinary soldier, please let the Winged Guard go first."

Gwen's voice became hoarse and muffled.

"I need to inform Winged Guard of some basic precautions for Cloud Cavalry, lest I be suspected of being a spy by my own people."

"Okay, we'll talk on the way."

Yanqing nodded and led Gwen away from the main hall of the Divine Might Palace.

Watching the two leave, Jing Yuan walked to the window with his hands behind his back, gazing at their receding figures, and sighed helplessly.

"The water in the box has been stored for a long time; when will it be ready to be tested?"

"Today, my fighting spirit has been ignited by the chivalry of the Sea Ranger, and I'm already eager to test my sword. That's not the demeanor a swordsman should have..."

After the two left the Divine Might Palace, Jing Yuan turned back and whispered—

"Fu Qing, what do you think?"

Chapter 907 Jingliu: That Damn Numerical Monster!

Unaware that tepy-c Fu Xuan had logged off as soon as he entered, he had actually been lurking silently all along. At this moment, he was discussing himself with Jing Yuan. Gwen followed Yanqing out of the Divine Might Palace, acting just like an ordinary Cloud Cavalry, assisting Yanqing in his investigation.

"It feels a bit like I was involved in the entire mission with them?"

Watching Yanqing diligently pursuing the clues, Gwen smiled inwardly, not finding it boring at all.

Consider it a ticket to see Jingliu.

After all, if he hadn't gone with Yanqing, it wouldn't have been easy for him to meet Jingliu in a straightforward manner.

Not long after, Gwen saw a cold, aloof figure amidst the Mara-Struck.

"How could there be civilians here?"

Please, sir, help me save this young lady.

Seeing that someone was trapped, Yanqing immediately drew his sword, while simultaneously calling for help from Gwen.

He still remembered Gwen's silent performance of making people appear out of thin air; the distance was much shorter than that of the Divination Department.

"Good."

Gwen didn't waste any words, responded, and his hand had already opened a spatial passage.

Grabbing the blue-skirted, white-haired woman's wrist, Gwen felt an icy chill in his hand. He pulled her, but she remained motionless as if rooted to the spot.

The next moment, the woman who noticed Gwen's movement also suddenly exerted force in her arm, and the chilling aura became even stronger as it attacked Gwen's hand.

Faced with immense strength that seemed completely disproportionate to her slender arms, Gwen did not budge an inch.

With a thought, an equally icy aura pushed back the coldness emanating from the other person, and at the same time, he exerted force with his arm again, directly pulling the aloof figure across the spatial passage.

"Alright, the person is here. Yanqing, you can get started."

Gwen clapped his hands and said to Yanqing.

"Thank you for your help, sir. Leave the rest to me."

Yanqing nodded, his body radiating a sharp sword intent, and his figure suddenly darted out, rushing towards the demon horde not far away.

Gwen wasn't worried that Yanqing couldn't even handle this group of rabble, and turned to look at Jingliu beside him.

The black veil obscuring her eyes still revealed her stunning beauty. Her aloof demeanor and white hair evoked the image of the bright moon in the night sky, conveying a sense of coldness, loneliness, and alienation.

Gwen looked at Jingliu, Jingliu was also sizing up Gwen.

However, Gwen, who was completely covered up by his Cloud Cavalry attire, was impossible to discern anything about. Even his aura was no different from that of an ordinary person, making it impossible for Jingliu to see anything.

"...

Has the Xianzhou fallen to such a state?

"Someone like you can only be a bodyguard for a child?"

Jingliu spoke, his tone filled with obvious mockery and dissatisfaction.

Leaving aside his spatial abilities, even from just the brief physical contact, Jingliu could tell that Gwen's strength was far superior to Yanqing's.

However, Gwen was dressed as an ordinary Cloud Cavalry, leaving the opportunity to shine to Yanqing...

"Not long ago, when we left Divine Might Palace, General Jing Yuan said, 'Never be deceived by the appearance of things.'"

How could you possibly know that I'm Yanqing's bodyguard, and not that Yanqing is just using me as a cover?

Hearing Jingliu's blunt and sharp words, Gwen smiled and said.

He's not Xianzhou native, and Jingliu's words could be seen as him speaking up for him. What's there to be unhappy about?

"..."

Jingliu silent for a moment, seemingly not expecting Gwen to accuse her of judging by appearance, and her words softened considerably.

"It was I who was presumptuous."

"This young lady is no ordinary person either. If I hadn't had some strength, my arm would probably have been torn off and frozen into a chicken claw by that force just now."

Seeing the strange emotion flickering at the corner of Jingliu's mouth, Gwen chuckled softly, but his words gradually turned cold—

"With such cultivation, the young lady doesn't seem like a commentator who likes to criticize current affairs..."

So please reveal your identity, young lady.

If you don't have your identification documents with you, please come with us back to the Divine Might Palace.

"Oh?"

Jingliu slightly raised his head, scrutinizing Gwen through the black veil that covered his eyes.

"Instead of thinking about how to deal with the demonic chaos and hunt down the culprits who have caused so much trouble on the Xianzhou, the Cloud Cavalry is taking their anger out on me, a commoner?"

"The strength you used just now is not something an ordinary person could possess."

Gwen reached out and grabbed Jingliu's wrist, no matter how much he dodged. His other hand, now free of gauntlets, gently swept across Jingliu's palm, the warm hand brushing against the cool skin.

"Although there are no calluses on her hands, it is still clear that she has been handling weapons for many years. Please cooperate with the investigation, this 'commoner' girl."

"Oh...
