Sister?

"The first thing I saw when I stepped out of the Repentance Peak was her."

When Zhen Xian uttered those words, he simply gazed at the fading night sky and remained silent.

Jiang Lin knew that what happened next was a knot in his heart, but since he didn't say anything, Jiang Lin wouldn't ask any further.

"It's my fault that she got hurt."

Lying on the bow of the boat, Zhen Xian slowly closed his eyes.

"Perhaps." Standing up, Jiang Lin picked up the wine jug and walked back, already somewhat drunk. "However, although we only met once, I could tell she didn't hate you."

"Oh, and one more thing." After taking a few steps, Jiang Lin turned back, "Your girlfriend is really beautiful."

Brother Jiang!

Just as Jiang Lin was about to jump off the spaceship and ride the giant bird with Niannian, Zhen Xian called out to him.

"Um?"

Standing up, Zhen Xian looked directly at Jiang Lin, then bowed deeply and said, "I have a question I don't understand."

"Ask."

"In Brother Jiang's opinion, what are the Three Restraints of a Gentleman?"

"When young, one's blood and energy are not yet settled, so one should guard against lust, against indulging in lust, not against passion."

When they reach adulthood, their blood and energy are at their peak. They should be wary of fighting, especially fighting for the sake of righteousness, rather than fighting because of their own inherent desires.

When one grows old, one's blood and energy decline, and one should be wary of greed and insatiable desires, rather than dwelling on the pride of youth.

This is my understanding.

Jiang Lin waved his hand.

"Zhen Xian, does your teacher really think you're wrong? If so, you would have lost your title of 'wise man' long ago."

After Jiang Lin finished speaking, he jumped off the spaceship. Jiang Lin Sheng Yu him, and the father and daughter soared freely on the back of the giant bird. Only Zhen Xian remained in the distance, his hands clasped in prayer, not letting go for a long time.

Another advantage of the spaceships in the White Emperor City Imperial Palace Treasury is that they can navigate automatically.

The next morning, Jiang Lin gently stroked Niannian's tail. Niannian's tail flicked gently, and Jiang Lin flicked it again. Niannian hugged her tail to her chest, and Jiang Lin pinched Niannian's little face.

Finally, Niannian, who could only be woken up by her dad, sat up with a long, stick-out hair sticking up. She changed into a floral dress and went to brush her teeth and wash her face with her dad.

When Sheng Yu saw Jiang Lin's dark circles, he was taken aback.

"Brother Jiang, didn't you sleep well?"

"No, I'm just a little nervous..."

Jiang Lin didn't actually know why he was so nervous.

But last night, when Jiang Lin, he got up and looked at the map, only to find that he would be able to reach the Ten Thousand Swords Sect by noon the next day!

The thought of seeing his senior sister soon made Jiang Lin's heart race, and his right eyelid twitched so hard it almost rolled up.

"I know." Sheng Yu patted Jiang Lin's shoulder with its wingtip. "I've heard that the girls of the Sword Sect are incredibly spirited, and that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect even has a rule that female disciples can become someone else's Sword Servant based on their own will. Brother Jiang, is that...?"

How dare you slander someone's innocence! Do you think I, Jiang Lin, am that kind of person?

"Oh? Isn't that right? I was just thinking, Brother Jiang, are you going to join me in flooding those maids and turning them into drowned rats?"

"..."

"What's wrong?"

"No, then why did you lay all that groundwork just now?"

"Tell me the setting."

"..."

"It was my fault." Jiang Lin patted Sheng Yu on the shoulder. "But Brother Sheng Yu back at the Sword Sect, or you'll end up as chicken slices..."

"But Brother Jiang, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself!"

"Hold on! Think about it! Hold on for a month now, and then we'll go to the Demon Race World, where you can unleash your full potential. Wouldn't that be great?"

Sheng Yu thought for a moment with his bird-like head, then nodded emphatically! He even wanted to urinate to express his excitement.

"So you just have to endure it for now. The harder you suffer now, the more satisfying it will be when you let go!"

"Okay, Brother Jiang! I understand!"

"It's good that you understand."

Jiang Lin wiped away his sweat. If he really went easy on him, not only would Sheng Yu be sliced into chicken pieces, but he himself would probably be finished too.

"By the way, Brother Jiang, why are we going to the Sword Sect?"

"For... for the Sword Sect Saintess!" Jiang Lin raised his head and said slowly.

At that moment, Jiang Lin instantly became a towering figure in Sheng Yu's heart!

He's just Sword Cultivator at the Golden Core Realm! Brother Jiang dares to try and snatch the Holy Maiden from the number one sword sect in the world!

No way! As Brother Jiang's brother, I, Sheng Yu, must help Brother Jiang show off with all my might!

"Hey? By the way, where's Brother Zhen?"

"Oh, that Confucian scholar said that Brother Jiang spoke to him yesterday, and he understood it. So he said he's going to the Demon Race World and won't trouble Brother Jiang any further."

"..."

Jiang Lin was somewhat stunned...

He realized it?

What did he realize?

What did I say yesterday? I drank too much and forgot a bit...

Well, although Jiang Lin didn't know what had happened, it was a good thing that he had figured it out.

However, Jiang Lin was still somewhat worried.

Although he was a Golden Core Realm cultivator, that woman had drained too much of his Yang Qi, and his kidneys weren't as strong as his own. Was he really alright?

Just as Jiang Lin was worrying about Zhen Xian's kidneys, Nian Nian, who seemed to have not slept enough and was Mi Hu in her father's arms, Niannian her delicate little nose.

"Daddy... Daddy..." Niannian gently tugged at Jiang Lin's collar.

What's wrong with Niannian?

"Niannian thinks she can smell her mother's scent."

"?"

Jiang Lin and Sheng Yu then looked around.

Within the towering mountains before the spaceship, raging sword energy surged!

"Boom!"

Just as Jiang Lin was reacting, the autopilot spaceship did not stop at all and crashed straight into the Mountain Protection Array of the Vast and Righteous World!

At the same time, the Sword Sect disciples stopped training, put two fingers together and pointed upwards, sending hundreds of their Natal Flying Sword straight up from below!

Outside the Sword Sect's Sword Forest, a pretty girl who was sparring with nine Flying Sword in the pavilion suddenly sensed something was wrong. After letting out a cry of "Ah!", she quickly covered her head and crouched down in defense.

The nine Flying Sword, now freed from their tethers, fell and formed their own sword array, protecting their young master.

Almost simultaneously, within the Sword Forest, ten thousand swords rang out.

A sword intent swept out, and the magic array set up by the girl's father, Lin Batian, the Sect Leader of the Sword Sect, and Lin Xiuxiu to prevent anyone from entering the Sword Forest and disturbing their daughter's cultivation was destroyed in an instant.

Not only that, but wherever the sword energy reached, the trees in the mountain pavilions were also sliced in two!

"Elder sister..."

Lin Qinglian's dark, jade-like eyes rose from the stone table, and when she saw her sister, a look of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes.

But soon, Lin Qinglian realized something was very wrong...

"Elder sister?"

In the girl's eyes, there was a stunningly beautiful girl in a black and purple dress, but the girl's long hair was loose and her eyes seemed to have lost all their luster.

Even the azure longsword seemed to be wrapped in dark purple Spiritual Power.

"Little Lin... I'm here. We'll always be together, we'll never be apart... forever..."

"Elder sister..."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Lin Qinglian shivered, then, disregarding even the sword, she covered her head and ran away.

"Mother... something's wrong... my sister's broken..."
