"You speak the truth? You really made Ye Sheng switch to cultivating artifacts? You must know that refining artifacts requires learning many things and takes a lot of time; he might not have much time left to practice swordsmanship." Even now, Perfected Ming Shi could hardly believe it, considering how dedicated Ye Qiu used to be to his sword practice.
They, as his martial uncles, could hardly bear to watch the young Ye Sheng practice his sword tirelessly on the peak every day, but they couldn't say that Ye Qiu was wrong; inheriting Ye Qiu's Metal Spirit Root, Ye Sheng could perhaps become another Lonely Swallow Sword Lord. They've seen with Ye Qiu, who became what he is now only through relentless cultivation.
"I've been reflecting on whether I made a mistake. I was able to endure the hardships because I love the Sword Dao, but not Sheng'er; what he loves most is artifact refining. Moreover, you said he has a talent for it," Ye Qiu replied truthfully.
