Feng Xi at first didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. Only after hearing Jun Wen speak did she belatedly become dumbfounded.
"Fifth Senior Brother, the sword intents in the auxiliary cave were indeed destroyed by me, but the ones in Wan Jian Cave, they choked each other to death themselves!
This seems unrelated to us!"
Jun Wen: "Do you think if you say that, anyone will believe it?"
Feng Xi: "...No one will believe it."
Anyone hearing it would think they were talking nonsense and shirking responsibility.
After a long silence, Feng Xi suddenly said, "Fifth Senior Brother, from this matter I've learned an important lesson, you must always carry a shadow-stone. Whenever there's the slightest movement, record it!"
Jun Wen: "…"
You still have the heart to think about this?! First think about how to explain to Master and the sect!
After a while, Jun Wen gritted his teeth, "Little Junior Sister, when we go out, just push everything onto me. I will take this responsibility.
Anyway, I've lived enough. Even if I'm executed, it doesn't matter.
After I'm gone, you must be filial to Master, don't let the old man grieve for me…"
Feng Xi rolled her eyes, "Fifth Senior Brother, when you encounter a problem, you think of solving the problem, stop saying these useless things.
Let me ask you, how did the sword intents in Wan Jian Cave come to be?"
Jun Wen was moved by his own speech and choked slightly, "I did see relevant records in the sect classics. It requires gathering many swordsmanship experts to sense the sword intents within Wan Jian Wall, guiding them to separate out a portion of sword intent and lead it into Wan Jian Cave.
Currently in our Xuantian Sect, the number of people who qualify as swordsmanship experts is no more than five, but the classics said that in the past they gathered three thousand people.
So, Little Junior Sister, just give up this idea!
You should use my method!
If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? As long as you're well, I will die without regret!"
Feng Xi hooked her lips, "Fifth Senior Brother, if you walk out alive, Master and the others will interrogate you and you'll slip up immediately. Why don't you just kill yourself now?
I'll take your corpse out. That way there will be no flaw."
Jun Wen: "..."
Suddenly he didn't want to die anymore.
Seeing he wasn't drilling himself deeper into the bull's horn, Feng Xi asked, "Fifth Senior Brother, those sword intents couldn't have killed each other for no reason. Let's carefully recall what happened, maybe we'll find a clue."
Jun Wen recalled and said, "You said you wanted to go to Wan Jian Wall to obtain a flying sword, I said you could definitely do it. Then I sensed my flying sword start buzzing, and then the sword intents went berserk.
Little Junior Sister, do you think maybe you're too useless, so the sword intents heard you were going to take a sword and killed themselves out of anger?"
Feng Xi: …If you can't speak properly, then don't speak!
She thought for a moment, her gaze falling onto the wooden sword she had tossed aside earlier.
"Fifth Senior Brother, do you think it's possible this wooden sword caused trouble?
After all, I scolded it before."
Jun Wen thought his Little Junior Sister was probably scared into insanity!
This broken wooden sword wasn't even worthy of being burned as firewood, let alone making such a big scene!
Feng Xi also thought her idea was ridiculous, but for now she could only treat a dead horse as living.
She bit her finger and dripped blood onto the wooden sword, nothing happened.
She tried a few more times, still no result, so she could only give up.
At this moment, the little black ball's voice sounded inside Feng Xi's spiritual sense, "Tsk tsk, just this little thing and you're stumped like this? Beg me.
Beg me and I'll tell you the solution."
Hmph!
The stinky brat still wants to control me?
Look, the chance has delivered itself to the door!
This time she must beg me!
But Feng Xi, hearing its words, only coldly laughed.
Immediately after, the little black ball screamed in pain, and the small flames of its resistance were instantly extinguished.
"Mas—Master, I was just joking!
You two only want to separate sword intents from Wan Jian Wall, right? I can do that!
Sword intent is essentially remnant will. What they call swordsmanship experts is just people whose aura makes sword intent feel affinity.
But I am the Spirit of Chaos, the father of all things, those remnant wills naturally feel close to me.
So long as I take action, separating the sword intents is a piece of cake."
Feng Xi no longer had the energy to complain about what father of all things. As long as the sword intents could be separated, nothing mattered more.
Thus she began praising the little black ball against her conscience.
The little black ball almost puffed itself up into a big black ball!
But no one expected that the sword intents in Wan Jian Cave suddenly recovered, and were slightly stronger than before.
Even the sword intents in the auxiliary cave recovered.
Jun Wen and Feng Xi were completely stunned.
The little black ball's tiny eyes turned, who's the turtle bastard stealing this young master's credit?!
Finally, its gaze fell onto the wooden sword.
Because earlier Feng Xi dripped blood on it, the sword's body now had faint red patterns.
The little black ball instantly thought the wooden sword was offensive to the eyes.
Hmph! Sooner or later it would persuade the stinky girl to burn it!
Regardless of its thoughts, Feng Xi and Jun Wen were overjoyed.
The two even guessed that the sword intents weren't really gone, but had simply taken a longer rest.
However, the two no longer dared to entangle with the sword intents in Wan Jian Cave, fearing they'd cause new trouble.
So they stayed in the auxiliary cave, casually blocking a few moves whenever sword intents emerged.
When bored, Feng Xi began drawing on the cave wall.
She drew a row of little turtle bastards.
This guy even justified, "When some junior brother or sister gets punished and sent here later, they can look at these to pass the time. I'm really too helpful!"
Jun Wen: "..."
Soon, after the three-day punishment was over, they were released.
As soon as they exited, they sensed something wrong with the patrolling disciples' expressions.
"What happened?"
That disciple gritted his teeth, "Some brazenly bold bastard drew a row of little turtle bastards on Wan Jian Wall! And no matter what method we use, it can't be erased! Our Sect Master is about to explode!
This is an insult and a provocation to our Xuantian Sect!
Now the Sect Master is conducting a strict investigation about the matter!
If they find out who did it, they will make sure he dies without a corpse, his soul scatters, and he will never reincarnate!"
Jun Wen: "..."
Feng Xi: "..."
The two exchanged a glance and sprinted toward Wan Jian Wall. And there they saw that row of little turtle bastards.
Lifelike.
Adorably lively.
Feng Xi almost cried!
How could it look exactly like what she drew on the cave wall?
Suddenly, she turned and bolted back.
Seeing the patrol disciple, she said, "Senior Brother, I left something in the auxiliary cave. Can I go take it?"
The patrol disciple awkwardly said, "Junior Sister Feng Xi, without an order from the Transmission Hall or Law Enforcement Hall, we cannot let anyone inside.
How about this, tell me what you left behind and I'll retrieve it."
Feng Xi of course didn't dare let him in. She pretended to be careless and found out that the item was in her storage ring, and hurried away.
After walking some distance, she turned serious and looked at Jun Wen, "Fifth Senior Brother, do you know the fastest method to violate sect rules, one that will definitely get us thrown into Wan Jian Cave?"
Jun Wen of course knew her intention, she wanted to go erase the little turtle bastards.
He scratched his head and suggested several methods, but Feng Xi rejected them all, they'd damage her character setting.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, "Fifth Senior Brother, how about I burn the rest of Elder Duanmu's beard?"
Jun Wen: "..."
