Chapter 1292: See
“It’s a long story, and I don’t think you would like to hear it.” Shang Yulin didn’t seem to have any intentions of talking about it.
Chu Liuyue’s lips moved, and she said, “After coming to the academy, I did hear quite a bit about that person.”
Shang Yulin looked at her in shock and instantly smiled in understanding. “That’s true. The Qing Yun Ranking has always been there, and only her name is erased. It’s inevitable that there will be some news.”
Unlike the mysterious behavior the elders have toward me, Shang Yulin’s att.i.tude seems much more relaxed when he talks about this. Perhaps it’s because he isn’t an official elder in the academy, Chu Liuyue thought to herself secretly.
“Actually, when you talk about it, she and you are pretty similar in many areas.” Shang Yulin sized Chu Liuyue up. “Back when she came to the academy, she was also sent to Fengmin Mountain on the second day. When she came out later on, she kept committing mistakes. However, the director protected her, and the elders also doted on her. Hence, they always closed an eye and couldn’t bear to punish her severely.”
He sighed rather emotionally. “It’s a pity that later on…”
His voice suddenly trailed off.
Chu Liuyue felt very complicated.
Actually, after she came to the academy, she also faintly felt that the elders were very kind and even indulged her back then. If not, how could they allow a student like her to casually open the academy barrier?
They were biased in the end.
…
It was a pity she didn’t remember all of this. Even when Shang Yulin talked about saving her, she had no impression of it at all.
“Forget it. Let the past be the past.” Shang Yulin quickly adjusted himself and looked at Chu Liuyue expectantly. “The Chi Xiao Sword—”
Chu Liuyue slightly nodded. A thought surfaced in her mind, and she summoned it over!
She pa.s.sed the sword over. “Elder, please.”
Shang Yulin’s breathing paused for a moment, and his eyes were as if glued onto the Chi Xiao Sword.
...
Agitation, pa.s.sion, emotion… That was the gaze of being able to see it after so many years!
He took a deep breath in and reached out to take the sword. But after stretching his hand out halfway, he hurriedly wiped it against his s.h.i.+rt and took the sword carefully and sincerely.
Even though Chu Liuyue knew that he liked the Chi Xiao Sword, she didn’t expect him to treat it so solemnly. This had clearly become his obsession.
Shang Yulin tightly grabbed the sword sheath and the hilt as he gathered all his focus. When he calmed down a little more, he started to take the Chi Xiao Sword out gradually.
It was bright, cold, and sharp! Just looking at it almost caused one to be hurt by the terrifying sword aura!
Shang Yulin’s cheeks turned red from being too agitated, and his eyes lit up. “Supreme Yuan instrument… It indeed lives up to its name!”
His gaze carefully swept across it, including every single line on the sword sheath, the dragon head on the hilt, and the perfect sword body!
Every area was done perfectly!
On the side, Chu Liuyue saw that he couldn’t conceal his excitement and felt very emotional at that moment. Perhaps this Is a true Armory Refinement Master! They always have a respectful and loving att.i.tude toward elite Yuan instruments! It’s hard to imagine that someone who is carefree and cool to the outside world has such sincere and serious moments.
s.h.i.+ng!
Shang Yulin finally pulled the sword out!
The sword weighed a ton, and even he had to use a lot of effort to lift it up.
The strong suppression almost made him unable to breathe. However, Shang Yulin still insisted on holding it up, but his hands shook greatly.
Chu Liuyue narrowed her eyes. That’s weird. It wasn’t heavy when I held it, but why did it become like this in Shang Yulin’s hands? Even when I first fought with Jin Lei for this item, and it had yet to recognize an owner, its weight didn’t seem so exaggerated…
She thought for a while and still expressed her doubts.
Shang Yulin was caught between laughter and tears. “Silly! Previously, this Chi Xiao Sword didn’t have a weapon soul, so it had a normal weight. Hence, many people could s.n.a.t.c.h it! Now that you’ve refined its weapon soul and even became its owner, it’ll naturally be more than ten or a hundred times heavier than before!”
Finally, he couldn’t take it anymore and put the Chi Xiao Sword down.
When the tip of the sword was inserted into the ground, a giant crack instantly appeared!
He breathed heavily and said, “Do you think everyone is as lucky as you?!”
Chu Liuyue immediately understood. “I see! Thank you for your guidance, Elder!”
“You, you, you—” Shang Yulin raised a hand and pointed at her. Sigh, this world is really unfair! I had thought about this Chi Xiao Sword for many years, but it was all for naught. It’s hard for me to even hold it up. Chu Yue knows nothing about this, yet he suddenly became the Chi Xiao Sword’s master! There will always be someone who is better.
Meeting Chu Liuyue’s pure and clean gaze, he couldn’t say a single word. Forget it. What’s the use of talking about this?
“There, for you!” Shang Yulin pushed the Chi Xiao Sword to Chu Liuyue.
“You’re… not going to examine it in detail anymore?” Chu Liuyue was quite surprised. Previously, didn’t he say that he wanted to study it closely? This seems rather fast, right?
Shang Yulin couldn’t help but laugh. “I just wanted to see its structure. What did you think I was looking at? Even if I examine it for another day or month, it will never be mine! Faster! This thing is too heavy!”
He urged her.
Chu Liuyue then reached out and took the Chi Xiao Sword back.
She held it up and looked at it. “Did you say that you were looking at its structure? Is this very important?”
