Chapter 347 A Little Bit of the Past
Having said that, Yun Zhi, disregarding Yun Li's thoughts, picked up the sword box with one hand and placed the other hand forward:
"please."
Pavor could be described as "clueless," but judging from Yunlu's expression, she was not very welcoming of her father's belongings.
Whether it was due to family reasons or something else, Pavor chose to remain silent.
Yinzhi, however, glanced at the exquisite sword case and her expression darkened slightly.
Yunzhi also noticed the change in his expression.
Perhaps the Suiyang in the box said something...
But he didn't say anything and left Sichen Palace with the delegation.
Yun Li was a little anxious.
But Huaiyan glared at her with a rather imposing air.
Yun Li was like a cat with its fur standing on end, forced to be soothed.
Xing sighed, rubbing his forehead.
Xing saw Yun Li's expression clearly and didn't know what she was thinking, but she knew very well that Yun Li was definitely very dissatisfied.
General Huaiyan was also a bit unlucky.
He didn't want Yun Li to come, but due to a series of coincidences, Yun Li still came.
No matter what's wrong with that sword, once it's in Yun's hands, unless it's a Star God, it will remain as still as a chicken.
Xing looked at Yun Limi, who was puffing up her cheeks.
"Let's go out and have some fun."
She patted Yunli on the shoulder: "Don't worry... Z... Mr. Daji is very capable."
Yun Li was still very worried.
"Even though it comes from Yaoqing... that thing is no simple matter!"
star:……?
You didn't recognize me?
Xing was puzzled.
Did Yun Li not recognize Yun Zhi?
Let's not even talk about the fact that they both have the surname Yun... Okay, maybe Yun Li doesn't have the surname Yun, she just has this name.
But with Emperor Bow and Fate right here, doesn't Yun Li realize it? She's already seen Emperor Bow before.
"No, I have to think of something..."
Yun Li muttered something to herself, then suddenly turned and ran out the door.
Huaiyan watched her run away, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh with a helpless expression.
"Young friend."
He turned to the star:
"Could you please go and check on Yun Li for me? I'm currently unable to leave here."
He still has a lot of things to take care of.
Xing nodded and followed them out of Sichen Palace.
As Huaiyan watched Xing's figure disappear, he spoke a few more words to the people of Sichen Palace, dismissed them, and told them to go about their duties.
After finishing everything, he let out another long sigh.
"This child..."
"You've spoiled me."
A steady voice came from behind me.
Huaiyan, being older and more experienced, heard the familiar voice but didn't turn around, only sighing:
"It is indeed my fault... I kept it from her precisely because of this situation, not wanting to cause any unnecessary trouble, but it has backfired... Could it be that fate truly exists in this world?"
Lan ran to the hidden compartment under the table this time, and remained calm despite hearing Huaiyan's words:
"Perhaps there will be some unexpected encounters. Yun Li is still young, so there should be enough time to teach her."
Arashi has already learned the peculiar excuse of "the child is still young".
In fact, people are relatively tolerant of young children as long as the trouble they cause does not endanger their own interests.
However, He didn't actually have any particular feelings about Yun Li's trouble just now.
Such incidents are quite common in diplomatic settings, especially when the two sides are extremely unequal in strength.
After all, it's not uncommon for people to resort to fists to communicate in formal diplomatic settings.
However, Luofu is currently in a sensitive period. Putting aside other forces, the company owns the world's largest media platform. If something goes wrong, Yunzhi will be both angry and busy.
At that point, Luofu will probably really be thrown into a black hole, and I wonder if IX will eat it.
"Yun Li has already hunted over a hundred swords at such a young age, showing considerable talent. However, Zhu Yuan..."
Lan's voice floated lightly into Huai Yan's ears:
"Although she hunts swords to rid the world of evil, she may still be tainted by demonic energy. You should still be careful to prevent her from going astray."
Yun Li's unrestrained speech in this setting stems from two main reasons: firstly, a lack of political sensitivity; and secondly, likely related to her years of sword hunting experience.
Such deep-seated obsessions might lead to demonic possession at a young age, making one a laughingstock.
Huaiyan lowered his head slightly, and a shadow of memories seemed to drift across his eyes.
"Yes, Master of Fate."
--------------
Xing ran out to find Yun Limi, who was squatting in the corner crying, while Yun Zhi, carrying the sword box, had already boarded the star raft heading to the Gongzao Si Cave Heaven with the messenger of Kalevala and the Pure Beauty Knight.
"Before this sword is delivered to the skilled craftsmen of the Imperial Workshop, I still have some questions about it. I wonder if you two could clear them up for me?"
Pavor and Silver Branch exchanged a glance.
Yinzhi raised her hand to her chest and spoke elegantly:
"Please ask, sir. If I know the answer, I will tell you everything without reservation."
Pavor wasn't used to such formal language, so he spoke much more directly: "May I ask what you would like to know, sir?"
The fox-man youth looked at the sword box with gentle eyes.
—However, the sword in the box… or more precisely, the sword containing Suiyang, only exuded a murderous aura.
Even Suiyang, who has no physical form, only felt a chill down his back at this moment.
"This sword holds a special significance in your Kalevala. I'd like to know, what legends surround this sword in your world?"
Yun Zhi kept smiling.
Once this was mentioned, Pavol started talking non-stop:
"This sword, in my hometown, is called 'Mika Chiwasha.' It holds a revered status and once helped mythical heroes slay demons."
Pavor said with great interest.
Helping mythical heroes slay demons and monsters... It seems that although Suiyang was cast inside, this Suiyang probably didn't do anything earth-shattering.
Otherwise, there probably wouldn't be such a evaluation.
"At the same time, it is also the sword for selecting monarchs. It is said that the ancient kings of Kalevala all received a response from this sword and thus qualified to be kings."
"According to tradition, each king would plunge his sword into a stone tablet, and only the hero recognized by the sword could pull it out and succeed to the throne."
I didn't realize Suiyang cared about this.
How could a creature like Suiyang be able to select the virtuous and capable?
Yun Zhi laughed and said, "This is really interesting. I didn't expect the sword spirit to be so... up-to-date."
Pavor chuckled: "These are all old legends; nobody has ever seen them now."
Yun closed her eyes:
"Times have changed, and the idea of becoming king by drawing a sword is no longer reliable. However, this is still a historical artifact where you are, so why was it returned?"
The sword was made by Han Guang, but it does not completely belong to the Immortal Ship. Han Guang has given away thousands of swords, and once they are given away, they are gone. It is impossible to ask for them back.
Of course, the demonic sword must be destroyed, as it is something that has taken lives.
Pavor answered the question:
"The parliament did argue about it, but they finally reached a consensus: Mika Chiwasha should be returned to where she belongs."
Yinzhi also said, "That day, at the sword spirit's request, I drew the sword and escorted it back to the immortal ship. Moreover, I can recognize some of the characters engraved on the stone tablet."
...With a synesthetic beacon on your body, it would be a miracle if you didn't recognize it, right?
However, the stone tablet...?
"Is it the stone tablet where this sword was located?"
Pavor nodded and said, "Yes, my family has guarded that monument to the nameless hero for generations, and for hundreds of years, golden branches have grown from beneath it, never withering. The Kalevala people regard it as proof of the existence of the myth."
Golden leaves...
Could it be a demonic entity?
"Before setting off again, I broke off a branch, hoping to transplant it to the Immortal Boat Alliance as a testament to the hero's return to his homeland."
Returning to my hometown...
Yun Zhi recalled the story that Sui Yang had told him when he last returned to Luofu.
"What's written on that stone tablet?"
It won't be an easy thing.
But Yunzhi still wanted to know.
"Oh, this..."
Pavor rummaged through his bag and found a photograph: "Although weathered by time and the inscription has been eroded, it is still faintly discernible."
Yunzhi took the photo.
Indeed, the inscription is blurry and unclear, but it consists of only a few simple sentences:
"—Wandering in a foreign land, on the verge of death, I have fortunately fulfilled my duty. If any passerby takes pity on me, please take a handful of yellow earth from before this stele and bury me in Luofu."
In an instant, Yun's mind and spirit were shaken.
But he quickly put the photo down.
Yunzhi maintained her smile and said gently:
"Thank you both. I... have no further questions."
You can't tell anything from their expressions.
Even in terms of language, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
But Yinzhi immediately noticed that the fox-man youth's hands were clenched into fists, with veins bulging on the back of his hands, as if he was trying his best to suppress his trembling.
