Chapter 36 - 35: I’ve been framed!

Chapter 36: Chapter 35: I’ve been framed!

Li Nanfeng was stunned.

"That... is that Ling Tian Sword Master’s lifebound sword?"

A person’s lifebound sword carries their most crucial heart blood.

For a powerhouse like Ling Tian Sword Master, his lifebound sword contains a part of his strength. With Ling Tian Sword Master’s cultivation, it’s completely understandable that the sword could effortlessly cleave through the bodies of demon beasts.

But!

Very few powerhouses would give away their lifebound swords.

The reason is simple.

The lifebound sword contains the heart blood of the powerhouse.

If it falls into the hands of an enemy, especially one adept at curses, they could easily use that bit of heart blood to curse and kill him!

Ling Tian Sword Master, he actually gave away his lifebound sword!

Isn’t he afraid that the sword could be taken by others?

Li Nanfeng’s heart was racing with wild thoughts.

Let alone the sword’s power, if he could get hold of this sword and bring it back to the Sect Leader Master, he was sure that Master would have a way to kill Ling Tian Sword Master silently and without trace.

Li Nanfeng knew very well how much the Sect Leader feared Ling Tian Sword Master. If he brought this sword to the Master...

Li Nanfeng looked at the naive Lu Zhuoyan and gloated silently in his heart.

Fate had smiled upon him, allowing him to come across such a greenhorn.

Li Nanfeng immediately grabbed Lu Zhuoyan’s hand with enthusiastic warmth, "Junior Brother, are you sure that’s the Sword Master’s lifebound sword? Such an important item, how could the Sword Master give it away so easily?"

Lu Zhuoyan shyly smiled, "Master told me that with this sword, my chances of survival would greatly increase."

Li Nanfeng’s eyes flickered.

He understood!

Ling Tian Sword Master took such a huge risk all for his illegitimate child.

From this, it can be seen how dearly the Sword Master cherishes Lu Zhuoyan.

Li Nanfeng continued to inquire, "Then why didn’t the Sword Master directly hand the sword to you, or to Mu Nanqing, but instead gave it to someone with the lowest cultivation?"

Lu Zhuoyan looked nervously around, then whispered, "Brother Li, you should know. The lifebound sword contains part of Master’s strength. It doesn’t require the user to have much strength, but the sword’s power far exceeds our capacity to bear. Using it is possible, but it could harm our foundations. Master told me privately that Sister Mu is his foremost disciple. If she finds her opportunity in the Myriad Magic Forbidden Land, she may vie for the Sect Leader seat in the future! As for me, I am physically weak, and Master worried about me using it. So, in the end, it was given to Sister Shi."

Upon hearing this, Li Nanfeng looked at Shi Nian with a subtle look of sympathy.

He understood.

Using this sword could injure the foundation.

But as for Shi Nian, who was already considered worthless, Ling Tian Sword Master simply didn’t care if her foundation was damaged.

It’s clear that all those rumors about how the Sword Masters in the sect cherished Shi Nian were false.

Compared to Shi Nian.

The one the Sword Master truly cherished was Mu Nanqing and even more so this fragile young man before him.

Shi Nian was puzzled by the look Li Nanfeng gave her.

She widened her eyes and glared back.

This time, Li Nanfeng wasn’t angry. On the contrary, he gave Shi Nian a pitiful smile, then turned around to continue talking with Lu Zhuoyan.

Shi Nian was even more baffled.

In a low voice, she asked Mu Nanqing, "Senior Sister? What’s going on? What does that look from Li Nanfeng mean?"

Mu Nanqing’s expression was lifeless, "He looked at you? Then just kill him."

Shi Nian: "...Senior Sister, have you gone mad?"

Mu Nanqing remained speechless.

Clearly, it was Shi Nian and Lu Zhuoyan who were mad!

Knowing full well that there were issues with Li Nanfeng, yet still choosing to associate with him!

Who exactly is the crazy one!

Mu Nanqing was visibly irritable, and Shi Nian didn’t dare to provoke her. Instead, she resorted to the shameless tactic of trying different ways to make Mu Nanqing laugh.

Li Nanfeng looked back again, just in time to see Shi Nian’s fawning behavior towards Mu Nanqing.

His smile deepened by a few shades.

Indeed.

Shi Nian might seem favored, but in reality, maybe not so much.

In his mind, he already had a plan forming.

Does Shi Nian know that using that sword might damage her foundation?

Does she know that Ling Tian Sword Master’s affection for her is all a façade?

If she knew that...

Li Nanfeng’s gaze grew increasingly profound.

They had already reached the edge of the Dead Silence Prairie, and now, everyone quickly left this area.

Before them was no longer the endless prairie but instead lakes and flowers, a beautiful sight to behold.

Now that it was getting dark, Li Nanfeng suggested resting, and no one opposed the idea.

Shi Nian and the others skillfully took out a large pot and started to cook meat.

People of cultivation generally have little desire for food; when hungry, a single Fasting Pill could satiate them. However, the roasted meat was just too tantalizing.

Shi Nian and his group were eating with such gusto.

Everyone else watched and involuntarily started to salivate.

Li Nanfeng said with a smile, "What delicious meat. Shi Nian, how about sharing some with everyone?"

The others nodded in agreement.

Shi Nian rolled her eyes, "Sure. One piece of meat for a hundred Spirit Stones."

Li Nanfeng frowned, "A hundred Spirit Stones for one piece of meat? Aren’t you exploiting the situation, Shi Nian?"

"Exactly," Shi Nian nodded unabashedly. "I’ll deal with it however I wish."

With that, Shi Nian casually tossed two pieces of meat to the baldy and Xiao Huang.

Li Nanfeng’s face darkened. Was he saying they were even less worthy than two chickens?

"Sister, perhaps this isn’t quite proper?" Lu Zhuoyan suddenly spoke up timidly: "We should share some with everyone."

Shi Nian gave Lu Zhuoyan a perculiar look.

As if struck by fear, Lu Zhuoyan spoke in a fluster, "Sister, pretend I didn’t say anything."

Shi Nian: "..."

What in the world was this little junior uncle acting out.

However, she was also willing to play along, glaring menacingly at Lu Zhuoyan: "That’s right. Next time, mind your tongue."

"Yes, yes," Lu Zhuoyan agreed submissively and then sent a helpless look towards Li Nanfeng.

Li Nanfeng took a deep breath, "If Shi Nian is unwilling, then let’s forget it. It’s just a matter of worldly cravings after all."

He returned to his original spot and started meditating.

Meanwhile, the enticing aroma kept wafting over from Shi Nian’s direction.

One couldn’t tell what kind of meat it was, but it was indeed excessively fragrant.

Li Nanfeng endured it for a long time, finally, he waited until they finished their barbecued meat.

Li Nanfeng thought that would be the end of it.

But then...

Shi Nian took out the big pot again, saying that she was going to prepare a sweet soup for after the meal.

Li Nanfeng’s face grew dark, as he tried to comfort himself internally.

Don’t look at how domineering Shi Nian is right now, later, when he finds an opportunity to reveal the truth to her.

At that time...

Won’t she collapse?

Thinking so, Li Nanfeng felt much more at ease.

Night fell.

In this rare safe place, most people entered into deep cultivation.

Only Shi Nian appeared to have nothing to do at all.

Li Nanfeng had been dividing his attention, keeping an eye on Shi Nian.

Seeing Shi Nian stand up out of boredom, he also stealthily followed her.

Lu Zhuoyan slightly opened his eyes, glanced at Li Nanfeng’s retreating figure, curved the corners of his lips slightly, then quickly closed his eyes again.

He and Shi Nian had already communicated through their inner breath.

He believed that Shi Nian would deliver an excellent performance.

Shi Nian didn’t go far, just wandering around nearby.

Li Nanfeng cautiously set up a soundproof Barrier before smiling and approaching.

"Shi Nian, why aren’t you cultivating?"

Shi Nian raised an eyebrow, "I won’t break through the realm, so cultivating is useless."

Li Nanfeng immediately showed a sympathetic expression, "With your talents, Shi Nian, if you were under my Master’s guidance, you would’ve achieved far more by now."

Shi Nian sighed, "My Master has also done his best for me. It’s all because I’m underachieving."

"That might not be the case," Li Nanfeng spoke softly, "Shi Nian, you’ve been deceived by your Master!"
