“Then what about me? Would I do?”

Jiang Chen smiled and looked at Yan Qingcheng, incomparably sincere, incomparably ardent.

“The person I’m looking for is a woman, not a man.”

Yan Qingcheng’s words made Jiang Chen even more depressed. A woman? She was actually looking for a woman?

“I want to find the two of them. In my memory, I have two older sisters. One is called Wu Ningzhu, and the other is called Yan Chenyu.”

Yan Qingcheng’s voice was very faint, but in that moment Jiang Chen became incomparably grave, his pupils gradually contracting. He looked at Yan Qingcheng, and his heart was filled with a bitterness he could not explain. She still remembered Yan Chenyu and Wu Ningzhu, so why had she forgotten even him?

Jiang Chen sighed in his heart, his heart aching terribly, but he had no other way.

Jiang Chen reached out his hand and conjured up a figure. It was none other than Yan Chenyu. In that moment Yan Qingcheng’s pretty face turned slightly cold, and she silently gazed at Jiang Chen. She did not understand why this person, who had nothing to do with her, would know what the sister she was looking for looked like.

“Is it her?”

Jiang Chen said in a low voice.

“How do you know? What else do you know? Talk, or I’ll kill you.”

Yan Qingcheng once again brandished the Azure Spirit Sword in her hand and pointed it at Jiang Chen.

“I can take you to find her.”

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

“If you deceive me, I’ll make sure you die without a place to be buried. Apart from my two sisters, I don’t trust anyone.”

Yan Qingcheng’s words finally gave Jiang Chen a trace of comfort in his heart. At least she was not someone so cold-blooded that nothing could get through to her. At least she still remembered the sisters in her heart.

“I hope that one day I won’t disappoint you.”

Jiang Chen said.

Yan Qingcheng pondered for a moment. She herself had no idea where her two sisters were. But at this moment, she could only choose to follow Jiang Chen for the time being. As long as she could find her sisters, everything would be worth it.

Although Yan Qingcheng did not trust Jiang Chen, she knew that at least this guy would not frame her. Rather than searching aimlessly on her own, she might as well follow Jiang Chen. At least he knew her sister existed, so he must know where her sister was.

“I’ll give you ten years. If you can’t find my sister, I’ll kill you and then leave on my own.”

Yan Qingcheng made a gentleman’s agreement with Jiang Chen.

“Alright, ten years it is. Believe me, she’s definitely somewhere in this Central Region Divine Land.”

Jiang Chen said with incomparable firmness. In that moment Jiang Chen quietly turned away, incomparably certain. These words he said not only to Yan Qingcheng, but even more to himself. Ten years. In ten years he would definitely find Xiao Yu. No one missed Yan Chenyu more than he did. No one could understand how heavy the longing in Jiang Chen’s heart was.

A mist filled his eyes. Jiang Chen’s heart was a jumble of emotions, his thoughts racing. It was Xiao Yu who had connected the two of them. At this moment Jiang Chen would cherish it all the more. Now he hoped Yan Qingcheng could recover soon. Up to now, Jiang Chen still did not know why Yan Qingcheng had become like this. If he tried to examine the cause, he would surely be treated as an enemy by Yan Qingcheng. Besides, she did not trust anyone to begin with. It seemed no one was worthy of her trust.

“I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

Yan Qingcheng’s words made Jiang Chen incomparably excited, like a child who had been rewarded by his mother. Jiang Chen smiled incomparably brightly. Three years of watching over her had finally removed a trace of her misgivings toward him. Trust was out of the question, but at least the two of them were no longer full of hostility. Yan Qingcheng knew that Jiang Chen had saved her and at least would not harm her. She just did not know what Jiang Chen’s intentions were.

Jiang Chen was in high spirits. He took Yan Qingcheng traveling through Kunshan County. His goal was to head for the core lands of the Central Region Divine Land to find the Craftsman God’s enemy from back then, that senior brother of his who had betrayed their master’s sect.

But while resting in a city they passed through along the way, Jiang Chen heard news about Xue Liang.

“I heard that this time the Drawing Sword Sect is recruiting a young Sword Lord, very likely because they’re looking forward to the birth of a new peerless divine sword.”

“Yes, I heard that this time countless sects in Kunshan County will go to Myriad Swords City. The birth of a new generation’s Sword Lord will surely raise the Drawing Sword Sect’s strength to new heights. The Drawing Sword Sect has countless divine swords. I wonder which outstanding talents will show off their skills at this Lishan Sword Ceremony.”

“Needless to say there are the subsidiary sects under the Drawing Sword Sect within Kunshan County. I heard that this time the two strongest among the outsiders seem to be Li Wuhui and Xue Liang. The one in white robes whiter than snow is Xue Liang. The one in black robes as cold as light is Li Wuhui. The brilliance of these two will probably outshine all those experts from the Drawing Sword Sect’s subsidiary sects. But only seven people can be selected. It’s truly a gathering of heroes.”

“This Lishan Sword Ceremony will probably be the most exciting one in millions of years. I heard that even young experts from the Desolate Divine Land have come, also aiming for the position of Sword Lord this time. It’s sure to be another grand feast.”

Jiang Chen was resting in an old inn in the city and happened to overhear these words. Xue Liang. Could it be someone with the same name? Jiang Chen did not think so. It seemed that this time he might have to make a trip to the Drawing Sword Sect first. Whether or not that person was Xue Liang, Jiang Chen wanted to find out, because he wanted to seek the true essence of the sword.

The Drawing Sword Sect was the largest sword sect in the Central Region Divine Land. It had stood in the Central Region Divine Land for so many years that even old established sects like the Eastern Emperor Sect avoided it. Jiang Chen had always wanted to go to the Drawing Sword Sect to see whether his sword could become the most terrifying sword. He needed proof.

The Limitless Sword was already incomparably terrifying in Jiang Chen’s hands now. But Jiang Chen knew that his realm of the sword still needed to be raised and to evolve bit by bit. The Limitless Sword had no limits. Jiang Chen’s sword could make the sword a part of his body. The realm of the sword was something he would pursue his whole life, so he absolutely could not miss such a grand event of a terrifying sword sect.

“First we’ll go to Myriad Swords City in Kunshan County.”

Jiang Chen glanced at Yan Qingcheng. Yan Qingcheng’s expression was cold and as unmoving as a mountain. She did not seem to object, but she did not agree either. Jiang Chen took it as tacit consent. After resting, the two of them set off again.

Yan Qingcheng said nothing the whole way. Ever since she had agreed to follow Jiang Chen to search for Yan Chenyu, the words the two of them had exchanged did not add up to more than ten sentences. Jiang Chen knew what he was doing. As long as her heart was still here, he would always give her an answer in the end.

During this time, Jiang Chen had tried probing her with his Emperor Realm soul, but he found that he could not slip past Yan Qingcheng’s soul at all, because her soul power was not the slightest bit weaker than his own. That incomparably powerful, persistent willpower was something even Jiang Chen could not hope to match.
