Chapter 1337 Dare to call the sun and the moon a new day
Seeing Shui Ruoyu decisively agreeing, Ji Tianxing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly saluted and thanked him.
"Thank you so much, Master Shui, for your help. Master Shui understands the righteousness very well. This junior is very grateful!"
Shui Ruoyu waved her hand, indicating that he did not need to be polite, and said with a kind smile: "Mr. Yu, I am a trusted and beloved general under the emperor, so I will naturally obey the emperor's will and help you with all my strength.
Personally, I am the fourth disciple of Master, and you are the successor of Master, so you are equivalent to my junior brother. How can I not help you?
Moreover, I hate the demons to the core, and I wish I could be like my master, holding a three-foot divine sword and slaying all the demons in the world."
Hearing this, Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "Oh? Master Shui also has a blood feud with the demons?"
"That's right!" Shui Ruoyu nodded and explained in a low tone: "I was born into a family of generals since I was a child. My ancestors were loyal and fierce generals in the Imperial Court for three generations, with great military exploits.
When I was young, the demon clan brought chaos to the world, and the demon king invaded Zhongzhou and massacred the people of Li.
My grandfather, father and several uncles all died on the battlefield, tragically killed by the swords of strong demons.
Later, Laoshen's entire family was besieged by strong demons, and more than three hundred members of the family were killed.
It was the emperor who took action to save Laosheng, and Laosheng survived.
Later, I met my master again, and it was my master’s guidance and teachings that made me become a strong martial artist and what I am today.”
Having said this, Shui Ruoyu paused.
Recalling those tragic and tragic past events, even though thousands of years have passed, she is still full of grief and anger, and her words are filled with overwhelming hatred for the demons.
"After Master left Tianxuan Continent, I inherited my father's legacy and continued to serve the Emperor.
The emperor saw that Lao Shen was talented and not suitable for leading an army in battle, so he gave Lao Shen a top-secret mission.
Therefore, I joined the Shenyin Sect, starting from the inner sect elder, until I was promoted to the headmaster three hundred years ago, and personally guarded the Shending..."
After listening to Shui Ruoyu's story about the past, Ji Tianxing finally understood the whole story.
"No wonder the Water Palm Church obeys the orders of the Imperial Court and guards the Divine Cauldron for the Imperial Court. They have been anonymous here for hundreds of years and are still loyal.
I never expected that there would be such a relationship between Master Shui, the Sword God, and the Emperor.
In this way, the emperor sent me to Shenyin Sect to find Master Shui and collect the Tiangang Divine Fire Cauldron. It was also a matter of careful consideration and profound meaning!
I am the successor of the Sword God, and Master Shui is the disciple of the Sword God.
With this relationship, Master Shui can obey the emperor's order and entrust the Shenyin Sect to me willingly."
Ji Tianxing thought silently for a moment, and after figuring out the relationship, he understood the emperor's good intentions.
Later, Shui Ruoyu told him some old stories, all about the Imperial Court and the Shenyin Sect.
Ji Tianxing listened patiently and gained a deeper understanding of Shui Ruoyu's past.
Just when an old man and a young man were having a pleasant conversation, a stream of light suddenly came from the top of the cave and flew in front of Shui Ruoyu with a whoosh.
Shui Ruoyu stretched out his hand and grabbed the stream of light in his palm.
She opened her palm and saw that it was a sealed jade slip. This was a confidential jade slip that was only used by the First Elder and the Second Elder and would only be used in emergencies.
She raised her eyebrows, and released a ray of consciousness from her soul, invading the jade slip to check the information in it.
After a while, she put away the jade slip and glanced at Ji Tianxing with a strange look.
When Ji Tianxing saw the change in her expression, he vaguely guessed that it was probably the jade slip sent by the elder of Shenyin Sect.
It must have been exposed that he injured the old drunkard and trespassed into forbidden areas.
As expected, Shui Ruoyu looked at him playfully and asked, "Tian Xing, before you broke into the forbidden area, did you beat up the Zuo Protector?"
"Ahem..." Ji Tianxing was a little embarrassed, and explained with a chuckle: "Master Shui, this is also a helpless act of mine. Please forgive me.
Guardian Zuo was guarding the mountain gate, and he didn't know the relationship between the Shenyin Sect and the Emperor's Court, so he stopped me from entering. Fortunately, I knew Shi Zhongjian, so I was able to enter the sect.
But I went to the second elder to discuss this matter, and the second elder didn't know anything about it. I didn't know when the second elder would report this matter to you, so I was anxious and had no choice but to trespass into the forbidden area.
But I didn't expect that Protector Zuo had been targeting me for a long time. He suddenly appeared when I was breaking the formation and wanted to arrest me for questioning.
I had no choice but to make an appointment with him to leave Sunless Peak and have a fight outside.
But don’t worry, Protector Zuo and I are in a fight between gentlemen, and we only exchanged two or three moves and it was over..."
Shui Ruoyu watched him explain the matter eloquently with great interest, with a gentle smile on her lips.
After he finished speaking, Shui Ruoyu chuckled and asked, "A fight between gentlemen? After only two or three moves, you beat him until his body was covered with bruises and blackened like carbon?"
The subpoena sent by the great elder stated that Protector Zuo’s injuries are quite serious and he will need to rest for at least three to five years before he can recover.”
Ji Tianxing rubbed the tip of his nose and said with an awkward smile: "Well... I don't know much about the strength of Protector Zuo. I didn't hold back at that time and used six successful powers.
If I had known he was so inexperienced, I would have only used four of my powers."
Shui Ruoyu immediately couldn't laugh or cry, he shook his head repeatedly and said: "Hey, this little junior brother of yours, you are really... so evil!
At such a young age, you are already half a step into the Yuan Shen realm, twice as strong as Zuo Protector. This is truly astonishing and rare in the world.
Now that I think about it, when my master was your age, his strength was far inferior to yours!"
Ji Tianxing just smiled and did not answer.
Zang Tian also said something similar, even when the Sword God was at his age, he was not as evil as him.
His strength and talents have surpassed those of the Sword God back then!
After a while of silence, Shui Ruoyu said in a gentle tone: "Tian Xing, even if Guardian Zuo is injured by you, you don't have to blame yourself, and I won't blame you.
Who allowed him to be dissolute, drown his sorrows in wine all day long, and end up in such a mess?
I despise this kind of man the most. He gives up on himself when he encounters setbacks, thinking that he can make me soft...
Only those who are unyielding and forge ahead like Master are the true heroes and unparalleled swordsmen!
Holding a three-foot green-edged sword, I dare to make the sun and moon change the sky!"
Seeing that Shui Ruoyu disliked the old drunkard, Ji Tianxing felt pity and sympathized with the poor old drunkard even more.
"Teacher Shui, in fact Protector Zuo is also a passionate person. He used too much emotion, which is why he was so seriously hurt.
He was humiliated and ridiculed by others, so he would rather resign from the position of guardian, but still stay at the gate of Shenyin Sect.
He can't let you go and wants to keep you for the rest of his life!"
Shui Ruoyu immediately frowned and said angrily: "Tian Xing, you actually know about this? It must be that long-tongued boy Shi Zhongjian...
Humph! I have to let the second elder discipline me, this kid is so shameless!"
