Later, Dongfang Yu, Dongfang Nichang's father, married the daughter of another family, who was now Nichang's mother. Both of them hated the scheming and deceit of the family, so they tried their best to escape. Later, they settled down in this small town and gave birth to Wu 'er. The whole family lived a happy life, but Dongfang Yu often felt lonely and depressed, not because he didn't have anyone to accompany him, but because he couldn't achieve his goal.
Nichang finally got her mother's approval, so now she was in a good mood. Now, she only had to wait for Kirito to pass her father's test. Nichang could be said to be taking a break from her busy schedule. She would spend the rest of her time waiting for Kirito to pass the test. Nichang was now focused on accompanying her mother and Wu 'er, happily spending the last moments of her life.
However, Kirito waited until his body recovered, but Nichang's father's test still didn't come. Kirito couldn't wait any longer, so he went to find Nichang's father.
When Nichang's father saw Kirito coming to find him, Kirito felt that Nichang's father didn't seem surprised that he came to find him, but he still asked politely, "Uncle, I'm almost recovered now. I'm here to say goodbye to you. Thank you for taking me in these days.
Nichang's father raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Since you've decided to go, I won't stop you. But since Nichang insists on going with you, I didn't agree at first."
Kirito's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Although Kirito was somewhat prepared, Kirito's face was still normal. Kirito knew that if Nichang's father didn't let him take Nichang away, he wouldn't have such an attitude. So Kirito waited for Nichang's father to continue.
Nichang's father looked at Kirito's calm face and secretly praised Kirito's calmness. Nichang's father suddenly looked forward to seeing how Kirito's test would make him feel. Nichang's father smiled, which made Kirito very confused.
Nichang's father knew that he had revealed something, so he stopped smiling and said to Kirito, "But Nichang begged me, so I wanted to test you. But as a father, I couldn't bear to see Nichang disappointed. This is also Nichang's wish, so I hope you can take good care of Nichang. After all, it's Nichang's first time going out for training, so I hope you can do your best to take care of her."
Nichang's father's sincerity made Kirito feel an indescribable feeling. Kirito didn't say anything, but nodded heavily in agreement.
Nichang's father seemed to be touched at once. He looked directly at Kirito and said in a solemn tone, "You must take good care of Nichang and do what you said."
Kirito was a little confused about the change in Nichang's father's attitude, but on second thought, it might be a father who was worried about his daughter. So he said in a serious tone, "Don't worry, I, Kirito, will do what I say."
Nichang's father looked at Kirito for a long time, as if he was trying to figure out whether Kirito was telling the truth or not. They looked at each other for a long time without saying anything, until Nichang's father shifted his gaze and sat down on the chair. He waved his hand and signaled Kirito to leave.
Kirito got up and left. Before he left, Kirito looked back and saw Nichang's father sitting on the chair. The shadow cast on Nichang's father's eyes, so Kirito couldn't see his expression. Kirito seemed to feel the helplessness of a father. Kirito secretly made up his mind to protect Nichang, not for anything else, but for the fact that she had saved his life, and also for the sake of a father.
Kirito didn't sleep that night, nor did he train, which was rare for him. He just sat there calmly, thinking about what happened in the past few days. At first, he felt uncomfortable, but later, he got used to this kind of life. Kirito wasn't a person who was lost in emotion, but at this moment, he suddenly felt lost. Where was his end point, and where was his starting point?
Kirito suddenly didn't know his goal, and in this kind of confusion, Kirito unknowingly fell asleep. Kirito had been practicing all this time, and didn't give up. He had too many responsibilities, and Kirito suddenly missed these feelings.
Suddenly, Kirito thought of Wise Joe Yifeng and Red Monkey, as well as Wild Old Man who had accidentally released the hooligans in order to help him improve his ability, Aizen who had insulted Onyx Soul, and Onyx Soul who had sneak-attacked Red Monkey. All of these seemed to revolve around Kirito, making him unable to give up. Kirito seemed to have found his goal for practicing. What was he working so hard for?
It wasn't for his own achievements, but to make the friends around him better, to protect them. He couldn't let go, he couldn't fall. Red Monkey and Wise Joe Yifeng were still waiting for him to find them, and Aizen still needed him to defeat him. No matter what, he couldn't let go.
The Soul Cutter on Kirito's body began to faintly ring, as if it was responding to Kirito's state of mind. Kirito's body began to faintly glow, and the Soul Cutter began to revolve around Kirito's body, constantly circling around Kirito's body, producing a sharp sound. The entire house began to shake.
The violent shaking of the house woke up Nichang and his family from their sleep. Nichang's father was the first to rush into Kirito's room, looking at Kirito's state. Nichang's father was surprised to see Kirito's unconscious state.
Then Nichang, Nichang's mother, and even Wu 'er came in, looking at Kirito being surrounded by the Soul Cutter. His body was constantly glowing, and it seemed to be getting brighter and brighter. Fortunately, Nichang's family lived in the suburbs, otherwise they would have been noticed by others.
Nichang was a little worried about Kirito's state. Nichang anxiously asked his father, "Father, what's wrong with Kirito?
Why is he like this? "
Nichang's father was even a little surprised by Nichang's state. He stared at Kirito and murmured, "He actually communicated with the Soul Cutter. This is not only the Soul Cutter acknowledging Kirito, but it is also truly willing to recognize Kirito as its master. I have never seen such a situation before. Once you are truly recognized by the Soul Cutter, the Soul Cutter will really give you another life."
Nichang was a little confused. He asked in confusion, "What does that mean?"
Nichang's father answered without thinking, "In other words, the traditional Soul Cutter is' When the person dies, the Soul Cutter is destroyed. When the Soul Cutter is broken, the person dies. 'But for the current Kirito, this concept has been abandoned. Once Kirito's life is in danger, the Soul Cutter will automatically take the fatal blow for Kirito. It is equivalent to Kirito having a second life."
Nichang looked at Kirito in surprise. He did not expect Kirito to have such a high level of talent. Nichang's father looked at Kirito and let out a long sigh. This sigh seemed to have magical powers, and it instantly quieted down the restless room. Nichang's father said to Nichang and the others, "Hurry up and go back to sleep. Otherwise, Nichang will not be able to catch up with Kirito tomorrow."
After that, he ignored them and went into the study.
