"You liar!"
Liunian Ling said disdainfully as she looked at the back of Guhan's head after Guhan sent the Immortal sword wielders away.
"How do you know I lied to them?"
Guhan turned around and narrowed his eyes at Liunian Ling. "Do you know why I have two sets of Sword Maidens?"
"I don't know why you have two sets of Sword Maidens.
But I know it's definitely not because of what you said.
You're a born liar. Trying to get the truth out of your mouth is as easy as ascending to the heavens! "Liunian Ling said sourly.
"You know me well!"
Gu Han smiled, "That's right, what I said just now was a lie. If you're unhappy, you can go and tell them!"
"No!" Liunian Ling shook her head. "Although you're a liar, you're not a bad liar.
If your method of having two sets of Sword Maidens was feasible and could be popularized among humans, you definitely wouldn't hide it.
Since you chose to hide it, then you must know the truth of the matter. If you reveal it, it will cause great chaos … Either you have to pay a huge price to possess two sets of Sword Maidens, or you have to use some sinister methods to harm others without benefiting yourself. When the time comes, I'm afraid it will ruin the current culture of humans, so you chose to hide it in the end! "
"…" Hearing Liunian Ling's words, Guhan looked at her deeply and fell into a long silence.
The truth was just as Liunian Ling had said. Guhan carefully recalled his life. He had been able to have two sets of Sword Maidens when he had the Douyu Sword and the Heavenly Sword.
Without the Douyu Sword and the Heavenly Sword as a catalyst, the Past Water Sword and the Qi Dian Sword would not have been able to synchronize with him.
The reason why the Douyu Sword and the Heavenly Sword could fuse together was because the Fishbowel Sword had fused with his sister's soul. It was naturally compatible with his own soul, so it was willing to enter his Purple Palace and become his Sword Maidens even though there was already a sword mark of the same level in his Purple Palace.
Secondly, the Severed Green Silk allowed the two sword scars to maintain a balance in a peculiar way. This was the only reason why his Zifu wouldn't be in a complete mess.
Thirdly, it was because of the Great Sword Maiden Grafting Technique.
As for the Past Water Sword and the Qi Dian Sword, it was because of the Furnace of Heaven and Earth. Under the Furnace of Heaven and Earth, the Past Water Sword and the Qi Dian Sword fused with Guhan's flesh and became a part of Guhan's flesh. To a certain extent, they had become a part of each other, which prevented them from fighting.
As a result, in the end, it became a custom for Gu Han to have two Sword Ladies at the same level, and it was impossible for a Spirit Sword to not have two Sword Ladies …
This was probably the real reason why Guhan could have two sets of Sword Maidens.
If Guhan revealed the real reason, would the people follow Guhan's example and destroy the soul of an innate Sword Maiden, then kill their own sister to create a second Douyu Sword?
Would they also have to master the Sword Maiden Grafting Technique, which was an extremely sinister technique?
Would they also have to find the Green Silk Slash and use its power to fuse with the sword marks?
Would they also have to spend tens of thousands of drops of Emperor's Blood to activate the Heaven and Earth Furnace and fuse the Sword Maiden with their flesh and blood?
If anyone wanted to achieve the above four conditions, they would have to set off a storm of blood among humans. At that time, humans would lose far more than they gain. This was the fundamental reason why Guhan concealed the truth of the matter.
It would be fine if someone who knew all of this could say these words, but Liunian Ling didn't know much about this matter, yet she could clearly see through Guhan's thoughts based on her understanding of Guhan's personality. Guhan couldn't help but sigh. "I didn't expect you to say such words. I like you even more now!"
"No, don't say such words. It's impossible for the two of us to be together!"
Hearing Guhan's sigh, Liunian Ling was a little hesitant, but she replied resolutely.
"Why?"
Hearing Liunian Ling's words, Guhan felt a rush of blood to his head. He had been suppressing this question in his heart for almost two years.
"Why did you suddenly leave Shanhai Pass that day?
Why didn't you look for me for two years?
Why have you been deliberately avoiding me?
What exactly happened inside?
What's the reason? "
"There's no reason … We can't be together … Don't ask me anymore!" Liunian Ling said while biting her lip.
"No, since you know me so well, Guhan, then you should know my character. As long as I love something, I will definitely get it."
Guhan held Liunian Ling's hand in his. "I, Guhan, don't like to force others to do things against their will. Raise your head, look into my eyes, and tell me.
If you, Liunian Ling, don't like me, tell me now. I will immediately ignore you and pretend that I don't know you in this life! "
"I … I don't … I don't …" Liunian Ling raised her head, but when she met Guhan's eyes, she immediately looked away. She didn't dare to look into Guhan's eyes at all.
In reality, Liunian Ling couldn't even say that she didn't like him.
"It looks like you still have me in your heart!"
Guhan revealed a joyful smile and said, "I hate watching TV, and I hate watching boring primetime family dramas the most. For a strange reason or misunderstanding, two people who love each other can struggle for thirty or forty episodes and still can't be together … I hate this kind of story, and I hate this kind of plot even more."
"I'll give you an ultimatum now. Either you tell me the reason why you can't be with me, or I'll kill my way to the Liunian Family. I'll destroy the entire Liunian Family until you're with me!" Guhan said domineeringly.
"You madman …" Liunian Ling glared at Guhan, "This is between the two of us. What does it have to do with my family? Why can't you tell right from wrong?"
"Who said it has nothing to do with your family … Don't forget, you saw it with your own eyes. It was your ancestor who sent my younger sister, Gu Xuanwu, to the past … Unless your Liunian Family returns my sister to me, I'll flatten your Liunian Family sooner or later!"
Guhan's words were filled with hatred … That was his own daughter, and she disappeared in the past just like that. Perhaps he would never be able to see her again in this lifetime.
"So you still remember this matter!" Hearing Guhan's words, Liunian Ling's expression first turned cold, then sorrowful.
"Why?
Am I not supposed to remember this matter? "Guhan said.
"Fine!
Since you want to know the truth so much, I'll tell you. I don't want to bear it alone anymore. Just don't regret it in the future! "
Liunian Ling gulped and opened her mouth slightly. Just as she was about to reveal the huge secret that she had kept in her heart for a long time …
"Guhan, I've brought your things back!" Misaka Mikoto suddenly walked over with a smile on her face.
"Hmph!
You have so many girlfriends! "
Liunian Ling looked at the beautiful Misaka Mikoto, then at Guhan, and snorted coldly. "If you want to know the truth, come to the deck and find me in three hours!"
She then left the room.
"Did I come at a bad time?
Why don't you get her back first? "Misaka Mikoto said awkwardly when she saw Liunian Ling leaving in a huff.
"It's fine. We need to calm down!"
Guhan smiled bitterly and then said to Misaka Mikoto, "Did you bring the seven little ones back?"
"Of course!
The seven little ones have been freeloading in my house for more than three years. If I don't return them to you, they'll eat until they're broke! "
Misaka Mikoto said as she patted her head and smiled. "Why aren't the seven of you coming out to meet your parents?"
"No … Since they don't want us anymore … We don't want to acknowledge them as our parents … We'll live with Mother Mikoto from now on!" A few resentful voices came from Misaka Mikoto's hair.
"I'm not your mother … If that idiot finds out, he'll go crazy again!"
Misaka Mikoto reached into her hair and pulled out a little elf with a pair of wings from it.
Upon closer inspection, it was the Seven Poor Ones who had been missing for three years.
"No … I'm not coming out … I don't want them anymore … They're all bad people!"
The Seven Poor Ones who were pulled out immediately flapped their wings and tried to fly back into Misaka Mikoto's hair.
"You little ones … If you don't come out … I'll use my hair to give you electric shock therapy!"
As soon as Misaka Mikoto finished speaking, sparks of electricity floated through her hair. It was just a small warning.
The six little ones had probably been electrocuted a few times. After receiving Misaka Mikoto's warning, they could only lower their heads and fly out of Misaka Mikoto's hair … When they saw Guhan, the six little ones snorted at the same time and turned their heads to the side in disdain. It was as if they did not want to see Guhan.
"I'll leave them to you!
They're all your daughters! "Guhan did not know what to do with them. He had no choice but to let Qingpin out.
"First Poor, Second Poor, Third Poor, Fourth Poor, Sixth Poor, Seventh Poor … Mommy misses you so much …" As soon as Qingpin came out, he instantly grabbed the six little ones who were flying in the air like an eagle catching chicks … After three years, Qingpin was still as skilled as ever. He did not seem rusty at all.
"Wait … Why is there one missing? Where's Fifth Poor?" Guhan glanced at them and did not see Fifth Poor.
"She's here!" Misaka Mikoto opened her hand. In her palm was an exquisite golden gem.
