Koo Rok-in's idol was Kenzu's Fleeting Time Calendar. With his chuunibyou personality, only Kenzu's achievements were worthy of his attention.
So this chuunibyou's life goal was to have a Sword Maiden that was exactly like Kenzu.
Fleeting Time Calendar's Ancient Sword Maiden was the Yi Xian Sword. This sword had always been in the Burial Grounds, and only the Sword Pavilion Masters knew where it was.
For the Yi Xian Sword, Koo Rok-in had to endure the disgust to find his father, Ju Wudao, and ask him to help him find the Yi Xian Sword.
In the end, Ju Wudao and Liu Lei talked for a long time, but Liu Lei refused to tell Ju Wudao. Therefore, Ju Lvren hated his father even more.
Ju Lvren could not possibly waste his time on the Yi Xian Sword, so he had no choice but to synchronize with another Swordmistress, who was also one of the top rankers among the ancient swords. Then, he hoped that he would be able to synchronize with the Yuchang Sword when he was a treasured sword.
Unfortunately, the Yuchang Sword had already been synchronized with Bai Chi. Unless Koo Rok-in killed Bai Chi, he would not be able to get the Yuchang Sword.
Although Ju Lvren was a severely delusional patient, he would never do something as rebellious as killing someone and snatching a sword. Everyone in the world would punish him for it.
At that time, Bai Chi looked like he had at least a few decades left to live. Koo Rok-in naturally could not wait for Bai Chi to die, so he had no choice but to find another Sword Maiden to experiment with.
Naturally, Ju Luren had tried the Heavenly Sword as well. Unfortunately, Heavenly Sword did not react to him at all. As a result, when Gu Han obtained the Heavenly Sword, Ju Luren felt an indescribable jealousy.
Since he had failed to get the Ancient and Sword Maidens, Koo Rok-in set his sights on the Famed Sword, Yue King Sword.
Koo Rok-in had already found out that the Yue King Sword was lying quietly in Yanjing City's Sword Pavilion. There was no sword wielder who could synchronize with her.
As for whether or not he could successfully coordinate with the Yue King Goujian Jian, that was not within Koo Rok-in's consideration.
In the eyes of Sophomore Syndrome, everything in the world was prepared for him. As long as he stood before his target, the target would obediently fly into his hands.
Hmm, come to think of it, Guhan was quite suitable for this situation.
Fearing that someone would snatch the Gou Jian Sword, the King of Yue, Ju Lvren fought with all his might to accumulate his sword essences. Yesterday, he finally broke through the limit of ten thousand sword essences. Just as he was about to set off for Yan Jing City to find the King of Yue, Ju Wudao's order for him to go to Changyang Mountain happened to arrive.
That was why Koo Rok-in was so against it. He even wanted to reject Wudao's order, but in the end, he was forced to join the team.
He had already made up his mind. Once the matter at Changyang Mountain was over, he would not even return to Yuzhang City. He would follow Liunian Ling to Yanjing City to find his Yue King Goujian Jian.
After Koo Rok-in got the answer he wanted to know, he completely lost interest in talking to Guhan. He jumped off the car and returned to the bus.
Hearing that Koo Rok-in's goal was the Yue King Goujian Jian, Guhan's calm heart started to panic.
His sword element was only around a thousand points. He was still around eight thousand points away from synchronizing with the Yue King. In a short period of time, it was impossible for him to catch up to Koo Rok-in. Therefore, Koo Rok-in would definitely be able to synchronize with the Yue King before him.
Previously, Guhan was not worried that someone would take the Yue King away before him. However, after seeing Koo Rok-in, Guhan's heart started to throb. A voice seemed to be telling Guhan that Koo Rok-in might succeed. He would take the Yue King away!
The Yue King's love for Guhan was limited to the game. In reality, the sleeping Yue King did not know Guhan at all. Naturally, he would not open a backdoor for Guhan and let Guhan take him away … It was not impossible for Koo Rok-in to take the Yue King away.
"Looks like I have to speed up. If the Yue King falls into someone else's hands, I, Guhan, will be nothing!" Guhan's heart started to throb.
The Yue King was Guhan's. This was something that could not be changed.
…
The night passed uneventfully. Without Yuan Kou coming to disturb them, Guhan waited until three o 'clock. He did not see Song Yifei come over to take over his shift.
However, Gu Han didn't rush her. Instead, he just waited on the roof of the car silently. It wasn't until four o 'clock that Song Yifei came to Gu Han expressionlessly.
"Move!"
Song Yifei pushed Guhan and sat in Guhan's position. She looked at the long night without saying a word.
In fact, Song Yifei waited until this time to appear. Song Yifei woke up at three o 'clock. In other words, she had never fallen asleep.
After Guhan left the room, Song Yifei could no longer suppress her desire. She reached her hand into her crotch and rubbed it for a long time. Then, she collapsed and laid on the bed like a pile of mud.
After the water in her lower body was discharged, she could no longer suppress the water in her upper body. A large amount of tears flowed out of Song Yifei's eyes. Everything that happened just now made Song Yifei feel extremely ashamed when she recalled it.
What was even more shameful was Guhan's resolute attitude of leaving.
What was this?
After flirting with her, he threw her aside?
She was like Guhan's toy?
Was Guhan so unfond of her?
Did he hate her that much?
She had humiliated herself to such an extent, and this was the result she got. More importantly, Song Yifei could be sure that Gu Han had never thought of him at all. Everything was just an illusion of her wishful thinking.
When the illusion was broken, all that was left was a forcefully hardened shell. Only a shell made of indifference could protect Song Yifei's fragile self-esteem at this time.
Of course, Guhan did not understand this. He did not even know what the things he did meant. Guhan was far less talented in love than he was in fighting.
The reason why he agreed to share a room with Song Yifei was purely because he wanted to test if Three Strikes of Green Lotus would have any different effect on a Sword Maiden or a human.
Practice proved that Three Strikes of Green Lotus had almost the same effect on a Sword Maiden or a human. When Song Yifei smelled Guhan's scent through Guhan's clothes, Guhan had already started to react. In the end, when Song Yifei was about to tease Guhan, Guhan felt that his lower body was about to be exposed. Only then did he decisively leave Song Yifei's bed. It was because Guhan did not want Song Yifei to see him embarrassed.
"Your eyes are swollen. Did you not sleep well last night?"
Guhan raised his head and saw Song Yifei's red and swollen eyes. There were faint traces of tears on them.
"You cried the whole night?"
"No!
I had a nightmare. I cried in the dream! "Song Yifei forced herself to sleep.
"You didn't cry because of me, did you?"
Gu Han immediately saw through Song Yifei's disguise. "Have you fallen in love with me?" Song Yifei asked. "What?" Gu Han asked.
"No, never. Who would fall in love with an idiot like you? You're a pervert!"
Song Yifei was a bit flustered. She did not expect Guhan to say these things without hesitation.
As a model of an aloof Prince Charming, shouldn't Gu Han be even more aloof and disdainful of things like relationships?
"Whatever." Guhan stood up and was about to leave the roof.
"You can fall in love with me, but I can't promise that I'll fall in love with you."
"You can fall in love with me, but I can't promise that I'll fall in love with you."
"You can mate with me, and I promise that I won't reject you."
"You can scold me, and I promise that I won't scold you."
"You can hate me, and I promise that I won't hate you."
"I know that I'm a complete jerk for saying this, but I'm sorry. Before my life stops, I'll stay like this."
"I'll hide some things, but I don't like to hide things about relationships.
Yifei, think about it carefully. "
"But no matter what, I hope that we can still be friends. I don't have many friends, and you're my third friend. I can promise you that!"
After saying this, Guhan disappeared from the roof, leaving Song Yifei sitting on the roof in a daze.
"What is this?
You want me to give up? "
Song Yifei kept thinking about what Gu Han had said just now. Song Yifei analyzed it over and over again, but he still couldn't figure out the reason.
"Pfft, you said that you don't want to hide things about relationships, but in the end, it's still so confusing. You can't understand anything!"
Song Yifei spat. But to her surprise, after hearing what Guhan had said, she felt a lot better.
"Fine, let's be friends for now. If I want to find a man, I can find any handsome young man. Why would I hang myself on Guhan's tree?"
Song Yifei stuck out his tongue and stared at the plains in the distance until the sun slowly rose from the horizon the next day.
It seemed that tomorrow would be a good day again.
…
The floating bus set off at seven the next morning. After about four hours, it arrived at the last large stronghold in Yuzhang City: Yueyang Fortress.
Yueyang Fortress was built along the river. It was built under the leadership of the Longevity Jiandi. It was about one-thirtieth the size of Yuzhang City.
The Yue Yang Fort was not a base city suitable for human habitation because it did not have a dimensional barrier. The defense of the Yue Yang Fort was completely dependent on the sword-bearers. Throughout history, the Yue Yang Fort had been conquered by the Yuan Family at least forty times. On average, it would fall every ten years or so. A fort like that could not be used as a place for human habitation.
Yueyang Fortress was a large supply point for the sword bearers.
The sword bearers had to survive in the wilderness and kill Yuan Kou, which consumed a lot of resources. It was not practical to rely on Yuzhang City for supplies. It would take too long to go back and forth. That was why Yueyang Fortress was built. With Yueyang Fortress, the sword bearers could move around in a larger area. At the same time, they could provide some warning to Yuzhang City.
The bus would stop at Yueyang Fortress for two hours to buy some supplies and do some repairs.
