"It's you?
Aren't you embarrassed to appear before this king?! "Qidian raged when it saw Reina Takasaka's face.
If Guhan hadn't come up with the idea of forging a Swordmistress, she would still be in the Juzi Sword's body.
"Why should I be embarrassed?"
Reina Takasaka replied indifferently. There wasn't a trace of shame in her eyes as she looked at Qidian. "You should be thanking me. If not for me, would you be able to have this Famed Sword's body?"
"You're twisting words and forcing logic!"
Qidian was even more displeased. "That's the body that Guhan prepared for me. What right do you have to snatch what belongs to me?"
"Is that so?
What if I say that this body should have been mine in the first place? "Reina Takasaka sneered.
"What do you mean by that?
Wasn't this body prepared for me by Guhan?
I participated in the entire process. This was clearly prepared for me by Guhan. What has it got to do with you?
Don't spout nonsense here! "
Qidian still wanted to say something, but it felt someone patting its shoulder. Then, Guhan pulled Qidian behind him and signaled for it to keep quiet.
"Guhan, this woman is full of nonsense. You prepared this body for me in the first place. What do you mean by this is her body in the first place?" Qidian grumbled unhappily.
"Perhaps she's right. This body might have been hers in the first place, and it's just a pawn being used by someone else!"
Guhan's expression turned even colder. The chill in his voice could almost freeze a person's skin. "I'm right, right?
I'm just a pitiful pawn of your Liunian Family. I've been in your Liunian Family's scheme from the beginning. "
"It seems like you've thought it through!"
Reina Takasaka sneered. "Schemes are indeed schemes, but have you ever seen a scheme that ends up involving oneself in the scheme?
Do you think that our Liunian Family can't do it ourselves? Anyone in the Liunian Family can do it. Why must we rely on an outsider like you? "
"Because they want you to become my sword maiden!"
Guhan clenched his fists. "Congratulations, you've achieved your goal. I can't even kill you now. You're already my Sword Maiden!"
"What do you mean?" Qidian looked at Guhan with a confused look. "What do you mean?
What do you mean by she's your Sword Maiden? "
"You are my second Famed Sword Maiden in real life … and she is my second Ancient Sword Maiden!"
Guhan's words were filled with bitterness. After considering all the things that had happened, he finally understood the complicated calculations involved.
This had been the Liunian Family's scheme from the beginning. The Liunian Family's original goal was to use Guhan to free Reina Takasaka from Yuan Kou's body. Then, she would be reborn as a Sword Maiden. This was something that Guhan had already figured out.
Now, Guhan understood something else. The Zhongdian Sword that had appeared at the perfect time was not the broken sword left behind by the sword-bearer in Yuzhang City after the invasion. Instead, it was the body that the Liunian Family had prepared for Reina Takasaka.
Even Zhao Hao had been part of the Liunian Family's scheme. They had done something at the perfect time to cause Zhao Hao's research to fail, turning the Zhongdian Sword into an empty shell. Then, they had leaked this information to Guhan, enticing Guhan to immediately go to Yuzhang City and open the Furnace of Heaven and Earth to reconstruct King Yue's body … Then, Reina Takasaka would be able to obtain this new body.
Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence in the world? As soon as Guhan heard about the Furnace of Heaven and Earth, he immediately heard about the Zhongdian Sword. Then, he effortlessly obtained 12000cc of Sovereign blood. Everything had gone too smoothly. However, because Guhan had been worried about King Yue's revival, Guhan had purposely ignored these suspicious points, allowing Reina Takasaka to win in the end.
However, just as Reina Takasaka had said, the Sovereign Bloodline and Zhong Dian's body, which were the two most important resources, had always belonged to the Liu Nian Family.
The Liunian Family could have done this on their own. Why did they have to borrow Guhan's hands?
However, Guhan understood this point.
It was because the Liunian Family wanted to keep Reina Takasaka by his side forever. The Liunian Family definitely knew the important secret of his birth, so they had set their sights on his future. They had to plant someone of their own by Guhan's side.
Planting someone else was not as reliable as planting a swordmistress. He did not know what method Reina Takasaka had used to establish a connection with Guhan as a swordmistress, leaving her sword mark in Guhan's mind.
However, there was no doubt that Reina Takasaka had become Guhan's swordmistress.
Unless Guhan cut off her hair, or cut off her ancient sword mark with the determination to destroy Reina Takasaka and Qingpin together, Reina Takasaka would forever stay by Guhan's side as a swordmistress. It would be impossible for them to break up.
"Let's have a good talk!"
Guhan walked to Reina Takasaka's side and looked at her face to face. "Now that things have come to this, I don't want to change anything.
I only hope that you can tell me what your true motive is.
I don't want to have a ticking time bomb by my side!
"If the Liunian Family wants something from me, then please tell me clearly what it is!
I promise you that apart from my life and my swordmistress, I can give you anything you want.
I only hope that your Liu Nian clan will put all your thoughts out in the open and stop scheming against me in the dark! "Gu Han's anger could be heard in his voice.
"… If I say that I don't know either, will you believe me?"
Reina Takasaka suddenly lowered her head. Her tone turned from arrogant to sad. "You say that you're a chess piece, but am I not a chess piece as well?
Do you think that the Liunian Family would be willing to share their secrets with a half-human, half- Yuan Kou fellow like me? "
"I can tell you everything I know, if you believe me!" Reina Takasaka suddenly raised her head and looked at Guhan with hope in her eyes.
"I believe you!"
Guhan said without hesitation. His eyes were filled with sincerity. "I know that this isn't what you want. You've been conflicted about the entire plan. I can tell from the question you asked me before you entered the Heaven and Earth Furnace that this isn't the outcome you want.
You don't want to become a human, a Yuan Kou, or a swordmistress.
"In your heart, you still want to be the original you. The girl who is still called Reina Takasaka even if her body and soul are enemies!
The Reina Takasaka who has a father and a mother who loves you! "
These words seemed to be very emotional, but Gu Han said it in an absolutely calm tone, forming a strange sense of contradiction that made people unable to refuse.
"Even at the very last moment, when your soul is about to enter the Sword of Destiny, you're still hesitating.
When the Sword of Destiny turned milky white, Qidian hesitated for a long time in the Sword of Destiny. I had to persuade her for more than ten seconds before she left the Sword of Destiny.
"Similarly, your soul did not enter the Sword of Destiny during those ten seconds.
I think you're the same as Qidian. You're hesitating as well. You're wondering if you should snatch Qidian's chance at rebirth. Am I right? "Guhan finally finished his series of words.
"I didn't think that the person who understands me the most is …" Tears began to stream down Reina Takasaka's cheeks.
"This damned body. I can't even control my tears!"
Reina Takasaka mumbled to herself. After changing her body, her personality seemed to have changed quite a bit as well.
"Since you trust me, I'll tell you everything I know!" Reina Takasaka took in a deep breath, and began to tell a sad story.
Fleeting Time was around the same age as Liunian Ling at the time. Both of them had just turned 18 and left the Fleeting Time Family, eager to explore the world.
Fleeting Time met a beautiful girl in his travels. She had curly hair, and would do silly things from time to time. Fleeting Time was completely mesmerized by her.
The origin of this girl was not ordinary. She was the granddaughter of Sword Emperor Yan Jin, who was nearly seventy years old at that time. Moreover, she was also a powerful Spirit Sword Master. In her hands were swordmothers, all of which were powerful swordmothers that could control the air and wind.
For some unknown reason, Fleeting Time had never seen Fleeting Time release the Sword Mistress from her body.
What happened next was just like those cliche soap operas. Fleeting Time and the girl finally fell in love with each other after many adventures. They confessed their feelings to each other and promised to spend the rest of their lives together.
Fleeting Time, who had been poisoned by the Charm Poison, forced himself on the girl, and the situation had reached a point where it was impossible to salvage the situation.
The girl had no choice but to tell Fleeting Time the truth. She was not Gu Jin Jiandi's granddaughter, but a Yuan Kou that was picked up by Gu Jin Jiandi an hour later.
When Gu Jin Jiandi saw the baby Yuan Kou, she had nothing on her other than a talisman with her name and date of birth.
Only the heavens knew why Sword Emperor Ji Jin, who had never shown any mercy in killing Yuan Zhen, had decided to take in and raise this infant Yuan Zhen out of kindness.
But that was the truth. Gu Jin Jiandi had used his absolute authority to seal Kumiko Uejo's identity. Even the Yuan Kou detection system in Beijing was altered, allowing the girl to live as a human until she met Fleeting Time.
The girl's name was Kumiko Uejo.
