“In order to recover the Violet Green Sword, both parts of its Sword Spirit had to be awakened. So, my Sword Sect had no choice but to forge the Violet Green Sword into two swords before they were given to the disciples of the sect to be constantly nourished within their Dantians with the hope that they would be able to awaken the Sword Spirit within these two swords!” Tang Ye was visibly moved. He hadn’t imagined that the sword in his hand would actually have been a Dao Artifact. A Dao Artifact! That was something that couldn’t be valued with gold at all. Su Qingshi glanced at Tang Ye and continued. “In the Sword Sect, the Green Darkness sword only reacted when I utilized it, so I obtained the Green Darkness sword. The Sword Sect originally intended to hand Violet Spirit over to other disciples to try awakening the Sword Spirit within it, but because of my objection, the Violet Spirit sword has never shown any signs of recovering until now.” “Your objection?” Tang Ye was puzzled. “Why did you object? If someone is able to awaken the Sword Spirit within Violet Spirit, then wouldn’t it be a good thing for the Sword Sect?” Su Qingshi moved her gaze away and spoke indifferently. “If someone was able to make Violet Spirit react, then I would have to cultivate with that person. Moreover, our hearts would have to be linked together....” Tang Ye opened his eyes wide when he heard this, and then he practically roared as he said, “How could you do that? You naturally have to refuse, you did well by refusing....” What a joke! Allow Su Qingshi to cultivate with someone else and have their hearts linked together? Just thinking about it caused Tang Ye to have the impulse to kill someone. Su Qingshi glanced indifferently at him and didn’t speak. Tang Ye seemed to feel he’d gotten too agitated earlier, and he blushed as he smiled embarrassedly. He said, “Qingshi, I’ve caused Violet Spirit to react to me, so does it mean that we’ll be cultivating together and linking our hearts in the future?” Su Qingshi turned around to look Tang Ye in the eye. She said, “We’ll cultivate together if you’re able to return alive from the Grand Myriad Mountains!”Tang Ye felt warmth flow through his heart when he heard this, and he was slightly moved. The woman standing before him was concerned about him, and it was just that the method she showed it was different than others. Tang Ye walked slowly towards Su Qingshi, and then he stretched out his hands to hold both of her. After that, with a light pull, he pulled Su Qingshi’s slightly stiff yet delicate figure into his arms. As he took a light whiff of the faint fragrance that came from her, he said in a soft voice, “Don’t worry. For the sake of my mother and for your sake, I’ll definitely return from the Grand Myriad Mountains!” Su Qingshi’s delicate figure was still stiff. After a short moment, she pushed Tang Ye away lightly, and her icy cold face was slightly blushing. She wanted to struggle free from Tang Ye’s arms yet Tang Ye held tightly onto her waist, causing her actions to be done in vain. As he gazed at Su Qingshi’s beautiful face that revealed traces of shyness, a sudden impulse shot through Tang Ye’s heart, and he lowered his head slowly. Right when he was about to kiss Su Qingshi’s scarlet red lips, she suddenly struggled free from his embrace, held onto Tang Ye’s shoulder, and then vanished on the spot. Just two breaths of time after they vanished, a group of Imperial Guards in silver armor moved in an orderly manner and passed by where they stood just moments ago.... After they disappeared into the distance, Tang Ye and Su Qingshi appeared there once more. At this moment, Tang Ye’s heart was filled with hatred. He wished for nothing more than to rush at them with his sword in hand and annihilate those guards. If those patrolling guards hadn’t interrupted him, then he would have kissed her. Now, it was clear that he didn’t have another chance because Su Qingshi stood far away from him, and her face had recovered its icy cold expression. Even though he knew that she definitely had a place for him in her heart, getting close to her required a string of favorable conditions. That moment from before was the best opportunity, yet it was gone now.... When she saw Tang Ye looking at her, Su Qingshi’s expression was slightly unnatural. She turned around and said, “Prepare yourself well after you get back. The fight to ascend the Ascension Rankings is about to begin!”As soon as she finished speaking, Su Qingshi didn’t stay for another moment. Her figure flashed and vanished on the spot, only leaving behind a strand of faint and clear fragrance where she stood moments before. As he took a whiff of the faint fragrance in the air, Tang Ye sighed in his heart and cursed. Damnable Imperial Guards!! After he finished saying this, Tang Ye’s figure immediately flashed and vanished beneath the veil of night.
