Chapter 114 Moon in Sword Heart
When Lei Wujie came out of the Sword Pavilion with his Heart sword, Xiao Se was sitting lazily on the steps lost in thought.
Lei Wujie ran over hurriedly. "Miss Hua Jin said you need to rest quietly for three days, so she wouldn’t let us see you for the last few days. How are you? You’ve completely recovered, right?"
Xiao Se nodded. "I won’t die anyway. On this trip, we detoured to Qingcheng Mountain, and then ran into Sword Heart Tomb. We’re getting closer and closer to your deadline of three months. You must be getting anxious."
Lei Wujie shook his head. "How can that be? Don’t worry, we can wait until you’re well-rested before leaving."
Xiao Se chuckled lazily. "Miss Hua Jin said, my health is not in any danger now…"
Lei Wujie immediately pulled Xiao Se up from the ground. "Well great! Let\'s pack up and set off! If we miss the deadline, my sister will kill me for sure."
Xiao Se looked at the other wryly. "Did you learn your two-face skills from me? You’re getting better and better at it."
Lei Wujie scratched his head. "Actually, I was really anxious inside, ah."
At this time, Sikong Qianluo and Luo Mingxuan also rushed over. Seeing Xiao Se, Sikong Qianluo felt a twitch in her heart, and she opened her mouth to speak, but still held back. With swords hanging all over his body and looking like a hedgehog, Luo Mingxuan ran over to Xiao Se in a few steps. "Xiao Se, your health has recovered."
Xiao Se glanced at him. "When did you become a hedgehog?"
"The Immortal Six Gambles technique. I have recently figured out a few gambits. If I have a chance, I’ll show you something great," Luo Mingxuan said triumphantly.
Xiao Se counted, and frowned slightly. "It’s called the Six Gambles technique, but why does there seem to be an extra one?"
Luo Mingxuan shrugged. "Maybe the old Tombmaster gave me an extra one."
At this time, Li Suwang also walked out of the pavilion, and everyone hurriedly saluted him. Although Li Suwang occasionally showed the look of an odd and lustful old man, he was a person of prestige in the martial world after all, and he had been famous for decades, so everyone still held him in awe. He was supposed to be the former Sword Heart Tombmaster, but his successor Li Xinyue passed away, so he had no choice but to regain his position as the Tombmaster, but now Lei Wujie had inherited the Heart sword…
It just so happened that at this time, He Qu, He Cong, Wu Fa and Wu Tian also followed behind Li Suwang. When they saw Lei Wujie, they clasped their fists and called out respectfully, "Tombmaster."
Ranked fourth among the famous swords under Heaven, the Heart sword. It had always been the sword of the Tombmaster of Sword Heart Tomb. Since Lei Wujie inherited the sword, he should be the new head of Sword Heart Tomb.
Lei Wujie was taken by surprise, and said, "Huh?"
Luo Mingxuan said gleefully, "Lei Wujie, you have become the Tombmaster of this Sword Heart Tomb. Shouldn’t you stay and forge swords?"
Lei Wujie spread his hands. "How would I know how to forge a sword, ah."
Li Suwang laughed and said, "Sword Heart Tomb\'s successor, to put it plainly, is actually the sword guardian of the Heart sword. He doesn\'t necessarily have to be able to forge swords. Xinyue also didn\'t know anything about sword-forging back then. So don\'t worry, you go ahead and explore the martial world. I didn\'t stop Xinyue back then, and I won\'t stop you."
"Grandpa…" Lei Wujie whispered, feeling the sadness from Li Suwang’s words.
Luo Mingxuan cupped his fists excitedly. "Then we won’t bother Senior any longer. Let’s pack up and take our leave." Turning around, he pulled along Sikong Qianluo and Xiao Se to leave. Then, he turned his head and raised his eyebrows at the four sword guardians of Sword Heart Tomb. The four immediately understood and hurriedly followed.
Sikong Qianluo was puzzled. "Luo Mingxuan, why are you in such a hurry?"
Luo Mingxuan whispered, "People want to talk about their own family affairs, what are we outsiders doing there?"
Xiao Se turned his head and took a look. Lei Wujie and Li Suwang sat down on the steps in front of the Sword Pavilion, one young and one old, looking up at the sunset, speaking softly to each other.
Li Suwang took out a smoking pipe from his sleeves, took a sharp breath, and exhaled the smoke leisurely.
Lei Wujie sat beside him and asked, "Grandpa, can you tell me about my mother?"
"Your mother, your mother is a very good person, kind and smart with a gentle personality, and exceptionally talented in martial arts." Li Suwang continued smoking. After a long while, he sighed heavily. "She should never have met that wretched Lei Mengsha."
"What\'s wrong with my dad?" Lei Wujie asked.
"This Lei Mengsha followed his good brother Baili Dongjun to visit Sword Heart Tomb. Instead of waiting properly in the Sword Pavilion, he ran off to explore the Sword Tomb Cliff. Well, there’s nothing wrong with seeing the Sword Tomb Cliff, but he had to go and challenge Xinyue to a duel. Well, there’s nothing wrong with duelling also, but he had to go and win. Well, winning is okay too, but he had to…" Li Suwang continued to grumble and grouse.
Lei Wujie scratched his head. "Grandpa, why do you sound like you’re jealous…"
"Sigh!" Li Suwang slammed his pipe on the steps. "But he even dared to seduce my good daughter. From that day on, she argued with me everyday about going into the martial world with Lei Mengsha. At the time, I thought, young people can’t just stay in a valley all their lives, and that Lei Mengsha appeared to be a fine and talented young man, and also the son of a good family. So, I agreed."
"But then, this Lei Mengsha was really no good. He said he would take my daughter to wander the martial world, but why did they end up in Heavenly Revelations City? And even went and became some big general? He got himself killed on some battlefield and that’s that, but why pull my daughter into this too?"
"I regret it. Why did I agree back then? I should have made your mother stay." Li Suwang\'s face was teary and his hands trembled slightly.
"Grandpa…" Lei Wujie gently patted Li Suwang on the shoulder.
Li Suwang raised his head and wiped his old tears. "What do you think? If back then, I didn\'t let her go, would everything be different?"
Lei Wujie thought for a while and nodded. "Yes, for example, there won\'t be me."
Li Suwang was amused by these words. "You really resemble your father in character, all heartless and simple-minded."
"We are not heartless, but there are some things that will always be remembered in our hearts!" Lei Wujie stood up, waved his long sleeves, and the Heart sword jumped out of its sheath and fell heavily on the steps. He turned around and looked at Li Suwang earnestly, and said loudly, "If Dad and Mum have any unfulfilled wishes, I will fulfill them. The vengeance left in Heavenly Revelations City back then has not yet been repaid!"
Li Suwang picked up the pipe and said nonchalantly, "The young man named Xiao Se who’s travelling with you is not a simple man. You were hunted by Hidden River all the way here. The reason must be related to him."
Lei Wujie smiled openly. "He’s just my friend. At least till now, he just is."
Li Suwang stood up and nodded. "Alright. But before you go, there’s one more thing you have to do."
"What?" Lei Wujie looked at Li Suwang seriously, and his heart tightened.
"You fix this step for me!" Li Suwang said angrily, "You don’t want to stay in this Sword Heart Tomb as Tombmaster, so I still have to worry about all these family matters from top to bottom! But, you have it easy, you just wave your hand and break my step. If you don’t fix it, you can’t go!"
