The Eternal Soaring Sword

Chapter 30 - We Seems To Have Met Somewhere Before

The silver moon was like a hook, and the moonlight illuminated everything. Some crows quietly jumped onto the branches of the dead tree.

Looking ahead, the field was covered in an unmarked grave mound that covered the road in front of him. Zhao Jiuge swallowed and thought there should be at least 1,000 graves. Some coffins were seen underground, while others were covered in weeds swaying in the wind.

“Cow, Cak.” The crows occasionally cried a few times as the night wind blew, causing the yellow grass around the grave to roll around on the earth as if there were ghosts wandering nearby. Zhao Jiuge trembled and felt cold because everything was too sinister. His hands clenched the sword and even whitened as he clenched too hard. 

"Aah!" A whisper suddenly came from behind him, and even the forest behind him seemed to tremble. This sudden voice was like an emissary from hell, and it caused Zhao Jiuge to break out in a cold sweat. His teeth trembled slightly and he gulped to force himself to calm down.

He thought about how everything in the world had a spirit; even mountains and rivers had their own soul. All of these things were born from the absorption of spiritual energy from the world; even he himself was like this ever since he started the cultivation path, so what was there to fear? With this thought in mind, Zhao Jiuge felt much better. Besides, he's still young. He suppressed the fear in his heart and held his long sword as he slowly walked forward.

His heart stiffened as he pushed the bushes with his left hand. After looking behind the bushes, Zhao Jiuge's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide to let out a cry. Then his body staggered back a step.

After hearing Zhao Jiuge's cry, there was another cry from the bushes. It was the girl from Dong Yang City. It seemed like he was following Zhao Jiuge out of curiosity from Dong Yang City. Then, as the moonlight shone, he also saw an unmarked grave. As a girl, she was shy and could not help but cry. This caused Zhao Jiuge to suddenly find him, causing him to cry. The two men scared each other.

It was only at this moment that Zhao Jiuge could see it well. She was a girl of about 15 or 16 years old with a gentle face, and her dark eyes were very lively. Her beautiful nose and red lips, combined with her long black silk dress, formed a strong contrast with her white skin. She was so beautiful that people would not dare to stare directly at her.

Bo Re was a snow lotus on an iceberg so glorious and cold, no one dared to approach him. You love it and hate it, but it will also make people jump forward to their deaths like moths to a flame. The girl before him is more like a green lotus in summer— is very lively and clean, and can grow in mud but not stained by mud.

Zhao Jiuge was shocked when he saw a girl with a temperament that matched Bo Re, even though she was still a girl. For a moment, he was shocked and just looked at her like an idiot.

The girl also recovered and calmed herself down. Seeing Zhao Jiuge's lustful gaze, he rolled his eyes and shouted, “What do you see? Never seen a pretty girl before ?! ”

Upon hearing the girl's cry, Zhao Jiuge withdrew his passionate gaze. His breathing was rather short, his teeth were cracking, and his body was trembling. Seeing a beautiful woman with white skin in a place like this made Zhao Jiuge involuntarily say, "You ... Are you a person or a ghost?" 

The girl was already displeased when her brows suddenly furrowed and she angrily shouted at Zhao Jiuge, "Have you ever seen such a beautiful ghost !?"

Zhao Jiuge laughed and felt a little embarrassed. She played a bit of her hair before turning around to look at the girl proudly. He pursed his lips and said, "I've never seen a pretty ghost, but I've met a woman, and I'm afraid nothing can compare to her who has been born." As he spoke, he thought of that night in the cold pond. That noble posture, that fluttering long hair, that plain dress, and that cold yet arrogant temperament.

Women are fearsome creatures of pride. After he heard Zhao Jiuge's words and saw him immerse himself in his memories, he let out a cold snort. Her beautiful eyes turned around and then she stuck out her neck like a proud goose. “Oh, I can't say that a little boy like you has become a pervert. Are you talking about the girl who went shopping with you? I don't think he's much. ”

These words caused Zhao Jiuge's face to turn crimson, but Zhao Jiuge was no longer the shy little boy he was when he met Bo Re. She calmed herself down and explained that Mo Linger was just her little sister. Then he told the girl in front of him about what was happening in the cold pond, about how powerful and noble Bo Re was.

Zhao Jiuge is still explaining, but he has a smile on his face as if he is introducing his favorite toy — he is very proud. He did not realize how ugly the expression of the girl before him was.

The girl finally stretched her neck as she looked at Zhao Jiuge with a playful smile and said, “Look at you, praise her like that. I'd like to have a chance to see what kind of woman you've been hypnotizing. But it's a pity that he doesn't care about you.” After saying that, he looked at Zhao Jiuge playfully.

Seeing Zhao Jiuge's reaction, the girl stuck out her tongue. Her delicate and pretty face showed an apologetic expression and she carefully said to Zhao Jiuge, “Sorry, what I said was wrong. Let us know each other, my name is Su Su.”

Zhao Jiuge let out a large mouthful of air and his eyes lit up. “No problem, what you say is not wrong. However, looking to the future, nothing remains unchanged. As long as someone tries, I believe nothing is impossible in the future.”

After listening to Zhao Jiuge's spirit words, he felt that this young man had changed slightly from before. As for what had changed, she did not know, and her beautiful eyes meticulously observed this young man.

He was slightly taller than her, with a handsome face and dark eyes full of confidence. His long hair was casually tied with a ribbon that fluttered in the night breeze, and his thin smile was extremely infectious.

Su Su Su's eyes glowed brightly and a tinge of red appeared on her gentle face. The two of them silently looked at each other, and no one chose to speak.

Thinking of Su Su's words, Zhao Jiuge silently pondered and took the lead to speak. "Su Su, have we met somewhere before?" After understanding the situation, Zhao Jiuge guessed that the person who followed him back to Dong Yang City and gave him a strange feeling to follow was Su Su.

Su Su gently nodded and pointed to Zhao Jiuge's waist. Zhao Jiuge followed Su Su's gaze to look at the jade pendant his grandfather had given him. He held the jade pendant in his hand and asked, "Su Su, is there something wrong with this jade pendant?"

The jade pendant was black ink, and on it was an engraving of an unknown beast. The head of the dragon, the body of a horse, and the legs of a qilin, but the shape of a lion. “It was given to me by my grandfather before he died. I don't know what it is.” After which, his eyes dimmed as he thought of the old man who had adopted him.

“The animal is Pi Xu. Outside of the auction, I felt the fluctuations from the jade and felt somewhat familiar. As for the specifics, I don't know, but it's something good, so don't lose it. Then I became curious and decided to follow you.” After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment and stared at the jade pendant with a curious look. 

Looking at Su Su Su's excited eyes, Zhao Jiuge handed the jade pendant to her. Su Su carefully examined it in his hand and softly said, "Are you not afraid that I will take it?" After which, he smiled at Zhao Jiuge.

Seeing Su Su Su's seductive gaze, Zhao Jiuge pretended to be cruel. “Try if you dare. This is a wilderness. Hmph, you know what I mean. ” He laughed after he finished speaking, a total change to the fear he felt before. Laughter echoed through this remote place.

“Hmph, who wants your jade pendant? This miss can have anything she wants, who cares about your jade pendant? ” She pouts and speaks as if she doesn't care. After a while, he seemed to remember something and said, “But I secretly escaped, so my family doesn't know. Too boring at home—just cultivate day after day. The outside world is more interesting.”

Zhao Jiuge's mouth twitched slightly. This girl was a little older than him, but she was very strange. He was filled with spirit power and had many strange ideas—a little dizzy.

Buzzing.

An invisible spirit power came from a distance, causing Su Su and Zhao Jiuge to turn their heads. In the distance, a dazzling ray of green light appeared above the grave. The yellow ground was still churning as the sound of hatred came from the light source. Everything's so weird.

Su Su and Zhao Jiuge looked at each other and their eyes widened. In the end, Zhao Jiuge who softly said, "Let's check."
