The original Wei Yu 'er was an ordinary and amiable girl-next-door.
However, the one in front of him had an aura as cold as a mountain. Moreover, he exuded a sharp aura from head to toe, as if he was a peerless sharp sword with a sharp edge. Ordinary people would be hurt by him even if they just looked at him.
A word flashed through Lin Yi's mind.
Sword shadow!
The Wei Yu 'er in front of him was a sword shadow that was created based on the original Wei Yu' er. And the person who created her was obvious.
"Lin Yi?"
Wei Yu 'er took a look, obviously remembering the entanglement between Lin Yi and the original owner's family. But just as Lin Yi had guessed, she may have inherited the original owner's memories, but she did not inherit the emotions.
Therefore, there was only coldness in her eyes.
Xu Taiyi looked at the two of them for a while before he said,""Junior Sister Wei, the Sea King has come to our sword Pavilion at master's invitation. Please pass on the message."
In fact, as the eldest senior brother, he was qualified to enter the sword saint's Secret chamber. However, after Wei Yu 'er appeared, he chose to avoid arousing suspicion.
He didn't want to cause internal disharmony in the sword Pavilion because of such a small matter.
Wei Yu 'er ignored him, treating the two of them as air, and turned to leave.
The situation was extremely awkward.
In the end, it was still Xu Taiyi who laughed."Junior Sister Wei has a cold personality and is not good at dealing with people. I'm sorry to make you laugh."
"It seems that it's not easy for you to be the eldest senior brother."
Lin Yi smiled nonchalantly, testing the waters."Does brother Xu know her identity and background?"
Xu Taiyi immediately became alert.""Could it be that hai hai Wang is interested in Junior Sister Wei?"
"I am indeed interested."
Lin Yi's answer immediately made the man feel like he was facing a great enemy. He laughed and added,"But I don't think it's the kind of interest you think it is. I'm just curious about her background."
Xu Taiyi was skeptical, but he replied after a moment of hesitation,""Junior Sister Wei was saved by master when she was traveling. Her family had met with misfortune, so she was brought back to the sword Pavilion. Because of her special aptitude and excellent talent in sword arts, she was officially accepted as master's disciple."
"That sounds normal, but aren't you curious at all, brother Xu?"
Lin Yi changed the topic.
"Curious about what?" Xu Taiyi was slightly taken aback.
"With brother Xu's level and strength, it'd be a bit of a stretch to say that you can't even tell that miss Wei is a sword shadow," Lin Yi said faintly.
"What?"
Xu Taiyi's face was filled with shock and disbelief.
Lin Yi couldn't help but frown at the honest look on the guy's face.
From the looks of it, the other party and the rest of the sword Garret did not seem to know about Wei Yu 'er's background!
He had actually taken this for granted.
He had just seen the sword saint's sword shadow, and with his extraordinary insight, it was not surprising that Wei Yu 'er could not hide from him.
But for Xu Taiyi and the other swordsmen, although they were disciples of the Sword Garret and had a much deeper understanding of the Tao of the sword than the outsiders, it was still a great skill of the Tao of the sword, a great move exclusive to the sword Saint.
Even Xu Taiyi, the Big Brother of the sword Pavilion, didn't have the chance to see it. He wasn't as good as Lin Yi in this aspect.
Moreover, the sword shadow was exclusive to the sword Saint. Normally, even if it appeared, it would look like the sword Saint. Who would have thought that the sword Saint would spare no expense to create a sword shadow of Wei Yu 'er!
However, Xu Taiyi immediately came to a realization."No wonder, that makes sense. But how did the king of the sea shore know about this?"
"I saw it with my eyes," Lin Yi smiled.
“……”
Xu Taiyi was speechless, but he didn't say anything in the end. He didn't reveal any more information about Wei Yu 'er to Lin Yi.
With his status and strength, he wasn't as famous as Lin Yi, but it wasn't to the point where he had to suck up to Lin Yi.
As the big senior of the sword Pavilion, he only needed to show Lin Yi some basic courtesy.
After Xu Taiyi's report, Lin Yi walked into the secret room and saw ye Qiyuan in person.
Compared to the sword shadow he had seen at the sea goddess Hall, this main body's aura was not stronger. Instead, it was a lot more dispirited, as if he was about to die.
Lin Yi subconsciously recalled the previous beast God.
The sword saint's current state was very similar to the former beast God 's. His life force was quickly being lost, but the sword precepts didn't leave the sword saint's body. As for the former beast God, he had completely lost the source of his power, the divine persona.
"You're here. "
The sword Saint raised his eyes with some effort and got straight to the point,"Are you interested in the rules of the sword?"
His words shocked the two of them.
Lin Yi didn't expect him to be so direct. They did come here for the rules of the sword, but there were thousands of disciples in the sword Pavilion. If they really wanted to choose a successor, why didn't they choose from within the sword Pavilion?
From an ordinary person's point of view, no matter how one looked at it, it was not good for the sword Saint and his sword Pavilion to pass on the rules of sword to outsiders.
There was no such thing as a free lunch.
Lin Yi didn't know what the other party was trying to do, but one thing was for sure-even if the other party was willing to give up the sword rule, he would have to pay the price.
After all, the sword Saint couldn't possibly be on the verge of death and simply wanted to help the younger generation because he liked him, right?
Xu Taiyi was equally shocked.
Who would inherit the rules of sword had always been the most concerned topic in the sword Pavilion. As the eldest brother, he naturally could not avoid it.
He'd guessed that Lin Yi would come at a time like this, but now that his master mentioned it, he couldn't help but feel a sense of danger.
Lin Yi nodded faintly as he felt Xu Taiyi's gaze."Naturally,"
The sword Saint revealed a strange smile.""Everyone in the world covets the rules of the sword, but it's not that easy to obtain. Even if I wanted to give it to you, you might not be able to take it. You might even lose your life here."
"Please give me some pointers, Sword Saint," Lin Yi said, his expression unchanged.
The sword Saint looked at him deeply and revealed a bit of expectation.""When the sword tomb opens tomorrow, I will use my remaining strength to send ten people down. The inheritance of the rules of sword is there. As for who can get it, it will depend on your own abilities."
"The sword tomb?"
Lin Yi's eyelids twitched, and Xu Taiyi was even more shocked."You go too."
Xu Taiyi was both happy and sad. He knelt down and kowtowed three times to the sword Saint."This disciple will follow your orders."
It was naturally a happy thing to have the opportunity to obtain the inheritance of the rules of sword, and he was no exception. However, the sword saint's meaning was very clear. Once the sword tomb opened this time, his master, who had been struggling at death's door, would probably be like an oil lamp running out of oil.
