Chapter 427 Sword Test
Chapter 427 Sword Test
"I'm just curious, why is Senior Sister Ruoxu so fierce?"
Ruomiao's bright eyes flickered a few times, and then she stuck out her tongue at Ruoxu in an angry manner. However, Mrs. Xue didn't know what she was thinking of, and a barely perceptible cunning flashed in her eyes.
"If you're curious, little girl, then you can try it out. I heard that the swords worn by the Taoists in your Zixiao Temple are all made by the Sword Forging Villa. This is a good opportunity to test their sword-making skills."
"Okay, okay, then I'll give it a try!"
Ruo Miao's eyes were full of eager anticipation, and at the same time, her right hand subconsciously reached for the sword at her waist.
"Ruo Miao, don't be silly. The weapons in Senior Xue's hands are all divine weapons. Don't you want to give up your sword?"
Ruoxu stretched out his arm to stop his junior sister from reaching for his waist, but Ruomiao didn't care. She just held the other's arm tightly with both hands and kept begging.
"Senior Sister! I'm really curious about how sharp the dagger in Senior Xue's hand is. Could you please be so kind as to let me try it out?"
"Try it? What if your sword really breaks after trying it?"
Ruoxu frowned slightly, with a serious look in his eyes.
"If it's really broken, then I'll have no choice but to sell myself to Senior Sister. I'll be willing to work like a slave without complaint. I only ask Senior Sister to give me a sword!"
Ruo Miao tapped her temples lightly with her fingers, looking as if she was racking her brains, but she quickly raised her eyes and put on an innocent smile.
"Naughty!"
Ruoxu stretched out his finger and gently tapped the girl's forehead. Then, as if he had completely compromised, he no longer tried to stop her from doing what she was going to do next. Ruomiao's face suddenly broke into a bright smile. She swiftly drew the sword from her waist and walked briskly to Madam Xue.
"Senior Xue, it is said that this sword of mine was forged by the skilled craftsmen of the Sword Forging Villa over a period of 49 days. Its blade is extremely sharp..."
She had barely uttered half a syllable of the word "比" when there was a crisp "clang" sound. The sword, which had taken 49 days to forge with great care, was broken in two by the blow of the dagger.
"Oh, this sword that took forty-nine days to forge is not good enough. How come it breaks directly after just one strike?"
Just as Mrs. Xue was gloating, Ruo Miao's pretty face turned slightly red. Without saying a word, she rushed straight towards the other male Taoist priest and reached for the sword at his waist.
"Junior sister, no!"
The other party wanted to stop him, but Ruo Miao was much faster than him. She drew out her sword and attacked Madam Xue. There was another crisp sound, and the sword broke into two pieces.
"Oh my goodness, my water is cut off! This is a treasure I bought after saving up all my offerings for a year!"
The male Taoist priest had a mournful look on his face, while Madam Xue was leisurely playing with the dagger in her hand, sighing with admiration.
"Severing the water? Hmm, that name sounds unlucky. Speaking of which, I haven't even named this dagger yet. Such a powerful weapon, I have to give it a resounding name anyway!"
Just as Mrs. Xue was thinking about what resounding name to choose, Ruo Miao shifted her attention to the swords of her other companions. However, this time everyone stepped back in unison, obviously not wanting their swords to suffer the tragedy of being cut off from water.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
When Ruo Miao realized that she could no longer use anyone else's sword for experiments, her face, which was originally full of expectation, instantly fell. Then, she burst into tears without any warning, and tears as big as beans slid down her fair cheeks.
"Junior sister!"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they felt reluctant, they really couldn't think of the right words to comfort them. At this time, Ruoxu walked to Ruomiao and spoke slowly with a stern expression.
"Ruo Miao, do you know you are wrong?"
"Senior Sister, I'm sorry, I, I know I was wrong!"
Ruomiao mistakenly thought that Ruoxu was angry, and her crying became louder. However, the other party first touched her head soothingly as usual, then neatly untied the sword at his waist and handed it to the male Taoist priest with a sad face with a calm expression.
"Ruogu, this sword of mine is my apology for cutting off the water supply!"
"Can't!"
"Really?"
At this time, Ruo Miao and Ruo Gu shouted in unison, but the former was horrified, while the latter was full of surprise.
"It's okay, it's just a sword. I'll tell you when I get back..."
"No, this sword was given to you personally by Sect Leader Lingxuzi after you killed the evil cultists. How can you give such an important thing to someone else so easily?"
Before Ruoxu could finish her words, Ruomiao rushed up and held her arm tightly.
"I told you, it's just a sword..."
Ruoxu looked at the stubborn Ruomiao and shook his head helplessly. Then, he swung his arm violently, and the sword drew a neat arc in the air and flew straight towards Ruogu, whose face was full of embarrassment.
"Junior brother, take the sword!"
"Ah, yes! Yes!"
The other party caught the sword reflexively, and then Ruo Miao rushed towards Ruogu while sobbing.
"Brother! This is the sword that the headmaster gave to me. You can't take it. If Ruo Miao knows she's wrong, I will definitely do everything I can to return you a new sword!"
"This this…"
Ruogu was immediately panicked by Ruomiao's disturbance. Just when he was about to put down his sword, Ruoxu shouted without question.
"Ruo Miao, stop messing around! Ruo Gu, that sword is already yours, don't give it to her!"
"But, but..."
Ruo Miao grunted for a long time but still couldn't make any clear words. In the end, she could only stand there and sob softly.
Seeing her crying so sadly, the fellow disciples around her wanted to go forward to comfort her, but just as they were about to take a step, they were frightened by Ruoxu's look and dared not show their heads.
"My goodness, you've been crying for so long! The people at Zixiao Temple are so cruel! They just keep watching you and don't do anything."
Half an hour later, Madam Xue came close to Lu Wangyou and Bai Yue and complained in a low voice.
"Master, if you feel pity for her, just go and comfort her. After all, you have contributed to her becoming like this!"
Bai Yue couldn't help but shrug when she thought of the two people's rather childish behavior just now.
"She wants to test the sword herself, what does it have to do with me?"
"If you didn't instigate her, would she do this?"
Bai Yue felt that although Ruo Miao was wrong in this matter, Mrs. Xue was also to blame.
"Well, what you said does make sense. Then I will send you to comfort that little girl!"
Mrs. Xue was about to pat Bai Yue on the shoulder, but was stopped by Lu Wangyou.
"Uncle Xue, what does this have to do with Dazhuang? How can you blame her?"
"How can it have nothing to do with her? She was the one who gave me this dagger. From the source, she is the culprit!"
The other party spoke confidently and as if it was a matter of course.
"It's okay, Brother Lu, I'll go!"
At this moment, Bai Yue was too lazy to argue with Mrs. Xue about who was right or wrong. She just walked leisurely with her hands behind her back towards the people who were gathered in a circle.
"My apologies, sir. It's all because of Ruo Miao that I've been delayed for so long. Please wait a moment. I'll just..."
Ruoxu, who had originally had a serious expression on his face, couldn't help but show a trace of guilt when his eyes swept over Bai Yue. However, he shook his head, and then stretched out his right hand behind his back, and two swords with sharp edges appeared in front of everyone.
"Master, it's alright. I'm not here to rush you. It's all my master's fault for being disrespectful to his elders, so I'm here to apologize!"
