Chapter 1213: Returning

Chapter 1213: Returning

“Even so, what should I say when I see Luo Xiaoxue?”

“Hey, long time no see?”

This scenario seemed reasonable, even harmonious.

Not harmonious at all; I’m currently with two girls.

And they’re both demons.

So, does Luo Xiaoxue have the ability to suppress demons now? Just a touch and poof, they turn to ashes?

If so, he could retire already.

“Let’s go back and find Li Ruo’er and the others. By the way, can you still teleport?” Lin Nuo asked Mu Yiting.

“I can’t anymore.”

“Forget it, let’s fly there.”

With that, Lin Nuo summoned his Spirit Sword, soared into the air, and stepped on it.

“So you all… don’t fight over this…”

He was helpless as the two girls began to squabble over who would stand in front of him.

After all, the sword’s width is limited, and usually, he flies facing forward on it.

Whoever stands in front gets the embrace, and those in back just get the back hug. It’s different.

“Can’t you two just fly on your own swords? You both came from Xuanyun Sect, and you’ve mastered flying on swords long before me.”

“How can flying alone compare to flying together with you? Liu, as the senior sister, shouldn’t you stand in front? Doesn’t that seem embarrassing?”

“Miss Mu, this has nothing to do with seniority. I just joined earlier, and my junior brother is much stronger than me; relying on him is perfectly normal. Yet you, you don’t even belong to our world and are a princess to boot; how can you let go of your dignity?”

“He is the supreme Demon Ruler; who am I to even talk about dignity? Oh, are you belittling the status of the Demon Ruler? You have quite the nerve.”

Liu Shuqin and Mu Yiting exchanged their usual banter with smiles, competing without any anger.

The ones who easily show their emotions are Su Kexin, Luo Xiaoxue, Ling Meng, and Li Ruo’er.

Of course, the strongest at maintaining indifference is Qin Shili—no matter joy or sorrow, she always has a deadpan expression, completely unreadable.

“Let’s just go together. You two stand on either side.”

Lin Nuo said, leaving them puzzled. The sword was so narrow that only one foot could stand on it; how could two people stand side by side?

“How do you plan to do that? Doesn’t your sword only have space for one person in front and back?” Mu Yiting asked.

“It can also have people standing on the sides,” Lin Nuo replied, quickly dividing his single sword into three, all three flying in formation.

Multi-sword flight, an innovative tactic.

“This will do. Three swords close together, not a problem at all.”

Lin Nuo said, stepping onto the middle sword,

“So are you all getting on or not?”

“Getting on!”

They said in unison, surprisingly cooperative, each eager to be the first to hug Lin Nuo.

Almost simultaneously, the competitive spirit of women surged.

Soon, Lin Nuo’s sword soared into the sky, the three swords closely aligned, moving forward together; only he could pull off such a stunt.

Quickly, they left the desolate Tianling Mountain behind.

…

“Still haven’t found young master…”

Li Ruo’er was extremely anxious. Since Lin Nuo’s duel with Zhang Yuanxu, he had disappeared without a trace, and now even Mu Yiting was nowhere to be found.

She couldn’t shake the suspicion that Mu Yiting had hidden Lin Nuo away; that woman was truly scheming.

Alive or dead, she had to find any information about Lin Nuo, even just a little bit.

“He’ll be back; you should be reassured,” the Sword Saint said seriously. He had a high regard for Lin Nuo and believed this little matter wouldn’t be able to defeat him; how could he possibly be dead?

“Are your people incompetent or what? Fine, I’ll go find the master myself.”

Ling Meng was also anxious, watching the Fox People fail to get anything done made her restless; after searching for so long, still nothing.

If it weren’t for Lin Nuo asking her to keep company with these Fox People, she would have left ages ago.

To be honest, she really didn’t want to be with this group of Fox People.

And that Sword Saint, she even felt a bit disgusted and couldn’t comprehend how Lin Nuo could have talked to him more than three sentences.

“Miss, Lin Nuo instructed us to take good care of you, so please be patient. I believe he will return soon,” Ni Wanqing communicated patiently with Ling Meng.

Truth be told, she didn’t want to converse with this Demon Woman; however, Lin Nuo had instructed them to coexist harmoniously.

After all, Lin Nuo was their benefactor, and the reunion of her and her daughter was all thanks to him; her daughter was smitten with Lin Nuo—this kindness was something they’d remember for a lifetime.

“It’s been so long; still no news. You all don’t quite fit having a demon like me here, and I’m sure you don’t want to be around me. Your people have been gone for so long without a word, so how can you say you know me so well? I can sense the Master; I need to go find him; he might need help.”

“If he comes back and doesn’t see you, won’t that just worry him?”

“I don’t want to sit here and wait for fate; if the Master is not here, my existence has no meaning.”

Ling Meng said irritably, trying to leave, but the Sword Saint’s sword formation trapped her.

“You…! Why are you trapping me? Let me go!”

Ling Meng was furious, trying desperately to break free, but she just wasn’t a match for the Sword Saint—there’s no way she could break it so easily.

“You’re staying here, with us.”

The Sword Saint said coldly. He didn’t want to deal with Ling Meng, but Lin Nuo had asked him to protect them, so he couldn’t let anything happen.

If he couldn’t even manage this, what’s the point of calling himself a Sword Saint?

“Report, young master!”

A Fox Person hurriedly rushed over to report,

“I just ran into one of my friends who said he encountered a Xuanyun Sect cultivator in a cloak and that Lin Nuo went to Xuanyun Sect; he bolted quickly.”

“Huh? Young master went to Xuanyun Sect? That’s not close to there…”

Li Ruo’er felt mixed emotions; she was naturally happy that Lin Nuo was still alive, but because he didn’t come to meet her immediately, she felt a bit lost, worried he might abandon her.

She really wanted to say something…

“So, will young master come back…”

Li Ruo’er was losing confidence, extremely anxious; what if young master really didn’t come back? What would she do?

“He will return.”

The Sword Saint said firmly. Although Lin Nuo was cunning and often played tricks, he would never abandon Li Ruo’er.

After all they’ve been through, if he was going to give up, he would have done it long ago—there was no need for such grand gestures now.

“Then why don’t you send someone to Xuanyun Sect?”

Ling Meng said; send a few people over, no distance is too far; why just sit around here?

“No need.”

The Sword Saint said, looking up to the sky,

“He’s coming.”

Somewhere in the sky, someone was flying on a sword. Though it was high and hard to see with the naked eye, he could feel it was Lin Nuo approaching.

Perhaps it’s the aura—when a person arrives, the aura follows.

“Huh? Is young master coming? Where is he?!”

Li Ruo’er became excited, looking around, but couldn’t catch sight of Lin Nuo.

“Up above.”

The Sword Saint pointed to the sky, and soon, Lin Nuo came soaring down on his Spirit Sword.

Not only he, but he was also bringing back two younger sisters.
