He Ruqian bit her red lips lightly, with a kind of beauty that made me feel pity for her.
Coupled with the natural charm emanating from her foxy body, she is full of enchanting temptation. Most people really cannot resist her charm.
Lin Mobai ignored the temptation and said indifferently: "Let's talk business. I don't have time to waste here with you."
He Ruqian tidied up her hair that was blown by the evening breeze, and said with a pursed red lip: "It's like this, I haven't thanked you properly for saving my life last time, so I want to leave you my contact information, and I will repay you when I have the chance in the future."
When Lin Mobai heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly with a hint of sarcasm.
He didn't say anything either, just stared at the other person calmly.
The scene fell silent. He Ruqian felt uncomfortable with this gaze, as if her inner thoughts were seen through, making her feel very uneasy.
It took a long time.
Lin Mobai shook his head calmly: "Go away, this little trick is useless to me. You and I have no relationship. Whether it is blood feud or grudge you have encountered, it has nothing to do with me."
He Ruqian's pretty face was full of disappointment.
She was waiting here for Lin Mobai just to seek the protection of a strong man, or even to avenge the He family. That day, Lin Mobai easily killed the top strong man of Youge, which gave her the last hope.
But this glimmer of hope was soon extinguished by Lin Mobai himself.
"Plop--" He Ruqian suddenly knelt on the ground. The muddy ground in the wilderness was full of silt, but she didn't mind at all. She just knelt in the sewage pit and looked at Lin Mobai stubbornly.
"My benefactor, I know you are very powerful. As long as you can help me once, I will be your slave for the rest of my life, and I will not complain at all."
"It's no use kneeling down. What? Do you still want to blackmail me morally?"
Lin Mobai shook his head and refused mercilessly.
There are grudges and love affairs happening every moment in this world. If he were to interfere in everything, even the Immortal Master Xuantian would not be able to handle it.
Besides, everything in the world has its own cause and effect cycle, and suddenly getting involved in it will not benefit his spiritual practice.
Lin Mobai walked forward leisurely, ignoring the beautiful girl kneeling on the ground.
Like strangers.
He Ruqian smiled bitterly. Lin Mobai was his last hope. If he missed this master, when would the He family’s blood feud be avenged
'Grandpa, even if I keep that thing, I won't be able to keep it.
"Rather than letting it be taken away by the people in Youge, it is better to use it as a bargaining chip. This is the last chance for the He family. Please forgive me, your unfilial granddaughter, for losing the He family's heirloom..." He Ruqian's face was full of misery, and then she seemed to have made up her mind and took out a box from her arms.
The sandalwood box was opened.
“Crack—” “Zheng!”
Almost at the moment the box was opened, the sound of a sword suddenly rang out from inside the box, and the gentle evening breeze on the banks of the Lingjiang River instantly became as sharp as a sword.
Endless sword intent burst out from the box.
"Um?"
Lin Mobai had already arrived at the riverside and was about to jump into the riverbed to practice when he suddenly cried out in surprise and turned to look at what was in He Ruqian's hand.
"This is... the Heart of the Sword Soul!"
Lin Mobai's eyes flashed with brilliance.
The Heart of Sword Soul is the life-giving object of a high-level cultivator who has comprehended the supreme sword intent.
In other words, among all the cultivators in the world, sword cultivators are the most powerful in attacking. When sword cultivators become sword immortals, their innate sword spirit will be born. This is the most fundamental thing for a sword immortal.
What shocked Lin Mobai was not the Sword Soul Heart, but—"There is actually a Sword Immortal on Earth?"
Lin Mobai was extremely shocked. He took a step forward and instantly crossed dozens of meters to come in front of He Ruqian.
Inside the sandalwood box, there was a thumb-sized jade sword, emitting endless sharp sword intent, but this was not real jade, but a sword soul heart that was completely condensed into a substance by the will of kendo.
"Where did you get this thing?"
Lin Mobai asked in a serious tone.
"Sir, this is a family heirloom of my He family. It is said that it was left behind by one of my ancestors after his death."
He Ruqian reported truthfully, and when she saw that Lin Mobai was interested in this thing, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.
Then, she held the sandalwood box in both hands and pushed it forward: "If you are interested in this, I can give it to you."
"Yeah?"
Lin Mobai moved his gaze away from the Sword Soul Heart, looked at He Ruqian and said, "If I accept this, does that mean I will help you avenge your blood feud?"
He Ruqian nodded slightly, smiled bitterly and said, "My He family was originally a large family in Jiangbei that has been passed down for hundreds of years. We were once glorious, but each generation was inferior to the previous one. In the end, because of this item, Youge discovered it and the whole family was wiped out."
"Now the entire He family has fallen apart, and everyone has fled in all directions. Only one in ten of the direct descendants are left. The He family is about to be extinct, and there is no point in keeping this heirloom."
He Ruqian raised her beautiful eyes and said in a serious tone: "Sir, as long as you help the He family to avenge their death and help me to revive the He family, I will give this thing to you."
Lin Mobai did not agree immediately, but just looked quietly at the stunning woman in front of him.
The evening breeze was bleak, and the heart of the sword spirit exuded endless sharp sword intent, making the night even more chilling.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll take this thing away?"
Lin Mobai finally spoke: "Kill you and take the things away. I can get your He family's treasure without having to help you. It's the best of both worlds."
"I'm not afraid."
He Ruqian raised her head slightly, her beautiful face full of despair: "I have nothing now. The Youge assassins are all over Jiangnan Province. They will find me sooner or later. What do I have to be afraid of?"
"Sir, if this thing is useful to you, please accept it. I only ask that you can help me kill my enemy and revive the He family."
He Ruqian handed over the sandalwood box again.
Lin Mobai lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "This thing is of infinite value. Are you sure you want to give it to me?"
"Sure."
He Ruqian nodded firmly.
Lin Mobai frowned and thought for a while, then continued: "If I get the things, I won't do revenge for your He family now."
He Ruqian nodded and said, "Well, I just want a promise from you."
"Okay, I'll go to Jiangbei after I settle things in Jiangshan."
Lin Mobai spoke indifferently, then took the sandalwood box from He Ruqian.
Inside the box, the heart of the sword spirit was like a ruby, emitting a light red glow. The light flickered and exuded endless sharp sword intent.
Lin Mobai was transported in by a stream of spiritual energy.
Suddenly, the heart of the sword spirit became violent, and the sword intent that was originally emitted unconsciously suddenly became extremely violent.
"Bang!"
Almost instantly, the sandalwood box was exploded into pieces by the violent sword intent.
He Ruqian anxiously reminded: "Sir, be careful, the sword stone cannot be touched with the flesh..." But she didn't finish her words, her beautiful eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost.
