Chapter 336 Life and Death is Ordinary (2/2)

Shen Lian responded quietly, ”Senior Brother Chen, you're seriously injured, why did you not inform me directly?”

There was a token on Chen Jianmei that could contact the sect directly. There was no need to send someone to pass the message.

Chen Jianmei simply said, ”I did not want to get you involved. Also, this is my own vengeance, I have to avenge it myself.”

Shen Lian stared coldly at Chen Jianmei and he chillingly said, ”With your kind of injuries, if I had come a few days later, I'm afraid you would not be alive by then. How are you still going to avenge yourself then?”

Chen Jianmei answered indifferently, ”For me to be able to cultivate to where I am today, I have already moved on from matters related to life and death. Also, I have also decided to examine that person's swordcraft. His swordcraft is simply advance, also, this is the Dao of Killing Sword. If I heal my injuries, I would not have the chance to understand his swordcraft.”

Shen Lian was stunned, he did not think that Chen Jianmei would not clear the sword aura and heal his injuries, just because he wanted to study the other's swordcraft.

This vigor he had to disregard life and death, Shen Lian did not know whether he should consider him idiotic or say that he is a sword maniac.

Shen Lian followed, ”No matter what, I cannot sit here and watch you die.”

Chen Jianmei propped his hand on Shen Lian's shoulder, his gaze was determined and he did not allow his will to be rejected.

Shen Lian knew that once people like him had already set his mind to something, he would not change it. He sighed faintly, ”Based on your current situation, you should at least take some elixir and not let your injuries worsen.”

Chen Jianmei smiled forcefully and said, ”Originally, I planned to take the medicine. Before this, because I was too caught up in this person's sword aura and the memories of his swordcraft, I have forgotten about this matter.”

Shen Lian saw that even though his divine Qi was weak, but there was no deathly stillness within his eyes. He felt slightly rest assured.

The fact was, for public and personal reasons, he did not want anything bad to happen to Chen Jianmei. After all, when Qing Xuan showed signs of rising again, Chen Jianmei had quite the expectation towards him to be the figure to attain Dao. If he was to be destroyed, it would be a major loss to the sect's morale. Furthermore, even though the both of them hardly said much but their minds were mutual and their friendship was profound.

Not only that, Zhang Ruoxu really loved and favored Chen Jianmei while he was still alive. Shen Lian was even secondary to Zhang Ruoxu. If anything were to happen to Chen Jianmei, Shen Lian would be unworthy of Zhang Ruoxu's trust.

Shen Lian said, ”I will remain here during this period to protect you. I would not fold my arms and stand idly knowing you are in any real danger.”

Chen Jianmei said, ”I did not go looking for death on purpose. Since you're already here, it would be great for you to protect me. However, it would be best for you to converge your vital force right now so that that fellow won't come looking here. I am not looking down on you but with your current capabilities, you are still worse than him. Also, I think he is a person who pursues the swordcraft wholeheartedly. Even though his path is different from ours but the path of the sword cultivator can easily separate life and death. You have to understand, Qing Xuan can stand without Chen JIanmei but it cannot stand without Shen Lian.”

Cold sweat appeared on his face as he said this many in one breath. Shen Lian knew that Chen Jianmei had divided some of his mind and spirit and now, that terrifying sword aura was moving restlessly once again within his chest area.

Shen Lian softly responded, ”I understand. You rest well then.”

What Chen Jianmei said were his heartfelt words. Even though his mind and spirit were devoted to swordcraft, to him there was only his sword and himself, but because of Zhang Ruoxu, he still could not cut ties with Qing Xuan.

However, with his temper, he could sacrifice his life for Qing Xuan, but he would not see to the development of the sect and unite the sect.

Even with his peerless cultivation experience, he was fated to only be helpful when it came to physical matters.

But the legacy of the sect did not rely solely on the physical force for solutions.

The dependency of Qing Xuan towards Shen Lian was very, very strong. Even if other people in the sect was not aware of this, but Chen Jianmei's heart could see this clearly.
