C94 Keeper (1/2)
It was destined to be an extraordinary night. To Chu Jingli, this night was truly unordinary.
”Young Master, Ru Ying has something that I want to show you.”
Chu Jingli quickly got up from the bed, ”What is it?”
”Young Master, please come with me.”
Just like that, like a shadow leading the way, he led the way into a secret chamber.
There was already someone waiting inside the secret chamber with a dull expression. It must be because he had made up his mind.
”Follow me.” Actually, she shouldn't have been surprised to see him here. After all, they were cousins.
However, the matter of these two siblings luring him here at night had to be left to his imagination.
Could it be that Zhao Rujun was not dead? Hide here? But it didn't look like it. The secret room was empty, except for a platform three steps away in front of them. Something was placed on the platform, covered by a black cloth.
”Young Master, after you.” He made a hand gesture and indicated Chu Jingli to go forward. Then, he took off the black cloth and indeed, an exquisite box was revealed.
Ru Ying also walked forward silently and stretched out his hand to caress it, muttering, ”It's all because of the thing inside that caused Miss to die.”
Chu Jingli didn't understand. Why did he say that Zhao Rujun's death was related to the contents of the box? Had he been able to determine the cause of her death?
He silently took out a key from his waist, opened the lock, and opened the box. Inside was a shining sword.
This sword was dazzling, filled with spirit energy. With one glance, one could tell that it was no ordinary sword.
”Young Master, I believe you have guessed that it is the Dian Cang Sword.” His expression was still as calm as before. Tonight, he had successfully completed his mission and was able to comfort his master's spirit in heaven.
”Dian Cang... It really is a peerless sword. ” Chu Jingli's eyes revealed a hint of admiration. He was a martial arts fanatic and a sword fanatic. He had hidden countless swords, but none of them were comparable to the sword in front of him.
Ruo Ying was still a woman after all. When she saw Dian Cang, she immediately thought of her bitter master. She said sorrowfully, ”Young Master, you must properly guard the Blue Sword. You must not disappoint my Young Miss.”
After Chu Jingli heard this, two questions suddenly appeared in his heart.
One, leave the Dian Cang Sword in my custody? They're not joking?
Secondly, what did this have to do with Zhao Rujun's death? She could not figure it out no matter how hard she thought.
Chu Jingli knew from his actions that the siblings were not joking.
Just like that, the Azure Dot Sword was handed over to Chu Jingli. As Chu Jingli held it in his hand, he felt that it was incomparably dexterous. This sword seemed weightless, light as a feather.
”Young Master, from now on, you are Dian Cang's master. The Zhao Family's mission can be considered successfully accomplished.” He felt as if a huge boulder was lifted from his heart.
Chu Jingli ignored the happiness of getting Dian Cang and seriously asked a question, hoping to get an answer. ”What happened to Zhao Rujun's death?”
As Shadow closed his eyes, his tears fell, ”Young Master, you still don't understand? If Dian Cang recognizes his master, the protector shall die. This is the tyranny of Dian Cang's sword. ”
”What?” Chu Jingli was shocked. The Zhao Family was protecting the sword with their life.
The Zhao Family has a gold and silver mountain, but they have to pay a corresponding price. The guardian will not live past twenty, so, the Zhao Family must marry before the age of twenty, and also give birth to a descendant. They must continue to pass on their mission to protect Dian Cang until the person arrives. ”
