89 Scar (2/2)

”Hmm, why is it purple?” She thought curiously before stashing it in her spatial pouch.

Lei Xinyi suddenly appeared next to her.

”Xun Wei, is your eye okay?”

”Mn, I'm alright.”

”You were still cut. Take this healing-regeneration pill. It will prevent your injury from scarring.”

However, to her surprise, Xun Wei declined.

”Xun Wei, if you don't treat it it might scar.”

”Scars are something we Swordsmen wear proudly, did you already forget that?” Xun Wei said.

Lei Xinyi was speechless. To see the most beautiful girl she's ever seen willingly let her beautiful face get scarred was too difficult to accept.

Although her words were true, the women in the Divine Sword sect often didn't follow that philosophy.

Besides, Xun Wei had a very beautiful and innocent looking face, in fact, she was by far the most beautiful looking girl she's ever seen. Many women would kill their own families and genocide their entire clan to have a face and body like that, but she didn't seem to care about it.

Xun Wei used to look very ordinary before she met Xiao Fang. To her, beauty was something women used to seduce men with, but despite being surrounded by far more beautiful girls, Xiao Fang still chose her.

The only thing Xun Wei cared about now was her cultivation and to be recognized as a swordsman like her master, even if it meant looking a little more intimidating.

However, upon cleaning the blood from the scratch, Lei Xinyi sucked in a mouth full of cold air.

'How can this be.'

Lei Xinyi stood there shocked. The scratch didn't ruin her beautiful face, it actually added to it.

Xun Wei saw the shock in her senior sister's eyes and assumed it was bad, but she didn't want to think about it anymore so she ignored it. She instead looked down at her trembling hand.

After using the 2nd stage of the Quick Sword technique, it became difficult to carry her sword.

Surprisingly, the backlash wasn't nearly as bad as she was expecting, but she knew it was because of the sword her master gave her.

Thinking about her master, she was reminded of the fate that awaited her.

Seeing Xun Wei's mood change, Lei Xinyi tried to cheer her up.

”Xun Wei, the scratch doesn't look bad. You probably won't believe me when I say this, but it actually looks really good on you!”

Xun Wei chuckled inwardly when she realized why Lei Xinyi was so shocked, but to her, caring about how beautiful she looked just seemed childish. All that mattered was that she looked presentable.

”I'm not concerned about the scratch, I was just thinking about how master will punish me once she discovers what I did.”

Lei Xinyi was surprised that she was finally talking about it again.

”If you want to talk about it, you know I'm always here for you,” Lei Xinyi spoke in an empathetic tone.

As they were jogging back home, Xun Wei eventually told her about the punishment. Upon hearing it, Lei Xinyi couldn't help but feel terrified for her.

”Xun Wei, you must leave. I'm telling you this for your own good. Master will certainly not spare you. You must go before she comes out of her closed door training.”

Xun Wei had already considered doing that, but she couldn't help feeling that it was a cowardly act.

”Xun Wei, don't be a fool. Forget master, with your talent you will certainly stand at the pinnacle of the cultivation world. Don't let her destroy your future prospects. Go, leave now and never come back.”

Xun Wei frowned. She never considered herself a very arrogant person, but she couldn't refute Lei Xinyi's words when she considered all the progress she made in the short 2 months that passed.

If she lost her eyes that would significantly effect her ability to body cultivate. She didn't want to be crippled for the rest of her life, but most importantly she didn't want Xiao Fang to leave her behind.

Upon returning back home, she thought long and hard about it, then eventually made up her mind.

She said her farewells to Chun Hua, Yu An, and Li Lian, then left to go back to the Black Paradise sect.

Current day.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Xiao Fang was in both shock and disbelief since he woke up next to Wu Yue. The reason for it was because of his current cultivation.

He was no longer in the 8th stage of the Solid Body realm. He was now in the 1st stage of the Profound Body realm!
