Chapter 96: Yan Qianyin's Motive
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor:
“Take another look.” Seeing Mo Wuji's look of blankness, Yan Qianyin pointed towards the mottled sword hilt once more.
Mo Wuji did not understand what Yan Qianyin wanted; he extended his hand to feel the sword hilt before asking in 'shock’, “Senior apprentice sister Yan, don't tell me that this is the other half of the broken sword? Did senior apprentice sister Yan bring this over as a gift for me, so that I can make the two halves whole?”
Yan Qianyin answered awkwardly, “This is indeed the Hanging Sword Cliff's other half of the Fallen Tune Sword. It's just that after obtaining the Fallen Tune Sword Art, I want this Fallen Tune Sword. The sect head has already allowed me to retrieve the sword hilt, and I'm here now to shamelessly ask junior apprentice brother for the other half.”
Yan Qianyin felt a little uncomfortable; compared to Mo Wuji's help and compromises, her help did not count much.
Firstly, her life was saved by Mo Wuji. Secondly, she broke her own agreement with Mo Wuji so that she would have yield absolute advantages. Lastly, she was the one who offered to give Mo Wuji the broken sword blade. Now, she's going back on her words by asking Mo Wuji for it.
Mo Wuji did not reply her immediately; he felt that there was something weird with Yan Qianyin's words. Logically, if Yan Qianyin wanted the Fallen Tune Sword because she had obtained its corresponding sword art, she would have asked him for back at Formless Blade Mountain. She did not need to wait for an entire month to ask him for it. There could only be one possible explanation: She discovered a secret from Mo Luoqu's skill transfer crystal ball.
Conversely, this set Mo Wuji at ease; this meant that Yan Qianyin wasn't here to investigate about his previous heist at the Hanging Sword Cliff.
“Junior apprentice brother Mo, I know this is a little too much. To reimburse you, I am willing to offer three Tier 3 pill formulas as well as some spiritual herbs for those pills. These will be the resources for your advancement to a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner. How's that?” Yan Qianyin asked sincerely.
Mo Wuji slowly contemplated. The Fallen Tune Sword was useless to him; the real value of the sword was the Revolving Star Passage Technique which he already took out. Thus, he could fully accept Yan Qianyin's conditions.
It seems like Yan Qianyin knew about the secret of the Fallen Tune Sword. She used an excuse of practising the sword art with the actual sword; naturally, it was because she didn't want Mo Wuji to think that something weird was going on. Well, this was human nature. If it was him, he also wouldn’t have talked about it directly.
“Since senior apprentice sister Yan values the Fallen Tune Sword highly, I will gladly give it to you. Actually, there's also one thing I would need senior apprentice sister's help in…”
“Please speak.” Hearing Mo Wuji willingly offer the Fallen Tune Sword, Yan Qianyin was elated.
“Senior apprentice sister Yan, I have this family member who needs help. Because of some reason, her spiritual roots had dispersed, her spirit channels were torn apart, and her memory was wiped out. I wonder if senior apprentice sister Yan can take a look if she could be cured?” Ever since Mo Wuji was acquainted with Yan Qianyin, he had always wanted her help to examine Yan’Er.
According to Shen Lian, Yan Qianyin should not be able to cure Yan'Er. However, her origins were not simple, and she might actually find a way.
“Where is she?” Yan Qianyin replied.
“Yan'Er, come over for a short while,” Mo Wuji eagerly stood up, walked towards the door and called out.
Yan'Er was alone by the lake. After hearing Mo Wuji's call, she immediately stood up and walked into the house.
Yan Qianyin also stood up and walked to Yan'Er's side, extending her hand to grab Yan'Er’s wrists. In a single breath’s time, the colour of Yan Qianyin's face changed, “Her spiritual roots were forcefully robbed? Who would do such a venomous act?”
