Chapter 17: Sword Cultivation Part 1 (1/2)

The tall man had bright black crystals eyes. His hair was long and shiny. He was slender and his face was extremely pale. He was wearing a blue and white dress. It was a shirt and pants. When he looked down, he saw Qin standing with a stunned expression.

For a moment, his eyes shrunk as well. Then, he looked at Claire behind him. When he saw her, a smile appeared on his lips. Then, he gazed back to Qin and spoke ”So, it's you.”

When Qin heard that, his eyes narrowed. He pointed at himself and asked, ”You know me?”

”Time hasn't come! Well, you are very weak now.” Saying so, he floated near Qin and the sword suddenly escaped from Qin's hands.

”What do you mean? Are you related to me?” Qin didn't care about the sword. He was only excited about learning about himself.

”Yes, but not in a way you think! This sword has followed me all the way to the top. But now, for me, everything is a sword. It's not that I don't need it rather I think someone else needs this more than me. And, it is a good thing that you have found it.”

”This sword will show you the path to the top. For you, I have sealed this sword's powers so that you can use it without using her powers. But, don't overly rely on this sword. Improve your sword cultivation. Originally, it wasn't supposed to be you.”

”But, something has changed and now you are here. So, you can read that book.” After that, he returned the sword to Qin and turned his head at Claire.

”We brought him here but he couldn't sense you. It has been a long time. I hope you can find the clues he has left in this world. And, once you are healed.” Suddenly, that man's eyes turned serious as he continued ”Leave his body!”

When she heard those words, she felt slight killing intent. She felt she could die any moment if it wasn't for him. When she heard about him, her heartbeat increased rapidly. But everything disappeared as soon as that killing intent appeared.

After that, he turned his eyes back at Qin and all of his killing intent disappeared as if it was never there. He smiled and said ”Don't call for others to help! Only if you rely on yourself, you can surpass most.”

As he said that, the body slowly disappeared. Qin raised his hand but held back the question when he saw a gentle smile on that face. He couldn't help but feel empty. He doesn't know why but he feels that he knows this man.

'Are you two still alive? Can I find you and learn the whole truth?' Qin asks himself as he looked at the ceiling. His heart was crying but he didn't hate them. Yes, his life has been miserable but still better than some.

He is just satisfied that he lived. Because if he lives, he can take revenge. As soon as the revenge came to his mind, his heart was filled with hatred. He didn't hate his original parents but the person who killed his godfather and godmother is his mortal enemy.

Behind him, Claire touched his back once again but this time he lost his consciousness. At this moment, the black gas came out of his body and transformed into his original devil form.

”What do you want?” His voice was hoarse. He was irritated when he got called by her.

”Who is this boy? Why does that man want to kill me but not you? I am not harming him.” Claire spoke as she looked at Qin. It has only been two days and she has already felt mysterious about Qin.

”Your excellence is a universal spirit. But, you are not strong enough to know anything about him. If you learn during his journey, then there is nothing I can do. But, once your injuries are healed, please leave this body.”

”You already have someone. As for a mentor, he doesn't need you. As for dual cultivation, he will learn on his own. You have no reasons to stay here. You should be grateful that you are related to someone he knows otherwise he would've slaughtered you.”

After saying so, the devil returned back to the body, leaving Claire in a big mess. She felt she has stepped on something she shouldn't have. Normally, a universal spirit is respected everywhere but why does it feel like she was like an ant in front of the people related to Qin.

”Is universal spirit great?” Suddenly, a mocking tone rang from Qin's body. Claire clenched her hand. She felt humiliated at this moment but she didn't dare to say anything. She found although these people are strong, they aren't helping Qin directly.

It feels like Qin's parents were stocking him. Of course, this was only feeling. She didn't dare to confirm it.
