Supreme Sword Sovereign

Chapter 26 – Seeing each other differently, feeling distant, calling me sister!

"Trouble!"

Shen Xuan's face changed dramatically.

"They've found us so quickly!"

Boom!

Boom!

In an instant, the ground shook even more violently.

"Young brother!"

Shen Xuan's face turned pale.

"I need to leave quickly, we'll meet again..."

Before he could finish the word 'again,' he had vanished.

"Young Master."

Ah-Sha approached.

"Why did he run? That... lady didn't seem like a bad person."

"..."

Gu Han was speechless.

These two were simply fooling around after a full meal!

Bang!

Suddenly!

A more intense tremor than before shook the ground, and the beast's cave started to collapse!

Madman!

Gu Han cursed silently, quickly grabbing Ah-Sha and running out.

Just as they reached the outside.

He was stunned.

In a deep pit a few dozen feet wide, Shen Xuan lay at the bottom, a purple-gold hammer pressing down on him, making it extremely difficult to even twitch!

Not far away.

The female warrior strode forward confidently, reaching the edge of the pit in a few steps.

"Run!"

She smirked coldly.

"Why aren't you running now?"

"Murong Yan!"

Shen Xuan's face was filled with grief and indignation.

"Don't push me! I, Shen Xuan, have my pride! I will never agree to marry into your family!"

Murong... Yan?

Gu Han's face showed a hint of amusement.

Such a delicate and gentle name was a perfect match for this female warrior!

"Heh."

Murong Yan scoffed.

"Today, you either come back with me, or you'll lie here forever!"

"Even if you kill me, I won't go back!"

"You think I'm ugly, just like the others, right?"@@@@

"Not at all, don't be ridiculous!"

"..."

"Let's go."

Seeing the two arguing non-stop, Gu Han had no intention of staying any longer and prepared to leave with Ah-Sha.

"Young man!"

Suddenly.

Murong Yan's voice came from behind.

"Do you also think I'm not good enough for him?"

"..."

Gu Han turned around helplessly.

"No."

"I want your honest opinion!"

Murong Yan seemed unsatisfied with Gu Han's answer.

Gu Han looked at her calmly.

"That is my honest opinion."

"..."

Murong Yan fell silent for a moment.

She could tell that Gu Han wasn't lying.

"But..."

For some reason.

Facing such honesty, her boldness seemed to fade away, and she looked somewhat uncomfortable.

"You've seen it, I... am not good-looking."

"Does whether you're good-looking or not have anything to do with whether he likes you or if you're worthy of him?"

"Huh?"

Murong Yan was taken aback.

This was the first time she had heard such an opinion.

Could it be... it doesn't matter?

"If you like him and he likes you, then you are worthy of him! What outsiders think is their business, and their opinions never mattered!"

"Well said!"

From the pit.

Shen Xuan couldn't help but cheer.

Gu Han's words struck a chord with him.

Murong Yan fell silent again.

Although she appeared rough on the outside, she had always felt somewhat inferior due to her looks. The reason she had been so persistent with Shen Xuan was to cling to the last bit of self-esteem in her heart and to prove to others that she was not unlovable.

But Gu Han's words suddenly made her realize.

All of this...

Was actually meaningless!

"Ah-Sha."

Gu Han seemed to understand her thoughts and turned to Ah-Sha.

"Did people call you stupid before?"

"Yes!"

Ah-Sha nodded.

"Lots and lots!"

"Do you care?"

"Not at all!"

She hugged Gu Han's arm.

"Because I have Young Master!"

After a pause, she added, "And chicken legs!"

Actually, Yuan Crystals and spiritual herbs would have been nice.

But he couldn't refuse her kindness, so he accepted it.

"Then thank you, Miss Murong."

"Don't mention it!"

Murong Yan looked at Gu Han more and more favorably, pretending to be displeased: "You're being too formal, just call me sister!"

"Yes!"

Gu Han's face twitched again.

"Murong... Sister!"

He forced himself to say it, wanting to get as far away from this odd couple as possible, and immediately left with Ah-Sha.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

Watching Gu Han walk away, Shen Xuan approached.

"Not simple at all!"

"What's not simple?"

"This Brother Gu, at such a young age, has a steadier heart than you or me, and can say such things. He's either a great reincarnation or has gone through unimaginable hardships! Either way, he's a rare talent that comes once in a hundred years!"

"That's true, the wastes from the sect can't compare to him... Huh?"

Murong Yan reacted.

"Senior Brother, are you thinking..."

"No rush."

Shen Xuan smiled.

"Let him gain experience in the Martial Academy first. When the sect opens its doors again, we'll bring him back together!"

"That's a good idea!"

"But speaking of which, Junior Sister, you just gave away that token. If Elder Murong finds out, he might be furious."

"Hmph!"

Murong Yan glared at him.

"The token is mine to give to whoever I want! Besides, I trust this Brother Gu!"

"Alright, alright."

Shen Xuan was somewhat exasperated.

"You can give it to whoever you want, it's none of my business, but..."

He suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Junior Sister, let's not bring up the marriage thing again, shall we? Cough cough... After we go back, I'll have Master propose to Elder Murong for you. Although I can't marry into your family, I can marry you. Besides, those two are always arguing about us, and it's quite annoying."

"Senior Brother!"

Murong Yan's eyes reddened.

"I... I won't hit you anymore!"

In her emotion.

She hugged Shen Xuan tightly.

"Cough cough..."

Shen Xuan turned red with suffocation.

"Broken... broken! Junior Sister! My bones... are broken! Let go quickly..."

...

Under a tree more than ten feet tall.

Ah-Sha carefully applied medicine to Gu Han, her face full of concern.

Gu Han, holding the heavy dark iron token, kept turning it over and over.

The craftsmanship was a bit rough.

A 'Murong' character on the front, and a 'Yan' character on the back.

That's it?

He pursed his lips.

A guest of honor?

It would have been better to get ten or eight thousand Yuan Crystals.

"Young Master."

After applying the medicine, Ah-Sha looked around.

"Shall we continue looking for spiritual herbs?"

Spiritual herbs?

Gu Han was startled.

Right!

He had been so preoccupied with Murong Yan that he almost forgot about the Purple Crystal Vine in his hand!

From Shen Xuan's tone.

This thing was indeed extremely valuable!

Huh?

Suddenly.

His expression changed, and he looked into the distance.

"Young Master, what's wrong?"

"People!"

His spiritual sense was sharp, and he could hear the faint footsteps in the distance.

And...

It wasn't just one person!

He slowly stood up, sword in hand, gently shielding Ah-Sha behind him.

A moment later.

Rustle rustle rustle...

The footsteps drew closer.

At that moment.

A staggering figure appeared before him, seemingly badly injured.

"It's you?"

Seeing the newcomer.

Gu Han was taken aback.

This injured person was none other than Chen Ping, whom he had met at Doctor Xue's door the other day!

"Young... young brother?"

Chen Ping was also visibly shocked.

"Quick, run!"

As if remembering something, he urged hastily.

"They're catching up!"

After speaking.

As if not to involve Gu Han, he changed direction and plunged into the dense forest.

"Where did he go? Where did he run off to?"

"Hmph, he's so badly injured, he can't have gone far, search!"

"Be careful, don't let him get desperate and destroy the pills Doctor Xue gave us, or we'll have been busy for nothing!"

"..."

With those words.

Four or five figures chased after them from not far away, coming face to face with Gu Han!
