Chapter 19: The Exquisite Sword and the Mysterious Wooden Bird
Somewhere in the Yuntian Secret Realm.
"Junior Sister Ling'er. Are you sure you are here?"
Xu Qingwan asked as she looked at the clear lake in front of her with rippling blue water.
"It seems, maybe, should, probably!"
Zhao Linger scratched her head and replied.
"Zhao Ling'er..."
Xu Qingwan spoke word by word.
"Sister, I know you are in a hurry, but please don't..."
Before Zhao Linger could finish her words, Xu Qingwan turned around and prepared to leave.
"It's out. Look there. It's right there!"
Zhao Linger said excitedly, pointing to a place not far away.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingwan turned around and looked in the direction Zhao Linger was pointing.
I saw a colorful koi suddenly leap out from the tranquil lake, like a nimble arrow of life, breaking the calmness of the water. Its body was agile and it jumped up in an instant, bringing up water droplets that sparkled in the sun, like bright pearls. In an instant, the water droplets broke in the air and turned into countless tiny elves, reflecting colorful light. The rainbow, like a bridge in the sky, spanned over the blue waves. It was short and gorgeous, instantly dyeing the entire lakeside with color, making people unconsciously hold their breath and stare, sighing at the magical charm of nature.
At this time, the fish seemed to have discovered the two people standing by the lake. As the fish fell back into the water, it disappeared without a trace in a short while.
"Look, look~ I told you my feeling is not wrong."
Zhao Linger said proudly.
Xu Qingwan frowned.
(I have already checked it out and I am sure there is nothing unusual there, but now a colorful fish popped out. Could it be...?)
Xu Qingwan was shocked.
(Could that thing be the spirit of something? It is said that only the spirit of a divine weapon can be separated from its body. After all, the power of a divine weapon is unpredictable, so it is normal that it cannot be sensed!)
The more Xu Qingwan thought about it, the more frightened she became.
Then he turned around and said to Zhao Linger.
"Ling'er, since this thing is meant for you, let's stay here for a while."
"Great!"
Zhao Linger said excitedly
"Then should we ask Senior Brother Wuchen for help? I feel that Senior Brother Wuchen is a good person. And that Lin Yixuan who came later seems like a good person too."
"No! Junior Sister Ling'er, I've told you so many times that people's hearts are treacherous. You can't just rely on your feelings to judge whether someone is good or not. You also have to look at what this person has done, what he has done, and what he finally chooses to do! Only in this way can you judge what kind of person he is."
Xu Qingwan said solemnly.
"Got it! Senior Sister Qingwan..."
Zhao Linger responded with her head down.
The next day.
Zhao Linger found two pieces of bamboo from somewhere and tied a rope to one end of the bamboo, as if she wanted to make a fishing rod.
It’s strange, because this fishing rod has neither a hook nor bait.
"Is this okay?"
Xu Qingwan asked doubtfully.
"You'll know if you try it."
Zhao Linger blinked mischievously!
Then he threw another fishing rod to Xu Qingwan.
Xu Qingwan followed Zhao Linger's example and attached her own spiritual energy to one end of the rope as bait. She then threw the fishing line into the lake and waited for several hours.
Just when Xu Qingwan was about to give up,
Zhao Linger then said in a low voice.
“Here I come~~~~”
The colorful fish approached Xu Qingwan's bait, sniffed it, and then covered its nose in disgust. Then it swam towards Zhao Linger's bait, as if it had found something delicious, jumping around excitedly, and then opened its incredible mouth and bit down.
Zhao Linger immediately pulled up the fishing rod.
The fish was pulled out of the water, and when it saw the two people from yesterday, it suddenly opened its mouth (seemingly hesitated for a moment), then bit again. Then it turned into a beam of light and sank into the water.
"You ate my bait and you want to run away?"
Zhao Linger angrily threw down the fishing rod and jumped directly into the water.
Guanghua sank into the water and turned into a colorful koi again, looking at the stranger who was chasing after him.
Then he increased his speed and disappeared as he dove downwards.
Zhao Linger swam to the place where the fish disappeared and took a closer look. She found a small mound of earth not far ahead. It was out of place with the surrounding environment.
Zhao Linger used her luck to disperse the dirt, revealing an exquisite little sword and a wooden bird.
Zhao Linger grabbed two things and swam upstream, and soon she reached the surface of the water.
He stuck his head out and held up the two gadgets in his hands to show off.
"Come up quickly."
Xu Qingwan said anxiously.
Zhao Linger then jumped out of the water, tapped her toes on the water, and returned to the shore.
When he spread out his right hand, only the exquisite little bird was left. The exquisite little sword had disappeared, and there was a faint appearance of an exquisite little sword on the palm of his hand.
"this………"
Zhao Linger looked confused.
"It seems this thing will automatically recognize its owner! Remember not to tell anyone else about it!"
Xu Qingwan instructed.
Zhao Linger said "Oh" and handed the wooden bird to Xu Qingwan.
Xu Qingwan looked at the wooden bird carefully.
'This bird is so finely carved that every feather is clearly visible, as if it would flutter and fly away if touched lightly. Its body curves smoothly and its head is slightly raised, as if it is singing!'
Xu Qingwan looked at it for a long time but couldn't see anything mysterious, so she threw it back to Zhao Linger.
"I can't see what this thing is used for. It could be useless, or it could be a treasure."
Xu Qingwan gave a relatively fair evaluation.
"Just keep it. No matter if it's useful or not, it's nice to keep such a delicate little item as a souvenir!"
Zhao Linger said this and put it away.
"Let's go! We have wasted a lot of time. We need to hurry to the depths of the 'Cloud Sky Secret Realm'."
Xu Qingwan said!
"Oh... By the way, Senior Sister. Do you know the new member Lin Yixuan?"
Zhao Linger suddenly asked?
"Hmm~ I haven't heard of it. What's the matter?" Xu Qingwan replied.
"I don't know, but I always feel like getting closer to him!"
Zhao Linger said casually.
Xu Qingwan stared at Zhao Linger in confusion.
"It's not what you think. He gives people a friendly and comfortable feeling. Looking at him, I feel extremely happy, as if I don't have to worry about the sky falling, because he will support me. Anyway, I feel that he is a very good, very good, very good person!"
Zhao Linger quickly explained.
"Junior Sister Ling'er, you have only been a disciple for a short time and have met too few people. You can only know a person's face but not his heart. You don't know what kind of person he is. When you meet more people, you may not think so anymore!"
Xu Qingwan said.
"But I remember Master also said that appearance is determined by the heart, and the first impression is very important."
Zhao Linger pouted and retorted in a low voice.
"Junior Sister Ling'er, do you still remember what Master said? This time when we enter the secret realm, all actions must be under my command."
Xu Qingwan said with a serious expression.
"Remember, listening to you is different from my feeling that Lin Yixuan is a good person. There is no conflict!"
Zhao Linger said with blinking eyes.
"You... forget it~ It's up to you. When we get out, I'll let the master teach you a lesson."
Xu Qingwan threatened.
"Master won't teach me a lesson!"
After Zhao Linger finished speaking, she stuck out her tongue and ran away.
Xu Qingwan shook her head helplessly.
Then he flew up on his sword and followed Zhao Linger!
Let's go to the depths of the 'Cloud Sky Secret Realm' together.
