Chapter 1429: The Ancestral Civilization
Ye Guan carried Sui Gujin on his back as he walked toward the ancient bronze palace. Fearing that he would attract the attention of the mysterious expert, he dared not use his power.
At this moment, Ye Guan was feeling tormented.
Sui Gujin was incredibly soft, as if she were boneless. Carrying her on his back meant he could clearly feel the warmth and suppleness pressing against him, and he also caught whiffs of her faint fragrance.
After walking for a while, Ye Guan suddenly put her down. "Lady Sui, you should walk on your own."
Sui Gujin looked at him, and her gaze seemed to be able to see right through him. "You're a swordsman. A swordsman should have a heart as still as water. But right now, your mind is filled with distractions. How do you even cultivate your sword?"
Ye Guan coldly replied, "This has nothing to do with me. It's your fault."
Sui Gujin frowned slightly.
Ye Guan bluntly added, "Lady Sui, you're too beautiful. I'm finding it hard to control myself when I'm carrying you like this."
Sui Gujin was momentarily stunned.
Ye Guan found himself speechless. Who made the rule that swordsmen had to be all prim and proper? Sword cultivation is about cultivating the heart, not about abstinence. If cultivating the sword required celibacy, that'd be absurd.
Men only call themselves gentlemen under one condition—when they were faced with an unattractive woman.
