Chapter 1283: Disappointment (1)
Gu Qingheng was straightforward because Xinxin had promised the sword to him, so it truly was given to him, and since his own weapon was a sword, he reached out and took the Blood-drinking Sword. Initially, the treasure sword seemed to struggle a bit, after all, its master had been Yang Ruxin.
But Gu Qingheng’s martial arts and Inner Strength were strong, so he wrestled with the treasure sword for an hour. Eventually, the sword seemed to resign itself, finally stopping its struggle. "Fine, this man’s blood smells similar to the master’s. Fine, I’ll settle on following him."
Yang Ruxin sighed in relief, genuinely worried that her man would be injured by the treasure sword. Fortunately, he ultimately tamed the blade. With it, he would surely be more secure if he went to battle.
Outside the secret room, everyone anxiously awaited the outcome.
They had previously heard noises from inside, which had truly made everyone nervous.
At that moment, seeing Yang Ruxin and the others come out unharmed, with Gu Qingheng even holding a dusty-looking treasure sword, everyone couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Of course, while some were relieved, others couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed. Take Song San, for example, who found that the more he interacted with Yang Ruxin, the more he was drawn to her. Though a village girl, she showed none of the timidity typical of one. She was formidable, skilled in martial arts, Medical Skills, cooking, and business—in short, it seemed there was nothing she couldn’t do. She had both the appearance and temperament of a superior woman, a true paragon among humans, fit to stand side by side with a man, only a woman like her was worthy of standing next to him at the highest positions...
But why had Gu Qingheng appeared so early?
Gu Qingheng had certainly noticed the complex look Song San gave him and met it squarely, neither servile nor overbearing. Although he was unaware of Song San’s inner thoughts, he had long known this man harbored feelings for Ruxin, but Ruxin was his, and no one’s desires could change that.
Following this, Yang Ruxin bid farewell to Wan Song, her purpose achieved, making it unnecessary to stay longer.
