Song of Adolescence

Chapter 283 Sword Heart Returns to One

Lei Clan Fort has a large clan and if one looked closely at the previous generation of Lei Clan’s four heroes, Lei Mengsha, Lei Yunhe, Lei Hong, and Lei Qianhu, they were in fact, very distantly related by blood. Especially Lei Hong who was from the branch family. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be pursuing Lei Mengsha’s daughter all this time. Also, when Lei Mengsha married Li Xinyue at a young age, the other three were only little children. So, the relationship between Lei Clan Fort and Sword Heart Tomb was not actually that close.

But Lei Yunhe was an exception.

Back then, after Zhao Yuzhen dismembered Lei Yunhe’s arm, Lei Yunhe was rescued by Baili Dongjun. After that, his martial arts realm fell drastically and he remained in seclusion in Snow Moon City for many years. And because he went up the mountain to challenge Zhao Yuzhen, he caused Zhao Yuzhen to suffer qi deviation and he missed the agreement with Li Hanyi. So, he’d always felt guilty and the one person he feared meeting the most was Li Hanyi.

Lei Yunhe clasped his fist and said, "My thanks to the Tombmaster for bestowing the sword. I will take my leave…"

"Why are you running? Do you think I’m in any condition to kill you now?" A cold voice came in and Li Hanyi and Lei Wujie walked past He Qu to open the door and walk straight in. As Li Hanyi was walking, she also lectured Lei Wujie impatiently, "This is your home. Why are you waiting to be announced like an outsider? So improper."

Lei Wujie nodded while supporting Li Hanyi with one hand. "Jiejie is right."

"Li Hanyi, you…" Lei Yunhe was shocked. He could tell with one glance that Li Hanyi’s martial arts realm had dropped drastically, and she had lost almost all her skills.

"Bastard!" Li Suwang yelled, and the Four Swords of Elegance flew out of their sheaths simultaneously and landed beside him. "Hanyi, who did this to you? I will kill them."

"Grandpa." Li Hanyi smiled bitterly. "You’re already an old man. Can you not be so impulsive?"

"Oh." Li Suwang waved his sleeves, and the four swords tumbled onto the floor. He stepped forward full of annoyance. “What happened? With your skills, even that Solitary Sword Immortal Luo Qingyang wouldn’t be able to injure you this badly."

Li Hanyi sighed. "It was the Hidden River Partriarch."

"Merely the Patriarch of Hidden River? How could he have injured you this badly?" Li Suwang frowned.

"It’s complicated. I’ll tell you the details later." Li Hanyi turned to Lei Yunhe and said, "What are you doing here?"

Lei Yunhe held onto the Restrain Thunder sword and stammered, "I… I came to ask for a sword." Lei Yunhe was not afraid of anything on Heaven and Earth, except Li Hanyi who was standing right in front of him. He was afraid Li Hanyi would take away the sword he’d just obtained. But, Li Hanyi merely glanced at it coldly and said, "Not bad."

"Yeah… it’s not bad." Lei Yunhe didn\'t know how to answer.

Li Hanyi looked up at him. Lei Yunhe was badly shaken by that cold glare. "What?"

"Still not leaving?" Li Hanyi said slowly.

"Huh?" Lei Yunhe was puzzled.

"He Qu, send off the guest!" Li Hanyi turned around and ignored him.

He Qu stepped forward and respectfully reached an arm out towards Lei Yunhe. "Fortmaster Lei, please."

Lei Yunhe sighed and murmured, "I’m also from the dignified Lei Clan Fort, leader of a large faction of the martial world. I’ve come from afar and I’m not even getting a meal…"

Naturally, Li Suwang was long accustomed to his granddaughter’s habits. He walked over and patted Li Hanyi on the shoulder. "Hanyi, you haven’t visited Grandpa for so many years. This time, you must have come here for some purpose. Talk, is it because you heard that I have a little genius doctor staying here so you’ve come to recuperate from your injuries? Speaking of which, although Sikong Changfeng is her shixiong, he’s really inferior to her."

"That\'s one of the reasons. If you didn’t have that little genius doctor here, then Sikong Changfeng would definitely not be willing to let me come. But there are two more important matters." Li Hanyi reached out her right hand and Lei Wujie hurriedly handed over his own sword. Li Hanyi drew out the Heart sword. "Grandpa, take a look."

"This!" Li Suwang was shocked. He grabbed the Heart sword and examined all the little nicks on it. "What weapon did you encounter that could damage the Heart sword like this? This is the Heart sword! Could you have encountered the Heaven Breached sword?"

"No, that person didn’t seem to be armed at all." Lei Wujie thought about it. "Well, he used his sleeves against the sword."

Li Suwang exhaled a cold breath. "What, is he a divine immortal or something?"

Lei Wujie smiled wryly. "Yeah, you could call him that."

Li Hanyi asked, "Can it be repaired?"

"In this world, I’m probably the only one left who can repair it. But, it’ll take some time." Li Suwang examined those nicks carefully.

"How long?"

"At least half a year." Li Suwang placed the sword back into its sheath.

"All right. We’ll probably stay in the Tomb for a while." Li Hanyi nodded.

Li Suwang was ecstatic. "You’re staying for a while? At least half a year?"

"Yes." Li Hanyi looked at Lei Wujie. "During this half a year, besides troubling Grandpa to repair this Heart sword, I’ll need your help to do one other thing with me."

Lei Wujie suddenly felt a chill run down his back.

Li Suwang frowned slightly, and had a brief thought. "You want to bring him to Sword Heart Cliff?"

"Yes, it’s time our Li family have another sword immortal," Li Hanyi said lightly.

Li Suwang laughed out loud and said, "Very good."

Lei Wujie mumbled silently in his heart: But my surname is Lei, ah.

The three of them walked out of the Sword Pavilion. Li Suwang brought the Heart sword with him and prepared to bring it to the sword house. Li Hanyi also wanted to see the sword house, which she hadn’t seen in a long time, and went with him. Lei Wujie hurriedly found an excuse to escape with He Qu. He Qu smiled and said, "Young Tombmaster, someone just happens to be looking for you."

"Who?" Lei Wujie asked in confusion.

"She." He Qu smiled and pointed at a little lady who was standing in the courtyard. She was Hua Jin, the final disciple of Medicine King Xin Baicao. She was bent over, looking carefully over the herbs she had planted, but when she heard their voices, she turned her head. "Ah? It\'s you. Then…"

Lei Wujie understood immediately. "He didn\'t come."

Hua Jin seemed to gather a hint from Lei Wujie\'s expression, and she felt a flicker of joy in her heart. "Then he…"

"He’s all cured." Lei Wujie smiled.

"That’s wonderful!" Hua Jin laughed and jumped up. But, her feet were unsteady and she staggered before falling on her backside and crushing the herbs she landed on.

"Sigh, I’m suddenly thinking about that little girl who resembles a glutinous rice doll."

Heavenly Revelations City, Lanyue Marquis Residence.

The handsome Marquis, dressed all in gold, gathered his fur coat and spoke lazily.

"Marquis, it’s time to set off." The chief steward of the Marquis Residence stood behind him and reminded, "It’s an important day today. You can\'t be late."

Lanyue Marquis yawned lazily. "It’s just the annual Ceremony of Offering Sacrifices, isn’t it? Burn some incense, pray to Heaven, it’s so boring."

"Marquis, you mustn’t talk like that when you’re outside." The chief steward understood his master’s character and spoke with a smile.

Lanyue Marquis turned around. "Let\'s go, then. We can’t really be late. By the way, any sign of movement from Snow Moon City recently?"

"We just received some news. Not long after head disciple Tang Lian left the city, Li Hanyi and Lei Wujie also left the city a little while ago."

"Oh? What about the young master named Xiao Se?"

"He’s still in the city. It appears that he has no plans to leave."

"Looks like we’re really going to have to wait a full year. To fight Ye Xiaoying for someone, I sometimes really admire my own courage."
