Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? - Chapter 784
Chapter 784: Borrowing
“Haha, that ruthless sword strike finally shows my sweetheart disciple’s true colors!”
Chen Huaian watched with satisfaction in the Canglan Mirror as Li Qingran carried her mother back to their small home.
Li Qingran had always been soft-hearted.
Even after being persecuted by several senior brothers and her master in the Qingyun Sect, her nature had not changed.
For disciples within the sect who made mistakes, as long as they weren’t fundamental errors, she would usually lightly let them off after some minor punishment.
Or she would show some care for these punished disciples in other ways.
For example, sending punished disciples to the Myriad Sword Tomb for seclusion. The Sword Intent within the tomb scraped the bones, and disciples punished there often ended up with torn flesh and unbearable agony.
Li Qingran would personally prepare medicinal soups for healing and nourishing the spirit for these disciples, helping them quickly recover their bodies after punishment while also advancing their cultivation.
This style of handling things unexpectedly had a carrot-and-stick effect.
These disciples not only didn’t hate Li Qingran, but instead increasingly supported her position in the sect.
One could only say that sometimes the most unexpected actions yield the best results…
When Li Qingran stormed into the Flame Boar Family, he had worried she might just make a big show but take little action, like simply rescuing Yang Fei and leaving.
Now it seemed he hadn’t understood Li Qingran well enough.
Li Qingran was soft-hearted, but she had also matured considerably, knowing what could be kept and what couldn’t.
Li Ji no longer had any marital affection for Yang Fei, and after being driven from the family, Yang Fei had no lingering feelings for Li Ji either. To avoid Li Ji causing trouble in the future.
A single sword strike to kill him was the best solution.
Not only did it solve the problem, but it also deterred other troublemakers, killing two birds with one stone.
“There shouldn’t be any major issues after this.”
Chen Huaian watched Li Qingran take Yang Fei home and settle her in, then finally closed the Canglan Mirror.
The Sword Sphere Li Qingran used would definitely attract attention.
But the power of that sword strike was already sufficient to make people think twice before acting.
Even if they wanted to investigate Li Qingran, they would only dare to probe slowly. If anything really happened, the Electronic Girlfriend Game would give him advance warning.
He couldn’t keep staring at the Canglan Mirror forever. Whether in the Cangyun Realm or Earth Star, there were plenty of matters waiting for him to handle.
Taking a step back, using this Canglan Mirror wasn’t free either, costing money every minute and second.
Even with the Celestial Jade Marrow vein producing top-grade spirit jade for him daily, it couldn’t withstand such spending.
“Ancestor!” Just as he closed the Canglan Mirror, Chen Huaian heard Zhang Mengchu’s urgent voice outside the cave dwelling.
This elder was usually a leisurely character, so such shouting must mean something had happened.
Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes.
As he stood up and walked out of the cave dwelling, his Divine Sense expanded outward, almost instantly clashing with another Great Ascension Stage peak Divine Sense outside the Moon Shadow Sect.
“Coming uninvited…”
He murmured to himself, his sense of alarm rising sharply.
…
Canglan Realm.
The reality matched what Chen Huaian had thought.
After escorting Li Qingran back, Old Fu immediately returned to the Battle Soul Hall to report the situation.
“What did you say? Li Qingran took out an item and instantly crushed the entire Flame Boar Family along with their head, Li Ji?”
Qin Feng stared in disbelief, his face showing utter incredulity.
“Old Fu, this isn’t something to joke about…”
“Mr. Qin, do you think I’m the type to joke about such things?” Old Fu’s hunched figure emerged from the shadows, his wrinkled face pulling into a bitter smile. “I was ready to intervene at that moment, but then that girl threw out something, its power was extraordinary. Judging by its might, it was comparable to a full-force strike from a titled Epic-level expert…
And what concerned me more was that when that strike landed, there seemed to be a sword phantom descending along with it.
It’s just that the situation was too chaotic at the time, and I was too frightened to see it clearly.”
“A sword-type phantom?” Qin Feng paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. “That kind of sword?”
Old Fu paused, then nodded. “Yes.”
“Hiss—!” Qin Feng sucked in a sharp breath.
He had previously suspected Li Qingran might have a deity’s inheritance, and now it seemed eighty to ninety percent certain.
After all, when deities select inheritors, besides bestowing trials, they try to protect the inheritor’s safety in other aspects.
However, this protection doesn’t include situations within the trials themselves.
Meaning the inheritor can only die during the trials, but cannot die outside them.
The deity needs to ensure whether the inheritor is qualified to inherit the divine position, so they eliminate all interfering factors.
And Li Qingran killing Li Ji and destroying the Flame Boar Family was likely accomplished by borrowing divine power.
An inheritor of a deity…
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes—he had still underestimated the secrets and importance surrounding Li Qingran. If he told the Hall Master, the Hall Master would probably be very pleased, right?
He nodded to Old Fu. “Continue protecting Li Qingran from the shadows. Don’t let any suspicious people approach her.
Now that she might possibly be an inheritor of some deity, we absolutely cannot let her go to other empires, nor can we let her attend other academies.
She… can only come to our Battle Soul Academy!”
Old Fu acknowledged with a ‘yes’, his figure disappearing into the shadows.
…
At the Moon Shadow Sect’s Mountain Gate.
Chen Huaian stared grimly at the withered old man sitting on a mountain rock, not revealing the slightest trace of aura.
That old man also stared at Chen Huaian, not speaking, just cackling with a strange laugh.
“Spirit Void Old Ghost?” Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes. “What are you doing here?”
“Naturally, I’ve come to visit the world’s number one Sword Master and his sect, hehehe~” Spirit Void Old Ghost gently stroked his ghost-head cane with his withered hand. “This old man has cultivated in the Void Abyss for many years and has finally reached the Great Ascension Stage’s perfection. Now I need a geomantic treasure land to continue my breakthrough and usher in the heavenly tribulation.
This old man thinks the back mountain of your Moon Shadow Sect is quite good. The Spirit Veins are like dragons, Spiritual Energy is abundant, truly an excellent place for a breakthrough.
So…” He grinned, his face twisting fiercely. “Lend it to this old ghost, won’t you? Let me use it?”
