There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 434:【West State Sword Fate】(Thank you to Alliance Hierarch “Ai Ai” for the 100,000 reward)
The sky was low, and dark clouds covered it, today was a gloomy day.

There was always a stifling heat attached to gloomy summer days, even the hot wind that blew carried a touch of moisture.

Lu Xiaoyu and Xiao Long Bao were sitting by a stream outside of Blooming City, with their delicate white feet soaking in the water, feeling the coolness of the stream.

Xiao Long Bao was as chatty as ever, but she noticed that Xiaoyu seemed to be lost in thought lately, she wondered what she was thinking about.

“Whoosh——” A gust of wind blew through the dense forest, knocking loose a green leaf.

The leaf swirled in the wind before falling on the surface of the stream.

What was remarkable was that while the stream kept flowing, the leaf in the center of the stream had halted its journey. It did not sway with the current, but stayed still.

The next moment, a figure cloaked in black descended slowly from high up in the sky, landing gently upon the green leaf with the tip of his foot — completely stationary in the middle of the stream.

“Oh!” Upon seeing the figure, Xiao Long Bao could not help but exclaim.

When Lu Xiaoyu looked up, her previously puzzled eyes instantly came alive.

Standing on the green leaf, Lu Xun’s face carried a warm smile. He said, “I was just passing by. I didn’t expect to run into you two again.”

In truth, he had come specifically to bid farewell to Lu Yu.

“Ah? Elder Lu, where are you planning to go next?” Xiao Long Bao asked.

Looking at them, Lu Xun answered, “I plan to leave West State and return to the Demon Sect.”

“Oh, oh.” Xiao Long Bao had actually wanted to follow him and cling onto his golden thigh.

But alas, they were not disciples of the Demon Sect, and there was no reason for them to return to the Demon Sect together.

Hearing this, the sparkle in Lu Xiaoyu’s eyes faded a bit.

Her feet soaked in the stream, the toes of her fair and delicate foot curled slightly, but she remained silent.

Lu Xun gazed at her and opened his mouth to say, “Lu Xiaoyu, if I remember correctly, Xiao Long Bao once mentioned that I share the same name and surname as your departed elder brother?”

Lu Xiaoyu nodded, slightly puzzled by Lu Xun’s words.

“With our repeated encounters and such incredible coincidences, it seems we have quite the karmic bond. Take this wooden token. If you ever encounter any unsolvable problems in the future, bring this token to any Lai Fu Restaurant across the continent. You will find help there.” Lu Xun took a wooden token out from his storage ring and tossed it to Lu Xiaoyu.

Lu Xiaoyu caught the wooden token. On the simple token, there was only one character engraved — ‘Xun.’

This was a personal token. The token was as good as the person himself.

By the time she looked up in surprise, Lu Xun’s figure had already disappeared from the center of the stream.

Xiao Long Bao grabbed Lu Xiaoyu’s arm and shook her forcefully, shrill cries escaping her mouth, “Ah, ah, ah, ah! Xiaoyu, you definitely have the Luck trait! You’ve hit the jackpot!”

“With this token, our guild can recruit people on-demand. This is amazing! Hehe.” Xiao Long Bao was laughing so hard her smile was almost reaching her ears.

Looking at the wooden token, Lu Xiaoyu felt an inexplicable surge of warmth.

It felt as if… her brother was accompanying her in another way.

Although reason told her that he could not possibly be him.

Yet she still couldn’t help but immerse herself in the feeling.

…

…

After saying farewell to the two girls, Lu Xun went to meet up with his second senior sister and Mao Nanbei.

They were preparing to start their journey back to the Eastern Region.

“Strange, why do I feel like I’ve forgotten someone?” Lu Xun thought to himself, but he couldn’t remember it at that moment.

If the six Sword-Serving Children who had traversed thousands of miles to West State were to learn of this, they would probably faint from crying.

After meeting with his second senior sister, the paper crane flew towards the outside of West State Border.

There wasn’t just one paper crane this time, but three people riding one crane together. Because Mao Nanbei didn’t take up space, she loved to act as an ornament and was always hanging around Lu Xun.

Controlled by his second senior sister, the paper crane’s flight speed was incomparably faster than anything Lu Xun could manage, he was simply left in the dust!

Second senior sister was sitting in the front, while Lu Xun was in the back. Sometimes Mao Nanbei would sit on Lu Xun’s shoulder or hang around his neck. Occasionally, she would also put her small head on top of Lu Xun’s head, she was simply too restless.

Out of character, Gu Xiaoman took the initiative to start a conversation with Lu Xun. She said, “Little…Little Junior Brother.”

“Hmm? Second Senior Sister, please speak.” Lu Xun was still a bit unaccustomed to Gu Xiaoman addressing him so directly.

“Did Little… Little Junior Brother have… any… extraordinary experiences in West State?” Gu Xiaoman asked.

“Well, there were some, which area are you referring to, Second Senior Sister?” Lu Xun replied.

His improvements in various areas, as well as his rapid breakthrough during this period, made it genuinely hard for him to figure out which aspect Gu Xiaoman was referring to.

No choice, he’s just too strong!

“Sword…Sword Dao.” The Second Senior Sister said calmly, and then added, “There’s a…mystical aura around…you. Located…next to you, there…there’s the effect of the clear comprehension of the Sword’s Heart.”

Even though it took effort for the Second Senior Sister to speak such a long sentence, she did not rush, and did not give off any sense of urgency.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun roughly understood what the Second Senior Sister was referring to.

“She must be talking about the Sword Fate buff, right?” thought Lu Xun.

If you think about it, that would make sense. Since the Second Senior Sister is also a Sword Cultivator, being next to Lu Xun in the western and eastern regions would give her a 5% increase in the power of her Sword Dao.

She had no reason not to detect such an increase.

And for her, who was at the peak of the Eighth Stage, a 5% increase was terrifying.

If you only have 5% of your assets, it’s not much money. But for a wealthy person, 5% is a huge sum of money.

Oh, sorry, I almost forgot, some people might have negative assets.

Lu Xun did not deny this, instead he straightforwardly said, “A few days ago, Junior Brother had a breakthrough in Sword Dao, which caused a mirage in the world, and then this mysterious phenomenon occurred. As for the specific reason, Junior Brother is also clueless.”

To be honest, he still couldn’t figure out why this was happening.

Is it because I’m handsome that the Heavenly Dao favors me and only me?

emmm… If I’m handsome to this extent, it might not be impossible.

Upon hearing this, Second Senior Sister slightly nodded her head and did not say much.

In her view, this was certainly not a bad thing, but rather, it was Junior Brother’s immense fortune!

The paper crane flew quickly, and in no time, the three of them arrived at the border of the West State.

The Boundary Monument of West State stood tall here. The Second Senior Sister put away her paper crane and chose to walk.

Although she was one of the current top Sword Cultivators, she still held respect for the founding elder of Sword Mountain.

After all, the great style conveyed by the four characters, “Eternal Glory of Swordsmanship,” was already sufficient to elicit admiration.

After arriving near the boundary monument, Lu Xun quickly heard Dida’s voice: “Lu Xun! You’ve arrived!”

Her tone rises, clearly showing her happiness.

Lu Xun nodded and smiled warmly at her.

What surprised Lu Xun was that he sensed the presence of “Sword Fate” on Dida!

He couldn’t have sensed this aura before, but now that he has been “blessed with Sword Fate,” he could immediately detect the common origin under the boundary monument.

“So the ‘Sword Fate’ on me comes from here?”

Looking at the towering Boundary Monument of West State, he suddenly wondered if the Sword Mountain Elder had some other deeper meaning in placing this monument here?

After everyone arrived, the crowd in front of the boundary monument quickly made way.

A one-legged man slowly walked out from the crowd, who happened to be the “Sword Carrier” Ping Shanhai from One Sword Mountain.

Ping Shanhai walked up to the trio with the “Divine Sword” in his hand, bowed to them, and loudly said, “Thank you three for your help in West State.”

This bow was well-deserved. Not to mention anything else, just Lu Xun alone had made a great contribution to the war in West State!

Elder Brother Ping, no need for formalities.” Lu Xun helped him up.

But as soon as his hands touched Ping Shanhai, Ping Shanhai shuddered slightly, and the “Divine Sword” in his hand even let out a ringing sound!

When the “Divine Sword” cried out, it directly drew the attention of “The Sword Qi is Near”.

It was originally floating aimlessly behind, but when the “Divine Sword” let out the ringing sound, it moved its sword body and came to Lu Xun’s side, giving off a vibe of contesting with the “Divine Sword”.

The “Divine Sword” was the Sword Mountain Elder’s personal sword, formerly known as the “World’s First Sword”.

And “The Sword Qi is Near” was currently the sword of Yan Li, the world’s number one Sword Cultivator, this was equivalent to the old king meeting with the new king.

After helping Ping Shanhai up, Lu Xun looked down at his own palm, then looked at rugged-faced Ping Shanhai.

“What’s up? Why are you freaking out from just a touch, are you that sensitive?” thought Lu Xun, the corner of his mouth twitching.

Meeting Ping Shanhai’s gaze, he felt a bit uncomfortable.

Ping Shanhai was full of shock and confusion in his eyes. After a while, he was finally able to squeeze four words out of his mouth while staring at Lu Xun:

“Sword Fate of West State!”
