I Have A Sword

Chapter 332: Not Interested!

The Adjudication Sword Master's gaze turned cold. She clenched her right fist as a surge of killing intent filled her eyes. However, she also felt a sense of helplessness and bitterness. If they were outside, anyone daring enough to look at her with that kind of gaze would have already died.

However, she couldn't do anything about it right now.

The Adjudication Sword Master glanced at Ye Guan and cursed inwardly. It's all this bastard's fault!

Ye Guan stared at the three without saying a word, but he was wary of them. He was a man, so he knew what these men were thinking.

The man with a scar on the left side of his face chuckled.

"Their cultivation bases are sealed well!" He pointed out. The man would have had reservations if they weren't here. However, everyone was under some kind of a seal here, so the dark side of human nature could easily be seen.

The scarred man grinned maliciously as he swept his gaze across the Adjudication Sword Master's figure.

Bang!

Ye Guan kicked the bonfire, sending dozens of embers toward the three men.

Caught off guard, the three men's faces changed dramatically, and they hastily raised their arms to protect themselves.

Ye Guan snatched a flaming stick out of mid-air and rushed toward the three men. A fight was inevitable, so he had to strike first; otherwise, he would end up at a disadvantage against these three men.

The scarred man and his companions were surprised by Ye Guan's outburst. The latter had appeared calm and composed, so who could have known that he would attack decisively and with such ferocity?

Ye Guan's flaming stick struck the scarred man's head.

Thwack!

The scarred man let out a howl of pain. Blood started streaming down his head, and the impact sent him staggering. However, Ye Guan wasn't quite done just yet. He sent a sweep kick toward the black-robed man, but the latter dodged the attack.

However, the third man of the group ended up getting hit in the head by Ye Guan's kick. He cried out in pain and staggered backward to retreat.

Just then, the black-robed man charged forward, delivering a kick toward Ye Guan's head. Ye Guan didn't retreat in the face of the kick. He rushed forward and swung his stick toward the black-robed man's face.

The black-robed man's expression changed slightly, and he crossed his arms in front of him.

Bang!

Ye Guan and the black-robed man staggered backward. The other two men saw that and rushed toward Ye Guan with eyes full of killing intent.

Ye Guan crouched briefly to take two handfuls of ashes. He tossed them toward the two men, creating a cloud of ash. The two men jumped to the side and retreated, but Ye Guan chased after them and gave them two servings of the stick

The two men staggered backward and grimaced in pain.

Ye Guan's brows furrowed, and he whipped around to see a blurry figure running toward him.

Ye Guan swung his stick toward the black-robed man, but the black-robed man suddenly pulled out a dagger. Before Ye Guan could react, he thrust the dagger into Ye Guan's right shoulder. However, Ye Guan was undeterred. Instead of retreating, he took a step forward and brought his head back before smashing his head forcefully into the black-robed man's face.

Crack!

A grotesque noise echoed, and the black-robed man was left dizzy and disoriented by Ye Guan's unexpected attack. Ye Guan pulled out the dagger from his right shoulder and slashed out.

Shwik!

The black-robed man's throat was slit open, and blood sprayed wantonly into the air.

The two remaining men charged at Ye Guan at the same time.

Ye Guan ignored the intense pain and met the two remaining men halfway. It didn't take long for a fierce battle to erupt between them. Although injured, Ye Guan didn't dare to retreat; he knew that the winner of this fight was the most ruthless one.

Ye Guan rushed at one of the men after sending the other man staggering backward.

Ye Guan raised the dagger in his hand and swung downward. A miserable shriek filled the air, and blood spattered onto the floor. A severed arm fell to the ground with a dull thud, but Ye Guan wasn't done yet. He moved even closer to the man and slashed out.

Squelch!

Blood poured out like a waterfall from the man's slit throat.

Ye Guan whipped around and cornered the last remaining man until the dagger in his hand found its way into the last remaining man's bowels. The man's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground with a dull thud!

Ye Guan slumped to the ground.

Blood flowed incessantly from his right shoulder. He had won, but he was heavily wounded as a result. His injuries from his fight against the Adjudication Sword Master had yet to completely heal, so this fight had exacerbated those wounds.

Just then, Ye Guan recalled something. He sat up and casually bandaged his right shoulder. He turned and looked at the Adjudication Sword Master sitting beside him.

The Adjudication Sword Master was also looking at him.

A tiny broken piece of wood was in her delicate hand.

Ye Guan sounded solemn as he said, "I'm sure this temple is the only temple hundreds of kilometers around us. It's not strange for people to come here because it sticks out like a sore thumb.

"And you're extremely beautiful, so you're also going to stick out like a sore thumb. I am sure that most men will harbor malicious thoughts toward you once they see you, so we have to leave. It's going to be troublesome if we stay here.

The Adjudication Sword Master nodded quietly.

Ye Guan asked, "Can you walk by yourself?"

The Adjudication Sword Master remained quiet.

Ye Guan was at a loss for words, but he didn't dare to delay as he walked briskly toward the Adjudication Sword Master. He picked her up and headed outside.

This time, the Adjudication Sword Master didn't resist his touch.

It was pitch black outside the temple, but Ye Guan didn't have the luxury to consider visibility. He left the temple in a hurry while carrying the Adjudication Sword Master away. Not long after they left, he noticed many people rushing toward the temple.

Ye Guan felt relieved that they had left the temple; otherwise, they would have gotten caught up in a fierce battle.

Ye Guan looked away and carried the Adjudication Sword Master somewhere far away despite the darkness.

After about half an hour, Ye Guan found an inconspicuous cave. He placed the Adjudication Sword Master down and created a bonfire. The flames rose and soon vanquished the coldness and dampness inside the cave.

Leaning against the cave wall, Ye Guan slumped down. He was utterly exhausted, but he couldn't afford to sleep. Apart from the dangers outside, he was still wary of the Adjudication Sword Master not too far away from him, so he didn't dare to relax.

The Adjudication Sword Master made a sidelong glance at the wary Ye Guan, but she didn't say anything. After a while, Ye Guan couldn't hold on any longer and succumbed to the temptations of sleep.

The Adjudication Sword Master stared quietly at the bonfire in front of her.

Just then, she heard faint footsteps echo within the cave. The Adjudication Sword Master turned around and was just about to curse, but she immediately swallowed her words after realizing something.

She leaned against the wall and fell into deep contemplation as she glanced at Ye Guan not too far away from her. Eventually, silence reigned supreme in the cave as her eyes closed slowly.

Time passed, and Ye Guan suddenly opened his eyes.

He sat up abruptly and turned toward the cave entrance to find that it was dawn.

Ye Guan turned to look at the Adjudication Sword Master.

The Adjudication Sword Master's eyes were closed, and her breathing was even. Her hair was somewhat disheveled along with her visage, but one could still see from her delicate and flawless features that she was an extraordinary beauty.

The soft glow of the fire illuminated her slightly flushed cheeks, and the contrast between her flawless beauty as well as her bedraggled appearance made her exude a breathtaking charm.

Just then, the Adjudication Sword Master suddenly opened her eyes.

"What are you looking at?" she snapped, and her visage quickly grew cold.

Ye Guan withdrew his gaze and changed the subject. "Let's go outside"

The Adjudication Sword Master looked at Ye Guan without saying anything. Ye Guan walked up to her and carried her in his arms. As they exited the cave, a refreshing breeze swept past them.

The Adjudication Sword Master suddenly said, "Go to the right!"

Ye Guan asked, "Why?"

The Adjudication Sword Master didn't answer.

Ye Guan didn't think much of it and continued to hold her in his arms.

A faint fragrance soon enveloped him, and the softness of the Adjudication Sword Master's body made Ye Guan feel self-conscious. Intrusive, lustful thoughts filled Ye Guan's mind, but he quickly dispelled them.

Ye Guan walked to the right. After an hour, they found themselves inside a bamboo forest. Eventually, Ye Guan stumbled upon a bamboo hut with a pool of clear and fresh water in its front yard.

The Adjudication Sword Master's gaze fell on the pool, and she seemed lost in thought as she stared at the pool.

Ye Guan suddenly asked, "How did you know that there's a bamboo hut here?"

The Adjudication Sword Master didn't answer the question. Instead, she pointed at the pool. Ye Guan nodded, and he walked to the edge of the pool with the Adjudication Sword Master on his back.

Ye Guan placed her down on the edge of the pool, and the Adjudication Sword Master stared at him deeply but without saying anything.

Troubled, Ye Guan asked, "If you need something, just say it."

The Adjudication Sword Master said, "I want to take a bath."

Ye Guan was stunned.

The Adjudication Sword Master said, "Stand guard for me."

Ye Guan nodded. "Alright."

With that, he turned around and walked away.

The Adjudication Sword Master called out, "Wait!"

Ye Guan turned to look at the Adjudication Sword Master. The latter's gaze was fierce and as sharp as swords as she warned, "I'm going to kill you if you dare peek at me!"

"Don't worry," Ye Guan calmly replied, "I'm not interested in you."

"Get lost!" the Adjudication Sword Master roared.

Ye Guan finally left.

The Adjudication Sword Master started removing her clothes, and she submerged herself in the pool. She floated on her back, and her hair swayed gently in the water as she closed her eyes.

She started thinking about many things, but she suddenly clenched her hands tightly with her face flushed red in fury.

After some time, the Adjudication Sword Master emerged from the pool. She put on her clothes and frowned upon seeing Ye Guan's blue shirt. After a moment of silence, she ended up picking up Ye Guan's shirt and wrapped it around her chest.

Ye Guan walked over to her with a few wild chickens in his hands.

He smiled at her and asked, "How was it?"

The Adjudication Sword Master didn't answer Ye Guan's question.

Ye Guan didn't mind it. He crouched and made a fire before roasting one of the wild chickens in his hands. They were mortals without their cultivation bases, so Ye Guan was starting to get hungry after a long while.

The Adjudication Sword Master sat across from him, and she stared at him quietly as the latter very gingerly roasted a chicken.

"I visited the temple, and a fight had indeed broken out," Ye Guan said.

However, the Adjudication Sword Master remained silent. Soon, the chicken was cooked, and Ye Guan divided it into two—one for him and one for the Adjudication Sword Master.

The Adjudication Sword Master accepted it without hesitation and began eating.

Ye Guan examined the Adjudication Sword Master. She was clean, but her hair was damp, and there were water droplets on her face. Regardless, she looked as stunning as always.

The Adjudication Sword Master suddenly looked up at Ye Guan, and the latter quickly looked away. He didn't want her to start cursing him once again.

The Adjudication Sword Master said, "The Eternal Sovereign is about to break the seal."

Ye Guan furrowed his brows and asked, "Break the seal?"

The Adjudication Sword Master explained, "The seal has loosened. The Eternal Sovereign is probably going to break it soon and reappear in the world."

Ye Guan asked, "Can you defeat the Eternal Sovereign?"

The Adjudication Sword Master was quiet. Ye Guan stared at her for a few moments, but he decided not to press on.

The Adjudication Sword Master turned toward the horizon and said, "Now, we just have to wait. Once he breaks the seal here, our cultivation bases will be restored."

Ye Guan nodded and frowned while staring at the distant horizon.

The Eternal Sovereign is about to break his seal, yet another supreme elite is about to appear. Why is the world so chaotic? Why couldn't my father resolve all these issues before handing over the helm to me? Ye Guan shook his head and smiled upon realizing that he had gotten a bit too optimistic.

The Adjudication Sword Master suddenly exclaimed, "Give me more food!"

Ye Guan was taken aback. His gaze landed on the Adjudication Sword Master's hand and discovered that the chicken in her hand earlier was nowhere to be found.

How is she eating so fast? Ye Guan was taken aback.

The Adjudication Sword Master glared at him and asked, "What's up with that look?"

Ye Guan ended up handing over the chicken in his hand, but the Adjudication Sword Master accepted it without any reservations and immediately started eating it.

It seemed that she was truly hungry.

Ye Guan casually asked, "How are your injuries?"

For some reason, the Adjudication Sword Master became furious upon hearing that question. She threw the chicken in her hand toward Ye Guan and snapped, "Why do you care? Huh?!"

Ye Guan had no idea what to say.
