Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Chapter 945

You Protect True God. I’ll Protect You.

“She’s on to you,” Xiaoshuai whispered.

“Doesn’t matter,” Mu Yu responded.

“Why did Tian Ran do a double take, though? She didn’t even spare poor me a glance.”

“How do you expect her to see you when you’re so short?”

“You’re right. Give me your shoulders,” demanded Xiaoshuai, climbing onto Mu Yu’s shoulders.

“Don’t get the grease on your hands in my hair.”

“I wouldn’t do that. I know you need to keep up appearances for Tian Ran.”

Although he said that, Xiaoshuai flung a piece of chicken meat from his mouth as he spoke, forcing Mu Yu to deflect it with a formation.

Upon arriving at epicentre of the crowd, Tian Ran summoned a red lotus in her hand, then split off the leaves to transfer them into the girls’ bodies. The girls reacted surprised as one girl suddenly glowed red, face reflected off the light on her fingertips. Only nineteen girls, one of whom was Chen Xi, out of all of the girls glowed.

Yan Qingyun got out of her seat to direct, “All those who reacted to Red Lotus Technique shall stay. Everyone else is dismissed.”

Chen Xi turned around to energetically wave back at Xiaoshuai. The girl who started with Chen Xi, bitter over failing to be one of the chosen ones, pointed to Chen Xi, screeching, “Excuse me, she has a statue of Sword Shadow Dust Gale, the traitor of mankind. She has no right to join Secular World Sect!”

Chen Xi immediately clutched her statue close to her chest once she noticed the attention on her. The other girl smugly continued, “Sword Shadow Dust Gale has no place in this world after he betrayed mankind, yet she hails him as a hero. She would only bring shame to Secular World Sect!”

As the adults proceeded to blast her, Chen Xi timidly and frantically cried, “No, True God is a hero.”

“True traitor more like it,” an adult derided.

“She must be his illegitimate daughter!”

Tian Ran’s angelic entrance silenced the crowd as they awaited her judgement.

“Sister Tian Ran, wreck these fools!” Xiaoshuai raged.

Tian Ran crouched down and, in a soft voice, questioned, “Why are you holding onto Sword Shadow Dust Gale’s statue?”

“I-I believe he is a hero.”

“Yeah?” Tian Ran stood back up. “You’re not compatible with Secular World Sect. Go home.”

If every tear Chen Xi shed was another drop into Mu Yu’s chamber of bloodlust, every word Tian Ran articulated was akin to a waterfall bucketing into Mu Yu’s chamber of bloodlust. Meanwhile, Xiaoshuai lost his grip on his chicken wing. “Mu Yu, has Tian Ran lost her memories?”

“Hear that, wench? You’re not worthy!” insulted the girl with the attitude, kicking Chen Xi to the ground.

“Ah!” cried Chen Xi, dropping True God’s statue to the ground in pieces just as her heart broke moments ago.

Though Chen Xi’s arms were too short to catch True God’s statue, her guardian was strong enough to catch her fall with his spiritual energy.

“Who’s the show off?”

“Who cares? We’re going to get to watch Secular World Sect lay him on his face!”

“Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone bully you,” promised Mu Yu, giving the others the cold shoulder.

Chen Xi wailed on Mu Yu’s chest upon seeing him. “True God is a hero! True God is a hero, but they refuse to believe me! Why are they scolding me when I’m a good girl? I always help my mother and father with their work. I’m a good girl.”

“You are a good girl. They’re not scolding you because you’ve never been more right and more courageous. They’re just jealous they don’t have your courage. All they’re doing is vocalising their jealousy and bitterness,” expressed Mu Yu, giving Chen Xi gentle head pats.

“Do you believe me?”

“Even if the rest of the world doesn’t, I do and always will.” Mu Yu passed Chen Xi True God’s broken statue. “Promise me to protect this.”

Chen Xi wiped her tears and draped her arms around Mu Yu’s shoulders. “I will.”

“Let’s make a promise, okay?”

“What promise?”

“You protect True God, and I’ll protect you,” Mu Yu answered with a smile.

“Promise!”
