They All Deeply Regretted It After I Became Indifferent

chapter 5



Lin Mo’s gaze also rested on Zhu Shiyao’s sword at this time.

With his clear sword heart, he could sense the extraordinariness of the sword.

This sword not only emitted strands of sword intent, but most importantly, the sword intent seemed to possess a certain spirituality, as if it were alive.

“This sword was a gift from my master when I formed my Golden Core, named Liuli,” Zhu Shiyao said, her eyes fixed on the Liuli sword, filled with affection.

Lin Mo watched Zhu Shiyao’s gaze for a while, always feeling something was off.

This full gaze of tenderness, as if looking at a lover, what’s going on?

“Sister, are you really going to stake the Glazed Sword?” Knowing her sister’s character well, Su Su found it unbelievable.

“Since the stake has been raised, we are, after all, disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect. If we can’t match the value, it would disgrace our sect’s reputation,” Zhu Shiyao said calmly, her eyes revealing a hint of determination.

As a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect, she had the responsibility to uphold the sect’s honor and the pride of being the top disciple.

Though she spoke of the Spirit Sword Sect, Su Su knew in her heart that her sister was also protecting her own face.

Using the Glazed Sword as a stake might seem a bit much, but what kind of person was her sister? How could she lose?

After observing for a long time, Xiao Zi also cautiously reported the value of the Glazed Sword: “This sword is worth at least ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones. I can’t decide its exact value alone; it needs to be appraised together with the other managers of the ‘Treasure Pavilion’ to give an accurate quote.”

Lin Mo waved his hand: “No need for such trouble, I accept the bet!”

Even if the sword’s value was less than that of the Xuanbing Fruit, he would still agree to the wager.

This Glazed Sword, he always felt it was somewhat different from the swords he had seen before…

“My sister is staking this Glazed Sword against you, it’s practically a bargain for you!” Su Su said displeased, yet the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up.

Comparing swords with her sister, wasn’t the opponent just giving it away?

She really wanted to see, when the opponent lost, that pained, regretful expression on their face.

Then she could properly humiliate them, ‘You refused the money when offered, insisting on gifting us these Xuanbing Fruits.’ Just thinking about it was thrilling.

Besides, getting so many Xuanbing Fruits without spending a penny, her sister would surely praise her cleverness and wit.

Hehehe, then she could also take the initiative to ask for her sister’s (,,´•ω•)ノ”(´っω•`。)….

Lin Mo looked at the suddenly lovesick face and stepped back two steps with some disdain.

“What are you doing?” Su Su also noticed Lin Mo’s movement.

“My mom doesn’t let me play with fools!”

Su Su, who hadn’t caught on, asked in confusion: “Why doesn’t your mom let you play with fools?”

Lin Mo looked at Su Su with an inscrutable smile, “Guess, why doesn’t my mom let me play with fools?”

Su Su, dead serious: “That’s your mom, not mine. How would I know why your mom doesn’t let you play with fools?”

Zhu Shiyao frowned slightly, realizing her little sister was being teased, she called out softly: “Su Su, step back, let me have a match with this gentleman.”

“Yes, Sister!” Su Su obediently retreated to Xiao Zi’s side, still puzzled by the earlier question: “Miss Xiao Zi, do you know why her mom doesn’t let her play with fools?”

Xiao Zi smiled: “Perhaps this gentleman’s mother is afraid that playing with fools might make him foolish too.”

Su Su blinked: “Is that so?”

Xiao Zi did not continue.

Zhu Shiyao spoke first: “Young Master, may I have your name?”

“Lin Mo!”

“My lord, I can sense that your realm is different from mine; it wouldn’t be fair to simply compare swordsmanship, especially since you are without a sword.”

“Miss Zhu is understanding and reasonable, truly worthy of being a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect,” Lin Mo sincerely praised, his impression of Zhu Shiyao becoming quite favorable.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Shiyao slowly spoke: “How about this? We judge the win or loss based on a single round of sword intent. This way, it won’t affect the business of the Treasure Pavilion, nor will it suppress you with external factors of realm.”

Lin Mo smiled slightly: “Let’s do as Miss Zhu suggests.”

Even if she hadn’t brought it up, he would have raised these concerns.

Otherwise, facing her sword moves, even with his clear sword heart physique, his chances of winning were slim.

Once the method of competition was decided, Xiao Zi took the initiative to act as the referee.

The two exchanged glances, bowed to each other, and in the next moment, two invisible sword intents clashed instantly.

Zhu Shiyao was taken aback; she hadn’t expected this unknown lord before her to possess a sword intent that was immature, yet so piercingly clear.

Xiao Zi and Su Su, who were watching, were also incredulous.

Su Su, also a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect and a pure sword cultivator, could clearly sense that Lin Mo’s sword intent was even more formidable than hers.

Surprised as she was, she still didn’t believe her senior sister would lose.

After all, her senior sister possessed the ‘Innate Sword Embryo’ physique.

At this moment, Lin Mo was also sweating profusely; he hadn’t anticipated Zhu Shiyao’s sword intent to be so fierce, like a torrential beast, leaving him struggling to catch his breath.

If he didn’t have the clear sword heart physique, he probably would have been defeated at the first exchange.

Now, Zhu Shiyao’s face gradually showed excitement and satisfaction.

To be honest, the strong are lonely. Since her birth, due to her Innate Sword Embryo physique, hardly anyone of the same realm was her match.

And in the past few years, after achieving the eighth-grade Golden Core, she was considered invincible within her realm.

She loved the sword, loved dueling with the strong, and even more, loved dueling with sword-wielding strong opponents.

Unaffected by realm, techniques, or weapons, this pure contest of sword intent was what she loved most.

“You’re really great, truly amazing!” The excitement and frenzy in Zhu Shiyao’s eyes intensified.

Although his sword intent seemed unrefined, she was able to defend against all her attacks, a feeling that was simply wonderful.

“Satisfy me, satisfy me more!”

Hey, hey, hey, miss, has someone possessed you?

What kind of fierce words are those?

Where did your polite demeanor go, and why do you now seem like a sickly sweet girl?

Lin Mo felt a sense of embarrassment in his heart!

Xiao Zi was also stunned, glancing at Su Su: “Miss Su Su, what’s with your senior sister?”

Su Su didn’t mind: “My senior sister gets like this when she meets an opponent she admires, she becomes quite excited.”

Xiao Zi looked embarrassed, “I see that now…”

“What’s wrong, why are you so weak now?” Realizing that her opponent was gradually unable to parry her attacks, Zhu Shiyao showed a look of disappointment: “It seems you can only hold on up to here.”

Oh girl, it’s not that I can’t do it, it’s just that your demands are too great!

How can a normal person withstand such a fierce sword intent attack?

Lin Mo complained inwardly, but he hated it most when others said he couldn’t do it.

[Reminder to the host: You can spend regret points to temper your sword intent, one hundred regret points are equivalent to one year.]

[Another reminder: Once the sword intent is released, it will be consumed.]

‘Damn, why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?’

[The host didn’t ask!]

Lin Mo was speechless against this foolish system.

‘Use all the regret points to temper the sword intent.’

Since the other party has a need, then he shall be a gentleman who does a good deed, ‘using the sword intent’ to feed her thoroughly!

[Ding, 1120 regret points consumed, you have gained eleven years of sword intent.]
