She secretly made up her mind to catch Pan Tanruo and ask her why she took her affairs as talk. If she knew that the other party had malicious intentions but still sold her preferences, then Ruan Ci had already killed nine people, and she didn't care about killing one more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop mentioning it.\" She pulled Qu Tanyue to sit on the mountain peak, told him about the friction that happened in the past few days, hid the privacy related to True Person Wang, and said angrily, \"You say this is hateful. If you want to deal with me, it's better to come to the door and challenge me directly. Playing these ghost tricks behind my back, if it weren't for Senior Brother Li, this sect of the Jinbo Sect would really have no good people in my heart. Either they have no brains, or they have no courage. Now they don't even have the guts, which really makes people look down on them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Tanyue was amused and made a gesture to pinch Ruan Ci’s nose, but she dodged it. He smiled, \"My lady, don't blame your husband for putting on a husband’s airs. Some things can be done but not said. You hate this sect. In the future, when you have the ability, you will kill everyone in this sect and cut off their Dao lineage. That is also your ability. But before everything comes true, why sit next to their mountain gate and say these things?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci encountered danger in the Treasure Cloud Sea, and True Person Wang could appear beside her in the blink of an eye. One could see how vast the sensing of a Cave Heaven True Person could be. Qu Tanyue didn't come here in his true body; it was still an incarnation at the Foundation Establishment stage. Ruan Ci sat by the mountain gate and scolded the Jinbo Sect like this, clearly scolding it for the Great Elder of the Jinbo Sect to hear. She had True Person Wang’s protection and would be fine, but Qu Tanyue was very smooth and didn't follow suit, but instead persuaded Ruan Ci. Ruan Ci held her chin and pointed at him a few times, deliberately sitting away to show her dissatisfaction with Qu Tanyue’s stance. Qu Tanyue smiled, and Ruan Ci moved away a little, and he followed and sat closer, but he didn't touch her, but bent down to check Ruan Ci’s complexion, \"Angry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci said, \"Hmph, how do you know I won't destroy the Jinbo Sect’s Dao lineage in the future? I'm angry, I don't want to talk to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Tanyue was very aggrieved and defended himself, \"If there is such a day in the future, I will naturally help you, but what is wrong with being cautious before doing it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of Ruan Ci, he never had any airs and coaxed Ruan Ci with good words for a while. Ruan Ci then dissipated her anger slightly, but still had some small temper. She hugged her knees and said in a deep voice, \"Unless you do one thing for me, I won't be angry, otherwise I will divorce my husband, and the betrothal gift will be returned to you, I don't want it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she said, she untied the Linghua Jade Bi from her neck and wanted to return it to Qu Tanyue. Qu Tanyue hurriedly said, \"If you want me to help you, I am naturally willing, so why do you need to do this? Alas, why are you more willful as you grow up? In the future, when you grow to the appearance of nineteen or twenty, how can I serve you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci didn't want Qu Tanyue to come over when she went down the mountain this time. He had just been expelled from the Shangqing Sect not long ago. I am afraid that if he came over this time, True Person Wang would be unhappy and would lose an incarnation here. But after talking to True Person Wang in the boat for the last few days, she knew that her master had tacitly approved of her plan. It might not be appropriate for Lu Huangning to come forward for this matter. According to True Person Wang’s meaning, she should come to find Qu Tanyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Qu Tanyue had half-agreed to her, Ruan Ci turned anger into joy and smiled, \"Okay, I want you to find someone for me, and then kill him. Husband, this is the first time I have asked you, so you agreed to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Tanyue looked at her for a moment and became cautious, not agreeing immediately, but tentatively asked, \"Who do you want to kill—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci said, \"You have already heard me tell the story. Those people wanted to calculate me, everyone had a share. Junior Brother Chen took action, that Jin Dan cultivator planned, and some disciples stood by and clapped their hands. I killed all these people. How can I let go of the mastermind behind the scenes? Just because I am still at Foundation Establishment, and Master didn't give me a Nascent Soul attendant, I have to pretend to be deaf and dumb to the end?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When an upper-realm cultivator moves a thought behind the scenes, there are naturally lower-realm cultivators running around. Even if the matter fails, I can at most kill the people who came out to do things. He can still sit behind the scenes and set up another chess game? It sounds so high and mighty, but I don't feel that a Nascent Soul cultivator is something that cannot be killed. Since this person deals with me, then I must kill him. —Husband, you have always had many ears and eyes and well-informed news. Senior Brother Li has low cultivation, and his teachers are not in the sect. It is not suitable for him to come forward to inquire about news. You let Xiunu and Linu produce some small insects to find this person for me, and kill him by the way. In the future, when I enter Nascent Soul, I will return you twice. You say, is it good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci thought for a while and compared a \"three\" again, \"Forget it, it's several hundred years, the interest should be calculated more. After I enter Nascent Soul, I will take action for you three times. But the person you want to kill cannot be someone I like. If I like him, I won't kill him. If killing him is harmful to me, then it doesn't count.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she and Qu Tanyue met, Qu Tanyue had always been in control and calm. Even in the new house in South Zhuzhou, before she introduced sword energy into him, he was also assessing the situation and had never lost his calm for a moment. But at this time, he couldn't speak, looked at Ruan Ci silently, and after a long time, he said, \"My lady... it's just a Mao Sect Nascent Soul, I didn't take it in my eyes, but have you thought about it? If this Nascent Soul is still not the mastermind, but is doing things for others, and the person behind it is the Great Elder of the Jinbo Sect—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci said without hesitation, \"It's just a Cave Heaven True Person, can't he be killed? If so, I will naturally return to the mountain and ask Master to make the decision for me. My master also has senior brothers and teachers, all of whom are Cave Heaven True Persons. The backing of the Jinbo Sect is only True Person Xu and True Person Li. Only need the Sect Master True Person and Chu Grandmaster to hold these two True Persons, my master can naturally destroy the Jinbo Sect in an instant and plunder all the Cave Heaven aura of that Great Elder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as her words were issued, the weather seemed to have a response. A low and unhappy meaning came from the direction of the Jinbo Sect, but it was repelled by the vast magic power from the direction of the Shangqing Sect behind Ruan Ci in an instant. The magic power of the two great cultivators touched and withdrew, but the aftermath stirred up a thick black storm in the air. The strong wind blew, almost breaking the grass and trees around. However, the aftermath of this level was not counted as anything to Ruan Ci and Qu Tanyue. The two were protected by an invisible barrier, and under the starlight, they looked at the majestic scene of the mountains and rivers fluctuating and surging due to the thoughts of the Cave Heaven cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Tanyue’s face was smiling but not smiling, crying but not crying, as if there were many things to ask, but he thought of the answer before asking. Finally, he just sighed for a long time, \"I said, for twenty years, the Xuanpo Sect’s forces couldn't even get close to the Yiyun Ferry. How did I come so easily today? It turns out that you master and apprentice had already thought about it. Xiunu and Linu had a full meal at Biyuan Mountain, but I have to pay the bill in the end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci smiled, \"Isn't it because you are suspicious? You also know that you can come here, naturally it is Master’s tacit approval. Do you think I would really do things against Master’s wishes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that her every word and deed always had to be restricted by others, she couldn't help but sigh with melancholy, and then asked, \"Hey, say something, help me or not? If you don't help me, I will naturally look for someone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Tanyue asked sensitively, \"Besides me, who else have you met with ability?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci blinked and smiled, \"I don't know, but my sister? My sister is the Donghua Sword Envoy and the Sect Master’s high disciple. There are countless Nascent Souls under the sect. My master is not willing to spoil my temper, but my sister spoils me the most. Others will agree to her for the sake of the Sword Envoy—even you, husband, didn't you snatch me to be your wife because of the Sword Envoy at that time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted her nose, made a face at Qu Tanyue, and ridiculed him, \"It was fast when you married, but slow when you wanted to vent your anger for me. You great cultivators are all the same. You put your hands in when there are benefits, but when you need to exert effort, you slip away faster than anyone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of this, she suddenly felt listless, threw the jade bi on the ground, got up and said, \"If you agree, you agree. If you don't agree, forget it. Just treat it as if you and I have never known each other. Everything you gave me, I will return to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she was in South Zhuzhou, Qu Tanyue disguised his identity and slipped into Junping Mansion to see her. Ruan Ci could still pretend to be a snake. Now that her cultivation was higher, her face turned faster and faster, and her temper really grew. Qu Tanyue saw her expression fade, her jade face was indifferent, and her eyes, which usually seemed to contain a smile, did not contain any emotion in an instant. He hurriedly got up and said, \"Who said I didn't agree—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci said coldly, \"You have delayed for so long, nothing more than calculating cause and effect, weighing pros and cons, or being insufficient in strength, thinking that you cannot complete your wish for me. You just choose a reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had already reached out to take the Qiankun bag, and seeing that she was about to return all the magic tools Qu Tanyue gave her, and the two would break up, Qu Tanyue didn't dare to ask any more. In a hurry, he hugged her in his arms and said repeatedly, \"I agree, I agree, can you stop being angry? Your temper is so urgent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci struggled a few times, but didn't use ten percent of her strength. With her current strength, Qu Tanyue’s incarnation probably couldn't control her in brute force. She rested her forehead on Qu Tanyue’s shoulder and pushed Qu Tanyue lightly, \"You are unwilling, and it is boring in the end. It also makes me lose face in front of Master. Last time at Biyuan Mountain, he said that I was looking outward. I also find it strange, why do I say so much to you? Knowing that you have no conscience!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She already had tears, as if she was really hurt by Qu Tanyue. You must know that this young girl’s heart is the most sensitive. There were naturally people around Ruan Ci who held opposing views on Qu Tanyue, but Ruan Ci was still intimate with him. This was the embodiment of affection. Now that she had something to ask for, Qu Tanyue’s performance disappointed her. How could she not be sad?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Qu Tanyue hurriedly swore, \"Within ten years, if that person doesn't die, he will live one more year. I will slap myself next time I see you, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci then changed to a smile and said reluctantly, \"That's about it—but you should also be careful. If that person is very powerful...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, seeing Qu Tanyue’s expectant face, and chuckled, \"Then you find a few helpers. In short, this person is handed over to you. The first evil is the most hateful. Since I have killed the others, there is no reason to let him go. Bullying the soft and fearing the hard is not a hero.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her crooked reasoning almost made Qu Tanyue angry, but he couldn't say much. Fortunately, Ruan Ci didn't just pinch him. Seeing Qu Tanyue agree, she bumped his shoulder and smiled, \"Hey, you saw the movement on the Treasure Cloud Sea twenty years ago, right? Did the Xuanpo Sect disciples die in Hengze Heaven? Let’s fly further, so that no one here can hear. I will tell you everything about Hengze Heaven.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cultivation world, the most precious thing is knowledge. It is true that the Envoy appeared, and such a big thing, the Xuanpo Sect must know roughly, but as for the details, how can it be as detailed as the sect whose disciples really escaped? And all sects will never have anyone who knows more than Ruan Ci. Qu Tanyue’s smile became more solid, and he looked up and was about to speak, but bumped into Ruan Ci’s understanding eyes, and felt a bit embarrassed—the so-called husband and wife fate between the two was initially as thin as paper. Young Master Yue threaded the needle one time after another to strengthen the fate, but today he didn't agree very refreshingly, forcing Ruan Ci to point out many things, and the two were finally a bit estranged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci looked at his eyes, clear and pure, as if seeing through everything, but she didn't care. Seeing Qu Tanyue embarrassed, she comforted him instead, \"It doesn't matter, husband. Although you don't like me in your heart, I don't know why, I know clearly, but I still can't let go of you, and I still have a trace of liking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sighed, with a touch of melancholy, \"I always thought Senior Sister Meng was stupid. Now I know that not everything can be under control. Even my own heart cannot be completely controlled by myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Tanyue looked at her carefully and couldn't see any flaws. Even in his heart, he knew that Ruan Ci was by no means as innocent and romantic as she looked, but his heart still moved, and he thought, \"Yes, that’s why she is so unscrupulous. It turns out that in her heart, the most precious thing is herself. Whoever makes her unhappy, she will make that person taste the pain a hundred times. If anyone makes her happy, I think she will also repay it a hundred times. Alas, such a temper is to my taste, but it is a pity that she carries the Donghua Sword. Being so extreme and domineering, how can she make the Cave Heaven experts feel at ease? It’s okay for now, and there are no other sword seeds born, otherwise, if such a thing happens again today, even the Shangqing Sect will be very difficult to protect her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held Ruan Ci’s hand, looked at the girl’s beautiful face, and thought of her childhood family changes, life and death, and walking to the present. It was really as she said, everyone around her, who was not dealing with her for the sake of the Donghua Sword. She seemed to be able to call the wind and rain, but she was actually very lonely and hesitant. Compassion also surged in his heart, and he said softly, \"No, there will be me in the future. I really cherish you in my heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci smiled slightly again, clearly not believing it completely, got up and said, \"I'm leaving, husband. Don't forget the two things I entrusted to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned and flew down the cloud head, her figure quickly submerged into the blue sky, and a little escape light shuttled fast, looking very lonely in this vast world. Qu Tanyue stared at her back for a long time, until Ruan Ci fell into the Jinbo Sect mountain gate, and then he looked at a certain place in the air, his figure collapsed suddenly, turned into hundreds of millions of small insects, and instantly merged into the air, disappearing without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousands or tens of thousands of miles away, in a cave dwelling, a green-clad cultivator opened his eyes, his slender jade fingers shook the silver bell, summoned the servants, and asked, \"Is Father in the mansion? I have something to ask for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was tall, jade-like in appearance, his voice like a cold spring, and there was a strange charm that made people’s hearts shake when he spoke. The servants didn't dare to look directly and lowered their heads and replied, \"The Great Elder’s incarnation has not returned long after returning from the North Nether Continent secret realm. At this moment, he is checking the treasure house with the Sixty-Seventh Young Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Yue smiled slightly, \"Just right, I am also going to the treasure house to take a few things—have you watched that Life and Death Vine well? Has it not been taken away by my brothers and sisters?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up, thought of another thing, and frowned, \"Yes, how have my wives been recently...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Question: Two drama queens, who is better at acting??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still a draft box! \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci smiled and said, \"I am precious? My lord, do not say such things. I know myself; in this world, no one has ever regarded me as infinitely precious. You all have the hopes of the masses tied to you, and at the very least, you have the love of your parents. As for me, I only have myself to cherish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she finished speaking, she seemed to realize she had spoken out of turn, bit her lip, and said no more. A stir went through Qu Tanyue’s heart, and he thought to himself, \"So that is it. That is why she is so uninhibited. In her heart, the person most worthy of being cherished is herself. Whoever makes her unhappy, she will make that person taste a hundredfold the bitterness of suffering. If someone brings her joy, I imagine she will repay them a hundredfold as well. Sigh, such a temperament is actually to my liking. It is a pity she carries the Donghua Sword. To be so extreme and overbearing, how can she put the various grotto-heavens at ease? It is fine for now, as there are no other sword seeds manifesting yet, but if things like today happen a few more times, even the Shangqing Sect will likely find it difficult to protect her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took Ruan Ci’s hand, gazed at the young girl’s clear and beautiful face, and thought of how she had encountered family tragedy in her youth and walked through life and death to reach this point. It was truly as she said; of all the people around her, who was not associating with her for the sake of the Donghua Sword? She appeared to be able to command the wind and rain, but in reality, she did not know how lonely and hesitant she was. Pity welled up in his heart, and he said softly, \"That will not happen. From now on, you have me. I truly cherish you in my heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci gave a faint smile again, clearly not fully believing him, and stood up, saying, \"I must go now, my lord. Do not forget the two things I entrusted to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned and flew down from the clouds, her figure quickly vanishing into the blue sky. A tiny streak of escape light darted away, appearing very lonely in this vast world. Qu Tanyue gazed at her retreating back for a long time until Ruan Ci landed within the mountain gate of the Jin Bo Sect. Only then did he glance at a certain spot in the air, his form suddenly collapsing into hundreds of millions of tiny insects, which instantly merged into the air and disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several tens of thousands of miles away, in a certain grotto-dwelling, a cultivator in green robes opened his eyes. With slender, jade-like fingers, he lightly shook a silver bell to summon his attendants and asked, \"Is Father in the residence? I have a matter I wish to discuss with him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was tall and graceful, his appearance like jade, and his voice was like a cold spring. As he spoke, there seemed to be a strange charm that could shake one’s heart and soul. The attendants dared not look him directly in the eye and lowered their heads to reply, \"The Eldest Master’s avatar only just returned from the secret realm in the North Underworld Continent not long ago. Right now, he is checking the treasury with the Sixty-Seventh Young Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Yue smiled slightly, \"Perfect, I also need to go to the treasury to retrieve a few items—you have kept a close watch on that Life-Death Vine, have you not? It hasn't been taken by any of my brothers or sisters, has it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up, then thought of another matter and frowned, \"That’s right, how have my wives been lately...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Question: Two drama queens, who is better at acting??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still from the storage box!\u003C\u002Fp>",3841,"2026-06-17T08:48:53.797Z","2026-06-18T03:10:38.119Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a69fc09f40f712f45643ddff1f6b3615ebdda56d98ec00cf024a165f0390afc3","borrowing-the-sword-chapter-116","borrowing-the-sword-chapter-114",286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborrowing-the-sword-cover.jpg"]
