Chapter 19: The Changes Brought to Ye Xuan by the Sword Heart, Deeper-Level Binding

Ye Xuan's fusion of the Wangquan Baye template only fused all of Wangquan Baye's talents and the abilities he possessed in his youth; it did not fuse Wangquan Baye's memories, personality, or emotions.

Then why was he so confident?

Because of the Sword Heart!

What is a Sword Heart? It is a heart of exploration that moves forward without fear of difficulties, and a heart of self-confidence!

If a person who practices the sword is not confident in themselves, then what sword are they practicing?

Even if Ye Xuan had obtained the System before having a Sword Heart, before experiencing all sorts of things, he wouldn't have had much difference in thought from an ordinary person.

But after possessing the Sword Heart, all emotions such as cowardice, fear, and confusion were completely extracted from him, replaced by confidence, firmness, courage, and calmness.

Such a change couldn't be said to be good or bad, but if the original Ye Xuan had known that the "Sword Heart" had such an effect, he still would have fused with it without hesitation.

Because apart from a very small number of people, no one wants to be a person prone to cowardice, fear, and confusion.

Ye Xuan was no exception.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

School was already in session, and the students in Ye Xuan's class also saw his empty seat.

Not just him, but the seats of Zhang Yu and Chen Hao were also empty.

It was very clear that they had all been recruited by the Heavenly Pivot Bureau, and if nothing unexpected happened, they wouldn't be coming to school in the future.

Many classmates had complex expressions; perhaps yesterday was the last time they would see Ye Xuan, Chen Hao, and Zhang Yu.

Ye Xuan didn't know the scene that happened in school, nor did he know that Chen Hao and Zhang Yu hadn't gone to school just like him, but even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared, because that meant all his guesses from yesterday were correct.

Chen Hao and Zhang Yu's superpower potential wasn't bad, and as his best friends, they would naturally be recruited by the Heavenly Pivot Bureau, as he was the second holder of a template from the Myriad Realms of the Cosmos in all of Great Xia, and even the world.

Even his parents would be "specially" treated by the Heavenly Pivot Bureau because of this relationship with him.

It wasn't just the so-called benefits of the Heavenly Pivot Bureau, but a deeper level of binding.

Even if Ye Xuan was somewhat indifferent in his emotions toward his parents, with this layer of relationship, if they needed it, he would also lend a helping hand.

He wasn't Nezha; he had enjoyed the love between his parents in his childhood. Although he lost this love as he grew up due to their discord, the happiness of the past could not be erased.

Ye Xuan didn't care about these things; he didn't have time to care about them now because there was already a group of people in black suits at his door.

After asking him questions, they started helping him pack his luggage and then loaded it into the car.

Ye Xuan knew this was the arrangement for his housing that Su Mengyao had mentioned yesterday, but he hadn't expected it to come so quickly.

It's just that...

"Wouldn't it be fine to wear normal clothes? Why wear suits?"

"You guys aren't bodyguards."

Ye Xuan's mouth twitched slightly. He could clearly perceive the gazes of the neighbors around him looking at him; it was just like looking at the sons of those big shots in TV dramas.

If it weren't for these people stopping them from filming, he would probably already be the protagonist in someone's short video. However, perhaps it was also because they stopped the surrounding neighbors from filming that they thought even more that he was the son of some big shot.

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat helpless in his heart.

He always felt that this "Heavenly Pivot Bureau" was somewhat different from those normal official departments in his memory.

Was it because the people inside were all superpowered individuals, and most of them were relatively young, and they hadn't considered going into politics at all before awakening their superpowers?

After they packed Ye Xuan's luggage, Ye Xuan also sat in their car. The car started slowly, first driving through a normal city road, and then driving toward a relatively remote small path.

It was called a small path, but the road was actually no different; it was just that there were no people.

But this was understandable; after all, Ye Xuan was a holder of a treasure from the Myriad Realms of the Cosmos, so the housing arranged for him by the "Heavenly Pivot Bureau" would naturally be further away from places with many people.

If he had joined the "Heavenly Pivot Bureau," housing might have been arranged near the "Heavenly Pivot Bureau," where superpowered individuals could be concentrated in one area, and problems could be solved in time if they arose.

But Ye Xuan was only cooperating with them, so the housing arranged would naturally be further away.

With great strength but no one to supervise him, if he accidentally injured people around him when his strength broke through or during cultivation, the impact would be too great.

Moreover, Ye Xuan indeed needed a more spacious venue when practicing sword arts; although the original house was good, the space was still a bit small.

As the vehicle got closer and closer to the destination, a wide villa complex gradually appeared before Ye Xuan's eyes; unlike the purely residential area he had imagined, this was clearly a well-planned high-end villa area.

The outer perimeter was a low iron fence, and inside the wall were rows of green plants, which ensured privacy without appearing too oppressive.

The roads were wide and flat, with neatly trimmed lawns and trees on both sides, and occasionally one could see a few cherry blossom trees in full bloom, appearing exceptionally elegant.

The architectural style of the villas was mainly modern and minimalist, with white exterior walls paired with large floor-to-ceiling windows, bright and transparent.

Each villa maintained a large distance from the others, with spacious green belts in between. Some villas even had small gardens or private garages in front. The entire area was quiet and tidy, with almost no figures to be seen.

"Mr. Ye, this is your residence."

"If you need any supplies, you can contact Ms. Su at any time, and we will purchase them and send them to you that same day."

The driver parked the car in front of a two-story villa, his tone carrying a bit of respect.

He knew who lived in this villa area. Everyone who lived here before was either rich or noble, but after the Qi recovery, this place was directly acquired by the official authorities and specifically arranged for superpowered individuals and holders of treasures from the Myriad Realms of the Cosmos valued by the Heavenly Pivot Bureau to live in.

And it had to be someone the Heavenly Pivot Bureau believed had extremely high talent and potential.

It wasn't that no one had been sent here before, but this time it was Su Mengyao who personally arranged it, and even small matters like purchasing supplies had to be personally contacted with the other party.

It was very clear that this Mr. Ye had a very high position in the hearts of Su Mengyao and even the entire Heavenly Pivot Bureau.

He naturally dared not be disrespectful.

After Ye Xuan got out of the car, he looked up at the villa in front of him.

In front of the villa door was a carefully tended small garden, planted with a few neatly trimmed shrubs and many blooming flowers, with colors matched just right. On the side was a spacious parking space, enough to park two or three cars, with the ground paved with flat stone bricks.

Behind it was an open lawn, the grass neatly trimmed and lush with green.
