Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"I'm actually on a battlefield, then that means...."

Jing Liu flicked the blood off the Cloud Knight longsword in her hand, then turned to look into the Cloud Knight formation.

She then swept her gaze over them, sensing the auras of Jing Yuan and Xuan Ge.

"They're actually not here, could they be on General Teng Xiao's battlefield?"

She couldn't quite tell what phase things were currently at.

In the distance, she could feel the Vidyadhara Preceptor's authority surging; that was likely General Teng Xiao madly plowing through enemy positions.

"Lord Jing Liu, this position has been breached; should we lead the troops to rendezvous with the General?"

Just as Jing Liu was judging which campaign this was, a Cloud Knight soldier walked over.

"Confirm annihilation before rendezvousing; leave no survivors." Jing Liu nodded.

Right now it was best to end the war at the fastest speed, after which she could verify the time point.

"Yes, Lord Jing Liu!"

That Cloud Knight cupped his fist in salute, then went to issue orders.

But just as he was about to turn, his shoulder was suddenly grabbed.

"Wait, what did you call me?"

Jing Liu's voice came; the Cloud Knight turned back and looked at her in confusion: "Lord Jing... Liu....."

"Am I not the Sword Champion yet?"

Cloud Knight:?

"You... you are the Sword Champion in my heart...."

The Cloud Knight scratched his head through his helmet, utterly baffled why Lord Jing Liu would ask this.

The matter of the honorific had indeed not been formally bestowed on Jing Liu, but in people's hearts she was already the Sword Champion; it was probably just one major military merit away.

Also....

"Lord Jing Liu, you... what's wrong?"

He saw the other's expression suddenly turn excited and happy, which left him even more at a loss.

"Nothing, you go busy yourself first."

Jing Liu swallowed, then turned and walked toward the battlefield led by General Teng Xiao.

Through the Cloud Knight's address, she had now confirmed the time node.

No wonder she hadn't sensed Jing Yuan and Xuan Ge's auras — because she hadn't taken a disciple yet.

So.... this also means....

"Hah.... hah, Xuan Ge, wait for me."

The moment Jing Liu thought of Xuan Ge still being in his youth, she couldn't help wanting to go back and cling to him.

She had seen Xuan Ge's childhood state, but only in photo albums — a family portrait of Xuan Ge and his parents.

"If... I'm just saying if." Pink light flared wildly in Jing Liu's crimson pupils. "If Xuan Ge's parents agree to us being together, then...."

Just thinking of this, Jing Liu could no longer hold back.

Even the sword in her hand — because she was too excited — had its hilt crushed by her grip.

"What Ling Sha, what Daliahua, Xuan Ge you can only be mine!"

She tossed aside the longsword, and following habit condensed an ice sword before bursting with speed, directly leaping and crashing into Teng Xiao's battlefield.

With a wave of her hand, a sword qi instantly cleared the mara within roughly five hundred meters around her; then Jing Liu entered a selfless slaughter state.

"Whoa, Jing Liu, you this..."

Teng Xiao, fighting in high spirits, saw Jing Liu suddenly cut into the battlefield; he hadn't said a word before seeing Jing Liu go berserk, even more battle-happy than him.

"What's up with this Jing Liu?"

Seeing Jing Liu had already abandoned set moves, opting for a wide-open, stat-based playstyle, this struck Teng Xiao as strange.

But he didn't choose to stay stunned; instead he followed Jing Liu in plowing the field, crazily harvesting the mara army like chives.

Luo Fu Xian Zhou, on the Victory Middle School playground, Xuan Ge and Jing Yuan sat together.

It was PE class now; after everyone finished practicing with the teacher, it was also dismissal time; little cliques all went off to do their own thing.

"Ah...."

Jing Yuan saw Xuan Ge in that wide-mouthed, eyes-closed state; he immediately fished a crumpled tissue from his pocket and covered the other's mouth and nose.

"Achoo!"

Xuan Ge took it and blew his nose.

"Damn, how did I just sense a chill — was it an illusion?"

He just felt like he'd been targeted by some flood-beast.

It wasn't just his back turning cold; his whole body was cold.

A feeling of being played with in the palm of someone's hand.

"A chill?" Jing Yuan raised an eyebrow, then unwrapped a snack bought from the school store. "Maybe Dan Feng and Ying Xing are cursing you."

"Maybe; who knows, Dan Heng.... cough cough, I mean Dan Feng. He's probably having a headache over at the Chi Ming clan grounds."

Xuan Ge reached out, grabbed a handful of snacks, and stuffed them into his mouth.

He still knew about the Perspicacity Clan's mess with Dan Feng; Dan Feng was probably being driven half to death by that group of Dragon Masters right now, with no time to look for the two of them.

"Forget it, why think so much? Anyway, the two of us have it easiest."

Jing Yuan put the snacks at hand, then came behind Xuan Ge, back leaning against back.

He watched the swarms of classmates, that sense of comfort welling up, truly making him feel the years quiet and good.

Eight hundred years, and he could actually experience that carefree childhood feeling once more.

Really nice.

"Easy?" Xuan Ge interrupted Jing Yuan's comfort at that moment, "Figured out how to tell your family you want to be a soldier in this second run?"

Jing Yuan's family had served the Earth Balance Division for generations; his parents naturally hoped Jing Yuan would follow along.

But heaven didn't fulfill man's wish; Jing Yuan didn't want to do a job you could see the end of at a glance, he just wanted to go out and have fun, and as a result he ran into Yun Wu and ruined his whole life.

"Heh, what's so hard about that? I used zero seconds to think of how to speedrun it; you try quick too."

Xuan Ge:?

"Not cool, bro, what do you mean?"

Xuan Ge bumped the back of his head against the other; he always felt his ass was going to split open.

"You don't even stab us brothers with a knife anymore, so I can't get a little payback?"

Jing Yuan revealed a meaningful smile; he prepared to let Xuan Ge properly suffer a beating.

The excuse would be "he joined the army because Xuan Ge instigated it"; then his dad and mom would definitely go to Lao Xuan's house to see what's what.

At that time he'd cry, make a scene, and roll on the floor, make Xuan Ge's parents stay to teach him; maybe it could change Xuan Ge's parents' situation a bit.

Right now he and Xuan Ge have zero power; they can't contact Dan Feng's side; Jing Liu is probably on the battlefield outside.

Ying Xing's side is even more out of the question; the person is forging iron on the Zhu Ming Xian Zhou.

So, the best method right now is to utilize connections.

Why Xuan Ge likes eating convenient and quick hot pot — that's still because his parents are gone, no one to cook for him.

Starved until his body couldn't take it, only then did he pick up the hot pot his father and mother often ate in logistics.

Tofu and pickled vegetables are both ordinary things, but both were made by Xuan Ge's parents with their own hands, so he likes eating them very much.

"Tch, when I get home I'll say it, that foul mouth was taught by you." Xuan Ge let out a soft grunt.

Finish speaking, then didn't continue picking up the conversation.

He understood Jing Yuan's meaning; during these two class periods he had actually been thinking the whole time how to keep his parents safe.

His power cannot be used recklessly now, otherwise this world would become unstable, easy to crash the playthrough.

Not to mention this is Bai Hang's karma; once it shatters, it's truly beyond recovery, the kind that can't be saved even if you try.

"Alright, compared to our little tricks, I believe Jing Liu cares even more than you."

Hearing the end-of-class bell ring, Jing Yuan stretched lazily, and reminded once.

Jing Liu definitely won't stand by and do nothing; she definitely can protect Xuan Ge's parents, and then come a spectacular... gagong to wood.

"Huh? Fuck, cut it out, I'm still little!"
