The bloodstains on her clothes were like blooming red plums—glaring and desolate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu He stepped forward and said softly, \"The path of a Martial Artist requires a clear and untroubled mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your stepfather and stepbrother have become stumbling blocks on your path forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you cannot let go of these obsessions, you will never get far in Martial Arts, no matter how hard you train.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu He’s words were like a gentle spring breeze, slightly dispersing the gloom in Ye Lingyun’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tightened her grip on the kitchen knife in her hand, her eyes flashing with a determined light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu He was right. She needed to let go of the past to embrace a better future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that very moment, a spark of insight flashed through Chu He’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt as if he had returned to his childhood, to that innocent age full of dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered that his childhood dream wasn’t to roam the world with a sword, but something more intuitive and direct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to live as he pleased, to fly as freely as a bird in the sky, without any constraints!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought was fleeting, but it was as if Chu He had found his long-lost soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the system’s notification chimed in Chu He’s mind. \"DING! Congratulations, Host, for finding your lost self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mission complete: You have received one Rejuvenating Pill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A round Elixir suddenly appeared in Chu He’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elixir was bluish-green and emanated a faint, herbal fragrance, like the natural scent of a forest blended with countless trees and plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he placed the Elixir in his mouth. It instantly dissolved into a gentle medicinal energy that flooded his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy spread rapidly through Chu He, surging into his limbs, his bones, and every one of his meridians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring, his entire body filled with a sense of ease and comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the hidden injuries he had accumulated over the years were healing at an astonishing rate under the Elixir’s effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chu He opened his eyes again, he felt as if he had returned to his seventeen or eighteen-year-old self, back at his peak physical condition without any injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, he had been full of vigor and ambition, looking down on everyone and considering himself the best in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel the surging power and boundless vitality within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system’s chime echoed in Chu He’s mind once more, crisp and pleasant like celestial music.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"DING! Find a city you like and live there for a week. Slow down your pace of life and return to the simple hustle and bustle of the mortal world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mission Reward: Xuanyuan Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mission Failure: No penalty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, the system sent another special notification:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xuanyuan Sword: A legendary Divine Soldier, also known as the Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword. It is a Holy Dao Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sword was forged for the Yellow Emperor by a host of immortals who gathered the Shoushan Copper. It was later passed down to Xia Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One side of the blade is engraved with the sun, moon, and stars, symbolizing the vastness of the cosmos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other side is etched with mountains, rivers, plants, and trees, representing the vitality of the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one side of the hilt are inscribed the arts of farming and animal husbandry—the wisdom of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side are engraved the strategies for unifying the four seas—the sound policies of governance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sword contains infinite power and is a Divine Soldier for slaying demons and devils.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, a fiery glint flashed in Chu He’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if he could already see the legendary Divine Sword, shimmering brilliantly before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could really obtain the Xuanyuan Sword,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it would be like giving a tiger wings. Across the entire Blue Star, neither humans nor Evil Spirits would be his match!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’To complete this mission as quickly as possible, I’ve decided to stay in Turtle Shell City for a while.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having made his decision, Chu He’s gaze fell upon Ye Lingyun once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl was standing quietly to the side, her eyes filled with tenacity and resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Since I’m at a loose end, why not take this chance to train this young lady? The resilience and courage she possesses are exactly the qualities I admire.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep within the Demon Cave, far from the clamor of the world, a rippling emerald lake glittered with a mysterious light, like a gemstone set among the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding mountains rose and fell in successive ranges, wreathed in clouds and mist, creating a scene like a fairyland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gentle breeze swept by, sending ripples across the lake’s surface, which seemed to echo the dance of the rustling leaves in the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zong Yajuan and Yu Kailin walked side by side through this picturesque scenery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zong Yajuan, the leader of the Time Girl Group, was nearly thirty yet still maintained a slender figure and a charming face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore form-fitting Soft Armor that perfectly accentuated her graceful curves,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>making her seem like a ripe peach exuding a seductive, mature charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Yu Kailin was the youngest member of the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore her hair in twin ponytails that bounced cheerfully like a pair of little Elves as she walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a sweet and cute face, and the black-framed glasses she wore added a playful touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lolita dress she wore, while actually a piece of defensive equipment, had been cleverly designed in a Lolita style to suit her personal taste, making it both practical and fashionable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Kailin held a cell phone. Although the signal here was terrible and she couldn’t get online, she was still enthusiastic about capturing beautiful moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continuously pressed the shutter button, taking pictures of the surrounding scenery, each photo freezing a beautiful moment in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can understand now why Chu He chose this place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Kailin gazed into the distance and said, \"It must be lonely, but it brings endless benefits and prestige to yourself and your family. If it were me, I probably would have made the same choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zong Yajuan nodded slightly and reminded her, \"Still, we should be careful. You don’t want to get careless and be caught off guard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she paid lip service to caution, she wasn’t particularly concerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since arriving in the Demon Cave, they hadn’t discovered any danger or seen any sign of Evil Spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few traces of Evil Spirits they did find seemed old and faint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this led them to believe that Chu He’s strength was truly not to be underestimated; otherwise, he couldn’t possibly have suppressed the Demon Cave to this extent all by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it also meant that there probably wasn’t any danger left here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big Sis, do you think we’ll run into any Evil Spirits?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Kailin asked curiously, blinking her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Evil Spirits...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zong Yajuan frowned slightly, recalling the descriptions and photos of Evil Spirits. \"Most of them are terrifying in appearance, and they can affect a person’s mind. But we’re all King-level experts. Naturally, we won’t be affected by such crude tricks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hee hee, I think so too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Kailin gave a sweet smile. \"There are only two sealing points left. We can finish our mission today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun is about to set, and I heard Second and Third Sis are planning a barbecue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why don’t we split up? You take one, I’ll take the other, and we can check them quickly and meet back here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for Zong Yajuan’s reply, Yu Kailin eagerly ran off in the other direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zong Yajuan wanted to stop her, but Yu Kailin’s figure had already disappeared into the dense woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head helplessly and had no choice but to walk off in the opposite direction alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a black shadow flashed through the mountain forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a dense cloud of black mist. It shot over the treetops and vanished deep into the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eerie sight seemed to foreshadow some unknown event about to unfold...\u003C\u002Fp>",1415,"2026-06-06T16:46:31.807Z",1,"novelbin.me","845659c89af46875065aa40e6cb4392dcf49c4afbc51c9e29fcb92becdadb32a","national-guardian-s-gone-and-we-re-done-chapter-12","national-guardian-s-gone-and-we-re-done-chapter-10",274,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnational-guardian-s-gone-and-we-re-done-cover.jpg"]
