C1 Opening

Opposite Mu Xinshu stood a woman, a beautiful woman.

He knew this woman. Xu Nan, his junior sister in the Core Sect, Mu Xinshu only knew that this girl's talent was very high at such a young age. He also knew that Xu Nan was weird and weird. She was a lively girl, but Mu Xinshu and Xu Nan had not met many times, so he only had a little impression of her. Besides, there were so many names that Mu Xinshu couldn't stand them anymore.

On a flat chest, Xu Nan was indeed a beautiful girl. She had a petite and thin body, an oval face, and a rosy white face, beautiful as a peach flower. With a pair of clear eyes, she seemed lively and intelligent.

A pair of dimples, a pair of bright big eyes, and a pair of white and slender hands were holding a heart wood sword. The wooden sword was simple and unadorned, showing a light green color. Mu Xinshu also had the same wooden sword in his hand. When Mu Xinshu had just entered the sect, his Master had given him this as a gift.

With a grin, a pair of dimples formed naturally. A pair of beautiful eyelashes slightly opened, and every single one of them was clearly visible with the color of happiness.

"Haha, Shixiong Mu, let's see where you can escape to this time!" Xu Nan slightly parted her red lips, the expression on her oval face seemed very excited.

"Humph!" Mu Xinshu snorted and shook his head. The excited look on Xu Nan's face made him feel somewhat vexed. If he hadn't been injured earlier, he definitely wouldn't have been blocked by Xu Nan.

With a flick of her wrist, a beautiful sword flower appeared on the heart sword in her hand, her petite face proudly raising towards Mu Xinshu. Xu Nan did not care about the slightly dissatisfied expression on Mu Xinshu's face, and said softly, "Senior Brother Mu, you'd better come back with me, so that I won't hurt you. If I accidentally kill you, it will not be good."

Mu Xinshu lowered his head, his dark and clear eyes staring at the heart of the wooden sword in his hand. The blood on the wooden sword had dried long ago, but the dark red blood had not covered up the faint blue color of the heart of the wooden sword. Looking at the heart tree sword in his hand, Mu Xinshu's eyes seemed to drift. His mind suddenly returned to the scene that his Master Luo Yuan had taught him when he first entered the heart of the tree gate five years ago.

Five years ago, Mu Xinshu was only a fifteen-year-old teenager, but his heart was set on learning and becoming a god. Five years later, Mu Xinshu had already grown up and experienced many hardships just so he could escape from his teachers.

Xu Nan stood less than five meters away from Mu Xinshu. Xu Nan was able to clearly see the change in Mu Xinshu's expression, the faint sadness still flickering on his face. Xu Nan blinked, tilting her head. Her bright eyes were filled with doubt. To her, she felt that she was becoming more and more unable to read the Book of Patriarchs in front of her.

Mu Xinshu raised his head and looked at Xu Nan with a gloomy gaze. He suddenly let out a sigh and softly asked, "Junior sister Xu, have you killed anyone before?"

Xu Nan raised her head with a haughty expression, glanced at Mu Xinshu with disdain, and said firmly, "Isn't this nonsense, of course I've killed people before!"

Mu Xinshu read through all the expressions on Xu Nan's exquisite oval face, and he shook his head slightly. Mu Xinshu's lips curved up in a smile, "Then you can kill me, kill me with the heart tree sword in your hand, and take my head back to your Master, report to the sect elders, and receive the reward for the heart tree sword."

He raised his head and looked at Mu Xinshu with disbelief. The faint smile on Mu Xinshu's face caused Xu Nan to frown, and she gently raised her wrist, pointing the heart tree wooden sword in her hand towards Mu Xinshu.

Mu Xinshu's faint smile gradually became thicker as he gently nodded towards Xu Nan, and Mu Xinshu softly said, "Right, just like this, rather than being captured by some other junior brother, why not just be killed by Junior Sister Xu instead? After all, you are such a beautiful girl, and people say that even after peonies die, you will still act like a ghost, right?"

Xu Nan's face suddenly turned slightly red and her arm loosened. She put down the wooden sword in her hand and stared at Mu Xinshu with her deep eyes as she scolded him softly, "Senior Brother Mu, what you're saying is not like this. It's scolding words, don't speak nonsense."

Mu Xinshu gently shook his head. Xu Nan's current performance made him feel that she was quite laughable. This girl Xu Nan was truly weird and adorable. At such a critical juncture, he didn't know how to cherish it. He had to wait for his fellow apprentices to grab hold of him first. Perhaps at that time, Xu Nan would feel traces of regret.

He raised his hand, and the light blue wooden sword in his hand began to glow with a faint red glow. That was the color of the bloodstains on the wooden sword. Pointing the tip of the sword at the astonished Xu Nan, Mu Xinshu calmly said, "If you don't make your move, then I'll make my move. Since time waits for no one, I can't stay here any longer with you."

Seeing Mu Xinshu point the wooden sword at her, Xu Nan finally woke up. Her first reaction was not to raise the wooden sword in her hand again, but to open her clear eyes wide in shock as she looked at Mu Xinshu. Shixiong Mu, why did you do such a thing? You and I have no enmity or grievances. Even though we haven't met each other many times, I still remember you. Did you forget? When I first entered the sect, I even asked you to take me on a sect mission. "

With a flick of his wrist, a cyan light flashed, and the heart tree wood sword in his hand was sheathed in the scabbard at his waist. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked towards the depths of the forest with large strides.

He finally understood that the reason Xu Nan and the other sects followed him here was not to capture or kill him, but just to find him for a chat. What a joke, his, Mu Xinshu's, time is his life, how could he chat with Xu Nan? This crazy girl, she's really crazy!

Xu Nan looked at Mu Xinshu's back as he left without saying a word. Her eyes were wide open in disbelief, but she just stood there in a daze. She didn't immediately follow Mu Xinshu's footsteps.

Xu Nan's delicate face was covered in a layer of hazy confusion. It was as if Xu Nan had too many questions and doubts about the note.
