Chapter 457: 457 Scary Conversation

457 Scary Conversation

“Where are the other jinxes?”

Yuchi gave a rather straightforward answer to this question.

He did not hide these so-called secrets from his disciple.

“Hanjiang, in order to fight against the moon god race, the Knights of the Round Table killed their jinxes and plundered the Dao hearts of their jinxes, which was how they became demigods. They also blamed the moon god race for this, and declared war on them, trying to exterminate them and retrieve the Heavenly Dao.”

He also took the time to go through the details with her.

In the beginning, Yue Hanjiang’s eyes were filled with anticipation to find out where the jinxes had gone. After all, they were of the same kind.

It was only after she heard about what had happened from her master that Yue Hanjiang suddenly realized how the world worked. Their guardians had actually killed their jinxes to strengthen themselves ahead of the great war.

Bu Tingyue, on the other hand, was confused.

She did not know the exact situation, but she felt that this world seemed to be more dangerous than she had imagined.

Compared to the Alchemist Valley, the outside world seemed very cruel.

To actually kill the person one treasured the most and then take revenge on their behalf?

What kind of logic was this?

As an outsider, Bu Tingyue could not understand the logic behind this.

Bu Tingyue thought, ‘If I were Yue Hanjiang, I’d be very angry and sad. After all, someone like me has been treated like this.’

‘If such a thing happened to me, I would be in despair.’

Then, as Yuchi and Bu Tingyue looked on…

Yue Hanjiang said to Yuchi with a serious and expectant look, “Master, I can do what they did!”

Bu Tingyue’s eyes widened.

Why did Yue Hanjiang have such a unique way of thinking? What did she mean by saying that she could do it too?

Why, why? Why could she not understand her logic?

Yuchi’s eyes were filled with helplessness, as Yue Hanjiang continued in a serious tone, “Master, Hanjiang isn’t joking. Whenever you want to kill me, you can just tell me. Of course, you can also kill me without saying anything.”

“I am willing to give my Dao heart to you. No matter what, I will not have a single complaint. I do not think that I am weaker than them. I have no fear. I am willing.”

After she finished speaking, Yue Hanjiang’s eyes seemed to be filled with anticipation. It seemed that if Yuchi killed her now, she would have no regrets.

Bu Tingyue was completely stunned.

She was the one chosen to leave the Alchemist Valley, which meant that her ability to adapt and mental state were excellent.

However, Yue Hanjiang’s words had shaken her worldview.

What did he mean by killing her at any time?

Bu Tingyue’s gaze turned to Yuchi. She was afraid that he would say, “Oh! My dear disciple, since you want me to kill you, then I will kill you.”

It was obvious that Yuchi had sensed her gaze and worries.

He shot Bu Tingyue a look.

Bu Tingyue immediately lowered her head after she understood.

Yuchi already knew that his disciple would give such an answer, as it was in line with the complete trust a jinx had in their guardian.

No matter what he, Yuchi, did, Yue Hanjiang would believe him 100%.

To be honest, this kind of trust could be called brainless, and also a little sad.

It was natural for jinxes to rely on their guardians. Under such circumstances, Yue Hanjiang did not feel any fear. Instead, since all the other jinxes had done the same, she felt inferior to them. Therefore, it was useless to say more.

A jinx was a jinx.

They could not be changed easily, and they could not be judged using normal logic.

“Don’t worry about it.”

“The day when I really want to kill you, I won’t show you any mercy. I’ll make your burning heart appear in my hands. When you look at your beating heart, you’ll probably be able to smile very beautifully.”

Yuchi patted Yue Hanjiang’s little head.

Yue Hanjiang nodded her head repeatedly and smiled.

This was the answer she wanted.

Yue Hanjiang did not want to become a burden to Yuchi.

She only wanted to become Yuchi’s sword.

If she could help her master go further, then she would.

So under such circumstances, to be able to get Yuchi’s affirmative answer was the most wonderful thing for her.

Sacrificing herself for him was not burdensome or sad at all.

It might seem a little difficult to understand, but from Yue Hanjiang’s point of view, her death would have meaning then.

Bu Tingyue knew that Yuchi was just joking.

Yuchi would never sacrifice Yue Hanjiang.

Otherwise, Yuchi would not have shot her that glance just now, nor would he have displayed such an exasperated expression when he was talking to those two demigods earlier. Yuchi would never hurt Yue Hanjiang.

However, how had it become like this? What was up with this world?

‘Have I gone crazy? Or has the world gone crazy?’ Bu Tingyue did not understand the situation at all.

This master and disciple… What a terrifying conversation.
