The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1231 - 1229: Understanding your hesitance to speak, understanding your involuntary circumstances!

Chapter 1231: Chapter 1229: Understanding your hesitance to speak, understanding your involuntary circumstances!

Jian Ruohan stood by, watching the deadly fight between Lin Bai and Pei Ji.

Immediately, Jian Ruohan pulled out the Jingmeng Sword from her Storage Bag, raised the blade fiercely, and with a fierce look on her face, stabbed viciously towards Lin Bai.

The sword’s edge was ferocious and venomous, its power extraordinary!

"Lin Bai, you are going to die!"

"Heart-sensing Sword Array!"

Jian Ruohan roared angrily.

Lin Bai looked up, his eyes meeting Jian Ruohan’s, and his face broke into a big smile.

"Bring it on."

Lin Bai let out a cold laugh as he charged forward with his sword.

The Jingmeng Sword and Qingge Sword clashed in mid-air.

In that instant, Lin Bai felt a trace of sadness in his heart...

Sadness?

A sorrowful emotion surfaced in Lin Bai’s heart?

But this feeling did not originate from Lin Bai, but from Jian Ruohan!

"Lin Bai, what exactly happened?"

As Jian Ruohan continuously exchanged sword moves with Lin Bai, she was inwardly asking Lin Bai.

With the Heart-sensing Sword Array deployed, Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan became emotionally connected, communicating easily in their minds.

"I can feel your sadness, your heartache... Did my words earlier make you feel this way?" Lin Bai asked guiltily and reproachfully in his heart.

"Not at all."

Jian Ruohan shook her head as she spoke.

Lin Bai said with a guilty conscience, "I’m sorry, Ruohan, I’m really sorry. I don’t want to hurt you, but I truly had no choice."

"Only by speaking to you that way could I gain the trust of the Five Poisons Sect Leader!"

"At that moment, I just didn’t have any other way."

"The situation caught me off guard, giving me no time to think."

Lin Bai spoke with immense pain in his heart.

Hearing Lin Bai’s apology, Jian Ruohan’s heart softened, and she said lightly, "I know, which is why I don’t blame you. The moment I realized you were acting involuntarily, I immediately came forward to deploy the Sword Array!"

"Is there something difficult you can’t say to my face, something that you must hide?"

"Lin Bai, what exactly happened?"

"Within the Heart-sensing Sword Array, our hearts are connected. You can tell me here, and nobody else will know," Jian Ruohan urged in her mind, eager to know what had happened.

Lin Bai said, "Ruohan, listen to me, I will tell you everything!"

"This so-called Magic Circle is nothing but a ruse concocted by the Five Poison Sect."

"Their sole purpose is to use these circles to control me!"

"To use me as a counterbalance against the Miracle Ridge!"

Lin Bai spoke rapidly.

Jian Ruohan asked, "Why do you listen to them?"

Lin Bai spoke painfully, "My Third Uncle is in their hands; the Five Poison Sect is using his life to blackmail me."

"Ruohan, I’m sorry. My Third Uncle is one of the few remaining relatives I have in this world; I can’t stand to see him die before me."

Lin Bai’s heart was in turmoil as he spoke with remorse.

"The Sect Leader demanded that I promise to kill all the warriors left in the Magic Circle within three hours!"

Lin Bai said with self-reproach.

Jian Ruohan nodded slightly, her expression remaining icy cold as she looked at Lin Bai.

"Don’t worry, Ji Guan isn’t dead. The stab I aimed at his neck was just an illusion. The reason he fell is because I used Sword Qi to infiltrate his body and shatter a few of his meridians, rendering him temporarily powerless," Lin Bai said urgently in his heart.

"I had to do it, to stall the Five Poisons Sect Leader!"

"Otherwise, if I keep dawdling here with you, the Sect Leader would soon realize that I’m delaying."

Lin Bai spoke rapidly in his heart.

Jian Ruohan nodded gently, "I understand."

"I’ll go help you rescue your uncle."

Lin Bai said joyfully, "Thank you, Ruohan!"

Jian Ruohan spoke, "But if I leave so easily, the Sect Hierarch will surely become suspicious!"

"Haha, have you forgotten?"

"I just spoke harshly to you, and the Sect Leader surely must think that you and I have had a falling out."

Lin Bai said with a cold laugh.

Jian Ruohan was startled and asked, "Then those heartless words you said to me just now, were they deliberate?"

Lin Bai said with guilt, "I’m sorry, Ruohan, I had no other choice. I had to let the Five Poisons Sect Leader see my heartlessness towards you first so that he would lower his guard."

Jian Ruohan said, "You’ve apologized to me many times today."

"Lin Bai, I don’t need your apologies."

"If you really feel sorry for me, then can you promise me that from now on, you will never yell at me again?"

Jian Ruohan said to Lin Bai, starry-eyed.

Hearing Jian Ruohan’s words, Lin Bai felt immense pain in his heart.

"Ruohan, I swear I will never speak harshly to you again for as long as I live!" Lin Bai said guiltily.

"Hehe."

Hearing Lin Bai’s response, Jian Ruohan’s cheerful laughter could be heard.

"Alright, Lin Bai. Let’s put on a play for the Five Poisons Sect Leader."

"You will strike me down, I will leave the Magic Circle, and then I will sneak into the Five Poison Sect to rescue Third Uncle."

Jian Ruohan said coldly.

"Okay."

Lin Bai’s eyes flashed with a cold light.

At once.

A clash of violent sounds spread!

Lin Bai’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and with a thrust of his sword, he sent Jian Ruohan flying!

"Hmph, Lin Bai, today I admit defeat at your hands, but one day I will surely return to seek revenge!" Jian Ruohan stared at Lin Bai, snorted coldly, turned, and headed straight out of the Magic Circle!

Lin Bai watched Jian Ruohan leave.

He said to himself, "Ruohan, please."

Jian Ruohan responded, "Don’t worry."

"Ruohan."

"It’s so good to have you; some feelings are not about tender nurturance, but about understanding the things one hesitates to say, understanding the involuntary actions!"

Lin Bai watched Jian Ruohan walk away.

Jian Ruohan reached the edge of the Magic Circle, looked back at Lin Bai, and said, "I understand your hesitation, I understand your involuntary actions."

"Don’t worry, I will definitely rescue Third Uncle."

With those words, Jian Ruohan turned and left the Magic Circle.

Jian Ruohan had left.

Lin Bai stood in the Magic Circle, his expression still cold.

"What’s going on?"

"Senior Sister Jian Ruohan actually admitted defeat?"

"Senior Sister Jian Ruohan left?"

Many warriors exclaimed in surprise at this moment.

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Jian Ruohan and Lin Bai with a strange expression in her eyes.

Just now, Bai Xiaoxiao and Ye Wuhuan and others had seen that Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan had exchanged several hundred moves, but in the end, Jian Ruohan was suddenly defeated by Lin Bai with a single sword strike and left immediately.

"Does she know?" Bai Xiaoxiao murmured to herself, "She knows about Lin Bai’s involuntariness..."

Ye Wuhuan also looked at Jian Ruohan with a curious expression.

Immediately, Ye Wuhuan’s eyes narrowed, and a subtle light flickered at the corner of his mouth.

Ye Wuhuan’s figure flashed, rushing towards Lin Bai with a palm strike.

"What are you trying to pull?"

Ye Wuhuan approached Lin Bai and said in a low voice.

Lin Bai brandished his sword and said in a low voice, "Sect Leader, I am involuntary. Please accompany me here for three hours."

Ye Wuhuan said coldly, "You killed Ji Guan!"

Lin Bai said, "Senior Brother Ji Guan is not dead. He has merely been cut off from his limbs and meridians and is unable to stand up. Don’t worry, with Senior Brother Ji Guan’s abilities, he will regain consciousness within three hours."

Lin Bai’s eyes remained icy cold.

Ps: About the "Chapter 1227: Turning Against Each Other!" and "Chapter 1228: Lin Bai! His Name Ruined!"

Because Emperor Sword felt that these two Chapters were not well written, after some consideration, he decided to make some revisions.

The revised version has been published. You can see the revised version if you open these two Chapters again.

Of course, the plot is coherent even if you choose not to read the revised versions and continue with the story!
