Chapter 543 This dark day arrived one month before Jun Wuchi’s birthday.
After Feng Zhi was kicked out of the Feng family while pregnant, her whereabouts became unknown. No one knows what happened to her afterwards. Now, a hundred years have passed, and the child may not have been born that year, or may have died long ago.
After hearing what Nalan Ruoxi said, Ying Li was silent for a while, then he said slowly: "Given my physical condition, I probably won't be able to see you get married and have children in the future. If I still can't find the child before your child is born, or the child is no longer alive, then this sword will be a companion gift from me, your aunt, to your future child."
If it were someone else, after taking Ying Li's sword, they might just take it for themselves, or if they had some conscience, after listening to Ying Li's words, they would not try hard to look for it, and just accept it with peace of mind.
But the other party was Nalan Ruoxi, and Ying Li believed her.
Nalan Ruoxi pursed her lips, took the Qianqiuxue from Ying Li, and said, "If I can't find the child in a hundred years, or if the child dies, I will give this sword to Chi'er."
"Chi'er already has a lot. This sword shouldn't be his." Seeing Nalan Ruoxi take the sword, Ying Li knew that she agreed to her request, and a smile appeared on his face. "When I was poisoned during my pregnancy, you found Master Wu Yu to save me from the gates of hell. If it weren't for you, Chi'er and I would have died long ago."
"Ruoxi, I owe you too much. Even this sword is not enough to repay you..." Ying Li insisted, "If the child is found, this sword will be given to him, and I will repay you in the next life for what I owe you. If not - sister, leave it to your child, don't give it to Chi'er."
Fu Sheng sighed softly in his heart.
Although Nalan Ruoxi said that Feng Yunqing's surname was given to him by Master Jingwang, Shi Mingfeng, using his own pen name, Fu Sheng knew in his heart that Feng Yunqing was indeed Feng Zhi's son.
Fu Sheng didn't know why Feng Yunqing changed his attitude at the banquet and distanced himself from the matter when Nalan Ruoxi went to find Feng Yunqing two years ago. However, Nalan Ruoxi excluded Feng Yunqing, which meant that she was doomed to never find Feng Zhi's child again.
"You always feel that you owe countless favors." Nalan Ruoxi said indifferently, "I will keep this sword for you temporarily. When I find Wu Yu and cure your illness, you can take it back. By then, whether you find the child and give it to him, or you want to give my child a companion gift, you will do it yourself."
"Okay." Ying Li smiled. She knew that Nalan Ruoxi said this on purpose in order to prevent herself from being so negative.
She seemed to remember something, and then continued: "By the way, this sword doesn't have a sword spirit yet. I have always wanted to find a mountain to help me breed it, but I can never find a suitable one. If you encounter a suitable sacred mountain in the future, you can seal it in the mountain, and it will only take a hundred years to breed a sword spirit. I am confident that once this sword has a sword spirit, it will be the best sword in the world!"
Perhaps it was due to the swordsmith's arrogance, but when she said the last sentence, Ying Li's eyes lit up and her haggard face became radiant, just as bright as she was when Fu Sheng first met her a hundred years ago.
Even Nalan Ruoxi was stunned by her look. After she came to her senses, she lowered her eyes to look at the sword in her hand. When she saw the three words engraved on the hilt, she whispered: "Qian Qiu Xue..."
——What a nice name.
Fu Sheng stood aside, looking at the sword in Nalan Ruoxi's hand, feeling a mixture of emotion.
If she had not entered Jun Wu Chi's illusion this time, she would probably never have known that Ying Li actually wanted to give Qian Qiuxue to Feng Yunqing.
As for why Qianqiuxue ended up in Miracles, Fu Sheng thought that it was probably because Nalan Ruoxi wanted Qianqiuxue to give birth to a sword spirit, so she found an opportunity to bury her in the snow-capped mountains of the ninth domain of Miracles.
After all, there is indeed no mountain that can gather more spiritual energy from heaven and earth than the mountains in miracles.
As for why Nalan Ruoxi did not hand over Qianqiuxue to Yan Su, Fu Sheng didn't know if it was because the Yan family was wiped out too suddenly, so Nalan Ruoxi didn't have time to say it.
But in short, after many twists and turns in the previous life, Qian Qiuxue finally fell into Yan Su's hands.
This can be regarded as the fulfillment of Ying Li's last wish.
Thinking of this, Fu Sheng suddenly felt relieved.
Every time she thought about her and Yan Su fighting for the sword that Ying Li gave to Jun Wuchi, she felt heavy-hearted.
Now that he knew that Ying Li had originally planned to give Qian Qiuxue to Nalan Ruoxi's child as a companion gift, Fu Sheng felt that the psychological pressure suddenly became much lighter.
After the conversation, Nalan Ruoxi left with the sword.
Perhaps neither of them had expected that this visit from Nalan Ruoxi would be their last meeting, and Ying Li's explanation seemed like a last word that he had spoken in advance.
Ying Li, who promised to hold on until Jun Wuchi came of age, did not even see Jun Wuchi turn ten.
Fu Sheng knew that Ying Li died when Jun Wu Chi was less than ten years old, but he didn't know the exact day. So since Jun Wu Chi was halfway through his ninth birthday, Fu Sheng had been worried.
And finally, as Fu Sheng was counting the days and becoming increasingly worried, this dark day arrived a month before Jun Wuchi's tenth birthday.
