The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1359 Sword Intent on the Stone Steps
“Tianjian Peak is just a bare, isolated peak. There’s nothing to steal from it, so why can’t we? Besides, you have the elder’s token, so it’s naturally permissible.”

Su Wu replied with a shrug, adding, "A bare mountain, are you afraid people will move it all away?"

Lin Chen was overjoyed and smiled as he agreed, "Thank you, senior."

It would be even better to live on Tianjian Peak.

Aside from the possibility of finding the Heavenly Sword inheritance, he also didn't really want to stay in that guest room where someone would respectfully serve him.

Su Wu was the only person on Tianjian Peak. No one ever came here on ordinary days, so living here was much more comfortable.

Lin Chen moved up to Tianjian Peak and settled into the wooden house on the edge.

The next day, before the sun had even risen, Lin Chen heard Su Wu getting up.

So early?
Lin Chen quickly got up, put on his clothes, and went outside, just in time to see Su Wu carrying a large broom, preparing to leave.

"Senior, are we going to sweep the mountain path?"

Su Wu turned around and glanced at him: "Hmm."

Lin Chen volunteered: "Let me help you. We can each sweep half, and it'll be faster."

Su Wu replied, "I'm old and don't need to sleep much. I sweep the streets to pass the time. You're young, so you can sleep whenever you want. Don't feel embarrassed. This has nothing to do with you anyway."

Lin Chen, however, had already taken the initiative to pick up another slightly old broom from the corner: "Since we're already awake, let's do it together, consider it our morning exercise."

Su Wu hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay."

Su Wu flew down and reached the middle. He pointed down and said, "You sweep from here upwards, and I'll sweep down from below."

"it is good."

After Su Wu left, Lin Chen landed and began sweeping up the steps.

Although the steps were clean, sweeping them was much slower than walking, and judging from Su Wu's expression, he clearly wasn't going to use magic and was just sweeping them by hand. Lin Chen naturally felt embarrassed to use magic to help.

Fortunately, Lin Chen has been in a calm state of mind lately, and he is not in a hurry to face the long stone steps.

I used to walk up and down mountains for eight hours a day without any problems, but surely I can't walk half that distance for eight hours?

Lin Chen calmed down and started scanning upwards, level by level. As he scanned, Lin Chen's brows furrowed.

Why does my own sword-wielding body seem somewhat out of control?
It's like they're jumping for joy and cheering?
What's going on? Lin Chen sensed carefully and was surprised to find that a very subtle sword intent was being released from the black stone steps. If it weren't for his own sword bones and his extremely keen perception of sword intent, he would not have been able to detect this faint sword intent at all.

Lin Chen suddenly had a thought: Could this faint sword intent be related to the Heavenly Sword inheritance?
After thinking it over, Lin Chen didn't dare to be certain about this matter. After all, this peak was the one where Su Shaoling comprehended the sword, and it was normal for everything on this peak to have been touched by Su Shaoling's sword intent to some extent.

Although uncertain, Lin Chen took it to heart.

Lin Chen was overjoyed as he paid close attention along the way.

On each step, there seemed to be a faint, almost imperceptible, sword intent.

Lin Chen spent nearly four hours finally sweeping the entire stone staircase, by which time it was already broad daylight.

Lin Chen looked back at the stone steps he had swept, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

There's something wrong with these stone steps!

It's normal for sword immortals to have strong sword intent lingering where they comprehend or practice swordsmanship. However, the sword intent on these stone steps is different. It doesn't seem to be left unintentionally, but rather deliberately and with some control, because these sword intents are full of regularity and rhythm.

The stone steps were clearly clean, but Su Wu still insisted on cleaning them every day without using any magic. He simply cleaned them quietly, step by step.

Why?

If these stone steps are related to the inheritance, does that mean that Su Wu actually knew where the inheritance was all along?

Was he also trying to comprehend the Heavenly Sword by sweeping the stone steps every day?

With doubts in his mind, Lin Chen called it a day.

Soon, Su Wu returned, greeted Lin Chen with a normal expression, and then went into the kitchen to start a fire and cook.

After finishing his meal, Lin Chen strolled up the stone steps again. He walked for a while and then lay down on the entire stone steps.

Lin Chen's sword-like aura pressed against the stone steps at close range, making the extremely faint sword intent appear even more pronounced, which further confirmed Lin Chen's suspicions.

Although he didn't know what Su Shaoling had done to the stone steps, Lin Chen was certain that the stone steps were definitely related to the Heavenly Sword inheritance!

Lin Chen closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and carefully tried to comprehend it.

After a long while, he moved a distance downwards again. His keen swordsmanship made him realize that when he changed positions, the sword intent seemed to have increased slightly.

Just a little!
This discovery thrilled Lin Chen. If he could use this to search for the strongest sword intent, could it mean that he might find the Heavenly Sword inheritance left by Su Shaoling?
