The female supporting role is really here to mess things up

Lu Qingxi looked at the words above and unconsciously recited the two words in her mind. Then she saw the sword in front of her nodding to her, and she was amazed at the strong spirituality of the sword. She just recited it in her mind, and the sword could sense it.

However, she then remembered that her original body seemed to have only one Fang Ruo sword. If she went out with two swords, one of them would be the Duan Nian sword, which was obviously not an ordinary spiritual sword. It did not seem to fit in with the useless nature of the original owner.

Unexpectedly, the Duan Nian in front of her seemed to understand her thoughts, and suddenly transformed into an ordinary token and flew to her waist. Lu Qingxi touched the token on her waist with appreciation, and was very satisfied with Duan Nian's performance.

Then, she stood up and prepared to walk back in the direction she came from. Lu Qingxi slowly walked out of the ice spring land shrouded in mist, and saw Xuan Yi's figure coming into view. He seemed to have just finished his journey of opportunity, holding a spiritual sword in his hand, with a faint blue light flowing on the sword body, like the stars in the night sky, bright and mysterious.

Lu Qingxi's mind quickly flashed back to Xuan Yi's natal sword in the plot - Wuxin. However, the sword in front of her seemed a little different from the Wuxin sword in the description. Xuan Yi noticed Lu Qingxi's gaze, smiled and handed the sword to her, and whispered: "This way you can look more carefully, my sword is called Huxin."

After hearing this, Lu Qingxi couldn't help but feel confused. She remembered that Xuan Yi's natal sword in the plot was Wuxin, not Huxin. She wondered, did she remember it wrong? Or did something change in this world?

It turned out that before in the ice spring, Lu Qingxi was guided to walk to the left, while Xuan Yi was pulled to the right by the induction. He did not see the special cave like Lu Qingxi, but was sucked into a well emitting white light by a mysterious force when he passed by it.

In the world of the well, Xuan Yi experienced the same test as in the original plot. However, when facing the invasion of the demon world and the demon world, he made a different choice from the original plot. He did not choose to resist alone, but stood in front of Lu Qingxi and fought side by side with her master and other cultivators.

After a fierce battle, he finally succeeded in passing the level. Here, the powerful remnant noticed Xuan Yi's bravery and determination, as well as his considerate protection, so he gave him the sword of protection - the heart protection.

Seeing that there was still a trace of doubt in Lu Qingxi's eyes, Xuan Yi smiled and pulled her aside, and whispered about his experience in the secret realm. He told how he was drawn to a unique forbidden illusion, how he went through the tests in it, and finally obtained the guardian sword - the heart guard. But he did not say that when Lu Qingxi was in danger, he rushed forward without hesitation and protected her. He just said that he chose to fight side by side with his fellow apprentices.

Lu Qingxi was fascinated by what she heard, and her doubts gradually dissipated as Xuan Yi continued to narrate. She knew that everyone had their own choices and destiny, and perhaps this was the meaning of their trip. So, she smiled with relief and said to Xuan Yi, "It seems that we have all got our own opportunities, which is great."

The two smiled at each other and continued walking towards the entrance they came from.

Shortly after they left, there was a slight ripple near the ice spring. Then, a tall figure appeared out of thin air, as if he had stepped out of the void. He was dressed in a white robe, as elegant as an immortal, with long hair fluttering in the wind, exuding a free and unrestrained temperament. His face was extremely handsome, and there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, as if he was a natural immortal.

He stood quietly beside the ice spring, his eyes deep and far away, as if he was thinking about something. His appearance seemed to add a touch of mystery to this land of ice springs.

Not long after, the man gently pulled out the spiritual sword in his hand. The sword body was flowing with a faint golden light, and it seemed to contain endless power. He slowly inserted the sword into the ice spring. In an instant, the water in the ice spring began to rotate violently, forming a huge vortex. But unlike the rising water column that Lu Qingxi had seen before, this rotation gradually condensed into a clear water-shaped man, as if it was carefully carved by the water element.

The man looked at the water-shaped man in front of him, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes. He smiled slightly, bowed and said, "Senior, I am honored to meet you. I felt a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy outside the secret realm, so I hurried here. Has something happened here?"

The water-shaped man nodded slightly, his voice ethereal and ancient: "Yun Li, you are here as expected. I knew you would come when you sensed the breath of Duan Nian. You have an indissoluble bond with these three peerless spiritual swords. Just now, Duan Nian has automatically chosen a master and was taken away by a woman."

After hearing this, Yun Li's smile became more obvious. He was curious about Duan Nian's choice, so he continued to ask, "Senior, can you tell me who Duan Nian's current master is?"

The water-shaped man thought for a moment, as if recalling what had just happened: "Although I can't see the woman's true face, I can sense her cultivation level. She should not have suppressed her cultivation level, and she hasn't even reached the Golden Core Stage yet."

After Yun Li heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He originally thought that Duan Nian would choose a master with high cultivation, but he didn't expect it to be a woman with low cultivation. However, he quickly adjusted his mood. After all, Duan Nian would never choose a master easily. The power of that spirit sword was too great.

He was about to thank the water-shaped man when he heard him continue, "You don't have to be too disappointed. Your Chunjun and Duan Nian have been sealed together for many years, and there is a deep connection between them. As long as Duan Nian is used, you will receive the connection."

After hearing this, Yun Li's eyes flashed with determination. He knew his mission and responsibility, so he bowed deeply to the water-shaped man and turned to leave. His figure gradually moved away from the ice spring, and the human figure that had originally formed turned into drops of water the moment he left, and then fell back into the ice spring.

At this moment, the exit of the secret realm was already noisy. The monks gathered in twos and threes, some whispering to each other, and some gazing expectantly into the depths of the secret realm. However, most of them had nothing in their hands, and it was obvious that they had not received a new sword.

Lu Qingxi and Xuan Yi stood aside, the spirit swords in their hands flickered in the sun, attracting many people's attention. Xuan Yi felt the gazes around him, frowned slightly, and then deliberately took a step forward, blocking Lu Qingxi's figure behind him to reduce those probing eyes.

The two of them waited quietly there, and time passed by, but Song Hanyi, Mu Jingxuan, Gu Yuan and Lin Qiaoyue had not returned yet. Xuan Yi, relying on his photographic memory, checked the people present one by one and found that these four people were indeed missing.

At this moment, two figures finally appeared on the path in the distance. Song Hanyi and Mu Jingxuan walked side by side, each holding a magic sword in their hands. The magic swords were engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns, emitting a faint light. Obviously, they were the two famous swords mentioned in the original plot - Zhilong and Youhuang.
