“We treated Fairy Yuluo as an honored guest, she ate well and, in general, she was doing well, really! I swear!”
“Get out,” said Lin Yi.
His indifferent voice sounded eerie in the green garden. The student closed his mouth, not knowing what to do.
“Didn't you hear me? I said get out of here.”
“M-Master Lin, please don't be angry! I'm leaving, please don't kill us!”
The student’s legs gave way from fear, he crawled out of the yard on all fours, begging for mercy, not daring to turn back.
Only when he got out of the gate did he dare to look back and was relieved to realize that Lin Yi had not followed him..
The Master of the Five Mountain Swords, one of the three strongest sects, was incredibly strong! How did his family even think of crossing his path?! They're completely stupid, aren't they??!
“Rather than live with such fools... maybe it would be better to run away from my family while I'm still alive?..”
For the first time in his life, he felt that his family was not at all as big as he thought...˙.
When the young disciple left, Lin Yi silently and slowly approached the window, behind which he noticed a sad, familiar silhouette.
For a long time he looked at her motionless. Fixed. Silent. Confused in your own feelings.
Yuluo said in a gentle tone without turning around:
“Why are you standing at my window? The Murong family has finally given me a death sentence? So do it, don’t be shy. After all, I said that I admit guilt. My fate is completely in your hands, but Master Lin had nothing to do with it.”
Her voice was beautiful, like raindrops beating a melody on slate. Although she spoke of her own death, the Fairy's tone betrayed neither fear nor doubt..
Lin Yi sadly lowered his head and heard the bitter voice of guilt.:
«Lady Yuluo accomplished so many feats for my sake, and I just turned a blind eye to it. If it weren't for the Mujon family's audacity, how many years would have passed before I finally realized how much she contributed to my path... But I'm afraid it took me too long to realize. Poor Fairy is so desperate that she is ready to accept death...»
The more he thought about it, the more guilt he felt.
“Why are you silent? Yuluo asked. “Am I right? Has my hour of death come? Waiting is sometimes worse than death, so don't torment me.”
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yi opened the door and said loudly:
“Yuluo, it's me.”
All her restraint was wiped away, she opened her mouth in amazement and blushed from all her own pretentious speeches.
It took her a few seconds to force out the question.:
“Young Master Lin...why are you here??”
She was pleasantly surprised, but even more embarrassed. Lin Yi, noticing this, smiled tenderly, but felt even more bitterness.
He only thought about the path of martial arts and never intended to follow it with anyone. But out of his own stupidity, he did not notice the young girl who had been helping him all this time..
Come to think of it, he was never alone. One way or another, someone always helped him. And especially she.
Lin Yi considered those who have nothing to lose to be strong. But is this real power? Giving up everything out of fear of losing is just another type of weakness. True strength is not afraid of losses, it makes them impossible.
It’s just that he is still very, very far from real strength. He didn't even find the courage to acknowledge the one who helped him so much.
Sighing, Lin Yi looked into her eyes and said:
“Fairy Yuluo... let's go home. I stole their sutra, this crime has nothing to do with you. You've already endured too much trouble because of me. She was even expelled from her own clan. But that doesn't matter. After all, your home is Mount Hua.”
“Master Lin...” she muttered, not knowing if it was true or just a dream.
A minute ago it seemed to her that death was already on the threshold - her crime could not be punished otherwise. And now the man for whom Yuluo sacrificed everything, without expecting anything in return, invited her to go home with him. It was a dream, a dream... something out of this world.
“Don't call me that anymore,” he said..
“A? Then what should I call you?” she muttered, puzzled.
“Just Lin Yi,” he smiled, tenderly like a loved one.
“Lin... Lin Yi,” she muttered, blushing..
He laughed and extended his hand:
“Let's go home Yuluo.”
“If... that's your wish...”
She hesitantly extended her jade, slender hand in response, placing her tiny palm into the Sword God's large palm, and blushed to her ears.
This large, callous palm filled her with confidence and a sense of security. She was like a blanket for a child - she protected him from all monsters and threats. Neither the sea nor the stones frightened her anymore.
But the dream, as always, was shattered by reality.
She heard footsteps and exclaimed:
“The Mougon family is here!”
“Don’t worry,” Lin Yi said authoritatively. “With me you have nothing to fear.”
She blushed again. The man she had only dreamed of suddenly came for her. Could this be true? What if she was just dreaming?
After all, for so many years she openly confessed her love to him, and he pretended not to notice anything...
And that’s all... next to him, the storm wind could not shake her clothes, the pouring rain did not dare to touch her dress with a single drop, and the hottest rays of the sun receded... because there was no place happier than next to her loved one.
There was no happier woman than her!

“Patriarch, the guards have lost consciousness due to the Sword God’s blows,” said the family doctor. “Look how their faces are swollen - a little more and they would have died, the bones of the skull were clearly damaged. But, on the other hand, if he wanted, he would have killed them on the spot. This can be considered a mercy.”
Patriarch Muzhon nodded, gloomily looking at the two guards lying motionless with their faces swollen like pig snouts. Shaking his head he said:
“But this is still a blow to the Muzhon family’s reputation! First he stole our best equipment, and now he broke into the clan’s territory and beat the best guards! Yes, how much!”
The other elders were also angry and cursing. They wanted to resolve the conflict amicably, but the Sword God crossed the line again and again!
“Patriarch, I believe that we should immediately call the Shaolin people for help. If we forgive the Sword God for such behavior, then how many more upstarts will decide to try their strength on us??”
“That's right. Patriarch, this cannot be forgiven! Are there no laws at all in this world? The Sword God is some kind of bandit! If he is not stopped, how will he be different from demons??”
“Yes, yes, they're right!”
The elders who opposed the conflict with the Five Mountain Swords now defected to the Shaolin side and loudly demanded revenge. The beaten and deeply offended family members aroused righteous anger in them. No one else insisted on a peaceful solution to the conflict.
The Patriarch smiled sourly.
Make the Sword God answer?
Yes, he would like that too. But who are they compared to this monster??
Suddenly a quiet creaking sound was heard and a young man came out of the estate in the distance, holding a young girl by the arm.
