Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 1105: Chapter 72: An Zhisu’s Inner Struggle_2

“What is there to be unwilling about?” Chen Guanshui said desolately, “I have only three requests.”

“First, after I die, please help them restore the heavens, share this merit, as my compensation to you all.”

“Second, when you return, do not blame yourself, do not feel ashamed, and do not regret. If I resisted, you would have no chance to kill me; it’s because I am willing to face death myself, the fault is not yours.”

An Zhisu stared at him in a daze.

“Third.” Chen Guanshui closed his eyes, “Admit my mistakes for me to the master.”

“I joined the Qingluo Peak, though as the master’s disciple, I failed to bring glory to the sect, leaving a mess for him when he emerged from seclusion.”

“When he became the Sect Leader, I should have assisted him in managing the sect, but in the end, in order to mend the heavens and save the world, I betrayed Shushan, deeply hurting his heart.”

“Please, Senior Sister, cut off my head, and take it back to present to the master, and say it is the unfilial disciple Ling Yunpo, who feels burdened by guilt, willing to offer his head to the master for redemption!”

“Why to such an extent…” An Zhisu sighed heavily, discarding the object in her hand.

Chen Guanshui quickly cast his gaze at the object on the ground.

Hmm, a sword sheath?

Not a Flying Sword, but a sword sheath? So, Senior Sister never intended to kill me from the start, she merely held the sheath as a pretense of holding a sword to gather courage?

Before he had a chance to relax, he was embraced from behind by An Zhisu.

“Junior Brother.” Senior Sister An’s voice was also choked with emotion, “I’m sorry for you…”

Chen Guanshui: ???

Wait, how did Senior Sister wrong me? Senior Sister, weren’t you kept in the dark from beginning to end?

He was somewhat puzzled, only hearing An Zhisu sobbing again:

“I… actually had a vague sense before, that it seemed Junior Brother had something on his mind, yet I never bothered to ask, instead only concerned with minor matters like cultivation progress.”

“If I had realized earlier the burden weighing on Junior Brother, perhaps thought of some way…”

No no no, Senior Sister, with your mind, you couldn’t have come up with a solution anyway. Speaking of which, what is pressing down on my back? Isn’t it a bit too heavy?

Chen Guanshui was not some naive fledgling, he quickly realized what that full heat was, just about to struggle, but An Zhisu held him even tighter, sobbing said:

“Junior Brother, you formed Daoist Companions with them, yet never confessed your feelings to me, is it because you thought Senior Sister couldn’t help you?”

…My neck is already completely embraced by her, right now if she just exerted a bit of force, she could twist it off immediately.

Quickly assessing the situation, Chen Guanshui didn’t dare to lie, he calmly and honestly said:

“Forming Daoist Companions with Qiong Ying of Kunlun, initially was due to the Xu Family of Southern Heaven arranging the match, with master’s personal decision.”

“Marrying Dong You of Penglai, at first was also because Elder Shi Ding had fallen, and the Heavenly Craft Workshop urgently needed support.”

“But I cannot deceive Senior Sister, I do have true feelings with the two of them… And my feelings for Senior Sister are no less than for them.”

“I only thought back then, sooner or later I would have to betray the sect to mend the heavens and save the world, if I also formed a Daoist Companionship with Senior Sister, where would Senior Sister’s reputation stand? But if there were no Daoist Companion relationship, even if rumors spread in Shushan, as long as Senior Sister killed me after mending the heavens, the waves would naturally die down.”

“Why are you so foolish?” An Zhisu heartbrokenly released his neck, turned him around, cupped his cheeks in her hands, and with tears streaming down her face, said, “If anything, it is the sect, the master, and I who have wronged you.”

Uh… Chen Guanshui puzzled asked:

“But after all, I betrayed the sect…”

“Never stood against Shushan, how could it be called betrayal?” An Zhisu wiped her tears, “Senior Sister won’t hide it from you, Shushan still only says you are out traveling, not accusing you of betrayal…”

Of course, it can’t be openly said that the Tai Yin Sword Master betrayed the sect, to be laughed at by the world, right?

Chen Guanshui continued to say:

“I also stole the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone…”

“The immortals have said, if you are to mend the heavens and save the world, then Shushan has no need for the fragment to safeguard the sect.” An Zhisu with her tear-streaked face, simply shook her head, “Moreover, you also repaired the Demon Locking Tower’s restrictions.”

Chen Guanshui grew more confused, asked again:

“But I hid from Senior Sister that I had a Daoist Companion in another sect…”

“That indeed made Senior Sister very angry.” An Zhisu gritted her teeth, closing her tear-reddened eyes, “But… But what could be done? At that time, you were a spy, and some things you had no choice but to do…”

So, do I really have no moral wrongdoing?

Chen Guanshui momentarily felt such an illusion, but he soon realized it was Senior Sister’s instinctive bias erupting again, desperately trying to find rationality for him.

Thus, he gently embraced Senior Sister An in return, saying softly:

“Senior Sister doesn’t need to excuse me. I know in my heart what I’ve done.”

“Although Senior Sister is unwilling to kill me right now, it doesn’t mean my actions deserve forgiveness. Once I complete the Heaven-Mending, I will spend the rest of my life repaying these sins…”

“Which means.” An Zhisu’s eyes brightened, “Junior Brother, after mending the heavens, you won’t ascend immediately, right?”

Chen Guanshui was immediately taken aback.

Though he didn’t answer, merely being stunned had already provided the answer.

Afraid he might backtrack, An Zhisu quickly forced a smile and interrupted:

“Let’s not talk about that. I see Qiong Ying and Dong You are worried about the melting of the Heaven-Mending Stone, right? Actually, Senior Sister, I recently acquired the Sun True Obscure Sword, and it said if the Heaven-Mending Stone is moved to the leaking point, it’s willing to help provide heat to aid its melting…”

What, the Sun True Obscure Sword? Chen Guanshui’s heart was shocked.

The Sun True Obscure Sword detached from An Zhisu’s body, buzzing and saying:

“That’s right, although I’m honored as the Fuxi Divine Sword, I shouldn’t help without compensation, but considering you’ve taken care of Summoning Sword for so many years, I’ll lend you a hand… Wait a minute, what’s with your attitude?”

Only to see Chen Guanshui showing no sign of joy, but rather a look of extreme anxiety, as if faced with a thorny problem.

What was on his mind at this moment was, of course, not “Great, the last difficulty is resolved,” nor “Oh no, I should’ve let Liuli and the others stay,” but “How come you’re here? How come you’re allowed to be here?”

Weren’t you sealing the Heavenly Chasm with True Fire in the Southern Border to prevent a Demon Race invasion?

With Chen Guanshui’s intelligence, he was momentarily stunned but quickly connected the dots:

The last Sun Sword Master had obsessions, hence his spirit didn’t disperse, confining the Sun True Obscure Sword to the Southern Border to seal the Heavenly Chasm.

Now that the Sun True Obscure Sword is freed, it means the last Sun Sword Master has rested… How did he rest? Who made him rest?

His obsession was the safety of his wife and daughter unknown, but in reality, his wife Yin Xiaojing had already passed away, and his daughter, Long Hu’s mother, had also long died.

The only one who knows these things, besides me… Isn’t it just the little fox?

The little fox came looking!

Detecting An Zhisu still watching him, Chen Guanshui quickly masked his emotions and said sternly:

“Senior Sister, the Sun True Obscure Sword is a treasure of the Human Race. You haven’t refined it into a Life-bound Sword Artifact, how can you bring it out? At Shushan…”

Oh, so that’s what he’s worried about! Before An Zhisu could speak, the Sun True Obscure Sword began laughing heartily:

“That’s right, but you should also know that since I am a treasure of the Human Race, a mere Shushan can’t restrict my comings and goings!”

“Junior Brother.” An Zhisu also said with a bitter smile, “It has a mutual perception with the Summoning Sword. Without bringing it, I wouldn’t have smoothly found you.”

Ah, so it was Summoning Sword always hiding from me!

Chen Guanshui became furious. Since Summoning Sword could perceive the True Obscure Sword, why didn’t it tell me?

If it had told me earlier, I could have known about True Obscure Sword breaking free, and known the little fox came too, I could have timely…

Seems like it wouldn’t change much?

Forget it, anyway, Summoning Sword withheld the information, must question it!

“Sword Master, you cannot blame me for this!” Summoning Sword quickly defended, “We can only sense each other’s general range, not the specific distance, and the closer we are, the more blurred the perception.”

“So in my perception, its position was always to the east. Who knew whether it was in the Southern Border region or had come to the East Sea?”

“Shut up.” Chen Guanshui reprimanded it, “We’ll settle this later!”
