After listening to the little girl's words, Su Chen let out a sigh of relief.

Indeed, the temperament of this Sword Spirit was completely different.

The Yellow Sword Spirit tested Su Chen by cutting him with a sword.

But the Xuan Sword Spirit asked Su Chen how many stars were in the sky.

An incorrect answer could be life-threatening.

Fortunately, he was clever.

He passed the Xuan Sword Spirit's test.

After all, who the heck knows how many stars are in the sky?

"Thank you, Senior Xuan Sword," Su Chen respectfully said to the little girl.

Although this little girl seemed delicate and easy to topple.

In reality, she was a terrifying existence.

Previously, inside the Yellow Stele, Su Chen already felt the terror of the Sword Spirit.

The Yellow Sword Spirit's strength was close to the Human King level.

Then the Xuan Sword Spirit, being more advanced than the Yellow Sword Spirit,

was likely at the Human King Level directly.

Su Chen could indeed contend with a Human King by going all out.

But that didn't mean he could defeat a Human King.

What's more, within the Stele, who knows what unique abilities these Sword Spirits might have?

"Thank me? What are you thanking me for?" the little girl tilted her head and asked.

"Thank you, Senior Sword Spirit, for letting me pass the test!" Su Chen replied.

"I let you pass the test? When did I let you pass the test?" the little girl said sarcastically.

Su Chen: "..."

"I just randomly asked you a question!" the little girl said arrogantly, with her hands on her hips.

Su Chen: "..."

This is awkward as hell.

He thought.

Answering the little girl's question meant passing the test.

Damn it...

Wouldn't that mean?

If he answered wrong,

he would be doomed before the test even started?

It seems the Yellow Sword Spirit was right.

None of these Sword Spirits are an easy mark.

However, now is not the time to dwell on this.

He must pass the test quickly.

After all, Su Chen was short on time.

He had to master the Earth Sword to open the Dragon Breaking Stone.

Yet his goal was not just to master the Earth Sword.

He planned to also learn the Heavenly Sword.

After all, it was the strongest Sword Skill left by Dugu Qiubai.

And the Heavenly Sword should be the strongest among the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Four Swords.

If he couldn't learn it, it would be a massive regret.

Moreover, his goal was not merely to open up the Dragon Breaking Stone.

Outside the Dragon Breaking Stone, there's a Shura King.

Learning the Heavenly Sword would give him a better chance.

Thinking of this, Su Chen took a deep breath and cupped his hands towards the little girl, saying: "Then, please, Senior Sword Spirit, start the trial."

"What? You're in such a hurry?" The little girl pouted.

"I have urgent matters to attend to, I hope Senior Sword Spirit can oblige!" Su Chen said earnestly.

The little girl squinted at Su Chen, grinning mischievously: "You have urgent matters? I don't, so come, accompany me to look at the moon!"

Su Chen's face twitched.

If those outside could wait, accompanying this little girl to look at the moon wouldn't be so bad.

The little girl was very cute.

She had two pigtails on either side of her head.

The pigtails were very long, almost touching the ground.

She wore a black short skirt outfit.

Looking like a two-dimensional girl.

But now, where did Su Chen have the time to watch the moon with her?

Who knows how long she'd want to look?

"Please, Senior Sword Spirit, do me this favor." Su Chen bowed again to the little girl.

"Don't keep calling me Senior, this lady has a name, I'm called Moon Slash!"

"Please, Senior Moon Slash, do me this favor!" Su Chen quickly said.

Little girl: "..."

"You're so boring! I'm not talking to you anymore!" The little girl turned her head, seeming to ignore Su Chen.

Su Chen dared not push too hard.

Having obtained the Yellow Sword.

He already understood.

Learning these four swordsmanships didn't mean truly practicing them.

Rather, it required the recognition of these Four Sword Spirits.

In other words.

If this little girl acknowledged him.

He could immediately learn the Xuan Sword.

If this little girl did not acknowledge him.

He wouldn't stand a chance in a lifetime.

He thought about it and said: "Alright, I'll watch the moon with you."

With that, he stood next to the little girl.

Looking up at the massive moon in the sky.

The little girl immediately beamed with joy, hugging Su Chen's arm, her eyes turning into crescent moons.

And also looked up at the moon in the sky.

Despite Su Chen's anxiety.

He patiently watched the moon with the little girl.

A few minutes later, the little girl turned her head and asked Su Chen, "Aren't you in a hurry?"

"Yes, I am, my many friends are waiting for me, if I don't quickly return, they might die." Su Chen replied.

"And yet you're here watching the moon with me?" The little girl pouted.

"I promised you, after all." Su Chen smiled.

The little girl smiled and said no more.

Then, the two watched the moon together.

After about an hour, the little girl released Su Chen's arm and said softly: "Thank you, all these years, it's been just me watching the moon alone..."

Why did Su Chen want to watch the moon with the little girl?

It was because, earlier in the Yellow Stele,

the Yellow Sword Spirit once said.

He had waited here for too long.

It should have existed ever since Dugu Qiubai left the Sword Tomb.

The time was at least more than a thousand years old.

In fact, death is not the scariest thing.

Sometimes, loneliness is scarier than death.

Just like Hua Qianyu once told Su Chen.

The world is not without things that scare her.

What she feared most is loneliness.

Although Sword Spirits are not human.

Yet once they possess intelligence,

they can understand what loneliness is.

And it's a thousand years of loneliness.

A thousand years of loneliness.

It's terrifying.

Enough to drive anyone insane.

Su Chen could feel, as the little girl said that all these years, she was the only one watching the moon.

How sad that was.

At first, Su Chen felt somewhat anxious inside.

But now he became calm.

If he were to experience a thousand years of loneliness.

No, perhaps not even a thousand, just a hundred or even decades, he would have crumbled.

The two said no more.

Both looked up at the moon in the sky.

"I really want to go out with you, but if I go out, I will fall asleep and won't even see the moon in the sky..." The little girl said faintly.

Su Chen felt a slight ache in his heart.

Indeed.

A wait of a thousand years.

Solely waiting for an inheritance.

But once the inheritance becomes successful.

The Sword Spirit will fall asleep again.

How sad is that.

He was the only person in these thousand years who spoke with the Sword Spirit.

"But if I don't go out with you, won't your friends all die?" The little girl looked at Su Chen.

"Yes." Su Chen answered truthfully.

If he couldn't learn Dugu Qiubai's swordsmanship.

He wouldn't be able to open the Dragon Breaking Stone.

Everyone would die inside the Sword Tomb.
