296, you should think carefully, by accepting this award, you will permanently turn into a daughter【Da Zhang】_1

Chen Xin was momentarily startled before she hurriedly explained, "The Sect Master is so tiny, I'm not tired holding her, don't worry."

Is this really a question of whether or not I'm tired?

Gu Rong felt his brain freeze for a moment, at a loss for how to retort.

"Come, Sect Master."

Chen Xin smiled as she picked up Miss Ning, who promptly wrapped her arms around Chen Xin's neck, her beautiful eyes slightly startled.

"Uncle Jian..."

"It's okay, Sect Master, I'm not tired."

"No, your heartbeat is so fast, are you feeling unwell?"

Chen Xin suddenly stiffened, panicked for a moment, then quickly offered a forced smile as he explained:

"Ah... I, well, I'm getting older, and sometimes just bending over can make me dizzy and increase my heartbeat, it's normal, normal..."

Gu Rong, standing below, watched Chen Xin with disdain, feeling something wasn't right; this old sly dog hadn't been normal lately.

He would occasionally stand there with a silly smile, and he had recently become very gentle, unlike his previous aloof demeanor, that is, when he was in front of the Sect Master.

Something's definitely not right!

After bringing the adorable Sect Master onto the stage, Chen Xin looked around but hesitated for a moment.

He said with a troubled look to Lin Yi, "Senior Lin Yi, the Sect Master has injured her foot, and I really don't feel at ease letting her stand, I'm afraid her injury might worsen. Do you think I could hold her while attacking?"

Lin Yi: ?

Gu Rong: ?

You're not right!

Lin Yi had just felt that the atmosphere between Chen Xin and this Miss Ning was a bit odd, and now he was beginning to notice a hint of something.

Chen Xin was so caring towards Miss Ning, could it be...

He was coveting Miss Ning's position as Sect Master?

Ah, just kidding.

Could it be that Chen Xin had fallen for the female version of Ning Fengzhi?!

Lin Yi frowned slightly, that thought crossing his mind, and his gaze towards the two suddenly turned strange.

"Can't you just let her sit on the ground?"

Lin Yi looked at him expressionlessly.

"The Sect Master is a girl, it wouldn't be very elegant, right?"

Lin Yi: "..."

I'm done.

Indeed, since Ning Fengzhi had actively requested to tie her hair into pigtails, her perception of her gender seemed to have changed as well.

Otherwise, how could a man over fifty years old possibly accept being held so closely by another man?

Momentarily, Miss Ning wrapped in Chen Xin's arms didn't seem uncomfortable at all, even using her large, cute eyes to curiously observe Chen Xin multiple times.

But...

"How will you attack while holding her?"

Lin Yi asked about the part he didn't understand.

"Sword Spirit can also use my Martial Soul and soul skills. He can initiate the attacks while I hold the Sect Master, and she can provide support from within my embrace with the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda."

Chen Xin said with a smile.

Damn, this is getting romantic... As a single man, Lin Yi felt like he was being force-fed dog food.

"Damn it, Your Majesty, don't stop me!"

Gu Rong said furiously from below.

He suddenly turned around strangely and asked, "Your Majesty, why aren't you stopping me?"

Emperor Xueye, confused: "Didn't you say not to stop? So, should I stop you or not?"

"Stop."

Emperor Xueye immediately stepped in front of Gu Rong, "Bone Douluo, don't be impulsive!"

"How can I not be impulsive?! It's just an attack, what is Sword Dust Heart trying to show off?! That's the Sect Master we're talking about! A crazy man!"

"But you can't be impulsive!"

...

At this moment, with a beauty in his arms, Chen Xin seemed to automatically block out everything around him.

He suddenly felt that his current situation was somewhat wonderful.

It was even more wonderful than those moments he spent alone in a secluded room, immersed in comprehending the sword.

It was as if the enlightenment of the sword was not as joyful as the girl smiling at him from within his arms.

Chen Xin didn't know what was happening to him.

He had previously been disinterested in any woman, his daily tasks were pursuing the extremes of the sword and ensuring the safety of the Sect Master.

His father had lost his temper several times over his aversion to women, worrying about the Chen Family having no descendants, but Chen Xin never concerned himself with such matters.

Now he realized he might just have not met the right person.

"Gan Jiang!"

"Present!"

A red light flew out from Chen Xin, transforming into an armored man.

Gan Jiang turned and gave a respectful bow to his master.

Chen Xin raised his sword finger: "Seven Kills unsheathed!"

The white longsword emitted a sharp hum, then spun towards Gan Jiang in midair, its hilt firmly grasped in Gan Jiang's hand.

"Seven treasures turn out the Glazed Tower!"

Miss Ning cried out, a burst of dazzling seven-colored radiance blossomed from her hands, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda spinning into the air.

"One for strength, two for speed, three for soul!"

Three total boost rings landed on Gan Jiang, and at the same time, Chen Xin's dark sixth soul skill gradually rose from his body.

He chanted the soul skill name, but the actual attack was performed by Gan Jiang!

"Myriad Swords Return to Origin!"

Gan Jiang raised his sword finger, and the white longsword soared, multiplying into countless white sword shadows in midair, their tips all aimed at Lin Yi's direction, and each blade emitted a joyous hum under the enhancement of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower.

The cooperation between Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin had already possessed a tacit understanding spanning decades, as if their soul skills were intricately familiar with each other.

Gan Jiang aimed his sword at Lin Yi!

"Whoosh!"

All the white sword shadows shot toward Lin Yi at that instant, the air filled with a sharp aura and the sound of sword ringing filled the ears.
