Immortal Chef
Bai Ye must've returned straight to his room, since I didn't see any sign of him in the garden on my way back. I was slightly relieved. With his sharp observance, he might be able to figure out what I had just read by simply looking at the expression on my face.
I set Twin Stars down on the table in my room and stared at it for a little while, unsure what to think. When I first received the swords from Bai Ye, I had thought of it as nothing more than a generous gift from a master to a disciple. A precious one at that, of course, but I hadn't expected any of these that I would come to learn later. Its ability to compensate for my spiritual root, its bond with my power, its demonic past … And the more I knew, the more mysterious things started to seem.
What else was there that Bai Ye felt so reluctant about telling me? Had Twin Stars really wreaked some kind of havoc in its earlier days?
