He was very clear that Chen Yao was a Brilliant Sword Heart. When it came to matters related to swords, there was always a special connection. Liu Zhong was thinking whether Chen Yao had discovered the secret of the sword sheath.

"Since you obtained it from the Ancient Battlefield, then I would like to gamble my luck. I can't see anything right now, but I can't guarantee anything in the future. Afraid of being taken advantage of? Why don't I give it back to you and you can just give me four hundred thousand Spirit Stones? "

Liu Zhong's face turned green. This Chen Yao clearly knew that he didn't have four hundred thousand spiritual stones, wasn't he intentionally choking himself? However, from the looks of it, this was the first time that Chen Yao had seen the mysterious sword sheath. It was impossible for him to see through the mysteries of the sword sheath with a single glance.

"Chen Yao, our friendship has grown big. Next time, you won't have such good luck." As he spoke, Liu Zhong didn't forget to glare viciously at Liu Hong before he left.

After handing the three hundred thousand Spirit Stones collected by the disciples of the Liu Family to Chen Yao, Liu Hai left with his tail between his legs.

In this gamble, the Liu Family lost miserably.

Liu Zhong lost the mid-grade heaven-step sword armor and his prestige among the disciples of the Liu Family. Whether it was the loss of Liu Hong's life or the loss of several months of spirit stone resources, all these made the Liu Family Patriarch's position in the hearts of the disciples of the Liu Family drop significantly.

The disciples of the Liu Family that lost several months of spirit stone resources complained. However, this was the patriarch's decision. They had no way to resist.

On the other hand, the excited expressions of the other sword faction disciples were completely out of place.

Chen Yao was still holding the one million spirit stones that he had won from Liu Zhong.

He walked to the very front with great difficulty and then raised the Cosmic Bag in his hand.

"Here are a whole million spirit stones. According to everyone's bets, we'll split them double. If there's not enough, I, Chen Yao, will make up for it myself."

Hearing Chen Yao's words, those disciples who supported Chen Yao started to cheer excitedly.

After handing over the spirit stones to Jiang Sheng and the others for distribution, Chen Yao suddenly fainted from exhaustion.

However, she was stopped by Liu Hong, who carried her in his arms.

In front of a large crowd, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Yao was actually carried up by a woman. He was incomparably weak, and his pale face suddenly turned incomparably rosy.

She said weakly, "Liu Hong, you should put me down."

Liu Hong didn't seem to mind, "Now that I'm your woman, I'll take good care of you. I'll put you down, can you leave?"

Chen Yao rolled his eyes. He was speechless.

"Tell me, where do you live?"

Liu Hong carried Chen Yao and jumped off the arena. The sword faction disciples spontaneously opened up a path for them.

"Long live Chen Yao!"

"Liu Hong, this powerful red horse, has finally been subdued today."

Everyone was cheering and jumping with joy, and the entire viewing plaza was in an uproar.

In this place, other than Chen Yao, no one else could see the white smoke coming out from the Sword Faction disciples' heads and then merging into Chen Yao's body.

"It feels so good to be a hero."

Chen Yao muttered to himself and finally lost consciousness.

The sword faction experts on the arena stared in the direction that Liu Hong carried Chen Yao and remained silent.

Finally, a sword faction elder said, "Sect Master, may I ask if Chen Yao is someone with Brilliant Sword Heart?"

This protector asked everyone's thoughts. Although the Sword Faction disciples only felt that Chen Yao was very strong and couldn't see any other intentions, these King's Realm experts all had some experience.

Luo Tian pondered for a moment before saying, "Honestly speaking, Chen Yao actually learned the Prison Sword Technique from Elder Yu Xuan. In addition, the fusion of the Myriad Sword Sect and Prison Sword Technique was also created by the sword rain master's aunt. She then taught it to Chen Yao, all for the sake of the bet between Chen Yao and Liu Hong."

Yes, Luo Tian felt that for the time being, he couldn't reveal the secret that Chen Yao was a Brilliant Sword Heart. If this secret was exposed, Chen Yao would definitely be in danger, and with Chen Yao's current strength, he wouldn't be able to deal with such danger.

Elder Yuxuan understood that Luo Tian was trying to protect Chen Yao, so she nodded her head in agreement.

Hearing Luo Tian's words, the hearts of the elders and protectors all went cold.

Otherwise, how could Chen Yao be such a monster? All of this was a scheme against the Liu Family to suppress the Liu Family's arrogance in the sword faction.

Chen Yao was Luo Tian's and Jian Yu's spokesperson.

By letting Chen Yao destroy the Liu Family's foundation from the bottom, it could be said that Chen Yao's dantian being crippled was also a part of the plan.

Everyone had a strange expression on their faces.

If this was true, it meant that the Sect Leader was already prepared to take action against Liu Zhong and the Liu Family. Then, how would they stand?

Luo Tian carefully sized up everyone here. He also wanted to test the thoughts of these sword faction experts. If he really broke with the Liu Family, which side would they stand on?

"..."

The moonlight scattered all over the sword faction's mountains.

Don't underestimate Chen Yao's self-recovery ability. If it was anyone else, even if they were saints, who had suffered such heavy injuries as Chen Yao, they would not have moved as much as if they were dreaming.

Thus, Chen Yao's regenerative abilities were at least ten times stronger than others.

Just as Chen Yao opened his eyes and was about to get up, he saw Liu Hong, who was sitting blankly on the doorstep. Liu Hong had her arms crossed and was curled up into a ball as she stared at the pale moonlight in silence.

Looking at Liu Hong's expression, Chen Yao could not bear to see it at all. What should he do now? Tell her that he couldn't be with her because he already had two women and had a relationship with them? Then he drove her away.

In all honesty, if Liu Hong was a bad person today, he could have killed her with one strike. She would be the great hero of the Liu Family then. How could she end up like this all by herself?

Chen Yao knew very well that all of Liu Hong's misfortune and suffering had been brought about by him.

Therefore, Chen Yao had no idea how to face Liu Hong and talk to Liu Hai.

"Don't be sad, just treat me as your family from now on, right?" If that was the case, it would be impossible for him to say it.

"Liu Hong, look at the bet between us. It was just a whim of mine, why don't you leave now?" This was even more incorrect.

The only thing Chen Yao could do now was to remain silent.

He quietly laid on the bed and closed his eyes, not saying a word.

At this time, Liu Hong glanced at the lying Chen Yao and said, "You're awake?" Can you talk to me for a bit? "

Chen Yao was afraid that he would speak to Liu Hong now. Thus, he braced himself and kept quiet.

"I heard you never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep? Don't you agree? " Liu Hong's tone suddenly sounded a lot more sorrowful, and the aura of loneliness was very strong.

Chen Yao knew that it would be meaningless if he continued acting.

Taking a deep breath, he got off the bed and walked to Liu Hong's side. He sat beside Liu Hong on the threshold and whispered to her …

"Tell me, and I'll listen."

Under the moonlight, a man and woman were whispering.

Not far from a big tree, there was a young girl who was still crying.

Luo Mo was naturally the one who was secretly watching Chen Yao from far away.

In fact, after she left the Life and Death Arena in tears, she had returned very quickly. Although she was angry at Chen Yao, could she really disregard his life and death?

Clearly, Luo Mo couldn't do that.

After returning to the square of the Life and Death Stage, Luo Mo hid in a corner and watched the fight. When Chen Yao was injured, she felt as if a knife was stabbing into her heart.

She also knew that Chen Yao and Su Yiyi had some gratitude towards each other. Of course, this was at least what Chen Yao had explained to them.

From what Luo Mo knew, she was the one at fault. She misunderstood Chen Yao's relationship with Su Yiyi, and she even spoke harshly to Chen Yao. That was why she felt guilty and didn't have the face to see Chen Yao again.

He didn't even have the most basic trust in him, so he could only sneak over here to see him.

When he saw Chen Yao and Liu Hong sitting together on the doorstep and talking, she suddenly felt even more upset.

The little girl's thoughts were hard to guess, but there was definitely some jealousy and it was serious.

In Luo Mo's heart, Chen Yao was already treated like a precious treasure. Whenever a woman was together with Chen Yao, she would feel jealous or even angry, especially when Liu Hong publicly announced that she was Chen Yao's woman in the arena today.

However, he had been unreasonable with Chen Yao. Right now, it was like he was being stuck on the wrong page. How could he be qualified to care about Chen Yao's matters?

Tears streaming down her face, she left while crying. However, she also swore in her heart that she would become more outstanding than any woman by Chen Yao's side.

Whether or not Chen Yao was truly related to Su Yiyi, whether or not Chen Yao would really accept Liu Hong, she, Luo Mo, would become more outstanding than them. She knew Chen Yao was someone who wanted to accomplish great things, so she had to make herself stronger.

This infatuation caused Luo Mo to become the first female sect master in the sword sect's history a few years later. After the sword rain, there would be another female sword immortal.

"..."

"Chen Yao, do you think I'm rather pitiful?" Liu Hong suddenly glared intently at Chen Yao.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yao did not dare to look Liu Hong in the eye. When he met Liu Hong's gaze, he suddenly drooped his head and asked, "How could this be?"

Liu Hong declined to comment and continued on her own.

"Actually, you don't even know my identity. Other than being the niece of Inner Court Master Liu Hai, I am also the current head of the Liu Family, one of the nine great princes of the Divine Medicine Dynasty, the only daughter of King Shu, Liu Zhi."

Hearing Liu Hong's words, Chen Yao suddenly raised his head and asked, "You are the only daughter of the King of Shu, Liu Zhi?"

That meant Liu Hong was the most respected direct disciple of the Liu Family's younger generation. How could the Liu Family's patriarch treat Liu Hong so differently, and Liu Hai and Liu Hong were, after all, his nieces. Why didn't they do anything but watch Liu Hong die in his hands?

There had to be something behind this anomaly. However, it was related to Chen Yao's personal matters. Thus, Chen Yao did not dare to ask about it.

Chen Yao did not ask about it, but Liu Hong did.

"Heh, you must think that the Liu Family's behavior is weird today, right?" Suddenly, a sad look appeared on Liu Hong's face. "Because my mother is a prostitute."

Chen Yao was surprised for a moment. On one hand, he was surprised that Liu Hong's mother was a prostitute. On the other hand, he was even more surprised at Liu Hong's trust in him.

Could it be that Liu Hong regarded her as someone she could rely on?

Liu Hong continued to mutter to herself, "My mother was the most famous beauty in Changan City of the Divine Radiant Empire, the Drunken Dream Tower. She was the number one courtesan in the land of the snow and wind, and there was an unending stream of suitors.

My father's background was also not good. Although he was a disciple of the Liu Family, which was a large family in Sichuan, he was also born into a concubine and had a poor talent, so he was not popular in the family. My grandmother was also humiliated to death by my grandfather's wife.

"At that time, he had no money, and couldn't even eat. He was like a beggar, then he met my mother, and with her status, she actually dared to like my mother and confess to her. She didn't even think about who my mother was back then, and who he was, my mother naturally rejected him."

At this point, Liu Hong suddenly smiled through her tears.

Chen Yao was also captivated by this story. This Liu Zhi seemed to have some sort of story behind him.

He quietly listened to Chen Yao's story.

"But one of my father's biggest characteristics is his thick skin. He shamelessly chased after my mother. He also didn't have any money, so he was beaten up several times by the people from the Intoxicated Dream Pavilion."

He told my mother that he was going to take the martial arts exam, and my mother thought it was funny, so she agreed to him. If he can really take the martial arts exam, then I'm willing to marry him.

From then on, my father never went to look for my mother. Even my mother thought that my father changed his heart because he couldn't take it anymore.

She didn't know that my father trained wholeheartedly for her.

In the first year, my father didn't even make it into the top 1,000.

The next year, my father took five hundred places.

The third year, the third year my father was in the top 100.

In the fourth year, my father was in the top 10.

In the fifth year, my father won first place and became famous in Chang'an City.

On the day that I seized the top scorer and paid my respect to the Fourth Level Warrior, my slovenly father came to the Intoxicated Dream Pavilion in a glorious manner. He said that he wanted me to marry my mother.

My mom was a bit confused. She didn't think that when my dad said he wanted to take the martial arts exam, marrying her wasn't a joke. It was a dream he made from his heart.

For this day, my father has been beaten half to death and trampled on by others countless times. But my father has been working hard all this time.

But my mother couldn't promise my father, or even threaten him with death.

Of course, with my father's current identity, I don't know how many people in the world want to marry him. My mother is a woman of the world, and having someone who loves her is naturally a good thing to rely on.

However, five years later, my mother was already old. Although she had always been a prostitute, she was still a prostitute. She could not let my father bear the blame for her infamy.

My father didn't force my mother, but continued to pursue her in silence. Although they weren't married, they were together.

My father's name is famous in Tai An city, so the Liu Family came to find me. In order to bring my father back to the Liu Family, they promised that my father would personally behead the one who forced my grandmother to live.

Although he despised the Liu Family, he knew very well that if the Liu Family did not hand over that person voluntarily, it would be difficult for him to kill that person even when he was a semi-sage expert. Therefore, my father agreed to it.

After that, the Liu Family started to instruct my father to control the troops and horses, and began to fight everywhere. Thus, my father became the tool for the Liu Family to occupy the secular power.

In just five short years, my father had become a great general. He had the title of undefeatable in the Golden Spear, and his cultivation had also risen to the Emperor Realm. Furthermore, in the palace coup ten years ago, my father first invaded the Imperial City and made meritorious deeds for the new Emperor.

And on that night when the Divine Radiant Empire was overturning the sky, the entire Changan City fell into a bloody mess. My mother also died from an accident during that riot.

I was lucky enough to escape this calamity and my father brought me back to the Liu Clan of Sichuan.

Originally, the family didn't agree, because I was born a prostitute. But my dad was tough. He didn't even hesitate to leave the Liu Family once again.

The Liu Family finally compromised.

Afterwards, my father became the patriarch of the Liu Family, but my father did not live well at all. Several Patriarchs kept pointing fingers at my father, and they started to interfere in the matter of the Shu Family.

My father was willing to tolerate it for me.

"After I entered the Liu Family, all I suffered were your supercilious eyes and insults. Can you imagine a ten-year-old girl being insulted and bullied all day?"

Liu Hong stared at Chen Yao with tears in his eyes.
