Chapter 54: Brotherhood
Lian Yun and the others were unaware that the Sword God had just been reprimanded by Lin Nan. Seeing his somewhat melancholic expression, they were puzzled, but they still bowed and greeted, "We pay our respects to the Sword God."
"We pay our respects to Uncle Yi."
Dongfang Yi nodded, taking a good look at Lian Yun before turning his gaze to Mu Realm. With a kind smile, he said, "Still as messy as ever!"
This seemingly disdainful remark made Mu Realm's eyes redden slightly.
Having lost his parents at a young age, Mu Realm relied on their inheritance and the policies of the alliance to survive. Without a renowned master, he learned countless sword techniques by searching for various combat videos online.
Though it felt chaotic at times, it also gave him a sense of fulfillment; what mattered most was that he had gained knowledge.
However, he had always lived in seclusion and had not interacted with any famous figures or experts.
He did not know how he had caught the Sword God's attention, but he was aware that the Sword God had been watching him closely.
Otherwise, the Sword God would not have commented on his appearance, knowing that he rarely paid attention to his own image.
"Gold will shine in time, but I do not wish to take you as a disciple. Instead, I will secretly teach you a few sword techniques to give you some self-defense skills. Your sword path must be explored by yourself; create your own sword techniques."
Mu Realm immediately bowed deeply. He never expected to take on any famous master, but he needed to remember the Sword God's kindness.
At this moment, Dongfang Yi looked at Lian Yun and said, "The reason I didn't teach you sword techniques back then was twofold: first, your body had not fully matured yet; learning my sword would harm your foundation. Second, I did not want to turn you into someone else."
"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Yi!" Lian Yun bowed respectfully, his attitude very earnest.
The implication of not wanting to turn him into someone else meant that Dongfang Yi understood if he taught Lian Yun sword techniques, Lian Yun would undoubtedly master them!
However, the hidden meaning was that Lian Yun already possessed the reverse endowment of the Yin-Yang Stage, and his diligence set him apart from his peers. If he were to cultivate his swordsmanship, Lian Yun would give off an aura of being unattainable.
Inevitably, he would face assassination attempts from the Demon Clan, and the treachery of humanity would also be unavoidable.
Dongfang Yi never expected that even without imparting his sword techniques to Lian Yun, Lian Yun would still fall victim to the schemes of both the Demon Clan and the alliance.
He had once regretted not teaching Lian Yun his sword techniques, believing that if he had, Lian Yun would have lost much less.
But then he came to understand that it was a conspiracy aimed at Lian Yun; had Lian Yun been stronger back then, the disaster would have only been greater.
Dongfang Yi sighed silently and shook his head slightly. "Now, which sword technique do you wish to learn? I will teach you!"
"No need. I want to create a sword technique that even Uncle Yi couldn't come up with!" Lian Yun smiled lightly, his expression radiating sunshine.
"Hehe!" The refined Lin Nan suddenly chuckled mischievously, adding a unique flavor to the scene.
"The Sword God couldn't create it; what kind of sword technique do you think you can come up with?" Lin Nan asked curiously.
Lin Feiyu and the other four, along with Mu Realm, instantly turned into curious little children, their eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.
In response, Lian Yun smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing more than the Ten Thousand Sword Technique!"
"Ten Thousand Sword Technique?" The Six Sons of the Lin Family echoed in confusion, while Mu Realm remained silent.
They still didn't fully understand. It wasn't that they hadn't heard of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique; they simply couldn't grasp why the Sword God couldn't create it.
This showed that in the hearts of the people, the Sword God was truly regarded as a deity, capable of anything.
Yet the Sword God himself smiled kindly and said, "Perhaps anyone could casually create a sword technique and name it Ten Thousand Sword Technique. However, truly comprehending the essence of ten thousand swords is no easy task."
"However, it's one thing for Lian Yun not to learn other sword techniques, especially since you have already mastered Sword Intent. Judging by Nan's expression, you must have also created a formidable sword technique of your own. But Lian Yun, are you really not interested in learning the Sword Control Technique?"
"I want it! I want it! Uncle Yi, I want it!"
In an instant, Lian Yun transformed into a child, running to Dongfang Yi's side like a kid asking an elder for their favorite snack. She tugged at his sleeve, shaking it eagerly with a look of pure joy and anticipation.
The Sword Control Technique is the hallmark of the Sword God. While Sword Control flying is secondary, being able to kill from a thousand miles away is truly remarkable. This was the sword technique that Lian Yun had long coveted since her first encounter with the Sword God!
Looking at Lin Feiyu and the others, who were showing expressions of jealousy, one could only imagine how much the Sword Control Technique captivated people's hearts.
Dongfang Yi lightly tapped Lian Yun's forehead and chuckled, "You!"
A slight reprimand mixed with much affection!
More than anything, he sighed in admiration that Lian Yun still possessed such a genuine Childlike Heart.
"You and Mu Realm are both exceptional talents in swordsmanship that I have high hopes for. Instead of just meeting by chance, why not become sworn siblings?"
Lian Yun was taken aback. Having already received instruction in sword techniques, she was surprised that her Uncle Yi would propose such a suggestion. Her eyes lit up as she looked expectantly at the still bloodied Mu Realm.
Though she had six brothers from the Lin Family, she recognized Mu Realm first. Moreover, she had no true blood brothers or anyone who could be considered a close friend among outsiders.
Regardless of Mu Realm's background, the fact that he had caught the Sword God's attention assured Lian Yun that he must be a person of worth. Naturally, she was willing to become sworn siblings with Mu Realm.
Initially, Mu Realm felt a twinge of reluctance and even inferiority. Although he was determined to surpass Cloud Emperor, he never imagined that someone of Cloud Emperor's stature would be willing to become sworn siblings with someone like him from humble beginnings!
However, when he saw Lian Yun's expectant gaze, he felt his worldview shift.
To be honest, while he thought Lian Yun's selflessness was somewhat foolish, he respected those who were willing to put others before themselves, even if he would never do so himself.
Later, upon their meeting today, all the experiences led him to fully recognize Lian Yun, the Cloud Emperor, for who he truly was.
One thing to note is that although Lian Yun came from an exceptionally powerful family, like him, Mu Realm had also lost both parents.
However, despite forming a brotherhood with the Cloud Emperor, Mu Realm still felt somewhat unworthy.
Yet when he saw the Cloud Emperor's hopeful expression gradually turn to disappointment, he felt a pang of sympathy and instinctively nodded.
It was only when he saw the Cloud Emperor's face light up with joy that he realized he had already nodded, followed by a bitter smile. However, with his face covered in blood, this bitter expression went unnoticed by others.
Seeing Mu Realm smile as well made Lian Yun even happier.
"Brotherhood? Count me in!" Lin Nan said, blinking his eyes, casual yet sincere.
"Yes! With your pure heart, Nan, all you lack is a bit of opportunity. In the future, you may not fall short of Lian Yun and Mu Realm. If the three of us form a brotherhood, it could become a wonderful tale."
"Hehe!" Lin Nan scratched his head, appearing somewhat shy but also quite proud.
