-Meet...

—So that means Mu Xianjun wants to talk to me...

—That means Mu Xianjun is still willing to talk to me...

—Wait for me... Mu Xianjun...

—I'll be there soon!

Chapter 202 The Girl You Like

The figure in pure white turned the corner and soon appeared in a corridor.

But the room where the line of sight was focused was wide open, and it seemed as if the people inside had walked out of the room.

Despite thinking this way, Ayaka still chose to walk towards the room.

As expected, the room was empty.

Just as Linghua was wondering where Mu Xianjun had gone, she seemed to have thought of something and quickly walked in a certain direction.

This isn't Inazuma, but Ayaka deliberately chose an inn that resembles Kamisato Yashiki.

There is a pond, an artificial hill, and many, many fish swimming in the pond.

Although it's not Inazuma's carp...

However, Mu Xian really enjoys using small stones as bait to tease the fish.

The eaves of the corridor faded from Linghua's sight, and then the sunlight fell on the artificial hill and the pond.

That familiar person was standing not far from the artificial hill, his figure dressed in a single layer of clothing with the silent sword tucked beside him.

Without making any feeding motions, Mu Xian was holding a burning straw figure in his hand.

The flames gradually spread within the straw man's body, eventually engulfing it.

Linghua couldn't see Mu Xian's expression, but she could see him throw away the straw figure in his hand.

The flickering flames gradually disappeared from Mu Xian's face, and Ling Hua saw Mu Xian turn around.

As before, Mu Xian's expression was somewhat indifferent, but Ling Hua sensed a change in him.

A ripple spread across the water's surface, and the silent Mu Xian pulled out the silent Shan beside him and threw it at Ling Hua.

The sudden, unspoken kindness startled Ayaka, who hurriedly caught the scabbard.

At the same time, Mu Xian's voice rang out.

"This is the knife you gave me, isn't it?"

"Now I'm giving it back to you."

—Give it back to me?

—What does this mean?

Before Ayaka could figure out what was going on, she instinctively used her scabbard to block the wooden sword that had suddenly returned.

But the unexpected force caused Ayaka to stumble back several steps before regaining her balance.

His gaze passed over Bu Yanshan and landed on Mu Xian, only to see the blade of the wooden knife deflected and placed in front of Mu Xian's line of sight.

"Still the same as before..."

"I won, so we have absolutely no connection now."

Whether you live or die is none of your business.

Her words were completely flat and even, yet they made Linghua's pupils shrink suddenly.

She wanted to say something, but then she saw Mu Xian swing his wooden sword again.

In the rush, Linghua blocked Mu Xian's attack and took a moment to look at Mu Xian.

"Mu Xianjun..."

Before he could finish speaking, another blade flashed.

The continuous attacks caused Ayaka to lose her balance briefly, and she took a few steps back without regaining her footing.

She slumped to the ground, looked up, and saw the tip of the wooden sword pointing directly at her.

"The eldest daughter of the Kamisato family shouldn't be like this."

"Even if it's a real sword, consider it a chance I'm giving you."

"Hurry up and draw your sword, I still have some things to do..."

Mu Xian was facing away from the sunlight, so no one could see his expression, but Linghua could hear the indifference in Mu Xian's words.

However, she didn't want to draw her sword, didn't want to fight Mu Xian, and didn't want to... bear the consequences of losing...

The outstretched hand tried to grasp Mu Xian's hand holding the knife, its blue pupils reflecting a hint of crystalline light.

"Mu Xianjun...wasn't that dance beautiful?"

"I was dancing very seriously..."

The cicadas started chirping at some point, their voices rising and falling. Ayaka tried to make the same expression as before.

You back then... you back then...

"You must have been watching closely back then!"

Mu Xian did not answer, even though Ling Hua was expecting a response from him.

"There's no need to say anything more."

Mu Xian said, "In my previous life, I said these words to myself... which can be considered as giving myself a chance."

"but now..."

Mu Xian closed his eyes, but quickly opened them again: "Who knows if this is true or false?"

"Fake? How could it be fake?!"

"Mu Xian-jun... I really like Mu Xian-jun..."

"I like him so much that I want to be with Mu Xianjun forever..."

"I want to travel to so many places with Mu Xian-jun..."

"I want to have Mu Xianjun's child..."

"I really like it..."

Aya tightly gripped Mu Xian's hand that was holding the knife, and she wanted to use her other hand to hold that hand as well.

Before she could make any move, she discovered that Mu Xian had already pulled his hand away from hers.

Just like before, Mu Xian won't believe Ling Hua's words.

I can't believe that Ayaka really likes me...

Each deception gradually caused Mu Xian to lose trust in her.

I don't believe Ayaka's claims of liking her, nor do I believe any of her expressions.

Even though she kept saying she liked it... even though it was what she called "having children"...

All of this, perhaps, is simply for the purpose of binding oneself to the Kamiri family...

After all... these siblings would do anything for the Kamisato family.

In his previous life, Mu Xian was willing to believe Ling Hua's words, even though she never showed him any emotion.

In this life, Mu Xian doesn't feel he has anything left to support his belief in Ling Hua...

However, Mu Xian was unwilling to listen to Ling Hua's words, which were of dubious veracity.

He simply looked at the silent benevolence in Linghua's hand, then slowly pulled it out and placed it in front of Linghua.

This is your last chance.

Mu Xian spoke up: "Defeat me, or cut the wooden sword in my hand in half..."

"I will do one more thing for you, and trust you again without expecting anything in return."

The intense battle had diminished Bu Yanshan's former sharpness, but it was still more than capable of cutting through ordinary wooden swords.

Mu Xian's words made Ling Hua look at the famous sword.

The metal of the blade reflected everything around it, but Ayaka seemed to see two different futures reflected in it.

One is the future where two people who were once close gradually drift apart.

Another one... Ayaka saw herself wearing a white kimono, her face full of anticipation...

—I'm looking forward to it, how could I not be...?

—That's something I've always wanted to do!

—That was...that was something that was destined to happen.

Ayaka didn't know how she managed to wield that famous sword.

Holding the knife, she vaguely saw Mu Xian walking towards her not far away.

Just like that boy who stared at me with such resentment, complaining about my poor swordsmanship...

At that moment, the boy slowly walked towards himself...

Back then, he had dazzling blond hair, and the weather was the same as it is now.

At that time, he said...

"Miss Kamisato, there's no need to mention your surname. You can call me Mu Xian..."

"Nice to meet you, please enlighten me..."

—Really...

—Things are completely different now than they were back then...

—Clearly...clearly, I worked so hard to become the kind of person Mu Xian-jun likes...
