"Alright, alright, Yunli, calm down. None of the craftsmen from the Crafts Bureau are missing. There are only a few people who could have come into contact with the Lone Cloud Sword, and the most suspicious among them are naturally those who are hostile to it."

Huaiyan comforted Yunli, saying that she had gotten angry too early and there were more things to make her angry later.

"Who...me?"

Yun Li was about to ask a question, but she quickly realized that the person here who hated that sword the most was none other than herself.

"Who told you to shout so loudly in Sichen Palace? Everyone who was watching knew you had a problem with that sword. Putting aside suspicion, you were the one with the most motive."

Huaiyan said with a smile, "Generally speaking, this is how investigations are conducted. Starting with the suspects is usually a safe bet."

"Does Grandpa think so too?"

Yun Li didn't care if others suspected her, but she cared a lot about whether Huai Yan thought of her that way. If her grandfather also suspected her of doing it, she would run away from home and live with Qiong from now on.

"No, you might have done that before, but now that Qiong is by your side, how could you do such a thing?"

Huaiyan shook his head and said firmly, "Having a lover is the most obvious sign of my granddaughter's growth. Once she learns how to love others, she will know that there are some things she cannot do."

“That’s right, I can provide Yun Li with an alibi. We were together all night yesterday, and we didn’t separate at all.”

Qiong nodded and said that he knew some people were doubting Yun Li, and as her husband, his job was to prove her wrong. He knew perfectly well what Yun Li had been doing last night.

"Never separated? Did you sleep in the same room?"

Huaiyan looked at Qiong with curiosity and asked. As an old man, he couldn't help but wonder how fast the relationship between young people was progressing. He had just confirmed the relationship between the two yesterday, but he didn't expect them to be together that night. However, being in the same room and sleeping in the same bed were different.

"Of course we slept together. Li'er is my fiancée, so it's only natural that we sleep together."

Qiong put his arm around Yunli's shoulder and let her lean on him. He then spoke very seriously to Huaiyan. Upon hearing Qiong's words, the old man immediately burst into laughter. Just from the way they addressed each other, one could see how intimate the two were.

"What kind of address is that? It's so embarrassing, you bastard."

Yun Li initially thought she had misheard, but when she realized what Qiong had called her, she blushed and angrily punched Qiong on the head. This "Li'er" was even more embarrassing than "wife".

"In fact, the thief deliberately left some clues."

After laughing, Huaiyan spoke and opened the sword box in front of him. Inside the sword box was a red rose petal. Although there was no name written on it, Qiong immediately thought of the knight who had called him brother yesterday. She didn't know why, but she just felt that he was the one. After all, a normal person wouldn't carry such a red rose with them.

"It looks like a silver branch to me."

Qiong raised his question, and Yun Li, upon hearing this, immediately and unconditionally believed her husband without any doubt.

"It's simple. That knight was actually controlled by the Demon Sword when he arrived. He's definitely plotting to wreak havoc on the Immortal Ship. We need to find him and get rid of him quickly!"

Yun Li said fiercely, if the Demon Sword hadn't been harmed, she could still believe that the sword had reformed, but since this had happened, Yun Li decided to condemn it outright.

"That seems to make sense. Anyway, let's go find Yinzhi first."

Qiong nodded and said that Huaiyan had no objection to this. As the general of the Immortal Boat, he could not arbitrarily suspect guests who had come from afar, but Qiong and Yunli could. It was just right to let them do this, and it could also enhance their relationship. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

After reaching a conclusion, Qiong took his two wives and left the Construction Bureau to find Yinzhi at the Sky Ship Bureau. The Immortal Ship was so big that it seemed difficult to find a person, but Yinzhi's words and actions were very unique. Anyone who had seen his exaggerated appearance would not forget that such a person existed. In addition, he never hid his whereabouts and lived in his spaceship, which had not yet left the Immortal Ship.

When Qiong and the others arrived at the port, they saw Yinzhi sitting on a wooden chair with his back to them, and a dark red sword floating beside him, which was the escaped Lone Cloud Sword.

Now that the culprit has been caught red-handed, Yun Li couldn't help but want to step forward and demand justice, but Qiong stopped her and chose to go forward and negotiate himself.

"Hey, Silver Branch, your days of constantly proclaiming that Pure Beauty is the best in the universe are over. Give me the Lone Cloud Sword."

Qiong came up behind Yinzhi and reached out her hand to him, while Yinzhi got up from the chair and turned to look at Qiong.

"If you want it, then come and get it yourself. You know the rules."

"How many times have we fought?"

"It's hard to say, we've always been fighting as long as I can remember."

Yun Li stared blankly at the two people who had suddenly come face to face. What did she mean by always fighting? Didn't they just meet yesterday?

"Alright, you've covered the jokes, now tell me why you stole the sword."

Qiong smiled and said to Yinzhi. When he saw the position of the chair and the sword, he already knew what joke Yinzhi wanted to make. This was not unfamiliar to the slickers of the universe, so Qiong could naturally pick up on it.

"I agreed to help Lord Guyun's request. It wanted me to help it escape the immortal ship. As the one who pulled it out of the stone tablet and was moved by its pure beauty, I cannot let it down."

Yinzhi answered Qiong's question seriously. He was still so honest, and even as a thief, he was impossible to dislike. People wanted to know the secret behind it.

"So you deliberately left the petals behind?" Yun Li asked.

“Indeed. As a knight of Idrila, I have sworn to live a simple life and despise theft. However, in order to fulfill my promise to Lord Guyun and my knightly oath, I have left the rose behind and hope to have a talk with you all.”

Yinzhi's explanation made Yunli understand that he had deliberately waited for them to come, otherwise he would have left the Immortal Ship long ago. However, she still did not understand why he had gone to such great lengths.

Chapter 343 A Familiar Story

"My friends, I'm tired of fighting. I just want to tell you about my past, about why I wanted to escape."

Yinzhi looked at the Lonely Cloud Sword, and everyone heard an ancient voice coming from the sword. This was the terrifying thing about the Demon Sword; it had its own complete consciousness and could be said to be no different from a human.

"I won't listen!"

Yun Li knew that the worst thing she could do when facing the Demon Sword was to listen to its seductive charms. Although she was confident in her willpower, she was not prepared to give it a chance.

"Little girl, are you afraid to see my past? Just one touch, and I wouldn't take your sanity away."

The Lonely Cloud Sword used a provocation tactic. Perhaps it was because it underestimated Yun Li's words that she was very dissatisfied, and also because she was curious to know why the Demon Sword would do this. Yun Li simply agreed. With Qiong and Liu Ying around, she wouldn't lose control.

Yun Li took a deep breath and gripped the sword hilt. Qiong followed suit and took her hand, signifying his desire to face the unknown together. Yun Li looked at her husband with gentle eyes, and then the two of them entered the consciousness space of the Lone Cloud Sword.

This is a long story that has lasted for hundreds of years. After the Lone Cloud Sword was forged by Han Guang, it was given to the best young sergeant in the army. In those days, being able to obtain a sword forged by Han Guang was the best reward for strength. However, no matter how powerful the young man or how strong the sword, the role they could play in a war was insignificant.

During the war, the swordsman and the demon sword ended up on a planet controlled by the Buli people. At that time, the Buli people were very powerful and had many territories. A planet was just an ordinary hunting ground for them. They would not kill all their prey, but would let the planet's natives, who were no different from humans, reproduce and eat their children. The natives had no fighting ability and were naturally treated as food. The arrival of the swordsman and the demon sword completely changed the future of the planet.

Shortly after the swordsman arrived on the native planet, the Buli people had their spines broken. At that time, they cowered in Dulan and dared not go out anymore. They naturally abandoned the territories they left outside. The native planet became an octagon between the swordsman and the Buli people. The contest was to see which side was wiped out first. The number of Buli people was fixed and there were no reinforcements, while the swordsman's reinforcements were the humans who wanted to fight alongside him.

What seemed like a story of divine justice has turned out to be a nightmare. In Gu Yunjian's memories, the swordsman was always the one being chased around. He was no match for the Bu Li people and was killed several times because of it. However, the powerful physique of the Immortal Boat people allowed him to come back to life time and time again. With the obsession to kill all the Bu Li people, he never died. Of course, this was also thanks to the companions he found who were determined to protect him. If it were just a one-on-one fight, he would have died long ago.

Hundreds of years have passed, and more and more humans have followed the swordsman in resisting the Buli people, to the point that the Buli people are terrified. In the end, he killed the last Buli person on the planet, returning freedom and peace to the natives. He thus became a hero of all mankind. However, this time was too long, and he had no time to savor the victory before he fell into the clutches of a demon. The last monster that the hero had to eliminate was himself.

The Lone Cloud Sword had always played an important role by the swordsman's side. Although it wouldn't admit it, the swordsman always referred to it as a friend. They had worked together like this for hundreds of years, until even an iron pestle was ground into a needle. When there were no more enemies around, the Lone Cloud Sword felt as if it had been sublimated. It was no longer a weapon, but something more indescribable. But by then, there was no one to share its joy with. The swordsman was dead, but it still had an almost endless lifespan. Even if the blade was damaged, it could be repaired and used again.

What happened next was that the Lone Cloud Sword was buried with the swordsman on the native planet. When Silver Branch passed by and learned about the story of the swordsman and the Demon Sword, he was deeply moved and volunteered to act as a guide to send the Lone Cloud Sword back to its homeland. In fact, it was not its homeland. The Lone Cloud Sword was simply fulfilling the swordsman's last wish to return to its homeland for one last look.

After taking one look, Lone Cloud Sword learned that it was to be reforged and given to another swordsman to continue fighting. It had been fighting alongside the swordsman for so many years and was tired of the battle, so it wanted to leave with Silver Branch and rebel against its fate as a weapon.

"Your friend is truly a hero. No wonder he is remembered by the people of the planet. In a sense, he is immortal. People will always remember him, and you too, Lone Cloud Sword."

After hearing the story of the Lone Cloud Sword, Qiong couldn't help but sigh. He was a person with special abilities who made a name for himself in this universe. But many more people are like that swordsman, with abilities but not much, yet they want to do things far beyond their capabilities.

This reminded Qiong of the first Great Guardian of Beloborg. She was also from outer space, couldn't bear to see the locals suffer, and led them in a lifetime of resistance on an isolated and helpless planet. There are countless such great events in the universe, which is why the Path of Pioneers is so exciting. Pioneers always come into contact with these untold stories.

"I misunderstood you. No wonder Grandpa said you were different. I'm sorry."

Yun Li solemnly apologized to the Lone Cloud Sword. She was deeply moved after reading the story. She used to say that demonic swords were all monsters that would corrupt people's hearts, but there was indeed an exception before her eyes. The Lone Cloud Sword had fought alongside the swordsman for hundreds of years. If it wanted, it could take over the swordsman's body at any time, break it, and then find another master. But it was willing to fight alongside the swordsman until its blade shattered in order to fulfill the swordsman's wish. This was no longer a demonic sword, but the swordsman's best partner, just like the old iron in Yun Li's hand.

"Little girl, now that you've heard everything, can you let me go? I don't want to fight anymore."

The Lone Cloud Sword told Yun Li that it planned to find a place to live in seclusion and continue its life as an ornament. This was actually a torment for a sentient being, but it had no other choice.

"No, let me melt you!"

Yun Li shook her head and said.

"you..."

Lonely Cloud Sword was somewhat amused and exasperated, but it didn't say much. Perhaps this was its fate.

"You yourself said that the power of the Demon Sword is too great, and it will always be coveted by others, especially a fine sword like you. Let me melt you down, and I will forge you into other objects so that you can gain true freedom and no longer be coveted by others."

Yun Li reached out to the Lone Cloud Sword and said that at this moment, the sword seemed to be radiating a different kind of light. It was just a sword, a weapon that only knew how to fight, and had never thought that there was such a way to help it. Yun Li was really thinking about it, which is why she came up with this idea.

Chapter 344 Star Core Hunter, Going to Work

What can I become?

The Lonely Cloud Sword was clearly interested. It asked Yun Li what it could become.

"I am not your master. You should figure that out yourself."

Yun Li shook her head and said that if she were to smelt it, she would definitely turn the Lone Cloud Sword into molten iron. Although by then the Lone Cloud Sword would have lost its consciousness and she could do whatever she wanted with it, Yun Li was a very trustworthy person.

"Can I use a musical instrument? When my body is torn and has holes, the wind passes through it and makes a different sound. I think that's music."

After thinking for a moment, Lonely Cloud Sword said to Yun Li that it had almost no memories left outside of battle, so it was already remarkable that it could think of this.

"Okay, leave it to me."

Yun Li patted her chest and assured him. Gu Yun Sword did not mention escaping the immortal ship again, but prepared to stay and guard this place with the swordsman. As for the swordsman's body, it had become a demonic body and had been suppressed for hundreds of years. It had long since become a golden tree under the abundant divine miracle. Only a branch was taken back to Luofu.

"Yun Li, you can also make musical instruments?"

Qiong looked at Yunli with a puzzled expression and asked, "No one doubts that she can forge swords, but do musical instruments really have anything to do with swords?"

"What's so difficult about it? Don't underestimate your fiancée."

Yun Li put her hands on her hips and said proudly. Qiong thought she was really capable, but she didn't expect her to turn around and call Huai Yan.

"Help me, Grandpa!"

Yun Li used her charm, which worked wonders on Huai Yan. The old man, with a smile on his face, took Yun Li and the Lonely Cloud Sword to the forging area of ​​the Craftsmanship Department and personally taught her how to make a metal musical instrument. Normally, it would be impossible to ask a Celestial Boat General for this, which also shows how much Huai Yan dotes on Yun Li.

Yun Li is usually willful, but she becomes exceptionally serious when it comes to forging. You can't see any trace of a craftsman in her; she devotes herself wholeheartedly to forging and is unaffected by anything around her.

After watching for a while, Qiong didn't disturb Yunli anymore. After leaving the foundry, she found Liuying, who had been by her side, and spoke first, looking at her pretty face.

"Honey, is there something you want to say?"

"Ah, yes, there is."

Liu Ying seemed a little absent-minded, which was completely different from her previous demeanor. How could someone as observant as Qiong not notice that she had something on her mind?

"I know you must have something on your mind, after all, you've been unusually quiet today. Are you going to work?"

Qiong held Liuying in his arms, gently stroking her long hair and asking, "There aren't many things that can move a super soldier like Liuying, but being separated from Qiong is one of them. You can guess what it is."

"You're so smart, what more can I say?"

Liu Ying raised her hands and hugged Qiong's back tightly. She was very reluctant to part with him, but she had no choice. Work had come her way and she had to leave.

“You’ve already had a very long vacation. If I were Elio, I definitely wouldn’t let you take such a long vacation. How can this boost the company’s performance? This kind of employee should be fired.”

Qiong teased Liu Ying, and to be honest, he didn't expect Liu Ying to stay with him for so long. He had to praise Star Core Hunter Co., Ltd., which was truly a good place to provide benefits for its employees.

"Even though getting fired means I can stay with you forever, I can't let go of Kafka and the others."

Liu Ying leaned against Qiong and whispered that some things are just so hard to decide. When she joined the Star Core Hunters, she signed a contract with Elio. Now she has found the meaning of life and has a lover, but she cannot break the contract. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be able to stay by Qiong's side only after she has accomplished everything Elio wants to do.

"That's right, my wife is the most capable fighter in the team, and she's the best at creating hell."

Qiong said smugly, as if he himself was the most powerful fighter. Did Liu Ying need to boast about her fighting strength? Even at its peak, Hu Lei couldn't beat her; he could only barely survive.

"Who told you that?!"

When Liu Ying realized that what was supposed to be a pleasant conversation had turned into her embarrassing dark history, she couldn't help but grab Qiong's clothes and ask, her eyes filled with a look that seemed to want to create a hellish scene.

"edge."

Qiong betrayed his Uncle Ren without hesitation. Now, it seems that Ren's identity has always been Yun Li's senior brother. Huai Yan has not severed ties with him. After marrying Yun Li, Uncle Ren will also become Senior Brother Ren.

"Go back and get him a new face."

"Ice Firefly said with dissatisfaction. Before she met Qiong, she was always a grumpy girl. You can tell from Blade's evaluation of her. Although Blade has some problems with his mind, he would not slander a girl's innocence for no reason. Ice Firefly's fighting style is to burn everything and leave only a scorched earth. Isn't that purgatory?"

"No, you're leaving soon, we can't waste time. I need to quickly send you everything for the next few days."

Qiong felt that she needed to take action rather than just talk, so she grabbed Liuying and ran out of the Industrial Bureau, looking very anxious.

"Call me? Is it credit points?"

Liu Ying followed behind Qiong and asked in confusion, still too innocent to understand Qiong's meaning immediately.

"No, it's descendants." Qiong replied seriously.

"You scoundrel!"

Liu Ying understood now and was amused by Qiong's words. However, since they were already an old married couple, she didn't feel ashamed. Indeed, they should leave behind the most beautiful memories before parting ways.

Qiong took Liuying back to their room at the inn. As soon as he locked the door, Liuying hugged him. Just like before, Liuying took the initiative, and the sadness of parting was diluted in the process.

"Are you leaving?"

Qiong hugged Liuying and asked. Liuying didn't speak, but just nodded with a smile on her face. Her expression was much more lively than before. Only when she was very close to Qiong could she feel how happy she was.

Qiong and Liuying changed into clean clothes. They originally wanted to take a bath before leaving, but Liuying shook her head and only asked Qiong to help her clean her body. Her two straight and beautiful legs were closed, revealing a captivating curve.
