Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 356 The Names of Three Women

In the room behind Ding Hao.

Li Yiruo stood by the window and obsessively looked at the back of the youth in the yard.

She never thought that one day she would be so obsessed with someone.

A year ago, when she first met Ding Hao beside the Sword-cleansing Pond, she thought haughtily that the reason why Ding Hao was aloof was that he actually was playing hard to get, but just then…

It occurred to her that one day she saw a dark skinned thin youth by the side of the Sword-cleansing Pond. In fact, Li Yiruo had known that the “dark skinned thin youth” was actually a girl. Then something wonderful happened between her and Ding Hao…

Li Yiruo also knew that the girl had also joined the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and she even became a mysterious bloodline disciple. It was in the afternoon of a sunny day that she saw the girl in a red armor walking on the path with Ding Hao.

Li Yiruo had always been very confident about herself, be it her face or talent.

But when comparing with the red armored girl, she suddenly felt that she had no advantage. No, she was even at a disadvantage, because the girl in a red armor named Xie Jieyu was not only as beautiful and pure as her but also was a superior bloodline warrior who had a deity’s blood in her veins.

Then she thought of what brother Hao said when he was drunk the previous night.

What she did not tell Ding Hao was that she heard some obscure words and the names of three women to whom Ding Hao had great attachment.

One was called Ding Ke’er.

Li Yiruo knew that she was Ding Hao’s missing younger sister.

The second name was hers. Ding Hao shouted her name eleven times in his dream. Li Yiruo was really excited until the unconscious Ding Hao shouted the name “Jieyu”. Then she became a little disappointed.

Ding Hao shouted the name “Xie Jieyu” for thirty-six times.

“Brother Hao, if you really like her, then I…”

Li Yiruo thought while standing quietly in front of the window and staring at Ding Hao’s back obsessively. She had a mixed feeling. After a long time, she finally became tired and went to bed. Gradually, she fell asleep.

…

Then, the sound of the leaves rustling outside came to her.

Li Yiruo opened her eyes and found the room was dim. The bright moonlight came in through the window and was shed on the bluish floor. The moonlight looked like silver frost. Moreover, a cool breeze poured in through the window.

“Is it windy?” Li Yiruo said.

Li Yiruo lazily stretched out and suddenly realized something. She quickly got up and looked out window. She was beaming with surprise and pleasure.

Because in the yard, the figure was still sitting quietly on the stone bench.

Brother Hao did not leave.

He had stayed in the yard.

The heart of the beautiful girl, at that moment, seemed to be filled with something.

Tick!

A raindrop fell from the sky.

“Hey? Is it going to rain?” Li Yiruo said to herself.

The sound of raindrops falling became faster and faster. Then the rain poured down.

A string of rain fell down and blocked Li Yiruo’s view. The big trees, the stone bench and Ding Hao’s back seemed to disappear completely in a flash…

She felt as if she had lost everything all of a sudden.

An unprecedented panic crept into Li Yiruo. She felt as if Ding Hao had really disappeared in the heavy rain. Without another thought, she pushed the door open and ran out. Regardless of the heavy rain, she shouted, “Brother Hao…!”

“Swoosh!”

The figure moved fast.

Ding Hao came to her almost in an instant. He grabbed her white delicate hands with great concern and said, “Why did you run out in the rain? You are drenched. I am here… Well, Yiruo, what happened?”

Ding Hao was shining with silver light. It was like an invisible light screen that protected Li Yiruo from the cold rain.

That was the first rain in spring.

Li Yiruo hugged Ding Hao. She was still suffering from the shock and said nothing.

A tear rolled down her face. The she burst into tears.

Li Yiruo didn’t know what was going on. At the moment when Ding Hao’s back disappeared from her sight, she was completely overwhelmed by an unprecedented panic. She always hated crying which was a sign of weakness. But just then, she was in a flood of tears…

Hugged by the girl, Ding Hao suddenly became stiff.

Even if he faced a strong enemy like Mu Tianyang and mastered the Void, he would not be nervous. But he was quivering at the moment. He felt the trembling soft body in his arms. He hesitated for a moment and finally reached out, hugging the most beautiful girl among the nominal disciples of the five academies…

It was unknown why at the moment when Ding Hao hugged the dream girl of all male disciples, he did not feel excited at all. Instead, he felt protective towards her.

The rain was pouring down.

In the heavy rain, Ding Hao and Li Yiruo embraced each other for a long time.

In a trice, three days passed.

The large area of nominal disciples finally became empty. All the nominal disciples went to where they belonged. The handymen of the Sect had cleaned the place which was waiting for the new batch of nominal disciples who would become owners of the place after several tests a month later.

Ding Hao had personally sent Li Yiruo to the Water Sword Peak two days prior.

Before parting, Ding Hao handed a bottle of “Kui Shui Qi-collecting Pill” which was made by himself to Li Yiruo. He also gave her a set of tactical formation inscribed jades which was beneficial to cultivation. Using that tactical formation to practice exercises of water property, it could be more efficient.

Ding Hao spent a lot of cultivation resources in arranging everything for Li Yiruo in the Water Sword Peak.

The previous day, Fang Tianyi, Li Canyang and the other friends also said goodbye to Ding Hao and went to the peaks they chose to start cultivating further.

To Ding Hao’s contentment, Dumbo Vajra who was not in the top twenty was accidentally picked by the head of the Sky Sword Peak, and he became a disciple of the Sky Sword Peak.

That way, Dumbo Vajra also became a successor disciple of the inner core. Moreover, he joined the Sky Sword Peak which was the most powerful peak among the Six Peaks and Six Palaces. That could make up for the regrets of many people.
