"Could it be that the Monarch had pointed out my identity in the edict and said that I am the successor of the Kenshin?"
This was the first thought that appeared in Ji Tianxing's mind.
He nodded at Shui Ruoyu and answered truthfully, "That's right."
Shui Ruoyu's pupils contracted as her emotions became even more complicated. She actually sighed.
She lowered her head slightly as a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes, as if she was recalling something from the past.
A moment later, she continued to ask, "Tianxing, can you tell this old one how you obtained the Kenshin inheritance?"
"This …" Ji Tianxing immediately frowned and hesitated to answer.
He could naturally see that Shui Ruoyu's impression and attitude towards him had become much closer after learning that he was the successor of the Kenshin.
He could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart as he asked Shui Ruoyu, "Sect Master Shui, this junior doesn't quite understand. Why are you asking about the Kenshin?
This junior has come to the Hidden God Sect under the Monarch's orders to take away the Heavenly Dipper Godfire Cauldron. What does this have to do with the Kenshin? "
Shui Ruoyu was startled for a moment before she laughed involuntarily. Her laughter actually contained some bitterness and self-mockery.
"Tianxing, don't be anxious about the Heavenly Dipper Godfire Cauldron. We can talk about it later.
This old one only respects and admires the Kenshin. After learning that you are the successor of the Kenshin, I want to know more about you. You … should be able to understand this old one's feelings, right? "
Ji Tianxing shook his head as he said in a low voice, "Sect Master Shui, this junior may be young, but I am not someone who is ignorant of worldly affairs.
When this junior barged into the cave just now, your mind was already in chaos the moment you saw this junior. You lost your composure and even mistook this junior for someone else.
This junior is certain that you do not simply respect and admire the Kenshin. It is very likely that you are related to the Kenshin in some way. "
As he spoke, he stared intently at Shui Ruoyu, observing the changes in her expression.
As expected, Shui Ruo Yu's complexion changed slightly. Her gaze was somewhat evasive. She didn't dare to look directly into his eyes.
Seeing her reaction, Ji Tianxing was even more certain. He continued, "A long time ago, a peerless master once told me that Kenshin had never taken in any disciples when he was alive, but he had four followers who could be considered his in-name disciples.
The surnames of these four in-name disciples were Gu, Ye, Xiao, and Shui!
As the descendant of the Sword God, I have a mission, and that is to find these four seniors.
Before this, I had already found Ye Hengchuan and Xiao Wentian. Renhuang Ye lived in seclusion in the Boundless Realm of the Manggu Mountain Range. He guarded the city alone and waited bitterly for one person.
On the other hand, Xiao Wentian lived in seclusion in the Great Swamp of the Southern Wasteland and established the Xiao Clan, an ancient family. He had long since flourished and had many children and grandchildren, enjoying the rest of his life.
Of the four seniors, only Gu and Shui have not been found, and there have been no clues. "
Ji Tianxing spoke frankly with assurance. When Shui Ruo Yu heard these words, she tilted her head slightly. Her expression was very complicated as she remained silent.
Ji Tianxing revealed a slight smile and said calmly, "When I came to the Hidden God Sect previously, I only wanted to follow orders to retrieve the divine cauldron. I never thought about this matter.
Even when I knew that the surname of the sect master of the Hidden God Sect was Shui, I never thought about this.
It was only now that I finally understand why you were so agitated. Even as an Immortal Soul Stage master, you actually lost your composure.
Sect Master Shui, if I'm not wrong, you are one of the four in-name disciples of Kenshin, Gu Ye, Xiao, Shui in Shui, right? "
After he finished speaking, he looked at Shui Ruo Yu with a look of intense anticipation.
Shui Ruo Yu was silent for a long time before she slowly turned her head to look at him.
At this moment, not only did she look a little sad, but her eyes were also covered with a thin layer of mist.
As an Immortal Soul Stage master and a sect master, her heart was as still as water. She was an expert with a strong will and wouldn't lose her composure easily.
If her will wasn't strong enough, how could she have guarded the Hidden God Sect and protected the divine cauldron for hundreds of years?
But now that she saw Ji Tianxing and heard Ji Tianxing talk about the past, she couldn't help but cry.
This was because Ji Tianxing's guess was right. She was indeed the fourth disciple of Kenshin, Shui Ruo Yu!
Furthermore, she had many stories, and her heart was filled with too much pain!
"Tianxing … You are indeed Master's successor. Master's legacy will definitely be brought to greater heights in your hands.
When you speak with fervor and assurance, your confident appearance and high spirits are so similar to Master back then! "
Shui Ruo Yu looked at Ji Tianxing and squeezed out a smile. Her tone was filled with emotion and reminiscence.
When Ji Tianxing saw her expression and eyes, he suddenly felt a sense of deja vu, and his heart was touched.
"I seem to have seen Sect Master Shui's expression and eyes on Xiao Ling 'er before.
That's a kind of regret of not being able to love someone deeply. But compared to Xiao Ling 'er, there's more despair and reminiscence in her eyes.
After all, Kenshin is already dead. Sect Master Shui will never be able to see him again.
Eh … Could it be that Sect Master Shui, as an in-name disciple of Kenshin, has fallen in love with Kenshin for her entire life? "
This thought suddenly flashed across Ji Tianxing's mind, and he was stunned.
At the same time, Burial Of Heaven's deep and aged voice sounded in his mind.
"You brat … you've finally understood."
"Ah?" Ji Tianxing understood what it meant and felt that it was unbelievable. "Burial Of Heaven, did I guess correctly?"
Burial Of Heaven didn't reply to him. It said to Shui Ruo Yu in a deep and solemn tone, "Ah Shui, thousands of years have passed. You've also gone from a budding age to a white-haired person today. Why can't you resolve the knot in your heart and let him go?"
Shui Ruo Yu was secretly upset. Suddenly hearing Burial Of Heaven's voice, her body shook.
She raised her sleeve to wipe away the tears in her eyes. She immediately turned her head and looked at Ji Tianxing with a burning gaze. She asked in disbelief, "Burial Of Heaven? Is that its voice? "
Ji Tianxing didn't say anything. He only nodded calmly.
Burial Of Heaven's voice sounded again. Its tone was filled with vicissitudes and emotions. "Kenshin was obsessed with the way of the sword his entire life. He was born for the way of the martial way and died for the way of the divine way.
There are many women like you who are infatuated with him without regret. But who can get his attention and love?
Back then when Kenshin left, I reminded you not to be too emotional. In the end, the one who will be hurt will only be yourself.
I didn't expect that after thousands of years, you would still be infatuated with him without regret. It's a pity that Kenshin won't be able to see it … "
This time, Shui Ruo Yu heard it clearly. She was immediately sure that this was indeed Burial Of Heaven's voice.
She stared at Ji Tianxing with a burning gaze and said in a complicated tone, "Tianxing, you actually obtained the Burial Of Heaven sword? What is its current situation? "
Ji Tianxing didn't say anything. He directly took out the broken Burial Of Heaven and presented it in front of Shui Ruo Yu.
Shui Ruo Yu's expression changed. Her figure flashed and flew over, landing beside Ji Tianxing.
She stared at the Burial Of Heaven sword and asked anxiously, "Burial Of Heaven! It really is you! Back then when you left with Master, where did you go?
