Shi Sheng took the Iron Sword back and took it out. It had become an ordinary Iron Sword and its power had been greatly reduced.
Even so, it still looked vicious and was more dangerous than any other weapon.
Just getting close to it would make people panic.
The Space-time Gate said that this was called self-sealing. Because it did not want to admit that Shi Sheng was its master, it had sealed most of its power.
The Space-time Gate also said that this was considered good. If it had really followed them in its previous form, Shi Sheng would not have been able to suppress it. Perhaps the entire Interstellar would be in trouble.
The Space-time Gate told Shi Sheng not to use this sword.
Later, Shi Sheng showed this sword to Xia Chu. Xia Chu said the same thing and told her not to use this sword.
Of course, Shi Sheng was not willing to do so. Later, as mentioned before, Xia Chu helped him suppress the Iron Sword's vicious energy.
Shi Sheng only found out after a long time that Xia Chu had used a forging technique that only the head of the Xia family could learn. She used her spiritual power … or the power of the soul to suppress the vicious energy of the Iron Sword.
However, at the same time, the vicious energy would enter Xia Chu's body. The vicious energy could not be eradicated. When she could not control the vicious energy, she would die.
This was the main reason why Xia Chu's resurrection was so painful.
Of course, at that time, Shi Sheng did not know that Xia Chu had sacrificed so much for him.
In fact, Shi Sheng did not use the Iron Sword much in the Interstellar, so many people did not know that he had such a sword.
…
When Shi Sheng obtained the Iron Sword, something happened. The Fourth Prince, Caesar, died.
She knew about this from Shi Fang. Her impression of Caesar was probably the time when he let her go on the warship. After that, she really hated Caesar, so she did not want to have much contact with him.
However, Caesar was always tirelessly trying to get close to her, which allowed her to have a certain understanding of this fourth prince.
He was capable, resourceful, and scheming.
She couldn't understand why such a prince would suddenly die.
The royal family had its own rules. The sudden death of a prince was something they should worry about. Shi Sheng didn't really care.
If Caesar was still alive and he was in trouble, she could help him once and return his favor.
But now that he was dead, she wouldn't try to find out the truth like everyone else.
Who knew what kind of mentality Caesar had when he let her go?
Shi Fang, on the other hand, was depressed over this matter for a long time. It was only when he got busy later that he gradually forgot about Caesar.
…
Another autumn.
The frost trees on Frost Moon Street were still covered in frost, as if autumn had come early.
Xia Chu and Shi Sheng were walking on the street. Xia Chu was in low spirits.
"I'll be back soon. Why do you look so sad?" Shi Sheng's temperament had changed in recent years. He was not as taciturn as before.
"I can't bear to part with you." Xia Chu snorted. "If you leave, where am I going to find someone to help me deal with those huge documents?"
Shi Sheng: "…"
"Ah Sheng …" Xia Chu held Shi Sheng's hand. "You'll find someone who'll treat you well in the future."
"Why are you suddenly saying this?" She was just going to the front line. With her speed, she would definitely be back before the New Year.
But Xia Chu's sudden behavior made Shi Sheng suspicious.
"No. My wedding date with Ji Ye has been decided. I'm just sighing." Xia Chu smiled brightly. "When I get married to Ji Ye, you'll be alone."
"Are you really going to marry Ji Ye?" How could someone like Ji Ye be worthy of Xia Chu?
Xia Chu just smiled. Shi Sheng didn't understand the emotions in her eyes at that time.
It didn't matter. Anyway …
She was going to die soon.
Ah Sheng, I can't save the Xia family, and I can't fulfill my brother's wish.
But I can pave a path for you.
I hope you can go further and live a carefree life.
Every time Shi Sheng recalled that time, if he had been more cautious, he would have noticed something wrong with Xia Chu. But why didn't she notice it at all?
Did Xia Chu hide it too well, or was she too confident?
Shi Sheng didn't know the answer, and she would never be able to return to that day.
…
On the day she left the Capital Star, Xia Chu came to see her off and gave her the war song.
That was the first time Shi Sheng heard the song. Xia Chu's voice was soft and not suitable for singing such a song, but she thought it sounded good.
Shi Sheng boarded the battleship with the gift.
"Ah Sheng!"
Xia Chu called out to Shi Sheng. Ignoring the people around, she quickly ran through the crowd and threw herself into Shi Sheng's arms.
Shi Sheng had been hugged by Xia Chu many times. In the past, when she left, Xia Chu would suddenly hug him, so Shi Sheng just felt a little strange, but didn't think much of it.
Xia Chu said in a light tone, "Ah Sheng, I'll wait for you to come back."
"Okay."
Xia Chu let go of Shi Sheng, turned around and ran down the battleship. She stood below and waved at him with a smile.
Shi Sheng didn't expect that would be the last time he and Xia Chu hugged.
…
The war at the front line was far less serious than she had heard in the report. At this time, Shi Sheng was already a little uneasy. He deliberately talked to Xia Chu, and everything was normal.
She thought she was thinking too much, because there was a large-scale battle the next day, and the losses were very heavy.
Shi Sheng was caught in a chaotic battle that lasted for a month. Shi Sheng didn't expect that there would be a traitor on her side, which led to the failure of the whole plan. She was almost left on a desolate star.
Although she returned to the team in the end, she was injured, and the enemy took the opportunity to wipe them out.
After Shi Sheng dealt with the traitor and regained control of the battle, she received the news that the Xia family was besieged before they could completely wipe out the enemy.
Almost at the same time, the enemy got reinforcements from somewhere and trapped her.
The Xia family was besieged.
She was trapped on the battlefield.
Shi Sheng couldn't help but think about these two coincidences.
Someone did it on purpose.
From the moment there was a traitor on her side to now being trapped, everything was to stall for time.
Shi Sheng asked the Zhan Long Guards to rush to the Shi family, but the Zhan Long Guards reported that there was a problem with the Shi family. Someone attacked the Shi family, and the Shi family was in a mess.
Not only the Shi family, but a few other families were also attacked, and the Xia family was the most seriously injured.
"I don't care about the Shi family. Go to the Xia family now. I want to see Xia Chu standing in front of me in one piece. Go!"
The Zhan Long Guards hesitated for a moment before answering, "Yes."
Shi Sheng ordered his men to break out of the encirclement while contacting Xia Chu. However, Xia Chu didn't reply.
It was only when Shi Sheng broke out of the encirclement and rushed to the Capital Star that he contacted Xia Chu.
Xia Chu was surrounded by flames. She should be standing in Xia Lin's study. Shi Sheng saw the half-burnt Music of the Four Seas.

Actually, I don't think Xia Chu is stupid, and she's not that soft-hearted. Think carefully, this young lady is very shrewd.
Ahhhh, I beg for votes next month!
