Chapter 18

As soon as the master saw the golden bandage binding him, he immediately understood why the connection between himself and the magic sword was severed. Although the magic sword without magical blessing was weakened in power, the swordsmanship remained. The master twirled the silver sword in his hand, intending to sever the "Sealing Demon".

However, he soon realized that he couldn't cut through. He immediately adjusted his breathing, remaining calm in the face of danger, which was a reflection of his battle experience.

After a few moves, the silver sword was still in the master's hand. I tried several times to make the sword slip out of his hand, but I didn't add any magic to the "Cracked Cloud" to end the battle. However, the master was completely ungrateful. An overly persistent woman is extremely terrifying.

In order to prevent more dreadful things from happening, I decided to end it immediately. If she were to harm herself, how could I explain it to Hanya?

The master of Hanya emitted magic from her feet, activating magic. There was not enough time to cast a large-scale magic. It was fortunate that the master's magic attribute was still wind, but the wind went straight behind me in a strange way and then came back around.

"Directed Wind!" Such manipulation of wind would at least be at a Holy level in terms of the Human Realm's classification of magic. In terms of casting time, it should be considered advanced. The classification of the Human Realm will need to be updated again soon. The current classification will gradually become incompatible with human evolution.

Although Hanya's master could manipulate directed wind, it actually worked in my favor by swirling behind me.

Magic can be activated in every part of a person, including the back.

The celestial demon fire ignited behind me, burning even more fiercely with the wind. Normally, such sharp wind would extinguish the fire, but the divine fire wouldn't be easily extinguished and would instead burn even more intensely. The wind didn't penetrate my body, but instead helped my flames rush towards her.

Within three seconds, I no longer hesitated with the sword snatching plan. If I needed to give up, I would decisively give up. I pushed her against the wall, let go of the "Cracked Cloud" sword, and lodged it into the end of the golden bandage. I temporarily suspended Hanya's master on the wall, quickly sealing the surrounding space in the dimension created by the "Sealing Demon". This way, I didn't have to worry about her using magic again.

"What is this?"

"It's just a temporary prohibition of magic elements. Don't worry. Can we talk calmly now? With human strength, you can't defeat me temporarily."

"Human strength?" The master's eyes instantly turned blue, and a power very similar to that of the divine race was bursting forth. It was the awakening of her divine bloodline. She possessed divine lineage.

"Stop!" "Ah!" A roar was included in my words.

"Dragon power?" The master felt all of her pores opening, and her power was suppressed for a moment. She became calm.

"If Hanya..."

Just as I was about to mention what would happen if Hanya returned at this moment, Hanya came back immediately. It's really true that you can't mention someone during the day, but it's the same during dusk.

"Yang, have you finished sparring with the master?" Hanya pushed the door open and saw me and the master sitting facing each other in a cross-legged position, appearing to be casually chatting. However, the reason the master had been keeping her back to Hanya was because the flames I had just conjured had left a mark on her robe. This had to be concealed, otherwise Hanya would suspect something.

"Hanya, what's going on outside?" the master turned her head and asked.

"Well... two disciples were arguing outside. I haven't resolved their conflicts yet. I came back to tell you, and by the way, I wanted to ask, Qin Yang, did you take out 'Cracked Cloud'?"

"Ah~~ Your master wanted to see the changes in 'Lieyun', so I showed it to her." I picked up "Lieyun" and tapped the dragon on the sheath. Since we made the pact, "Lieyun" had undergone changes.

"Alright then, I'll go out first. It's all their fault that I didn't get to see enough!"

"Hahaha... next time then!" I laughed and asked Hanya to leave the room. As Hanya left the room, our expressions became serious.

"'Lieyun' was a gift I gave to Hanya. It shouldn't have turned out like this, nor should it have the ability to grow."

"In fact, many things are hard to explain. However, I know about Hanya's past, I have seen those memories."

"You've seen them? Peeking into memories is like a voyeuristic crime!"

"I hope you don't die from this crime! Don't worry about the process, the outcome is very good. Look at Hanya now, she smiles and everything. It's better than before, liking girls. I don't think any mother would want her daughter to like girls."

"I do!"

"Then... Auntie..."

"Call me master." Master's face was filled with displeasure. I didn't quite understand why Master was Hanya's mother, Hanya clearly didn't know either, and she even hoped that her daughter wouldn't like men.

"Let's not talk about that, Master. Let's talk about you and Hanya. Just now, you were trying to awaken her divine blood. It means that you have divine bloodline, and Hanya must have it too. But Hanya has never awakened before, and the psychological trauma is too great. The failure rate for the first awakening is increased by fifty percent, and when we consider the previous research without trauma, the failure rate is seventy percent or even higher. People can die from this. Haven't you thought about it?"

"Why is liking girls considered trauma? You can't discriminate against them."

"The problem is that the cause of Hanya liking girls is a huge trauma, in her heart!"

"That's why I let her study swordsmanship. If Hanya doesn't get infatuated with magic, she will never awaken in her whole life."

"It's different now. She will awaken, and our connection will make her awaken her divine blood. But now, Hanya's mentality is also different, so don't worry about any problems."

"You think there are no problems? Did you see who molested her in those memories? Did you see the outcome of the event?"

I pondered for a moment. The memories I saw during summer vacation were a bit blurry.

"No!"

That person is Hanya's father! And I personally killed that beast in front of Hanya!"

"......" It felt like I was struck by lightning, momentarily paralyzed for a few seconds. The actual situation wasn't much different, but to have such a thing behind the scenes. The reason why Hanya's father did such a thing is no longer necessary to understand, but for the mother to kill the father, in front of her own daughter, although it was to protect Hanya, the impact cannot be said to be absent, nor can it be said to be minor. The fact is very significant.

"The fact that it wasn't seen in the memory only further indicates that Hanya doesn't want to remember it herself. Do you really think you understand her enough? Do you really think you can completely change her? Regardless of who you are and how many secrets you have behind you, it has nothing to do with the matters between me and my daughter. You have no right to interfere." Master smiled lightly, warning me not to interfere.

I immediately stood up and said firmly, "I thank you for letting me know all of this. It doesn't matter if you don't have faith in us. I will still be responsible until the end. But as for you, are you afraid of Hanya being killed again, or are you unable to face Hanya on your own? Please tell her the truth as soon as possible, don't let her always feel inferior to others, not in terms of abilities, but in terms of the encounters and birth circumstances. At least let her know that she's not an orphan, that she still has a mother."

After finishing speaking, there was no need for me to continue discussing. My master watched me leave, and did not stop me. She was probably considering her own things.

"Why haven't you said anything since you left the martial arts school, Qin Yang?" Walking on the road, we continued to walk towards the residential area. Hanya kept looking at me and finally spoke.

"No, I just couldn't think of a topic."

"Topics can be created, don't be so boring!" White Ivy walked behind us the whole time, saying that she and Hanya were neighbors and would go home together.

"Why do you care about White Ivy?"

"Sister, after all, we have known each other for many years as childhood friends and neighbors. Show some consideration!"

"Ah, you still remember that we have known each other for so many years. You don't even care how much face I've given you, and don't come so close!"

"For so many years, Sister, it's only been in the last few months that we've had more than five sentences in a conversation!" It seems that White Ivy has been looking forward to having a normal conversation with Hanya. Considering Hanya's past personality, it's just wishful thinking for a guy to expect her to speak with a good attitude.

"No one can hear you when you speak so softly!"

"I said that no one will be at my house tonight, and I'm going to my aunt's house for dinner."

"Do you have a habit of coming to my house for dinner?"

"Since you moved into the student apartment, I often come over for dinner."

It is said that Hanya's family owns a pet store run by her uncle and aunt, and her love for dressing up like a cat may be related to this.

"Ah!" Hanya suddenly saw a stray cat on the roadside and reacted as if she had seen a ghost. She immediately grabbed my sleeve and couldn't even look at it.

I bet nobody knows about me; now, I'm completely speechless!
