I Have A Sword-Chapter 1203: Invincible Under Three Swords
Chapter 1203: Invincible Under Three Swords
Seeing Ye Guan's reaction, Zuo Yan smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with having a thick skin."
Ye Guan laughed. "That's true."
In this world, one's skin had to be a bit thick, or one wouldn't be able to find a wife.
Zuo Yan suddenly took out another cucumber and handed it to Ye Guan. Without hesitation, he accepted it, took a bite, and then pulled out a stick of hawthorn candy from Little Pagoda.
He extended the candy toward Zuo Yan.
Zuo Yan looked at the hawthorn candy in surprise. "What is that?"
"Hawthorn candy. It's delicious."
Zuo Yan unwrapped it, licked it, and blinked her big eyes. "It's indeed delicious."
Ye Guan smiled without saying much and took another bite of his cucumber.
Before long, the two arrived at the outskirts of the small town. Following a narrow path, they soon reached a mountainside. When Ye Guan looked down, he was stunned by the breathtaking view before him.
He was staring at the Star-Moon Lake!
The Star-Moon Lake was shaped like an ivory boat. Its waters were unfathomably deep, and under the deep night sky, the moonlight and starlight were reflected on its surface, creating the illusion of a hanging starry sky.
It was an exquisite and captivating sight.
Zuo Yan exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"
She pulled out something from her chest and snapped photos of the lake down below.
When Ye Guan saw the item in her hands, he immediately froze. A smartphone! Isn't that a smartphone from the Milky Way? What the hell?
Zuo Yan noticed Ye Guan's reaction and turned to him. Waving the phone in her hand, she asked, "Do you recognize this?"
Ye Guan nodded.
Zuo Yan's eyes lit up. "How do you know about this?"
Ye Guan solemnly asked, "Are you from the Milky Way?"
Over the years, he had met quite a few people who had crossed over from other worlds.
Zuo Yan shook her head and replied, "No, I'm not from the Milky Way. A friend of mine gave this to me. She's from the Milky Way. She told me that the Milky Way has all sorts of fun things. Is that true?"
Ye Guan nodded. "It's true."
Zuo Yan said earnestly, "When I get out of here, I'm going to visit the Milky Way. If it's as fun as she says, I'll conquer it and make it mine."
Ye Guan quickly interjected, "No, no, the Milky Way already has an owner."
Zuo Yan blinked and said, "That's okay. I'll just challenge them. If I win, it'll be mine."
Ye Guan shook his head and chuckled.
Zuo Yan suddenly asked, "Are you from the Milky Way?"
Ye Guan smiled. "You could say that."
Zuo Yan scrutinized him. "No wonder you're not shy talking to girls. I've heard that boys from the Milky Way are pretty bold. Is that true?"
Ye Guan laughed. "It depends on the person."
"Pfft!" Zuo Yan laughed as well. "I didn't expect to meet someone from the Milky Way. How interesting."
Looking at the lively and straightforward Zuo Yan, Ye Guan found himself liking her personality. Girls like her—cheerful, innocent, and direct—were always fun to be around.
Zuo Yan continued snapping photos, visibly thrilled.
Ye Guan asked, "Have you never been here before?"
Zuo Yan shook her head. "You don't know this, but Star-Moon Lake only looks this beautiful under starlight and moonlight, which are rare here."
"I see." Ye Guan nodded and looked up at the starry sky. The countless stars sparkled like diamonds, adorning the deep night sky. A great river of stars stretched across the heavens, vast and resplendent—a breathtaking sight.
Recalling something, Ye Guan turned to Zuo Yan and asked, "Are you from the outside world?"
Zuo Yan nodded. "Yes, I was sent here."
Ye Guan frowned slightly. "Sent here?"
Zuo Yan smiled. "That's right."
Seeing that she didn't want to elaborate, Ye Guan didn't press further. Instead, he asked, "Do you know of any way to leave this place?"
Zuo Yan shook her head. "No. The seal placed by the Nine Continent Master is too strong. Normally, no one here can leave. Only people from the outside can use special methods to take someone out."
Ye Guan felt a headache coming on.
Zuo Yan glanced at him and smiled. "With your great luck, you'll definitely be chosen. By then, they'll find a way to take you out."
Ye Guan nodded without saying much.
The two sat quietly, watching the Star-Moon Lake. The surroundings were tranquil, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects.
Just then, the sound of footsteps came from a distance.
Ye Guan and Zuo Yan turned to look.
A young man and a young woman were walking hand in hand on the trail.
They looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years of age. The man wore a simple robe made of coarse cloth, which, though rough, was clean. Meanwhile, the woman beside him was dressed in a simple yet elegant long skirt.
When the two saw Ye Guan and Zuo Yan, they hesitated slightly.
Zuo Yan smiled. "Are you here to see Star-Moon Lake too?"
The young man nodded. "Yes."
Zuo Yan smiled. "Then let's enjoy it together."
The couple hesitated, clearly reluctant. However, this spot was the best vantage point, so after glancing at the young woman beside him, the young man nodded and said, "Let's stay here."
With that, the two sat not far from Ye Guan and Zuo Yan.
Zuo Yan introduced herself cheerfully. "We've probably seen each other before but have simply never talked to each other until now. Hi, I'm Zuo Yan, and this is my new friend, Ye Guan."
The young man hesitated briefly before saying, "I'm Zong Na, and this is my fiancée, Yue Liu."
Zong Na looked at Yue Liu with deep affection.
Yue Liu nodded slightly at Zuo Yan as a form of greeting.
Zuo Yan grinned. "You two chat among yourselves, and we'll chat among ourselves."
Ye Guan was speechless.

Zong Na and Yue Liu exchanged glances and smiled before resuming their quiet conversation.
Zuo Yan leaned close to Ye Guan and whispered, "Are they in love?"
Ye Guan glanced at the couple. "Yes."
Zuo Yan giggled. "How amusing."
Ye Guan was dumbfounded.
Just then, Zong Na suddenly walked over and placed a packet of peanuts wrapped in oil paper in front of Ye Guan and Zuo Yan. "These are peanuts grown at my house. Please try some."
"Thank you." Ye Guan smiled and accepted the peanuts.
Zong Na returned to sit beside Yue Liu.
Ye Guan tried one and remarked, "Not bad."
He handed the packet to Zuo Yan, who smiled and took one.
It crunched loudly as she bit into it.
Ye Guan turned to the lake down below.
The Star-Moon Lake looked like an inverted starry sky and was truly mesmerizing.
Zuo Yan laid her back on a boulder. She rested her head on her hands and crossed her legs before asking, "Ye Guan, do you have any dreams?"
Ye Guan turned to her with a smile. "I do."
Zuo Yan's interest was piqued. "What's your dream?"
Ye Guan said seriously, "To unify the vast expanse and become the ruler of all."
Zuo Yan was momentarily stunned before giving him a thumbs-up. "Ye Guan, you're something else."
Ye Guan was speechless.
Even Zong Na and Yue Liu glanced at Ye Guan. Zong Na, who seemed like an honest man, chuckled when he heard that. Yue Liu, however, looked a bit surprised.
Zuo Yan asked, "Do you even know how big the vast expanse is?"
Ye Guan shook his head. "No, but it doesn't matter. However big it is, I'll conquer it."
Zuo Yan gave him another thumbs-up. "You're remarkable."
Ye Guan was dumbfounded.
"I have a dream, too," Zuo Yan said.
Ye Guan smiled. "What's your dream?"
"To travel across the vast expanse!" Zuo Yan exclaimed. Then, she held up her phone and added, "And capture all the beautiful sights in the universe!"
Ye Guan chuckled. "You like traveling?"
Zuo Yan nodded. "Yes, the vast expanse isn't just vast. It's also incredibly beautiful. It's so beautiful that it ought to be recorded. Unfortunately, I have no idea when I can achieve my dream. Moreover, life is also quite unpredictable."
Ye Guan laughed heartily.
Just then, Zuo Yan turned to Zong Na and Yue Liu. "What about you two? Do you have any dreams?"
Zong Na hesitated before glancing at Yue Liu. "To marry Yue Liu."
Ye Guan smiled faintly as he looked at Zong Na.
Yue Liu thought for a moment and said, "To live freely."
Both Ye Guan and Zuo Yan were a little surprised. They glanced at Yue Liu, who turned her gaze back to the Star-Moon Lake.
Zuo Yan smiled. "Let's not disturb them. Let's go back."
Ye Guan nodded, and the two left.
When they returned to the courtyard, a lady in a black robe was standing in front of Zuo Yan's house. The woman exuded a somewhat eerie aura and had an unfriendly expression.
When Zuo Yan saw her, she ran over, stuck out her tongue, and explained, "Granny Yu, I just went out to play for a bit!"
The lady shook her head, and her expression softened as she patted Zuo Yan's head, saying, "Men outside are no good. Stay away from them."
The lady glared at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan had no idea what to say.
"Pfft!" Zuo Yan giggled. "His name is Ye Guan. He's easy to get along with."
Granny Yu glanced at Ye Guan before turning to Zuo Yan, "We'll go to sleep."
With that, she pulled Zuo Yan away.
Zuo Yan turned and waved at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan shook his head and smiled. This girl was truly lively and carefree. It was a good way to be.
Ye Guan returned to his courtyard.
The Daoist had yet to return, so Ye Guan went back to his room and sprawled out on the bed.
"...!" Ye Guan sat up abruptly.
Someone had unknowingly appeared in his room.
They were none other than Granny Yu.
Ye Guan frowned as Granny Yu stared at him quietly. In stark contrast to her silence, her icy and sinister gaze spoke volumes.
Ye Guan hurriedly asked, "Master Pagoda, can you take her on?"
Little Pagoda replied, "Am I that weak in your eyes? Back in the day, I worked with your father to beat your grandfather! I was invincible under three swords! Beyond three—well, let's not talk about the past. A hero doesn't boast about old glories."
Ye Guan had no idea what to say.
