A sense of vicissitudes hit him.

“The tombstone came back to life?” Lin Yu had never seen anything like it before.

The next moment, he recalled what Zhang Yuze had said before.

“It was also the first principal’s pet beast,” Ouyang Rui became serious and said, “It was originally a tombstone. Because it was entrusted with feelings, it developed a spirit and became a pet beast.”

“Even this can be a pet beast?” Lin Yu tilted his head.

This was such an eye-opener.

Also, isn’t it too strange to place feelings on the tombstone? Could it be that the first principal had prepared his funeral for himself in advance?

Under the gaze of Lin Yu and Ouyang Rui, the tombstone opened its mouth, “Finally, someone can take it away. My mission is complete.”

“You’re leaving?” Ouyang Rui sighed.

“Of course, there’s no point in me staying here,” The tombstone’s voice was very heavy as if a building was on it.

“Senior, can I ask how your master died?” Lin Yu asked carefully.

The scene fell silent.

“There are some things that you will know when it’s time for you to know. I feel that the time is getting closer and closer…” It said faintly.

Why did all of them love riddles… Lin Yu rolled his eyes.

He looked at Ouyang Rui, who was frowning at the side, and knew that he couldn’t get anything out of them for the time being.

“You can take this sword. In any case, you’re his junior, so I hope you won’t bring shame to it,” The tombstone spoke again.

“Yes, I promise,” Lin Yu said concisely.

At the moment, there should be no one more suitable than him to inherit the legacy of the senior, even though he had not thought of how Xiaozi wanted to use the sword.

Lin Yu exerted force and picked up the Double-edged Evil Glow Blade, a chill penetrating his palm.

He handed the sword to Xiaozi.

After seeing Lin Yu take the sword, the body of the huge tombstone began to shake.

The next moment, it shot up from the ground with a boom and shot into the sky like a rocket.

Lin Yu was shocked for thirty seconds.

“Uh… Shall we go back?” Lin Yu looked at the principal, who was still in a daze.

“Alright…”

The two of them had just taken a few steps when a small black shadow in the distance sped towards them.

“Hey, isn’t that the Shovel Thief Rat that ran away just now?”

Lin Yu looked curiously at the little fellow running towards him. It seemed to be holding something in its hand.

It slammed on the brakes and stopped right in front of Lin Yu.

It first carefully looked at Xiaozi, then approached Lin Yu step by step and handed the thing in its hands to him.

“Is this for me?” Lin Yu was a little surprised.

He took it and saw that it was a scroll of yellowed parchment. Through the touch and the smell, he could tell that it was ancient.

“This can’t be a treasure map or something like that, right…” Lin Yu gave the principal a strange look.

Who just said that this Shovel Thief Rat didn’t know how to raid tombs? There was even some dirt left on the parchment.

Ouyang Rui’s face flushed red, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he glared at the Shovel Thief Rat that seemed to be asking for Lin Yu’s forgiveness.

The Shovel Thief Rat put down its shovel and gestured with its hands.

“Are you saying that it wasn’t dug out from this cemetery?” As a master-tier Beastmaster, Ouyang Rui’s pet language was naturally at level ten and above. Even if it wasn’t his pet, he could roughly understand what they were trying to express.

His expression improved.

“It should be this little fellow’s storage. After all, this is a racial talent,” He seemed to be talking to himself.

Lin Yu secretly laughed. Suddenly, he had an idea.

He squatted before the Shovel Thief Rat, revealing his white teeth.

“Little guy, do you want to come with me?” He tried to make himself look upright and kind, “I like mice like you the most.”

The Shovel Thief Rat was stunned, seemingly not expecting to receive such an invitation.

“Lin Yu, have some morals please,” Ouyang Rui immediately said. Was this brat going to carry the well away after drinking it?

“Principal, I’m not forcing it. It’s all voluntary,” Lin Yu chuckled.

This was a moving treasure hunter! Or would it be better to call it a traveler rat?

At the thought of it bringing him treasures from time to time after taking it in, Lin Yu gulped.

The Shovel Thief Rat hesitated, sneaked a glance at Xiaozi, then flinched.

Then, it ran away quickly. As it did so, it would turn back to look at Lin Yu from time to time.

“Hahahaha, it has feelings for this place. It won’t go with you,” Ouyang Rui laughed heartily.

Lin Yu looked as the rat’s figure disappeared in the distance and felt a little regretful.

He had clearly felt that it was a little tempted just now.

It didn’t matter though. Maybe the rat was too reserved. The next time he came, he would definitely get it on his side. Lin Yu expressed that he was very thick-skinned.

He silently stuffed the parchment into his pocket and followed Ouyang Rui’s footsteps.

“Xiao Lin, how are you going to use that sword? Forgive me for being blunt, but your pet doesn’t seem to be very good at close combat,” Ouyang Rui’s mood seemed to have improved.

“Hmm… I’ll think about it,” Lin Yu glanced at Xiaozi, who was walking with the sword in her hand and full of energy.

Was she going to practice her swordsmanship tonight after getting home?

…

Since the Double-edged Evil Glow Blade was relatively large and not easy to carry, Ouyang Rui considerately gave Lin Yu a sword case.

After returning home, Lin Yu took the sword case from Xiaozi’s back.

He opened the sword case and touched the sword within gently.

“What a strange demonic aura. It seems to be innate?” He muttered.

He wondered what material it was made of.

There was also the coldness and the fishy smell. The first principal had obviously used the sword to kill countless enemies. The question was, who were the enemies of the former principal?

Lin Yu was deep in thought.

He felt as if he had grasped onto something, but he couldn’t think of anything.

“Hmm?” He turned around as Xiaozi pulled on his arm.

She stared at the Double-edged Evil Glow Blade, looking quite eager.

“You want to devour it?” Lin Yu’s expression became strange.

He had just promised the senior tombstone that he would not disgrace this sword…

“I see, you’ve been planning to do this since the beginning…” Lin Yu’s mouth twitched, “No wonder you chose this…”

Xiaozi sat on the side, excited but also a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her clothes.

Lin Yu sighed.

Thinking about it carefully, Xiaozi and the Double-edged Evil Glow Blade were indeed not compatible.

If she used it in close combat, it might even lower her combat power. To devour it was indeed a more cost-effective choice.

A prop of this level should bring a skill or something, right?

“Should we devour it?” Lin Yu was quite tempted, “It wouldn’t be a disgrace to the sword if we use the skill often after obtaining it, right?”

Xiaozi nodded furiously.

“Let’s do it!”

Lin Yu stood up and was about to roll up his sleeves to show his gusto when he realized that he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

He coughed and waved his hand. Mist surrounded the Double-edged Evil Glow Blade.

“I’m sorry, brother double-edged.”

Xiaozi’s eyes were filled with anticipation as it began to puff out clouds of smoke.

Lin Yu looked as the double-edged blade gradually fade away and felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable change in Xiaozi’s body.
