Zhou Shu's provocation didn't work this time.
Shi Changsheng was unmoved and continued, "It's not that I'm not conscientious, but surnamed Diao placed that thing in Yuheng Valley. If I still had my strength from back then, it would have been fine. But now, I'm just a sword.
"You can't expect too much from a sword. I really can't protect you."
Shi Changsheng said helplessly, "If there's really no other way, I'll just return what I just swallowed to you.
"But then again, it's useless even if I return them to you. You might even die here this time. At that time, it would be a waste to leave them with you. You might as well give them to me—"
"Then, do you want to kill me now, loot my corpse, and take everything from me?" Zhou Shu said angrily. "In any case, I'm injured now, so I can't resist."
