Chapter 253: Chapter 252: To Sister Yuli

Chapter 252: To Sister Yuli

In the Sword Sect, on Spirit Rain Peak, Lu Yuliu held the transmission sword in her hand, lost in thought.

Just a short while ago, another significant event had occurred within the Sword Sect.

The peak master of Spirit Rain Peak, Zhou Lingyue, experienced a sudden surge in insight, further comprehending the essence of his Pure Yang Sword, breaking through a long-standing barrier.

He slashed at the sun with one strike, laughed loudly three times, and announced his seclusion to break through to the mid-stage Nascent Soul.

At that moment, only two people were present: the Peak Master of Fragrant Fox Peak, Zhou Lingyue’s almost publicly acknowledged hidden Dao companion, Lin Meixiang, and a completely bewildered direct disciple from Frosty Snow Peak…

When the spiritual awareness of countless Nascent Soul-level elders from across the Sword Sect swept over the two Peak Masters and then landed on herself, the Sword Fairy couldn’t help but feel that she had been unjustly implicated.

Now, every time she stepped out of Frosty Snow Peak, she feared more elders would “invite” her to visit.

But the problem was… she really hadn’t done anything this time!

Although she genuinely wished for her senior uncle to break through, there were limits to the insights she could offer—her knowledge was genuinely exhausted.

She couldn’t possibly recount all the stories told by a certain bully, right?

If she began lecturing her senior uncle and aunt about monkeys, pigs, and bo-staff wielding demons fighting spiders, bats, and goblins, her days in the Sword Sect would surely be numbered.

In the end, she came up with a new solution.

If she had nothing to teach, then she wouldn’t teach.

Switching tactics, she assumed the role of a junior and respectfully asked the two Peak Masters to share stories of their past.

As it turned out, the lovestruck Peak masters were more than happy to recount their passionate youth—or, rather, boast about it.

It seemed they had never found a suitable listener for this topic, and so the two Sword Sect elders were overjoyed to reminisce.

Lu Yuliu listened attentively, even though their storytelling wasn’t as captivating as a certain someone’s. What they lacked in flair, they made up for with heartfelt emotions, with Senior Uncle Zhou often gazing off into the distance in nostalgia.

And since there was hardly anything inappropriate for young audiences, many events were recounted in vivid detail.

She felt like she learned quite a lot.

Hmm… maybe she could try doing those things with that annoying bully in the future…

’But he didn’t send me a message after yesterday… Hmph, it’s not like I’m actually ignoring him.’

’That blockhead! I wonder what’s keeping him so busy. I guess I’ll just send him a message later myself…’

As the Sword Fairy listened to the two affectionate Peak Masters, her heart occasionally rippled with emotion, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

However, that smile quickly froze.

So… why did Senior Uncle break through in the middle of showing off their love?

And how did she get caught up in this mess?

Her mind was now filled with the phrases taught to her by a certain Demon Sect Holy Saint.

Just as she was lost in these thoughts, a message arrived from the very person she had been grumbling about. In a daze, she absentmindedly offered her congratulations.

Now that everything had settled down, she found herself curled up in Spirit Rain Peak, rereading his message.

“So… what kind of trouble has he gotten into this time? He’s not forging weapons again, is he?”

Lu Yuliu tilted her head slightly, furrowing her brows.

She wanted to ask, but she feared it might hurt her pride.

Things concerning him were always so complicated.

But at least when it came to swordsmanship, she still far surpassed the Demon Sect Holy Saint, who had only just begun to condense his sword intent.

’Maybe while I’m back at the Sword Sect, I should find something to help him refine his sword intent… It was easier for me since my sword intent evolved naturally, but I’ve forgotten where I put those resources.’

’…Master should know, but I can’t think of a good reason to ask about something like that.’

’Come to think of it, Sword Nurturing Tea should also help stabilize his sword intent. Once the Human Immortal List competition is over, I should try to ask Master for some as a reward.’

Her thoughts drifted further and further.

“I wonder what he’s doing right now…”

Since Senior Uncle Zhou is already preparing for his breakthrough, it seems like I can finally take my leave, right?

Just as this thought crossed her mind, a voice came from outside the sword chamber, belonging to a disciple on duty at Spirit Rain Peak.

“Senior Sister Lu, there’s a letter for you… from the Royal City.”

Lu Yuliu was slightly taken aback and put away the transmission sword in her hand.

A letter sent to her from the Royal City…

Her eyes flickered as she gently pushed open the stone door of the sword chamber.

In an instant, she snatched the letter from the stunned disciple outside and closed the door at lightning speed.

The corners of the young girl’s beautiful face twitched slightly.

In that brief moment when she opened the door, she could no longer count how many spiritual awareness, full of longing for breakthroughs, had focused on her.

It seemed that retreating successfully wouldn’t be as easy as she thought…

But there was a new issue to deal with now.

Lu Yuliu picked up the letter, lightly brushing her fingers over it, feeling the subtle aura it carried.

“As expected, it’s a reply from Bai Xiaoyao…”

But the speed was impressive—it had only been two or three days since she sent her letter.

Fortunately, she hadn’t left the Sword Sect too quickly; otherwise, who knows how many twists and turns the letter would have gone through to reach her.

Opening the envelope, she found a folded letter inside.

On one piece of paper, written neatly in elegant handwriting, were the words “To Senior Brother,” with faint traces of spiritual energy forming array patterns—Demon Sect’s secret correspondence method, designed to prevent anyone else from reading it.

Hmm… she probably wasn’t worried about me sneaking a peek, right?

Feeling a little uneasy, Lu Yuliu glanced at the other letter.

“To Sister Yuli.”

The handwriting was casual, with no security measures in place at all.

The Sword Fairy remained silent.

…

Within the secret realm of Daybreak Mountain.

To be honest, Ling Shuangxue was a bit confused about the current situation.

The Sword Enlightenment Incense had burned halfway through, which meant that Luo Wusheng had likely been in the sword comprehension illusion for around five years.

However, the young man who should have been quietly resting in her embrace until the incense’s effect ended was now sitting unsteadily in front of her, half-closed eyes blinking.

In his hand, he gently held a small jade stone.

The stone emitted a soft moonlight, with two star-like shadows flickering between brightness and darkness.

The young man’s voice softly echoed.

“This object… huff… is called the Star-Moon Jade…”

“It was crafted from the Moon Palace’s moonlight spiritual essence of the ancient Heavenly Court… infused with the essence of the stars…”

“This… is the only one… huff…”

“I wish to… gift it to the fairy…”

Before Ling Shuangxue could react, spiritual energy flowed from Luo Wusheng’s hand into the jade stone.

In the blink of an eye, the jade transformed into a ring, radiating starry and lunar light.

Next, he gently lifted the woman’s delicate, pale hand—soft and slender despite her years wielding a sword—and slid the perfectly fitting ring onto the middle finger of her left hand.

The whole process was smooth and uninterrupted, as if it had been practiced countless times.

“The stars and moon are beautiful… but they cannot compare to the fairy’s sword dance…”

“The world’s only… huff… Star-Moon Jade…”

“It was clearly meant for the fairy all along…”
