Chapter 45: Chapter 44: Lu Yuliu: Is this my master?

— Frosty Snow Peak —

To be honest, when she saw her master landing in front of her pavilion early in the morning, the sword fairy was a little panicked.

After all, this was the first day of her plan, and she herself was not sure if things would develop as she expected.

’I don’t know if that guy did something to make the master suspicious…’

Lu Yuliu was a bit uneasy, but her face remained calm as usual.

“This disciple greets Master.”

She bowed as usual.

“Um.”

Ling Shuangxue nodded her head slightly.

Phew, it seems that there is no problem? Her master is still the same as usual— It seems that the preparations she made in advance have really worked.

But she didn’t know why her master came to her so early in the morning.

Seeing the usual expression on her master’s face, Lu Yuliu felt more relieved.

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Ling Shuangxue spit out two words lightly:

“Let’s go.”

Go? Where to?

A row of question marks instinctively flashed through Lu Yuliu’s little brain.

But she restrained herself from showing her doubts on her face.

Could it be that guy made an appointment with her as herself and the master to go somewhere? No, it could also be that the master finally survived the life-and-death crisis and wanted to take her somewhere?

In any case, she couldn’t show any flaws.

Thinking of this, the sword fairy, who knew that too much talk would lose the game, obediently replied:

“Yes.”

After getting her disciple’s response, Ling Shuangxue’s eyes revealed a sense of “as expected”.

There would be no mistakes. The story that her disciple deliberately chose to tell her yesterday, was completely chosen for this moment.

Even the developments that would follow were somewhat predictable to her talented disciple.

Otherwise, how could she be so calm at this moment?

’This child has really grown up after experiencing the world…’

Ling Shuangxue thought with satisfaction.

After traveling the world, she had also learned some new words that were used in the outside world.

For example, when her disciple said “offline” when she broke off the connection with the short sword yesterday, she had to think about it for a while to understand what the other party meant.

In addition, she was quite satisfied with the fact that Lu Yuliu did not mention the message transmission from last night.

She was afraid that her disciple would bring up the matter of the message transmission… she was not ready to change her usual attitude yet.

This way was just right.

So she wrapped her disciple in her own Nascent Soul-level spiritual power as usual.

Although her cultivation was not fully restored yet, the power of her Nascent Soul cultivation stage could already be used.

Teleport!

Lu Yuliu felt a moment of weightlessness and then it disappeared without a trace.

Where did her master take her?

Thinking about it, the little girl looked around at the scenery.

This is a mountaintop.

There is a small pavilion on the top of the peak.

A majestic and heavy bronze ancient clock is hanging in the pavilion.

’This place.. could it be…’

Although Lu Yuliu had a vague idea of where she was, her heart was rejecting the answer she came up with.

It must be her own mistake, how could her master possibly…

But before she could deny it in her mind, she heard a transmission from her master.

“Yuliu, do not move from this place…”

“Today, I will challenge the leader of the other peak with my sword.”

Dong-dong-dong!

The bell rang.

When the sword bell rang, the sword peak moved.

On each peak of the Sword Sect, there was a bell like this, left for the challenger who aimed to challenge the peak leader.

The bell ringing meant that someone came to challenge the leader of the peak.

On the peaks nearby, towering sword rainbows rose to the sky, rushing to this peak to witness this grand event.

Lu Yuliu was a bit stunned.

Her master… was smiling?

Her master wanted to challenge the other peak leader with her sword?

Her first reaction was that she had another episode and even hallucinated.

Her second reaction was that her master was also having a similar illness like hers?

Her third reaction…

She thought of someone.

Luo Wusheng!

Her master’s change was definitely related to that guy!

Otherwise, why did her master have such a strange change yesterday?

The sword fairy couldn’t wait to see what that guy said to her master last night.

She had a vague sense of unease.

But looking at her master, who was now standing in mid-air, waiting for the master of the peak to arrive, Lu Yuliu was also a bit worried.

The masters of the other peaks were all in the Nascent Soul stage, and in this situation, Ling Shuangxue, who was still recovering from her injuries, would definitely be at a disadvantage.

’What did that guy say to her master? Why did her master choose to challenge the other peak today? Obviously, her master used to disdain doing things that were only done to gain fame…’

Lu Yuliu wanted to ask these questions, but she had to maintain her appearance of knowing everything to avoid exposing herself, and she couldn’t ask them right now.

It seemed that she could only find out the real reason after she got back her wooden sword from her master

While she was thinking all of this, the Master of the peak where she was had already arrived.

After all, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, teleporting here was just a thought for Zhou Lingyu, the peak leader of the Spirit Rain Peak. Though he appeared to be a young man, his temples were white as snow and he stood with a sword in his hand, wearing a green robe.

Upon seeing him, Lu Yuliu realized where she was – Spirit Rain Peak.

Zhou Lingyu seemed puzzled when he saw Ling Shuangxue, who had just awakened from her injuries and had yet to fully recover, ringing the sword bell. He furrowed his brows and spoke in a tone tinged with disbelief, “Ling Shuangxue? How can it be you who are ringing the sword bell? Didn’t you just wake up yesterday and your cultivation hasn’t fully recovered yet?”

The number of onlookers on Spirit Rain Peak began to increase rapidly, and even some Nascent Soul leaders from other peaks came to watch the scene.

But they all wore expressions of confusion no less than Zhou Lingyu’s. Putting aside the fact that this Frosty Snow Peak leader was still recovering from her injuries, the previous Ling Shuangxue was not the type of person who would ring the sword bell of a peak like this. This kind of thing was usually done by young sword cultivators who were newly promoted to Nascent Soul and didn’t know the height of the sky or the depth of the earth.

It was obvious that Ling Shuangxue was not such a person.

However, in response to these questions, Ling Shuangxue only gently extended her hand and said, “Sword, come.”

As soon as her words fell, a slender sword with a cold light seemed to cross space and landed in Ling Shuangxue’s palm.

At the moment she held the sword, a certain inexplicable sword intent emanated from her. Although she had not yet made a move, the sword aura was already present.

Zhou Lingyu’s face immediately became serious. He was very sure that Ling Shuangxue hadn’t fully recovered her cultivation, but the fierce sword intent that she exhibited made him feel a little uneasy and forced him to step back.

The onlookers were also in a state of confusion.

Ling Shuangxue held the sword and paid no attention to all of this.

After resolving her inner conflicts, her sword intent had indeed reached a new level. She came here today to solidify this intent and take the first step on a new path.

In this way, the day she completely refined the Blood Spirit Jade would be the day she advanced to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

And all of this was brought to her by her disciple.

She didn’t look back at Lu Yuliu because she believed that her disciple must have already known everything.

However, what she didn’t know was that the sword fairy was staring at her with her mouth slightly open, looking completely bewildered. Was this really her master?
