Under the flowers and moonlit night, the red candles have extinguished. The skill level of the third layer gradually accumulates and rises. The next morning, the wind and snow subsided, the cold branches and red flowers were draped in snow, and frost hung from the roof eaves. All was silent, bringing a sense of tranquility.
The spacious chamber was seen, where sword practice was thoroughly enjoyable. The previous day’s Dual Swords Unite, the first layer, second layer, and third layer all had initial synergy. But it was sowhat rushed, and now alone in the chamber, there was more freedom.
It was said that all accumulated feelings, desires, hatred, and grievances were expressed in this swordsmanship. Montarily losing oneself, turning a deaf ear to the outside world. In a flash, it was dayti. Although Xiaotuan was young, she was naturally intelligent, managing all major and minor affairs of the Bi Xiang Shui Pavilion. The previous night had brought heavy snowfall, and in the morning, she needed to order people to clear the snow and tidy the courtyard.
Xiaotuan called the "Delicacy Pavilion" attendants, spending money to hire them to remove the snow and tidy up the courtyard. Xiaotuan shouted, "Before you enter the courtyard, you need to block your ears and lower your heads. Rember not to raise your heads or look around. The flowers and grasses inside possess great power. If you recklessly gaze, you may at best beco dizzy and faint on the spot, in dium cases, cold wind enters the body, or hot air scorches the body, leading to severe illness. At worst, it could be fatal, ending in death."
The attendants took cotton balls to block their ears and then sealed them with wax. Keeping their heads low, they entered to clean. Snow in the corridors was swept away, branches and leaves trimd...
Xiaotuan kept complaining, "Since Young Master Li arrived, Madam’s Bi Xiang Shui Pavilion can’t accommodate even half a woman. In the past, it was always the maids who cleared the snow and debris. Now they’ve beco attendants. These attendants don’t have the attention to detail of the maids. Sigh... If anything goes wrong, it’s who will get scolded and punished."
She, half a person high with a bun face, scolded the attendants with hands on her waist, but seeing no one responding, she beca enraged. Just as she was about to raise her voice, she rembered that the attendants had their ears blocked with cotton balls and wax; they couldn’t hear her scolding.
Feeling uninterested, she listened to the orioles chirping on the tiles, lodious and bright, saying, "Little oriole, little oriole, if you were a girl, Madam would see you off too. If I weren’t so young, I fear I couldn’t stay either."
Her face full of curiosity, "Passing by that chamber last night, I wonder what the two were playing that caused such joyous cries."
She leaned against the wall teasing the oriole. The attendants with their heads lowered and ears blocked, rely sweeping away the snow and clearing debris. When passing by the side chamber, they were utterly unaware of the enchanting sounds inside, missing out on a great joy.
It was noon. Li Xian, holding the Cyan Sword, practiced swordplay in the hall, feeling the echoes of the swordsmanship. Secretly pleased, he thought, "In terms of knowledge, experience, martial arts, realm, financial resources... I can’t compare to Madam, needing improvent. But in one regard, I surpass Madam. In this matter, she has been thoroughly defeated. No matter how fierce she is usually, at this point, all she can do is beg for rcy; her martial arts don’t matter a bit."
The sword scar on his right palm had healed, with a slight release of pent-up frustration. Li Xian tempered his Sword Dao, practicing the Setting Sun Bloodsword several tis, accumulating skill levels bit by bit. Listening to [Skill Level 1], [Skill Level 1]... The harvest was substantial, advancing step by step.

His sword skills advancing, Li Xian pondered, "The Yin Yang Immortal Lovers Sword is truly a co-cultivation swordsmanship. Dual Swords Unite, harmonious and joyful, elevating the Sword Dao far beyond solo practice. At this rate of progression, I wonder what the future will look like for my Sword Dao."
Li Xian sheathed his sword and ceased his practice. With fingers together, he transford his body into flowing golden light. In an instant, he flashed a distance of two feet. He moved to a screen and attempted to shuttle through using the Golden Light Technique. Several attempts were all blocked by the screen, making it difficult to pass through.
Li Xian muttered, "Golden Light Technique... While practicing Magic Dao, my body transforms into countless tiny dots of light, having form but lacking substance, able to flow like water through gaps. Let try again."
He mobilized his Magic Dao again, a mass of golden light collided with the screen, blocked by silk. Several hundred rays of light penetrated the silk gaps, but most remained outside the screen. Li Xian manifested his form again, blocked once more. He persisted, trying several tis.
The light penetrating the gaps beca more intense until suddenly, the majority of the light seed to pass through the screen, gathering into a form, and Li Xian was already on the inside of the screen.

[Description: Body transford into flowing light, shuttling freely.]
Li Xian attempted the Golden Light Technique again, wanting to return the way he ca. But due to just acquiring the Treasure Technique, it was not yet refined. The previous traversing of the screen was sheer coincidence. This ti he naturally failed, yet he did not dispirit, practicing until exhaustion.

And so, several days passed silently. Wen Caishang reclaid a sword each day, remaining closely bonded with Li Xian throughout the day, tangled in love, joyous and care-free, utterly unaware of changes outside.
Wen Caishang, experienced and composed, was unreserved about it, and with passion and desire naturally arising, they spent these days in blissful ecstasy, both heavenly and earthly, sharing a perfect ti.
That noon, Wen Caishang and Li Xian shared a al, with fine wine and delicacies, none of which were mundane. They had savored all nineteen delicacies from the Delicacy Pavilion.
Wen Caishang’s face blushed as she picked up a sweet paste, feeding Li Xian. Xiaotuan suddenly approached with lowered head, hesitating at the door. Although there was no disturbance, it already disrupted Wen Caishang’s elegant mood.
Wen Caishang frowned slightly, unwilling to show anger, yet sowhat displeased, asked lightly, "Xiaotuan, what’s the matter?"
Xiaotuan, trembling with fear, replied, "Madam, soone is outside looking for you. Do you want to see them or not?"
Wen Caishang took a sip of tea, raising her brow lightly, "Who is it this ti? If it’s He Wentian, tell them I’m in retreat and won’t see anyone." Xiaotuan shook her head, "It’s not City Lord He, but... but a lady."
