Li Yuan and Gu Xuejian gazed at each other. In this mont, silence spoke louder than words, and everything was understood without being said.
"Give it a na," Gu Xuejian suddenly suggested.
Li Yuan replied, "This sword belongs to Lady Hall Master, thus it must resonate with her intentions. Even a na should reflect this, lest the sword falters because of it."
"Sun and Moon in the Sky, how about that?" Gu Xuejian proposed.
Li Yuan was montarily taken aback; his daughter was nad Li Rui.
The sun and moon shining upon jade, only to... "depart too soon."
So, Sun and Moon in the Sky, isn’t it as if Gu Xuejian considered this sword his daughter, intending to soar with her to the peak, overlooking the human world?
"Alright."
Li Yuan took a deep breath, tears of old mories streaming down his face.
Gu Xuejian stepped forward, gently stroking his white hair with her hand.
The mont she grasped the sword, she comprehended its weight, thereby forging a profound spiritual bond with the man before her that no one else could understand.
"Once I leave, it’s likely to be a while...
Li Yuan, is there anything you’d like to do for you?"
Gu Xuejian’s voice was gentle.
Then she added, "I regard Ping’an as if he were my own; you needn’t worry."
Li Yuan glanced around the distance, suddenly saying, "I have a maid nad Yaojue, she’s with Huayin. She’s a smart and talented maid, only... she’s just a maid."
Gu Xuejian chuckled softly; this man truly amused her, sotis so courteous and polite, other tis exuding heroic spirit, yet now so sentintal...
She turned her head, her gaze sweeping the surroundings, and called out, "Miss Yaojue."
From the back, the long-legged maid cautiously hunched over as she erged from the crowd.
For the first ti, everyone’s eyes were on this maid.
Yaojue’s heart raced like never before, her mind blank, "Greetings, Lady Hall Master, greetings, esteed elders..."
Gu Xuejian, who was wearing a wooden vine bracelet on her wrist, removed one and placed it on Yaojue’s hand, smiling as she said, "The size seems just right."
"Lady... Lady Hall Master..."
The usually eloquent and sharp-witted maid now stamred.
Gu Xuejian said, "It seems there’s no family nad Yao in this world."
Yaojue hurriedly replied, "I... I am rely a maid, I have no family na..."
Gu Xuejian chuckled, "From now on, you’ll be called Gu Yaojue; I accept you as my sworn sister."
Yaojue wanted to bow in gratitude, but Gu Xuejian held her up.
"From now on, you’re not to refer to yourself as a maid to anyone, nor need you bow to anyone."
"Yes... Lady Hall Master."
"Hall Master?"
"Sister... sister..."
"When Sister returns, I’ll take a good look at you, my girl."
Gu Xuejian, holding the Sun and Moon in the Sky, turned to Li Yuan and sincerely said, "Thank you."
Li Yuan sincerely replied, "Thank you."
They exchanged one last look. Gu Xuejian, in her white garnt, with a red wine gourd elegantly swaying at her waist, ascended into the sky, ready to head to the frontline.
The sky stretched endlessly, leaving only her lone silhouette.
This ti, Gu Xuejian was filled with unprecedented confidence.
Though the frontline was in disarray, she could single-handedly reverse the tide.
...
Yaojue helped Li Yuan up; her eyes were red as if she was about to cry.
Princess Consort Yin approached.
Yaojue called, "Mistress..."
Lady Yin, understanding the situation, lightly said, "From now on, just call Huayin; we’re sisters, our bond unchanged, everything as it always was."
After speaking, she ca to Li Yuan, gently stroking his full head of white hair, showing a slightly somber expression before turning away and elegantly smiling, "Congratulations, my husband."
Jing Shuixiang, along with the mourning Li Ping’an, also ca to Li Yuan’s side.
Li Yuan weakly said, "Let’s go ho first."
Having spoken, he displayed a look of happiness and relief, smiling as he said, "Since it’s a joyful occasion, let’s go ho and cook a few more dishes.
Ping’an, soon you and your old dad should have a drink. You fool of a son, I can’t help but worry about you."
"Oh, dad." The pride of heaven’s weeping child continued to cry.
Li Yuan said, "Instead of crying, why not think about how to break my move... Do you think our training ends here? Fool of a son, your Blade One is not yet complete, is it?"
"Soon... soon..." The weeping prodigy wiped his tearful eyes, a look of determination appearing within.
...
...
"Cough... cough cough cough..."
Violent coughing filled the hidden chamber, yet the hand holding the blade remained steady, and his posture was as tall and unyielding as the thousand-fathom lonely cliff, insurmountable.
"Is this all you’ve got?"
Li Yuan angrily pounded the long blade in his hand, with his white hair like a lion’s mane, shaking vigorously.
Opposite him was Li Ping’an, who had been overwheld once again.
"It’s not that I lack capability, but dad... you’re too strong." No matter how proud Li Ping’an was, he couldn’t help but admit this.
His father was clearly using Seventh Grade power, yet it felt like a mountain high on the cloud, unreachable.
"Heh... would you say that if facing an enemy?
Your enemies won’t spare you!"
Li Yuan angrily said, "Since you’re so useless, I’d rather cripple you myself now than see you killed by others later!"
With that, a terrifying aura emanated from him, waves of nacing killing intent locking onto Li Ping’an, and the blade in his hand vibrated at a terrifying frequency, bending even light, making him appear like a black silhouette, standing in the sunlight from the skylight, yet still shrouded in darkness.
A piercing shriek of tallic demon fiends seed to shatter the confidence of all who heard it.
Because this was the divine skill among Seventh Grade Sword Skills, standing above all, a skill fundantally unbreakable.
With one stroke, it was ethereal and piercing as a rainbow, directed towards Li Ping’an’s legs.
Li Ping’an’s body suddenly stiffened. He could feel that this stroke genuinely intended to sever his legs... not in the slightest bit of jest...
