That face, beautiful enough to captivate the whole city, could brighten even this naless path. Coupled with her identity as a Sword Immortal, truly invoked a feeling of being struck by a celestial being.
For so reason, watching Xia Daoyun walking towards him, a poem suddenly flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind, and then he couldn't help but laugh after coming back to his senses.
She certainly isn't Ding Xiang, too petty, but a snow lotus from the Heavenly Mountain might suffice.
Xia Daoyun walked to the front of Qingshan Palace, her steps light, not causing even a ripple, her figure then rose into the air, landing beside Lu Qingshan, without saying a word.
Drip, drip.
Raindrops knocked on the scaled roof tiles, gathering into thin streams of water that flowed gently along the grooves and eaves.
Lu Qingshan gazed, lost in thought, at the rainwater flowing through the tile seams, suddenly asking softly, "What was your biggest dream as a child?"
"As a child... back then, I mainly wanted to sleep in every day, instead of getting up early to practice swordsmanship," replied the female Sword Immortal, who was sent to the Sword Sect to learn swordsmanship from a young age, after serious consideration.
Lu Qingshan could not help but chuckle.
"And what about you?" Xia Daoyun slightly raised an eyebrow, giving Lu Qingshan a glance.
Lu Qingshan pondered for a mont, answering seriously, "I wanted to watch cartoons without ads, eat snacks until I'm full, drink cola until I'm tired of it, want my New Year's money not to be taken away, and not to have to do howork..."
Perhaps only when with Xia Daoyun, this young sect master bearing so much could temporarily lay down so burdens, and speak freely.
Xia Daoyun tilted her head slightly.
She couldn't really understand what Lu Qingshan was saying, but she listened earnestly.
"You sure want a lot," Xia Daoyun comnted seriously.
"As people grow up, they actually beco greedier," Lu Qingshan muttered.
"Half a month ago, the Northern Barbarian tribe began amassing troops at the border, without a doubt, they are about to attack the Heavenly River," Lu Qingshan continued.
"The second Taoist-Magic War is coming." Xia Daoyun also understood this news naturally.
"Where does the smoke of war not rise?" Lu Qingshan nodded softly.
After a long silence, Xia Daoyun said without reason, "Go."
Lu Qingshan suddenly turned to look at Xia Daoyun.
"Peak Master Xue and Zang Xiaojian have temporarily diverted the War Venerable, now only Chi Venerable remains on the front line."
"Sooner, the two fierce tigers glaring and you can't pull yourself away, later, the smoke of war rising and they can't pull themselves away."
"This is the best opportunity," Xia Daoyun said calmly.
Lu Qingshan responded with a hum, carefully watching Xia Daoyun, "This ti, I can't guarantee I will return safely."
"Will you co back?" Xia Daoyun seed not to hear Lu Qingshan's words, straightforwardly asking.
"I will." Lu Qingshan thought for a mont and said firmly.
"Then go."
"I have also recovered sowhat, I'll watch over Yun Pass, rest assured."
Standing in Qingshan Palace for a long ti, Lu Qingshan looked around.
The heavens and earth were clear, but the atmosphere was desolate.
Lu Qingshan raised his arm.
The unceasing autumn rain suddenly froze in place at this mont.
Then, Lu Qingshan gently waved his hand again.
The raindrops that were frozen in midair all returned upwards, towards the Heaven's Vault.
The world turned upside down, a path devoid of a single raindrop appeared before Lu Qingshan.
"Heaven and Earth must make way for too!" he shouted.
In the next mont, Lu Qingshan transford into a streak of Sword Light, heading northward.
That was the direction of Heavenly River City.
The female Sword Immortal did not watch Lu Qingshan's departing figure, just glanced at the sky, her smile faint but proud, "This entire Heaven and Earth is watching you... regardless of success or failure, who else between Azure Fall and Netherworld could be a second?"
