Mu Yao stopped in her tracks and turned around slowly with a smile. “It looks like you weren’t going to say anything unless I force you.”

When the man saw the smile on the woman’s face, he instantly came to a realization: That woman had merely put on a show for him!

The woman slowly walked closer, and the teasing smile from before instantly disappeared. She immediately regained her usual cold temperament. “Tell me, what is behind this stone door, and who are you? Why are they so afraid of you?”

Although the man was angry, he did not show it on his face. He raised his fair and well-defined face.

A hint of sincerity flashed across his deep eyes. “Sure. Firstly, I really don’t remember who I am. I don’t know how I got here. I don’t know what’s outside the stone door either, but I know that the place we’re at now is safe. Moreover, I don’t have any intention of harming you. I have lost all of my spiritual power. Even if I break the chains, I won’t be able to do anything to you. You can rest assured.”

The man continued, “As for the roars of the animals and beasts, I have heard them countless times. However, every time they approach the door, they would leave on their own accord. I said that earlier because I was afraid that they would hurt you if you went in. They’ve always loitered at the door and refused to come in. I think there might be something in this cave that they are afraid of.”

Mu Yao glanced at him, then caught his sincere gaze. Stunned for a moment, she said, “Alright, go on.”

“But I have another hypothesis. This stone door might be a one-way door. The door could be blocking them from entering,” the man suggested.

A hint of gloominess flashed across Mu Yao’s eyes. If that was the case, Mu Yao might never have made it back after walking through those doors.

This stone door was very likely a one-way door. But there were no other doors in the cave to walk through other than these four. However, if the exit was outside doors, they would stay in this place forever if they refused to step through those doors. They would probably survive, but they would never be able to leave. Then, Mu Yao wouldn’t be able to meet her parents!

No matter what, she had to get out!

However, Mu Yao wasn’t sure if she could defeat the beasts outside. Besides, if she really couldn’t come back, she would miss out on the swordsmanship this man had mentioned.

As such, Mu Yao said slowly, “You do have a point. What was that sword technique you were talking about?”

A trace of darkness flashed past the man’s deep eyes. Just as he expected, he still had to rely on his swordsmanship!

The man then said indifferently, “I need two people to complete it together. When the time comes, I can directly break open the cave from above.”

“So, do you mean that your swordsmanship can help you recover your spiritual power?” Mu Yao asked.

“Yes, two people need to practice it together. Only after completing the 100 moves above will it be considered complete.” Then, an indescribable feeling flashed across the man’s deep eyes.

Mu Yao had only glanced at the images casually and hadn’t yet seen every move. For some reason, Mu Yao calmed down and walked to the man’s side to once again look at the images of his swordsmanship.

The man watched as Mu Yao concentrated on the techniques, the strange look in his eyes became more obvious.

However, the man didn’t stop her. Instead, he raised his wrist and stood beside Mu Yao, saying slowly, “Woman, if you’re done looking at this set of sword techniques and believe me, why don’t you give it a try? I only have one request, and that is to use your silver sword to help me cut these four chains. Only then can I teach you properly. However, if you don’t believe me and are afraid that I will hurt you, I won’t be able to help you. You’ll have to fend for yourself.”

Mu Yao thought to herself, “What a way to goad me..”
