Blue and clear above the sky.
A quick streak of light crossed, with Han Ye sitting on a large sword about a meter wide, expressing his amazement consecutively.
“Miss Chu, can you fly with a sword?”
“Is that very strange?”
Chu Xianyu stood on the flying sword, her posture liberal, her white skirt fluttering in the wind, looking like a female sword Immortal.
“I only just learned, even a Qi Cultivation Realm cultivator, as long as they have a flying sword magic treasure, once they master the sword-controlling technique, flying is not a difficult task. Nowadays, almost all flying swords can achieve this. If one wants to fly in the sky, they need to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm or the Golden Core Realm.”
“The small town is still some distance away from the sect, so flying over with a
sword is faster.’1
Chu Xianyu patiently explained to Han Ye.
“Miss Chu, you know a lot.”
Han Ye embarrassedly laughed, he was actually not clear about these common knowledge details.
He looked at the figure in front, curiously asking:
“Miss Chu, with your talent, your cultivation level must be very high, right?” Chu Xianyu shook her head, her fair hand still forming a spell, she earnestly said, “I have not been cultivating for long. 1 spent most of my childhood in the Sword Tomb. However, I should be establishing the foundation soon.”
“What? You’re about to establish the foundation, so fast!
Han Ye was stunned when he heard that the other party was about to establish the foundation.
The establishing of the foundation, that meant she was probably a cultivator in the Qi Sea Realm, or the Perfection Realm.
This seemed too fast.
She only looked about eighteen years old.
“I remember you had triple spirit roots and a Tyrant King Bloodline?” Chu Xianyu, with her white gauze conical hat, looked at Han Ye through her veil, observing his sturdy arm, the pure masculine spirit that was enough proof of the hardships Han Ye had undergone in forging his body.
Han Ye did not expect that she had noticed him, he said, surprised, “I didn’t know you remembered, Miss Chu.”
Chu Xianyu looked towards the road ahead, leisurely said, “Cultivators are classified into Pill Cultivators, Talisman Cultivators, Body Cultivators, Sword Cultivators, and so on. Each person is skilled in different areas, and their achievements later on are also different. Sword Cultivators mostly focus on killing and are known for their fierce energy, but sometimes, they are no match for the formidable physical strength of Body Cultivators. They can defend as well as attack. I have seen the Body Cultivators who fought against my father, and each one of them was able to move mountains and fill the seas. Their vitality was as robust as a dragon, and they could fiercely withstand ancient artifacts using their bare hands.”
“If you can make good use of this gift, who could underestimate you in the future?”
Han Ye knew that she was comforting him.
Though Chu Xianyu seemed pretty innocent in life, in the domain of cultivation, she was absolutely a genius and had extraordinary insight, too.
He had purposefully researched the Chu Family of Fuyao State; this was an exceptional family. They not only practiced swordsmanship for generations and were a swordsmanship family, but also, their ancestors were among the carriers of the Middle Ancient Eight Swords, and their ancestry held an esteemed position in Fuyao State.
The so-called Middle Ancient Eight Swords were apparently the supreme swordsmanship lineage of Fuyao Sword Palace, the keeper of Fuyao State, whose ancestors were the highest sword immortals, each sword of theirs was an immortal artifact.
Han Ye and Chu Xianyu landed in a small town as they left Qingyun Immortal Mountain.
“You don’t need to worry then. The court wants to capture many people. There are quite a few every month.”
The three of them made their way through the market and streets. Meanwhile, Chu Xianyu was looking left and right at the stalls with paper figures, straw weaving, wooden utensils as they passed by. It seemed she was quite interested in those exotic and novel toys.
When she saw the candied hawthorn at the corner of the street, she swallowed her saliva.
Seeing her like this, Han Ye, unable to stifle a smile, took out some copper coins from his storage ring and said to the vendor:
“Get me a large string.”
“Alright, sir, here you go!”
“Here you go.”
Chu Xianyu took the candied hawthorn handed over by Han Ye with some confusion, “Weren’t you out of money?
“I have silver, but I don’t have spirit stones.”
Han Ye spread his hands, looking helpless.
“If you don’t have spirit stones, you can borrow from me, I have lots.”
Chu Xianyu said earnestly.
-Why didn’t you say that earlier?” Han Ye replied with a bitter smile. If he knew he could borrow money earlier, why would he accept the task?
The trio quickly arrived at the entrance of Chamberlain’s mansion.
Just as Han Ye stepped into the gate, a hysterical voice came from inside.
“It’s the lady! She is back!”
A woman with a pale face charged out from the mansion, her panic-stricken self behind Han Ye, clutching the sleeve of this young man standing in front of her, as if it were her lifeline. Despite her messy hair and the disarray in her appearance, one could still tell she was a beauty.
“Madam! Madam!”
Many maids came rushing out from behind, obviously searching for her. Liu Fugui, who was standing on the side, sighed, and explained to Han Ye, -Lady Chen is Chamberlain’s concubine. But barely seven days after she entered, she went completely mad, presumably due to a shock.” “Ahem!” Han Ye gave a light cough, calmly pulled his sleeve back, and reassured, “Lady, you do not need to panic. With us here, the evil aura will not dare to get out of line.”
“Yes, these two are disciples of the Dragon Sparrow Sect. They can deal with the evil force, and assure your safety. Come back over here and don’t bother the immortal anymore.”
Liu Fugui reassured her verbally, but his eyes were roaming all over Lady Chen. He thought to himself, Chamberlain Chen really knows how to enjoy life with such a young and beautiful woman.
He extended his hand, intending to pull her back.
But Lady Chen raised her frightened face, took one look at Liu Fugui, then another at Han Ye, and with a stutter, seemed to regain some of her senses for a brief moment. She immediately flung off Liu Fugui’s lecherous hand, shouting:
“No! This young master gives me more reassurance!
Then, she clung onto Han Ye’s arm, crying and wailing, “Immortal, you must protect me! The main lady, she came back last night. I did not harm her, but she has been haunting me!”
“On the first day I moved in, I felt something was off, I served tea to her spirit tablet, but the tea inexplicably spilled. On the night my husband met with an accident, his manner of death was hanging, exactly the same as hers. Not only that, but his pre-death appearance and facial expression were identical to how the main lady looked when she was laid to rest!”
“Immortal, save me!”
Han Ye and Chu Xianyu glanced at each other, then turned their heads, looking serious and told her earnestly:
“Lady, please slow down, and describe the details as clearly as possible.”
