Long Tian walked out of the ceremonial grounds; however, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure not far ahead. He recognized her at a glance; it was Liu Qian.

He quickened his pace and ended up right beside her. "It's nice to see you, Liu Qian," he greeted her, a smile etched on his face.

Liu Qian merely glanced at him and said nothing.

Long Tian could understand. "Come on, Qian'er, are you going to continue like this? Ye Chen is in the past, and you didn't really love him, did you?"

"Really? You say that after you callously killed him? Even with all that, you easily move on with another girl," Liu Qian said coldly.

"She's just a friend. And even if Ye Chen wasn't your boyfriend, I still would have killed him, so you could say it was just a coincidence," Long Tian replied.

"A coincidence, huh? I was wrong about you; you haven't changed since the old days!" Liu Qian retorted and then walked faster, leaving Long Tian behind.

Long Tian just watched Liu Qian's departure, somewhat puzzled about how to make her return to her old self.

In the end, he shook his head, forgetting about it, and headed straight to the cafeteria.

The sun rose higher, radiating its warmth. At Tianzhou High School, the bell rang, signaling the end of the school day.

Many students had gathered outside the gates, heading home to their respective houses.

Long Tian and Li Yue'er got into the car and began to leave the school premises.

"What do you think about the survival competition?" Long Tian initiated the conversation.

"I'm quite looking forward to it. It's the first time our school is participating, right?" Li Yue'er asked.

"Yes," Long Tian nodded, "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; you shouldn't miss it," he advised.

Li Yue'er grinned instead, "With my talent, I'll easily pass the selection, since there aren't many geniuses in Tianzhou High School," she said confidently.

"Oh, you seem to be getting more arrogant, I see," Long Tian remarked.

"Well, I learned a lot from you, including your arrogance," Li Yue'er responded, her smirk widening.

Long Tian laughed, "Hahaha, Li Yue'er, you never cease to amaze me. But you might want to assess the situation since you don't know how strong your opponents will be," he advised.

While the two of them were still discussing, Han Yuan had an indescribable expression. Although he didn't participate in the battle against the Golden Star sect, he knew enough to be aware that the Heartblade of Guo Jian hadn't been found yet.

This made him worried, as weeks ago, Qin Chen had asked him about the Heartblade of Guo Jian.

Amidst these thoughts, he raised his hand, making everyone, including Shi Huang, look at him.

"Do you have a suggestion, Elder Han?" Shi Huang asked.

"I just want to ask, did Qin Chen participate in that battle?" Han Yuan inquired.

"Yes, he did. Why do you ask, Elder Han?" Shi Huang asked back, his interest piqued.

"I'm just curious, Master Shi," Han Yuan replied.

Shi Huang nodded and continued the discussion with Yu Zhong.

Meanwhile, Han Yuan became even more worried. The Heartblade of Guo Jian hadn't been found yet, and Qin Chen, who had inquired about it, had participated in the battle...

These thoughts led him to a conclusion: Qin Chen might be the one who took the Heartblade.

------

The night grew darker without the moon in the sky. The discussion had concluded, but Yu Zhong didn't leave immediately, choosing to stay until the Heartblade was found.

Meanwhile, Han Yuan hurriedly walked around, heading to every training spot, cultivation room, technique room, and more.

All of this was to find Qin Chen.

However, after more than ten minutes, he still hadn't found him.

"Where are you, Qin Chen?" he muttered to himself.

He didn't give up and continued searching.

------

Meanwhile, outside the Wudang sect, near a lake, Qin Chen sat on a rock while munching on traditional Chinese snacks.

At the same time, he held and gazed at the Heartblade of Guo Jian. At the first time, he was very impressed and wanted to use it for himself, but now, for some reason, he didn't feel interested. He felt as if there was something difficult to explain about this Heartblade.

"But I have to admit, this purple color is truly beautiful and cool; I..." However, his voice trailed off as he sensed a presence behind him.

"Is that the Heartblade of Guo Jian?" a voice came from behind.
