"Pu Shiming, I have something to say to Zhu Minglang. Go check the water first," Zhu Xuehen said to Pu Shiming.
Pu Shiming looked at them and nodded his head. He walked out of the inn, which was where the River Celestial Ghost that Zhu Minglang had killed appeared.
Zhu Xuehen walked to the other side of the inn. She walked under the big camphor tree and stood in front of it. Her back was facing Zhu Minglang. Her snow-white neck was exposed under her coiled hair and clothes.
Zhu Minglang saw that she didn't speak, so he didn't speak either.
It had been like this for many years. Zhu Xuehen didn't talk much. Sometimes, she would throw down a sword manual without saying a word. Zhu Minglang would know that he had to recite the whole thing.
Zhu Minglang had always called Zhu Xuehen an elder. But most of the time, Zhu Xuehen was more like a cold and proud sister. She wasn't much older than him. After entering Mount Xuan Sword Sect, Zhu Minglang was thrown into Abandoned Sword Forest by Sword Venerable's grandfather to live with Zhu Xuehen.
Usually, Sword Venerable's grandfather didn't see many people. Most of the time, it was Zhu Xuehen who taught Zhu Minglang the sword. So to outsiders, Zhu Minglang's master was more like Zhu Xuehen.
The wind was a bit strong. After all, it was winter. The branches of the camphor tree swayed and made a sound like an old man moaning in pain.
Zhu Xuehen turned around. Just like before, she didn't make any small talk. She went straight to the point: "Where's the girl with you?"
"Who is Auntie talking about?" Zhu Minglang didn't understand.
"The one I saw in Zulong City," Zhu Xuehen said.
"Nan Lingsha?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"Do you know who they are?" Zhu Xuehen asked.
"They are from Ancestor Dragon City State's Li Family and Nan Family. Isn't this obvious?" Zhu Minglang was confused.
"Li Chuan isn't an isolated place. It's surrounded by strange forbidden areas. Some of the forbidden areas are even more terrifying than many of the ancient temples in the Polar Court Continent. It's the Lost Earth of a continent, at least not of the Polar Court Continent," Zhu Xuehen said seriously.
Zhu Minglang nodded. "The world is splitting, but it's also bordering. I've also thought about this."
"The Imperial Capital has already obtained some important clues. If nothing unexpected happens, their other identities will soon be discovered," Zhu Xuehen continued.
"What identity?" Zhu Minglang asked in confusion.
"Outlanders."
"Isn't every inhabitant of Li Chuan an outsider to the Polar Court Continent? In other words, everyone in the Polar Court Continent is an outsider to the people of Li Chuan, "Zhu Minglang said.
Two continents that didn't want to be connected were bordering each other. To the other side, they were all outlanders.
Zhu Minglang didn't think that this identity needed to be taken seriously. The world itself was vast, and there were many places that had yet to be explored. Perhaps the Polar Court Continent was also a small and backward place compared to the other world.
"What do you think my cultivation is now?" Zhu Xuehen suddenly asked.
This was really difficult for Zhu Minglang.
Zhu Xuehen's cultivation was very strange.
When Zhu Minglang was in the Xuan Mountain Sword Sect, he was a Swordsman prodigy. The speed at which his cultivation improved shocked all the teachers.
Zhu Minglang didn't have anyone else by his side at the time, so he'd always used Zhu Xuehen as a reference. He wanted to surpass her one day.
But with every increase in cultivation level, Zhu Minglang felt that Zhu Xuehen's cultivation had also increased by a level.
It was the same now.
He was half a king-level dragon herder. His observation skills were far better than ordinary cultivators. When he looked at Zhu Xuehen's cultivation again, she'd improved again …
Of course, this wasn't all that strange.
After all, he couldn't be the only one improving in this world.
Zhu Xuehen would reach the king-level sooner or later.
"King-level," Zhu Minglang said.
"Then how many people in this world do you think can defeat me?" Zhu Xuehen continued asking.
"Well … Aunt, the king-level is very powerful, but as far as I know, all the big sects and clans have some old monsters at the king-level. Looking at the entire Polar Court Continent, there should be a lot of king-level cultivators. Aunt, you should be at the quasi or lower level of the king-level. If you meet a mid-level or lower level king-level cultivator, you'll have a hard time," Zhu Minglang said honestly.
"Thousands of people can defeat me. But in three years at most, less than ten people will be able to defeat me." Zhu Xuehen gave Zhu Minglang an extremely confident answer.
Zhu Minglang looked at his young and cold aunt. His heart was in turmoil.
As expected of his master.
She was as arrogant as his master!
"I believe you can do it." Zhu Minglang nodded.
"They can do it too." At this moment, Zhu Xuehen suddenly changed the topic.
"They?" Zhu Minglang paused.
"Li Yunzi and Nan Lingsha." Zhu Xuehen said their names and calmly narrated, "Some talents are innate. They are the same type of people as me, but they are also very dangerous."
"Aunt is telling me all this. What exactly do you want me to do?" Zhu Minglang was even more confused.
Zhu Minglang knew a little about the identities of the Li sisters. They were the descendants of Shen Ji. They were probably one of the most ancient clans. At the same time, they had great cultivation potential. They were blessed by nature and had been passed down for generations …
But Zhu Xuehen suddenly said that they were the same kind of people. This confused Zhu Minglang.
Was Zhu Xuehen also a descendant of Shen Ji? Was she a direct descendant of the founder of Dragon Husbandry or the founder of Tianqi who became a god?
Did they have extraordinary talents and superior bloodlines? Their cultivation was improving faster than anyone else?
"Stay away from them."
After Zhu Xuehen said this, he didn't say anything else and walked along the small path towards the river.
"Then is this also the reason why Auntie always acts as though we do not know each other?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"Yes," Zhu Xuehen replied.
"That's good. I thought I disappointed you."
"I'm also very disappointed. I hope you can see my true cultivation one day. Only you are qualified to listen to some words."
"…"
Zhu Minglang looked at Zhu Xuehen's back.
How arrogant!
Those who did not know better would think that they were mortal enemies.
After all, they used to be family.
But what did Zhu Xuehen tell him?
They were the same kind of people?
What kind of people were they?
They had inheritances that were different from the knowledge of this world. They shouldered a very grand mission and did not want to drag him down?
Or were they fairies who came down to experience life, but were determined not to have any feelings for mortals and had to return to the Heavenly Court when the time came?
If it was the latter, Zhu Minglang could understand why Zhu Xuehen wanted to draw a clear line between them.
But Zhu Minglang felt that Zhu Xuehen still could not let go of him giving up Swordsman.
He had indeed let her down. After all, with her personality, she would not teach a disciple on a whim.
