(Don't use yesterday's chapter name. I'll use it again if I find a suitable chapter.)

Xiwang Sun said, "I've only asked you to do this one thing in recent years, so I hope your answer won't disappoint me."
Xiao He of Ying City was a bit nervous, saying, "Jing Jiu didn't tell him about me, so he didn't recognize me."
When she mentioned that name, she felt a dull pain in her chest, as if the iron sword was still inside.
Xiwang Sun said, "Good. I hope he didn't notice you when you were following him."
Xiao He of Ying City said, "Please rest assured. I'm sure he didn't notice me."
Xiwang Sun asked, "What about you? Did you find anything? "
Xiao He of Ying City said, "I didn't see him contact anyone, nor did I see that sword."
After a moment of silence, Xiwang Sun said, "Don't worry about it. Just look around. Don't make him suspicious."
Xiao He of Ying City said, "I understand."
"You don't understand."
Xiwang Sun said in a cold voice, "Even if you are a vixen, don't try to charm him. That child's Dao Heart is rare in the world. I want you to be his fetter, not to climb into his bed. So don't use those tricks carelessly."
Xiao He of Ying City was a bit uneasy, asking, "What should I do then?"
Xiwang Sun said, "Give him true affection so that he will feel sorry for you. Remember, the affection must be real."
Having said that, he waved his hand to signal her to leave.
The grand hall returned to quietness.
The light screen faded away.
Instead, his face became clearer.
He didn't understand.
The First Child Sword was his Master's sword, which was lost in this land. Why did it appear in the hands of Liu Shisui? Was it the will of the Immortal?
Where did Liu Shisui hide the sword? Why hadn't he found anything after so many years?
…
…
Xiao He left the Cloud Platform and came to Haizhou City.
Ever since she accepted this mission, she had moved from Ying City to this place and bought a restaurant.
Sitting in a private room of the restaurant and looking at the food on the table, she had no appetite.
She looked calm, but she was actually quite nervous, because she kept rubbing the bracelet on her wrist with her fingers.
The bracelet looked very ordinary. Its surface was smooth and somewhat cold.
Over the years, she had developed this habit. Whenever she faced a difficult situation, she would constantly touch the bracelet.
Because it would make her feel extreme fear.
Fear is the best way to calm a person down.
On an evening a few days ago, she met Liu Shisui for the first time under the lanterns of the Four-Seas Banquet, and they naturally got to know each other.
She knew that Liu Shisui was the organization's focus, but she didn't take this mission seriously because she was very good at it.
However, from the moment she saw Liu Shisui, she began to panic.
Why was that jasmine flower on his collar?
…
…
In the blink of an eye, another year had passed.
The sea breeze blew as usual. The man and woman under the lanterns might have changed, but the scene was no different from before.
Aoyama was still the same; Tianguang Peak was still as high as before; Shanghai Peak was still as cold as before; Shiyue Peak was still as noisy as before; and Shenmo Peak was still as lonely as before.
Same as before, Shenmo Peak seemed to be isolated from the rest of the world, except that Young Sister Yushan would occasionally come to bring some things to Yuan Qu.
The disciples of Shiyue Peak would bring their daily necessities to the bottom of the peak, and then the monkeys would bring them to the top of the peak.
The people of Xilai Peak felt even more lonely, because Shenmo Peak seemed to have no need for books on Cultivation.
Yuan Qu's initial state of the Undefeated had been stabilized.
Zhao Layue was still experiencing the changes brought about by the Free Travel State.
Gu Qing's Cultivation state was more profound, and he had a better grasp of the Inherited Heaven Sword style.
Jing Jiu was about to become the one with the lowest Cultivation state in Shenmo Peak.
It was interesting that the three of them would come to him for help no matter what kind of problems they had in Cultivation.
Jing Jiu thought it was a bit troublesome to do so, so he preferred to teach them all at once.
One evening, a scene like this occurred on the peak top.
Jing Jiu was lying on the bamboo chair.
Zhao Layue was sitting at the end of the bamboo chair.
The white cat was crouching in her bosom.
Cold Cicada was squatting on top of his head.
Gu Qing and Yuan Qu were standing there.
…
…
"Master, since the third move, my Sword Source has had some problems operating it. It seems that something is missing when I work with the sword style."
Gu Qing didn't find this problem until now.
He had noticed it soon after he started to practice the Inherited Heaven Sword style given to him by Jing Jiu nine years ago.
Back when he was at the Precious-Tree House in Chaonan City and learned the method of breaking through the formation, this feeling was more obvious.
In other words, the Inherited Heaven Sword style was sometimes not like a sword style, but more like …
"It's a formation. You can think of the Inherited Heaven Sword style as a kind of formation and adjust the operation of the Sword Source accordingly to solve this problem. "
Jing Jiu didn't expect Gu Qing to have such a keen perception that he had already discovered the uniqueness of the Inherited Heaven Sword style when he was still in the Undefeated State.
Gu Qing asked, "Learning the sword style by using the formation method? How should I adjust it? "
Jing Jiu said, "You can go to Xilai Peak when you have time and find some books related to the formation method."
Yuan Qu didn't quite understand, asking, "The sword style is the sword style. How can it be the formation method?"
Jing Jiu said, "The Seven-Plum Sword style you learned originated from the writing style of Yimaozhai, and the Six-Dragon Sword style used by Gu Qing is related to the thunder method of the Ōzawa Sect."
Yuan Qu asked, "Can all the Cultivation methods be transformed into the sword style?"
"You can think of it the other way around," Jing Jiu said.
"Does it mean that the real swords of the nine peaks of Aoyama can be imitated as some Cultivation methods?"
Thinking of that scene, Gu Qing couldn't help but feel fascinated, saying, "It's really hard to imagine."
Jing Jiu didn't understand the confusion and shock of his two disciples, saying, "Didn't I teach you the principle of All in One Sword during your first lesson after you entered the mountain gate?"
Every disciple of Aoyama who entered the inner sect would receive a book called the Sword Scripture for their first lesson by the Stream of Sword Washing.
There were four words on the first page of the Sword Scripture.
All in One Sword.
Of course Gu Qing and Yuan Qu remembered it. But it wasn't until now that they realized the four words weren't just for show, but had a real meaning.
The white cat wiggled his body in Zhao Layue's bosom.
Zhao Layue thought of a rumor and asked, "I heard that there are other states above the Heavenly Arrival State?"
Gu Qing and Yuan Qu were also interested.
"The Hidden Heaven," Jing Jiu said.
It became very quiet on the peak top.
After a long while, Zhao Layue asked, "Should we go further up?"
Jing Jiu shook his head, saying, "That state is only in the imagination. Even the founder of the sect couldn't achieve it, so there's no need to think about it."
The white cat closed its eyes, seeming to be sleeping soundly. But in fact, it had been listening quietly.
Of course it knew about the Hidden Heaven.
It also knew that the state Jing Jiu didn't mention was called All in One.
It was still the same words on the first page of the Sword Scripture.
It was also a sword.
All in One Sword.
The white cat was a little disappointed, because Jing Jiu didn't mention that sword until the end.
Where was that sword?
…
…
As spring came, the Stream of Sword Washing became greener, and then it was dyed red by the wild flowers blooming on both sides.
The Aoyama Sect welcomed another Inherited Sword Competition, but Shenmo Peak didn't participate again.
The young master of the Platanus Sect came to watch the competition four times in a row. She visited Shenmo Peak again the next morning after the Inherited Sword Competition.
She was brought to the peak top this year, and Gu Qing brewed tea in an iron kettle.
She was fully aware that this was a rare treatment, one that her mother and the Grandmaster might not get. She smiled contentedly, which matched her name.
Recalling what had happened in the old plum garden in Zhaoge City, Zhao Layue asked, "How is the Grandmaster's health?"
Back when Sensei De went to the old plum garden to see Tian Jingren, she wanted to ask when her mother would marry again. Tian Jingren told her through a child that he wanted to see when the Grandmaster would be tired of the human world. She kept asking, and the answer she got was ten years. It should be about time.
"The Grandmaster's health is fine."
Looking at the bamboo chair outside the cave, Sensei De said, "Someone was right back then. That old guy Tian Jingren only knows how to bluff."
Zhao Layue noticed that she was no longer a little girl, but a beautiful young woman now. She pouted her lips when she spoke, looking quite adorable.
