Wan Ge stood behind him for a while, her beautiful eyes fixed on him.

As a sword spirit, her emotions were very weak, but at this moment she still thought the person in front of her was beautiful. Her master was the number one swordsman, and she couldn't even help him much.

She could sense how strong the other party was just by forming a contract, so Wan Ge knew how powerful Ying Cizhou was from the beginning. As a sword spirit, her purpose was to help her master become stronger, but the other party's strength was such that even her former master might not have reached his level of cultivation, so Wan Ge didn't know what she could do.

When her young master asked her to help Young Master Ye, Wan Ge was actually quite willing. After all, she possessed countless sword manuals that others dreamed of owning, but she couldn't use them, which made her very upset.

Because Ying Cizhou is very skilled, he has his own unique sword manual and doesn't need anyone else's.

But Ye Zhan and the others are different; they haven't reached that level yet and are still learning.

Therefore, the only person who doesn't need a sword manual as powerful as Ying Cizhou is Ying Cizhou. And the only one who is so good-looking is him.

Wan Ge still remembers the day she was awakened; it was the first time she met Ying Cizhou.

He didn't know how long he had been asleep, and when he regained consciousness, it was when Ying Cizhou and she formed a pact.

Although she wasn't fully conscious at that time, she clearly felt that the Night-Shining Sword had formed a bond with her.

Not everyone who forms a pact with a sword can awaken the sword spirit. Perhaps Ying Cizhou was just too powerful, because she was awakened after forming a pact with him.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Ying Cizhou standing before her, exuding elegance. He was dressed in a deep purple brocade robe and stood by the window, outside which were stunningly beautiful flowering trees.

The moment he turned around, it felt as if the world had lost its color.

Wan Ge thought she had seen many ancient gods, each one more beautiful than the last, including her former master, the famous God of War of the Heavenly Realm, all of whom had top-tier looks. But at that moment, she felt that none of them were anything compared to Ying Cizhou.

His voice was gentle, deep and warm, easily giving people a harmless feeling: "Little sword spirit, you're awake."

At that moment, Wan Ge sensed that he was the one with whom she had formed a bond, so she obediently called him "Master".

The other person smiled and touched her hair; their fingertips were icy cold, yet strangely reassuring.

Actually, everything was quite normal before Mu Qingning gave her to Ye Zhan.

Wan Ge often stayed by Ying Cizhou's side and would occasionally instruct Mu Qingning on swordsmanship.

At that time, Ying Cizhou just watched from the side and didn't say much.

After Ying Cizhou went into seclusion, Mu Qingning gave her to Ye Zhan, at which time she was teaching Ye Zhan a new sword technique.

She could sense Ying Cizhou's anger from afar. It was the first time she had ever seen him angry. In her memory, he had always been very gentle with her, and this really startled her.

She thought her master would punish her, lock her up, or break the contract with her and throw her into the Sword Sinking Pool.

But nothing happened. Although she did something very strange, Wan Ge didn't feel uncomfortable, so she didn't feel that he was punishing her; she was just simply tired.

…

Wan Ge watched for a while longer, and then appeared directly in his arms. The Zhaoye Sword that he had been wiping was placed aside.

"Master," Wan Ge called out obediently again.
