"Isn't this the traditional technique of your Gongyi family?"
The corners of her mouth turned up: "Why don't you know it yourself?"
"The traditional technique of the Gongyi family?" Lian Shuiyin looked confused and turned to her master Gongyi Shuiqing: "Master, do you know this technique?"
Gongyi Shuiqing was silent for a long time.
He raised his hand, as if trying to turn Chu Shangli's head around——
However, he finally gave up and slowly withdrew his hand.
"Why do you know this technique?"
"Why..." Chu Shangli's eyes flickered for a moment, and he smiled slightly. "The reason is very simple - because my master knew this technique, so I learned it. My master said that he was the best swordsmith in the world, and he praised me for being even better than him, so now I am the best swordsmith in the world - this question is easy to understand, isn't it?"
She winked at Gong Yi Shui Qing.
"Your master..." Gong Yi Shuiqing thought for a moment and asked, "Who is it?"
"I don't even know my master's name, and she wouldn't tell me hers either. Anyway, she was a formidable figure, well-versed in astronomy and geography. Fifteen years later, I've only managed to catch up to her 14th level. But my sword-forging skills are now even better than hers."
If there was a lie detector here, Chu Shangli's words would definitely not be lies - after turning fifteen, with Chu Shangli's original strength, let alone Chu Moyin's 14, perhaps being able to catch up with her 110 would be enough to be considered proud of it. And her current sword-making skills have indeed surpassed Chu Moyin's back then -
Chu Moyin's sword-making skills are the worst, but in a few years she can indeed be called the best - even if she shows off her skills here now, at least she will not necessarily lose to Gong Yi Tianhe.
"You're actually a reclusive master! This way, I have no way of telling whether you're making this up or intentionally hiding something." Gong Yi Shuiqing said softly, "After all, I've seen no more than four people besides you who can master the techniques you're using—but three of those four are dead. So, your master is either one of them faking his own death, or he's a true hermit master who even they haven't seen or can't compare to..."
"There are no more than four people who can use this technique?" Chu Shangli raised his eyes and looked at Gongyi Shuiqing: "Then Uncle Gongyi, you must be one of them?"
"No, it's not me." Gong Yi Shuiqing glanced at Lian Qianying and said, "It's this person—my wife, Lian Qianying."
“Eh? Aaaaaaaa——?!”
There were exclamations from all around, and the loudest one was Lian Shuiyin—
"Really? Master? Do you really know this technique? Why have I never seen you use it before...?"
"Well." Lian Qianying smiled a little unnaturally: "Various reasons..."
At the same time, he glared at Gong Yi Shui Qing with a resentful look: "Why are you bringing up those old memories for no reason? I'm no longer able to use them now. Besides, if I really had the level I had back then, I wouldn't be able to compare to this little girl."
Everyone was silent.
The blood vessels of Chu Shangli's skin began to emerge from the skin——
Blue blood vessels emerge——
It looked like a pattern deliberately tattooed on the skin, but even more enchanting than that.
"When using this technique, it requires a higher level of mental concentration than ordinary techniques, right?" Lian Shuiyin asked.
"Of course—" Lian Qianying nodded. "Once this technique is used, it basically becomes a wooden stake that cannot be dodged or defended. The body will also become lighter, and the damage received will be doubled—in other words, if there is a traitor around, this is the best time to strike. Therefore, those who use this technique are basically—"
Her words seemed like a narration. As soon as she finished speaking, a hand pushed towards her body, and at the same time, a sword stabbed into her heart...
