"Young Master, why don't we move this sword-washing pool away and find a suitable place to slowly refine the sword." Jiang Yuzhe saw Mu Hanyan's hesitation and said.
"If my master could really go wherever he wanted, why would he live in seclusion here? Wouldn't it be safer to choose a paradise with beautiful mountains and rivers?" Qu Shanling said unhappily.
"He's right. The Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pool cannot be placed anywhere. Only the spiritual eye that converges with the great trend of heaven and earth can preserve the spiritual essence within it. Master Qu's master chose this place because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is guided by the trend and gathered here. If it is moved to another place, once the seal is opened, the spiritual essence within it will dissipate between heaven and earth." Ye Lanxuan nodded.
Mu Hanyan then realized that the vortex formed by the power of heaven and earth that she had felt before was not attracted by the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pool, but because this vortex formed by heaven and earth already existed, Qu Shanling's master chose to place the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pool here.
It would be fine if the seal hadn't been opened, but the problem is that they have already opened the seal. Now that it's moved, the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pool has truly become a reservoir. Is it used to store water for cooking? It's embarrassing to think about it.
"How about this, young master? You leave the Hanxiao Sword here to temper your sword heart and soul, and I will stay to help you look after it." Qu Shanling said to Mu Hanyan.
This is the master's former residence. Although Qu Shanling knows that he will never come back, he does not want to leave easily. Staying here will give him more comfort in his heart.
"Alright." Mu Hanyan nodded. The Hanxiao Sword at her waist chimed softly. Neither she nor the Hanxiao Sword itself wanted to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Taking off the long sword, Mu Hanyan handed it to Ye Lanxun without hesitation.
"When asking for help, at least ask. This kind of seal is very time-consuming and laborious." Ye Lanxun said earnestly. Of course, Mu Hanyan knew he was joking.
"When you became my master, you didn't ask for my opinion, right, Master?" Mu Hanyan blinked and said shamelessly.
"Okay, you are my disciple, so you have the final say." Ye Lanxun looked at Mu Hanyan's rogue smile, sighed and said, but there was a hint of pampering in his eyes.
Hua Yue and the others looked at each other subconsciously, and suddenly felt a chill on their bodies.
This feeling is not right!
Incest between teacher and student was considered a taboo in the Holy Court Continent. Well, one was a top-tier expert, a saint, and the other was a member of an elite family with extraordinary talent. Both were known for their outspokenness, so even if they were to break the taboo, no one would dare to say anything.
But the problem is, they are all men, men!
It's an illusion, it must be an illusion.
Huayue and the others forced themselves to filter out the affectionate glances between the two people in front of them from their minds, and thought to themselves in a self-comforting way.
Ye Lanxuan took over the Hanxiao Sword, a divine light flashed in his eyes. After a long time, he slowly exhaled a long breath and made a series of hand gestures.
A fantastic light and shadow flew out of his hand and condensed into ancient characters, covering the entire sword.
"Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pool, Seal!" Ye Lanxun shouted softly, and the Hanxiao Sword slowly sank into the green stone wall of the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pool.
Afterwards, the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pool became dim again, and its blue-gray surface showed mottled marks, which was no different from when it was first seen.
The Hanxiao Sword also completely disappeared without a trace and was sealed in the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pool.
It seems that this time, Mu Hanyan no longer has the good luck she had before. The Hanxiao Sword could not be directly refined into a divine weapon. She can only wait for the opportunity. As for how long she has to wait, she herself is not sure.
Seeing the sweat on Ye Lanxun's forehead, Mu Hanyan realized that he hadn't been joking. This seal was indeed very laborious. Even Ye Lanxun, who was at the level of Sword Saint (perhaps even higher), had a look of fatigue in his eyes.
Mu Hanyan took out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but suddenly realized that she was still a woman dressed as a man, and this action was inappropriate, so the hand holding the handkerchief froze in mid-air.
Ye Lanxuan didn't think too much about it. He just took the handkerchief from her hand, wiped the sweat off her face, and gave her a gentle smile.
I didn't see it, it was all an illusion, an illusion. Hua Yue and the others felt a chill again, silently chanted a few "calming mantras", and turned their heads away at the same time.
"Master Qu, Young Master Mu." Fang Xuemao's voice came from outside the door.
When Mu Hanyan opened the door, she saw a group of Fang family members, all dressed neatly, carrying bags on their backs, ready for a long journey. Several injured members of the same clan were carried on stretchers behind them. However, everyone's faces were very gloomy.
"Master Fang, what are you doing?" Qu Shanling looked at Fang Xuemao in confusion.
"I thought about it all night. Although I escaped this time with your help, the Rong family still refuses to let our Fang family go. We have no choice but to find another place to make a living.
I've had breakfast prepared, and I've left a few younger members of the clan to look after you. They'll catch up after you leave." Fang Xuemao looked at the village behind him, looking reluctant.
The young men in the clan also had dejected expressions on their faces. They had finally found a place to settle down, and now that the business in the market was picking up, they had to leave. They were reluctant to leave.
Mu Hanyan and the others were touched by Fang Xuemao's words. Even at this moment, he hadn't forgotten to send someone to look after them. This old Patriarch Fang was truly a man of loyalty and righteousness.
"What about the market town, and the inn and restaurant?" Mu Hanyan asked.
While the market and inn weren't exactly thriving, they must have cost a fortune. Given the Fang family's current situation, they'd probably spent most of their remaining wealth, so it would be a shame to just abandon them. More importantly, families like theirs didn't farm and most had few skills. If they lost even the foundation they had built, how could they survive?
"We can't take care of so many things now. If we have enough time, we can sell this village together. But now the Rong family is trying to kill our Fang family. Where can we find a suitable buyer right now?" Fang Xuemao said with a wry smile.
"Does this village belong to the Fang family?" Mu Hanyan asked, her heart moving when she heard this.
"Yes, this village was originally where our Fang family started. Later, the business routes were closed and the village became increasingly depressed. Our ancestors took the opportunity to buy it and changed the name to Fangjia Village." Fang Xuemao replied.
"How about this, the Mu family in Black Stone City owns a Nanyan Chamber of Commerce, and I can make the decision. If you really want to sell it, just sell it to us. You don't have to move out, you can just continue to stay here, and you can also help manage the chamber of commerce by the way." Mu Hanyan said.
