"A sword intent as cold as ice! How is this possible?! I clearly saw no sword intent on him just now, how could he have had an epiphany in just a few hours? Could this kid be a sword genius or something?"
Seeing Cui Ming in a daze, Gu Liyan reminded him, "Watch closely!"
By the time Cui Ming came to his senses, Gu Liyan had already moved! A cold wind swept around him, and the white figure's pace quickened considerably—
The sword blade swirling in his hand flashed with silver light, so fast it seemed it could extend!
Cui Ming, who was standing to the side, was shocked to see Gu Liyan wielding the sword so skillfully!
Gu Liyan frowned slightly, then immediately withdrew his sword.
Cui Ming looked at Gu Liyan with suspicion, "Is that all? It's not over yet, is it?"
Gu Liyan rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment, then nodded very seriously:
"Yes, that's all I know."
Cui Ming was speechless. "Then how am I supposed to think of a way to counter your sword moves?"
"Just keep thinking about it, one move after another," Gu Liyan shrugged and said. "I didn't come here to watch you comprehend swordsmanship."
"Then what exactly are you here for!" Cui Ming rubbed his head, which hurt a little! He really couldn't understand Gu Liyan anymore!
Gu Liyan chuckled, "You know I'm participating in the general election tomorrow. To avoid revealing my identity, I've decided to appear as Yisheng. So, I need to learn some of your Sword Pavilion's moves. Therefore, you'll have to teach me some of your Sword Pavilion's moves, right?"
"No, no! All the sword manuals in my library have been stolen!" Cui Ming's expression changed slightly, and he waved his hand dismissively.
"We're all acquaintances, no need for such formalities! Besides, I assume you'd keep your treasures with you at all times! So you must have the most precious sword manual on you!" Gu Liyan smiled and extended his palm:
"To repay your life-saving grace, shouldn't you give me something in return?!"
Cui Ming choked, and finally reluctantly pulled out a sword manual from his pocket, throwing it to Gu Liyan with a look of reluctance, "Take this and get out of here!"
Gu Liyan picked up the sword manual, glanced at two pages, and his eyes lit up immediately. "Thank you for your gift, Pavilion Master. We'll meet again someday!"
As he spoke, Gu Liyan transformed into a white fox and jumped out of the window.
Cui Ming watched the white fox leave, sighed helplessly, then turned to look at the dust piled up on the ground, and smiled bitterly.
"Foxes are really cunning creatures. They said that having Buddha in one's heart would allow one to break through barriers and wield the sword. Now look what's happened, the sword manual is gone, and the sword was taken along with it!"
Cui Ming's sighs echoed through the dilapidated Buddhist hall. Just as the sighs subsided, a flash of light suddenly shot in from outside the window. Cui Ming hurriedly dodged to the side and angrily shouted at the window, "Which villain is trying to stab me in the back!"
After a long while... no one responded.
Cui Ming angrily looked at the "hidden weapon," wanting to see what had attacked him, but he froze on the spot.
A sword had pierced through the pillar, its blade translucent and gleaming. The sword resonated with a sound from the force of the impact, like the roar of a tiger or the cry of a dragon.
"Heavenly Emperor!" Cui Ming excitedly stepped forward and drew the Heavenly Emperor Sword, only to find a letter tied to the hilt. It read:
Thank you for the sword manual. However, this manual is not suitable for the Huangtian Sword, so I am returning the Huangtian Sword. I hope you will treat this divine weapon with care!
"This kid... he's still the same as before!"
Cui Ming gently stroked the sword and couldn't help but smile. "In the end, it's just because it has his own blood on it, so he doesn't dare to use it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Ming stood up, but the moment he raised his head, his appearance changed to resemble Tian Yi!
"I really can't wait to see what kind of expression he'll have when he steps onto the Chengdu Plain..."
——
Gu Liyan stood at the entrance of the Sword Pavilion, looking at the location of the Buddhist hall, and suddenly smiled.
"You're smiling so sinisterly, have you confirmed what you wanted to confirm?" Leng Shaohan's voice suddenly rang out from behind.
Gu Liyan turned around, looked at him, and nodded. "Yes, it's been confirmed."
"And the result? Do you two even know each other?" Leng Shaohan asked anxiously, fanning himself with his fan.
"Well..." A faint purple glint flashed in Gu Liyan's eyes, "We weren't familiar with each other before, but now... we seem to be quite familiar with each other!"
Leng Shaohan nodded. "That's good. Then let's spare his life."
Gu Liyan smiled faintly, took out a mask and put it on, and said softly, "You go back first. I'll go to the city and buy a weapon before I go back."
Leng Shaohan closed his paper fan and said nonchalantly, "Take care of yourself. I'm leaving now."
After bidding farewell to Leng Shaohan, Gu Liyan headed towards the Royal Casino.
"We don't know if she'll live or die tomorrow, so it's better to go see her one last time..."

An Qianbai looked indifferently at the bustling streets; no one's presence could hold her any longer...
Apart from……
An Qianbai suddenly stood up and looked at the white-clad boy wearing a mask in the crowd. His figure was clearly—
An Qianbai suddenly turned her head and rushed out of the room.
In the sea of people, that one glance is all it takes to know that the one is meant for you!
An Qianbai ran excitedly toward the door, then disappeared into the vast sea of people in the alley.
"Xiao Li, Xiao Li..." An Qianbai pushed through the crowd, running towards the direction where she had just seen the white-clad boy. "Wait for me, Xiao Li, wait for me..."
If we miss a moment, we shouldn't miss a lifetime!
An Qianbai pushed aside the people around her and was about to continue forward when someone blocked her way...
