Yun Feimiao slept soundly. He had discovered that the communication jade slip could be used to set an alarm, so he set one for himself and set the time to half an hour before the start of the morning class.
It was still dark when Yun Feimiao got up. He stretched and yawned, then got himself ready as quickly as possible.
After going out, he wanted to go to Xie Yang's place for breakfast, but found that the gate of Xie Yang's yard was closed, while there were two people busy in the kitchen on his side.
The two busy men were the two errand disciples previously registered under Xie Yang's name. One was Zhang Hu, who was said to be very good at making bibimbap, a favorite of spirit beasts. The other was Sun Xiaolei, who was said to be one of the chief chefs among the outer disciples of Jiandan Peak.
Yun Feimiao felt a little excited and a little confused when she saw the two of them cooking.
"Do you know where Third Brother went?"
Zhang Hu replied, "Third Senior Brother Xie was taken away last night by Peak Master Chen and Elder Zhen'an of Jianzhen Peak. Before he left, he asked the two of us to prepare breakfast and supper for him during this time."
"Then you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go ask Senior Brother." Yun Feimiao turned around and ran towards Si Junzhan's yard.
Si Junzhan had long expected that Yun Feimiao would come looking for him if she couldn't find Xie Yang, so he got up early in the morning.
"Third Junior Brother had an accident, but this is his private matter. If he doesn't tell me, I can't interfere. How about this, I'll take you to Jianzhen Peak first, and you two can talk it out. Do you want me to ask for a leave of absence for your morning class?"
Yun Feimiao quickly said, "There's no need to ask for leave. Senior Brother, please take me there first!"
The eldest brother wields the sword faster than him, so it would be a waste not to use the free sword.
Although the sword is the wife of a sword cultivator, the sword cultivators of their Wanjian Sect are not rigid sword cultivators. As long as they are strong enough, they can even have thousands of wives.
Si Junzhan's natal spirit sword is called Haolan, and he treasures it so much that he won't let anyone else touch it. It was because Chen Yanshu deliberately touched Haolan twice that he became resentful of him.
Besides Haolan, Si Junzhan also had a number of spare magic swords, all of which were low-profile versions of Haolan's. He used these low-profile versions when leading others in swordplay, sparring with others, or training in the wild to deal with the corpses of monsters.
Si Junzhan flew on his sword so fast and steadily that it seemed like they reached the Sword Array Peak in just a blink of an eye, and Yun Feimiao did not feel any discomfort after landing.
This ability made Yun Feimiao envious for a while, and he didn't know when he could reach this level.
"Why are you two junior brothers here so early in the morning? Are you here to see Junior Brother Xie? Come in quickly." Elder Zhen An greeted them warmly.
He has always liked the new disciples who joined the school every year. Young people with outstanding talents are likable, not to mention that they are simple, lively and energetic, which makes people happy just by looking at them.
Sword Array Peak was covered in formations, requiring extreme caution with every step. People like Yun Feimiao and Si Junzhan, who had only a passing understanding of formations, couldn't move freely on Sword Array Peak. If Elder Zhen An hadn't come out to greet them, they wouldn't have been able to find Xie Yang at all.
Elder Zhen An brought the two to a quiet courtyard, where Xie Yang and Xie Fei were practicing sword skills together, and their movements gradually became synchronized, which surprised Yun Feimiao and Si Junzhan.
Si Junzhan watched and suddenly said, "Looking at each other like this, they really look like a pair of twins."
Yun Feimiao couldn't help but retort, "Xie Fei is one year younger than Afeng, and they don't look much alike, so how can they be twins?"
Si Junzhan said, "Why not? Not only do they have similar eyebrows and eyes, but their face shapes are also exactly the same. More importantly, didn't you notice that they also have some of the same special little movements when dancing with swords? If there is no connection, it would be unreasonable, right?"
"Yes! It wouldn't make sense if there was no connection!" Elder Zhen An couldn't help but slap his head. Why didn't he think of this?
He had clearly felt that Xie Yang and Xie Fei looked very similar during class yesterday afternoon, but thinking that the two Xies were the main and side branches after all, it was normal for them to have some similarities, he didn't think about it any further.
But now I think about it...
Elder Zhen An hissed softly and hurried to find Master Chen Feng.
"Old Chen, come quickly, there's a new discovery, come and get to work!"
Elder Zhen An called Master Chen Feng, and then took out a communication jade slip to call Master Ji and Master Xiao Feng.
When Master Xiao heard Elder Zhen An shouting urgently, he thought something had happened to Xie Yang, so he called Master Baili of Jiandan Peak to come over.
So an elder, a sect leader and three peak masters just stood by and watched Xie Yang and Xie Fei practice sword fighting. Xie Yang didn't care, but Xie Fei was so scared that his hands were shaking.
"Did I do something wrong? Why should I be stared at like this by a bunch of top cultivators?"
"Why am I so miserable? Suddenly a diligent man showed up and I couldn't sleep peacefully. I was forced to get up and practice sword fighting with him."
"We were practicing swordplay so well, how come so many people suddenly showed up? And so many elders?"
"Ahhh what should I do?"
Master Chen Feng found it amusing to see him mumbling to himself while dancing with the sword: "Alright, Xiao Fei, since you don't feel like practicing anymore, then stop. Practicing like this won't benefit your swordsmanship. Junior-Martial-Nephew Xie Yang, come here too. There are some things I need to clarify."
Xie Fei immediately breathed a sigh of relief, put away his sword and ran back to Master Chen Feng.
Xie Yang also walked over to Yun Feimiao: "Ah Miao, why are you here?"
"I was worried about you, so I came to see you." Yun Feimiao hesitated, "If you don't want me to know, then I..."
"There's nothing I can't let you know. You can stay." Xie Yang held Yun Feimiao's hand.
