“Vast Peak…” the voice murmured, then said, “I am not a demon.”
Feng Guang followed the sound and saw the Han Yuan Sword on the table. The sound was coming from the Han Yuan Sword. She wondered to herself, could it be that this sword has a sword spirit?
She tentatively asked, "If you're not a demon, then who are you?"
"I am the chief disciple of the Xuanmen sect."
She was taken aback, and subconsciously retorted, "The eldest disciple of the Xuanmen sect is my senior brother."
"And who is your senior brother?"
"My senior brother is Shang Baizi."
"I have never heard of it."
Feng Guang released her spiritual power to explore the area. Apart from the Cold Abyss Sword, there was nothing of spiritual or demonic nature on Vast Peak. She also did not sense any killing intent. Therefore, she sat down again and asked, "You said you are the eldest disciple of the Xuanmen Sect, so what is your name?"
"My name is Fang Yue."
She mimicked his words, saying, "I've never heard of it."
He chuckled softly. "Who are you?"
"Xia Fengguang, the second disciple of the Xuanmen Sect Leader."
"The sect leader's position... is glorious..." He pondered for a few moments, as if he had something to consider.
Feng Guang said, "Well? You didn't know that the leader of the Xuanmen sect had a disciple like me?"
"What the young lady says is correct."
"This is interesting. I originally thought you were my sword spirit, but now, listening to what you're saying, it seems like we're in different sects... Hmm, maybe parallel universes?"
What is a parallel universe?
“Parallel universes are where countless worlds may exist within this universe. Due to subtle differences, they branch out into many different worlds, and these branches can become a single world. You see, you say you are the eldest disciple of the Xuanmen, but the only eldest disciple I know of in the Xuanmen is my senior brother, and I have never heard of Fang Yue.” In the Xuanmen, the names of each generation of eldest disciples are recorded, because usually, the eldest disciple will become the next head of the Xuanmen. Feng Guang had browsed through the Xuanmen’s historical records in the library, but she had never seen anyone named Fang Yue.
"If it's a parallel universe, why can I hear your voice?"
"Well... maybe it's because of the Cold Abyss Sword. The Cold Abyss Sword is a divine artifact, so it's not surprising that it has the ability to connect two worlds."
"Is that so?" He paused for a moment, then said, "The Cold Abyss Sword is only passed down to the sect leader's eldest disciple, but it seems to be quite different for you, young lady."
Because she said she had a senior brother, and the Cold Abyss Sword was in her hands.
"It's not that they're different; it's because my eldest brother couldn't take over as sect leader, so Master passed it on to me."
"I see." He said gently, "Since I took over the Cold Abyss Sword, there have been quite a few criticisms. As a woman, I'm afraid your situation is even more difficult than mine."
She laughed and said, "I always present a cold and taciturn image in public, so they don't dare to cause me trouble."
Moreover, with her cultivation level in charge, no one dares to cause trouble; at most, they might gossip behind her back.
He asked with amusement, "You're aloof and taciturn in public, but what about in private?"
"Of course, do whatever makes you comfortable." Feng Guang stretched and slumped onto the table, his voice languid.
The people opposite her cannot see her or recognize her, so she doesn't need to pretend to be an aloof, unattainable beauty.
"Senior brother, practice swordsmanship with me!"
Feng Guang heard a knock on the door and a woman's sweet voice coming from the other side. She exclaimed, "Oh~," and thought, "It sounds like a cute junior sister."
“Miss Xia…”
"I was just kidding. Go ahead. It's not good to keep a girl waiting. Maybe we can chat again next time."
"Well... please excuse me for taking my leave now."
Then, there was silence on the other end.
Feng Guang put away the Cold Abyss Sword, stroked his chin, and chatted with another senior disciple of the Xuanmen sect. It was truly a wonderful experience.
