Laughing...
The name momentarily stunned Feng Guang.
Although she was able to react quickly enough to block the attack from the Cold Abyss Sword for the child, she was always a step too slow in using the formation to defend against the attack, which is why her hand was injured.
“Your hand…” The child named Xiaoxiao was bewildered.
"I'm telling you, you little brat!" Shang Baizi poked her forehead with her index finger. "The Cold Abyss Sword is a divine weapon that recognizes its master. How can you just touch it like that? Now look what's happened, you've even caused my junior sister to get hurt!"
"I...I..." The little girl's arrogant expression had vanished. She looked at Feng Guang, yet dared not look at her, which made her quite pitiful.
Feng Guang touched the top of her head with her uninjured hand, squatted down to look her in the eye, and smiled, "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury, it will heal soon. But you must understand now that you can't touch anything with spirits indiscriminately in the future, otherwise you will suffer a backlash."
"Hmm..." Xiaoxiao responded blankly, her clear eyes fixed on the scenery, lost in thought.
Shang Baizi spoke up, "Junior sister, your blood..."
Looking at the scenery, she realized that her blood-stained hands had come into contact with the Cold Abyss Sword. Divine artifacts usually require a blood oath to become their master, but Xuan Qingzi had said that she could only do so after she broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, because the Cold Abyss Sword was too cold. Even though she was a genius that only appeared once in a hundred years and had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, she might suffer a backlash if she tried to become the master of the Cold Abyss Sword now.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Shang Baizi frowned.
She stood up, raised the sword in her hand to look at it for a while, then lowered her hand, and the sword disappeared like mist. "Senior brother, I feel fine."
"What's so good about it? I'll take you to heal your wounds first, then I'll go find my master and tell him that you've already bound the Cold Abyss Sword to your blood."
Without further ado, just as they had come, Shang Baizi dragged her away again.
Xiaoxiao stood there watching Fengguang's retreating figure, seemingly oblivious to the criticisms directed at her by the other children.
"It's alright, let them accept the master then."
Shang Baizi hadn't expected that when she came to her master for help, her master would be so nonchalant.
The elderly man, with his youthful face and white hair, exuded an air of otherworldly wisdom. He squinted as if meditating and contemplating something, but only Feng Guang and Shang Baizi knew that he was about to fall asleep.
Shang Baizi called out, "Master."
"Huh?" Xuan Qingzi opened his eyes groggily and saw his eldest disciple looking at him with disdain. He awkwardly stroked his beard and said with great respect, "Eldest brother and second brother, it is time for you to take on disciples. This year, you two should each take on a disciple. While teaching the disciple, you can also improve your own cultivation."
Feng Guang and Shang Baizi answered together, "Yes, Master."
Then, a soft snore came from Xuan Qingzi.
He was indeed asleep.
After leaving the Mingqing Palace, Feng Guang returned to her own Haomiao Peak. She sat at the table, took out the Hanyuan Sword and placed it on the table. She looked at it quietly for a while. She also felt that the sword had not changed after the blood oath ceremony.
"Could it be that Master was just trying to trick me by saying that there might be a backlash?"
She unconsciously uttered a question, only to be met with a sudden voice, "Who's speaking?"
This is a beautiful voice, like the warm sun in March, gentle as a flowing stream, capable of touching the heart. Most importantly, it is a male voice.
But even the most beautiful voice couldn't dispel her sense of crisis amidst the extraordinary scenery that heightened her vigilance. She slammed her hand on the table and stood up, "What kind of demon dares to sneak onto my Vast Expanse Peak?"
