Please Follow!] Even for Li Ping’an, whose mind was as still as an ancient well, this moment sparked a gleam in his eyes.

What captivated Li Ping’an wasn’t the girl’s delicate beauty, nor her graceful figure; it was the unique aura that emanated from her.

Pure and transcendent, distinguished and extraordinary;

She resembled a sharp longsword unsheathed, as if ready to cut through the fine dust in the air.

It was evident that the girl had some level of cultivation.

In terms of appearance, she was quite beautiful, with willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry-red lips, bright eyes and white teeth, and an oval-shaped face.

Even in the night, her fair and delicate skin was visible, her peach-blossom eyes shimmered faintly, and her small, exquisite ears gleamed translucently.

Her blue and white long dress concealed her slim legs and delicate feet, and beneath the nearly floor-length hem were a pair of embroidered shoes adorned with orchids.

She seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a hint of youthful innocence still in her eyes, but her body had already begun to develop curves.

It was hard to say whether she would grow even taller in the future.

Ordinary girls reach maturity at fifteen; she was just a little short in height for now.

Li Ping’an eyed the sheathed sword in her hand for a few moments, recalling the martial artists he had met several times in the mortal world.

Observing the girl’s posture and feeling the slow circulation of qi within her, he grew more curious about her background.

As he sized up the girl, she naturally did the same with him.

Catching sight of a fair and handsome young man stepping out of the night, the girl couldn’t help but take a few more glances at him.

Realizing she had neglected proper etiquette, she quickly lowered her head and bowed, bringing her hands together in a salute.

Her voice was soft and delicate as she greeted him:

“Greetings, senior.”

This was in stark contrast to her previously clear and loud voice.

Li Ping’an smiled, “I’m also a disciple of this place.

I arrived not long ago, and Daoist Weiyanzi, the custodian of Liuyun Hall, has recently gone into closed-door cultivation and is in a dwelling enclosed by a formation…

This is the token he gave me, authorizing me to temporarily act on his behalf as custodian.”

She glanced at the jade token and her pale pink lips blossomed into a smile, followed by another respectful salute, “I’ve seen you, senior brother.”

Li Ping’an returned the salute and directly asked, “Have you come here to seek a master and cultivate?”

“Yes!”

Li Ping’an continued to inquire, “How did you manage to come up the mountain?”

The girl explained, “Several external sect elders from the Wanyun Sect went to my hometown in


Then he concentrated his energy toward his feet, borrowing force from the air as if swooping like a swallow, and landed steadily on the roof of his house.

He jumped to the edge of the roof and immediately saw the graceful figure that had drawn the attention of many fellow disciples.

It was Ningning Mu, who arrived just last night.

Ningning Mu was practicing her swordsmanship in her courtyard.

The ordinary iron Longsword in her hand seemed to come alive with a soul and rhythm.

It would sometimes cast a curtain of sword shadows, and other times it would be like a meteor streaking across the sky.

The sound of the sword echoed continuously.

Her movements followed her swordplay, and her steps were ethereal and light.

Her strikes always came from inconceivable angles, and occasionally, wisps of sword Qi would escape with the vibrations of the sword.

With the sword drawn, the spirit snake dances; on the blade’s fall, the cloud crane is startled.

Li Ping’an seemed to gain some insight as he stood on the roof, frowning in thought.

‘Does Ningning Mu circulate her vital energy with every movement when she practices sword and even when she stands still?’

Li Ping’an felt a surge of eagerness.

Half an hour later, Ningning Mu finished practicing her swordsmanship and sat cross-legged on a mat in the middle of the courtyard.

The group of young boys and girls each returned to their own courtyards.

Li Ping’an channeled his energy, and his form floated like feathers from the edge of his own wooden building’s roof, drifting towards Ningning Mu’s courtyard gate.

This was a technique of lightness that Qi Cultivators were capable of mastering.

Li Ping’an didn’t disturb Ningning Mu but simply stood waiting quietly, his mind flickering through the sword techniques she had used earlier and roughly deducing the pattern of Qi circulation in her body.

It was in line with the foundational techniques of the Wanyun Sect.

Or to be more precise, it was simply a modified version of the Wanyun Sect’s basic cultivation technique.

Li Ping’an smirked internally,

‘That must have been taught by her mother.

While it is forbidden by sect rules for outer disciples to privately transmit cultivation techniques to their children, it is only human nature.

‘It seems her mother has long intended for her to cultivate within the sect and passed on the entry-level technique in advance.

‘I need to be careful not to expose this and cause her any trouble.’

Creak—

The courtyard gate was pulled open, and a graceful figure stepped into Li Ping’an’s view, accompanied by a light exclamation,

“Ah!

Senior Brother!”
