After transmigrating into the body of the protagonist's childhood friend, he was targeted by a

The flying boat traveled for about an hour before slowly landing in front of the Wanjian Sect's mountain gate.

After disembarking from the flying boat, Lin Zhixu saw an old acquaintance, Elder Shen, standing among the waiting crowd.

Beside him stood a dignified middle-aged man, and beside him stood a young disciple with his hands at his sides. Judging from their clothes, they should be inner disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Yu Linzhou was the first to step off the flying boat, followed by six Tianheng Sect disciples who filed out in single file.

Elder Shen whispered a few words in the middle-aged man's ear, and the man's face immediately lit up with a warm smile. He quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "I never expected that Immortal Venerable Feng Heng would personally lead the team this time. I am truly sorry for not welcoming you properly! My surname is Shen, and I am honored to hold the position of Sect Master of the Myriad Swords Sect."

Yu Linzhou nodded slightly and greeted him as "Sect Master Shen" in return. Without much small talk, he got straight to the point: "Now that everyone has arrived, I would like to trouble Sect Master Shen to arrange accommodations for the disciples behind me."

Sect Master Shen quickly waved behind him, and the young disciple stepped forward.

He was in his early twenties, with a handsome face and composed demeanor. He bowed to Yu Linzhou and the disciples of Tianheng Sect.

Sect Master Shen introduced, "This is my eldest disciple, Gu Yunxuan. Let him lead you young friends to the guest courtyard to rest. Immortal Venerable, please come this way. Let's move to the main hall for a detailed discussion."

Yu Linzhou glanced back at the disciples of Tianheng Sect, his gaze lingering on Lin Zhixu for a moment before he nodded slightly.

Lin Zhixu understood and nodded slightly to him.

Yu Linzhou then turned around and followed Sect Master Shen and Elder Shen toward the main hall.

Watching the three teachers walk away, Gu Yunxuan turned around, his smile as warm as a spring breeze: "Welcome to the Myriad Swords Sect. I will be in charge of arranging your food, clothing, and lodging for the next few days. Please follow me."

The Tianheng Sect sent a total of six disciples this time, including Lin Zhixu and Zhou Tong. The other four were all outstanding disciples under the tutelage of the elders of their respective peaks.

Although these people were usually proud and arrogant, they all knew that Lin Zhixu was the only direct disciple of Feng Heng Immortal Venerable. Now that they had left their own sect, there was a vague intention to have him as the leader, so they all looked at him and waited for him to make a decision.

Gu Yunxuan took in the whole scene, his gaze lingering on Lin Zhixu's face for a moment, his eyes flickering slightly, but his smile remained unchanged.

Lin Zhixu nodded slightly to him: "Thank you for your trouble."

"You're welcome." Gu Yunxuan stepped aside and gestured for them to proceed, leading the way towards the guest courtyard.

……

The stone path of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is lined with groves of green bamboo, and occasionally you can see a few ancient sword steles standing among them. The steles are covered with dense sword marks of varying depths, which are obviously from a long time ago.

Gu Yunxuan walked at the front, stopping at each place to give an introduction.

"This bamboo forest is the most distinctive sword bamboo forest of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Every bamboo stalk was planted by the disciples of each generation and will be used as sword material after it grows up."

Everyone nodded in agreement; it was indeed quite unique.

They encountered many disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect along the way.

When those people saw the unfamiliar faces dressed in the Tianheng Sect's attire, they all stopped, stared, and whispered among themselves.

"They seem to be from the Tianheng Sect? What are they doing here at our Wanjian Sect?"

"You didn't know? Elder Shen went to Tianheng Sect a few days ago, I heard it was to discuss exchanging disciples. I didn't expect it to actually be done."

"Don't we and the Tianheng Sect have a history of mutual dislike? Why would Elder Shen consider exchanging disciples?"

"What else could it be for? For Senior Brother Yan, of course. I heard that Senior Brother Yan is among the disciples being exchanged this time."

Once you put it that way, the others will understand.

Everyone in the Myriad Swords Sect knew how deep Yan Qinghan's obsession was with the Heavenly Heng Sect. More accurately, it was his deep obsession with the Immortal Venerable Wu Cang.

Gu Yunxuan had probably heard the discussions, and turned to Lin Zhixu with an apologetic smile: "Please forgive my rudeness. The disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect don't have much contact with other sects, so it's understandable that they are a little curious. I didn't mean to offend them."

Lin Zhixu nodded without saying anything more.

Gu Yunxuan led the group forward for a while, and after turning through a stone archway, they came to a cluster of courtyards built against the mountain.

Gu Yunxuan stopped and stepped aside to indicate, "This is the guest courtyard prepared for you all. Each person has a room. There is a spirit-gathering array in the courtyard, so your cultivation will not be affected."

"You have come from afar, please take a short rest. If you need anything, there is a communication talisman at the gate of the courtyard, you can call me at any time."

He glanced at everyone's faces, finally settling on Lin Zhixu, his smile still gentle. "Although the Myriad Swords Sect is not as profound as the Heavenly Heng Sect, it still has a few sights worth seeing."

"If you are interested, I can show you around tomorrow. However, there are a few forbidden areas to be aware of, such as the Sword Pool in the back mountain. Only disciples of our sect are allowed to enter. Please forgive me."

Gu Yunxuan politely gave a few more instructions before taking his leave.

With no outsiders around, everyone felt more at ease and dispersed.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the accommodations arranged for them by the Ten Thousand Swords Sect were quite spacious.

It's said to be one room per person, but it's not the kind of cramped single room. It's more like an independent suite. Each room has two bedrooms, one on the east and one on the west, separated by a small living room. Two people can easily live in one room.

The courtyard was very quiet, with no other outsiders besides them.

The others all chose to stay in their own rooms.

Only Lin Zhixu and Zhou Tong chose to live in the same room, next to each other.

As night fell, the six of them held a brief meeting to discuss their next steps.

They came to exchange and learn, not to fight. If the Wanjian Sect people don't cause trouble, they also hope to get through this month smoothly.

Currently, the attitude of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is acceptable, so the group will adapt to the situation.

In the middle of the night, Lin Zhixu finished meditating and was about to lie down for a nap when the window was silently pushed open from the outside.

A figure nimbly flipped over and entered.

Lin Zhixu stood up alertly, his hands moving faster than his brain, quickly drawing his sword. The blade gleamed coldly in the moonlight, pointing directly at the newcomer.

Yu Linzhou grabbed his hand and chuckled in a low voice, "It's me."

Lin Zhixu sheathed his sword expressionlessly, looked at the face that grinned incessantly in the moonlight, and took a deep breath. "What time is it? What are you doing here? And couldn't you have just used the door properly?"

"I'd like to use the door," Yu Linzhou said, walking around the foot of the bed and sitting down on the edge of it quite naturally, without any awareness of trespassing. "There's someone living next door, and I'm afraid it will scare him. But why don't you live alone? It's so inconvenient to share a room with someone else."

Lin Zhixu: "..." What's inconvenient? Is it inconvenient for you to climb through the window in the middle of the night?

He was too lazy to argue with this person and asked directly, "What exactly are you here for?"

"I'm going to sleep," Yu Linzhou said matter-of-factly.

Lin Zhixu: "...?"
