Girl, let me check it out.

"Qiang!"

The sound of the swords clashing was like broken jade falling on a plate, clean and crisp, just like the state of mind of the people practicing in the courtyard.

Fang Weihan once again caught Tao Yunjiang's light sword and flew backwards using the momentum.

He did not use the Linyuan magic, just as Tao Yunjiang did not use the full power of the fifth turn.

They simply relied on swordsmanship to compete.

Obviously, if we only talk about swordsmanship, Fang Weihan is no match for Tao Yunjiang.

This man is a rare Mingwu genius that only appears once in a thousand years. Even if Fang Weihan used cheats, he couldn't beat him.

It is worth mentioning that when Fang Weihan was practicing with Tao Yunjiang, he did not activate the Xuanming Sunset Technique.

Almost all the moves she used in sparring with herself were self-created.

"Outrageous, really outrageous."

After Yun Shu woke up, she watched him and Tao Yunjiang's sparring with great interest.

The girl couldn't help but marvel at it.

"Looking at your level, my little lover, it is estimated that you have surpassed Gu Cangluan back then. The way you wield the sword is full of the demeanor of a master. If she is given a few more decades, she will definitely become the next generation of sword saint."

"You hold this thigh well."

"When you chose the first person to study things for knowledge, you were quite prophetic."

It was rare to hear Yun Shu praise him, and Fang Weihan felt a little embarrassed.

"Didn't I want to find someone with higher talent? I didn't expect that I would draw an SSR directly."

"Aren't you attracted by beauty?"

Yun Shu asked back with some confusion.

"Hey, this is pure slander. I hadn't even seen what Yun Jiang looked like at the time, so how could I have been attracted by her beauty?"

Fang Weihan refuted Yun Shu's point of view in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Tao Yunjiang put Qi Cang back into the sheath, stretched his body, and walked to Fang Weihan's side.

"Your swordsmanship has improved a lot recently."

The girl praised sincerely.

"Hmm... I feel like you are now three times as good as when I first met you."

"Then when can I catch up with the young master?"

Fang Weihan raised his hand to ask a question.

"Catch up with me? Maybe in the next life."

She was stunned for a moment and hit Weihan on the head with the scabbard.

"Why are you catching up with me? I am still... nominally still your master! If you catch up with me, where will I put my face?"

Tao Yunjiang pursed his lips.

"Besides, I still have to protect you. Swordsmanship is one of the few things I'm good at. If I can't even beat you in swordsmanship, how can I protect you?"

Fang Weihan thought so too.

"Well, I will sleep at home every day from now on, so that I can completely rely on Master."

He said it in a ruthless manner.

"That won't do!"

Tao Yunjiang quickly denied it.

Only after she said this did she notice Fang Weihan's smile.

The girl finally reacted.

"Humph, didn't I just teach you a few moves? I'll come check on your progress in a few days!"

Tao Yunjiang was a little annoyed and knocked his head again.

"If you don't learn it by then, you're dead, you know that?"

The girl bared her teeth at him.

"what?"

"Let's go, no need to see me off!"

Ignoring Fang Weihan's wailing, Tao Yunjiang waved her hand, her long hair fluttering in the setting sun.

"Got it! Goodbye Yun Jiang, love you!"

Fang Weihan shouted with a smile.

The girl nearly bumped into the door frame.

She waved her hand and walked away hurriedly, looking a little embarrassed.

The huge backyard of the palace fell silent again.

Fang Weihan threw the Luminous Sword aside and leaned against the thick pillar behind him, lost in thought.

"Love...you...oh."

Something whispered in his ear.

"Yun Shu, what are you doing?"

Fang Weihan had a blank expression on his face and didn't even turn his neck.

"You look like that ghost."

Yun Shu, dressed like a little witch, appeared beside him.

The shadow cast by the tall witch's hat on the ground in the setting sun looks like a magnificent pyramid.

The pyramid sank into the lotus pond and no trace of it could be seen anymore.

"Eh? Why does it look like a ghost? Didn't I learn to look like one?"

Yun Shu put her delicate little face close to Fang Weihan and blinked her big eyes.

She coughed twice and held her throat tightly:

"love you!"

Fang Weihan: "..."

"Get lost now. Even a bird might be able to imitate you better than you."

he said angrily.

Yun Shu just woke up, and now she looks much more energetic than before.

"You're talking nonsense! The phoenix next to Wen Zhexue definitely can't imitate it as well as I do!"

The girl retorted unyieldingly.

Fang Weihan rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to him.

Yun Shu noticed that Fang Weihan didn't seem to be interested in talking, so she asked curiously:

"What's wrong with you? You don't look happy?"

"No, I'm not unhappy."

Fang Weihan glanced at him.

"It just reminded me of something that I had ignored before."

"whats the matter?"

"what……"

Fang Weihan shook his head and took out a copper coin from the space spirit ring.

"Is this... a counterfeit coin?"

Yun Shu stared at the coins in his hand, thoughtfully.

"Well, you guessed it right."

Fang Weihan said softly.

"This is what I found on Ji Gang when he died."

"Ji Gang held the coin tightly until his death. It must be very important to him. I plan to put it next to Ji Gang's tombstone tomorrow."

Yun Shu pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.

She had never been very good at comforting people.

Really, more than two thousand years have passed, and there have been countless times when she needed to comfort others, how come she hasn't learned this?

Yun Shu suddenly felt that perhaps the past few thousand years might have been lived in vain.

"Just now when I was looking at the group of people in Qingming, I suddenly thought of Ji Gang, and then subconsciously compared Ji Gang with them."

Fang Weihan took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

The setting sun in the distance slowly sinks into the horizon, and Changming City, which has been active for a day, is about to fall into sleep again.

He couldn't bear to look at the scene before him.

"What's the difference between Ji Gang and them?"

"They are all miserable people, all stained by the quagmire of the Great Zhou and suffering. But they have embarked on two completely different paths."

"I am not qualified...nor in a position to comment on who is right or wrong, but I can feel that their determination is different."

Yun Shu listened to Fang Weihan's words silently.

She could feel that this young prince had too much suppressed in his heart.

It's better to say it out loud than to keep it in your heart.

The girl knows Fang Weihan best, and even Xie Linwan is not as good as her in this regard.

Xie Lingwan would not know what Fang Weihan was thinking at every moment, but Yun Shu knew.

It is precisely because she knew this that she could not turn a blind eye to all this.

The more you know, the greater the responsibility you will bear.

This is the curse of knowledge.

The only alternative to fulfilling one's duties is to be irresponsible.

But Yun Shu obviously wouldn't do that.

So she said nothing and just listened quietly.

Although it was completely abnormal for this to happen to Yun Shu.

"Ji Gang's determination is even colder and harder. He can sacrifice everything he has for his ideals and responsibilities... including his life."

Fang Weihan raised the copper coin in his hand.

“He has demonstrated that in a way that is the last thing I wanted to see.”

He was silent for a moment.

"And the group of people in Qingming...I don't see that in them."

"They are all people who have seen the undercurrents of the empire. Rather than wanting to do something practical for the people, they would rather pick up trash from the wreckage after the collapse of the building and make a profit."

"If the situation is a little bit wrong, they will definitely not resort to death to make peace."

"Except for Yi Yin, whom I couldn't figure out, everyone I met in that yard today was like this, without exception."

"A speculator of the times, a pimp of politics, a vulture of the people and the country, Tao Yunjiang may be the only exception among them..."

Yun Shu raised her head and interrupted him with a resounding voice.

"But... this power can be used for our benefit, right?"

The girl's voice was like the melting snow on the Tianshan Mountains, dripping from the mountain ridges, echoing from the mountains, and flowing into Fang Weihan's heart.
