The blind girl is called a saint with a sword!

Ninety-three was born of the sword, and became a demon because of the sword! [2.5k]

When Yu Shen revealed his identity, the entire restaurant was thrown into an uproar.

Whether it's Tingyun Manor, Yu Shen, or Sanchi, they are all renowned figures in the martial arts world.

Tingyun Manor is one of the seven great families of the martial arts world and a sacred place for martial arts in the hearts of countless swordsmen.

In terms of the length of its lineage, it is even longer than the Great Brightness Sect, a martial arts force that rose to prominence in the northern deserts alongside the rise of the Turks.

How could its reputation be low?

As the master of Tingyun Manor, Yu Shen is known for his anecdotes, such as having eight daughters in a row. More than thirty years ago, he was a hero of his time who single-handedly destroyed a pirate gang by venturing into the sea with his sword.

How could his reputation be low?

As for Sanchi, needless to say, the most powerful swordsman in the martial arts world today is definitely not Sanchi, but the most famous swordsman is none other than her, simply because her legendary status is too high.

"Why would the owner of Tingyun Manor be here?"

"What else could it be for? It must be because of that rumor circulating in the martial arts world lately!"

"You mean the matter of Sanchi wanting to challenge the Goddess of Xiaoxiang?"

"It must be her. I hadn't noticed her just now, but look at that woman sitting in the corner, blindfolded and with a sword at her waist. Isn't that the Goddess Xiaoxiang who thwarted the Great Bright Sect's conspiracy at Qingcheng Mountain yesterday?"

"It really is her. That barefoot dwarf next to her must be Lan Xiaogu."

A barefoot dwarf?

Lan Xiaogu originally wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she decided not to argue with those ignorant people who didn't understand what "short and concise" meant.

Let's deal with this fish that suddenly appeared first.

It's said in the martial arts world that Sanchi is going to challenge Sister An. Now that Sanchi's father has come first, there must be a deeper meaning behind it.

"So it's the owner of the fish farm."

An Qingwan smiled and nodded, showing no surprise at Yu Shen revealing his identity.

"May I ask what brings you here from so far, Master Yu?"

Yu Shen showed no arrogance whatsoever: “I have traveled all the way from the Eastern Capital over the course of a month. Every few days, I have heard some new stories about the Goddess along the way. At that time, I was already excited. Now that I have seen the Goddess with my own eyes, I really feel that she is a celestial being.”

An Qingwan said, "Master Yu is too kind."

Yu Shen said, "Tingyun Manor has been established for hundreds of years and is known as the best swordsmanship in the world. Even the Sword God came to Tingyun Manor to learn from him when he was young. What kind of superb swordsmanship has he not seen? But the swordsmanship used by the Goddess, whether it is the moves or the artistic conception, I have never seen before. The Goddess's master must be a peerless genius who has never been in the world!"

An Qingwan said, "Is this why the Three Fools rushed to Shu to challenge me as soon as they heard my name?"

Yu Shen smiled and said, "Exactly."

An Qingwan asked, "Is Master Yu here today to announce the time and place of the duel?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the restaurant perked up their ears.

Two of the most renowned young swordsmen of our time are about to duel—this is an extraordinary event.

Yu Shen shook his head: "No."

An Qingwan asked in surprise, "Oh?"

Yu Shen gestured an invitation: "I wonder if the goddess is free now? I have prepared wine and food in the carriage."

An Qingwan stood up.

Jin Xueyi quickly tugged at her sleeve.

"Don't worry, Miss Jin, I'll be right back."

An Qingwan was not afraid. She followed Yu Shen into the luxurious carriage parked outside the restaurant.

Unable to bear the conversation between the two, everyone in the restaurant felt extremely regretful, but dared not approach to eavesdrop.

Inside the carriage, where the delicate fragrance of flowers lingered.

After taking a seat.

Yu Shen immediately dismissed the maids who were serving him in the carriage.

His expression had become serious.

"Your Grace, the reason I've come to see you today is to ask you for a favor."

"Can I ask for help?"

Yu Shen said, "Goddess, have you heard the story of the Mysterious Celestial Master of the Jinglun Heavenly Palace who helped me resolve my doubts?"

An Qing nodded.

Lan Xiaogu told her this story, saying that Sanchi was silly and foolish when he was young, like a complete idiot. It was only thanks to the Taoist priests of Jinglun Heavenly Palace who enlightened him that he was able to break through the illusions and turn his life around.

Yu Shen said, "Actually, Master Xuanjing's conversation did not truly dispel my daughter's 'obsession,' but only pointed her in a direction, giving her something to do, so she doesn't seem so obsessed anymore. But she is still herself, she has never changed. She just likes swords, wine, and flowers. If it weren't for wanting to unleash the sword she desires, she wouldn't even bother to practice internal energy cultivation techniques."

An Qingwan asked, "What's unusual about this?"

Yu Shen said, "Over the years, my daughter has made great strides in the path of swordsmanship, and I have not noticed anything unusual about it. Whenever I see her, I feel happy and think that she is the hope for the revitalization of Tingyun Manor."

An Qingwan nodded. Anyone would think the same way if they had such a capable daughter.

Yu Shen smiled bitterly: "However, she has been stuck in a bottleneck for the past two years. Whether it is sword techniques or sword intent, she has been unable to make any further progress. That's when I finally realized something was wrong. When I see her again, I feel no joy at all. I am even afraid, afraid to see her."

An Qingwan was utterly puzzled: "Why?"

Yu Shen seemed to realize something, his body trembled slightly, and fear appeared on his face: "Because I see her no longer as a person, but as a sword!"

An Qingwan asked, "A sword?"

Yu Shen sighed, “That’s right. She was a sharp sword, and she lacked the emotions that a normal person should have. Now that she has become a sword, I’m afraid. How can I not be afraid? If she had only hurt me, that would be fine. After all, it was my own fault for leading her down the path of swordsmanship because of my obsession. But... once the sword drinks blood, it will probably not only hurt one person, but millions of people.”

An Qingwan's expression also became serious.

Judging from Yu Shen's description, did Sanchi become possessed while practicing swordsmanship?

Just as she was thinking, Yu Shen suddenly knelt down on the ground.

"Your Grace, Goddess."

An Qingwan was startled: "Master Yu, what are you doing?"

Yu Shen said, "Now that things have come to this, I can only place my hopes on you. If you can defeat my daughter in the duel, she may be able to recover her former self."

An Qingwan said, "Even if you don't say it, Master Yu, I will accept the challenge and find a way to defeat Sanchi."

Yu Shen shook his head and said, "Difficult, difficult, difficult."

An Qingwan asked, "Does Master Yu not believe in my abilities?"

Yu Shen said, "If it were a life-or-death battle, I believe Your Highness would have a great chance of winning, but if it's just a contest of swordsmanship..."

Clearly, he didn't think An Qingwan's sword could surpass Sanchi's.

Sanchi is a born swordsman.

She was more sincere with the sword than anyone else.

She grew up in the Hidden Sword Pavilion of Tingyun Manor, and she was also older than An Qingwan.

Yu Shen simply couldn't believe that An Qingwan could defeat San Chi only in swordsmanship.

He said, “Everyone says that my daughter’s swordsmanship is flawless, a masterpiece of nature, the pinnacle of swordsmanship. But that’s not true. My daughter’s swordsmanship has a flaw, though it’s only a tiny one. But it is indeed a flaw. Ordinary people can’t find that flaw, but you definitely can, as long as…”

An Qingwan extended her hand: "No need to say anything."

Yu Shen hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I do not mean to look down on you. I have come with the utmost sincerity. After you defeat my daughter, I can show you the Cloud Rolling and Unrolling Manual passed down from my ancestors."

An Qingwan shook her head and said, "If I had used a weakness to defeat Sanchi, would Sanchi have truly awakened as a result, instead of becoming even more deeply entrenched in demonic possession?"

Yu Shen suddenly froze.

This question distracted him.

can you?

He already knew the answer.

“I will win because my sword is better than hers, not because her sword is cracked.”

An Qingwan got up.

She cupped her hands slightly in greeting.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Master Xie Yu."

Yu Shen wanted to say something more, but An Qingwan had already turned away.

Looking at the lifted curtain, at that not-so-tall, pale-backed figure, he was speechless.

He only felt regret.

He was originally a swordsman.

As a swordsman, he said those words to An Qingwan, which was not only a desecration of An Qingwan, but also a desecration of the sword he practiced.

"No wonder I have practiced swordsmanship for many years but have accomplished nothing. I am not sincere to the sword, nor to people. I... sigh."

Yu Shen sighed and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards An Qingwan.

"Your Grace, I misspoke."

Once An Qingwan had gone far away, Yu Shen immediately sent someone to drive away from Chengdu.

Although he didn't know where Sanchi had gone, given Sanchi's terrible sense of direction, it would probably take him some time to get to Chengdu.

He still has a chance to solve the problem during these days.

In the restaurant.

Jin Xueyi asked curiously, "Miss An, what did the fishmonger say to you?"

An Qingwan calmly replied, "It's nothing serious, he just told me some stories about the Three Fools."

Her mind was now entirely focused on the final strike of the Thirteen Deadly Swords, namely the Fifteenth Deadly Sword.

That sword strike was her decisive blow!

……

at the same time.

Longzhou.

Looking at the two figures standing in the shadows, Sikong Tingxue suddenly realized.

"Senior Sister Xue, so this is where your confidence comes from!"

P.S.: Thanks to Electric Butt Cat, Night Breeze Feather, and It's Really Outrageous Blade.

Ninety-four three fools' foolishness, Sikong Tingxue's kiss [3k]

Sikong Tingxue followed Xue Lianxi into Shu.

She originally intended to secretly follow An Qingwan, and then seize the opportunity to run out and show her face, and build a relationship.

But after talking with Xue Lianxi at Cui Sanbian's place, she changed her mind.

She wanted to see what Xue Lianxi was really up to this time, on her master's orders.

She followed him for about ten days.

Only now, in Longzhou, north of Yizhou, does she finally understand the source of Xue Lianxi's inexplicable confidence when she speaks to her.

"Three Fools!"

Sikong Tingxue stared intently at the person standing next to Xue Lianxi in the courtyard.

She was a young woman of similar height to her.

Dressed in a white, fitted outfit.

Her long, black hair was simply tied back.

Her face was unadorned, and her chest was flat, which evoked pity in people.

The famous Sanchi was dressed in extremely simple clothes.

But no one can ignore her presence.
