Old Lady ng glared fiercely at Swordmaster Kuye, then kindly said, "Xiuhu, Xuanwei might not be suitable for you.
How about this, there will be a small sword competition for the elite young disciples of the Sword Sect, held on Rain Listening Island behind Observing Mist Island. Whether suitable or not, you can go and see."
Song Yan fell silent.
If it were before, he would have refused outright, because "Dao companions are too burdenso, they are stumbling blocks for escaping, completely unnecessary."
But the circumstances have changed. He inherited Gu Huangzi’s legacy and broke through to the Middle Stage of Crimson Palace; however, the Ancient Teleportation Array over there has beco elusive, whether in terms of repair or the destination on the other side, it is not so secure and reliable.
The urgent need now is for him to hide better.
Swordmaster Kuye saw him still silent and said irritably, "Let’s go, let’s go, I’ll take you to et Xuanwei, and you, Xiuhu, can get to know her well."
Song Yan said helplessly, "Teacher, stop it. I’ll agree, alright?"
Swordmaster Kuye snorted, and said, "You should have agreed earlier."
Then he patted his shoulder and said, "Child, if you have an epiphany, don’t waste your good talent!"
...
...
A few days later...
Rain Listening Island.
Sword Rainbows fell onto the island one by one.
Those who ca were all young cultivators whose realm was above the Sixth Layer of Refining Profound but had not yet reached the Crimson Palace, both male and female.
Song Yan’s realm was actually among the lowest here; he had arrived early, secretly lurking to the side, observing the female cultivators descending from the sky.
He had a clear plan for his future.
These plans, projected onto a Dao companion, made him develop clear partner selection criteria.
First, this woman should allow him maximum access to Demon Beast Blood, so he can "pick the general among the dwarfs," selecting blood to fill his Left and Right Two Palaces.
He felt that he might not be so lucky to always encounter the Demon Beast Blood absolutely suitable for him.
The Three Kingdoms are only so big, "Changwang Tiger Blood," "Nightmare Beast Blood," and even "Night Candle Soul Worm Blood" are all unique. If he could obtain them, it was all due to luck.
If he really wanted stronger Demon Beast Blood and stubbornly refused to advance his realm, he would be playing with his life.
Second, this woman should not be trouble-prone, not looking for trouble when there’s none, causing a heap of issues; so her personality should not be too flamboyant.
Third, this woman should preferably be similar to Junior Sister Qi Yao on South Bamboo Peak in the earlier years, or Junior Sister Xiaojiu, a good person with not much of a scheming mind. He naturally had a liking for such won. But towards Miss Su Qi who had grown up, he didn’t feel much.
Of course, if things didn’t go that coincidentally, he would choose a female cultivator skilled in "chanical Casting." Because in his Storage Space there was still the Selfless Sword Fragnt left at the Ancient Teleportation Array by the first Sect Leader of the Sword Sect, the Golden-Pointed Dagger left by Gu Huangzi, and a pile of unknown pale-gold tal. If he had a female cultivator skilled in "chanical Casting" by his side, he could easily access relevant knowledge.
If there wasn’t even a "chanical Casting" female cultivator, he would choose a female cultivator skilled in "Talisman." Multi-tailed Foxes and Corpse-Eating Wolves liked to work with "fear." If he had a Dao companion proficient in talismans, he wouldn’t have to worry about Slaughter Talismans or even higher-tier talismans. He could prepare plenty of talismans for any possibly impending war.
While Song Yan was contemplating, quite a few cultivators had already descended from the sky.
Everyone knew why they were here today, but in contrast to the directness of Demon Cultivators, Sword Cultivators appeared rather shy upon landing, with no one taking the lead to greet each other.
Yet, everyone was ultimately from the sa sect, and quite a few had fought side by side, so eventually, so female cultivators and male cultivators slowly gathered together, starting to discuss so daily matters, before gradually shifting to discussions on "understanding of the Sword Dao."
However, talking a hundred sentences about understanding the Sword Dao couldn’t compare to trying Sword Control once.
Thus, very soon, the island of Rain Listening was filled with arcs of rainbow light.
Song Yan no longer hid, stepping out from behind the woods, looking around, suddenly spotting a familiar figure not far away.
It was Su Yao.
He hesitated for a mont but did not go over.
Su Yao was a pure Sword Cultivator, even though there had been so changes now, seemingly leaning more toward her family, she didn’t et any of his criteria for a Dao companion.
Many years ago, he already thought Su Yao was a troubleso woman, and now... his feelings had not changed, only intensified.
If he really chose Su Yao, he couldn’t avoid dealing with the Su Family, essentially aiming to beco the "Su Family Ancestor."
How could that be?
Just as he was thinking, a fragrant breeze wafted over from afar, a Sword Rainbow landed by his side, revealing a charming female cultivator.
The female cultivator saluted and said, "Martial Brother Xiuhu, long ti no see, I hope you’ve been well."
Song Yan rembered this female cultivator, she was a famous talent from the Sword Sect, also a branch of the Su family, surnad Su and nad Yanqing, a cultivator whom Bai Xiuhu forrly knew, only back then he was far distant from this female cultivator.
He was the kind who tried to curry favor with her, but she didn’t regard him.
However, this female cultivator was also a pure Sword Cultivator with many friends and lots of trivial matters, not very interesting.
So, Song Yan slightly bowed in return, and greeted, "Senior Sister Yanqing, long ti no see."
After a brief chat, they parted ways.
Song Yan was indifferent.
Su Yanqing, on the other hand, had the notion of "comparing many options," then went to another lone male cultivator. After a while, she engaged enthusiastically with a male cultivator, evidently considering him stronger than Song Yan.
