Noon had co and gone and with the sun changing its position, the sunlight no longer shone on the Oath Hall but scattered behind Xu Qing.
Xu Qing walked out of the group of solemnly standing Sword Holders. The sunlight reflected off of him, setting him apart from the others.
The captain looked at Xu Qing's figure. He sighed with emotion but also felt smug. He thought to himself, 'This is my junior brother.'
Qing Qiu was in the crowd. Her pretty face was expressionless under the mask. She glanced at Xu Qing and felt a little disgusted. Hence, she turned her head and looked in the direction of the Nanhuang Continent.
She didn't like such sunny days. She liked it when the wind blew and snow fell.
This was because every ti she looked at the distant world on a snowy day, she would vaguely see a small and skinny figure walking over warily while sticking to the corners of the wall and nodding at her.
'Brother Kid…' Qing Qiu mumbled inwardly.
'I'll definitely go to the Nanhuang Continent to look for you as soon as possible. I feel that the so-called heaven's chosens here are inferior to you. If you were in their shoes, you would be stronger than any of them!'
While Qing Qiu looked into the distance, Kong Xianglong and the others looked at Xu Qing. The others still had unconvinced looks in their eyes, but Kong Xianglong didn't.
He was smiling, and his smile contained blessings.
It wasn't just to Xu Qing. He was the sa to his friends as well.
Under everyone's gazes, Xu Qing calmly walked forward. After taking nine consecutive steps, he cupped his fists in front of everyone and bowed respectfully to the five people in front of the hall in front of him.
"Greetings, Lords."
The Deputy Palace Master and the four deacons looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's na was already known by the five of them. Back then, the ringing of the Dao bell alard the entire Sword Holding Palace and even the county governor asked about it.
Now that they had personally seen Xu Qing's figure under the sunlight and the red flas on his white clothes, the four deacons nodded inwardly.
The Deputy Palace Master's eyes revealed admiration and his expression beca a little gentler.
"Xu Qing, you got 100,000 feet light in heart inquisition and the emperor personally appointed you which is a first for my Fenghai County. Therefore, with the Palace Master's decree, you are hereby enlisted as the Palace Master's edict bearer!"
"You will follow the Palace Master from now on. I hope you can temper yourself more. Don't let down the praise of the Great Emperor and the chi of the Dao Bell!"
"I respect the decree!" Xu Qing's expression was solemn as he cupped his fists and bowed again.
He wasn't too surprised by this arrangent but he still felt so regret.
He didn't want to be an edict bearer. He wanted to go to a departnt similar to the Homicide Departnt.
As soon as the Deputy Palace Master spoke, the minds of many new Sword Holders shook. The gazes they used to look at Xu Qing were filled with intense envy.
The edict bearer was equivalent to getting a civilian post beside the Palace Master. Although such a position didn't have any rights, he would represent the Palace Master. After taking his post, anyone who saw him had to be polite.
This was especially so when the Palace Master never had an edict bearer before. Xu Qing was the first.
In everyone's eyes, this in itself represented how much the Sword Holding Palace's Palace Master valued Xu Qing. Through this action, he told the world how important the 100,000 feet light and Great Emperor's appointnt was.
One could imagine that after this matter spread, all the new participants in the Sword Holder assessnts in the future would pay more attention to heart inquisition.
Although this position suited the glory Xu Qing had obtained, there were still so unconvinced Sword Holders here.
For example, Zhang Siyun.
He stared at Xu Qing and the disgust in his heart was intense, especially when he still felt a piercing pain on his left cheek even though the swelling had gone. That was where his mother had slapped him.
'I'm not trash!' Zhang Siyun gritted his teeth and roared inwardly.
The Deputy Palace Master and the others who were standing in front of the Oath Hall didn't care about others' reactions. Even though Zhang Siyun's ancestor was among them, he didn't even glance at Zhang Siyun from the start to the end.
"Xu Qing, although you've been appointed by the Palace Master and don't need to take the assessnt, you still have to go to the seven days of secret training."
Xu Qing nodded solemnly before returning to the Sword Holders' lineup. His calm and experienced actions caused the five people in front of the Oath Hall to nod inwardly again.
"All of you, listen up." The Deputy Palace Master retracted his gaze from Xu Qing and glanced at all the Sword Holders below.
"The command sword you obtained in your respective Sword Holding Court is not only a voice transmission item of the Sword Holders but also an artifact to check your contributions. At the sa ti, it is also the foundation of the Sword Pavilion."
"In a while, you can use this to build your Sword Pavilion under the city. This Sword Pavilion will accompany you for the rest of your lives. It's the sa even if you are sent out to work."
"The higher the height of the Sword Pavilion, the greater the glory it represents. I hope that one day, soone among you can form a 100,000 feet tall Sword Pavilion."
"Only after you die will your Sword Pavilion be removed by the Sword Holding Palace. However, your nas will be written in the Oath Hall. The future Sword Holders will have to pay their respects to you every ti they make an oath. You will never be forgotten."
The Deputy Palace Master slowly spoke. After saying this, he flicked his sleeve and the dazzling light in the hall behind him instantly scattered in all directions. All the doors were completely open, allowing everything inside to be clearly reflected in the eyes of all the Sword Holders.
There was clearly another space in the hall, and the actual range exceeded the hall itself.
There were countless command swords inside.
So were intact, so were damaged, and so only had fragnts. There were even so who seed to have lost their sword bodies and were replaced with spirit tablets.
A sense of heroism assaulted everyone.
There were too many spirit tablets and command swords inside. The whole hall was filled with them.
These were all the Sword Holders who had died in battle in Fenghai County over the countless years!
Every one of them was once a heaven's chosen of the human race.
