Xiang Lan thought for a while, then said, "I like it."
"Good little girl, you’re the first young person I’ve t who says they like swords." Xie Leyou was taken aback, "I thought tis have changed, and no one likes swords anymore."
In the Jianghu, swordsn are always mysterious and free-spirited.
The protagonists in stories are also mostly swordsn, traveling the world with a sword, and their popularity has always been high from ancient tis to the present.
"Because my brother practices swordplay every day." Xiang Lan rested her chin on her hand, "My brother is the most powerful, so the weapon he practices with must also be the strongest, that’s why I like swords."
Xie Leyou: "..."
He didn’t know whether to marvel at the deep bond between Hejia and Xiang Lan as siblings or to worry about having no successors.
His son only knows how to go against him, and his second disciple uses a knife as a sword, creating his unique path.
His third disciple does like swords, but cannot gather Inner Strength, so he cannot train in the "Heavenly Movents Nine Swords."
What should he do...
Xie Leyou looked up at the sky in sorrow and sighed deeply.
Until a small hand reached in front of him, accompanied by a childish voice asking, "Master, would you like so candy?"
Xie Leyou was stunned: "...Candy?"
In his life, he’d never recalled being asked such a question.
Of course, this was also because there were so very few people who dared to speak to him.
Most who had seen him had beco the Dead Souls beneath the Sword Saint’s Sword.
"Brother says that when you’re sad, eat sothing sweet; your mood will improve." Xiang Lan said earnestly, "This is one of my few candies left. You’re my master, so I’ll share one with you."
Xie Leyou looked at the three-year-old little girl in silence for a long ti and finally took a candy from her hand.
He is the Sword Saint, his hand is ant for wielding sword to kill, yet when receiving this candy, his arm trembled slightly.
Xie Leyou didn’t know with what feelings he put the candy in his mouth, but he did indeed taste another flavor of this world—
Sweet.
Xie Leyou suddenly felt enlightened.
So, this is sweetness?
In so matters, he was not as knowledgeable as a three-year-old girl.
What a pity...
Xie Leyou held Xiang Lan’s wrist, feeling her pulse.
The foundation was damaged and hard to restore. This life, she would be unable to gather Inner Strength, precluding her from reaching the pinnacle of Martial Arts.
Such a clever child, how did she end up with such an illness?
Genius seems to be envied by the heavens!
He didn’t know if he could save her, but if no one could cure her innate defect, her lifespan would not be long.
Xie Leyou sighed and led Xiang Lan into a cave, telling her, "You can read all the books here. There’s a Barrier I’ve set up, except for your brother and my two disciples, no one else can enter unless their cultivation far exceeds mine."
But nowadays in Jianghu, besides the renegade forr Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch Gui Qing, who else has cultivation above Xie Leyou?
This is an absolutely safe place.
"Oh." Xiang Lan replied obediently, "Master, you go ahead, I will read the books well."
Xie Leyou’s heart almost lted, he tentatively asked, "Why don’t you recognize as a father, how about it?"
Xiang Lan had already taken out a book, "No, brother said I have a father."
Xie Leyou frowned, his voice turning sharp, "If you have a father, why didn’t he appear when you siblings were being chased, why didn’t he protect you! It seems he’s not a qualified father!"
At this, Xiang Lan raised her head and looked at him calmly.
Her pair of black eyes devoid of waves, resembling two deep pools, unfathomable.
In that mont of eye contact, Xie Leyou actually felt as though he was being watched by the abyss.
In the abyss, there seed to be sothing massive about to awaken.
The mont it awakens, the whole Shenzhou will be shaken.
"Brother says it’s because Father is out protecting more people." Xiang Lan’s tone remained serene, "If Father doesn’t go, more will die, and in the future, we must protect them too."
Xie Leyou was suddenly struck, his emotions becoming extrely complex in an instant.
After a while, he said, "You read well, I will take my leave."
He’s going to find her Qinggong that doesn’t require Inner Strength to perform and a peerless sword.
At this ti, Xie Leyou had only one thought—
This girl is no ordinary person, even with a frail body, she has millions of troops in her heart, and will achieve great things in the future.
However, at this mont, Xie Leyou could never have imagined that ten years later, this three-year-old girl would beco the renowned Princess Yongning, the first woman to enter the East Palace as Crown Prince.
Just as he couldn’t imagine that the little boy he picked up during his travels would, a few years later, step into Jianghu, unleashing an unprecedented storm.
The trajectory of the Shenzhou Land Continent was quietly altered from this mont.
The wheel of destiny started turning at this mont, yet no one knew.
Just as the historical records said the first simultaneous presence of the Master of Highest Heaven Tower and Princess Yongning had traces during Yongning’s impersonation of King of Yan to oversee Yan Mountain in that battle.
But actually, this year, they had been cultivating on the Celestial Mountains.
It’s just that at this ti, destiny hadn’t woven their paths together.
One was reading in a mountain cave, the other practicing Martial Arts in the dense forest.
Yan Yunyin did not recognize Xiang Lan, at this mont his heart held only the vendetta for his parents’ murder.
Xiang Lan hadn’t heard of Yan Yunyin either, at this mont she only wanted to get stronger, to protect those she loves.
In the blink of an eye, June passed, and Xie Leyou returned.
Upon his return, he brought Hejia from the Shence Military Camp up to the Celestial Mountains too.
"Brother!" Xiang Lan ran out happily, "Brother, I’ve finished reading another book."
"Xiao Lan is very impressive." Hejia stroked her head, "Seeing you doing well relieves ."
The Celestial Mountains were rich in Spiritual Energy, although Xiang Lan couldn’t gather Inner Strength, the Spiritual Energy was nurturing her body.
Before leaving, Xie Leyou had added another seal to her body to alleviate her pain during bouts of illness.
"Brother, I have read many books, I will be able to help you then." Xiang Lan lifted her little head, "I am almost done reading all the military strategies."
History would not record that Xiang Lan’s ability in employing troops was honed from these books.
"Kid, this is for you." Xie Leyou tossed out a Longsword, "Though practicing with a spear, don’t forget to practice with a sword as well, otherwise you’ll waste your innate sword skills."
Hejia took the Longsword, realizing imdiately that it was an excellent sword.
"This is for my disciple." Xie Leyou said with a smile, "Co take a look, this is a good sword."
Xiang Lan curiously approached to find it was a sword that could be both soft and hard.
Moreover, this sword could split into two.
"When you’re not using it, you can wear it around your waist as a belt." Xie Leyou stroked his beard, "It looks nice too."
