"Stuck on the third sword?"
Seeing Wang Junze sheathe his sword, Luo Qingxuan directed her gaze back to him and softly inquired.
"Yes!"
Nodding slightly, Wang Junze replied, "This sword is far more difficult than I imagined. It’s unlikely I can master it in a short period."
"It’s perfectly normal, after all, this Sword Manual is an incomplete fragnt, lacking the core Heart thod. The fact that you could so quickly master the first two swords is already quite surprising to . If you could master the last three swords in one go, Qingxuan might just tie you up and bring you back to the Sect herself." Luo Qingxuan chuckled.
This was naturally a joke, but it still showed Luo Qingxuan’s admiration for Wang Junze.
"Thank you, Saintess!"
Wang Junze expressed his gratitude once more, "It’s getting late, I shall take my leave now."
"Go ahead. Knowing you could master these two swords puts my mind at ease." Luo Qingxuan nodded slightly and softly added, "Rember, outside is not like the City Lord’s Mansion or with Su Yuwei. Investigating this matter will surely lead you to danger, so you must be cautious. If faced with a formidable enemy, do not act impulsively; survival is paramount."
"Yes, I will keep that in mind," Wang Junze responded again.
After saying this, Wang Junze imdiately turned to leave.
As he exited the mansion, the steward ca forward proactively.
"Young Master Wang, your residence has been prepared. I’ll take you there now."
Compared to before, the steward’s attitude was significantly more courteous.
Soon after, the steward led Wang Junze to a small courtyard. This courtyard was evidently chosen with care, positioned just between the City Lord’s Mansion and the inn where Su Yuwei resided.
The courtyard wasn’t large, more suitable for a solitary dweller, yet the layout was exceptionally elegant and well-equipped, freeing Wang Junze from mundane concerns.
"Young Master Wang, do you find it satisfactory?"
Standing in the courtyard, the steward asked softly.
"Thank you, it’s quite excellent." With a slight bow, Wang Junze expressed his gratitude once more.
"If that’s the case, please rest assured and make yourself at ho here. If you need anything, feel free to co to the mansion and find , and I will ensure it’s prepared for you," the steward added once more.
After these words, the steward didn’t linger and took his leave directly.
Having practiced swords all day, Wang Junze felt a bit weary and returned to his room to rest.
However, Wang Junze had barely slept for half an hour when he heard a knock on the door.
Getting up to open the door, he saw a woman in blue attire standing outside with several attendants. Before Wang Junze could speak, the woman in blue took the initiative to say, "Lan Yi from Phoenix Perch Pavilion, greetings to Young Master Wang."
"Phoenix Perch Pavilion?"
Montarily stunned, Wang Junze imdiately recalled that the Phoenix Perch Pavilion was only a Minor Sect, but within the Northern Domain, it was quite famous as it only accepted female disciples who were invariably young and beautiful. While their talents may not be remarkable, they often had intricate connections with various Sects and families.
As for how these connections were established, there was no need to elaborate.
It was rumored that those whom the disciples of the Phoenix Perch Pavilion got close to were also the best disciples of various Sects and families, though he hadn’t expected them to seek him out as well.
Could this be considered a form of recognition?
For a mont, Wang Junze couldn’t help but feel both amused and troubled.
"Has Young Master Wang heard of our Phoenix Perch Pavilion?" With a light laugh, Lan Yi bowed courteously and said, "I didn’t an to disturb Young Master. It’s just that upon hearing of Young Master’s solitary residence in this courtyard, I thought there might inevitably be a lack of attendants for managing minor chores, so I ca without invitation, letting them tidy up Young Master’s room and such, hoping Young Master won’t mind Lan Yi’s intrusion."
Instinctively looking at those behind Lan Yi, the attendants she brought were actually a few maids, all of whom were also attractive young won.
"No need, I appreciate the gesture, but I’m used to living alone, and I don’t need them,"
Shaking his head, Wang Junze calmly refused.
For a young man, using these beautiful won as a ans to approach Wang Junze indeed seed an effective way of temptation. However, Wang Junze’s mind was not on this, and naturally, he wouldn’t be swayed by their allure.
"Since I’m already here, Young Master Wang, surely you won’t be so heartless as to leave Lan Yi standing outside, will you?" Lan Yi said with a feigned look of grievance, blinking her eyes.
It’s hard to hit soone with a smiling face. When she put it that way, Wang Junze couldn’t very well refuse, so he stepped aside, letting her enter the courtyard.
"A guest is a guest, Miss Lan Yi, please co in."
Smiling, Lan Yi walked into the courtyard and proactively said, "Knowing you just moved in and aren’t prepared, they’ll fetch water and brew tea. Young Master won’t mind, right?"
With a slight twitch of his mouth, Wang Junze couldn’t refuse and simply sat down at the stone table in the courtyard: "Indeed, there’s nothing to entertain you with, so feel free to make yourselves at ho."
Upon hearing this, without needing Lan Yi’s instructions, the maids began to handle everything on their own.
anwhile, Lan Yi also sat down opposite Wang Junze, and with a light laugh, said, "Young Master needn’t be so wary; Lan Yi has no malicious intent. I only heard your na and wished to beco acquainted. If Young Master dislikes it, you may send them away later, and we won’t dare make things difficult for you."
"I wouldn’t say wary, but how did Miss Lan Yi get the news so soon when I only just moved in today?"
Raising his head to look at Lan Yi, Wang Junze asked.
