99: You don't mind talking to me, do you?

The Liyue Sword Sect's Sword Pool is famous throughout the entire Qihuang Continent.

The collection of Immortal Swords within it includes almost every variety.

Because of this, many Cultivators travel to the Liyue Sword Sect every year to seek a sword.

It could be said that the Liyue Sword Sect is the Holy Land in the hearts of all Sword Cultivators in the Qihuang Continent.

"Such pure Sword Intent. I feel like just staying here and meditating would be of immense help to one's own Dao of the sword."

Before even getting close to the Sword Pool, Gu Yuan felt a powerful Sword Intent.

That pure Sword Intent even caused the immortal slaying sword to vibrate.

Gu Yuan gently pressed down on the immortal slaying sword at his waist and spoke with great emotion.

Yun Qingci's pretty face no longer held its usual comical expression, replaced instead by a serious and solemn look.

"Yes, the Sword Pool is the Holy Land of my Liyue Sword Sect. Here... countless Immortal Swords are buried."

Yun Qingci sighed softly, her tone carrying a melancholy rarely heard from her.

Before the ancestors of the Liyue Sword Sect passed away, they would choose to return the Immortal Swords that had accompanied them throughout their lives to the Sword Pool.

If they met a fated person in the future, that would be the moment their Immortal Swords were restarted.

In a way, this also represents the spirit of the Liyue Sword Sect.

"The Sword Intent of countless ages has condensed here, which is why... well, why it's so staggering."

Tian Mei followed up from the side, though she still felt somewhat unnatural when facing Gu Yuan.

"Truly worthy of the Liyue Sword Sect. Qing Ci, you're really amazing..."

Xi Nian said softly.

Qing Ci usually acted in a dorky and funny way.

However, now that she was at the Liyue Sword Sect, she presented herself as the successor of the Current Sword Immortal.

The Liyue Sword Sect's Sword Pool was located in an abyss valley.

Thousands of Immortal Swords stood in the valley, each one shining brilliantly.

Di Luoying was currently standing at the entrance of the Sword Pool.

Her expression was equally solemn, and her white dress made her look extremely cold and elegant.

Here at the Sword Pool, she was the Current Sword Immortal whom the entire continent revered.

Seeing this scene, Gu Yuan only felt that Luoying was truly beautiful.

And... he suspected that no one could imagine how shy this peerless Current Sword Immortal was when she was in his arms.

"Gu Yuan, the Sword Pool is a sacred place. You must not be rowdy or flippant. Do you understand?"

Once Gu Yuan and the others reached her side, Di Luoying looked at Gu Yuan and spoke softly.

Gu Yuan nodded seriously upon hearing this and gave a respectful salute.

"I naturally understand the Sword Immortal's teachings."

Di Luoying revealed a slight smile; she was quite satisfied with Gu Yuan's behavior.

The Sword Pool was, after all, the Holy Land of the Liyue Sword Sect. Even though Gu Yuan was someone very important to her, Di Luoying did not want him to show any flippant attitude.

Fortunately, he did not disappoint her.

"Are you ready? Once you go in, empty your mind and quietly sense the connection between you and the swords. Qing Ci..."

Di Luoying asked Gu Yuan, then called out to Yun Qingci.

"Revered Master..."

Yun Qingci came to Di Luoying's side and answered softly.

"You have experience. Go in with Gu Yuan in a moment and act as his Protector. Remember to stay safe above all else. Do you understand?"

Yun Qingci gave a soft hum of agreement. Being able to personally witness Gu Yuan lose the bet... well, that was also quite nice!

"I'm ready too. Well then, Little Noodle, shall we go in now...?"

Gu Yuan came to Yun Qingci's side and spoke, and she nodded in response.

"Good luck, Gu Yuan. You can definitely succeed! Uh... cough, cough... Qing Ci, I didn't mean it like that."

Xi Nian had originally wanted to cheer for Gu Yuan.

But then she saw Yun Qingci blinking her eyes at her from the side. Only then did she remember that Qing Ci seemed to have a bet with Gu Yuan... so she hurriedly waved her hands, indicating she didn't want her to lose.

Hmph~

Yun Qingci pursed her little lips. If they weren't at the Sword Pool, she would definitely have taught Xi Nian a harsh lesson.

She was always siding with Gu Yuan; she really was following her husband's lead, wasn't she?

We're supposed to be sisters! Hmph, what a plastic sister.

But it was fine, she still had Tian Mei.

Thinking of this, Yun Qingci looked toward Tian Mei.

As a result, one look was enough to nearly infuriate Yun Qingci.

Because she saw that Tian Mei was actually peeking at Gu Yuan secretly and wasn't looking at her at all!

Only when she seemed to feel Yun Qingci's gaze did Tian Mei finally look toward her.

Emmm.

This pair from the "Anti-Gu Yuan Alliance" looked at each other, feeling more than a little awkward.

"Um... Xi Nian and I will wait for you outside. Cough..."

Tian Mei left those words and ran to Xi Nian's side.

Yun Qingci rolled her eyes, grabbed Gu Yuan's sleeve, and walked into the Sword Pool.

"Let's go! Hmph~"

Gu Yuan shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. This silly hair.

Watching Gu Yuan and Yun Qingci enter the Sword Pool, Di Luoying walked over to Xi Nian and Tian Mei.

She looked at Xi Nian and said softly:

"You... well, it should take some time for Gu Yuan to obtain a sword. You don't mind chatting with me, do you?"

Eh!?

Xi Nian stared blankly at the Sword Immortal in front of her.

Um... could it be that she saw her relationship with Gu Yuan and came over to give her a warning...?

Would she draw her sword in the next moment...? She didn't seem to be a match for this Sword Immortal... In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Xi Nian's mind.

"Okay... um..."

Xi Nian nodded gently, already feeling a bit dazed.

"As for you... why does your aura make me feel so disgusted? But... it's only a trace. Strange..."

Di Luoying looked at Tian Mei on the side and spoke with a slight frown.

Her Sword Heart told her that she did not like this woman.

But... it was only a trace of dislike, which was very strange.

Tian Mei pursed her lips upon hearing this. This Sword Immortal was truly sharp.

"Well... my situation is a bit complicated. In short... I am Gu Yuan's person now."

Tian Mei had originally wanted to express that she was on Gu Yuan's side now, hoping the Sword Immortal wouldn't be so wary.

However, after Di Luoying heard this, her beautiful eyes turned cold.

Was this woman here to provoke her?

Even that Little Saintess didn't dare to say it so directly, yet you said it so bluntly?

Gu Yuan's person... Heh... Di Luoying let out a cold laugh and didn't say anything more, simply turning around and gesturing for them to follow her.

Eh... Tian Mei scratched her head. Why did it feel like she was even more hostile now...?

What was going on? Well, it seemed her study of human emotions still needed improvement.

Xi Nian walked beside Tian Mei, having cleared her head by now.

However, after hearing the conversation between these two, her expression was also somewhat peculiar.

To be honest, during the upcoming chat, they wouldn't just start fighting as they talked, would they?
