Remould the Glory of Sword Art

Everything was arranged by Master.

The reputation of Chen Jingxuan from the library indeed comes in handy.

After listening to Xie Xuanyi's words, Huang Su no longer spoke and instead stood up, ready to leave.

But the next moment—

"Buzz!"

A thread of clear and bright Sword Qi suddenly swept out.

Huang Su seemed to casually flick her sleeve, directly tossing aside the Sword Qi. This thread of Sword Qi arrived without any warning, reaching the forehead of Xie Xuanyi in the blink of an eye.

With a bang!

The candle flame on top of the stone table split in two and exploded. Xie Xuanyi reacted incredibly fast, almost in the moment the Sword Qi left the sleeve, he had made his move. He extended a palm, pinching a wisp of candle flame between two fingers, before flicking it away at close range.

When the Sword Qi collided with the candle flame, a burst of fireworks erupted in the courtyard.

Rustle, rustle.

The scattered fragments of flame extinguished as they fell through the air.

Xie Xuanyi still sat in his original position, except that the smooth surface of the stone table had been sliced open.

The gap between the Cave Heaven Realm and the Yin God Realm was as vast as a chasm.

But Huang Su's sword contained no killing intent and didn't even bear any substantial Primordial Energy.

This sword stroke was just a test.

"Peak Master Huang, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to dodge if you strike like this?"

Xie Xuanyi smiled.

"If you are a disciple favored by my senior brother, you won't fail to dodge."

Huang Su put her hands behind her back again and said indifferently, "As someone working in the library, you should be aware that the Sword Cultivators of the Da Sui Sword Palace are not benevolent people, especially my senior brother Xuanyi, who had countless lost souls under his sword... If you offend a Sword Cultivator, your end would be extremely miserable."

Xie Xuanyi sighed softly in his heart.

He understood Huang Su's meaning.

If he had failed to dodge, then he simply would have failed to dodge.

A single life, the Peak Master of Lotus Peak could still take responsibility for that.

In fact, the moment Huang Su stood up, indicating her intention to leave, Xie Xuanyi had already made his preparations deep within his Heart Lake...

The recognition tonight was unexpectedly smooth.

In Xie Xuanyi's memory, Huang Su was indeed a "simple" child.

But definitely not stupid.

Huang Su deliberately took him away from True Hidden Peak and brought him here, under Lotus Peak. She patiently listened to so many "clues," yet there was one matter that hadn't been firmly verified.

The library files were real, the chaos in the Qing State, as well as Jiang Qihu's coordination.

They provided enough evidence that "Xie Zhen" was under the library's command.

But merely a "surname" and a story seemed insufficient to prove the relationship between Xie Xuanyi and Xie Zhen.

So—

Verification of his identity required one more thing.

That was to see if Xie Xuanyi had left his lineage on "Xie Zhen."

The exchange in the flash of lightning prior.

Xie Xuanyi had completed his "self-verification," the wisp of candle flame he released contained the mental method transformation of the Da Sui Sword Palace as well as the subtle Sword Intent of the Da Sui.

This also explained why Huang Su did not strike a second time.

The Great Yue hung high.

Even though the candlelight was out, the courtyard remained bright.

"What you said earlier was indeed beyond my expectations,"

Huang Su slowly spoke, "To tell you the truth, this residence was specifically vacated by order of the Sect Leader, reserved exclusively for someone 'destined' to come..."

The Sword Palace Master Zhao Chunyang was a bona fide Saint of this era.

Every action he took had a reason, never aimless.

This statement was actually quite meaningful.

Huang Su narrowed her eyes: "Because the Sect Leader mentioned it, I've been wondering if senior brother Xuanyi left behind a 'successor' who would one day return here... However, now that I see you, I always feel a bit strange."

Xie Xuanyi lifted his head: "What's strange?"

"Not sure."

Huang Su said earnestly, "The feeling in my Heart Lake tells me you're not a bad person... but I always feel like I can't see through you."

She looked meaningfully at Xie Zhen's "living being's appearance."

Although she didn't expose it, Huang Su knew early on that the young man before her wore a Magic Artifact that could change his appearance and temperament.

But it didn't matter.

Who doesn't have secrets?

The thing she couldn't see through was not only the living being's appearance.

"Peak Master Huang."

Xie Xuanyi slowly got up, performing a courtesy: "I dare not say that this residence left by Pure Yang Sect Leader was meant for me... but, why not try?"

Huang Su was silent.

"There are not many residences under Lotus Peak. Those with destiny will be even fewer."

Xie Xuanyi calmly said, "If I am indeed that destined person, I will naturally be able to sit steadily and sleep soundly."

"That's reasonable,"

"Even though your mental method and Sword Intent have proved your relationship with the Da Sui,"

Huang Su said softly, "I also know that the librarian acts openly and had a good relationship with senior brother Xuanyi, so your background can be considered transparent... but before the case is completely investigated, I still need to see clearer, more substantial evidence."

"Because once the investigation into the North Sea case starts within the Sword Palace, it will not stop…"

"Even I don't know how many people will eventually be involved."

Huang Su took a deep breath and slowly said, "Although I am currently in charge of Lotus Peak, I am still alone after all. This matter is very likely to encounter resistance at every turn and may even lead to those old acquaintances, senior brothers, and even many Elders and Masters."

Xie Xuanyi opened his mouth, wanting to speak but then hesitated.

He looked at Huang Su with a complex gaze... At this moment, he probably understood his junior sister's meaning.

At first,

he thought of coming to Da Sui under the name of Xie Zhen, intending just to try to find out the truth of what happened back then.

To allow himself to "die" with an understanding ten years ago.

And Huang Su wanted to make "everyone" who failed senior brother Xuanyi pay the price—
