After Fei Cui left, not long after, a male voice spoke up.
"YueYing lord, what do you command of me?" The young man arrived and stood solemnly in front of XuanYuan XuanLi, his gaze firm. At just eighteen years old, he had already earned the title of Sixth Rank Fei He.
XuanYuan XuanLi Sitting on a mahogany armchair, holding a cup of tea, she furrowed her brows slightly as she looked at the man in front of her. Not only did she sigh in her heart, but also lamented the decline of the goddess bloodline. He was the only male disciple in the Sect.
In the past, when the bloodline was at its strongest, there were over a hundred male disciples in the Pure Moon Sect.
"Recently, the Pure Moon Sect has finally fulfilled its wish, after two long years of effort, and has finally summoned the last descendant of the goddess bloodline. She has safely arrived at the Pure Moon Sect today, and I believe you should already know about it."
ZhanYue felt a twinge in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged: "Yes, YueYing lord. What do you need me to do?"
XuanYuan XuanLi continued, "I have a special mission to entrust to you."
"Xuan Xiaowei is a descendant of the goddess bloodline, and may be the key to awakening her bloodline. Your mission is to follow her and guide her to understand the operations and mission assignments of our Cuiying Tower, especially how to slaughter monsters."
"Just a reminder, there will be a trial at the Cuiying Tower in two months. You should first take her to the Spiritual Martial Arts Pavilion of the Clean Moon Sect and see which type of weapon she resonates with," XuanYuan XuanLi slowly set down his teacup, his gaze revealing contemplation.
XuanYuan ZhanYue addressed XuanYuan XuanLi, saying, "For this Cuiying Tower trial, most girls usually train for at least three years before participating. This... might be a bit too soon for her, don't you think?"
XuanYuan XuanLi couldn't help but smile slightly, "There's no way around it, she doesn't have much time left in her destiny. As a descendant of the goddess, the trial of Cuiying Tower won't pose a danger to her. Don't worry, both of you are descendants of the goddess bloodline, I believe this will be a good start."
XuanYuan ZhanYue nodded, his expression turning serious, "Understood, my lord. I will spare no effort to complete this mission."
XuanYuan XuanLi is very satisfied with ZhanYue's answer. She picked up an ancient book from the desk, gently patted it, and said to him, "Very good, ZhanYue, you can leave now. Once you are ready, go find XuanYuan Xiaowei immediately."
At this moment, the atmosphere in the study became even more serious and heavy. XuanYuan ZhanYue felt a hint of unease about the upcoming mission, but also understood that it was inevitable.
He walked quietly out of the study, and buried deep in a corner of his heart, he also felt a hint of curiosity about the woman who was about to become his new target for the mission.
After XuanYuan ZhanYue left, an elderly maid turned to YueYing lord and asked softly, "Lord YueYing, although ZhanYue Lord will certainly follow your instructions, do you not think it is too hasty to ask him to approach that young girl so quickly?"
YueYing lord replied lightly: "It's not like that. This is also to help them develop a certain level of affection as quickly as possible. Before understanding the arrangement of fate, I can only consider and speculate in various ways."
Cuiying Tower exudes an enchanting atmosphere. Bright lights shine through delicate paper windows, casting soft shadows as if breathing life into the floor.
But tonight, a man named XuanYuan ZhanYue will shatter this tranquility. He approaches Cuiying Tower with a black longsword in hand, emitting a formidable aura.
XuanYuan ZhanYue stood expressionless in front of the Cuiying Tower, slightly lowering his eyelids, taking a deep breath, and then slowly reaching out to knock on the door.
Just as he was about to knock, he found that the door was not tightly closed.
"Hmm?" ZhanYue raised an eyebrow slightly, and at that moment, a curiosity occupied his mind. He decided not to wait any longer, gently pushed open the door, and walked in.
As the door slowly opened, ZhanYue's gaze first fell on a small white tiger, which was nestled in Xuan Xiaowei's arms, looking quite accustomed to the situation. Xuan Xiaowei was using a cotton swab to clean the tiger's ears.
Upon seeing this scene, ZhanYue couldn't help but feel puzzled: Isn't this white tiger named Bai Cang rumored to be extremely difficult to tame? Why does it now look like a house cat?
Xuan Xiaowei looked up and saw XuanYuan ZhanYue, feeling a bit surprised for a moment, but quickly regained composure. After all, it wasn't uncommon for people to visit the Sect.
At the same time, Bai Cang also noticed the presence of this stranger and couldn't help but frown, whispering a warning.
Seemingly coquettish but actually sensitive and suspicious, Bai Cang has never liked strangers, especially men like XuanYuan ZhanYue who exude a dangerous aura.
Ignoring Bai Cang's aversion, XuanYuan ZhanYue turned his gaze to the girl who was focused on digging her ears - Xuan Xiaowei.
"I am XuanYuan ZhanYue, we've met before," ZhanYue introduced himself concisely, then continued, "I am here by the order of YueYing lord to lead you to the Spiritual Martial Arts Pavilion to choose a weapon."
Xuan Xiaowei smiled faintly, put down the cotton stick in her hand, and softly said to Bai Cang, "It looks like we are going out, Bai Cang."
Bai Cang seemed to understand Xuan Xiaowei's words, jumped out of her arms, and still stared at ZhanYue with ill intentions.
ZhanYue found it amusing, but also thought this white tiger was quite interesting.
His admiration for Xuan Xiaowei was evident in his eyes. This girl was not only beautiful, but also had a kind of elusive quality that made her hard to pin down. He really wanted to know what special qualities Xuan Xiaowei had that made fate choose her.
"Are you ready to go?" XuanYuan ZhanYue asked.
"Okay, let's go," Xuan Xiaowei picked up the cloak next to her and draped it over herself, with Bai Cang following at her feet.
The three (one person and one beast) left Cuiying Tower and set foot on the road leading to the Spiritual Martial Arts Pavilion.
XuanYuan ZhanYue would occasionally observe Xuan Xiaowei secretly, and he found that this girl seemed to be full of curiosity about everything around her, but she also remained calm and composed. This made his curiosity about her grow stronger and stronger.
Spiritual Martial Arts Pavilion is the place that disciples of the Pure Moon Sect dream of the most. Especially for newly admitted disciples, coming here is like stepping into the gateway of a fantasy world. The outer walls are built using rare silver rutilated quartz, leaving footprints that resemble walking in the galaxy.
Xuan Xiaowei and Bai Cang entered the Spiritual Martial Arts Pavilion, where they were greeted by a wave of spiritual energy, making them feel relaxed and at ease.
Bai Cang has turned back into the appearance of a tiger, a white tiger following behind a young girl dressed in the attire of a disciple of the Pure Moon Sect, truly an extraordinary sight.
"XuanYuan Xiaowei, this is the Spiritual Martial Arts Pavilion. Inside, there are various weapons and treasures. As you are a newcomer, you can choose one as your initial weapon upon entering the Sect," XuanYuan ZhanYue stepped forward, his eyes revealing a hint of caution.
Regarding the special aura on XuanYuan ZhanYue, he seemed to be very concerned. Bai Cang rolled his eyes at him, looking displeased.
"Remember, at the Spiritual Martial Arts Pavilion, you can only choose one weapon or item. Even if you're greedy, you can't take out more unless you have enough strength," XuanYuan ZhanYue reminded.
Xuan Xiaowei nodded and walked further inside while holding Bai Cang.
Xuan Xiaowei and Bai Cang entered the pavilion, but unexpectedly found that it was not as mysterious as they had imagined.
There were no weapons inside the pavilion, but instead it was full of people playing cards and smoking. A hint of displeasure flashed in Bai Cang's eyes as he sat in the corner.
"Where did this wild kid come from? This time, the one they sent in is not a child." A man inside the pavilion laughed heartily.
Xuan Xiaowei felt a bit embarrassed. These people were surprisingly impolite.
Suddenly, an old man who seemed to have been here for a long time suddenly spoke: "This girl is also a descendant of goddess—XuanYuan Xihui."
"Is it true? The blood of this goddess is too thin, completely imperceptible," another person sneered.
Xuan Xiaowei took a deep breath and decided to ignore their discussions, starting to look for a suitable weapon in the Spiritual Martial Arts Pavilion.
She strolled inside the Spiritual Martial Arts Pavilion, holding Bai Cang in her hands, glaring at the gamblers and smokers as if to intimidate them into not mocking the owner.
Spiritual Martial Arts Pavilion does not seem to be affected by Bai Cang's intimidation, as people still loudly laugh and gamble.
At this moment, Xuan Xiaowei's gaze fell on a row of weapons placed in the deepest part. These weapons include swords, daggers, longbows, and fans, each emitting their own unique spiritual energy.
These weapons are the people who have turned idle talk into reality.
"Is she looking at our true form? No way, right? She shouldn't be able to see us, right? I can't sense any spiritual power from her. She's just a regular human, how could she possibly see us?"
She heard the people transformed by those weapons whispering and couldn't help but laugh.
These weapons seemed to think they were invisible, but in reality, Xuan Xiaowei could see them clearly and even hear their conversations.
Seeing this, all of these weapons panicked and hurriedly retreated back into their original forms, returning to their cold, metallic state.
Xuan Xiaowei walked up to a seemingly ordinary but exuding a strong spiritual energy long sword, and gently picked it up. The sword's body was like flowing silver, while the hilt was embedded with an amethyst, looking extremely exquisite.
The sword is the one that the old man who claimed to be a descendant of goddess just mentioned.
"Have you made your choice?" XuanYuan ZhanYue suddenly appeared behind her, catching her off guard.
"Um, I want to choose this sword," Xuan Xiaowei answered without hesitation.
"Good choice. This sword is called the Sky Piercer Sword, it has the power to freeze, and is especially effective against monsters," XuanYuan ZhanYue explained, while forming a hand seal, and the weapon immediately flew into Xuan Xiaowei's hand.
Xuan Xiaowei held the sword and felt a cold air permeating from the blade into the palm of her hand. She took a deep breath and felt refreshed all over.
Bai Cang also emerged from the corner at this time, returning to human form, and looked curiously at Xuan Xiaowei's Sky Piercer Sword.
"Looks like you've made a good choice. Sky Piercer Sword should suit you well," Bai Cang glanced at Frost Edge Sword, seeming satisfied with XuanYuan Xiaowei's choice.
"I hope so," Xuan Xiaowei smiled and sheathed Sky Piercer Sword.
XuanYuan ZhanYue stood still. His gaze became complex for a moment, and his deep eyes seemed to be searching for a deeper meaning behind the selection of the Spirit Frost Sword.
He recalled that this sword had once been the distinguished weapon of a master within the Sect, and had also been used to slay a great demon by a renowned member of the YueYing Sect many years ago.
"This girl is indeed an extraordinary presence," murmured XuanYuan ZhanYue softly.
He seems to have discovered more astonishing potential in Xuan Xiaowei than he had expected. Perhaps this is exactly what the Pure Moon Sect has been waiting for.
The Spiritual Martial Arts Pavilion contains countless swords and various types of weapons, divided into nine layers. Each weapon is placed on a different floor based on its level of performance and contribution. However, Xuan Xiaowei chose the seemingly ordinary, least conspicuous ancient sword covered in thick dust.
