SituMuyangsaidexcitedly,andcontinuedspeakingtoSuYi,"BossSuYi,whenthetimecomes,wewilldefinitelybeabletodominateandhaveagreatbattlewiththedisciplesfromthemajorpowersandmountaingates.Wewillshowthemhowpowerfulweare!

SuYi’sfacesqueezedoutasmallsmile,butdeepinside,hefeltasenseofsilencefornoreason.

"Comeinside,myfatherisprobablywaitingforyou.Itseemslikehehassomethingtotalktoyouabout.Iwon’tgowithyou,"saidSituMuyang,stickingouthistongueplayfullybeforewalkingaway.

SuYi’sexpressionchangedsubtly.Hestraightenedhisclothes,tookadeepbreathtocalmhimself,andwalkedintothebuilding.

Insidethesidehall,therewereseveraloldpaintingsandswordshangingonthewalls,aswellasafewworn-outlargechairs.

"Comeintothestudy,noneedtofeelconstrained,"avoicecalledoutfrominside.

SuYilookedupandheardthevoiceofsectleaderSituLiuyun.

Uponhearingthat,SuYiwalkedslowlyintotheroom,andassoonasheentered,hecaughtawhiffofapleasantfragrance.

Withgracefulmovementsandaswiftstrokeofhisbrush,SituLiuyun,thesectleaderoftheDivineSwordSchool,finishedwriting.Asheloweredhisbrush,heturnedhishead,revealinghisfacewithasenseofauthorityandwisdom.

SituLiuyunglancedatSuYi,hislipscurvingintoagentlesmile.

"Thesectleader."

SuYibowedrespectfully,feelingastrangesenseofpressureeverytimehestoodbeforeSituLiuyun.

"Noneedformoreformalities,youareadiscipleofElderSu.AccordingtotherankingoftheDivineSwordSchool,youridentityishigherthanmine."

SituLiuyunglancedatSuYi,hiseyesshowingbothintentionandunintention.Hesmiledandasked,"HasElderSuevertoldyouaboutthesethings?"

"ElderSunevermentionedthesethingstome,butasthesectleader,itisproperfordisciplestoshowrespect."

"Hahaha..."

SituLiuyunsmiledslightlyandthensaid,"ElderSuisaquietandreservedperson.It’sfatethatyouareabletobecomeadiscipleofElderSu."

SuYinoddedandlookedaroundthestudycarefullywithhiseyes.

SituLiuyun’seyeswidened,andhesaidtoSuYi,"ThiswasarrangedbyMuyang’smotherinthepast,andithasremainedunchangedalltheseyears."

SuYi’seyeswidened.BasedonSituMuyang’sappearance,hewascertainthatthesectleader’swifemustalsobeabeautifulwoman.

"IheardthatintheBattlefieldofTenThousandSwords,thankstoyou,SuYi,takingcareofMuyang,Imustexpressmygratitude.Offtherecord,Ireallyneedtothankyouproperly,"saidSituLiuyuntoSuYi.

"Thesectleader,IjustdidwhatIshoulddo."

SuYiseemedabitsurprisedbutdeepdownheknewthattherewasdefinitelysomethingimportantwhenSituLiuyun,thesectleader,calledhimtothisplacetoday.Itwasn’tjustaboutgivinghimthesupposedgreatbenefitsoftheDivineSwordSchool.

"Comeandtakealook,howdoyouthinkthischaracterIjustwrote?"

SituLiuyunsmiledandsaidtoSuYi,motioningforhimtocomeforwardandtakealookatthecharacterhehadjustwritten.

"Idon’treallyunderstandcharacters,"SuYisaid.

"Nomatterifyouunderstandornot,justtakealook,butspeakhonestly,"SituLiuyunsaidwhilelookingatSuYi,seeminglydeterminedtohavehimseeit.

SuYifeltintriguedandtookafewstepsforward.Hegazedatthehugecharacter"sword"onthericepaper.Atfirstglance,itdidn’tseemlikeanythingspecial,butuponcloserinspection,the"sword"charactersuddenlycametolife.Itemittedasharpandpowerfulaura,asifitwasabouttoburstforthwithdazzlingswordenergy.

"Nicecharacter,"SuYispoke.

"Whyisitanicecharacter?"SituLiuyunaskedSuYiwithcuriosity.

"This..."

SuYihesitatedforamoment.Backwhenhecouldn’tpracticecultivationintheSufamily,hisgrandfather,Mr.SuYuntian,hopedthathewouldfocusonacademics.That’swhyhehadhiredmanyschoolteachers.

Atthattime,whenSuYicouldn’tpractice,hedecidedtodevotesometimetostudyinginstead.

Butlater,SuYirealizedthatalthoughstudyingwasnotboring,inthisworldwherestrengthwasvalued,powerwastrulyindispensable.
