ymore after seeing that she didn’t want to talk about it.
“You can always go back and think about it! We should hurry along now! We’ll be doomed if we get out of here late!”

Luo Shishi frowned slightly, but she didn’t ask any questions either.

The trio then continued making their way down the mountain.

This time, they managed to make it out of the mountain in time.
They were already at the foot of the mountain and out of the barrier when they heard the vague sound of wind and thunder coming from the top.

Chu Liuyue looked back.
Although she couldn’t see anything with the barrier in place, she could seemingly sense the colorful lightning bolts falling from the sky. It’s a shame that we couldn’t stay…

She then retracted her gaze and said goodbye to the other two before going back to their own respective lodging.

It was already late at night by the time Chu Liuyue returned to Jiuheng Peak, but Rong Xiu’s bedroom light was still on.
It just so happened that he walked out of his room at that moment.
“Oh, you’re back.”

Chu Liuyue felt comforted to see that, although she didn’t know if it was because Rong Xiu was patiently waiting for her.
For a second, she could clearly feel a sweet and gentle warmth spreading from her heart to the rest of her body.

She nodded.
“Have you been waiting for me?”

Rong Xiu smiled.
“Not exactly.
I happened to be looking at a rather interesting item.”

That got Chu Liuyue’s attention, for that item must be something extraordinary for it to be of interest to Rong Xiu.
“What is it?”

Rong Xiu walked over to her and grabbed her hand.
“Come with me.”

As his warm and broad palm enveloped her somewhat cold hand, his familiar scent made her increasingly at ease.

She obediently followed Rong Xiu to his room and was led to the study table, where a book was placed on it.
By the looks of its yellowish pages, she could tell that the book was quite old.

“Is this the interesting item you were talking about?” Chu Liuyue looked at Rong Xiu with puzzlement.

Rong Xiu, however, lifted his chin and smiled.
“Take a look at it.”

It was only then that Chu Liuyue picked the book up.
It didn’t take long before she realized with a start that this thin and worn-looking book was very heavy.
If it weren’t because she was physically strong enough, she might not have been able to pick it up.

“What is this…” Her voice trailed off when she saw the book’s cover.

On it was an exquisite drawing of a sword—it looked ancient, dignified, and majestic, and the lines appeared powerful.
Just one look at the drawing was almost enough to take one’s breath away, but all that wasn’t important because the sword in question was the Yuan instrument she had obtained not long ago.
