Chapter 257: 255. Ling Yun Who Wants to Escape (1/4) "Sect Leader, thank you, I’ll return the sword to you."
With that, Zhao Yi handed the sword back to Wen Ping.
Wen Ping did not take it, "Return it to me once you find your aunt."
Zhao Yi nodded, expressed his thanks, and entered the room quietly, his silhouette showing a trace of loneliness.
Yang Lele and the others hurriedly followed in concern.
"Brother Zhao."
"Brother Zhao."
Everyone spoke in unison, inquiring about what happened.
Zhao Yi didn’t hide anything because they were his friends, almost like family—after spending so much time together, what couldn’t be shared?
"My aunt might be coming to find me."
Yang Lele paused halfway through her sentence, realizing it wasn’t appropriate, she quickly kept quiet, "Isn’t your family..."
"Isn’t what?"
The newcomers like Lin Kewu didn’t know Zhao Yi’s situation and quickly asked.
"Our Zhao family was exterminated, I’m the only one who survived." Zhao Yi responded in a low mood.
Lin Kewu and the others awkwardly forced a bitter smile.
"Sorry, I didn’t mean it."
"It’s alright, Brother Yang and the others already know."
Yang Lele continued the conversation, "Then your aunt?"
Zhao Yi responded, "My aunt joined a sect and hasn’t been home since childhood. The only memory I have is the Flying General Sword that the sect leader bought. That originally belonged to my father; one day he told me he gave it to my aunt. Only then did I know I had an aunt. But then, there was no news of her for seven or eight years, and everyone thought she died."
"Did she know you survived and is coming to find you?"
"It should be like that."
Zhao Yi nodded.
At this time, Qin Shan came over and said, "Don’t worry, the City Lord’s Mansion has thousands of people helping to search, you’ll find her soon."
Zhao Yi responded, "Thank you."
Huan Shan immediately stood out and promised, "As long as she’s in Cangwu City, my father will definitely help you find her."
"Thank you."
Zhao Yi finally showed a trace of a smile.
Qin Shan said, "Alright, everyone go out to cultivate, the big competition is the day after tomorrow."
"Mm."
Everyone responded and exited the room.
...
Once outside, everyone continued to cultivate.
Of course, due to the infusion, they were also practicing the Circulation Technique to perform the Circulation of Heaven.
As the night deepened, everyone prepared to return to the house to rest. Before leaving, Yang Lele said, "By the way, I’m going down the mountain to buy swords tomorrow morning, anyone coming along?"
The Sword Control Skill technique was already in their minds.
Just missing a sword.
Yang Xi responded, "I don’t have a sword."
"Me neither."
"Same here."
Everyone responded.
Huan Shan quickly said, "Then let’s go together, I know where to find the swords of the best quality. If we can’t buy them, you can get one from my family’s armory, full of precious swords from Cangwu City!"
"Great!"
"Let’s go together then."
Everyone responded.
On another side, Wen Ping found Luo Mi, who was still cultivating.
Luo Mi had a sword in his Storage Ring, currently learning how to maneuver it skillfully. Undoubtedly, Luo Mi was the fastest in cultivation among everyone, thanks to the Enlightenment, which at least put him ahead by ten days.
However, with only two days left, achieving Minor Success seemed a bit challenging.
To Wen Ping’s surprise, Hua Xiaozhu had actually managed to make her sword fly.
No, to be precise, it floated.
The sword was still wobbly, unable to face an opponent.
