"You are-"
Ji Fengyun looked at Jian Xiong and asked deliberately.
"Oh! I am Jian Xiong, the young city lord of Sword Crafting City. May I know your names?”
When Jian Xiong said this, she didn't seem to be overbearing at all. Instead, there was a sense of gentleness.
"I am Ji Fengyun, and this is my friend, Yan Zangfeng!”
Ji Fengyun replied.
"Oh! So it's Brother Fengyun and Brother Yan. Sorry for the disrespect.”
Jian Xiong's etiquette was very thoughtful. It seemed that it was due to the strict requirements that the Supreme Sword had for her.
The Sword Saint was superstitious. Many years ago, a fortune-teller said that the Lingshuang Sword was definitely a man's. Therefore, he had always wanted a son. Twenty years ago, he also had a daughter, but she was abandoned by him. (This part was not mentioned in the original work, it was made up by the author.)）
Therefore, after Jian Xiong's mother gave birth to him, she found out that he was a daughter. She was afraid that Jian Xiong would be abandoned, so she found a baby boy from somewhere else to show him to the Sword Saint. The Sword Saint was too busy to pay much attention to it, so this matter was hidden.
In these twenty years, Jian Xiong had always been a man. Ever since her mother passed away, even her closest people did not know the truth.
Jian Xiong had also slowly gotten used to her male identity. She felt that she would continue to live like this for the rest of her life and would only announce it to the world on the day she died.
——
However, after seeing a stranger like Ji Fengyun, her heart was filled with curiosity. This was because she saw many things in Ji Fengyun's eyes. This feeling made her not only curious, but also wanted to understand.
"What do you think, Brother Windcloud?”
Jian Xiong said.
"That's good. I have something to discuss with your father, the Sword Saint.”
When Ji Fengyun heard Jian Xiong's words, he didn't delay because he was originally here to look for Sword Saint. With Jian Xiong leading the way, there would be less trouble along the way.
"Well, let's go-but we only have two horses-"
Jian Xiong suddenly thought of something and said awkwardly.
"It's fine. Lead the way. I can follow.”
Ji Fengyun said indifferently when he heard Jian Xiong's words.
"That's good. I'm sorry for being rude."
Jian Xiong cupped his hands at Ji Fengyun and said apologetically. Jian Xiong also felt that Ji Fengyun's cultivation was not low, so he did not say much.
"Let's go!"
Ji Fengyun said to Jian Xiong after seeing Jian Xiong and the mute servant mount their horses.
With Ji Fengyun's cultivation and lightness skill, even if he brought Yan Zangfeng along, it would not be a problem for him to keep up with the speed of a strong horse.
However, Jian Xiong didn't know how capable Ji Fengyun was. Therefore, when she led the way, she deliberately rode slower so that Ji Fengyun could keep up.
"This person's cultivation and qinggong are so powerful! After following him for so long, his face was still not red and he was not panting. It seemed that his father was right. There were countless capable people in the world. One could not sit in the well and look at the sky.”
After riding for a while, Jian Xiong also noticed Ji Fengyun's situation following behind. However, Ji Fengyun's performance shocked her.
When Ji Fengyun used his lightness skill, that graceful figure and long hair that danced in the wind made Jian Xiong obsessed. She didn't know why there was such a perfect person in this world.
She suddenly felt that it would be great if she did not have to dress up as a man!
——
Not long after, they arrived at Sword Crafting Palace.
At the foot of Sword Crafting Palace's mountain, one could see the general shape of Sword Crafting Palace. One could also see the black smoke that was rising from the extinct volcano.
Furthermore, there were many guards on the way up to Sword Crafting Palace. It could be said that the security was tight. It was simply impossible to go up from other places. Other than this road, the other places were all steep cliffs that were unattainable.
Unless one could fly, even a grandmaster would have to take this path if they wanted to go up the mountain.
It was also because Jian Xiong led the way that Ji Fengyun could arrive here so smoothly.
The horse could no longer walk the rest of the way. After Jian Xiong dismounted, he led Ji Fengyun up.
Along the way, Ji Fengyun did not see a single blade of grass or plant. Although this was only an extinct volcano, the heat here was extremely shocking. There were also many places around the mountain that were emitting hot steam.
However, the closer he got to Sword Crafting Palace, the lower the temperature. Not only that, but Ji Fengyun also slowly saw plants growing.
"Nature is indeed magical!"
Ji Fengyun sighed with emotion at what he saw along the way.
"Yes, I am!"
Even Jian Xiong, who grew up here, was shocked by the changes.
——
"Young Master, who is this?"
After Jian Xiong brought Ji Fengyun to Sword Crafting Palace, a person walked over and bowed to Jian Xiong as he asked.
