251 B.C., autumn.
Behind Handan City.
The sky was clear and cloudless. An eagle was circling above the valley, its sharp eagle eyes fixed on a hare under a tree below.
When the wild rabbit was not paying attention, he flapped his wings and rushed down. His two sharp eagle claws grabbed the wild rabbit's head fiercely, and the sharp claws pierced through its flesh. The wild rabbit immediately died.
With a loud eagle cry, the eagle grabbed the hare and went deep into the clouds.
On a mountain peak, two youths were sparring with swords.
No, to be precise, one person attacked while the other defended while giving pointers.
Qin Mu placed his right hand behind his back and held his sword in his left hand. He didn't panic when facing Ying Zheng's continuous attacks. Every time Ying Zheng's sword was about to touch him, he would dodge it cleverly.
"The strength is not enough, the accuracy is not enough, the arm is weak, and the attack has no follow-up force.”Qin Mu defended against Ying Zheng's attacks while picking on Ying Zheng's flaws.
Ying Zheng's face revealed a trace of shame and anger. He gritted his teeth and threw his sword at Qin Mu. He then sprinted and leaped up, his right leg sweeping towards Qin Mu like a whip.
The sword flew over, and Qin Mu's body moved slightly, easily dodging the attack. He then slapped out with his right palm, hitting the sole of Ying Zheng's right leg and sending him flying.
Ying Zheng fell to the ground with a loud thud. Just as he was about to get up, a gust of wind blew against his face, and a cold sword was pressed against his neck.
"I lost again." Ying Zheng said in a low voice with a disappointed expression.
Qin Mu put away his sword and waved the long rainbow in his hand. With a swoosh, the long rainbow flew into the sword sheath that was leaning against the rock not far away.
Golden sunlight parted the clouds and shone down from the nine heavens, adding a trace of radiance to Qin Mu's body.
Her long, ink-like hair was tied up simply with a thick rope, and her black hair fluttered in the wind.
His skin was fair and his face was handsome. His exquisite facial features were evenly distributed on his face.
He had two sword-like eyebrows, a pair of eyes that were as bright as the stars, a tall nose, and thin lips.
He was tall and strong, nearly 1.8 meters tall, and wore a white, jade-like, narrow-sleeved robe. His entire body revealed an unparalleled and otherworldly temperament.
The immortal in the clouds gave off an ethereal and hard to find immortal aura.
"The moment you gave up on the sword in your hand, you were destined to fail.”Qin Mu stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently.
Then, Qin Mu raised his right foot slightly." Receive the sword!”
Ying Zheng hurriedly took the sword and stood up with cupped hands at Qin Mu. He smiled and said,""Elder brother is still as strong as ever.”
Six years had passed, and Ying Zheng had grown up quite a bit. He was tall and straight, with a handsome face, but his skin was slightly dark.
Even though Ying Zheng wasn't even ten years old, he wasn't short, only a head shorter than Qin Mu.
He was wearing a black martial uniform, giving off the feeling of a graceful youth.
Thump!
"Ouch!"
Qin Mu raised his hand and knocked on Ying Zheng's head while scolding him with a smile,""Stop flattering me and focus on practicing your swordsmanship!”
"Alright!"
After that, Ying Zheng continued to practice his swordsmanship.
Qin Mu strolled towards Lady Zhao who was sitting on a rock not far away. Beside her stood a young girl with delicate features. She was Dong 'er.
Qin Mu leaped lightly onto the rock and lay down. He smiled at Dong 'er and said,""Dong 'er, come and massage my shoulders.”
"Yes." Dong 'er obediently came to Qin Mu's side and stretched out her jade-like palm to massage Qin Mu's shoulders. Her movements were very skillful.
"You little brat, you're ordering your sister Dong 'er around.”Lady Zhao used her finger to flick Qin Mu's forehead as she rebuked.
"Dong 'er, ignore this guy. He likes to bully you.”
Dong 'er blushed and whispered,"It's okay, Madam."”
Qin Mu revealed an expression of enjoyment and said smugly,""See, mother, Dong 'er still dotes on me more.”
"Hmph, Dong 'er, look at how you've spoiled him. He's full of bad habits.”Zhao Ji snorted.
As she said that, she could not help but feel a little emotional. Looking at Ying Zheng who was practicing his swordsmanship, she murmured,""I didn't expect six years to pass in the blink of an eye.”
"That's right. Zheng 'er has grown up and doesn't even pee his pants anymore.”Qin Mu continued what she said.
Lady Zhao rolled her eyes at Qin Mu and revealed a flirtatious expression. She curled her lips and said,""Don't pretend to be an old man in front of your mother. You're only eleven years old.”
" Eh-" Qin Mu smiled awkwardly.
Dong 'er burst out laughing when she saw Qin Mu being deflated.
"Dong 'er, how dare you laugh at this young master? Watch how this young master will teach you a lesson!”Qin Mu forged iron with a carp and stretched out his hand to pinch Dong 'er's face, but Dong' er dodged agilely.
"Ah Mu, don't mess around." Dong 'er said with a red face.
"Then let me pinch you!"
"No!"
Qin Mu chased after Dong 'er and knocked Ying Zheng, who was practicing his sword, to the ground. Then, the three of them started to play.
As she mended her clothes, Zhao Ji looked at the three of them playing around with a loving smile on her face.
In the past six years, they had spent their days in Handan City. Although their days were a little bitter, they were monitored every day, and there were often people who came to find trouble, they were still doing well.
He didn't have much to worry about. He just needed to live each day well.
"You've all grown up."
Zhao Ji sighed and turned to look at the east. Her eyes were blurred and there was a trace of melancholy.
"Only, when can we return to the State of Qin…"
When evening approached, the sun set at the top of the mountain. Qin Mu and the rest returned to Handan City.
Qin Mu turned his head slightly and took a glance at the figure in the dark. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
