When the grand formation opened, I flew out of it. Ye Yunqiu stared blankly at me for a moment before saying, "Brother Xia, your swordsmanship seems different from anyone else's. You can actually destroy a treasured sword so effortlessly... An ordinary person would probably have difficulty even taking one of your strikes."
"Killing intent fills the sword, advancing without pause. It's a sword for killing." Wei Guangyu stared at me, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.
I knew they were both waiting for an answer. I said calmly, "I don't kill innocents indiscriminately. Can the two of you trust me?"
Ye Yunqiu glanced at Wei Guangyu. Wei Guangyu kept his eyes fixed on me without looking aside. Only after seeing that my eyes held not the slightest hesitation did he say, "I trust you."
Wei Guangyu had a distinctly ancient bearing and kept faith with his promises of benevolence and righteousness. After hearing him, Ye Yunqiu nodded as well. "Since Brother Xia put it that way, I'm relieved. Let's go. The third round of the Sword Attack Arena is still tomorrow, so we can attend the banquet first."
"Attend a banquet?" I was stunned for a moment. Ye Yunqiu smiled. "Two of my good friends arrived this afternoon. They hurriedly watched the second half of the Sword Attack Arena and were utterly convinced by you, so they set up a banquet at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. They also want to sit down and discuss the Dao with you, and talk about the Way of the Sword."
Wei Guangyu and Ying Xiangxue's eyes both lit up. They were sword immortals, so naturally they were extremely interested. As for being able to become Ye Yunqiu's friends, those two were clearly experts of the same level.
"That sounds like a good thing."
