"Right, right."
"Mhm, mhm."
"Senior Sister is right."
Shen Yingxue took a deep breath and gave one last look at Gu Chengming, still practicing his sword below. Then she turned and quietly left the hillside with the four fellow disciples whose loyalties had completely shifted.
The five of them said nothing along the way, but every one of their ears was red.
With the departure of those uninvited guests, silence returned to the hillside.
And below, out of their sight, the pink Flowing Light that had completely captivated them finally faded away in the cool night breeze with the last returning wisp of Sword Qi.
In the small courtyard below, Gu Chengming stood with his sword lowered.
It still couldn't truly be called a Sword Domain, but for someone at his current level, managing this much was already quite impressive.
[The Yin Yang Creation Strategy was quite satisfied.]
Though the Yin Yang Creation Strategy was merely the "partner" in this Cultivation Method pairing, it seemed to be having a grand time.
Gu Chengming had tried using the Yin Yang Creation Strategy as a catalyst to deploy Sword Domains centered on other Cultivation Methods. Unfortunately, so far, only the Huiyuan Sword Art had worked.
Little Huiyuan was quite pleased about it, and Gu Chengming had naturally caught its enthusiasm.
[Hundred Bones Ming said pitifully: "I want a combined technique with Heavenly Emperor Gu, too."]
[The Huiyuan Sword Art huffed: This is the special bond Chengming and I share! You'll have to keep practicing!]
[The Huiyuan Sword Art hadn't ruled out the possibility entirely, because it felt that more Cultivation Methods might "dance" with Heavenly Emperor Gu like this in the future. It was already quite satisfied to be the first!]
[The Huiyuan Sword Art thought: I'd better enjoy this time
