Inside the courtyard.
Using his Yin Spirit to cast Spirit Vision, Jiang Ning saw that a grandmaster was slowly approaching from outside, and a figure flashed through his mind.
The next moment.
He pressed his right index and middle fingers together and brushed them across his brow, instantly activating his Heavenly Eye.
In an instant.
A white vertical mark emerged between his brows.
At that moment, the vertical mark resembled a door—a door about to open.
Through the crack in that mark, hazy, resplendent radiance drifted out like clouds and mist.
Then his gaze swept out.
It effortlessly pierced through the towering courtyard walls blocking his sight.
He saw, on the broad road outside, a woman in a plain dress carrying a snow-white longsword, slowly walking forward step by step.
It really was her!
Xiao Qiushui!!!
Jiang Ning's pupils suddenly contracted.
Though he had yet to determine which kind of grandmaster Xiao Qiushui was among Heaven, Earth, and Man,
his intuition told him that Xiao Qiushui had already become a Heaven-Man Grandmaster.
Elsewhere.
Outside the residence.
At the end of the street.
Xiao Qiushui suddenly halted and looked toward the residence rising beside the road, built against the mountain.
"My little nephew, little sister! Today, I'll avenge you both!" she murmured, her eyes filled with longing and a faint tenderness.
The next moment.
Her expression changed sharply. The tenderness vanished, and her gaze turned razor-sharp.
In the courtyard.
"This aura—it's a grandmaster!!" Lin Qingyi had already risen from her reclining chair, muttering to herself.
Then she looked at Jiang Ning. "She's here for you?"
As she spoke, she also noticed the miraculous sight displayed between Jiang Ning's brows.
A trace of astonishment flashed through her eyes, and she could not help glancing twice more at the phenomenon on his forehead.
