Xu Taiping had, of course, heard the name Su Chan.
Not just him-every disciple of the Azure Profound Sect, whether from below the mountain or on it, had heard something of Su Chan's deeds. After all, he was the sect's only disciple to have claimed the title of Sword Champion of the Nine Prefectures.

Fairy Lingyue's voice sounded in Xu Taiping's mind again.
Xu Taiping nodded inwardly at her words.
In truth, even without Fairy Lingyue
