Junior Sister, Why Are You Here?

In the world of cultivation, time flies; half a month passes in the blink of an eye.

During the two weeks that Sang Ying stayed at the Plain Robe Pavilion, she was forced by these "doctors" to stop practicing swordsmanship and to allow her to rest and recuperate properly for half a month.

All the injuries she sustained from improper sword practice in the past have now been healed, and the Frost Return Pill refined by Sect Leader Meng has also freed her from the troubles of the cold poison.

You could say that Sang Ying half a month ago was a sword full of scars, but now she is a sword that has just been forged and is ready to be drawn.

Now that she has fully recovered, Sang Ying should naturally continue to go out and gain experience.

Originally, Sect Leader Meng was reluctant to let her leave so soon, after all, she hadn't seen her friend's daughter for far too long, and now that they were reunited, she naturally wanted to spend more time with her.

Sang Ying refused to stay; she had become too comfortable in the Plain Robe Pavilion, and that wasn't good.

Sect Leader Meng couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he could only let Sang Ying leave on her own.

Before leaving, Sect Leader Meng and the others gave Sang Ying a lot of pills. These pills were of all kinds, and there were even some new medicines that several of the younger disciples had just come up with.

If it were outside, it probably wouldn't be possible to buy it even for 10,000 mid-grade Spirit Stone.

Having received this kindness, Sang Ying secretly vowed to repay them properly when she found the opportunity.

On the day of departure, Sect Leader Meng did not come to see her off due to his status, while Nan Gurong personally escorted Sang Ying out of the city.

She told Sang Ying, "Once my cultivation has improved a bit, I will come to find you. At that time, you mustn't think of me as a burden!"

"Of course not, I'm actually looking forward to you coming to see me!" Sang Ying replied with a smile.

During their time at the Plain Robe Pavilion, the two of them gradually became good friends, and their interactions developed a tacit understanding that others lacked.

Gu Shu jealous because of this, and his mood only improved when Sang Ying was about to leave.

Seeing the two chatting again, looking reluctant to part, it hurriedly urged Sang Ying, "Aren't you leaving or not? Didn't we agree to explore the secret realm on Gleaming Gold Island? If you don't leave soon, the secret realm will close!"

The secret realm certainly won't close so quickly, since the original book clearly states that the secret realm on Gleaming Gold Island will not open for at least ten days.

Sang Ying didn't bother with Gu Shu, but she knew she really had to take her leave.

She is now in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage and has mastered sword flight.

After bidding farewell to Nan Gurong, Sang Ying stepped onto the plain white longsword and leaped into the sky. Looking back, she could still see Nan Gurong waving to her.

After taking one last look at the Plain Robe Pavilion, Sang Ying turned and headed towards the town ahead without looking back.

Gu Shu inside the spirit sword snorted a few times, "You little brat, you're really stepping on my head now, acting all high and mighty!"

Sang Ying smiled and said, "Yes, you are truly magnanimous, senior!"

Only after receiving Sang Ying's flattery was Gu Shu satisfied.

"Where exactly is this Gleaming Gold Island you mentioned? Are we going directly to that island?" Gu Shu resides within the sword, is now considered half the master of this spiritual sword. It can also command the sword to fly elsewhere, although it will consume its already limited Spiritual Qi.

Sang Ying guessed that it wanted to help her control the sword so that she could fly to her destination in one go and save herself some energy.

However, Sang Ying disagreed. "Gleaming Gold Island isn't easy to get to; you need to take a special ferry. No matter how high your cultivation level, this is the only way to get to the island, so you'd better not bother."

"Where are you going to fly to?" Gu Shu continued to ask.

Sang Ying had already considered this. "The closest town to Gleaming Gold Island, and the only town with a ferry crossing to Gleaming Gold Island, is Haizhou City to the southwest. Let's go there!"

"Alright!" Knowing the direction, Gu Shu instantly increased the speed of his spirit sword.

People only saw a streak of light flash across the sky, but they failed to see that a beautiful young woman was sitting on that streak of light.

The spirit sword flew in the sky for a day and a night before gently landing on the ground.

The speed of flying on a sword is extremely fast; now, Sang Ying only needs another four hours to fly to Haizhou City.

Therefore, when Sang Ying suggested getting off to rest, Gu Shu strongly disagreed. "We'll reach Haizhou City in four more hours, why stop to rest now?"

His words also carried a hint of complaint that Sang Ying couldn't endure hardship.

Sang Ying smiled helplessly, "Indeed, we'll be there soon, but I don't have Spiritual Qi left."

Sword control is no ordinary Technique Method; after flying for so long, Sang Ying was already exhausted. She could indeed force herself to fly to Haizhou City, but the situation there was unknown, and Sang Ying was unwilling to arrive in Haizhou City completely drained.

If something happens, she won't even have the strength to escape.

Gu Shu didn't understand her considerations and persisted, "If you're tired, I can help you fly on your sword!"

Sang Ying immediately laughed, "Your own Spiritual Qi is insufficient, and I have to take care of you from time to time. How can you help me fly on a sword?"

Gu Shu also realized that it was now struggling to even detach itself from the spirit sword and manifest itself externally, so where would it find the extra Spiritual Qi to help Sang Ying?

Realizing this, it immediately fell silent.

Having decided to stop and rest, Sang Ying found a town and planned to spend the night at an inn, so she could recharge before setting off again the next day.

What Sang Ying didn't expect was that the inn she randomly chose would lead her to run into someone she didn't want to see.

Almost immediately after checking in, Sang Ying turned around and saw a girl in a white dress walking gracefully downstairs.

At first, she didn't pay much attention. After all, there are plenty of girls who like to wear white dresses, and it might not be the one she was thinking of.

But soon, the girl spoke up, "Amo, slow down! Be careful not to get trampled."

Sang Ying was startled and froze on the spot.

She immediately turned her head and saw the young woman in white chasing a black puppy downstairs, her tone full of doting affection and love for the dog.

"Don't worry, Fuyun, I'm very careful, I won't get stepped on!" A tender, childlike voice came from the puppy's mouth, drawing involuntary glances from those nearby.

Seeing this, Sang Ying couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. This Gale Hound puppy had been raised so well by Su Fuyun that it could even speak?

She was considering whether to check out and leave when the supposedly cautious Gale Hound, as if on purpose, bumped right into her feet.

The chubby puppy didn't hurt Sang Ying properly; instead, it was bounced back and rolled over.

Seemingly bewildered by this turn of events, it shook its head, immediately adopted a fierce expression, bared its teeth at Sang Ying, and even planned to glare fiercely at the person who had caused it to bump into it.

As it looked up, it met Sang Ying's indifferent eyes.

The Gale Hound was instantly stunned.

"Hey, junior sister, what are you doing here? Did you come with us?" The annoying voice rang out again.
