The simple wooden door opened in front of him. Liu Yike asked the four disciples to go in first, and then he held the door and made an invitation gesture to Yu Shiqi who stayed outside.

"Excuse me." Yu Shiqi lowered his head slightly, stepped across the threshold, and entered the dojo courtyard of the Liu Sword Sect's Tianli Taichangliu branch for the second time. Looking around, he found that the dojo at this time was different from the previous one where he and Xuan

It was completely different from the ruined place with dead leaves that Yue saw when he went there together. The courtyard of the dojo was very clean, and it was obvious that someone was diligently cleaning it.

"My master traveled eastward with his sword, and I became the acting master of this dojo. I'm sorry to say that I have only received four disciples in these years... In fact, many people came to learn the art before, but

Most people have concerns about my woman's identity." Liu Yike walked in front and said to Yu Shiqi, "If the family leader is still here, the sect should not be so deserted."

Yu Shiqi asked: "Senior Liu learned his swordsmanship from his father?"

"yes."

"Then... I would like to take the liberty of asking, my senior, have you ever excelled in your skills?"

Liu Yike turned around and shook his head with a smile. Seeing that there seemed to be some disbelief in Yu Shiqi's eyes, he explained: "Before my father left, I had never defeated him in any move."

In the era when Yu Shiqi grew up, Liu Yike was already such a transcendent being in the world, so who was the former master of Tianli Taichangliu who was stronger than her?

Inviting Yu Shiqi, who was in a daze, into the indoor dojo, Liu Yike ordered his disciples to go to the backyard to practice on their own, and then personally made tea by the small stove.

Yu Shiqi knelt down on the cushion next to the wooden table, looking at the pair of bright wrists she revealed by rolling up her sleeves. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, if he only looked at these pair of catkins, who would have thought that their owner was unparalleled in the world.

What about the Sword Master? It would be more reminiscent of a gentle and delicate beauty.

"Please use tea." Liu Yike gently pushed the steaming tea cup in front of Yu Shiqi, and added with a smile: "Please be careful, the tea is very hot."

"Thank you."

Liu Yike rolled up his sleeves and sat down, and said to Yu Shiqi on the other side of the wooden table: "I almost forgot some things."

"Perhaps I don't want to think about it." Yu Shiqi replied quietly.

"I always felt that I had had a long dream. In the dream, I not only left this small ashram and went to the prosperous imperial capital where the lights never go out at night, but I also received a reward from the emperor." She held it up carefully.

He gently blew the hot air from his tea cup, with an innocent smile like a child on his face.

Yu Shiqi took her words and continued: "Later, he became the chief sect leader of the Desolate Sect, and led the Yunzhong Sword to capture the notorious Heinoushen, who was once rampant and unscrupulous."

Liu Yike sighed and smiled helplessly: "As time goes by, these things in the past really seem like a dream. When I first saw you carrying the Hanyu Star Sword, I suddenly felt sad... Really

It’s very sad. Because in that long dream, my life was actually not a happy one, and there was also cruelty and blood hidden in the shadow of the sword.”

"If my dead relatives and friends can be brought back to life, maybe I would also like to have a dream like this." Yu Shiqi replied, "I understand that everyone has the right to choose how to live, not to mention the seniors like you here.

Everything I want. However, I still hope that senior can go back with me, and I hope that you can become our leader again."

"Did something happen again in the world?"

"It was the Ten Evils who escaped from the deserted dungeon." Yu Shiqiyan said concisely and concisely, "In addition, there are new enemies rising. We have lost Sect Master Wei, and the current situation is not optimistic."

Liu Yike was stunned for a moment and murmured: "How could this happen... Sect Leader Wei has actually..."

She put down the teacup, covered her forehead and was silent for a moment, then blamed herself and said, "It was me who harmed everyone."

"Adhering to the oath not to kill may have to pay a heavy price for people other than seniors."

"But this is the tenet of sword practice passed down from generation to generation by Tianli Taichang." Liu Yike said mockingly, "I once believed in my martial arts and hoped to bring this oath to the Desolate Sect, but... the skill of swordsmanship

, this is the art of killing people. Now I don’t understand whether my persistence is meaningful."

"Of course it makes sense." Yu Shiqi affirmed without hesitation, "Senior, you have accomplished something that everyone has always thought impossible by relying on your own strength, and you have set an example for the righteousness of the world. Sword

The art is certainly a killing art, but the art is in the hands of people. When the day comes when everyone in the world has chivalry in their hearts, the world will no longer need chivalrous people."

After hearing these words, Liu Yike couldn't help laughing and asked, "Is this your ideal?"

"I...I'm afraid I can't do it."

"You really dare to say something that is impossible." There was a hint of teasing in her tone.

Yu Shiqi lowered his head in shame. He couldn't accept these words for a while.

"Okay." Liu Yike suddenly stood up and patted the hem of his clothes, "Wait for me here first."

"Senior, are you busy with something? Then I..." Yu Shiqi was nervous for a moment and subconsciously wanted to get up and leave.

"Just changing clothes." Liu Yike used soft eyes to indicate to him to sit back and wait, "I'll be back soon."

Changing clothes? Yu Shiqi sat by the wooden table and stared at the teacup in a daze, wondering whether Liu Yike only wore men's clothes when going out. At this time, returning to the dojo was equivalent to going home, so he had to change back into women's clothes?

The tea leaves settled at the bottom of the cup. He inadvertently blew into the cup and watched the water ripples, as if he could see his own restless heart.

After a while, Liu Yike returned to him. Yu Shiqi raised his eyes and couldn't help but let out a low cry of surprise.

Liu Yike still had her ponytail tied up, but there was an extra red belt on her forehead. The dress she was wearing was not the women's dress that he imagined would fit the Wuyue Water Village style, but a dojo training uniform, and her upper body was suitable for fighting with weapons.

Wearing a snow-white short coat with wide sleeves and an ankle-length red hakama skirt, she looks like an aristocratic woman from a martial family who is about to go hunting on horseback.

"Senior, what are you..."

"Didn't we agree that we should have a discussion before?" Liu Yike looked at him matter-of-factly, "Would you use Autumn Leaves or Hanyu Starlight?"

"Since it's a competition, I'd better use Qiu Ye." Yu Shiqi said and placed the Hanyu Starlight on the wooden table.

"It doesn't matter, use whatever you feel comfortable with. Or you can choose one from the sword collection in the dojo." Liu Yike smiled at him.

It seemed that he was being looked down upon, but the other party was a famous swordsman, so there is nothing wrong with not taking him seriously... Yu Shiqi scratched his hair and replied: "I will use Qiuye."

Liu Yike nodded, raised his hands and cupped his fists, bowed to him and said: "Liu's Branch Tianli Taichang Dojo, Acting Master Liu Yike, please give me some advice."

Yu Shiqi also returned the courtesy: "This junior has the same ambition as Feng Sect Yu Yan, but he dare not give me advice. Please give me some advice from my seniors."

Liu Yike stood on the left side of the indoor dojo and waved to Yu Shiqi from a distance of ten steps: "Let's get started."

Yu Shiqi stood on one side, looking hesitantly at Liu Yike who had empty hands: "Senior, where is your sword?"
