Martial Master

“We should retreat first and find the pattern.”

Qin Chen led You Qianxue back down. If they encountered a formation, no matter how many attempts they made, it would be useless and they would just be led into a trap.

To break through, they must first decipher or master the formation.

Back at the foot of the mountain, Qin Chen began to ponder and observe.

He had traveled a long way to find You Qianxue, and his memory was extraordinary, recalling every path he had taken, leaving an impression in his mind.

However, the path was very strange, and for a moment, Qin Chen still couldn't find the pattern.

“This mountain path must have been set up for a reason. Since it’s a demon sword inheritance, it must be related to the sword path. It wouldn’t intentionally create a maze to trouble us, would it?” You Qianxue also pondered.

“Related to the sword path?”

Qin Chen's eyes lit up. Indeed, since it was a demon sword inheritance, it surely wouldn’t test things unrelated to the sword path.

Three days later, Qin Chen suddenly gained some insights and had a preliminary plan.

The two continued to climb the mountain, choosing one path and moving forward. After two hours, they came across two forks in the road. They chose the left one, and after another two hours, three forks appeared ahead.

They selected the middle path, and after another day, four forks appeared.

And so, the number of forks increased, later reaching hundreds or even thousands.

Qin Chen and You Qianxue were not surprised but rather delighted; this was consistent with their deductions, and they had found a correct path.

Days passed, and ahead appeared a figure.

It was Ji Ruyue.

As soon as Qin Chen saw Ji Ruyue, she also spotted the two.

Qin Chen's footsteps immediately halted, revealing a wry smile.

To be honest, the last person Qin Chen wanted to see was Ji Ruyue.

However, Ji Ruyue was now wearing a white dress, with a veil on her face, no longer dressed as an androgynous man, but as a woman.

Seeing Qin Chen stop, You Qianxue cast a suspicious glance at the two. Her feminine instincts sensed something was off.

No, something was strange; there must have been something between Qin Chen and this woman.

You Qianxue was certain.

“Hehe, what a coincidence.” Qin Chen clasped his hands toward Ji Ruyue, awkwardly smiling.

“Hmph, lingering spirit.” Ji Ruyue snorted coldly, glanced at You Qianxue, and her face suddenly showed astonishment.

She didn’t expect that in this small Northern Sky Domain, there would be such a beautiful woman, one who was not any weaker than herself.

“Miss, don’t be deceived by this scoundrel.” Ji Ruyue kindly reminded.

In her view, how could a beauty like You Qianxue fall for Qin Chen? It must be that this guy deceived her.

Scoundrel?

You Qianxue gave Qin Chen a strange glance, her curiosity piqued.

“Qianxue, it’s a misunderstanding. There’s just a small misunderstanding between me and this young lady,” Qin Chen said speechlessly.

“Misunderstanding?”

You Qianxue was suspicious; what kind of misunderstanding could cause a lady to look at him with such hostility?

She stepped in front of Ji Ruyue and clasped her hands, “Miss, what did my friend do to you just now that made you so furious? Please let me know so I can be wary in the future.”

“He…” Ji Ruyue had some good feelings towards You Qianxue, but just as she was about to say a word, she couldn’t get it out.

What was she supposed to say? That the other party was peeping at her or was a flasher?

“In any case, just remember that this scoundrel is not a good person,” Ji Ruyue said coldly, then took the lead and walked away, disappearing at the end of the passage.

“Qin Chen, what on earth happened?” Back beside Qin Chen, You Qianxue smiled.

“What could have happened…” Qin Chen said, explaining what had happened before.

“What? This lady also activated the Supreme Sword Path?”

You Qianxue was shocked. She had activated one hundred sword paths, so she understood how difficult it was to activate the Supreme Sword Path. She thought only Qin Chen could do it, but unexpectedly, this girl did too?
