Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 72: The Strange Girl

Just now, when Chu Yang said he could help Gu Duxing achieve his dreams ahead of time, Gu Duxing was only half convinced, holding onto a thought of "after all, it's just escaping a marriage and cultivating, isn't it the same?"

But now, he was completely convinced!

"This sword technique can guarantee your breakthrough to sword sovereign within a year! But you can only practice up to the breakthrough of sword sovereign; you must stop there. Otherwise, if you continue to delve deeper, your mind will still be entranced by the sword technique and fall into madness," Chu Yang said slowly, his eyes shining with a sharp light. "Once you break through to sword sovereign, we will have other methods. The path of cultivation requires step by step; I believe you understand this principle."

"That's enough, enough!" Gu Duxing trembled as he said, "Thank you... thank you..."

He never imagined that at his wits' end, such a great gift would fall from the sky! Chu Yang's existence had completely become a lifeline for Gu Duxing at this moment!

He had become Gu Duxing's only hope of rescuing Sister Xiao Miao ahead of time! Gu Duxing would rather die a thousand times than give up this opportunity!

Chu Yang smiled and finally relaxed.

What he did fundamentally bound Gu Duxing to him. But the biggest reason was for the feelings between Gu Duxing and Gu Miaoling. Such feelings stirred the softest part of Chu Yang's heart.

Mo Qingwu!

Such deep feelings should not be let down! And those infatuated women like Mo Qingwu and Gu Miaoling should definitely not be disappointed!

At that moment, someone outside the door asked, "Excuse me, is anyone inside?"

The two looked at each other and both jumped up with a start.

These two had been drinking and chatting since this morning, completely neglecting the responsibility that comes with being a shopkeeper. The Heavenly Weapon Pavilion had already reached noon and still had not opened for business…

"I'll open the door; you tidy up…" Chu Yang was about to walk back when, before he even finished his sentence, Gu Duxing had already jumped up, cradling the mad sovereign sword art he cherished, and dashed into his own room.

"Damn!" Chu Yang was dumbfounded. He quickly swept away the wine vessels from the table, grabbed the table itself, and tossed it aside with a whoosh.

Only then did he clap his hands and walk over to open the door.

A wave of alcohol scent rushed out as he opened the door!

"Ugh; cough, cough…" A bout of coughing erupted as a girl patiently waited outside the Heavenly Weapon Pavilion. However, she frowned involuntarily as that wave of scent hit her.

"Uh? Here to buy a sword?" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly.

With his experience, he couldn’t quite describe the girl before him. She was definitely not the stunning beauty that would leave one in awe at first sight; her nose, mouth, and eyes appeared quite ordinary. Yet beyond this extreme ordinariness, there was an inexplicable charm.

If you merely glanced at her and walked past, you would probably not remember her at all. But if you looked at her a few more times, you would instantly realize that she was filled with countless unique traits.

Her facial features seemed easy to comprehend at first glance, but the longer you looked, the more ethereal and elusive they became. Her gaze was dreamy, her complexion calm and steady—clearly a woman, yet she exuded an air of unparalleled majesty!

Standing at the door, though delicate and fragile, she gave an impression of being as solid as a mountain. Her presence was unshakable!

She stood there alone in front of the Heavenly Weapon Pavilion, seemingly having been there for quite a while. Despite Chu Yang taking so long to open the door, she remained calm and composed, her demeanor one of serene tranquility.

Although she was clearly just a girl of seventeen or eighteen, she emitted an aura of profound wisdom.

Almost at the first glance, a familiar feeling suddenly rose in Chu Yang's heart. It seemed... he had seen her somewhere before?
