Dragon Head Peak, in front of the mountain gate.
Several mountain-guarding disciples from Dragon Head Peak spotted a flying sword approaching from afar and immediately became vigilant.
The long swords in their hands were slightly unsheathed, blocking the flying sword's path.
"Who goes there?"
However, at this moment, one disciple seemed to recognize Wen Min.
"Put your weapons away, they are not outsiders."
Immediately, he enthusiastically greeted her: "So it's Senior Sister Wen Min from Xiao Zhu Peak, it's been many years since we last met at the Seven Peaks Tournament."
Seeing that the other party recognized her, Wen Min seemed to have trouble recalling his name.
After a while, Wen Min finally spoke with some uncertainty, "You are... Xu Qiang?"
Xu Qiang was very pleasantly surprised, not expecting Wen Min to still recognize him.
"I didn't expect Senior Sister Wen Min to still remember me, it's truly an honor."
"May I ask who this is behind Senior Sister?"
Wen Min looked at Su Han and introduced, "My Junior Brother, Su Han."
Instantly, the disciples present began discussing Su Han curiously.
"Su Han? Is this the new disciple Master Shuiyue took in, and the only male disciple on Xiao Zhu Peak?"
"Who else could it be? I'm really envious, to actually become a disciple of Xiao Zhu Peak, that's a 'kingdom of daughters'!"
"Damn it! Why couldn't Master Shuiyue take me into Xiao Zhu Peak back then?!"
Listening to everyone's discussion, Wen Min smiled and looked at Su Han, whispering, "Junior Brother, it seems they are all very envious of you."
Su Han smiled upon hearing this, "Then let them be envious."
After speaking.
Su Han slightly cupped his hands towards Xu Qiang, "Senior Brother Xu Qiang, I would like to see Disciple Lin Jingyu from your Dragon Head Peak, I wonder if you could inform him?"
"Just say that Su Han, a survivor from Caomiao Village, wants to ask him about the progress regarding the Caomiao Village incident."
Xu Qiang looked at Wen Min and patted his chest directly, "No problem."
"Senior Sister Wen Min and this Junior Brother, please wait a moment, I will go and inform Junior Brother Lin Jingyu now."
With that, he turned and quickly ran towards the mountain.
Not long after.
"Senior Sister Wen Min, Junior Brother Lin Jingyu is here.
Xu Qiang returned in a hurry, bringing Lin Jingyu.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Xu Qiang."
Wen Min smiled slightly, instantly captivating Xu Qiang.
"Senior Sister is too kind."
At this moment, when Lin Jingyu saw Su Han, a hint of familiarity flashed in his eyes.
Although Su Han wasn't from Caomiao Village, they had entered the sect together nonetheless.
Naturally, he felt a bit closer to him than most people in Qingyun Sect.
"Su Han, what makes you want to come find me?"
Su Han looked at the much more mature Lin Jingyu and lightly sighed.
"I came this time to inquire if there is any follow-up news regarding the Caomiao Village incident?"
"I also want to know who the culprit is, so that I can avenge the innocent villagers in the future."
While Su Han gave this reason verbally, he said to the system in his mind: "System, designate the traits to plunder from Lin Jingyu: Sword Dao Unparalleled (Gold), Fated Supporting Character (Orange)!"
[Ding! Congratulations Host on successfully plundering traits. Plundered Lin Jingyu's traits: Sword Dao Unparalleled (Gold), Fated Supporting Character (Orange)]
[Ding! Congratulations Host on successfully adding traits. Obtained traits: Sword Dao Unparalleled (Gold), Fated Supporting Character (Orange)]
[Ding! Given that the Host possesses the Fated Supporting Character (Orange) trait, this trait is a subordinate branch trait of the Child of Destiny trait. The system will now merge the Child of Destiny (White) and Fated Supporting Character (Orange) traits into one]
[Ding! Congratulations Host on successfully upgrading trait. New trait added: Child of Destiny (Blue+)]
"Now Zhang Xiaofan has completely become a substitute!"
Looking at the new trait prompt from his system, Child of Destiny (Blue+), a hint of joy appeared in Su Han's eyes.
"As expected, it upgraded again."
"Currently, Zhang Xiaofan's Child of Destiny trait is likely still gray, at most white."
"In contrast, my trait, being one step ahead, is destined to be ahead every step of the way."
For a moment, Su Han felt satisfied, "This time, my purpose for coming to Dragon Head Peak is considered fulfilled."
However, just then, Su Han suddenly felt his mind become incredibly clear.
It seemed that in the unseen, he had a completely new understanding of the sword.
It was an indescribable feeling, as if the sword was no longer just a weapon, but an extension of himself.
At this moment, Su Han was confident that if he was given any sword, he could instantly wield it as easily as an arm.
Profound and mysterious.
Su Han even subconsciously immersed himself in this realization, as if everything around him became blurred, with only the faint true meaning of the sword echoing in his heart.
"Is this the effect of the Sword Dao Unparalleled (Gold) trait? It's truly powerful!"
"Even though I've never practiced the sword, it still has this kind of effect on me."
For a moment, Su Han was filled with amazement.
His heart grew increasingly expectant about cultivating sword techniques tomorrow.
"I wonder what kind of sword technique Master will prepare for me?"
"Divine Sword Lightning Leading True Skill?"
Thinking this, Su Han quickly and silently dismissed the idea in his mind.
"I'm afraid the Divine Sword Lightning Leading True Skill is unlikely, after all, with my current cultivation level, it's too early to cultivate such a powerful sword technique."
Meanwhile, Lin Jingyu, who was beside him, watched Su Han deep in thought.
Thinking Su Han was pondering the Caomiao Village matter, he couldn't help but feel downcast.
He shook his head and said in a low voice, "Su Han, I'm very sorry, there are currently no new leads regarding the Caomiao Village incident."
Hearing Lin Jingyu's words, Su Han finally snapped back to reality.
He looked at Lin Jingyu's dejected expression, stepped forward, and gently patted Lin Jingyu's shoulder.
"My condolences."
"Regarding the Caomiao Village incident, the truth will come out sooner or later."
Lin Jingyu nodded slightly, a flicker of hatred flashing in his eyes.
Su Han looked at Lin Jingyu; since the purpose of his trip had been achieved, he didn't plan to stay any longer.
Therefore, Su Han cupped his hands, "Jingyu, I'll take my leave now."
With that, Su Han turned and left, leaving Lin Jingyu standing there, gazing at his retreating figure, his mind filled with thoughts.
Wen Min also bid a simple farewell to Xu Qiang, then once again rode her sword, taking Su Han and soaring away.
On the way back.
On the flying sword, Wen Min gently comforted Su Han.
"Junior Brother, don't think too much. The massacre of Caomiao Village is not your fault."
"As for the culprit, Master and the other Head Seats will be paying attention. When the time comes, the Head Seats will naturally avenge those innocent villagers."
Su Han smiled and shook his head at Wen Min upon hearing this, "It's okay, Senior Sister, don't worry about me."
"That's good, it's good to be open-minded."
Saying this, Wen Min stopped talking and silently controlled her sword. Soon, the two returned to Xiao Zhu Peak.
"Thank you for your help today, Senior Sister, I'll head back now."
"Okay."
Wen Min nodded, "Junior Brother, have a good rest."
The night passed without a word.
Early the next morning, Su Han eagerly got up and went to Shui Yue's door.
"Master, are you awake?"
Soon, footsteps sounded from within the room, and then the door opened.
Instantly, Su Han looked at Shui Yue with surprise.
"Master, you are...?"
