He discovered that the Origin Energy Sword Technique of Ten Thousand Flow Towards the Sea was a very profound sword technique. This sword technique relied on momentum to win. Every stab of the sword was like a surging river. It did not seem fast, but it required the support of a very strong energy to execute.
On the other hand, Qianlin's Thousand Swordplay of the Four Stars Swordplay was the exact opposite. Her swordplay was full of variations. She didn't use her full strength in each strike, but when combined with her footwork, she was always able to appear in the most tricky places.
At its peak, the shadows of Zhou Qianlin and Demortus filled the air.
One was steady, the other agile. Each had its own advantages.
But as time went on, Lan Jue began to discover something strange.
The two swordplay were too harmonious. Every move seemed to have something in common with each other.
Although they were two completely opposite methods of using the Cloud Sword, it was as if they existed for each other.
Once his opponent used a move, he would definitely have a move that could break his opponent's move.
Gradually, Lan Jue found the pattern. She found the most suitable moves to counter Zhou Qianlin's attacks.
Qianlin, on the other hand, was trying to figure out the pattern of his moves. If he broke one of them, she'd counter it with another.
The original intense collision gradually disappeared, and the confrontation between the two sets of Legendary Swordplay began to become gentle.
Fully immersed, Lan Jue's understanding of the swordplay deepened. After what seemed like an eternity, Jun Yongye's voice rang out. "Let's call it a day."
Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin sheathed their swords at the same time. They watched Zhou Qianlin shine with the blue light of the blades. Lan Jue smiled. Though Qianlin had yet to recover, he could feel the rapport between them.
This feeling made him feel as if she had really returned.
"When can we start practicing the Harmonious Swords?" Lan Jue asked.
Xuanyuan Shishi's voice answered. "You're still far from it.
Right now, they were just sparring without releasing their Sword Qi.
When you have comprehended to a certain extent, we will gradually undo the seal on the sword, allowing the aura of the Celestial Trapping Sword and the Celestial Extinguishing Sword to merge into it. Then, you will have to gradually increase the amount of energy you inject into it.
Only when they could wield their swords at full strength without hurting each other and unleash the full power of their swordsmanship would they be able to attempt the Dual Sword Amalgamation.
Do you think it's that easy to combine two swords? "
Lan Jue nodded slightly. Xuanyuan Shishi was right. The Dual Sword Harmony was not easy. It was so powerful that the two swordsmen had to give it their all, and their minds were connected.
Through today's practice, he had already found some telepathy.
Light flashed, and the two divine swords turned into light and entered their bodies. In the next moment, Lan Jue realized that she and Zhou Qianlin had returned to the room.
Looking at Zhou Qianlin who was standing there in a daze, Lan Jue said softly, "You must be tired.
I'll help you wash up, and then I'll make you something to eat. "
If there were such things as the Ten Great Tortures, Lan Jue would have thought they were weak. Compared to Zhou Qianlin's bath, they were nothing.
In the shower, he and Qianlin accidentally joined together three times before they were done.
When it was all over, Lan Jue felt even more exhausted than when he'd been practicing with the sword.
When he finally got Zhou Qianlin to change into the clothes Hera had left for her, Lan Jue felt like he was about to collapse. Not physically, but mentally.
He made some food and fed Zhou Qianlin before he ate himself.
His communicator rang. "Hey, what have you been doing all day?
I haven't seen you. "The Driver's voice answered.
Lan Jue replied. "I've been meditating.
What time is it? "
The Driver replied. "It's dark, and you're asking me what time it is?
Do you want a drink tonight? "
Lan Jue hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Zhou Qianlin. "Alright.
But I need to bring someone. "
When he wasn't meditating, he didn't want to merge with Zhou Qianlin. Letting her see the outside world would help her recover.
"Come."
Lan Jue changed her clothes, then led Zhou Qianlin out.
Zeus's five maids were in the shop, and when they saw him pull Zhou Qianlin out, their expressions varied.
In any case, none of them looked particularly happy.
"I'm going out for a bit. You all go get some rest." Lan Jue left with Zhou Qianlin.
Xiaosu couldn't help but ask Mika, "Xiao Mi, what's going on with Zhou Qianlin and the boss?" She knew Zhou Qianlin, but she didn't know much about Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin.
Mika's response was short. "Don't call me Xiao Mi. What rice?
It's a long story.
Sigh … men can be too single-minded sometimes. It's annoying. "
Ke 'er nodded in agreement. "That's right.
I wouldn't mind making him a little one. "
"Hey, can't you be a little more reserved?
Don't you know shame?
You're a girl! "Lin Guo-guo couldn't help but pinch her cheek.
Kerr was unconvinced. "What's wrong with being a girl?
Girls have the right to pursue love.
Besides, I'm not a pure girl. I'm a robot girl, okay? "
Xiaosu was helpless. "I can't accept men being fickle.
That's why I like the boss. "She was blunt about her feelings for Lan Jue.
"Whether he's single-minded or fickle, there's nothing for us." Xiu Xiu rose to her feet. Her eyes were lonely as she walked to the back.
"Sister Xiu Xiu, where are you going?" Kerr asked.
Xiu Xiu said, "To clean up the boss's room."
Kerr flew after her. "You're too virtuous. Why don't you let me take advantage of you?
Let's do it, okay? "
"Go away …"
Lan Jue held Zhou Qianlin's hand as they walked down Skyfire Avenue.
The surface of Skyfire Avenue was as quiet as ever, and the simple stone floor gave a solid feel to the solidity of their steps.
To Lan Jue, the air was soothing.
"If only there were no Marauders.
Every day I'll take you for a walk down Skyfire Avenue.
When we pass the Gothic Winery, we'll find the Wine Master for a glass of red wine. Every time I open a bottle of his good wine, I'm happy to see his distressed face.
When we pass the Seamstress, we can ask her to give you a dress. The seamstress's craftsmanship is excellent.
If the Gourmet doesn't want us to trouble his wife, he'll cook something delicious for us.
After we eat, we can go to the Barista's for a cup of coffee.
When we get married, we'll go to mom's and ask her to take our wedding photos.
What do you say? "Lan Jue held Zhou Qianlin's hand, her voice soft.
Zhou Qianlin silently followed him, still acting on instinct.
What Lan Jue didn't notice, however, was that her heartbeat had sped up in that instant.
Before long, they arrived at the Seamstress's boutique.
The Driver was already waiting at the door. He was dressed in a dark-striped double-breasted suit, giving him the air of an experienced gentleman.
"This way, please." He pulled the door open, a smile on his face.
The Seamstress stood just inside, a smile on her face. She nodded to them. "Welcome."
Inside, a table had already been set.
A plate of dried fruit, a plate of cut fruit, and a plate of fermented ham.
There were also glasses of iced water and empty wine glasses.
Lan Jue pulled Zhou Qianlin to a seat.
The Driver looked at him, then at Zhou Qianlin. "How is she?"
Lan Jue smiled. "Better.
She'll recover slowly. "
The Driver nodded. "What would you like to drink?"
Lan Jue nodded. "I'd like something mild today."
"Aukentenhausen," the Driver said.
"Alright."
Aukentenhausen was also a whisky. It had a soft, creamy aroma, mellow and smooth like silk.
She swirled her glass, watching the golden liquid within. Lan Jue smiled. "Just a day and you're already missing me?"
The Driver picked up a piece of fermented ham and popped it into his mouth. "What's there to miss?
I mean, I think I've got the booze.
Give me my share. "
Lan Jue smiled. "I knew you wouldn't be so nice as to invite me over for a drink. I'll give it to you later.
Do you think I'd take your share? "
The Driver chuckled. "That's hard to say."
He raised his glass and clinked it against Lan Jue's. The two of them drained it in one gulp.
As the Driver poured, Lan Jue turned to the Seamstress. "The Beautician …"
The Seamstress's eyes darkened. She sighed. "She's a little better now. She's strong.
At least she's got her revenge to support her.
Don't worry too much. "
"Yeah." Lan Jue nodded.
He understood the pain of losing a loved one.
The Seamstress sighed again. "She regrets it.
She regrets not accepting the Barber's proposal. "
The Driver grunted. "That's why they say life is short. Enjoy it while you can.
By the way, Jewelry Master, I like Su Xiaosu. Do you think you could introduce us? "
Lan Jue paused, but nodded. "Alright.
But I'd suggest you talk to her yourself.
She's a strong woman, and she's experienced a lot.
Don't tell me you don't have the courage? "
The Driver glared at him. "Are you kidding me?
How could I not have the courage?
Where is she now?
I'll go invite her over. "
Lan Jue looked at him suspiciously. "Are you serious?"
The Driver puffed out his chest and straightened his dark blue striped tie. "Of course."
Lan Jue nodded. "She should be in the shop."
The Driver shot to his feet and left.
