Starting with an orphanage, I mass-produced peerless empresses.

Bai Xiaoxue changed into plain clothes, concealing her face, before stepping out of the courtyard.

Seeing Lin Yun sitting at the door, she greeted him with a smile.

"Dean, I'm going out for a walk."

Lin Yun glanced at Bai Xiaoxue, not recognizing her at first glance, and nodded.

"Remember to be careful, don't let anyone target you."

Recently, they have been going out occasionally, and Lin Yun has gotten used to it.

Although there are certain risks involved in going out, it's not like raising canaries.

They can't stay indoors forever; they'll eventually have to face danger in order to truly grow!

"Okay, I'll be careful!"

Bai Xiaoxue waved and went out excitedly.

Due to news of the treasure, the central streets of the city outside the boundary were bustling with activity, attracting various forces and independent cultivators.

Bai Xiaoxue didn't care about any of that. She walked through the crowd, her mind constantly on the matter of Absolute Sword Valley.

"I wonder what it looks like, and whether it can really help me comprehend sword intent..."

She was filled with anticipation; if she succeeded today, she could go back and ask the dean for praise.

Of course, this also brings her one step closer to revenge!

Bai Xiaoxue was so engrossed in her daydream that she forgot she was still walking on the street and accidentally bumped into someone.

She snapped out of her daze and quickly bowed and apologized.

"I'm so sorry, I was just spacing out..."

When Bai Xiaoxue looked up, she was immediately stunned.

The first thing that came into view was a woman in a white dress, wearing a straw hat and a veil over her face, giving her an ethereal air.

But what caught her most attention was her enviable figure, especially her perfect curves; no wonder it felt so soft when she bumped her head against it earlier…

Three pairs of men and women in white robes followed her, and they all frowned when they saw Bai Xiaoxue bump into someone.

"Where did this wild girl come from, you..."

Just as one of them was about to reprimand, the woman in the white dress stopped him.

Upon seeing this, the men immediately withdrew and bowed respectfully to her.

The woman in the white dress squatted down and smiled as she looked at Bai Xiaoxue in front of her.

"Little sister, are you hurt?"

The woman's voice was like heavenly music, and very gentle, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

Bai Xiaoxue quickly shook her head and smiled.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine!"

"Ah That's good."

The woman in the white dress patted her head; she always had a great fondness for children.

Besides, the little girl in front of her gave her a special feeling of warmth.

Suddenly, the cries of a vendor came from the side.

"Candied hawthorn berries, sweet and crunchy candied hawthorn berries..."

The woman in the white dress immediately stood up and waved to the vendor.

"Give me one... give me three skewers."

"Alright, that'll be three coins in total."

As he spoke, the vendor took down three skewers and handed them to the woman in the white dress with a smile.

The latter raised his hand, and a piece of mystic crystal flew out from his sleeve, floating in front of the vendor, startling him.

"If you don't have any silver, use this instead."

The vendor's eyes lit up, and he kowtowed repeatedly in gratitude after receiving the crystal.

"Thank you, sir!"

This piece of mystic crystal is enough for him to go home early and improve the meals for his wife and daughter.

After the vendor left excitedly, the woman in the white dress held up a candied hawthorn and handed it to Bai Xiaoxue with a smile.

"this is for you."

Bai Xiaoxue paused for a moment, then pursed her lips and said.

"Sister, I'm an adult now. These candied hawthorns are for little kids."

But looking at the candied hawthorn berries handed to her, she fell into deep thought.

Three seconds later, Bai Xiaoxue, holding a string of beads in each hand, said happily.

"It's delicious, thank you so much, sister!"

"There's another string..."

"I can't take any more, so you can have it, sister."

"That's...ok."

The woman in the white dress sighed softly, seemingly reluctant to accept the gift.

"Little sister, you go ahead and eat. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

"Okay, goodbye, sister!"

Bai Xiaoxue also remembered that she had important business to attend to and needed to hurry to the Absolute Sword Valley to comprehend the sword intent!

How could something so important be delayed by something as trivial as candied hawthorns!

"Mmm, but it's really delicious..."

Bai Xiaoxue ate as she set off.

Lu Xian'er, standing behind him, looked at the people around her, her voice becoming much colder.

"Let's set off too, and continue tracking down that treasure!"

As the young master of Hehuan Valley, this was the first time she had independently undertaken a major mission for the sect.

This is also a test for Hehuan Valley after years of nurturing her!

As for the people accompanying her, none of them were top-tier experts; they mainly served by her side, handling miscellaneous tasks.

Her goal this time was the city beyond the boundary, the treasure that countless people yearned for, and she had already located the person who possessed the treasure!

This treasure is something that Hehuan Valley is determined to obtain!

"Yes!"

The group responded and left with Lu Xian'er.

During this time, Lu Xian'er put the candied hawthorn into her bamboo hat, lifted a corner of her veil, and carefully ate it.

Before long, they arrived at a desolate three-story building in the city.

The group searched the place thoroughly before finally returning to Lu Xian'er's side and respectfully reporting back.

"Young Valley Master, there are signs that someone lived there, but we haven't found anyone or anything. They must have left."

While eating a candied hawthorn, Lu Xian'er asked casually.

What about underground?

"I checked everything, but it wasn't there."

At this moment, someone standing nearby frowned and said.

"Could it have run away? That shouldn't be the case; it was right here half an hour ago."

Lu Xian'er remained silent. A golden compass appeared in her hand, and she infused it with her profound energy.

In an instant, the compass shone brightly, and the inscriptions on it began to spin rapidly, eventually settling on a particular arrangement.

After glancing at it, Lu Xian'er shook her head.

"No need to look anymore, that guy has left the city."

The group frowned and asked.

Where outside the city?

"Judging from this location, it seems to be near the Valley of Absolute Swords."

These words greatly excited the group.

"Great! Let's chase after them now!"

At this distance, they can catch up in no time!

However, Lu Xian'er put away the compass and looked at them, saying...

"You shouldn't go this time. Stay in the city and wait for my news."

"Ah? Why is this?"

Seeing the puzzled looks on their faces, Lu Xian'er looked into the distance and said.

"I have a feeling that this treasure won't be easy to obtain. We must be careful and may find it difficult to protect you."

The group exchanged glances, all of them understanding the difference in strength between themselves and the young valley master.

"Alright then, we'll wait for you at Yuelai Inn."

Lu Xian'er nodded slightly, then stepped into the air, and a bright blue longsword appeared beneath her feet, carrying her into an arc of light that shot straight into the sky!

Countless people in the city beyond the boundary looked up in shock at the sword light soaring into the sky.

Even though they were miles apart, they could still feel the terrifying sword intent.

It seems that the person on that sword is definitely several times more terrifying than the Thunder Sword Emperor from before!

Nearby, in a dark corner, a man resembling a dwarf smiled.

He took out a communication talisman and left a message on it.

"The fish has taken the bait, get ready quickly!"
