Although the Herrscher of Knowledge had some reservations about Fu Hua's decision to stay, he ultimately did not strongly object, and Fu Hua and the Book of Azure remained.

Seeing that no one else wanted to stay, Jingyuan led the others toward the Chiming Dragon Palace, while the four who remained silently watched as the others disappeared up the long staircase.

Finally, the one who knew the law couldn't stand the silence and spoke up.

"Hey! What do you think of Jing Yuan, kid?"

"As for the General?" Yanqing thought for a moment and said, "He's probably the person I admire the most."

Upon hearing this, the Herrscher of Knowledge raised an eyebrow with interest. Not only the Herrscher of Knowledge was interested, but Fu Hua and the Book of Azure also secretly pricked up their ears to listen.

"The general has raised and educated me. I have been with the general since I was a child. I am a little confused about what my biological parents look like. I have asked the general about my biological parents before, but the general always made excuses to avoid the question. Later, I became interested in swords. Although the general was not good at using swords, he was still willing to teach me how to use them. It was from the general that I learned the most basic sword moves."

"Wait, if Jingyuan isn't good with swords, how did he teach you swordsmanship? Aren't you afraid you'll go astray?" The Herald of Knowledge asked.

"This is because the general's master was the previous sword master of Luofu. The general said that he was not good at swordsmanship and was not very interested in swords. In addition, after he took office as general, he was too busy with his duties and simply neglected his studies."

"Him? Give me a break. Even without my abilities, I know that Jing Yuan is the kind of kid who likes to steal moments of leisure from his busy schedule!" The Herrscher of Knowledge exposed him mercilessly. "However, he is a very loyal person. Perhaps there is something that caused him to stop practicing swordsmanship."

"Speaking of which, I once heard a retired Cloud Cavalryman say that after the Yin Yue Rebellion, Jing Liu, who was the head of Luofu Sword, also fell into demonic possession. She even escaped from the You Prison and killed many people who came to capture her. In the end, it was the newly appointed general who killed Jing Liu's grandmaster."

"Oh~ It seems that this is why Jingyuan stopped practicing swordsmanship. When he saw you pestering him to teach you swordsmanship, he probably saw his former self in you. Hmm~ Not bad, not bad! I like this personality of Jingyuan!"

"To be honest, I've been wondering about this for a while now. Is it a bit... a bit much for this young lady to keep referring to him as 'General Boy'?"

"Come on, he thinks he's older than me?" The Herrscher of Knowledge rolled her eyes and said, "And don't call me Little Herrscher! Call me the Great Herrscher of Knowledge, understand?"

"Excuse me, this great... great Herrscher of Knowledge lady. Although it may be a bit impolite, the general is over seven hundred years old. Although the two ladies do look somewhat similar to our Immortal Ship people, they shouldn't be immortal beings, right?"

"(ˉ▽ ̄~) Tch~~ Only seven hundred years old? I'm thousands of years old! If you include the time I've spent in hibernation pods, I'm fifty thousand years old. Compared to me, Jing Yuan is just a tiny kid~"

At this point, Fu Hua couldn't help but interject, "Xiao Shi, that's my age. Although you are indeed a new consciousness that was born during the time I abandoned this body and have all my memories, strictly speaking, you've only been around for about ten years since you were born. And Yan Qing, you don't have to go along with this child's temperament."

"Old Gu! Dong! Why are you undermining me!"

"At most, he could be fifty thousand years old... Sister, is what the Herrscher of Knowledge said true?" Yanqing asked in surprise, "You...you don't have a demonic body?"

"Just call me Fu Hua. Although I hate to admit it, what Xiao Shi said is indeed true. As for the Demonic Yin Body..." Fu Hua said, resting her chin on her hand, "I gained the ability to live forever for certain reasons, but at the same time, I also developed hyperthymesia. Because of this, I have to periodically erase some memories that I don't need. Perhaps that's why I don't have the Demonic Yin Body?"

"Didn't you listen to what Alto said, you old fogey?" the Herrscher of Knowledge said with exasperation. "He said that the demonic bodies of the Immortal Ship people are the work of a certain star god, in order to prevent the Immortal Ship people from obtaining perfect immortality. In other words, there are gains and losses."

Then, the Lawbringer turned to Yanqing and asked, "Speaking of which, how's your swordsmanship? Would you like to spar with me?"

"this…"

Yanqing hesitated. He was worried that the Lawbringer might get hurt because of him. Although sparring is supposed to be done when you've made a point, swords have no eyes and his injuries hadn't fully healed yet. What if he accidentally hurt someone?

However, the Lawbringer noticed Yanqing's hesitation. "Don't worry! With your mediocre skills, you can't beat me. If I weren't bored and itching to fight, I wouldn't have suggested we have a spar."

When Yanqing saw the Lawyer's disdainful look, his pride was instantly ignited.

Having just experienced the two previous battles, Yanqing had gained new insights into sword control. If it weren't for the general's orders, Yanqing probably would have already run off to the side to practice her moves.

Faced with the provocation of the Herald of Knowledge, Yanqing wisely used his sword control technique.

Six swords flew out from behind Yanqing and circled around him. Seeing this, Shizhilüzhe also whistled.

"Wow~ Sword control technique, and even controlling six flying swords at the same time, not bad!"

As he spoke, the Lawbringer drew his sword, "Words Lead to Slaughter," from his weapon case, "Hidden Sheath - Sheathed Blade."

"But that's all there is to it. One sword is enough to deal with you and me!"

Yan Qing looked at the Lawyer of Knowledge with a serious expression. To be honest, he had underestimated the Lawyer of Knowledge.

Unexpectedly, the usually carefree Herrscher of Knowledge could unleash an astonishing aura after taking out her weapon. It was at this moment that Yanqing realized that perhaps the Herrscher of Knowledge did indeed have the strength to look down on him.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Yan Qing's face. He solemnly drew his last sword from his waist and pointed it straight at the Lawgiver of Knowledge.

"Yanqing, the Valiant Cloud Cavalry Guard, I humbly request your guidance!"

Fu Hua originally wanted to stop it, but was persuaded to stop by the Cangxuan Book beside her.

"Let them be. You know Xiaoshi's personality."

But I'm worried...

The Book of Azure was naturally aware of Fu Hua's concerns after learning what had happened after she fell into a deep sleep.

"Don't worry, Xiao Shi may act as he pleases, but he also knows right from wrong and will act with discretion."

At this point, Fu Hua realized it was too late to stop it, so she gave up.

Fu Hua then sighed and said, "Xiao Shi, be careful when you make your move."
