The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Su Qingxue bowed slightly, and then, under Elder Liu's smiling gaze, left the Li Huo Hall with Ye Feng.

Stepping out of the main hall, the sunlight was just right. Su Qingxue stopped and looked at Ye Feng, a hint of helplessness flashing in her cool eyes.

"Since you can fly, then give me a ride."

In the Sword Continent, only by stepping into the Sword Soul Realm can one begin to mobilize the energy of heaven and earth and achieve the ability to fly through the air on a sword. This is a watershed sign of strength.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng paused for a moment, then asked, "Alright, where are you going?"

"Go back to where you are."

Su Qingxue said calmly, her beautiful eyes slightly lowered.

"My place?" Ye Feng asked, somewhat bewildered.

"At Tianxia Courtyard, my grandfather and father have decided that I... will temporarily live in the same courtyard as you, so that... we can get to know each other better."

As Su Qingxue spoke, her voice lowered slightly, and a faint blush rose on her fair face, but she quickly suppressed it.

"What, you don't want to?"

Su Qingxue raised her eyes and looked at Ye Feng, as if trying to discern something from his face.

Ye Feng frowned slightly and said quite frankly, "This... I'm afraid it will be quite inconvenient."

Regardless of what the future holds for them, their relationship isn't particularly close right now, and living in the same hospital is certainly awkward.

Moreover, having such a beautiful woman constantly in front of him would inevitably affect his cultivation state of mind, and he wasn't that kind of abnormal man.

I think so too.

Su Qingxue nodded slightly, agreeing wholeheartedly.

"Then you should go and talk to my grandfather. I'm sure you can contact him anytime."

Su Qingxue looked at Ye Feng with a hint of expectation in her beautiful eyes, clearly hoping that Ye Feng would step forward and reject this arrangement that she was somewhat resistant to.

Looking into Su Qingxue's clear eyes, which held a hint of expectation, Ye Feng smiled bitterly.

Consulting Su Zhen would be completely unnecessary.

Su Zhen's attitude was clear: he already knew about this in the Great Li Dynasty, so talking to him about it now would be a waste of time and might even result in him being ridiculed.

After a moment's hesitation, Ye Feng shook his head: "Forget it, there's no point in saying anything. Tianxia Academy is so spacious, let's just cultivate on our own."

Upon hearing this, the faint expectation in Su Qingxue's eyes quietly disappeared, and she returned to her usual aloofness, softly humming in agreement.

She originally had her own residence at Lihuo Peak, and even a Snow Feather Eagle mount at the Sword Master realm.

But yesterday, the Snow Feather Eagle was forcibly taken away by her father, and its dwelling was temporarily sealed by spatial power.

The purpose was obvious: to get her to comply with the arrangement and have more contact with the person in front of her.

Originally, she felt extremely resistant and aggrieved about this, but seeing that Ye Feng seemed to be forced to accept it as well, and even felt the same inconvenience, her resistance lessened.

Given his current cultivation talent and unique sword physique, he is likely to attract the attention of many outstanding women in the outside world, and they may not be willing to accept this forced marriage.

"Then let's go."

Su Qingxue said calmly.

The area of ​​Li Huo Peak is vast, and this core main peak alone is extremely expansive. The mountain paths are winding, and if one were to walk from Tianxia Academy to Li Huo Hall, it would take just as long as it did just now.

"it is good."

With a thought, Ye Feng felt his sword energy surge within his body. Then, he pointed his fingers like a sword, and a wisp of pure sword essence emerged, condensing beneath his feet into a wide sword shadow about ten feet long, glowing with azure light.

The sword shadow solidified, exuding a faint sense of sharpness.

"Come on up."

Ye Feng stepped onto the front of the sword shadow and made an inviting gesture to Su Qingxue.

Su Qingxue didn't hesitate. She lightly touched the ground with her toes and landed as gracefully as a snowflake behind the sword shadow, maintaining a half-step distance from Ye Feng.

Her figure was slender, and her silver-white dress fluttered slightly in the wind, forming a stark contrast with Ye Feng's blue clothes.

The sword shadows trembled slightly, and the two of them transformed into a streak of azure light, carrying them into the sky and heading towards the Tianxia Academy.

Traveling by sword, the speed is more than ten times faster.

However, their actions caused quite a stir at Lihuo Peak.

"Isn't that Senior Sister Qingxue?"

"She...she was with a man..."

"Who is that person? They can actually fly on a sword..."

"......."

"Damn it! What has that brat done to deserve such closeness with my junior sister!"

"..."

Below, on the mountain path, in the pavilions and towers, many male disciples looked up and discussed among themselves, their gazes filled with surprise, doubt, and envy, all converging on the azure sword shadow in the sky.

Ye Feng could only shake his head inwardly at these words, while Su Qingxue's expression grew even colder, tinged with a hint of embarrassment.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

For the past three days, Ye Feng has kept a low profile, spending most of his time meditating and cultivating in Tianxia Courtyard, occasionally flipping through the sect rules and records given by Elder Liu.

Su Qingxue lived in a side room on the other side. Although the two lived in the same courtyard, they hardly communicated at all, each cultivating their own cultivation, and lived in peace.

This morning.

After finishing his cultivation, Ye Feng hesitated for a moment before arriving at Su Qingxue's room and gently knocking on the door.

"What is it?"

The door remained closed, but Su Qingxue's cold voice came from inside.

"I would like to go to the Heavenly Sword Pavilion to choose a sword manual. Please lead the way, Miss Qingxue."

Ye Feng said solemnly that he was not familiar with Li Huo Peak, and having Su Qingxue lead the way would save him a lot of trouble.

A moment later, the door opened, and Su Qingxue, dressed in a silver-white dress, walked out. Just like a few days ago, she was incomparably beautiful and charming.

"Let's go."

This time, the two did not fly on their swords again. The last time caused quite a stir, and Ye Feng did not want to be the focus of everyone's attention again, even if that feeling was very good.

Although I walk slowly, I don't need to show off.

The two walked for about half an hour and arrived at a magnificent nine-story pavilion.

The pavilion is entirely dark gold, its material unknown, giving it a sense of weight and sharpness. Above the door are the three large characters "Heavenly Sword Pavilion," their sword-like energy soaring to the sky, inspiring awe in those who behold it.

"This is where sword manuals and sword techniques are stored. The disciples of Li Huo Peak mainly operate on the first to third floors, corresponding to different levels of access."

"You are a true disciple, you may enter the fourth level."

Su Qingxue glanced at Ye Feng and gave him a brief introduction.

Bringing this person here to familiarize them with the sect was a task assigned by her father, and if we also consider that relationship, it was something she should and should do.

"Um…"

Ye Feng nodded and stepped into the first floor of the pavilion without hesitation, with Su Qingxue following closely behind.

The attic was very spacious, with rows of tall jade shelves neatly arranged, displaying countless jade slips of various colors, each emitting varying degrees of sword energy fluctuations.

Many disciples were moving among the jade shelves, choosing the sword techniques that suited them best.

A middle-aged man on duty sat behind a table at the entrance, resting with his eyes closed.

Sensing someone enter, he opened his eyes and smiled when he saw Su Qingxue: "Little Xue, what are you planning to choose today?"

"Fifth Uncle, I'm not choosing this time; I'm bringing people here to select sword techniques."
