Chapter 53: 053 Anger out of shame

Translator: 549690339

The night was murky, but neither Gu Yang nor Xu Ruomei noticed that on the roof, a pair of eyes had been watching them all along.

Only when Gu Yang had left for Qingxuan Sect did the figure descend to the yard, standing in front of the window, he glanced at Xu Ruomei inside the room, stroking his chin with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

This man was the sword slave by Xu Ruomei’s side, and also her guardian in the ways of the Dao.

Even back at the Lin Family’s residence, he had arrived when Gu Yang saved Xu Ruomei, but he had not revealed his presence.

He had followed them all the way here, hearing all their conversations, without showing any hint of appearing to the rescue.

Neither Gu Yang nor Xu Ruomei had noticed his presence.

The art that he used to conceal his presence was the secret art of the Sword Palace, the Hidden Sword Art, to prevent his discovery by others.

The old man was a guardian, not a nanny.

Only when Xu Ruomei’s life was threatened would he take action.

Whether Xu Ruomei’s Daoist heart was broken by Gu Yang’s sword, or when she was captured by Lin Zisheng’s men and eventually saved by Gu Yang, she was not in mortal danger.

Therefore, he did not intervene.

Xu Ruomei was cultivating a sword technique from among the five great sword scriptures of the Sword Palace, the most special one, the “Dust Sword

Technique”.

This sword technique had not been mastered by anyone for a long time. The last person to have mastered this technique was five hundred years ago, and it was close to being lost to the world.

This sword technique requires one to first experience the trials and vicissitudes of the human world and then sever one’s ties with it with a stroke of the sword, forgetting about the world, thereby entering the realm of divine power.

There are very few people who chose this sword technique among the successors of the Sword Palace, because it is too difficult to detach oneself from the world completely.

Forgetting the world, not only requires one to forget love but also resentment. Since ancient times, how many people could achieve this?

Until Xu Ruomei appeared, she was included in the beauty list, evaluated as a solitary orchid in an empty valley.

This is a special physique, not only having excellent qualifications, but also possessing a tranquil state of mind, treating everything indifferently, without lingering thoughts.

It is said that in ancient times, this is a natural Daoist seed.

Such a physique and state of mind are naturally the best choice for cultivating the “Dust Sword Technique”.

In the beginning, Xu Ruomei indeed made rapid progress, but when she reached the Fourth Rank, she could no longer make a breakthrough. The reason was that her temperament was too cold, and after she left the mountain to travel, she could not integrate into this mundane world.

Now, her Daoist heart was broken, and her cultivation was blocked by the Sealing Bracelet, and she encountered a man who wasn’t afraid of the Sword Palace and was not bewitched by her beauty.

Having lost all reliance, she was helplessly weak, unprecedentedly so, and in such a predicament, her state of mind was bound to change.

It is very likely that this will be her opportunity to engage with the world.

Therefore, the old man not only did not intend to stop her, he even looked forward to its success.

The Sword Palace has been waiting for the mastery of the “Dust Sword Technique” for too long.

The next day, Zhang Xiao Hai got up only to find out that there was one more person in the house, and he couldn’t help but be stunned.

Gu Yang explained, “Her name is Miss Lan, and she needs to stay here for a while.’

In order to avoid attracting attention, he used a pseudonym.

It would be troublesome if Lin Zisheng knew that Xu Ruomei was saved by him.

Zhang Xiao Hai immediately understood, saying, “She is the new maid that young master has collected, right?”

He knew of the young master’s habits. The maids he collected were all stunning beauties. This girl Lan, surely, must be as beautiful as a celestial being.

“…Not this time,” Gu Yang replied.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiao Hai became even more serious about this girl

Lan, “Then she must be the future mistress.”
