Yun Shu hurriedly stood up and bowed to that woman. “Maybe… I was lucky…”

Of course, the woman wouldn’t believe such an answer, but she didn’t continue on the topic.

To leave the valley, he had to solve one of the three mysteries. Yesterday, Yun Shu could only have a connection with the stele in the middle, and that was why he decided to start with this one today as well.

The woman also turned to look at the stele, but she could not help peeking at Yun Shu. She hoped to know why Yun Shu was progressing so rapidly. After a while, she still had no clue at all.

When she was about to give up, she suddenly noticed that Yun Shu’s eyes had two beams of golden light coming out.

“Golden pupils?” the woman murmured in surprise.

Yun Shu had no idea about the change happening to his eyes, entirely focused on the stone stele. His eyes had caught something.

The messy strokes had turned into countless streaks of sword Qi crisscrossing each other as they kept colliding randomly.

Yun Shu was very sensitive to any messy Qi moving around in the cosmos. Therefore, his eyes had discerned some patterns. They were extraordinarily complex yet incomparably wonderful. Yun Shu raised his arms and started copying the movements.

That woman was thoroughly shocked. She had spent quite some time on the stele, so she more or less had some understanding of it. She knew that Yun Shu was not just moving his arms randomly. Instead, his movements were strictly following some intricate sword intent.

The woman believed that she was pretty gifted. Yet, she had spent three years sitting in front of the stele before she realized what was on it. But Yun Shu just sat down beside her a couple of hours ago!

After a while, Yun Shu started feeling slightly exhausted. So he stopped staring at the stele to take a breather. His pupils also returned back to normal after he removed his eyes from the stele. Meanwhile, Yun Shu noticed the woman gazing at him.

“Master, what did I do?” Yun Shu asked politely.

The women frowned. “Who are you? Why do you have golden pupils?”

Yun Shu was confused, but he still answered, “My father is Yun Wanli, and he’s my foster dad. He found me on the backside of the mountain. I don’t know who my parents are. And ‘golden pupils’? I don’t know what they are.”

That woman found the name, Yun Wanli, a bit familiar, but she couldn’t recall anything related to it.

She then asked Yun Shu, “You don’t know what golden pupils are?”

Yun Shu shook his head.

The woman took a deep breath and said, “That’s very strange. You didn’t sense any differences when you were staring at the stele?”

Yun Shu remained honest. “There were indeed some differences…”

That woman put on a wry smile. “Your pupils turned golden when you were reading the stele, just like the book said!”

2“What can I do with golden pupils then?” Yun Shu followed hurriedly.

The women thought for a while and then said, “The book only mentioned it roughly, so I’m not sure. If you want to know, why don’t you use it again?”

Yun Shu nodded, although he was not sure what he should do. He tried to recall the feeling when he was totally focused on that stele, closed his eyes, and then fiercely opened them!

His pupils turned golden again!

But this time, he saw something different.

“Master, you have really nice curves!” Yun Shu praised sincerely.

1Crack!

The woman picked up her sword and brought the tip upward. Her sword Qi directly threw Yun Shu away.
