<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Li Lingxi stepped forward without hesitation and grabbed Su Jingzhen's right hand.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She channeled her energy into his body, not caring whether it was an invasion of privacy. At this moment, her curiosity was all that mattered.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Zhang Xiu and Lin Ying also glanced at Su Jingzhen.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Both of them had a look of surprise in their eyes.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"He's really reached the second stage of the Profound Saint realm!
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Kid, how on earth did you manage this?
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This is a whole great realm!"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After the initial shock, Li Lingxi raised an eyebrow. "Good heavens, you've even opened seventeen Secret Repositories in your body!
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen smiled faintly. "Deep in the Sword Land, there's a mystical place called the Icy Sword Pool.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">I was lucky enough to open some Secret Repositories there. It was just luck, really.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Sect master, there's no need to dwell on it."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">When he came here, Su Jingzhen knew that his cultivation level would inevitably cause a stir among Li Lingxi and the others.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Now, there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, lines of golden text began to appear before him.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, both Zhang Xiu and Li Lingxi provided Su Jingzhen with a triple emotional boost.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Another 300 plus points were added to his account.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After the initial shock, knowing that Su Jingzhen possessed the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Zhang Xiu could somewhat understand his rapid progress.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, Li Lingxi still looked as if she had seen a ghost.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After a while, she finally nodded and said, "Alright, considering all the miracles you've accomplished before, I truly believe in the existence of a 'Child of Fortune'.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">I'm completely at ease with you now. Even if there are some petty individuals who want to harm you, I doubt they'll succeed."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As she spoke, her tone was filled with emotion.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Then she turned to Zhang Xiu and Lin Ying, and nodded.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Both of you, please make sure to visit the Divine Dan Sect when the time is right. I'll introduce you to a good sister of mine.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It's time for me to leave now.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Please take good care of this brat for me."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Zhang Xiu and Lin Ying stood up, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Lingxi didn't hesitate. With a single step, she vanished.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing Li Lingxi leave so decisively, Su Jingzhen was stunned for a moment.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">A hint of disappointment flashed across his face, not because he was reluctant to part with Li Lingxi or anything like that.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It was just that they hadn't seen each other for many days, and after his recent breakthrough, he had hoped to earn a significant amount of emotional points from her.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Unexpectedly, he only managed to get a triple boost, earning less than a hundred points before she left.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Now, the only people around Su Jingzhen who could generate emotional connections with him were Bai Suzhen and Zhang Xiu.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Bai Suzhen was still in the process of fully merging with the Immortal Heavenly Serpent, so it would be a while before she could provide him with any points.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As for Zhang Xiu, her current status was too special, and it was unlikely that she would spend every day by his side.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Thus, for the time being, his point accumulation would have to rely on the daily fixed points.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Setting aside these thoughts, Su Jingzhen turned his attention to Lin Ying and Zhang Xiu.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Xiu Xiu, what exactly is your status in Sword Land now? What did you discuss with the Sword Master?"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Both the title of Shadow Sword Immortal and Sword Ancestor held significant weight in the Sword Land.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Zhang Xiu smiled at his question. "He discussed it with us. Originally, he wanted to announce our return to the world, but we decided against it.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Our strength hasn't fully recovered yet, and staying hidden might yield better results.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">So for now, I'm just an ordinary core disciple of the Sword Land, Zhang Xiu, and Little Ying remains one of the Ten Holy Maidens."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen could understand Zhang Xiu's reasoning.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It was in line with what he had expected.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After all, she had never been one to seek the limelight.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"What about Yao'er?"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"After inheriting the memories of the Sword Ancestor and Saintess Qing Yue, I learned that there are some places in the Sword Land that are particularly suitable for Yao'er, so I arranged for her to go into seclusion.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">When she emerges, she might just give you a pleasant surprise.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">By then, she'll likely be ready to take over the position that Saintess Qing Yue once held in the Sword Land."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But when he thought about Ning Yao's current status and her innate talent, he quickly understood.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As for the Profound Mystery Dao Sect, which she had originally joined, they probably wouldn't dare to come and try to reclaim her.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Before he could say anything more, Zhang Xiu continued, "As for everything about us, you don't need to worry, Mr. Su.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The most important thing right now is for you to focus on your cultivation and steadily improve your realm."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Some things that the Sword Master could foresee, Zhang Xiu, who had perfectly inherited the Sword Ancestor's legacy, could naturally foresee as well.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Having personally entered the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, her expectations for Su Jingzhen were beyond compare.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After finishing her words, without waiting for Su Jingzhen to respond, Zhang Xiu gave a strange smile.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Alright, Little Ying has something she wants to discuss with you privately."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Without giving Su Jingzhen a chance to speak, Zhang Xiu took a step and disappeared from the courtyard.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Now, Su Jingzhen turned his gaze to Lin Ying, only to find that she seemed somewhat evasive.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In fact, when they first arrived at the pavilion, Su Jingzhen had noticed that Lin Ying seemed a bit off.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Should I call you Miss Lin, or should I address you as Shadow Sword Immortal?"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen smiled as he looked at her.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"The Shadow Sword Immortal is a thing of the past. I prefer you to call me Lin Ying now."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After saying this, a gentle energy emanated from her body, enveloping Su Jingzhen and instantly transporting him into a room.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">A formation had already been activated, preventing anyone outside from sensing what was happening inside.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing this, Su Jingzhen's expression changed slightly. He didn't understand what Lin Ying was doing.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Miss Lin, what are you doing? If you have a secret to share, there's no need for all this, right?"
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen still hadn't grasped the seriousness of the situation and asked casually.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But Lin Ying's expression became even more unnatural.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even her usually cold face had a faint blush now.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Miss Lin, why are you..."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Before Su Jingzhen could finish his sentence, his words were abruptly cut off.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying's black gauze dress slid off her body, revealing a flawless, snow-white figure.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen was completely stunned.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Miss Lin... you... what are you..."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen instinctively stepped back.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But Lin Ying suddenly became bold.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Her eyes locked onto his, filled with determination.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"In my past life, I always followed the Sword Ancestor and I was her most loyal subordinate. In this life, it's the same.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">I know about her relationship with you, and I know that she has already given herself to you.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">So of course I have to do the same.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Besides, in this life, you've already left your mark on my consciousness."
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As she spoke, Lin Ying walked over to the bed and lay down calmly.
<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Come..."
