Elder Dan said, "Little Song, what do you think?"
Song Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Senior Sister is right, to hear the Tao at dawn, one can die at sunset. Since the heavens have granted me such talent, then... I don’t want to have lived in vain. Regardless of what the future holds..."
Facing Elder Dan, he bowed deeply and said, "Elder, I want to learn swordsmanship."
Elder Dan stroked his wild beard and nodded, saying, "This is the true sword cultivator.
In that case, I keep my word, saying I will find six mentors for you, then it shall be six. If you don’t give up, neither will I."
Immediately, he turned around and laughed heartily, saying, "Even if you were to die tomorrow, seek the Way today, Song Yan, do not let me down."
...
...
A month later...
Pole Sword Platform.
Ning Yunmiao and Song Yan stood quietly in front of the platform.
Today was the day when the sect had arranged Song Yan’s first mentor.
Elder Dan felt that since the first path Song Yan lit up was the "Hungry Ghost Dao," the first mentor should also be a sword cultivator with a "Hungry Ghost Dao" talisman character in the sect.
While waiting, the air suddenly turned cold.
Song Yan turned his head, only to see a tall, thin man with skeletal features, bluish-gray skin, and a sunken abdomen approaching with a long sword.
Ning Yunmiao suddenly frowned and said, "How could Elder Dan arrange for him to be your mentor?"
The tall, thin man seemed to have heard her words. He snorted coldly, then looked at Song Yan and said, "Kid, and you?"
Song Yan saluted and said, "I wish to train under the teacher."
The tall, thin man fixed his gaze on Ning Yunmiao and said in a deep voice, "Alright, Fellow Daoist Yunmiao, I know this kid is from your Ning Family, I won’t snatch him, moreover... with him like this, who would want to snatch him?"
Ning Yunmiao put on a protective stance like a mother leopard and said, "Wang Youquan, my understanding of you is limited to you swallowing fellow disciples, I don’t even know why you haven’t atoned for it, instead, you are able to come out of that Imprisonment Palace."
The master known as Wang Youquan paused, but did not respond, instead, he came to the side of Song Yan and said, "Let’s go, follow me to the Pole Sword Platform."
Song Yan followed him.
The two stepped from the "Taiyin Sword Platform" onward, continuing forward to the Chain Bridge at the boundary of Taiyin and Taiyang.
