Yue Shifang left, but Xue An did not leave; instead, he stood quietly at the same spot, as if waiting for something.
Moments later, accompanied by a flash of radiant light, Shen Muyu appeared before Xue An.
Xue An seemed to have anticipated his arrival, merely smiling faintly, "You’re here!"
Shen Muyu did not respond, only cast a deep glance at Xue An.
"You knew I would come?"
Xue An nodded slightly, "Yes, if you didn’t come, you wouldn’t deserve to be recognized as a genius by the Shen Family in thousands of years!"
With that, Xue An slightly narrowed his eyes, "You have gained a complex yet incredibly pure Sword Dao aura, is this the legacy handed down through generations of your Shen Family?"
Of course, Shen Muyu knew that Xue An wouldn’t be unaware of the family head’s legacy, thus he nodded promptly.
"Yes, I am now the new family head of the Shen Family!"
Xue An smiled, "Congratulations, congratulations, but even if you have now acquired the Shen Family legacy, it will take an extremely long time to absorb and comprehend such a complex aura, so you are still no match for me now."
Shen Muyu shook his head, "You’re mistaken, I didn’t come here to avenge that sword fight at the Bai Family Convention, I simply wanted to tell you something!"
"Oh? What is it?"
"Our Shen Family... is not cowardly! The events of that time forced us to make the most difficult choice under dire circumstances, for which our Shen Family paid a tremendously heavy price; all the high-ranking members of the Shen Family died in battle at that time!"
Xue An’s face also turned serious, "Please share in detail!"
Thus, Shen Muyu recounted verbatim what Du Jingsheng had told him.
After listening, Xue An also remained silent for a long time.
To be honest, prior to this, he indeed had many criticisms about the Shen Family’s actions, considering them a disgrace to the prestige of sword cultivators.
But through Shen Muyu’s narration, he realized there were so many hidden truths unknown to him.
As a result, Xue An couldn’t help but sigh, "It seems like everyone paid a painful price during that calamity back then, so now I really want to know what kind of hand was orchestrating all this behind the scenes, and what were its motives and interests!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Muyu’s eyes also sparkled.
Once, he was still a beloved prodigy admired by thousands, but within just a few days, he experienced defeat by a single sword and the fall of the family head along with many other events.
At this moment, although his strength had not improved much, his Heart Realm had matured significantly.
At this point, Xue An lowered his head, looking at Shen Muyu with piercing eyes.
"Friend Shen, I have a request for you!"
Shen Muyu did not hesitate, nodded in agreement, "Please speak!"
"I must leave this place for a period of time. Although this isn’t my homeland, the matter is significant and cannot be neglected. Since relying solely on Yue Shifang worries me that he might not be able to handle it alone, I hope you can sincerely cooperate with Yue Shifang during this time to guard against another invasion by evil entities!"
Shen Muyu smiled, "Even if you hadn’t asked, I would have done this! After all, while Sky Beyond the Skies is not your homeland, it is mine, and what’s more, the hatred with the evil entities is no less than yours!"
Towards the end, icy flames flickered in Shen Muyu’s eyes, formed from the condensation of lethal Sword Intent.
Xue An nodded, and suddenly, with a swift hand movement, a peculiar long sword appeared in his hand.
"Lian Tian Qing?" Shen Muyu was taken aback.
Xue An laughed, "Yes."
