Autumn on the Sword Qi Great Wall was a rather somber affair, with all of the trees and plants losing their vibrant, green plumages.0

Meanwhile, it was spring in the Majestic World, and everything was teeming with new life.2

It was the Jingzhe solar term, and all of a sudden, the mood of the gods seemed to have taken a turn for the worse. Dark clouds quickly gathered over the clear and sunny skies above Downtrodden Mountain, following which a torrential downpour arrived.0

Three girls were sitting together in the walkway on the second floor of the bamboo building, looking out at the rain.0

There was a bright, green hiking pole on Zhou Mili's left, and a gold shoulder pole on her right. As the official right-hand guardian of the Downtrodden Mountain ancestral hall, Zhou Mili had secretly given the hiking pole and the shoulder pole the unofficial titles of the junior right-hand guardian and the junior left-hand guardian. However, she didn't dare to reveal this to Pei Qian. Pei Qian was really annoying and pedantic when it came to rules, and there were many occasions when Zhou Mili wanted to stop being friends with her.0

However, whenever they had a falling-out, Zhou Mili would immediately begin counting numbers off on her fingers, waiting for Pei Qian to come and play with her.0

Chen Nuanshu was a little concerned. Not long ago, Chen Lingjun seemed to have made up his mind that he would immediately travel to the Northern Complete Reed Continent to embark on his river journey as soon as he reached the Golden Core Tier.0

Pei Qian lay on her back, her arms folded over one another beneath her head, serving as a pillow. She had one leg crossed over the other, and recently, she had also been feeling rather vexed. Training martial arts with Zhu Lian was a very underwhelming experience, and on one occasion, she flew into a rage, yelling at him in a furious voice before knocking him unconscious with a stomp to the head. 2

After the event, she felt very guilty, but she didn't want to apologize to him. While her reaction had been a little excessive, the fact of the matter was that Zhu Lian had been at fault first. He should've beaten her to a pulp in their sparring matches, just like Cui Cheng did. It wasn't like he was actually going to kill her. She was on the receiving end of the punishment, yet even she wasn't afraid, so she had no idea what Zhu Lian was afraid of.1

What's the point in these sparring...0
