The Sword and Her Master

They then went back to the inn after the auction ended. Zhi Li escorted them just to make sure nothing happens. They also wore masks before going out of the auction.

"Those that are following us, go back or I'll force you!" Zhi Li shouted while spreading his aura. He also made sure that it would not affect the two girls.

Most of those that followed them decided that it was not worth it. They were just there to know their identities. Still, a couple 'brave' men did not heed the warning.

"I see… so you want to do it the hard way!"

In an instant, the principal already sent spells towards these people. They were weak as he was just probing their strength as well as telling them that he was willing to fight.

All of remaining people were startled when they were suddenly hit by an attack. They were hidden yet they were still hit. Some retreated again but there were people who were intending to attack. It was just they all suddenly disappeared.

"Tsk, we did not even have that much valuables on us. It's annoying to deal with this guys."

After dealing with those people, a talisman of Zhi Li shined and vibrated. It was a communication talisman. He listened for a while and then looked at Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, there is something I forgot to tell you. When do you want to deal with the things we found. They are currently stored and are ready to be received properly."

"Tomorrow, I still need to spend the night with Mu Yue."

Mu Yue wondered what they were talking about but Xiao Yan just said it was a secret. Although Mu Yue was rather sad that Xiao Yan still hid things to her, she did not pester her about it as Xiao Yan will always tell her when the time is right.

Back at their room, Mu Yue and Xiao Yan was facing each other. It was already night time but Xiao Yan wanted to look at the sword.

Mu Yue then asked, "Before I show it to you, do you know a Sword wielder True Celestial that has the name of Tian Min? She was my master."

"I think I heard about that name but I don't know why or where."

"Oh… Well here is the sword."

Yin Xue then appeared at her hand. Xiao Yan was shocked when she saw it.

"The sword can be put on your consciousness? Impressive!"

The reason why she knows the sword came from Mu Yue's consciousness is that taking something from a storage ring will not make the item appear at your hand. It will form an opening, and you still have to manually get the item from it. A reason why cultivators made sure to have the items that they will use in combat already out the storage ring. Using a storage ring just consumes too much time.

"The sword's name is Yin Xue. A tier 9 sword that was given to me by my master."

Mu Yue also unsheathed the sword.

"Yin Xue? Now I remembered why the name Tian Ming was familiar to me. She was known as 'The Lady in White'. She was one of the strongest female cultivators and that sword was with her when she became popular. She earned this as her battle technique was graceful, also she always wear white. Even that sword almost have a white color." Xiao Yan said.

"Then that would make the sword recognizable if seen by the others, right?"

"No, the sword's appearance was not known. There are always swords that have similar looks to it and without the name 'Yin Xue', no one will link it to your master. You just have to make sure that when retrieving it, hide first and do not let them know that it's an item that can be placed in the consciousness."

"Are the items that can be placed in the consciousness, valuable?"

"Yes, they have thrice the worth. They are also stronger than regular tier 9 swords. They will also never be stolen unless the owner died… Which would make them hunt you down if people knows you own one."

Mu Yue then asked, "You wouldn't put me in danger by spreading that I own one, would you?"

Xiao Yan grinned, "Then you must bribe me well…"
