One minute later.
A sharp sword light cleaved through the sky, swiftly landing before Jiang Yuan.
The sword light faded, revealing Shu Xiaoxiao's stunning face, and her joyous expression.
"Young Master!" Shu Xiaoxiao said gently.
Jiang Yuan grinned, stepping forward to fondly tousle her hair.
"I'm back!"
"Mhm! Mhm!" Shu Xiaoxiao responded with a radiant, enchanting smile.
At that moment, her smile dazzled all, unequaled by anyone.
There was a flash of white light in Jiang Yuan's hand.
"Xiaoxiao, I got this for you!"
"Young Master, what is this?" Shu Xiaoxiao looked puzzled.
Jiang Yuan unwrapped the covering to reveal a Bu Yao tucked inside.
This Bu Yao was a small, glassy sword about four inches long, adorned with a tassel at the end.
Used as a hairpiece, it would sway slightly as one walked, thus earning its name 'Bu Yao' which means the walker's sway.
Upon seeing the Bu Yao from the wrap, Shu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, looking up at Jiang Yuan.
"Young Master!"
