Chapter 149: Falling Leaves, Bamboo Flute, Sword Dance

"The Sixth Era, March 1, 1259..."

Tilan leaned over the table to write this line, then gently gathered her long, silky hair in front of her and stood up.

Outside the window, the courtyard was lush and green. This was an estate outside Qianliu City. Stepping out of the courtyard, one could see the undulating green fields stretching endlessly. The land was covered with freshly sprouted green shoots, and not far away lay the white city buildings, neat and clean.

This estate belonged to Qinglian Academy, now a high school within Qianliu City, where many local young people studied. The estate served as both the academy's archive and meditation hall, housing the legacy swords of the Qinglian Sword Palace, as well as many cultural relics and ancient books.

Cultivation sometimes required a quiet environment; here, away from the city, the scenery was pleasant, and the surrounding open fields were suitable for sword practice and exercise. Thus, Qinglian Academy built this estate.
