Seeing Mu Qingyan's reaction, Sun Zhe was momentarily stunned and asked, "Qingyan, what's wrong?"
Mu Qingyan remained silent, simply shaking her head gently.
At this moment, certain bold guesses had already formed in her mind, like a tangled mess stuffed within her heart.
The "Bladeless Mountain-Suppressing Sword" in Sun Zhe's hands was originally hers, left unused in the Guardian Palace for years, until recently when she asked Xia Shiqing to pass the sword to her yet-unmet disciple...
Of course, Sun Zhe was unaware of what Mu Qingyan was thinking, nor did he know that he already had a master-disciple relationship with his Dao companion.
His face was full of confidence, eager to show off in front of the goddess.
"Qingyan, step back and watch me break this barrier."
"Mm..."
Mu Qingyan quietly stepped aside, her gaze fixed on Sun Zhe's back, her heart filled with extreme complexity.
It was only then that she realized why the name "Sun Zhe" sounded so familiar earlier.
