Chapter 131: Chapter 99: Angered Jiang_2

Because he had previously gained some understanding of the life-bound sword from Mr. Yan, Jiang Shouzhong silently speculated.

The tiny sword, slender as a young finger and pale pink in color, circled around the woman as it flew, light as a butterfly flitting and dancing gracefully, with a soft buzzing sound that clearly conveyed a closeness to its owner.

Ran Qingchen looked toward the sword manual on the desk.

The flying sword seemed to understand the thoughts of its master, and suddenly transformed into tiny pale pink light spots that sprinkled onto the sword manual.

The sword manual instantly overflowed with brilliant colors, exuding strands of divine charm.

The characters in the sword manual began to detach themselves from the pages, as if attracted by an invisible force, slowly rising and turning into lively light spots, floating like fireflies.

Jiang Shouzhong opened his mouth wide.

No wonder it was a top-level secret manual from the fifth floor; its quality was simply outstanding.

The light spots congregated and rotated in the air, eventually splitting into two figures, clearly a man and a woman. They revealed the complex meridians of human bodies, the points of acupuncture, and the pathways of qi circulation.

Both figures demonstrated sword moves.

At first, each of them practiced alone; the man’s swordplay was forceful, the woman’s graceful.

Then, their swords danced together. The moves they had just practiced separately began to merge spontaneously, harmoniously combining yin and yang, forming a union as if heaven and earth were one. Sometimes interlocking, sometimes side by side.

The dance of their swords flowed like a painting, elegantly without loss.

Though it appeared graceful, each move of the sword carried a tremendous force, as if it could shake mountains and rivers.

Jiang Shouzhong watched intently. Oddly enough, though there were two people practicing in the illusion, he could only remember the moves and the method of circulating qi from the male Sword Cultivator. Even with the enhancement of the Taoist River Map, he found it difficult to fully grasp the dual figures.

As he became more proficient with the swordsmanship, the illusion gradually disappeared.

The sword manual returned to its original state.

Jiang Shouzhong’s shock lingered for a long time. He carefully recalled the sword techniques in his mind and couldn’t help but smile. But the next moment, he suddenly realized a serious problem.

Wait, this sword technique...

Is it practiced by two people?

Jiang Shouzhong subconsciously turned his head to ask Ran Qingchen. However, because he had been too engrossed in watching and had unintentionally moved too close to her, and because he was standing, his gaze inadvertently fell into the slightly open collar of the woman’s garment, and immediately, a vision of snowy white filled his eyes.

Even the pure white undershirt could not compare to the snowy whiteness of the young woman’s skin.

What surprised Jiang Shouzhong was that, although his wife usually didn’t show it, she seemed more majestic than their elder sister Chun Yu.

Fortunately, Jiang Shouzhong only lost focus for a brief moment before quickly recovering, stepping back and averting his gaze.

Seeing Ran Qingchen, who hadn’t noticed his odd behavior, still lost in thought, Jiang Shouzhong breathed a sigh of relief, cleared his throat subtly, and tentatively asked, "Qingchen, this sword manual... it doesn’t require two people to practice it, does it?"

Ran Qingchen, who also only remembered the female Sword Cultivator’s moves, did not respond, but instead gently stroked the sword manual as if searching for a warmth and affection that had never been there. Waves seemed to ripple across the lake of her heart, trying to recall some vague memories.

After a while, Ran Qingchen said softly, "It can be practiced alone."

Joy rose in Jiang Shouzhong’s heart.

Ran Qingchen continued, "But to unleash the greatest power of this sword technique, it must be performed in partnership by two people."

Jiang Shouzhong’s face twitched twice as he muttered quietly, "Were the creators of this sword technique ill? It’s named Unparalleled, yet it requires a pair to practice. Wouldn’t it be better named the Paired Flying Wings Sword Technique?"

"Its previous name was, in fact, the Paired Flying Wings Sword Technique."

Ran Qingchen’s tone was melancholic.

In her very vague memory, that graceful woman held her in her arms, looking at a pair of birds on the tree and saying, "Little Qingchen, do you know? Your mother once created the most powerful sword technique in the world, called the Paired Flying Wings..."

She could no longer remember the rest of the words, or perhaps even these memories were just pieced together in dreams.

"How do you know that?"

Jiang Shouzhong sensed that her mood was a bit strange.

Ran Qingchen sadly caressed the sword manual, "The person who wrote this sword manual is my mother, her name is Jiang Wan."

???

Jiang Shouzhong’s gaze became vacant, his facial expression solidifying into an incredulous shock.

The sword manual of the mother-in-law!?

After repeatedly confirming she wasn’t joking, Jiang Shouzhong took a deep breath and exclaimed, "So it was Master Jiang Wan who created this sword manual, no wonder I felt since the first moment I saw it that this sword technique was exquisitely unmatched. Each move and each form contain the great way of heaven and earth, beyond the reach of common dust. What’s more remarkable is that the sword manual written by Master Jiang requires two people to practice together to display its might, truly a masterful creation, admirable..."

Ran Qingchen’s gaze flickered between amusement and annoyance, "You were just calling my mother crazy, weren’t you?"

Jiang Shouzhong began to play dumb, "Did I? You must have heard wrong. I was saying this sword technique is as if crafted by divine hands, with a natural charm. Not only is it uniquely exquisite, but it’s also naturally beautiful, indescribable..."

Ran Qingchen was both amused and annoyed, "I never thought that someone who appears so serious usually could be so cunning. Since you like to flatter my mother so much, why don’t you go to the underworld and pay your respects directly?"

Jiang Shouzhong gave an awkward laugh, "That won’t be necessary."

The man wanted to ask why your mother’s sword manual ended up at the Silver Moon Tower instead of being left for you, but seeing the subtle sorrow in his wife’s eyes, he held back his curiosity.

Don’t ask about gossip that shouldn’t be asked.

Jiang Shouzhong felt quite helpless.

If he had known, he wouldn’t have chosen this sword technique; now asking him to find a female Sword Cultivator to practice with was not a joke. If Ye were here, however, he could have practiced with her.
