"What is 'Devouring Heaven'?"
Mo Li's gaze slowly retracted, converging to a single point deep within her eyes. She sheathed her longsword, turned away from Xiao Ruoching, and said indifferently, "The Sword Maiden has returned."
Xiao Ruoching looked into the distance. Her features softened, a smile blooming on her face and unfolding layer by layer as she watched the Sword Maiden wave a greeting. She, too, sheathed her longsword.
Taking a deep breath, her long eyelashes trembling, accompanied by the CLANG of the longsword entering its scabbard, she said gently, "Li Zijun is missing."
"..."
Mo Li's shoulders shook for a moment before gradually becoming calm again.
The Sword Maiden's eyes blinked, and she looked at Mo Li and Xiao Ruoching with a gentle vulnerability, halting her steps.
Seeing the two with their backs to her, she seemed to make a decision and walked over to them.
