Mid-April.
The weather on Nanlin Road was gradually warming. In Wang Ping's small courtyard, the flower clusters began to bloom. This was Yu Lian's favorite time of year. Every morning, she would sneak a few blossoms to eat, and then have a cup of honey water while waiting for breakfast.
Today, just after breakfast, Liu Shuang arrived seeking an audience, bringing her two disciples and Wang Ping's nominal disciple, Su Hai.
Zhao Yu'Er and Liu Ling had grown into graceful young women. Today, they wore dark blue, form-fitting Daoist Robes designed for ease of movement and carried unsharpened longswords. Su Hai was dressed the same.
It was the day of the Inner Sect competition. The third and fourth-generation disciples would all participate, divided into two groups according to their cultivation realms.
Liu Shuang also had to compete in two matches, though likely few in the Inner Sect were her match anymore. This was mainly because her foundational advantages were significant.
