What Ayan said about being the best in the world refers specifically to the profession of swordsman, not that he is the best in martial arts.
In this world where swords are the most important thing, the best swordsman in the world is undoubtedly special.
Theoretically speaking, there are many people in the world who are equal to Ge Nie, such as the best swordsman in the world, the best gunman in the world, or the whip, mace, hammer, stick, kidnapper, meteor, etc., there are countless others.
.
But in the world of the Qin Dynasty, weapons like swords had an inexplicable noble meaning. Swordsmen were one type of warriors, and people who used any other weapons were another type.
There have always been many masters in Nongjia Liutang, and any one of them can be said to be a well-known figure in the world. However, only a handful of them who use swords are really regarded as prominent figures by others - the weapon patterns of Nongjia are
The one with the most, after all, has the most people.
The Mohist family is most famous for its mechanism skills, but the most popular ones are the two great swordsmen Xue Nu Gao Jianli. The most important form of the supreme weapon is the sword form. Even the leader’s token is a sword—it’s just a sexual sword, which is special.
Diandian.
Taoist magic is powerful, and the masters of all generations are good at internal cultivation, but they still all have good swordsmanship - their leader's token is also a sword, and of course it is not very typical.
Among the major mainstream sects, only the Yin Yang family has little to do with swords, but Xinghun likes to show off his 'sword skills' to others.
The special nature of the sword gives Gai Nie, the world's best swordsman, the title of "Sword Master", a dreamy look.
As a swordsman, even though Ayan has been shrouded in the aura of Gu Xun, a cheap dad, for almost his entire life, he still has some vague expectations and curiosity about Gai Nie.
Of course, this is not the first time Ayan has met Gai Nie. Previously, as Que Xie, she had intercepted Gai Nie and his party who were escaping from the machine city.
That was her earliest experience of close and non-friendly contact with Ge Nie.
But that encounter didn't make her feel much like the Sword Master.
Gai Nie was offline or could be offline at any time during the whole process. He was either seriously injured or seriously poisoned, or he was using both methods. It can be described as a true portrayal of the residual blood being wasted everywhere.
Later, the Zongheng battle in the central hall of the machine city was exciting enough. Anyone lucky enough to watch it would be amazed, but it was a pity that she didn't watch.
When they met again, what she saw was Gai Nie who had changed into a wooden sword.
The feeling of Gai Nie using the wooden sword is very subtle and complex, but there is almost no strong sense of threat, and to a certain extent, it is even not as good as the earlier version with residual health.
In short, Gai Nie has changed less and less like the image of the sword master she imagined in her mind.
Hearing his daughter's evaluation of Gai Nie, Jing salamander nodded indifferently, "That's it..."
It can be seen that her reaction was very cold, and she could not imagine the specific situation based on Ayan's abstract description.
After all, she and Ge Nie are not acquaintances.
Jingli, who was born as a killer, has a temperament that is particularly tolerant of loneliness. She has been living in seclusion for more than ten years, and there is almost no communication with people like Gai Nie who also live in the palace and face no face. Moreover, she does not have the imagination of her daughter.
A reverie about the best swordsman in the world.
Almost everything she knew about Gai Nie came from Gu Xun's casual chats with her. Occasionally, if a certain topic had something to do with Gai Nie, Gu Xun might mention Gai Nie and comment on it.
Jingyu almost didn’t remember those comments. After all, Gai Nie was of no importance to her and was not worth the trouble.
But she remembers one thing quite clearly.
"Your father told me that Gai Nie is truly the best swordsman in the world. Even with this title, he can't compete with him."
"Why?" Ayan asked with a frown, as if chatting.
Frightened Salamander simply shook his head, "I don't know."
"I don't understand swords, I just know how to kill people with swords. I don't know anything about them."
Jing Salamander has always had a very clear self-awareness. She is just a killer. Maybe not now, but she is definitely not a swordsman.
She still didn't know why Gai Nie was the best swordsman in the world, and it was clear that he couldn't beat her own man, but if Gu Xun said so, then she believed it so much, and the reason didn't matter.
However, Jingyu also provided her daughter with practical and effective ideas for solving problems:
"If you really can't figure it out, just go back and ask your father yourself."
"..." After Ayan was silent for a while, he changed the subject and said, "Mirage has taken over, mother, it's time for us to take action."
"How is the investigation of the situation on the mirage going?"
"It has been confirmed that the two guardians of the Yin Yang family and the five elders are all on the boat, but not everyone will stay on the boat all the time."
"Meng Tian is still planning to further eliminate the anti-imperial forces around him, and the Yin and Yang family needs to provide some help."
Jingyu only paid attention to the first half of the sentence and didn't care about the rest. He murmured softly, "In this case...it seems that it is not a farce or a cover-up. The Yin Yang family is serious."
"There should be useful information for us."
Ayan had to remind him, "It's very difficult to sneak in!"
"Just wait for a suitable opportunity." Jing Salamander disapproved of this and made a calm judgment, "The sea city is so big, the Yin Yang family will easily fall into a shortage of manpower."
Ayan supports this statement.
She almost had the same idea. She just reminded her that she was just worried that her mother, who had been a full-time housewife for too long, had forgotten her old skills.
Nodding, she said bluntly, "After tonight, the situation in Songhai will inevitably deteriorate further, and it will probably be easier to find an opportunity to strike."
"Hmm..." Jing Salamander responded casually, and after thinking about it in his mind, he asked, "Have you found any clues about her?"
Ayan shook his head directly, "I didn't find any clues. I feel like she never appeared in Songhai City at all."
The ‘she’ the two of them refer to actually refers to Concubine Yan.

Although Yan Fei and Jing Salamander were both in hiding, they both expected that the other would definitely be in Songhai at this time.
Jing salamander asked Ayan to look for traces of Concubine Yan for further cooperation.
The two reached the most basic consensus on cooperation in Xianyang - the so-called most basic cooperation means not holding each other back.
Again, these women don't argue, and they hardly fight among themselves. There is no conflict, but don't expect them to get along harmoniously. If they don't fight, it will already give Gu Xun a lot of face.
I want to see scenes where they laugh and communicate, call each other sisters, and have harmonious emotions... It's not impossible, Gu Xun sometimes dreams about it.
In this case, if Jing Salamander wants to cooperate further, it is natural to find talents first.
Well...it's very troublesome.
The main reason is that the other party hid it really well. For such a long time, even if Ayan mobilized Luowang's intelligence network, he could not sift out any news that seemed to be related to her.
When he was thinking about the whereabouts of Yan Fei, Jing Sala followed the moonlight and unconsciously glanced in the direction of the sea - he saw nothing. All the scenery was blocked by the huge sea city that lay between Songhai City and the East China Sea.
Stayed.
The Jing Salamander looked at the mirage, stunned for a moment, and blinked thoughtfully, but in the end he couldn't come up with any clues.
"...Continue the search, and remember to pay close attention to the flow of people within the net."
"Okay."
………………
The morning light of dawn blew away the fog of the night, and the nascent sun slowly rose from the horizon, and every trace of its movement seemed so clear.
On the hilltop near the sea, three young people, Shao Yu and Shi Lan, are welcoming the new sun at dawn.
Shi Lan leaned against a tree. Under her thin bangs, her big dark eyes looked closely at the sun far away in the horizon.
She has seen the sunrise in Songhai City, it is beautiful.
I also watched the sunrise on Shushan Mountain, which was very special.
But neither of these can compare with the rising sun seen on the mountain today.
The sun standing proudly between the sea and the sky is like a wheel of light, reflecting the sky and shining on the sea. Looking at the calm waves, it makes people feel inexplicably full of vitality and majestic atmosphere.
Seeing this scene, Shi Lan's nervous heart relaxed a lot.
Shao Yu sat cross-legged on the grass near the mountain wall, resting one hand on his leg and stopping his chin, looking at the sun between the sky and the sea with blurred eyes, a pair of bright eyes faintly reflecting the gorgeous brilliance. p>
It was also the first time for him to see such a spectacular sunrise. Before...he had never paid attention to such things.
Whether he was the second generation of the army before the fall of Chu State, or he was in exile after the fall of Chu State.
Fortunately, their current position is not directly facing the mirage, but at a large angle. Otherwise, even if one is on the mountain, it would be difficult to see the sun that has just emerged and risen little by little.
Beside Shao Yu, Tianming was lying on the ground soundly asleep, with the Shengxie Sword firmly held in his arms, his head facing the east, and the bright yellow sunlight covering his body bit by bit.
Tsukuru and the three of them did not go down the mountain last night, but ran directly to the top of another mountain to stay.
Because of the person who appeared out of nowhere to kill them, the three of them spent a lot of energy and time was also delayed.
By the time the opponent was finally counterattacked by Shi Lan and the dust settled, it was already very late.
Shi Lan is easy to say, she has her own place to stay and there is nothing she needs to take into account.
It's different for Tianming and Shaoyu. It's inconvenient to go back too late. Just turning back to Little Shengxian Manor is a troublesome task. The door of Sansheng House is most likely closed, so you have to sneak in through the window first.
, don’t disturb those fellow disciples who are sleeping well.
In this case, going down the mountain and returning to the city is not a good choice. It is better to stay in the mountain for a night. The weather is not bad anyway, neither cold nor hot, and the probability of getting sick is relatively low.
In fact, a better solution, which is also the direction of story development under normal circumstances, is for Shi Lan to take them both back to his secret place to stay for one night.
It's a pity that Shi Lan obviously hasn't gotten to know Tianming Shaoyu to that extent yet, and is unwilling to reveal his secret location.
There’s nothing more to say, just stay there.
When the sun completely climbed into the sky, everything cleared up, and pedestrians began to appear on the dimly visible streets below the mountain, Shi Lan gently straightened his shoulders, lifted his back away from the tree trunk, stood up straight, and headed towards the edge of the cliff.
Shao Yu heard the noise, turned around and saw Shi Lan coming, then raised his hand and knocked Tian Ming on the head, who was still sleeping soundly.
"Ah!"
"Who hit me!?"
Completely unaware of the situation, Tianming, who was in pain, straightened his upper body with a sudden shudder, and scanned the space about 90 degrees in front of him with his eyes.
Because his back was to the sun and he was not facing the strong light, Tian Ming's eyes just squinted twice before he basically got used to the sudden sunlight.
But it's probably because although the person is awake, his head is still dazed, so his eyes are full of confusion.
"It's time to get up, you brat, the sun is beating down on you, and you're still sleeping!"
Shao Yu on the side patted his shoulder, and then stood up with the help of his own hands.
After getting up, he handed his hand to Tianming and said, "Get up and wake up."
"Get up? Um...is it dawn yet?" Tian Ming, who was slow to respond, covered his head with one hand and rubbed it subconsciously. He held Shao Yu in his other hand and stood up with his strength.<
/p>
It can be seen that the quality of his sleep last night was average. He obviously didn't rest well enough that he was still groggy even though he couldn't think clearly in his mind.
After calming down for a moment, Tianming immediately frowned and urged, "Let's go down the mountain as soon as daybreak comes. I want to go back and have a good rest."
"Okay, okay, let's go now." Seeing his uncomfortable look, Shao Yu responded with a smile.
At this time, Shi Lan was still looking at the huge mirage at the foot of the mountain and on the seaside, and had no intention of following it:
"You guys go first, I still have things to do."
"What's going on? Do you need help?" Tianming, who was still quick-talking even though he had a headache, asked bluntly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Shi Lan turned her back to the two of them and shook her head, "It's nothing, it's a personal matter and has nothing to do with you."
After Shaoyu hesitated for a moment, he confirmed again, "Don't you really need our help? Just ask if you need help. We can be considered friends now."
Shi Lan still shook her head, "No need."
Shaoyu was not disappointed because the goddess refused his help, because Shi Lan did not deny the second half of his sentence, which meant that she also believed that the three of them were friends.
"Okay, let's go first." Shao Yu said goodbye to the goddess overjoyed, and at the same time, he did not forget to warn, "If you encounter trouble, remember to find us!"
Shi Lan did not respond and nodded slightly.
"Shi Lan, let's go first, see you later!" Tianming raised his hand and greeted Shi Lan to say goodbye, and then walked down the mountain with Shao Yu.
After walking a few steps, Shao Yu stopped lazily. After hesitating back and forth, he made up his mind, turned around and shouted to Shi Lan:
"Miss Shi Lan, I hope you will consider my previous proposal carefully. I promise that Tianming and I have no ill intentions, and that our companions will not harm you!"
Shi Lan didn't respond at all this time, and just stood silently on the top of the mountain.
Shao Yu was a little disappointed that he didn't get a clear answer, but when he thought that his relationship with Shi Lan had become much closer in just one night, he felt much relieved.
Tian Ming, who was on the side, rubbed his head without forgetting to cast a sidelong glance at him and urged, "Let's go quickly! Otherwise, it will be noon by the time we get down the mountain."
Shao Yu gave Tian Ming the same look of disdain and responded impatiently, "I know, why are you so anxious!"
"If you don't fall asleep, we can go down the mountain early as planned and still make it to morning class... Now you are getting anxious!"
Tianming’s response to this was ‘bah’!
He still doesn't know that Shao Yu is most likely a traitor who is reluctant to leave and is pushing him towards the innocent one.
