Time passed in a flash, and three days had gone by.
For three whole days, Han Xiaoxiao had been receiving the inheritance of Bai Xi Sword Immortal.
Xu Nian stayed by her side the entire time.
"It should be about done by now!" Xu Nian thought to himself as he looked at Han Xiaoxiao, who was completely enveloped in Sword Qi.
At this moment, Han Xiaoxiao was surrounded by Sword Qi.
He wasn't sure to what extent Han Xiaoxiao had accepted the inheritance.
He only vaguely felt that the Sword Qi in the surroundings was starting to dissipate.
Indeed, the last wave of Sword Qi was absorbed into Han Xiaoxiao's body.
The inheritance of Bai Xi Sword Immortal had finally concluded.
But what happened next made Xu Nian gasp in surprise.
He saw Han Xiaoxiao gently floating down, her white dress was tattered beyond wear.
Her snow-white long legs and fair skin were exposed to the air.
It was simply irresistible.
Han Xiaoxiao's fair feet, bare against the wooden planks, gave an extremely light feeling.
"Young master, what's wrong?" Han Xiaoxiao asked, seeing Xu Nian looking at her with a surprised expression.
But when she looked at herself, she realized her clothes were barely covering her.
Frightened, she quickly took out a robe from her storage ring to cover herself.
Her pretty face turned red as if water was about to drip from it.
Xu Nian also realized his mistake only then.
Clearing his throat, he said, "Uh, I didn't mean to, it was just too beautiful, I couldn't help it."
Upon hearing this, Han Xiaoxiao's face turned even redder.
Xu Nian immediately realized he had said something wrong.
"Is it really that beautiful?" But as Xu Nian was thinking about how to make amends, Han Xiaoxiao asked an unexpected question.
Xu Nian was stunned but instinctively nodded.
Han Xiaoxiao gave a faint smile.
There was even a hint of flirtation in her smile.
Xu Nian was instantly taken aback.
A celestial beauty exuding Immortal Qi suddenly showing a flirtatious smile, was simply a lethal weapon.
If those outside saw this, they would likely go crazy.
"You'd better change your clothes, I'll turn around," Xu Nian said to Han Xiaoxiao.
Han Xiaoxiao shyly nodded.
Seeing Xu Nian turn around, she started changing clothes bashfully.
"Alright, let's go!" After a moment, Han Xiaoxiao said.
Xu Nian turned around and saw Han Xiaoxiao had changed into a light blue dress.
It made her look even more ethereal.
"How do you feel after accepting the inheritance?" Xu Nian asked after thinking for a moment.
"Great, my understanding of swordsmanship has deepened significantly, and my strength has improved a lot. However, there are many profound aspects of Sword Dao that will require time to digest," Han Xiaoxiao said.
Inheritance is not something that can be fully possessed immediately.
It requires time to digest, and digesting it also requires talent.
Some people, even if you lay out all the truths of Sword Dao in front of them, cannot comprehend it.
Otherwise, a single Sword Immortal could create another Sword Immortal?
Wouldn't the world be full of Sword Immortals?
"Let's go, let's head out!" Xu Nian said.
They had been inside for three days; the people outside must be anxious by now.
So they walked towards the gate of the Sword King Pavilion.
At this moment, the people outside were getting a bit impatient.
"Hey, do you think something happened to them inside? Why aren't they coming out after so long?"
"I think they must have received the inheritance, otherwise they wouldn't take this long."
"Then who received the inheritance?"
"Of course, it's our goddess Han Xiaoxiao, who else could it be?"
The people around were discussing fervently.
Everyone held Han Xiaoxiao in high regard.
A light ringing sound.
The gate of the Sword King Pavilion opened.
The people around all looked in the direction of the gate.
Two figures walked out from inside.
Everyone was instantly delighted.
They finally came out!
Even Yun Qingyang, the Sect Master of Lingxi Sect, wore a smile on his face.
"Xiaoxiao, you finally came out. I was worried something happened to you inside," Yun Qingyang said, smiling as he stepped forward.
"I'm sorry to worry you, Master. It took a while for me to accept the inheritance, so..." Han Xiaoxiao smiled in response.
However, before she could finish, she was interrupted.
"You mean you received the inheritance of Bai Xi Sword Immortal?" Yun Qingyang's eyes instantly filled with excitement.
So did the other people from Lingxi Sect around them.
"Yes, our grandmaster passed on the inheritance to me," Han Xiaoxiao said.
As she finished speaking, a burst of domineering Sword Qi emanated from her body.
The people around showed astonished expressions.
This aura was exactly the same as the Sword Qi emitted from the Sword King Pavilion.
"Xiaoxiao, you really inherited the grandmaster's legacy, that's wonderful, truly wonderful," Yun Qingyang said, excitedly.
The Elders around were also extremely excited.
"I now announce that you are directly appointed as the successor of the Sect Master. As soon as your strength matures, I will appoint you as the new Sect Master of our Lingxi Sect," Yun Qingyang said excitedly.
The disciples of Lingxi Sect around cheered.
They all held deep respect and admiration for Han Xiaoxiao.
Xu Nian stood aside, smiling as he watched this scene.
This was exactly what he wanted to see.
There were still eleven years until the opening of the Immortal Treasure under the sea.
At that time, a great war was bound to erupt.
And the Tianlan Continent would inevitably become a battleground.
Forming an alliance with the Sect Master of Lingxi Sect was certainly beneficial for them.
"See, I told you Han Xiaoxiao would be the one to receive the inheritance in the end."
"I think so too. That guy must have just been tagging along."
The people around looked at Xu Nian with sarcastic remarks.
Xu Nian remained indifferent, paying no heed to the mockery.
Han Xiaoxiao, however, frowned.
She looked at the mocking disciples and spoke firmly, "Everyone, I hope you understand that the reason I won this competition of the Holy Scripture and received the inheritance of Spirit Rhinoceros Sword Sect is entirely because of Xu Nian's help."
Her words caused an uproar.
"With Xu Nian's help? Impossible."
The people around were all shocked.
Even Yun Qingyang showed a surprised expression, not expecting Han Xiaoxiao to say that.
Xu Nian looked helpless but did not stop her.
"You all should know that I broke through to the middle stage of the Cave Void by relying on the cultivation technique given by Xu Nian. That is how I broke through," Han Xiaoxiao continued, speaking sincerely, leaving no room for doubt.
The people around were stunned.
Han Xiaoxiao broke through because of the cultivation technique Xu Nian gave her?
Yun Qingyang was initially shocked, but soon realized the truth.
However, Han Xiaoxiao's next statement shocked them even more.
"My Wind Attribute Profound Argumentation also broke through to the Small Achievement Realm under Xu Nian's guidance. Moreover, he gave me his spot for the inheritance. Xu Nian is my benefactor, and I won't allow anyone to speak ill of him. Otherwise, don't blame me for using my sword," Han Xiaoxiao said coldly.
With that, four sharp swords floated around her.
The Sword Intent emanating from them was terrifying.
The crowd was stunned.
They looked at Xu Nian with eyes filled with shock and jealousy.
