I eagerly immersed myself in learning, particularly in the martial arts classics. Combined with the secret manual left by my mother, my understanding of martial arts deepened day by day.
In addition to reading, I practiced diligently every day. Piaomiao Peak was rich in spiritual energy, making it an ideal place for cultivating internal power. My inner strength improved steadily, and my swordsmanship became increasingly fierce.
Among the sisters at the peak, there was a lively junior sister named Lingxi. She loved to pester me with questions and shared many rules of Piaomiao Peak and interesting tales from the martial world.
Lingxi told me that although the disciples of Piaomiao Peak lived in seclusion, they were not completely detached from worldly affairs. Periodically, they would send disciples down the mountain to experience the world and uphold justice. She mentioned that the peak master was one of the top experts in the martial world and rarely intervened unless necessary.
She also said that my mother had been quite famous in her time, a role model for many. I asked her why my mother had left Piaomiao Peak. Lingxi shook her head, saying she didn’t know; it was a taboo topic within the peak, and no one dared to speak of it.
My daily life at Piaomiao Peak consisted of reading, training, and occasionally chatting with Lingxi. The days passed peacefully and fulfillingly.
Before I knew it, five years had gone by. My martial arts skills had improved significantly. Elder Qingyue remarked that with my current strength, I could protect myself in the martial world and even rank among the top experts.
Piaomiao Peak possessed a technique for maintaining youth, so five years had not left many marks on my face. In fact, due to my refined internal power, my demeanor became more serene and reserved. I learned some simple disguise techniques to alter my appearance for easier travel in the martial world.
This year, the peak master, who had been in seclusion for many years, finally emerged. She summoned me.
The Piaomiao Peak Master, known as Xuan Su, appeared as an elderly woman with an ethereal presence and youthful features. Her gaze was deep like a tranquil pond.
She looked at me for a long time before sighing, "You resemble her so much—just like your mother when she was young."
She inquired about my experiences over the past five years and what I knew about my mother. Finally, she said, "Hong Ying was my most beloved disciple; she should have inherited my teachings. Unfortunately..." She shook her head, unwilling to dwell on the past. "Since you are her daughter and possess the Piao Miao Ling, you are now one of us at Piaomiao Peak."
"From today onward, you shall be my closed-door disciple," she declared. "I will personally guide you through your mother's Burning Shadow Technique."
"When your skills reach their peak, you may choose to stay at the mountain or venture down; it will be entirely up to you."
Thus, I became the closed-door disciple of the Piaomiao Peak Master.
Three more years passed.
Over the past three years, under the personal guidance of the Xuan Su Master, my skills in the Burning Shadow Technique have advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching a whole new level of inner strength. My swordsmanship has absorbed the essence of the martial arts from Piaomiao Peak, blending rigidity and softness, becoming unpredictable.
My master has begun to allow me to venture down the mountain for practical experience.
As I traverse the martial world, I no longer go by the name Su Yan; instead, I have adopted the alias Hei Yan Zi.
I take on missions issued by Piaomiao Peak to punish the scum of the martial world and rescue those in distress.
My blade is swift, and my heart is even colder.
Gradually, the name Hei Yan Zi spread throughout the martial realm. People only know her as a mysterious female swordsman, highly skilled and elusive, known for hunting down evildoers, yet no one knows her origins.
One day, after completing a mission, I settled into an inn in a small town in Jiangnan, preparing to rest for a few days.
It was then that I unexpectedly heard a familiar name.
