Two days later, early in the morning.

Spring rain began to fall in the Royal City.

The rain wasn't heavy, but it didn't stop.

The entire Heng Imperial City was watered with wet, hazy water vapor. At this moment, this ancient and prosperous city was filled with a hazy poetic aura.

The disciples of the Sword Handling Pavilion came here yesterday evening and sent invitations to Xu Han and the others to the Demon Suppressing Pagoda ten days later.

The news that Lu Houde and the others had been killed by Xu Han was also spread throughout the Heng Imperial City.

The name Xu Han had spread throughout the martial arts world of Great Xia. There were some trees that attracted the wind. Xu Han thought to himself that he would soon be unable to hide his identity. Fortunately, the Great Zhou Imperial Court had sent a divine message announcing his death. As long as he denied it, and coupled with his current identity as a swordsman, the rumors in Jianghu could do nothing to him. He was afraid that some big shots would get into trouble if they thought about it.

The Crimson Firmament Sect did not make any big movements either. It was unknown if they were worrying about the Sword Handling Pavilion or if the Sect Leader was too busy dealing with his own calamity to have the time to do so.

Actually, Xu Han didn't care about this. The reason he came to Great Xia was for the Scripture Pavilion of Long Yin Temple. As long as he could stay in the Sword Handling Pavilion for a few days, he could find an opportunity to go to the Scripture Pavilion and see what he wanted to see, he could leave this troublesome place.

However, before all of this, Xu Han still had one more thing he had to do.

..

Chu Chouli shouted, "When the spring rain is over, eat meat, roast with soy sauce and old wine." Xu Han had already pulled Fang Ziyu and the others out early. He refused the feast on the grounds that his body was unwell. Everyone thought that he had not recovered from the exhaustion of the previous battle, so they did not hold back any longer.

Xu Han sat in his own courtyard and looked at the spring rain outside. He suddenly sighed, stood up, and was about to leave the courtyard.

"Miao?" Xuan'er, who was playing with Aowu, hurriedly rushed over and blocked Xu Han's path. She rubbed Xu Han's calf with her head and let out a series of soft cries. Aowu had always followed Xuan'er's lead. At this moment, she was also blocking the entrance of the courtyard. She stuck out her tongue and wagged her tail as she looked at Xu Han. It had to be said that this fellow seemed to be completely accustomed to being a dog now..

It was probably because Xu Han had left without saying goodbye. Seeing Xu Han leave the courtyard again, the two little fellows seemed to be very worried, afraid that Xu Han would leave again.

Xu Han naturally understood this as well. He felt somewhat guilty. He crouched down and stretched out his hand to touch Xuan'er's head. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll go take a walk in Mr. Xuan's room. I'll be back in a while."

"Meow!" However, Xuan'er did not seem to believe what Xu Han said. It stretched out its hand and lightly jumped onto Xu Han's shoulder. At that time, the little fellow arrogantly curled his head and seemed to be following Xu Han without caring about anything.

Xu Han smiled bitterly, but he still chose to compromise.

"Awoo! Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!!" However, just as he stood up, Aowu, who was standing beside him, became unhappy. At that time, he kept shouting at Xu Han.

Xu Han glanced at him and helplessly shrugged his shoulders, "You should also join us."

"Awoo!" Aowu's tail wagged even happier.

..

When Xu Han brought the two little fellows to Master Wei's courtyard, the old man was in his room, fiddling with his huge wooden box.

"Sir, we need to go out." Xu Han frowned and asked.

The old man didn't raise his head, nor was he surprised at Xu Han's arrival. He whispered, "It's been so long since this waiter has done anything. I saw that the rain would stop at night, so I thought about going to the streets to sing today. Perhaps there's still good business."

Hearing Master Wei tell that story, Xu Han naturally understood the meaning of the old man's actions.

Without disturbing the old man, he found a seat on the side and waited quietly. The old man finished what he was doing.

After about fifteen minutes, the old man finally finished cleaning his wooden chest. He smiled at Xu Han and sat to the side.

"Since you're so old, there are some things that you can do less than once. Take advantage of the fact that you can still walk, and give it another try." The old man smiled as he looked at Xu Han.

However, when the old man's smile fell into Xu Han's eyes, his heart sank inexplicably.

"Are you confident, sir?" He asked.

Hearing this, the old man looked at Xu Han and did not answer his question. Instead, he asked, "Are you confident?"

Xu Han was stunned. He understood what the old man meant. He shook his head and said, "No."

"This is the way things are in this world. How can we wait until we are confident that we can do everything?" Master Wei said, his expression as calm as ever.

"This is different. Sir, you can wait a bit longer. Wait until those.." Xu Han seemed to be puzzled. He tried to persuade him.

However, he was interrupted by the old man before he could finish his sentence.

"I can afford to wait, but some people are unwilling to let me wait." As the old man spoke, Ruo Youzhi raised his finger to look at the rainy sky.

Xu Han was stunned again. He roughly understood who the old man was referring to.

However, the things involved were too far away for him. He did not know what he could do for the old man, so he could only remain silent at that time.

The old man seemed to have seen through his thoughts. He smiled and asked, "How is his right arm?"

"Thanks to Teacher's blessing, only by teaching me a secret technique can I refine it." Xu Han hurriedly said.

The reason why he suddenly left a few days ago was because the old man had taught him a secret technique. Although he could not completely control this demon arm, he could still control some of its power. That was why he was able to kill the swordsmen in all directions.

"You have a sword intent left behind by the Sword Immortal of the Mausoleum of the Sword, and a starlight left behind by the surveillance. Together, suppressing the demon arm is not difficult. It's just that you can't do anything about it. I'm just giving you a little advice. It's not a big favor. You don't have to worry about it." The old man smiled and said, his gaze towards Xu Han becoming even more affectionate.

"Teacher has taught me a few times. Now that Teacher has suffered, I have no way to repay you .." But the more the old man acted like this, the more guilty Xu Han became.

Seeing him like this, the old man patted Xu Han's arm and said, "Actually, you don't have to be like this. This old man isn't a sage either. I've helped you a few times, but I actually have something to ask of you."

"Huh?" Xu Han was stunned for a moment, and then he hurriedly said solemnly, "Sir, please, I will die without hesitation!"

At this moment, the earnest look on Xu Han's face did not seem to be fake.

Seeing this, the old man was very relieved. He nodded in satisfaction and patted the huge wooden box beside him.

"If one day, this old man becomes loess.."

"I want you to carry this box for me.."
