"Transfiguration" emerges, and the rivers and mountains change color.

  I still remember the faint sparkle in Su Shuxin's eyes when she said this sentence.

  In my memory, only this once, the eternal loneliness in his eyes slightly dissolved into a hint of expectation that was easy to explain. He said that only "transformation" could be worthy of "Dragon Bird Resurfacing".

  "Chén Shuǐ Lóng Què" was his sword, ten years ago, he took over as the new master of Evil Doctor Valley with this sword, and also became the successor of his mentor Su Gǔ Xī.

  That's the rule of succession passed down through generations in Evil Doctor Valley, where only those strong enough to kill their master are considered qualified to take over. Since Su Gu Xian took over as the valley master, not a single disciple has emerged in over 60 years.

  At this time, Su Shi was only thirteen years old. He killed the old man Gu Xi and succeeded to the position of a doctor, which caused a sensation in the whole Jianghu.

  Many people thought it was just an accident that the sword-wielding challengers who trod on the Evil Doctor's Valley almost broke through, yet not a single one of them ever came out alive.

  From then on, he traveled the world with a sword called "Dragon Subduing Sparrow". By the time he came of age, aside from the unfathomable and profound power of the evil doctor Gu, no one in the martial arts world did not know the name "Su Xiu Mian". Behind these three words were the pinnacle of swordsmanship, medicine, and poison.

  By the time he was seventeen, the three words "Su Xi Meng" were gradually forgotten. Both orthodox and evil sects, even if they were old men with white hair or the most arrogant school masters, would call him respectfully when they saw his face - "Mr. Su".

  By the time he reached adulthood, he had put away the famous "Dragon Subduing Sword" and first switched to an ordinary iron sword, then a bamboo sword. When he finally felt that there was a sword in his heart but not in his hand, he completely disappeared from the world, setting up arrays of strange gates and hidden trigrams in front of the Evil Doctor Valley, isolating himself from the vast red dust outside.

  It's because of this that I'm surprised by his words and expression.

  At that time, I didn't know Nan Chengyao, only knowing he was the third imperial prince of the current dynasty. The "Zhuanhun" sword was a famous sword inherited from his master after learning martial arts since childhood.

  His swordsmanship I have never seen before, but being able to get such an evaluation from Su Xiuzhen is definitely not something that an ordinary expert can achieve.

  Later I returned to the Upper Capital, married into the Tian family, although I had no chance to learn about Nan Chongyao's swordsmanship, but I did have the opportunity to see that legendary "Zhuangui" sword of his.

  In fact, strictly speaking, "Zhuanhun" is the same as "Chen Shui Long Que", if we talk about the excellence of the sword body, it may not be comparable to "Zhan Lu". The reason why they are famous all over the world is largely due to the person who uses the sword.

  Su Xiu said, "The 'turning of the soul' is never lightly unsheathed; once unsheathed, it will not return empty-handed."

  Unfortunately, the situation changed suddenly. Nan Chengyao became a prince and was busy with court affairs, having no time to roam the rivers and lakes like he did when he was young. The "Zhuanpo" sword, although always by his side, had few opportunities to be unsheathed, just like the "Dragon Bird in Deep Water".

  However, nowadays, "Zhuanpo" sword is out, and the edge of "Chen Shui Long Que" is also coldly reflected in the snow.

  I don't understand swordsmanship, I can only see their first move.

  In the snowy forest, "Huanhun" broke through the air, bringing with it a charming and elegant demeanor, as well as an indescribable laziness. But beneath this laziness lay a hidden deadliness, the sword-wielding figure in white clothes was as beautiful as snow, their elegance shocking the world.

  In the midst of flying snow, "Dragon Bird in the Water" emerged into the sky, like a meteor that had traversed thousands of years. Such a beautiful and gentle sword startled some clear breeze, bringing out a faint ink shadow. And that person, with an ethereal beauty beyond this world, slowly wore a green robe, startling the swans.

  Later, in the midst of the trial, I completely lost sight of them. Their movements were too fast, and the sword lights were too dazzling. I could only vaguely make out two figures, one in green and one in white, swift as a startled dragon, quick as the wind.

  Those around Yun and Liao were all staring intently at the two people competing in the distance, holding their breath and concentrating, afraid of missing a single move.

  The eyebrows and eyes are visibly infatuated with a bewildered expression, while the face reveals hidden resentment and worry.

  A strong gust of wind suddenly rose and then stopped. I turned my gaze to look over, Nan Chengyao and Su Xiuzhen had already separated and stood still. Li Miao couldn't bear it anymore and ran forward, and I followed closely with Lin.

  They drew near, but seeing the white clothes and green shirts, they were as calm as ever, and even their breathing was still steady. My heart settled a little, as for who won or lost, I didn't know, nor did I care, as long as they were safe, that was enough.

  Her eyes were filled with concern, but she just stood quietly behind Su Xiu, not saying a word, nor taking a step forward, only gazing deeply at his back.

  I hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and forced myself to adjust my complicated and unstable emotions. I lowered my eyelashes and walked slowly to Nan Chengyao's side, one step at a time.

  I saw a faint, almost imperceptible deepening of the smile on his lips, while Su Xiuzhen's expression across from him was as calm and clear as usual, but extremely pale.

  Nan Chengyao smiled and opened his mouth: "Su brother's martial arts skills are not something that these worldly people can compare to. If we continue to compete, 'Zhuanpo' will inevitably be unable to withstand the edge of 'Chen Shui Long Que'."

  Su Xiu's expression remained calm, his voice also tranquil: "Your Highness can take thirty moves from me, that's enough, let's part ways here."

  My heart skipped a beat, and I involuntarily looked up, but I had no grounds to speak up, nor did I know what to say, or even what could be said.

  It's as if we've been separated by a lifetime in just one glance, yet it's already time to part ways. Or should I say, being able to see you again in this life is something I should be content with?

  Although I thought so, I couldn't suppress the turmoil and pain in my heart, and I was stunned, unable to move at all.

  At this moment, a pair of slender and powerful arms wrapped around me, steadily embracing my entire body into a warm and firm hug. I still looked up in some confusion, but he didn't look at me. The curved and beautiful corners of his lips slightly rose, as if wanting to say something. However, before he could speak, the sound of footsteps had already echoed first.

  "Mr. Su, I have long admired your swordsmanship from afar. Although I am a humble and unskilled person, may I ask if you would be willing to impart some of your knowledge to me?"

  Su Xiu glanced at his hand gesture holding "Zhan Lu", then turned to look straight into his eyes and said: "Murong Gongzi is too modest, with your talent and cultivation, if you work hard, five years later, if fate permits, Su Mou will definitely compete with Gongzi again."

  His words were extremely light, yet they made it impossible for anyone to utter another word. Although Mu Rongyi's face was filled with regret, he still slowly withdrew his hand that was holding "Zhan Lu". A moment later, he raised an eyebrow again and laughed loudly: "Since Mr. Su has spoken, Mu Rongyi will definitely not disappoint your expectations. Five years from now, I will personally go to Xieyigou to ask for your guidance!"

  Su Xiu nodded slightly, didn't say anything else, and didn't even glance in my direction, then turned around to leave.

  "Brother Su, please stay." It was Nan Chengyao who spoke up and stopped him: "I've heard that the Evil Doctor's Valley saves people, but they must satisfy a condition set by the valley owner as a diagnostic fee. Brother Su saved the young lady this time, I don't know what condition he set, but I will definitely do my best to fulfill it."

  Su Xiandeng stopped in his tracks and turned around: "Your Highness's meaning is that you will complete Su's request?"

  Nan Cheng Yao smiled faintly: "This is natural, husband and wife are originally of the same heart and body, why must they be separated again?"

  Su Xi's expression didn't change in the slightest due to his words, and he still spoke calmly: "If Su certain were to ask the Third Prince for a rare treasure?"

  Nan Cheng's lips curved slightly as he calmly opened his mouth: "As long as Brother Su wants it, I can give it to him."

  Between Su's clear and elegant eyebrows, a hint of fatigue suddenly appeared: "It's just a pity that the Third Prince can only offer what Su doesn't even look at, so let's part ways here."

  Nan Cheng Yao quietly nodded for a moment, then tightly hugged me and said to Su Xiu: "Since that's the case, Brother Su, if you need anything in the future, my wife and I will definitely go all out to repay today's kindness."

  Su Xiu slowly turned her gaze towards me, although she was speaking to Nan Chengyao, her line of sight fell quietly on me, across the wind and snow, her voice sounded a bit ethereal.

  "She owes me this, it can't be repaid in this life, let's wait for the next one."
