Chapter 29
“Brother Ming~ Brother Ming~~~ Did you get the gift that Sister Xuenuo sent us?”
Early in the morning, Qin Qingwan came running over, holding a peachwood sword with a delighted expression on her face.
Xu Ming, who had been doing push-ups in the courtyard, stood up and dusted himself off. “Yeah, I got it.”
“Then, Brother Ming, what does this writing mean? I recognize every character, but I can’t make sense of it when they’re together~” Qin Qingwan said as she unscrewed the hilt of her peachwood sword, revealing a hidden note inside.
Xu Ming was momentarily stunned. So the sword hilt has a hidden compartment? Curious, he retrieved his own peachwood sword and, mimicking her actions, gave the hilt a firm twist. Sure enough, it came apart, and there was a note inside.
Comparing the two notes, Xu Ming saw they both contained the same text and a diagram.
“This looks like a sword technique,” Xu Ming explained.
“A sword technique?” Qin Qingwan tilted her head in confusion.
“Yeah.” Xu Ming nodded, then began reading the parchment carefully.
