"Why consider the 'what ifs'? What could you do?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place fell silent for a moment. All eyes turned once more to Chen Yi and Qian Anning before him.
The Old Heavenly Master turned around and recognized Qian Anning as the Master of the Yellow Bamboo Sword Mansion. Though young, he was already renowned. His father died early, and he inherited the mansion at the age of twelve. At fifteen, he broke the Miaojiang Witch King's Golden Silkworm Gu Formation with three swords, and most notably at twenty, he slew a giant snake on the Huainan Road, cutting it open to save people trapped inside for three days, which became a legendary tale, marking him as a heroic prodigy of his generation. Otherwise, he could not have ascended Dragon and Tiger Mountain, becoming a respected and revered figure in the martial arts world.
Qian Anning ascended Dragon and Tiger Mountain with a close friend, who was a silent swordsman with a knife.
