In the Linji City Inner City, the Four Great Clans each occupied their own district.
The Shen Family's main and branch lineages, along with some of its vassal families, were concentrated in a district near the southwest corner.
In a quiet courtyard at its very heart, two sword-wielding figures were sparring, their swordsmanship on full display.
One of them, clad in a purple, cloud-patterned uniform, had a cold and detached expression. It was Shen Qingshuang.
The other, dressed in a white robe in the style of a young noble, was Shen Qingyao under the alias Shen Junmo.
Shen Qingshuang's weapon was an emerald longsword. Every strike she unleashed was wreathed in a blizzard of wind and snow, swift and fierce.
Shen Qingyao, on the other hand, wielded a short sword. Her body technique was nimble and light, her speed incredibly fast. She moved like a series of afterimages, constantly circling Shen Qingshuang.
