(Mount Xilean- Fifth Peak)

(Ten Days Later)

Humans were adaptable creatures of habit.

But that didn't mean that they could not get bored.

Xu Lu took in a deep breath and gently exhaled. She unsheathed the long sword attached to her hip and made a series of smooth free flowing movements.

The blade swished through the air accompanied by a cold gust of wind.

The temperature plummeted around her body and frost slowly crept up on the grass below her feet.

Every day was the same routine.

Sleep for three hours. Wake up. Meditate. Go outside.

Practice swordsmanship. Rinse and repeat.

The only exception to this routine was when her master showed up and demanded that she go towards the river immediately.

Xu Lu hated the very sight of her master.

Her body would always involuntarily shiver and cower when those dark grey eyes stared directly at her.

The sword in her hand got faster and faster until the blade became a blur of motion too quick for one to detect with their naked eyes.

At least thanks to her previous life's memories Xu Lu's swordsmanship had improved leaps and bounds compared to the original Xu Lu.

But strangely enough… her master did not seem happy with her improvement.

Truthfully Xu Lu was still trying to figure out what steps to take next.

The relationship between the original Xu Lu and her master Lei Ying made no sense.

Lei Ying had raised the original Xu Lu ever since she was a little girl and trained her on the path of cultivation as soon as she could walk.

In some ways she could even be considered as her foster mother.

But instead of happy memories… Xu Lu could only recall bruised muscles and broken bones that were healed using pills and elixirs.

This was clearly abuse.

Or maybe this was how cultivators trained young children? Xu Lu didn't know because she had no other point of reference.

That was another mystery.

If Lei Ying was raising her to be the successor of the Holy Sword Sect because she held the position of saintess then…

Why did she keep her student ignorant of the outside world? 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

The original Xu Lu did not know basic geography, she had never met any of her fellow sect members other than her master and had not taken one step out of this mountain.

All Lei Ying focused on was raising her cultivation power.

Xu Lu frowned and finished her training. She took out a white handkerchief from her pocket and gently cleaned the blade.

She placed the weapon back in its sheath and then walked towards a nearby tree. Xu Lu sat down at the base of the tree and enjoyed the cool shade.

She touched the bottom part of her mask and felt the cold metal on her fingertips. The mask only revealed her eyes.

Everything else was covered up.

Maybe the mask was composed of an unknown material because Xu Lu could somehow breathe even though her mouth and nose were blocked.

Of course, she could not eat or drink.

It was not that she had not tried to remove the mask but the silverly film remained stubbornly stuck in place.

Cultivators did not require food or drink to survive but at her level… Xu Lu still felt the pangs of hunger and the dryness of thirst.

Her master did not care about her discomfort.

Xu Lu rested her head against the rough bark of the tree and let out a heavy sigh. Right now, all she could do was cultivate and try to plan for the future.

She had two long-term goals.

The first was to stand at the top of the young generation before turning to the demonic path and the second was to hunt down and kill the villainess of this plane.

But did she really need to do the second part?

Xu Lu had tried looking for the villainess in Camilla's world but could not find anyone who posed a threat of destroying the plane.

And nothing had happened.

Was the Time Space Administration's information really correct?

Squeak!

A loud noise broke Xu Lu out of her stupor. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tiny white mouse crawling out from behind a nearby clump of bushes.

The animal was bleeding heavily from wounds all over its body and it seemed to be on the verge of death.

Squeak! Squeak!

The mouse raised up its head and stared at Xu Lu with an expression of sorrow and despair.

It tried to run away but its right hindleg collapsed beneath the weight of its injured body.

Xu Lu got up from the ground and walked over to the injured animal. She carefully lifted up the creature and held it in her palms.

Squeak! Squeak!

The mouse struggled and tried to get away from the large fingers that surrounded its body.

"Shh… don't worry… I'm not going to hurt you," Xu Lu gently whispered as she used her index finger to trace along the mouse's spine.

Miraculously the animal immediately fell silent as if it could somehow understand what she was saying.

Maybe it was because she found the mouse pretty cute or perhaps it was because the animal broke the monotony of her days but…

Xu Lu wanted to heal it.

She used her left hand to reach for the small brown bag attached to her hip. She rummaged around inside the bag until her fingers touched a glass vial.

A healing elixir.

Xu Lu's master had given some to her to recover after training. Xu Lu slowly unscrewed the top and the scent of fresh herbs wafted out.

She tilted the vial over the mouse's tiny body and golden droplets fell down on the animal's wounds.

The effects were immediately noticeable.

The wounds on the mouse's body began to regenerate, flesh knitted itself back together, its injured leg started to heal and light returned to its eyes.

Squeak! Squeak!

The mouse happily clasped its hand together and bowed politely as if thanking Xu Lu for her help.

Xu Lu's eyes widened in shock since she didn't understand how an animal could behave just like a human.

"What are you doing?" a cold indifferent voice entered Xu Lu's ears.

Her master had appeared out of nowhere and was now standing only a few feet away.

Xu Lu gently lowered the mouse to the ground and the animal scampered away without even a backwards glance.

"Playing with mice?" Lei Ying sneered as she watched her student tremble under her stern gaze. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

"Clearly I have not been giving you enough training to do!"

The beautiful female cultivator reached into her storage bag and pulled out two booklets bound with thin pieces of string.

She flung the books at Xu Lu's body and her apprentice barely managed to catch them.

Lei Ying took a small step closer until she was mere inches away from Xu Lu's silvery mask.

"Learn both those techniques in one month or there will be consequences," Lei Ying softly whispered as she stretched out her hand and roughly grabbed Xu Lu's arm.

Her fingernails pierced the soft flesh on her apprentice's arm and tiny droplets of blood flowed down from the wounds.

"Yes master," Xu Lu bowed her head and politely spoke.

She kept her head lowered so that Lei Ying would not see the flash of hatred in her eyes.
