Xu Siya's smile immediately froze upon hearing this. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Xu Guang raising his hand.
"Enough, say no more. Quickly get rid of this shady person."
After saying that, Xu Guang glanced at Qin Hao. Qin Hao stood there, his face full of bewilderment.
Seeing Qin Hao like this, Xu Guang couldn't help but frown.
"This kid looks quite handsome, but unfortunately, he doesn't seem too bright. Otherwise, with the wealth of my Xu family, taking him in as a live-in son-in-law wouldn't be impossible. It would definitely be better than letting Siya meet another scum like Lin Yi."
"Father!" Hearing Xu Guang tell her to send Qin Hao away, Xu Siya became anxious and quickly said:
"Ah Cheng isn't some shady person; he helped me!"
"Ah? Helped you? I didn't hear wrong, did I? He helped you? What could he possibly help you with?"
"Ah Cheng knew I was practicing sword arts, and under his guidance, my sword skills have improved significantly!"
After saying this, as if afraid Xu Guang wouldn't believe her, Xu Siya hurriedly picked up her longsword and began to demonstrate the improved sword technique under Qin Hao's help.
The sword light flashed. Every stance and move flowed like moving clouds and flowing water.
At first, Xu Guang didn't pay much attention. He stood with his hands behind his back, a look of indifference on his face.
But as he kept watching, his brows raised.
"Something's not right!"
He had personally taught this Green Wind Sword Art to Xu Siya. He knew every move and stance by heart.
Yet at this moment, although the sword technique Xu Siya executed had the exact same moves, it gave him an indescribable sense of unfamiliarity.
It was faster.
It was steadier.
Especially that move, Returning Wind Brushing the Willow.
Xu Siya turned and spun, the sword following her body. At the moment of her turn, she lowered her center of gravity slightly, and her spinning speed was actually more than thirty percent faster than before.
Not only were the attacks faster, but the speed of transitioning to the next move had also increased significantly.
The connection between the two moves had no stagnation at all; they blended perfectly into one, as if they were naturally meant to be executed this way.
Xu Guang's eyes widened more and more, filled with deep disbelief.
After finishing the set of sword arts, Xu Siya sheathed her sword, stood straight, and looked at Xu Guang:
"Father, how was it? The sword technique Ah Cheng helped me improve is even more powerful than what you taught me."
Xu Guang didn't speak. Instead, he took a deep look at Qin Hao and asked in a deep voice:
"Who exactly are you?"
Qin Hao scratched his head in confusion. "I don't know who I am either. It's just that when I saw Siya performing the sword art, the method for improvement naturally appeared in my mind."
Hearing this, Xu Guang's eyes narrowed slightly. Amnesia? And he pointed out the flaws in Siya's sword technique while suffering from amnesia? Why did he find such a thing so hard to believe?
His eyes stared fixedly at Qin Hao, seemingly trying to see right through him.
However, he couldn't see anything. No matter how he looked, Qin Hao was just an ordinary person without any cultivation base.
Xu Guang stared at Qin Hao for quite a while, ultimately failing to discern anything. He withdrew his gaze, turned to Xu Siya, and his expression turned serious:
"Alright, let's ignore him for now. He's just an ordinary person with no cultivation anyway. If you want to keep him, and since he happens to be useful to you, then let him stay."
"I came to find you because I have something more important to tell you."
Xu Siya looked at Xu Guang in confusion. "What important thing?"
Xu Guang shook his head:
"I'm not exactly sure what it is right now either."
"Recently, many mighty figures have come from the Upper Three Heavens. They are frantically searching everywhere around our area, and I don't know what they are looking for."
Xu Siya was stunned:
"Mighty figures from the Upper Three Heavens, coming here? What do we have here that's worth the search of such experts from the Upper Three Heavens?"
Xu Guang shook his head. "How could people of our status know about such things?"
"It's terrifying. It's not just one or two, but a massive group. Moreover, the lowest cultivation among them is at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and there are even Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Kings among them."
Speaking of this, Xu Guang revealed an emotional expression:
"Those people, without exception, possess overwhelming auras. Just standing there is enough to make one breathless."
Hearing this, Xu Siya couldn't help but gasp.
Great Luo Golden Immortals? Even Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Kings? What exactly happened? Why have such legendary mighty figures suddenly appeared one after another?
"Father, you said they're looking for something. What are they looking for? Maybe some heaven-defying opportunity has appeared. If we knew, I wouldn't dare say we could get a share, but after these mighty figures leave, we could go and see if we can pick up any scraps."
Xu Guang rolled his eyes at Xu Siya in annoyance:
"You girl, you really dare to dream. Are those scraps we can pick up? For the mighty figures of the Upper Three Heavens to make such a huge commotion, they must be looking for something extremely important. Let alone us, even if the strongest expert of our Emperor Pavilion Heaven got involved, only utter destruction would await them."
Saying that, Xu Guang patted Xu Siya's shoulder:
"Alright, stop thinking about these unrealistic things. Focus on your cultivation; this isn't something you should be worrying about."
After instructing Xu Siya, Xu Guang left.
Watching the direction Xu Guang left, Xu Siya tilted her head and fell into deep thought:
"What exactly are the mighty figures from the Upper Three Heavens looking for in our area?"
Suddenly, a thought violently popped into her mind—could the mighty figures from the Upper Three Heavens be here to find Ah Cheng?!
As soon as this thought emerged, Xu Siya couldn't help but shudder in fear.
She felt that it really wasn't impossible. Ah Cheng could see the flaws in her sword technique with just one glance and immediately offer suggestions for improvement. Furthermore, after changing out of those old clothes, Ah Cheng's innate noble aura was perfectly natural.
This proved that Ah Cheng's background before his amnesia must have been extraordinary.
Recalling the tattered state Qin Hao was in when they first met, Xu Siya instantly broke out in a cold sweat from fear.
"Heavens! Could those mighty figures from the Upper Three Heavens be here to hunt down Ah Cheng?!"
Thinking of this, Xu Siya squeezed out a smile uglier than crying and looked at Qin Hao:
"Ah Cheng, in your memories, do you have any enemies? Any impression at all?"
Qin Hao shook his head with a blank expression:
"No impression. Enemies? I feel like I shouldn't have any enemies."
Hearing this, Xu Siya's face paled a bit. She vaguely remembered hearing someone say that when people suffer from amnesia, they deliberately avoid things they don't want to remember.
Could Ah Cheng be acting like that right now?
Looking at Qin Hao's confused and innocent face, Xu Siya's mind had already conjured up a scene of a bloodbath—
Ah Cheng was originally the young master of some major power, hunted down due to a tragic family massacre, and managed to escape by a stroke of luck but suffered severe injuries.
Meanwhile, his enemies, in order to exterminate him completely, were currently hunting him across the Three Realms and Nine Heavens.
Right at this moment, an utterly terrifying aura suddenly swept over from the sky.
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...

Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body.

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family."

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
