Li Dao was neither humble nor arrogant. The image of the green lotus appeared behind him, standing proudly between the heaven and earth, unafraid of the wind and the duckweed.

Bai Tong wasn't so lucky. Although Gu Mutian was targeting Li Dao, he couldn't move just by standing next to Li Dao. His legs were trembling, his teeth were clenched tightly, and his face was terrifyingly pale.

Li Dao squinted his eyes. These two old fellows were indeed weird.

Li Dao didn't know the exact realm that Gu Mutian was in, but he guessed that Gu Mutian hadn't surpassed Xiantian realm, perhaps peak Xiantian realm, or even Half-Zongshi realm.

"Senior, there's no need to be angry, but what's wrong with what you just said?"

Li Dao straightened his body and asked Gu Mutian.

"Hahahaha, I didn't think that a young boy like you would actually break through to the middle Xiantian realm. When I was your age, I was far worse than you. Young people should be feared!"

Gu Mutian suddenly withdrew his aura and laughed out loud.

Bai Tong breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. His legs were still weak.

Encountered

After Li Dao, the white child discovered that the world he knew had changed.

He had originally thought that the sword of his prodigal son would not be considered invincible in this world, but it would at least be one of the top swords in the martial arts world. However, the appearance of Li Dao, Gu Mutian, and the Fringe Elder allowed him to see a completely new world. So there was actually such a terrifying person in this world.

"You flatter me, Elder Gu." Li Dao lightly smiled, as if he didn't care at all about Gu Mutian's previous display of might.

"Little friends, why have you come to find us two old fellows?" The old man at the side asked with a smile.

"Hey, you old thing, don't you know how to be polite? Don't you want to invite us in for tea when the guests come?" Before Li Dao could reply, Gu Mutian interrupted first.

"Hehe, look at how old I am now, I even forgot about my basic manners. "Please come in, my two little friends." The old man extended his hand and made a gesture.

Li Dao smiled and replied, "There is no need for you two seniors to act this way. It was this junior who came uninvited and disturbed the two seniors' cultivation."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Dao followed the Frontier Elder and Gu Mutian into the house, with Bai Tong following behind.

The furnishings in the room were very simple. There was only a bamboo table and a shelf made from bamboo. A few books were scattered on the bookshelf.

Gu Mutian found a teapot, poured water into it, and then walked towards Li Yao and the other two.

When he reached the table, steam rose from the teapot.

Li Dao felt that he could do this, but it would be difficult for him to be as relaxed and casual as Gu Mutian.

"The mountain is unimpressive. There is no tea for you two, so don't be offended." Gu Mutian said as he poured water for Li Dao and Bai Tong. Steam began to rise from the pot, condensing into a liquid that didn't dissipate.

Li Dao raised his cup and took a sip, "This junior came here today to seek guidance from the two seniors for two matters."

Gu Mutian and the old man at the border looked at each other and nodded.

The old man at the border opened his mouth, "Little friend, please feel free to speak."

Li Dao's expression became serious, "First of all, this junior would like to ask the Dragon Soul Saber and Phoenix Blood Sword. In the legends of the martial world, it is said that the Dragon Soul Saber and the Phoenix Blood Sword are a pair of emotional swords.

The borderline old man smiled, "You'll have to ask Gu Mutian this question, I don't know."

Li Dao turned his gaze towards Gu Mutian.

Gu Mutian sighed and replied, "Sigh, this old man doesn't know either. This old man has been trying to verify this question."

"Back then, this old man obtained the Rainbow Crystal Mother in the middle of the desert and forged the Dragon Soul Saber and Phoenix Blood Sword. I constantly infused the essence of the sun and moon into the blade and sword. As time passed, I treated the Dragon Soul Saber as myself and the Phoenix Blood Sword as Xiao Xue. More than ten years had passed. The Dragon Soul Saber and the Phoenix Blood Sword had accompanied each other day and night. They had gained intelligence and were able to attract each other's attention. It just so happens that half a month ago, he came to find a disciple and stole away the Dragon Soul Saber. This old man will borrow his hand to verify whether the sword is truly loyal or not. "

Li Dao did not ask Xiao Xue who she was, and this kind of question did not need to be asked. What he was interested in was Gu Mutian's verification method.

"So, Senior wants to see if Sima Chang Feng and Shangguan Yan can walk together. If they become a family member, then it means that the blade and sword have feelings for each other. If they don't, it means the blade and sword are heartless?"

Gu Mu Tian nodded, his face full of reminiscence.

Li Dao's first guess had been verified. The dispute between Sima Chang Feng and Shangguan Yan had indeed been arranged by this old fellow to verify whether the sword and saber were in love or not. It was just that this old man didn't fully understand his feelings. The method he used was too laughable.

"Hahahaha, this drama that the ancient senior painstakingly arranged is simply laughable in the eyes of this junior." Li Dao laughed out without any trace of politeness.

"Kid, do you know what you're saying?"

Gu Mutian's expression changed. He didn't get angry, but he had an imposing manner. His silver beard fluttered in the wind.

Li Dao laughed, "Junior naturally has his own reasons for saying this. Would it be possible for the ancient senior to listen to this junior's point of view?"

"Fine, if you can't explain yourself today, don't blame this old man for being impolite." Gu Mutian coldly stared at Li Dao, his body exuding a devouring aura.

Bai Tong was only at the sixth level of the Houtian realm. Even if Gu Mutian had only shown the slightest bit of his aura, he still wouldn't be able to resist. He grit his teeth and grimaced.
