"Let's drop the subject, it only adds to one's troubles," Sword Master Bi Xiao sighed and said, "However, as someone who has been through it, I must advise you that no matter how high your martial skills are, they're useless. You can't beat an army, you can't beat overwhelming power and influence. Unless, you can reach the level of the Dragon Emperor."
"Yes, thank you for the guidance, Sword Master," Suo Lun said.
"What brings you to me?" the Sword Master asked.
"I wish to learn swordsmanship from you," Suo Lun said.
"Why learn swordsmanship?" the Sword Master asked.
"To defeat Gui Qinshao," Suo Lun said.
The Sword Master narrowed his eyes at Suo Lun, then nodded and said, "You have decent talent. If you focus entirely on the Sword Dao, you might be able to defeat Gui Qinshao in about a decade or so."
What Sword Master Bi Xiao said was based entirely on Suo Lun's own bloodline talent and spiritual perception because, in this world, no one knew of Yao Xing's existence.
