"Wait—don't open it right now…"
Bai Yujian's voice was sharp, but toward the end, it softened into resignation.
Because Su Xiaobai had already unrolled the scroll, eyes scanning over the contents with casual curiosity.
Bai Yujian stood there like a celestial statue, unmoving as the cold wind swept past her stiff face.
This scroll… this entire scroll could take centuries to fully comprehend.
Did he seriously intend to stand here, right now, flipping through it like a street vendor's menu, expecting her to wait until he was done before she continued speaking?
She needed help.
Serious help.
But she could not cry for help.
She was a senior, the Peak Lord of Sword Peak!
Meanwhile, Su Xiaobai—completely oblivious to Bai Yujian's quiet existential crisis—was simply checking out what Sword Dao was all about.
His eyes skimmed over the words:
[Way of the Sword]
Sword Qi – The Foundation of the Path
Sword Aura – The Refinement of Presence
