Outside the gates of Green-faced Manor, Gu Yufeng stood with his sword in hand.
In fact, he and Feng Sanniang had only met a few times.
The first time they met, she accompanied a prominent official from the provincial capital to visit the Green Mountain Sword Sect.
Feng Sanniang went alone to admire the view at Qingyun Peak and happened to meet him practicing his swordsmanship.
"I've long heard that the sea of clouds atop Qingyun Peak is a beautiful scene in the world. I'm here to enjoy the view and hope it won't disturb you, sir."
"No trouble."
This was their first conversation.
Afterward, she continued to watch the sea of clouds, and he continued practicing his swordsmanship.
Throughout the process, neither of them spoke another word.
Before leaving, she gave him a backward glance and smiled.
That fleeting view made even the surrounding sea of clouds look somewhat less vibrant.
Later, they met a few more times.
