Fall: Rebirth

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly and there was a gentle breeze.

Ling Han and Chu Heng arrived at a quiet forest early to wait for Ye You.

Ye You's black robe fluttered in the wind. She waved her sleeves gently, and a powerful force emerged like ripples, instantly cutting off some branches.

Then, two carefully trimmed branches flew in front of Ling Han and Chu Heng as if they had spirits.

Ling Han and Chu Heng looked at each other. Although they were confused by this sudden scene, they still stretched out their hands and caught the branch floating in the air.

Ye You put his hands behind his back, turned around slowly, glanced at them expressionlessly, and said in a low and magnetic voice: "Now that you have sealed your cultivation and cannot fly the sword, you can use this branch instead."

Ling Han and Chu Heng's gazes were fixed on Ye You, with anticipation gleaming in their eyes.

Chu Heng widened his eyes, staring straight at Ye You, and asked anxiously: "God, are you going to teach us swordsmanship?"

Ye You nodded slightly, and said calmly: "That's right."

Ling Han and Chu Heng looked at each other, excitement written all over their faces.

Ling Han was so excited that he almost jumped up. He said excitedly: "That's great!"

Ye You looked at his apprentice's happy expression, the corners of his lips slightly raised, revealing a doting smile.

Then she put away her smile, turned serious again, and continued: "This sword technique is called "Shadow Sword Technique", which was created by me 20,000 years ago when I was free. Today, I will teach it to you. Today, you will learn the first move of this sword technique, so you must pay attention..."

After saying that, Ye You took a branch from Ling Han's hand, and his figure instantly became illusory, and he quickly disappeared from the spot like a ghost.

The next moment, she appeared several meters in front of Ling Han and Chu Heng. The branch in her hand danced rapidly like a phantom, bringing up gusts of wind. The surrounding leaves were also driven by the strong airflow and flew in the air.

Ye You's movements were as smooth as flowing water, and each movement was accompanied by a sharp sword energy. The branch in her hand seemed to have turned into a sharp sword. As she waved it, the branch made a crisp sound that echoed throughout the entire forest.

As Ye You's movements became faster and faster, the shadows of the branches gradually increased, forming a dense sword net that enveloped her.

After a moment, Ye You's movements came to an abrupt stop. She placed the branch across her body, her eyes as cold as ice, like a god of death descending.

"You guys try it." Ye You threw the branch back and said in a flat tone.

Ling Han caught the branch, his face full of excitement and anticipation. He held the branch tightly, eager to try out the moves he had just seen.

He took a deep breath, recalled Ye You's movements just now, and then swung the branch. However, his movements seemed stiff and clumsy, completely lacking the smooth and natural feeling of Ye You.

Seeing this, Chu Heng on the side couldn't help laughing out loud.

After hearing the voice, Ling Han turned around and glared at him fiercely, then continued to practice swordsmanship seriously.

Ye Youze looked at the two of them silently, and couldn't help but think of himself back then.

She slowly walked to Ling Han's side, stretched out a hand and gently held Ling Han's hand, then patted Ling Han's back and said softly: "Relax your body, don't be too stiff."

Ling Han felt Ye You's closeness and his face turned slightly red. He looked at her nervously, but still nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to swing the sword again.

This time, Ling Han's movements were a little smoother, but still far behind Ye You.

Chu Heng was not to be outdone, so he picked up the sword and began to practice. His movements were more fluent than Ling Han's, but he also lacked sword energy.

"You are the same, yet you criticize me." Ling Han looked at Chu Heng unhappily and muttered.

"What's wrong with me?" Chu Heng replied proudly.

“Okay, stop bickering. You have no cultivation now, so you just need to remember the moves. Once you become proficient in them, I will unlock your cultivation. Then, you will be able to exert your greatest power.” Ye You’s voice was cold and firm, with unquestionable majesty.

She turned and left, leaving Ling Han and Chu Heng alone.

After Ye You left, Ling Han and Chu Heng consciously picked up the branches and started practicing.

Their movements were a little awkward at first, but as time went on, they gradually mastered the essence of swordsmanship and their movements became more and more skillful and natural.

After a whole day, Ling Han and Chu Heng were able to perform the first move of the sword technique quite well.

Their figures were like a graceful dance in the sunset, and every movement was full of power and beauty. Their eyes were focused and firm, as if they were integrated with the swordsmanship.

Ye You appeared quietly at some point. She looked at Ling Han and Chu Heng quietly, with a hint of relief in her eyes.

"That's all for today. We'll continue practicing tomorrow," she said calmly.

The sun had already set, and Ling Han and Chu Heng sat exhaustedly beside the firewood pile, trying to start a fire. Their faces were covered in sweat, and their fingers were trembling slightly from long hours of practice.

At this time, Ye You glanced coldly, waved his fingers gently, and lit the pile of firewood.

The flames burned brightly, illuminating the faces of Ling Han and Chu Heng. They turned to look at Ye You in surprise, as if they didn't understand why she did this.

"You are tired today, so don't waste time doing these things." Ye You said coldly, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in her voice.

After saying this, Ye You stood up to leave. Her steps were light and graceful, as if she had blended into the surroundings.

Before leaving, she paused and waved her sleeves lightly. Suddenly, a small table appeared in front of Chu Heng and Ling Han, with some delicious food on it.

"This is what I seized from a neglectful fairy when I was on patrol today." Ye You said without turning her head. Her voice was flat and indifferent, as if she didn't care about the food.

After he finished speaking, Ye You's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible smile, and he continued to take steps forward.

Ling Han and Chu Heng took a look at the delicious food on the table, then looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Ye You's slowly walking away back.

"Actually... these days I've discovered that the God is not as cold as I imagined." Chu Heng looked at Ye You's back with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He frowned slightly and spoke softly to Ling Han.

“Master, she is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.” Ling Han responded.

He thought of the scene where Ye You taught him swordsmanship today, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and a warmth surged in his heart.

As the night deepens, the sky becomes dotted with stars.

Ling Han and Chu Heng lay on the grass, looking up at the starry sky, enjoying this peaceful moment.

"I don't know when we can become as powerful as the God." Chu Heng said with emotion, his eyes flashing with determination, as if telling of his expectations for the future.

“That kind of realm is something that even the gods above all dare not imagine,” Ling Han said firmly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

The two were silent for a while, each thinking about the future path.

"No matter what, we must practice well and repay the God for his cultivation." Chu Heng said, his eyes flashing with gratitude, as if expressing his gratitude to Ye You.

"Yeah, I think so too." Ling Han rested his hands on his arms and nodded slightly.
