The blind elder and the mute artisan could only see him off. "Do not set too great a hope upon the Worry-Free Land. If things do not go your way after you return, come to Jingping. There is far too much work here for us to do. Back in the Worry-Free Land you will only eat and wait for death."
The blind elder said, "The mute artisan says that if you wish to see the Jingping reforms, go to the great academies. They are called sects now, but in truth they are still academies. That is the front line of the reform. Our village headman is teaching sword arts in the Holy Sect of the Great Academy; you must be a student of the sword yourself, so go pay him a visit—you should profit much from it."
Kaihuang hurried away.
The blind elder and the mute artisan watched him go into the distance, and sighed with feeling. "There is still talent in the Worry-Free Land. What a pity—this Ye Kai, following Kaihuang, has thrown his talents away for nothing!"
At the Yongjiang Academy, the Heavenly Dragon carriage halted. Shen Mu summoned the Dragon Keeper and asked after the state of the academy. The Dragon Keeper said, "Replying to the master, Yongjiang Academy is not called an academy anymore; it is called the Yongjiang Sect. Su Yunzhi is the sect master, Zhe Huali the vice-sect master, and I have put my own name down as an elder of the Yongjiang Sect. These past days the Yongjiang Sect has been in a great ferment: Old Master Tu of the Heavenly Blade has come, and besides the Heavenly Blade there has come a Divine Blade, who has fought Old Master Tu several bouts, whipping the disciples of the Yongjiang Sect into a fever."
"Grandpa Tu is here? Another Divine Blade—could it be Luo Wushuang?"
Shen Mu blinked. He had kicked Luo Wushuang into the Yuanmu Heavenly Palace of the Yuan Realm, and had supposed the man must have fought his way out through blood and slaughter. To think he had been hiding here all along.
