Liu Nianlin, with her mind in turmoil, was in a daze for a long time. Suddenly, a clear sensation surged from her palm to her head, and after a slight tremor, Liu Nianlin regained her composure.
At this moment, she noticed that the mysterious Gu Han, for some reason, was standing still, as if he had turned into a statue.
"Strange, he's actually in sync coordination!" Liu Nianlin was surprised to find that Gu Han's belly had swollen to the size of a six-month pregnancy. Combined with his statue-like stillness, Liu Nianlin immediately confirmed that he had successfully entered the sync coordination state.
"Oh no, my Yixian Sword..." Liu Nianlin first thought that Gu Han had taken the Yixian Sword from her and then entered the sync coordination state. But she soon realized that the Yixian Sword was still intact in her hand.
"Strange! Given this person's character, he wouldn't just randomly sync coordinate with any ancient sword-level sword maiden! But since he didn't take my Yixian Sword, could it be that there's another ancient sword-level sword maiden here that's not inferior to the Yixian Sword?" Liu Nianlin speculated in confusion. However, the second to tenth sword maidens in the "Ancient Sword Record" were either in other cities or in the hands of sword bearers. Where could Gu Han find a sword maiden not inferior to the Yixian Sword?
Liu Nianlin was naturally curious about the sword maiden that Gu Han had synced with, but unfortunately, she wouldn't know until the awakening was complete.
With no hope for the Yixian Sword, and the quiet burial ground of the Jian Pavilion in Yuzhang City offering no sounds, the only person who could talk to her, Gu Han, had entered the sync coordination state and become a zombie. This made Liu Nianlin suddenly feel extremely bored.
Liu Nianlin was not a girl who could sit idle. Since there was nothing to do, she decided to find something to do. For example, this Gu Han, who had the audacity to compete with her for the Yixian Sword, was now shamelessly entering the defenseless sync coordination state in front of her, as if he didn't want to live!
To say that Gu Han entering the sync coordination state in front of Liu Nianlin was a bit reckless, as long as Liu Nianlin had a bit of ill intent, she could easily stab Gu Han, just as Gu Han had done to Liu Nianli in the dungeon, and Gu Han would be dead.
Fortunately, although Liu Nianlin had suffered a lot from Gu Han, the ancestral teachings of the Liu family were deeply ingrained in her mind. Moreover, the entire human world had become abnormally united due to the invasion of the Yuan Kui, and there were very few cases of humans harming each other, especially among sword bearers. The last sword bearer to be executed for harming a fellow human was fifty years ago.
However, Liu Nianlin couldn't swallow the fact that Gu Han had competed with her for the Yixian Sword, and she had been humiliated by the Yixian Sword. Naturally, she wanted to take out some of her frustration on Gu Han.
"Hmph, I'll just draw a big turtle on your face!" Soon, Liu Nianlin thought of a good way to get back at Gu Han. She picked up a broken sword from the ground, pointed the tip at Gu Han's face, and muttered, "Liu Nianlin, where should I start?"
Not good... It seemed that Gu Han, who was already disfigured in the game, was about to suffer the same fate in reality.
But in fact, when she looked closely, Miss Liu Nianlin was almost entranced.
In this world, there is a kind of male beauty that needs to be seen up close!
From a distance, Gu Han's face might not seem particularly striking, just rather pleasant to look at. But when you get close enough to feel his breath, you can be surprised to find that Gu Han's face has not a single flaw, no spots, no blackheads, no pimples, truly as perfect as fine jade.
Especially now, as he was in a deep sleep, Gu Han's closed face looked like a Buddha holding a flower, giving a feeling that is indescribable, ineffable, and making one involuntarily want to join in the embrace.
Just like Liu Nianlin at this moment, she had completely forgotten her plan to carve a turtle on his face and was instead staring at Gu Han's face like a love-struck girl, her eyes emitting a piercing light!
Liu Nianlin's heart seemed to melt.

"Miss Liu Nianlin, it's time, the old man is here to take you out!" Unbeknownst to her, an hour had already passed. The Jian Pavilion's master, Liu Lei, jumped down from the entrance and landed right next to Liu Nianlin!
"Miss Liu Nianlin, the old man's timing is really bad!" Liu Lei had a slightly lecherous smile and a teasing tone, which brought Liu Nianlin out of her trance.
"Grandmaster... When did you come?"
"Not long, not long, just as you were about to kiss him, I arrived. I've disturbed your good time, Miss Liu Nianlin, I'm sorry!"
"Annoying... You dirty old man..." Liu Nianlin pouted, originally wanting to explain, but suddenly a thought flashed through her mind.
"Grandmaster, has it been an hour already?" The blush on Liu Nianlin's face faded, and she became more serious.
"The old man may be old, but I haven't forgotten how to tell time. It's exactly one hour now!"
"Strange! I clearly remember that when I regained my composure from the confusion and found this guy in sync coordination, only forty minutes had passed. But now, an hour has passed, and he's still in sync coordination?" Liu Nianlin was puzzled.
"Miss Liu Nianlin, you mean this boy has been in sync coordination for twenty minutes!!" Liu Lei's face showed an expression of disbelief for the first time. "If the old man's memory is correct, the longest sync time for an ancient sword-level sword maiden is no more than four minutes!"
In the common knowledge of every sword bearer, the sync coordination time for each level of sword maiden is strictly limited. For the weakest ancient sword-level sword maidens, the sync time is between two and four minutes, such as the three initial sword maidens, whose sync time is exactly three minutes.
For the next level, the treasure sword-level sword maidens, the sync time is between four and seven minutes; for the higher-level famous sword-level sword maidens, it is between eight and fifteen minutes. But this Gu Han had already been in sync coordination for twenty minutes, which is the time required for a spirit sword-level sword maiden!
"Could this boy be syncing with a spirit sword-level sword maiden?" Liu Lei muttered to himself.
"How could that be..." Liu Nianlin rolled her eyes at Liu Lei. "My great ancestor's first sync was only at the famous sword level. Could this guy be even more powerful than my great ancestor? If he were that powerful, wouldn't you have already recruited him to the council? Would I even have a chance to meet him?"
"That's strange. Miss Liu Nianlin, with your extensive knowledge, do you know of any ancient sword-level sword maiden that requires such a long time?" Liu Lei countered.
"What kind of joke is this? If I had extensive knowledge, would I need to ask him to help me cheat..." Liu Nianlin quickly covered her mouth. Oh no, she had let it slip.
"Ah, so Miss Liu Nianlin has this little secret. I think I need to have a good talk with your father about this!" Liu Lei wanted to tease this girl from a distinguished family, but he was almost a hundred years old and probably wouldn't have the chance to tease the heir of the Liu family again.
At this moment, Gu Han's belly, which had been still, began to emit a strong light...
ββββββββ
"Miss Liu Nianlin, with your extensive knowledge, do you recognize this lady?" Liu Lei took out his reading glasses from his dimensional pocket, polished them several times, and then put them on his nose, carefully examining the silent, loli-style sword maiden.
To be honest, Liu Lei, who was almost a hundred years old, had seen several immortal sword-level sword maidens. After retiring and becoming the master of the Jian Pavilion in Yuzhang City, he had read through the textual and visual materials of all the sword maidens dozens of times, but he could not find any impression of this sword maiden in his memory.
This sword maiden had just emerged from Gu Han's belly, standing at about 80 centimeters tall, with a head of perfectly straight black hair that extended to her ankles. If it were any longer, it would have dragged on the ground.
Her face was cold, and when she stood still, she seemed no different from a corpse. However, her eyes were abnormally bright, so bright that a single glance could plunge an ordinary person into an endless mental maze.
Although this sword maiden had a loli body, her proportions were exceptionally perfect. Even at 80 centimeters tall, she gave the impression of a mature girl, especially her chest, which already showed a subtle but significant rise, hinting at a future size that would be quite impressive.
Of course, appearance is not important. What is important is that neither Liu Lei, the old man managing the Jian Pavilion, nor anyone else could recognize the origin of this sword maiden.
