    Title: *The Daughter of an Old Friend* (Yes, yes, here is Han Li) Many years ago, the young Grey Crane wasn't yet "Mr. Grey Crane." At that time, he had a more resounding Daoist name, "True Man Qingyu," and was considered a rising star with some fame within the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. He was skilled in deducing talisman arrays and mechanical arts, especially adept at creating all sorts of bizarre "trinkets." He was free-spirited and disliked restraint, often traveling the world under various aliases, making friends with all sorts of people. It was in a dangerous place called "Luoxia Marsh" on the edge of the Southern Wilderness that he met Lin Xue's father, Lin Xiao. At that time, Lin Xiao was a mid-Foundation Establishment sword cultivator from a long-declining and obscure small sword cultivator family, but he was generous and righteous, possessing an unconventional passion. Grey Crane (then using the alias "Li Qingyu") was being chased by a swarm of swamp poisonous moths, in a sorry state, with most of his life-saving mechanical puppets destroyed. It was Lin Xiao who charged in, his "Whirlwind Swift Sword" technique impenetrable, carving a path through the swarm of poisonous moths for him. "Seeing injustice, I drew my sword to help; fellow Daoist, no need to worry!" Lin Xiao, covered in mud and the stench of moth blood, grinned heartily, revealing a set of white teeth. Gray Crane (Li Qingyu), looking at this seemingly dim-witted fellow with impressive swordsmanship, found it intriguing. He hated owing favors, especially to such "fools." So he pulled out several bottles of high-quality antidote pills and a modified warning array, handing them to Lin Xiao. "The swamp is dangerous, fellow Daoist, take care. This array can warn of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts within fifty feet; consider it a token of gratitude." Lin Xiao couldn't refuse, accepting the array but pushing the pills back: "The pills are precious; fellow Daoist, use them yourself. I'm tough, it'll be fine." Before long, the two became friends. Lin Xiao was venturing deep into the Sunset Glow Marsh to find a rare "Sword Heart Grass" to heal the hidden injuries of his Daoist companion (a gentle water-based mage). Gray Crane, having nothing better to do and also interested in a rare "Illusory Light Mud" found in the marsh, decided to accompany him. The adventure lasted three months. Gray Crane witnessed Lin Xiao's refined swordsmanship, so different from his rugged exterior, and his deep affection for his Daoist companion; Lin Xiao, in turn, witnessed Li Qingyu's endless stream of strange mechanisms and talismans, and the wisdom and a certain… detachment hidden beneath his seemingly carefree face. Upon parting, Lin Xiao, clutching the Sword Heart Grass he had painstakingly found, solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Gray Crane: "Brother Li, I am deeply grateful. If you ever come to the 'Mysterious Sword Sect' territory in the Southern Wilderness, please visit the Lin family in 'Cold Maple Valley' so I can show you my hospitality! My wife's 'Maple Dew Intoxication' is truly exceptional!" Gray Crane waved his hand, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. He gave an alias and left a communication talisman that could be severed at any time. Cultivators of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion shouldn't have too much involvement with the outside world. But he remembered "the Lin family of Cold Maple Valley," and "Maple Dew Intoxication." Later, he heard that there seemed to be some turmoil within the Profound Sword Sect, with a small family caught in the crossfire and seemingly suffering a disaster. He was busy with a thorny task within the sect at the time, and it wasn't until several years later that he had time to go. He went to Cold Maple Valley. He only saw ruins, scorched earth and crumbling walls, from which one could vaguely discern the layout of the small family from years past. Upon inquiring, he learned that the Lin family had been wiped out by hostile forces due to their involvement in the internal strife within the Profound Sword Sect, with only a small number of collateral descendants escaping and their whereabouts unknown. Lin Xiao and his Daoist partner were said to have died in battle. Gray Crane stood before the ruins for a long time, finally digging out half a blackened fragment of a jade pendant engraved with simple protective array patterns from the scorched earth—it was one of the core components of the early warning array plate he had given to Lin Xiao years ago, which Lin Xiao had modified into a protective jade pendant and given to his Daoist partner. On the fragment of the jade pendant, faint fluctuations of water-based spiritual energy and a weak connection to blood remained. Grey Crane silently put away the fragment. Back at the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, he used his limited authority to search through countless dusty files and scattered intelligence for years. Finally, he found a clue in a vague record about the migration of a small cultivation family in the Southern Wilderness. Lin Xiao and his wife had indeed perished, but they seemed to have a daughter, only five years old at the time, who was taken away by a loyal servant at the cost of his life, wandering from place to place. The servant soon died from his injuries, and the girl was found and taken in by an elder of the Xuanjian Sect who happened to be passing by. Because she possessed excellent dual spiritual roots of water and wood, she was trained as an elite disciple. The girl changed her name, but remained Lin Xue. Grey Crane found the Xuanjian Sect and secretly observed her. The girl inherited her mother's water-based talent and beautiful appearance, but there was a hint of Lin Xiao's stubbornness in her brows. She cultivated diligently, but with limited resources, her progress was slow. The Xuanjian Sect treated her fairly well, considering her merely a disciple with potential, not placing much importance on her. Grey Crane didn't reveal himself. The rules of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, and his own status, forbade him from directly interfering. He only secretly left some traces—a top-tier but seemingly unassuming cultivation technique suitable for water-based cultivators, a fragment of a jade pendant reforged to withstand three attacks from a Golden Core cultivator, several bottles of high-grade pills to improve aptitude, a few unremarkable but practical magic weapons, and a sum of spirit stones he "accidentally" discovered, enough to support her cultivation to the Golden Core stage. These things appeared on Lin Xue's path of growth in a seemingly coincidental and serendipitous way. He even "watched" from afar the light in Lin Xue's eyes when she discovered the water-based cultivation technique, watched her carefully hide the pills, and watched her cherish the water-attribute defensive jade pendant around her neck. "Consider it... Repaying your father's favor from back then," Grey Crane muttered to himself, standing in the shadows of the clouds. Later, Lin Xue successfully established her foundation and left the Xuanjian Sect to travel. Grey Crane knew that she harbored a deep-seated desire to seek justice for her parents and family, even though she might not even know who her enemies were. This persistence was strikingly similar to Lin Xiao's. He still didn't directly intervene, but through the vast and secretive network of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, he slightly smoothed away some of the more fatal thorns on her path, and left her with subtle "opportunities" that wouldn't arouse suspicion when she needed them. For example, a fragment of an ancient travelogue pointing to a certain ruin that might contain "Mysterious Ice Jade Marrow." Every time he saw that face, somewhat resembling Lin Xiao's but even more delicate, pale as paper, Grey Crane's usually calm heart stirred slightly. The daughter of an old friend was, after all, the daughter of an old friend. He knew the path of cultivation was dangerous, but it was the path Lin Xue had chosen herself. All he could do was secretly watch over her a little more. That "Tracking Spirit Feather" talisman was something he had specially made for her. Combining the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's "Heavenly Mystery Guide" tracking technology with his unique talismanic arts, it could not only warn and transmit information to someone he approved of possessing a specific token (such as the Feather Token he gave Ye Kong) when she faced a life-or-death crisis, pointing to the safe house "Heavenly Mystery Station," but it was also an extremely powerful single-target protective magic item in itself. He sealed this talisman into a seemingly ordinary jade pendant, which Lin Xue wore at all times. "This item can withstand three attacks from a Golden Core cultivator, but it will become weaker with each use, until it is completely dull. Use it with caution!" He said truthfully at the time, without explaining much. Lin Xue simply took it as a life-saving gift from this mysterious senior and thanked him sincerely. She may never know that sealed within this talisman was a small fragment of a blackened jade pendant found among her mother's belongings. Gray Crane used a secret method to melt it into the talisman, making this "Tracking Spirit Feather" connected to Lin Xue's bloodline, thus enhancing its protective effect. He didn't tell her that her father had once saved a cunning mechanic named "Li Qingyu" with a hearty smile. Some karmic ties are best left unmentioned. Some protections are best left unsaid. In the Tianji Tower, at the Tingyu Pavilion, Grey Crane (currently appearing as a middle-aged man in grey robes) stood in the Tingyu Pavilion of the Tianji Tower, his hand caressing a small, silver-white, feather-shaped talisman. This was a sub-talisman of the "Tracking Feather," subtly echoing the mother talisman on Lin Xue's body. Just now, the mother talisman had been activated again, albeit only for a moment—the third time, but enough for him to sense her location. He had given the feather token to that young man, one of his chosen ones. He knew that with Ye Kong's temperament and abilities, if he happened to encounter Lin Xue, having him by his side might offer some protection. This was also a selfish reason he had when he included the mission Lin Xue had issued with the intelligence mission he had "entrusted" to Ye Kong. Two promising young people, perhaps they could support each other and go further. "Lin Xiao, oh Lin Xiao," Gray Crane sighed softly, the image of that swordsman, covered in mud and blood yet smiling brightly, seemingly reappearing before his eyes, "Your daughter is far more clever and stubborn than you. Ultimately, she must walk this path of cultivation alone." He put away the silver feather talisman, his figure slowly merging into the howling sandstorm, disappearing without a trace, leaving only a barely audible sigh scattered across the boundless desert. Like snowflakes falling, leaving no trace, yet truly covering mountains and ravines. He still wouldn't appear directly before Lin Xue. Some protection is about letting her grow freely, only gently setting up an invisible railing at the edge of the cliff. And that railing might be called "the friendship of an old friend," or "an unfulfilled promise," or perhaps just a warmth in the long journey of cultivation that refuses to fade. The wind and snow continue, the road ahead uncertain. At least for this moment, he knew that the "tracking feather" that had been integrated into the old jade pendant was still quietly resting against her heart, gently warming her. That was enough!
