Her master often said that Huo Lingqi had sprung from a crack in a rock: cold-hearted, oblivious to the world, and concerned only with herself.
A master who could sweep across three mountains and six rivers with a single sword, she was someone who dared challenge the heavens.
Stubborn and proud, she was ambushed by her childhood friend and senior martial brother during a duel. The best swordswoman under heaven was left blind and crippled.
After she was injured, Huo Lingqi was rescued by a country schoolteacher. He was gentle and polite, frail and delicate, and often picked on by people with ill intentions.
How could Huo Lingqi stand for that? The next time someone came to bully him, she strode out the door with a cleaver in hand, full of menace.
A martial artist had a powerful aura of bloodlust. The schoolteacher stopped her and said, "Why use a butcher's cleaver to kill a chicken?"
Huo Lingqi gave a cold sneer, tossed the cleaver aside, and held out her empty hand. "Then bring me a knife meant for killing chickens."
A schoolteacher who couldn't lift a finger had saved her life and taken good care of her. It was only right for her to protect him in return and repay her debt. That's what she thought.
People in the village always said that Teacher Meng was kind and handsome. Huo Lingqi couldn't see, so she could only nod perfunctorily. "He is fairly domesticated. Good at looking after people."
Her former senior martial brother married someone else, and the sect changed hands.
Meanwhile, the seemingly gentle schoolteacher at her side appeared to be wearing another mask.
As Huo Lingqi vacillated between giving up and taking revenge, she suddenly understood that in the end, she had to return to the martial world.
She gripped her sword. "This time, I'll give you three moves to explain yourself."

When Meng Li Guan was working as a schoolteacher, he found the injured best swordswoman under heaven.
She had a fiery temper and would fly off the handle at the slightest provocation, always threatening to beat or kill someone.
She was a woman of few words, often leaning against the doorway in bamboo sandals and straw shoes, counting ants before forcing out a single line: "I won't be fooled by a man again."
The two of them chased each other around, raising a ruckus wherever they went.
Meng Li Guan had often imagined what the best swordswoman under heaven, the one who dared challenge the heavens, might be like. He had never expected her to be such an innocent, awkward young woman.
He had plenty of secrets. Compared with Huo Lingqi's straightforwardness, they were like black and white pieces on a chessboard.
Given Huo Lingqi's bitter resentment toward everything after her injury, if she found out he'd approached her for another reason, she would probably cut him down with one stroke.
Until the day Meng Li Guan was cornered. Huo Lingqi flashed in with her sword and stood before him. Cold rain dampened her temple hair, each strand parting to reveal bright eyes. Her long sword flashed with a killing edge.
"You dare lay a hand on my man?"
She swept her gaze across the crowd and sneered. "I am Huo Lingqi, the best swordswoman under heaven. Are you sure you still want to come at me?"
But in that moment, Meng Li Guan's heart was like damp moss, its bitterness mingled with a delusion that dared reach for her. Would the fallen best swordswoman under heaven be willing to remain in an exquisitely crafted treasure box?
