The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

"Pah, what are you trying to comprehend? It's just a sealed sword aura, not a sword being brandished in front of you." A nearby mage scoffed. "I'm more interested in how this sword aura was sealed. Such superb magical control! To actually seal the sword aura with magical power, could it be the work of a great sage? It seems I need to try and understand it!"

No one at the scene doubted the relic anymore, and they were even more convinced that this relic was the original treasure of the Sword Saint from back then.

"Sword energy like this usually indicates the presence of treasures! Let's see if there's anything inside the sacred relic!"

The old priest glanced at Deacon Hoan.

Deacon Hoan nodded, signaling for the old priest to step forward and open the relic.

The old priest stepped forward, opened the relic which resembled a drawer, and saw what was inside...

It was a piece of paper with signs of wear and tear, and there were words on it.

"Is it the Sword Saint's treasure map?"

"Perhaps it's a cultivation manual?"

The students were talking a lot.

Sally stared nervously at the paper.

Sylph and Kurara glanced at Lorenve curiously.

Lorenwei, on the other hand, acted like a bystander, not pushing forward, since she was already quite close.

The students at the liturgical table surged forward, but spontaneously stopped a certain distance from Lorenwei. It was as if the boys were afraid of being too forward with their goddess, and the girls didn't want to leave a bad impression on her.

"It looks like a letter." The old priest carefully took the paper with both hands and respectfully presented it to Deacon Hoan.

Deacon Huo An feared that the letter contained some secret, so he first glanced at it discreetly, and then revealed a surprised expression.

"What exactly did it say?" The students were even more curious.

A quick-thinking student noticed that Deacon Hoan's gaze had turned towards Sally.

Sally also tensed up. Why was the butler looking at her? And why did his gaze seem somewhat incredulous?

The entire church gradually quieted down.

“Perhaps we’ve misunderstood Sally. Including me, everyone has misunderstood her.” Deacon Hoan seemed to be talking to himself, but because everyone had quieted down and was focused on hearing his words, his voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.

What's going on? Almost everyone was stunned.

Sylph and Kurara noticed that Lorenve's lips curved into a slight smile that only close friends could see.

This was her confident smile.

Deacon Hoan approached Sally and nodded slightly: "Sally, I apologize to you. Although I explained very reasonably that this treasure has changed hands many times, I still believe in my heart that your mother lied."

"No, I don't deserve that." Sally wiped away her tears. Although she didn't understand what was written on the paper, she could tell that it was in her favor.

"If you need any help from me, please don't hesitate to ask in the future," Deacon Huoan nodded to Sally.

The students gasped in surprise.

This sentence means so much! Is Deacon Huo An expressing that he owes someone a favor? And is he also showing goodwill towards Sally?

Could it be that what was written on that piece of paper...?

Some students had already made some bold predictions, and their expressions changed as they looked at Sally.

“I know the Sword Saint Hero, and I recognize this special handwriting. It is indeed the Sword Saint Hero’s handwriting. Please read it for me.” Deacon Huoan handed the paper to the old priest with both hands, and then left through the side door of the church.

"Deacon..." The president of the Care Association tried to stop him, but Deacon Huo An ignored the bespectacled president and left.

The female president's face turned deathly pale.

She realized that the situation seemed to be getting out of control!

By this time, the old priest had finished looking at the old note, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. He looked at Sally again, just like Deacon Hoan.

Sally was nervous.

Many students couldn't contain themselves and shouted out:

"Read it aloud."

"Yes, what exactly was written?"

"Today is a confrontation, so what exactly do we want everyone to know?"

The old priest coughed lightly.

The entire room fell silent.

"The contents of the Sword Saint Hero's handwritten message." As everyone wished, the old priest began to read aloud:

To my child:

"I should no longer be alive when I see this letter."

"I'm sorry, child, according to the oracle, I will lose my life in the battle against the Demon King."

"I have no fear, my only concern is you."

“Sally, my daughter.”

“I learned through some kind of divine revelation that you would be born after my death.”

"I have no love for your mother, and I am very sorry."

"I'm so sorry I can't give you a complete family."

I'm so sorry I couldn't be there for you as you grew up.

"But thanks to the divine light, none of this will affect my love for you."

"As I write these words, I can feel a force that defies time and space punishing me."

“I even feel that I have received some kind of warning that I cannot say more to you. If I write any more, it will have some kind of influence, and perhaps this letter will never be seen by you.”

"After all, I foresaw your birth through some kind of secret technique."

"I want you to know, my child, that I am watching over you from heaven."

"Also, I have something to tell you:"

"A true hero is one who dares to raise his sword against evil, dares to confront powerful enemies, and dares to defy fate."

"As the daughter of a sword saint and hero, I rely not on the inheritance of bloodline, but on the inheritance of belief!"

"If you can inherit the hero's beliefs, you will be the hero's daughter."

"If not, even if you have my blood, you are not the daughter of a hero."

"Remember, only those who have the conviction of a hero are truly brave."

The old priest paused here, his serious tone softening slightly: "The last strokes are a bit messy, as if the hero was under immense pressure. Perhaps the gaze beyond time and space prevented him from conveying any further messages..."

The students were silent, and Sally was in tears.

Only Sylph and Kurara looked at Lorenve with strange expressions.

Lorenwei was also thinking strange things: Hmm, even if I could fight with Sally in bed in the future... could I... ask her if she's old enough? And even make her call me daddy?

However, this was not the end. Lorenwei narrowed her eyes, looking at Sally.

Chapter 262 What did Sally discover?

The confrontation in the church ended with Sally's complete victory.

The Loren Care Society was in complete disarray, and its members began to accuse the organizers of wrongly accusing the Sword Saint's daughter.

Fortunately, Sally said she wouldn't pursue the matter, and Lorenwei also stepped in to help save face.

Afterwards, the old priest cherished the relics, commissioning a new glass case to store them, and was certain that more believers would come to the academy.

A relic! A relic that unleashed the sword aura of a hero!

Although the burning sword energy has dissipated, it doesn't stop the legend from continuing. Many magicians and martial artists still come here, drawn by its fame.

The old priest was the happiest person.

Sally was certainly very happy, but a hint of hesitation lingered in her beautiful eyes.

"Come join our team tomorrow and train together. You know where we are; didn't we send a message last time?" Lorenwei waved to Sally and quickly left with Sylph and the other women.

Sally watched their retreating figures, wanting to chase after them, but hesitated for a moment.

She wasn't a stupid girl; she felt a mix of emotions.

Having known her mother's personality since childhood, she always harbored a lingering doubt. Fortunately, the Sword Saint's last words echoed in her mind:

As the daughter of a sword saint hero, your strength lies not in inheriting bloodlines, but in carrying on the legacy of his beliefs! If you can inherit the hero's beliefs, then you are truly the hero's daughter.

That evening, all sorts of gossip spread rapidly throughout the academy.

"Have you heard? The confrontation between Sally and the Loren Care Association... the result was..."

"I've heard it all! Sally really is the Sword Saint's daughter!"

"Yes, the relic clearly states that it is meant for my daughter!"

"Sword Saint Mu Zhe foresaw through some secret method that he would have a posthumous daughter in the future."

"Yes, yes, there's absolutely no doubt about it. Deacon Huo An confirmed the Sword Saint's handwriting, and the incomparably domineering and inimitable sword aura released—it's definitely real!"

"Everyone speculated that Sally's mother was struggling to raise the child alone, so she had no choice but to sell the relics. Later, she saved up money and bought them back. This caused the care association to misunderstand and think that something that had been traded could not possibly be her father's relics."

"Yes, Sally and Lorenve both spoke up for Caring."

"Weiwei has such a good character!"

"Sally is pretty good too!"

There was a lot of discussion at the academy, and opinions about Sally had completely changed.

That night, Sally did not return to her dormitory.

Sally's female roommates noticed this.

Then, new rumors started circulating.

"Sally didn't come back to stay tonight!"

"Is he living with Lorenve, just like Kurara and the others?"
