The night wind was cool and pleasant, blowing away much of the day’s heat.

The sound of the rippling Lingxi River was in the distance.

Su Ping and Old Sha did not have to wait too long. Sure enough, it wasn’t long before another spatial ripple slowly appeared.

That small figure of the Paperman appeared before their eyes once more.

The Paperman was almost instantaneously in action, drawing the paper sword in its hand as it appeared.

With a flash of the blade, the Wolf Tobacco in front was cleanly split apart.

But this time, the Paperman’s movements hesitated slightly.

This was because the figure it had been battling just a few days ago was now standing far away, showing no apparent intention of engaging with it.

The paper sword returned to its sheath, and the Paperman yelled out to the distant figure, "WAH! (To fight... to strike, a true... Swordsman will never give up on defeating an opponent!)"

Looking at this earnest little fellow in front of him, Su Ping was slightly taken aback. He had never encountered such a Paperman before. Su Ping did not understand, but he seemed to have found some key points.

And now, having realized the value of the Secret Realm, Su Ping could not simply ignore it.

And it must be said, Su Ping was also moved after seeing this peculiar little Paperman!

Clearly, before this, Su Ping had also collected some knowledge about the Paperman species of Pet Beasts, but it didn’t seem to apply much to this particular Paperman Swordsman before him.

However, the effect of Telepathic Communication came into play at this moment.

Looking at the Paperman full of fighting spirit, he spoke using the power of Telepathic Communication, "Is someone like you already a true Swordsman?"

From a single phrase spoken by the Paperman, Su Ping had found an entry point.

In fact, as if on cue, the Paperman paused slightly, "WAH?"

Su Ping clearly understood this phrase, even without Telepathic Communication.

He put on an inscrutable look and continued, ""

"WAH?!"

The little Paperman looked at Su Ping in confusion, then glanced at the paper longsword in its hand. Afterward, the little Paperman looked at Old Sha, who was eying it tigerishly yet disdainfully, and then at the Forest Wolves, whose auras all seemed stronger than its own. It nodded, seemingly in considerable approval. it thought.

However, the little Paperman then spoke again, "WAH? (Solitary, carefree, so lofty it’s chilling... What does that mean?)"

But Su Ping didn’t need to explain! He simply looked at the little Paperman before him, "Little guy, want to understand what a true Swordsman is? Then stay with me. I’ll make you into a truly strong Swordsman! You should be able to tell that I am stronger than you, so naturally, I won’t deceive you."

Su Ping watched the little Paperman nervously.

The little Paperman also seemed to sink into thought.

At this moment, on the little Paperman’s cheeks, the features drawn with an oil-based pen also seemed to reflect deep thought.

Su Ping blinked, and then the next second, he saw that the big ’?’ on the Paperman’s head abruptly turned into a red ’!’.

Before Su Ping could thoroughly appreciate this comic-style facial transformation of the Paperman, the next moment, the ripples of space appeared again.

The little Paperman’s figure had already vanished without a trace.

Looking at the spot where nothing remained except his own wolf pack, Su Ping frowned and sighed somewhat helplessly.

However, just as this thought had arisen in Su Ping’s mind and he was somewhat dispirited about leaving, the space ripples that had vanished a moment ago reappeared.

The next second, the little Paperman that had left and returned reappeared in front of him. But this time, the little Paperman was no longer in the previous ready-to-draw-sword stance. Instead, it was carrying a paper package, which looked very much like a large wad of waste paper rolled into a ball.

The little Paperman put down the package and, under Old Sha’s watchful gaze, approached Su Ping. It even performed an ancient human-style bow, "WAH! (I want... to become a true... Swordsman!)"

Looking at the little Paperman in front of him, Su Ping revealed a smile. At last, he could finally use the Eye of Truth on this strange Paperman that seemed to be ’requesting apprenticeship’.
