Time flew by.
Three years had passed since Su Ying had left the Daoist Heaven Sect for the Spring and Summer Festival. In this season of the vernal equinox, when all things were revived, the 18-year-old Su Ying had returned once again.
"Tianzong, I'm back." Su Ying, who was wearing a moon-white ancient robe that was formed from spiritual clothes and was holding a white horse in his hand, looked at the green mountains and sea of trees in the distance and laughed.
Three years had passed. Compared to Su Ying three years ago, the childishness on his body had completely disappeared. He was dressed in white, and his black hair was scattered behind his head. He stood tall and straight like an ancient pine tree. His face was elegant and handsome, his temperament was indifferent and extraordinary, and his entire body seemed to carry a kind of immortal aura.
Su Ying led the white horse up the mountain. When they reached the foot of the green mountain where the Heavenly Sect was located, Su Ying tied the white horse there and walked up the mountain alone on the bluestone path.
Su Ying slowly walked on this familiar bluestone path with his hands behind his back. As he looked at the familiar scenery around him, he recalled what had happened in the past two years.
In the two and a half years after leaving the Small Sage Manor, Su Ying first went north to the Yan Country. After staying in the Yan Country for a few months, he left for the Zhao Country. He stayed in the Zhao Country for a long time, almost half a year. During this half a year, he secretly helped Li Mu resist the foreign tribes in the northwest. Of course, he was wearing a silver mask. After defeating the foreign tribes in the northwest, Su Ying went north to the land of the wolf tribe in the extreme north. Then he went to the northwest desert and grassland, and then went south to Wei. After that, he entered Qin from the west of the Wei Dynasty. After traveling in Qin for nearly a month, he returned to the Xiao Mountain range where Tianzong was located.
Although these three years weren't long, it had allowed Su Ying to travel all over the seven countries of the Central Plains.
Su Ying was still lost in his memories. Unknowingly, he had already walked to the entrance of the Heaven Sect. Two Heaven Sect disciples were standing guard there. Judging from the Daoist robes they were wearing, they should be outer sect disciples of the Heaven Sect.
The Heaven Sect was an outer sect, an inner sect, and a true disciple.
The outer sect disciples referred to the ordinary disciples who were taught by the elders. The inner sect disciples were one level higher, and they were the personal disciples of the Heaven Sect elders. The true disciples referred to the disciples of the Heaven Sect Leader, and their status was the same as the elders.
Su Ying was on the same level as Chi Songzi, the sect leader of the Heaven Sect.
"Halt, who are you?" The two ordinary disciples stepped forward and said to Su Ying," This is the Heaven Sect's mountain gate. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Leave quickly."”
Su Ying recovered from his shock when he heard this. His gaze was strange as he looked at the two ordinary disciples in front of him."You don't know who I am?"
The two of them looked at each other. One of them looked at Su Ying and said,"Who are you?"
"My name is Su Ying, remember." As Su Ying spoke, his entire body disappeared in front of the two of them like dust. By the time his voice sounded, his white-robed figure had already agglomerated and appeared over ten meters behind the two of them. After which, he took a light step forward and disappeared from the sight of the two Dao Sect disciples as if he had shrunk the ground into an inch.
"Just, just now, that person seemed to be from our Heaven Sect…He Guang Tong Chen.”
"Could it be that he's from our Heaven Sect? But, but he wasn't wearing a Daoist robe."
"Su Ying, Su Ying, could it be that he is the little grandmaster who left our Heaven Sect three years ago?”
"No, it can't be."
In the Heavenly Sect Main Hall.
"Is there still no news of junior brother Zige in the martial world?”Chi Songzi looked at the elders below with an ugly expression and asked.
The elders lowered their heads under his gaze.
"Sigh, it's been three years. Did something really happen to junior brother Zige?”Chi Songzi sat down with a gloomy expression.
"Little Uncle-Master has extraordinary talent, profound cultivation, and extraordinary wisdom. He should be fine, right?”An elder consoled Chi Songzi. The moment he finished speaking, the other elders echoed.
"Sigh, it better be so." Chi Songzi sighed softly. Then, he looked at the elder below,""The annual disciple selection is about to begin. Have you found any good seedlings?”
"There is indeed one." An elder walked out.
Oh, Mu Songzi, you found something?" Chi Songzi's eyes lit up.
"There is a girl named Xiaomeng. She is six years old this year and has extraordinary talent. I don't think I have the qualifications to teach her.”The elder named Mu Songzi said.
"Daybreak in a Great Dream. What a good name." At this moment, a young man's voice suddenly sounded in the hall. Dust floated in the hall and condensed into a tall and thin figure in white in front of the widened eyes of all the elders and Chi Songzi.
Senior Brother, long time no see." Su Ying said as he looked at Chi Songzi with a smile in his eyes.
"Junior, Junior Brother Zi Ge!" Chi Songzi's eyes widened as he looked at Su Ying in surprise.
"Little Uncle-Master!" The elders were also surprised as they looked at Su Ying, who was standing upright in the arena.
"It's been three years since we last met, and Shixiong and everyone else seem to be doing well.”Su Ying looked around and laughed.
"I haven't seen you for three years, but you've changed so much that I can't recognize you.”Chi Songzi patted Su Ying's shoulder and sighed. All the elders nodded. The current Su Ying no longer had the slightest bit of youth from before.
"But Senior Brother hasn't changed much." Su Ying looked at the white-haired, thin faced Chi Songzi and laughed.
"I'm already so old, what other changes can there be other than aging and growing white hair? Let's not talk about this for now. Come, follow me to see Martial Uncle.”Chi Songzi pulled Su Ying and walked out of the hall, leaving behind a group of elders to discuss animatedly.
"It's great that Little Uncle-Master has returned safely.”An elder stroked his beard and laughed. "Sect Master and all of us don't have to worry anymore.”
"I told you that Little Uncle-Master's wisdom is extraordinary. Nothing will happen to him.”
"Hey, have you guys noticed that Little Uncle-Master has been traveling outside for three years, and the feeling he gives people is completely different.”An elder sighed. "Your entire body is surrounded by an immortal aura, and your eyes carry the aura of a saint.”
"Moreover, Little Uncle-Master's cultivation progress is also shocking. I actually can't feel Little Uncle-Master's cultivation aura at all now, just like the feeling the Sect Master gave me.”An elder exclaimed.
"Perhaps Little Uncle-Master has already stepped into the ranks of top experts like the sect master.”
"A top-notch expert…an eighteen-year-old top-notch expert. Have you heard of him?”An elder laughed loudly.
"Our Heaven Sect is truly blessed by the heavens to have a genius like our Youngest Uncle.”Elder Mu Songzi sighed.
"Hey, how strong do you think Little Uncle-Master is now?”An elder raised this question." Who is more powerful between you and the sect master?”
"Right now, the sect leader should still be a little more powerful.”An elder replied. The other elders nodded in approval.
Su Ying and Chi Songzi were walking on the small path that led to Beiming Zi's secluded cultivation place in the back mountain. The surrounding scenery was quiet.
"Junior Brother Zi Ge, where have you been in the past three years? I have also sent disciples down the mountain to look for you, but to no avail.”Chi Songzi and Su Ying walked side by side.
"I've been to many places. The Central Plains Empire, the northwestern desert, the northernmost snowfield, I've been to them all.”Su Ying smiled and said," Senior Brother, you should know that if I don't plan to return, forget about sending those disciples to find me, even if you bring the six great elders here, they won't be able to find me.”
"You're still the same as when you were young. You're always so willful.”Chi Songzi scolded with a smile," As the successor of the True Path Sect, you will definitely take over my position in the future. Acting recklessly like this isn't a good thing for the sect.”
"Who said that I would take over the position of the sect master in the future?”Su Ying looked straight ahead and said softly.
Chi Songzi stopped and turned to look at him with a serious expression.""Junior apprentice-brother Zige, such a big matter cannot be joked about.”
"I'm not joking." Su Ying also stopped and turned to look at him.
The two of them stood on the quiet path and looked at each other. Their auras collided, and their clothes fluttered without wind. The fallen leaves in the air also fluttered in the chaotic air turbulence.
"I didn't expect you to have already reached this realm. It seems that you haven't wasted these three years.”Chi Songzi withdrew his aura and looked at Su Ying. His old eyes carried a trace of gratification.
"Shixiong's internal strength is strong and tenacious, and he can control it freely.”Su Ying withdrew the aura around him and looked at Chi Songzi as he spoke.
"I want to know why you don't want to be the sect master of the Heaven Sect.”Chi Songzi asked.
"I'll think of the answer to this question in front of Master.”Su Ying said.
