Hua Qiangu resumed her daily cultivation in Changliu. Every time she wanted to talk to Ni Mantian, Ni Mantian would walk away the moment she saw her, never giving her a chance to speak. Hua Qiangu sighed. At this moment, Mo Yan and Sheng Xiaomo came over. The disciples gathered and bowed." Greetings, World Venerable and Scholar Venerable!”
"Alright, everyone, get up." Sheng Xiaomo waved his fan to signal them to get up.
After the disciples stood up, Moyan lectured,""The Immortal Sword Competition is about to begin. At that time, all the sect leaders will come to watch the ceremony. You must hurry up and cultivate.”
"Yes, World Venerable One!"
"Also, in this Sword Immortal Convention, the person ranked first will become a disciple of the Supreme One, but the person ranked last will have to leave.”Moyan said seriously.
"Ah?" The disciples looked up in surprise.
Mo Yan looked at Hua Qiangu and took a few steps forward. Hua Qiangu shrunk his neck under Mo Yan's pressure and took a small step back, waiting for Mo Yan to lecture him." Hua Qiangu, you are my disciple of Changliu, so you should abide by the rules of Changliu. Although you are the Sect Master of Mount Shu, you are no different from other disciples. If you rank last in this Sword Immortal Convention, you will also be expelled from Changliu.”
"Yes, I will follow your teachings.”Hua Qiangu replied. He had made up his mind to cultivate properly and not be expelled.
Moyan suddenly thought of something." Right, in this Immortal Sword Competition, you can't use external forces, such as celestial devices or pills, to improve your magic power in a short time. If you cheat or take shortcuts, you will be disqualified from this competition. If the circumstances are serious, you will be punished. Do you understand?"”
"Yes, World Venerable One!"
"Alright, let's continue cultivating." Moyan turned around and left after he finished speaking. Shengxiao Mo waved his fan and smiled at the disciples before following him.
Hua Qiangu was waiting for her in front of Ni Mantian's room. When Ni Mantian saw Hua Qiangu, she turned her head away angrily. Hua Qiangu hurried forward and handed her something," Mantian, don't be angry. Look, I brought you some specialties from Mount Shu. There's a lot of delicious food inside."”
"Penglai has everything. Who cares about your trash?" Ni Mantian said arrogantly.”
"Mantian, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that there are some things that I don't know where to start.”Hua Qiangu said apologetically.
"Humph! You don't have to say anything. Do you think I'll forgive you just like that?”
"I'm not asking for your forgiveness. I just want you to know that I've always treated you as my good friend.”WWw.5Wx.ORG
"Friends?" Ni Mantian looked at her disdainfully," I was really blind to have misjudged you. You are now the Sect Master of Mount Shu, you don't need me to protect you anymore. Qing Shui and Meng Xuanlang are by your side. Anyway, let me tell you, we are no longer friends. Stop being an eyesore in front of me."”With that, he turned around and returned to his room, refusing Hua Qiangu's invitation.
" All over the sky, all over the sky…" Hua Qiangu banged on the door and left in disappointment.
Hua Qiangu was worried that she would end up in last place in the Tournament of the Sword and Fairy, so she started to cultivate diligently at night. Bai Zihua walked past her and saw that she was still cultivating, so he went up to her." It's already so late, and you're still practicing your swordsmanship?”
"Supreme One?" Hua Qiangu stopped and turned around." I'm the weakest among the new disciples. I'm worried that I'll be chased out of Changliu.”
Bai Zihua could tell that the sword in her hand was the Clear Spring Sword." You're going to use the Clear Spring Sword in the Grand Meeting?”
Hua Qiangu nodded." Yes, that's right. Your Honor, is there anything wrong?”
"The Clear Spring Sword has spirituality. If you inject your magic power into the sword, it will help you increase your magic power.”
"Ah?" Hua Qiangu shook his head repeatedly." Supreme One, I didn't mean that. I've just been using it all this time and I'm just used to it.”
" The Sword and Fairy Meet this time is different from the past," Bai Zihua reminded." The rules of the competition are very strict. You must not violate them.”
"Yes, Supreme One!" Hua Qiangu hurriedly bowed.
Bai Zihua nodded. Shaoyue knew Little Gu's personality. She must be working hard on her cultivation, so she rode her sword to the cultivation ground. When she saw her senior brother there, she could not help but think of the story where the two of them were in a life and death relationship. Hence, she did not go down and planned to watch from the side.
Bai Zihua saw that he had already reminded Hua Qiangu and was about to leave. Hua Qiangu suddenly remembered that if she became a disciple of the Supreme One, she would be able to enter the Hall of Unrequited Love and see the Sword Saint often. She did not know that the Sword Saint was also taking in disciples.
" My Lord," Hua Qiangu called out to Bai Zihua. Bai Zihua turned around and looked at her in confusion. Hua Qiangu asked nervously," If I become your disciple, will I be able to stay in the Hall of Unrequited Love with you?"”
Bai Zihua frowned as he looked at Hua Qiangu." I live together with Master. This way, it will be easier for me to guide my disciples and let them follow Master's character.”
"Then... Then I want to be the Supreme One's disciple!”Hua Qiangu decided.
Bai Zihua paused and tilted his head." You can give up on this idea. I won't take you in as my disciple."”After saying that, he left. However, he was thinking in his heart, could it be that the life and death tribulation was really unavoidable?
Hua Qiangu looked at Bai Zihua's back and shouted,""I will definitely become the Supreme One's disciple!”
Shaoyue happened to hear this sentence in midair. What? Little Gu wanted to be Shixiong's disciple? Shaoyue was shocked. The plot had not changed. It seemed that she had to stop them from becoming master and disciple.
Ni Mantian was very depressed after being blocked by Hua Qiangu at the door, so she came out for a walk, pulling the weeds by the roadside angrily as she walked. Shao Yue saw her on her way back. On second thought, this Ni Mantian who always targeted Xiao Gu, if she could persuade her not to harm Xiao Gu, wouldn't that be better?
Hence, Shao Yue descended from the sky. Ni Mantian did not even raise her head and said,"Who dares to block my path!”
"Oh?" Shaoyue looked at her with interest." Am I blocking your way?”
Ni Mantian noticed that the voice was not right. She looked up and saw that it was the Sword Saint. She hurriedly knelt down and bowed," Greetings, Sword Saint. I didn't know that you were here. Please forgive me for my offense."”She was very nervous. This was the second time she had offended the Sword Saint. The Sword Saint could let it go the first time, but this time…The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became. She could not help but break out in a cold sweat.
Shaoyue smiled. She did not expect that the evil female supporting character in the plot would be so afraid of her. She was not someone who cared about formalities." Get up. You look very angry.”
Ni Mantian raised her head and looked at Shao Yue carefully. She only dared to stand up after making sure that Shao Yue did not blame her." Sword Saint, I…I'm just in a bad mood."”
"Is that so?" Shao Yue walked closer to her." The Sword and Fairy Meet is about to begin. How are your preparations?”
"I will definitely become the Supreme One's disciple!”Ni Mantian vowed.
"You also want to be Senior Brother's disciple?" Shao Yue knew Ni Mantian's personality." You love to be competitive and want to be the champion, but are you sure you can win against Shuofeng?”
" I…" Ni Mantian hesitated. She was indeed not confident that she could defeat Shuo Feng.
"Ni Mantian, the rules of this competition are very strict. Any disciple who breaks the rules will be punished, no matter who he is.”Shao Yue reminded.
"Sword Saint, what do you mean?" Ni Mantian was puzzled.
"You're so strong. It's nothing. I'm just afraid that jealousy will get to my head and I'll do something irreparable.”Shaoyue looked at her fixedly.
"I didn't!" Ni Mantian retorted hurriedly.
"I heard about you and Little Gu.”
"So Sword Saint is also Hua Qiangu's lobbyist?”
Shaoyue shook her head." I'm not here to persuade you to reconcile with Xiao Gu. I just want to remind you that the status and identity you value now are completely unimportant. There's no need for you to be jealous either. Aren't you tired of carrying these burdens around?”
" I…" Ni Mantian had been the daughter of the Sect Leader since she was young. Her father had always told her not to bring shame to Penglai and to win glory for Penglai. Sometimes, she did feel very tired, but no one knew how tired she was, not even her own father.
"Actually, if you let go of all this, you will be much more relaxed and happy. Isn't that good?”Shao Yue advised.
" But I'm the daughter of the Island Master of Penglai Island…"
"However, you still have to keep a disciple for a long time. On the path of cultivation, you have to abandon your selfish thoughts. Your desires are too deep and will affect your cultivation. Moreover, I don't want to see you do anything to win the Immortal Sword Conference.”
"I…" Ni Mantian could not refute. She had indeed thought of using all means.
" Mantian," Shaoyue said gently." The competition has to be fair and square. You have to use your true strength to fight. Even if you lose, it will be glorious.”
"Losing…is also glorious?" This was the first time Ni Mantian heard someone tell her that losing was glorious. Ni Qianzhang had always asked Ni Mantian to win him glory and face, not allowing her to lose. She knew that her father had always wanted a boy, so she had to be as strong as a man. However, Shaoyue's words had hit the deepest part of her heart.
"Yes, even though I lost, it was still an honor." Shao Yue said with certainty. She knew that Ni Mantian would not be able to come to her senses so quickly. She was just giving her a reminder to make her heart waver.
" Supreme Sword, I…" Ni Mantian was indeed shaken.
Shaoyue patted her shoulder." It's good that you're listening.”With that, he turned around and left.
Ni Mantian looked at Shao Yue's back and shouted,"Sword Saint, if I lose fair and square, can I become your disciple?”Because she felt that if she lost, she would only lose to Shuofeng. Then she would also be second place and should be able to become the Sword Saint's disciple.
"My disciple?" Shao Yue turned around in surprise.”Ni Mantian nodded. Seeing her serious expression, Shao Yue smiled and said,"If you can really get rid of your distracting thoughts, then I will consider it.”
Ni Mantian smiled comfortably. She would definitely compete fair and square. However, things did not always go as she wished. Ni Qianzhang had come to find her after the Sword and Fairy Competition had started, causing her to waver and be filled with lust again. Of course, this was something that would happen later.
The next day, the three venerables were walking down from the main hall. Moyan sighed as he walked,""The aptitude of this batch of disciples is much higher than the aptitude of the disciples in previous years.”
"What?" Sheng Xiao smiled. Senior Brother also wanted to recruit another disciple from this batch of disciples?”
"That's not what I meant. I'm just wondering who will be the champion of this year's Sword and Fairy Meet. After all, Zihua's disciple is related to our future.”Moyan said.
"Also, Little Junior Sister's disciple is also related to our future.”Shengxiao Mo echoed.
Bai Zihua stopped in his tracks." Little Yue, you want to take in a disciple?”
"Mm, Sect Leader Senior Brother, don't you know?”Sheng Xiaomo asked in surprise. Little Junior Sister had been in the Heartless Palace all this time. Could it be that she didn't tell her Senior Brother?
"That's right, Zihua. The last time we were discussing taking in a disciple, after you left, Junior Sister suddenly said that she wanted to take in a disciple too.”Moyan recalled the scene from that day and said helplessly.
Bai Zihua thought to himself,'Since that's the case, there's no need for me to take in a disciple. It just so happens that I'm about to announce an important decision.'
" Zihua." Zi Xun walked over. Bai Zihua looked at her in surprise."Blessed One, is the arrangement of the lessons I taught appropriate?”
"Everything has been arranged properly. Thank you for your trouble.”Moyan said. Bai Zihua looked at him in confusion.
"It's fine. I'll go down and prepare.”Zi Xun glanced at Bai Zihua and left.
After Zi Xun left, Bai Zihua asked,""What is she doing here?"
"Fairy Zixun volunteered to come to my residence to teach the new disciples.”Moyan explained.
Bai Zihua sighed helplessly. Moyan continued,""Zihua, there's something I don't know if I should say.”
"Tell me."
"There are some things that you can't run away from just because you want to.”Moyan advised. Bai Zihua did not say anything and left with a sigh.
Zi Xun walked into the classroom and taught the new disciples the knowledge of incense refinement. She walked up to the seat of honor, and all the disciples in the classroom were mesmerized by her immortal figure. Hua Qiangu could not help but be stunned for a moment. Then, she thought of Shaoyue and secretly laughed. Sword Saint was still more good-looking, she thought to herself.
Today was the day the five Exalted Celestials became sworn brothers. Bai Zihua was playing the zither alone at the place where they had become sworn brothers, recalling the past. At this moment, Zi Xun flew over and saw Bai Zihua." Today is the day the five of us became sworn brothers. I didn't expect you to be here too."”
"I'm just here to say goodbye to the past."
" That's right, it's time to bid farewell to the past. Now, everything is the same and people have changed. Even Tan Fan has left." Zi Xun said sadly," Can Zihua play another song?"”
Bai Zihua looked at Zi Xun and finally started playing the zither. Zi Xun danced along with the zither music, just like how they had done in the past.
The Emperor of Shu Kingdom was seriously ill, so a large number of soldiers came to Changliu. Luo Shiyi brought them to the training ground for the new disciples. When Wu Qing Luo saw them, she asked Huo Xi," Hey, why are there people from the palace?"”
"Something big must have happened." Huo Xi guessed.
Meng Xuanlang saw the soldiers and wondered if he should go back. The other disciples looked at them curiously. The soldiers walked straight to Meng Xuanlang and knelt down."This subordinate greets the Second Prince!"
The other disciples opened their mouths in surprise and looked at Meng Xuanlang in disbelief. Meng Xuanlang said expressionlessly,"Get up."
"Yes, sir!"
With the permission of the Three Supremes, Meng Xuanlang left Changliu with the soldiers. Hua Qiangu and Qing Shui came to see him off. Meng Xuanlang said happily,"Qian Gu, are you here to send me off?"
Hua Qiangu hurriedly pushed Qing Shui." Qing Shui is here too."”
"Oh…" Meng Xuanlang looked at Qing Shui and smiled."Big Brother Meng, when are you coming back?”
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. I still have to attend the Immortal Sword Conference.”Meng Xuanlang said confidently, but he never returned.
