Xiao Yicai seemed to be in a bad mood. Not long after flying on his sword, he cleared a path and landed.
Senior Brother Xiao, what's wrong?" Lu Xueqi followed him and landed on the road. Seeing that he looked a little lonely, she couldn't help but ask him.
Xiao Yicai looked at Lu Xueqi quietly and shook his head.""I'm fine. I just want to walk on this road. Are you willing to accompany me?”
Lu Xueqi nodded and walked with him. Neither of them spoke. After a long time, Lu Xueqi asked him,"Are you in a bad mood?"
Xiao Yicai didn't answer her question. After a moment of silence, he asked her,""Junior Sister Lu, have you ever thought about why we cultivate?”
Lu Xueqi was stunned. She frowned and thought for a moment. She shook her head and said,"I only know that Master told me to cultivate diligently, so I have to cultivate diligently and not let her down. As for why I cultivate, I have never thought about it.”
"Will you not disappoint Master's expectations?" Xiao Yicai sighed and did not say anything.
Lu Xueqi looked at Xiao Yicai, but her face became more and more puzzled. She could clearly feel that after coming out of the Dripping Blood Cave, this senior brother was a little different from before. Now, he had become more sentimental and no longer had the unrestrained appearance of before.
Could it be that this was the change brought about by breaking through to the Shang Qing Realm? Lu Xueqi thought about it, but she did not voice her doubts. She was not a talkative person.
After that, the two of them did not speak again. Instead, they quietly walked in the forest for a day before leaving the territory of Kongsang Mountain.
After spending another night in the wilderness, the two of them finally walked onto the official road. Not only did the road become wider, but there were also more people. They asked the pedestrians along the way and inquired about the direction of the road before heading north.
It was noon and the sun was high in the sky. It was very hot. The two of them had traveled for half a day and were quite excited. They saw a small tea stall by the roadside under a big tree. Five or six customers were already sitting inside.
Seeing the shade, the two of them walked over and bought a bowl of tea to drink. They also sat down to rest.
Needless to say, the tea in this small tea stall was really cooling and quenching one's thirst. Xiao Yicai and Lu Xueqi drank a bowl each and immediately felt comfortable, as if the weather was not so hot anymore.
Halfway through their drinking, they heard a gentle voice from the side of the road,""Boss, give me a bowl of tea.”
A rare breeze blew past at noon, causing the branches and leaves of the trees to sway. The broken sunlight scattered on the ground. The tea stall owner, who looked to be in his fifties, replied and bent down to pour tea. Xiao Yi inadvertently looked over. The next moment, his brows inadvertently furrowed.
Lu Xueqi was taken aback. She also looked at the person who had come. It was a middle-aged scholar with thin eyebrows and a square face. He looked elegant, but his eyes were bright and his forehead was full. There was a dignified aura in this elegance. He wore a Confucian robe and a light purple jade pendant on his waist. It was exquisite and clear, and there was a faint auspicious aura. One look and one could tell that he was not an ordinary person.
Lu Xueqi looked at him for a long time and suddenly realized that she had been defeated by the middle-aged scholar's demeanor. She felt that the moment he walked in, the five or six customers who were originally drinking tea at the tea stall, including herself, were all silent and suppressed by this person's aura.
Lu Xueqi withdrew her gaze, but she was slightly amazed in her heart. At the same time, she was greatly impressed by the bearing of this middle-aged scholar. Although this person did not look very handsome, this temperament that came from within was really rare.
He couldn't help but look at Xiao Yicai again, only to see that he had retracted his gaze and was drinking his tea as if it had nothing to do with him.
The scholar entered the tea stall and took the tea from the boss. He sat down casually and began to slowly taste the tea. The customers who were originally chatting and laughing all fell silent. The atmosphere in the tea stall was a little strange, but the middle-aged scholar was calm and collected. He didn't notice the situation around him at all. He was drinking tea and resting alone.
After a while, the other customers either had enough rest or finished their tea. They paid their bills and left one by one. The boss came over to clean up the dishes. At this time, only Xiao Yicai, Lu Xueqi, and the middle-aged scholar were left under the big tree.
Xiao Yicai seemed to be really thirsty. He ordered another pot of tea and drank it silently. Lu Xueqi accompanied him. The two of them sat for a while before Xiao Yi stopped drinking tea. Just as Lu Xueqi was about to pay the bill and leave, she suddenly heard a voice behind her,"Friends!"
Lu Xueqi was startled. When she heard this gentle and familiar voice, she turned her head and saw that the scholar was smiling calmly in their direction. She looked left and right and saw that there were only the two of them. She asked in surprise,"Sir, are you calling us?”
"That's right." The scholar nodded with a smile.”As he spoke, he stood up and slowly walked over.
Lu Xueqi was stunned and stood up. She had no experience with strangers, so she was a little uneasy. She wanted to see Xiao Yicai, but she saw that Xiao Yicai was drinking tea again and ignoring the scholar.
Lu Xueqi frowned slightly. Seeing that the scholar was getting closer, she could only politely say to him,"May I ask what's the matter, sir?"
The middle-aged scholar sized up Lu Xueqi. Under her gaze, Lu Xueqi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. When she frowned slightly, the scholar had already retracted his gaze and also looked at Xiao Yicai before saying,"No, it's just that the journey was lonely. Seeing that the two of you were dressed in extraordinary manners, I felt admiration in my heart. I came over to chat for a while.”
After the scholar finished speaking, his gaze was fixed on Xiao Yicai. Unfortunately, Xiao Yicai ignored him.
Lu Xueqi could only say,""My senior brother is not in a good mood. Please forgive me for being negligent.”
The scholar smiled and nodded. He sat down and said,"It's okay. As the saying goes, all the people in the world are friends. It's my honor to be able to get to know the two of you.”
After Lu Xueqi sat down, the scholar looked at her and said,""May I know your names?"
When Lu Xueqi talked to this scholar, she felt a little pressured for some reason. She had some respect for this person and said gently,"I dare not. My name is Lu Xueqi. This is my senior brother Xiao Yicai. May I know your name?”
The scholar first read out the names of the two. When he heard Xiao Yicai's name, his eyebrows suddenly jumped. Then, he relaxed and smiled. He replied to Lu Xueqi,"My surname is Wan, and my surname is Cao."
"Ten thousand men!" Lu Xueqi repeated the name in her heart. This name sounded ordinary, but it gave off a feeling of being a golden horse. She couldn't help but look at him. This person had a gentle expression, but the power between his brows seemed to be born. It was actually very heavy. With this name, it seemed to have the intention of ruling over all.
Wan Renwang looked at the two of them and smiled,""Pardon me for asking, but may I ask if the two of you are cultivators?”
Lu Xueqi was startled. Just as she was wondering how the middle-aged man could tell, the middle-aged man pointed to the north and said,"May I ask if the two of you are from the current number one sect of the righteous path, Green Cloud Mountain?”
Lu Xueqi was even more shocked and couldn't help but stand up. Xiao Yicai also suddenly stopped drinking his tea. Lu Xueqi looked at the crowd and said in surprise,"May I ask, sir, how, how did you know that we are Qingyun disciples?”
Ten thousand people smiled and waved their hands, saying,"Please sit, please sit."”
After Lu Xueqi sat down slowly, everyone said,""I saw that the two Gods were full of energy and had extraordinary auras. They didn't look tired at all along the way. They looked young, but they surpassed many people in their prime. In today's world, the wind of cultivation is prevalent. I think the two of you must be people with unique skills. "I see that the two of you are travel-worn and constantly look north. You have a longing expression on your faces as if you want to return home like an arrow. In the north, the nearest and most famous cultivation sect is the Qingyun Sect. Speaking of which, I was just making a wild guess. I made up a story casually and made the two of you laugh at me.”
Everyone answered Lu Xueqi, but his eyes were on Xiao Yicai. Xiao Yicai also raised his head and looked at him.
The two of them looked at each other indifferently, but for some reason, Lu Xueqi suddenly felt that the situation was a little oppressive. She could only say to the ten thousand people,"You're so perceptive. We've never met before, but you can tell our origins at a glance. We really admire you!”
Wan Renwang smiled and looked at Lu Xueqi,""The Green Cloud Sect has been famous in the world of cultivation for a long time. It has a long history and profound mantras. It is admired by the world. The two of you have entered a famous sect at a young age.”
As they spoke, they looked behind Lu Xueqi and a strange smile suddenly flashed across their faces."Since the two of you are from the Qingyun Sect, your Dao techniques must be profound.”
Lu Xueqi hurriedly shook her head and said,"Sir, you're too polite. There are many talented people in our Qingyun Sect. Xueqi can't accept your praise."”
Wan Renwang smiled and said," The two of you are too humble. I have a presumptuous request. I hope the two of you can fulfill it."”
Lu Xueqi was stunned for a moment.”
Ten thousand people went forward and said," I have admired such a cultivation expert like you since I was young. However, I didn't have enough opportunities to enter the door. Moreover, I have always dreamed of having an immortal's magic weapon to travel above the nine heavens. For decades, there has not been a day that I have not yearned to obtain an immortal's magic weapon to watch. The two of you are disciples of famous sects. I wonder if you can fulfill my small wish?”After saying that, he actually bowed deeply and gave a big bow.
Xiao Yicai ignored him and continued to drink his tea. Lu Xueqi was speechless. Seeing the thousands of people bowing, she could only unsheathe the divine sword from her back and hand it over.
Ten thousand people stretched out their hands and solemnly received it. They held the blue immortal sword in front of them and looked at it carefully. They held it in their right hand and gently stroked the sword with their slender fingers on the left hand. They were extremely careful.
After a moment, he carefully returned the Tian Ya Divine Sword to Lu Xueqi and could not help but praise,""It's really a divine item. I think only famous sects like the two of you are worthy of possessing it. Now that I've seen this divine item, I'm really lucky.”
After he finished speaking, Lu Xueqi was about to say a few humble words when Xiao Yicai, who had been silent since the beginning, suddenly said,"Is that so? Looks like Brother Wan really admires the divine items in the world. If you come to my Qingyun Mountain one day, I'll definitely let Brother Wan see the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword of my Qingyun Sect. Speaking of which, that's the number one divine item in the world. If Brother Wan can see it, you can really die without regrets.”
"Yes…" The smile on Wan Renxiang's face froze, and his face stiffened.""Brother Xiao, you must be joking. The Qingyun Sect is a famous mountain in the world. How can an ordinary person like me go up?”
"Hehe, I believe that one day, Brother Wan will definitely be able to witness it.”Xiao Yi had just finished speaking when he glanced at the tree behind the tea canopy. Then, he pulled Lu Xueqi and walked into the distance.
Only the slightly stunned Wan Xiangguo was left on the spot.
Not long after the two of them left, two more people came out from behind the tree. One was the owner of the tea stall, and the other was Biyao.
The ten thousand people had already recovered by now. They looked to the east and nodded slightly. A smile appeared on their lips as they said,"Hehe, you want me to see your Qingyun Sect's Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword? Interesting. Haha, interesting.”
The tea stall owner standing beside him no longer looked like an old man. Instead, his eyes were bright and his expression was fierce. He said,"Sect Master, why didn't you keep these two just now?”
Wan Renwang was calm about being addressed as the "Sect Master" and only said indifferently,"Their cultivation is extraordinary. It's easier said than done to make them stay.”
"Could it be that with the sect master and my strength, we can't take down the two of them?" The tea shop owner asked curiously.”
Wan Renwang shook his head and said," The two of them are outstanding figures of the younger generation of the Qingyun Sect. Their cultivation is profound. That woman has the divine sword of Tian Ya. Her power is unparalleled. The one I fear the most is Xiao Yicai. You still don't understand when he glanced at you before he left. He had already seen through your existence, but he still remained calm. Naturally, he was confident. I didn't believe it when I heard Yao 'er say that his body had once emitted the three colors of gold, green, and black. I thought that there was no one in the world who could cultivate the divine arts of Buddhism, Taoism, and the Devil. But when I looked at him and sensed his Qi, I immediately felt like Mu Jueyuan. His aura was vigorous, and the density of his true essence was actually not inferior to ours. It was unknown whether it was a blessing or a curse for the Qingyun Sect to have such a figure.”
Bi Yao snorted at the side and said,"I told you long ago that he wasn't simple. When he was in the Blood Dripping Cave, the phenomenon of his breakthrough lasted for more than ten days.”
When Wan Renwang heard this, he turned to look at Bi Yao with a gentle expression."Biyao, what do you think of them?"
"Father, I was the one who asked you to come and see how he is today!" Bi Yao's face turned red as she said angrily.”
Wan Renxiang chuckled and said," This Xiao Yicai is not bad. However, he is the personal disciple of the Qingyun Sect's Sect Master, Old Ghost Dao Xuan. His status is revered and his future is boundless. It will be extremely difficult for him to enter our Holy Church.”
Bi Yao's expression immediately darkened as she softly sighed.
Wan Renwang stretched out his hand and gently stroked his daughter's hair. He smiled and said,"However, they were able to untie the knot in your heart for many years and bring you out of the Dripping Blood Cave, allowing us father and daughter to reconcile. We must return this affection.”
"Father, do you have a way?" Bi Yao's expression moved and she said happily.”
Everyone looked up at the sky, and a mighty aura slowly spread out, showing that he was a figure who had been holding power for many years. However, for some reason, his expression seemed to have some sadness. He slowly said,"Although he has a revered status now and is loyal to the Qingyun Sect, it doesn't seem impossible to shake him.”
Biyao was overjoyed. Ten thousand people turned their heads and saw it. She smiled slightly, and her expression was the same as all the fathers in the world who saw their daughters happy.
Bi Yao smiled at her father, but she noticed that the person next to her was frowning. He whispered to Wan Renwang,"Sect Master, it's strange that there are so many monstrous disciples in the Qingyun Sect recently. Do you still remember the disciple named Zhang Xiaofan we met in the Dead Soul Abyss?”
"Zhang Xiaofan? Wasn't it the nameless Qingyun Sect kid with the snow-white immortal sword?”Bi Yao couldn't help but ask.
"Yes!" The owner nodded and said," Yes, it's him. What's even stranger is that he actually refined the Blood Devouring Pearl and the Inky Snow Immortal Sword Blood together. Speaking of which, if Fourth Sister hadn't met him this time, I don't know what would have happened."”
When Bi Yao heard the man mention Fourth Sister, she couldn't help but be shocked."Aunt Youyi, what happened to Aunt Youyi?"
Wan Ren glanced at Bi Yao and said,"Don't worry, your Aunt Youyi is fine. She was thrown into the Heartless Sea by the Blackwater Mystical Snake, but was saved by that disciple named Zhang Xiaofan.”
"Well, that's good." Bi Yao heaved a sigh of relief. She suddenly thought of something and said,"Dad, speaking of which, that disciple named Zhang Xiaofan seems to have a good relationship with them, and he's simple-minded. It might be easier if you can take him in.”
