Let the Past Be the Past! Wang Quan Yan's Calm!

Grand Bamboo Peak, the back mountain.

"Huala—"

Invisible golden sword intent danced wildly in the sky. The terrifying sword momentum almost turned into a powerful gale, instantly sweeping across the entire back mountain, stirring up countless bamboo leaves.

"Boom!"

Brilliant sword intent shot up into the sky. The entire night sky was completely illuminated. A golden sword mark, stretching for several miles, stood above the Qingyun Sect, leaving everyone dumbfounded—

At this moment.

Tian Buyi's face was streaming with tears. He was moved, and he was also excited. Looking forward, he saw a young man standing not far away. His robes fluttered without wind, his black hair cascaded down his shoulders, and beneath his long bangs, a pair of calm eyes were revealed. Deep within his pupils, golden sword intent flickered, making him look like a true peerless sword cultivator!!

"Swish!"

Just then.

Several figures arrived, flying through the air. Led by Su Ru, the people of Grand Bamboo Peak rushed over in a hurry. Su Ru first glanced at Tian Buyi. Then, she looked at Wang Quan Yan not far away. Seeing that neither of them was hurt, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Buyi."

"What happened?" Su Ru asked.

As a result.

Tian Buyi didn't answer her for a long time. Su Ru frowned slightly. She realized that Tian Buyi seemed a bit off. Tian Buyi, who was usually very stubborn, was now shedding tears without realizing it.

"Buyi."

"You..." Su Ru was slightly taken aback.

Who was Tian Buyi? The dignified head of Grand Bamboo Peak! His cultivation ranked among the top three in the entire Qingyun Sect, and he was also the one who cared most about his reputation. To see such a person shed tears today? Su Ru had been married to him for over three hundred years, and she had never seen Tian Buyi in such a state. What was wrong with him...

Happy?!

As Tian Buyi's wife, Su Ru could see the emotion in his eyes at a glance. But why would he be happy? Su Ru, filled with confusion, followed Tian Buyi's gaze to Wang Quan Yan in front of him.

At this moment.

She finally noticed something unusual about Wang Quan Yan. The young man's aura was incredibly profound, filled with a faint, pure light, and a Tai Chi diagram flickered within it. This was—the symbol of 'minor accomplishment' in Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao!? Su Ru's eyes widened. To cultivate Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao to minor accomplishment, one needed at least the Ninth Layer of Jade Purity cultivation. Wasn't Xiao Yan's cultivation only at the Third Layer of Jade Purity...

At this thought.

Su Ru seemed to recall something.

She suddenly looked up at the golden sword mark in the sky. As if remembering something, she looked at Wang Quan Yan with a trembling voice and said, "Xiao Yan, your cultivation..."

As soon as she said this.

It immediately drew everyone's attention.

Although the disciples of Grand Bamboo Peak didn't know what had happened, upon hearing Su Ru's words, they all turned their gaze towards Wang Quan Yan.

"Swish!"

When they witnessed the symbol of 'Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao Minor Accomplishment' on Wang Quan Yan's body.

Their eyes widened one by one.

"Holy crap!"

"Am I seeing things?"

"Body covered in pure light, True Meaning of Tai Chi—this is the symbol of Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao Minor Accomplishment?"

"Xiao Yan he..."

"Reached the Ninth Layer of Jade Purity?!"

"Impossible!"

Suddenly, a voice filled with disbelief rang out.

Everyone turned their heads.

They saw Tian Ling'er looking at Wang Quan Yan in disbelief and saying, "You were only at the Third Layer of Jade Purity before, how could you possibly be at the Ninth Layer of Jade Purity now? It's fake!"

"It must be fake!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Many disciples of Grand Bamboo Peak present exchanged glances.

Although they also found it hard to believe, as fellow disciples, they couldn't truly doubt anything. Moreover...

What was there to doubt about such a matter?

Wang Quan Yan was already covered in pure light, wasn't that the symbol of Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao Minor Accomplishment?

Could it be faked?

"Shut up!"

Tian Buyi, who had been immersed in excitement and joy, couldn't help but become enraged upon hearing Tian Ling'er's questioning.

"Seeing your junior brother's cultivation breakthrough."

"Instead of being happy, you go and question it? Are you even my daughter, Tian Buyi's daughter!?"

Tian Buyi roared.

As soon as he said this.

The entire place fell silent.

The disciples of Grand Bamboo Peak all cowered, not daring to speak, for fear that his anger would spill over onto them...

Tian Ling'er's delicate body trembled slightly.

She was startled by her father's sudden reprimand, not to mention that he had just slapped her earlier.

"Alright, Buyi."

Su Ru sighed inwardly.

She reached out and tugged at Tian Buyi's sleeve, then looked at Wang Quan Yan and said gently, "Xiao Yan, what exactly is going on with your cultivation?"

Hearing this.

The young man who had been silent for a long time finally spoke.

Wang Quan Yan ignored Tian Ling'er beside Su Ru and said respectfully, "Reporting to Martial Mother, this disciple has not been unable to break through to the Fourth Layer of Jade Purity these past years. It's just that all my cultivation has been used to comprehend this sword."

"This sword?"

Su Ru was slightly taken aback.

She subconsciously looked up at the sky, shocked, "This sword... did you really cut it?"

"Yes."

Wang Quan Yan nodded slightly.

His face remained calm and composed as always.

After all, For the past five years.

He had grown accustomed to it long ago.

"Hiss—"

Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped in unison.

Su Ru fell silent as well. Although she had already made some guesses, hearing Wang Quan Yan admit it himself still shocked her...

She looked up at the sky. A golden sword mark, stretching for several miles, had almost ripped through the entire night sky. The faint golden sword intent illuminated an area of tens of miles. This terrifying sword intent... perhaps even a Supreme Purity realm expert couldn't withstand it?

This meant... Wang Quan Yan, at the Ninth Layer of Jade Purity, already possessed strength comparable to the Supreme Purity realm?! This... was simply terrifyingly so!

Tian Ling'er stood frozen in place. She stared blankly at Wang Quan Yan, feeling the aura of the Ninth Layer of Jade Purity peak emanating from the young man, her heart filled with disbelief... Impossible! How could this be possible? He was only at the Third Layer of Jade Purity earlier! How did he suddenly break through to the Ninth Layer of Jade Purity now? It's unreasonable! This is completely unreasonable!

"Xiao Yan."

"As your master, I have something to ask you."

Suddenly, Tian Buyi spoke.

In an instant, everyone's gaze turned towards them. Wang Quan Yan raised an eyebrow slightly. He glanced at Tian Ling'er beside Su Ru, understanding roughly what Tian Buyi intended to say.

"Master, please speak."

Wang Quan Yan cupped his hands slightly. Regardless, the engagement had already been called off, hadn't it?

As for this, Wang Quan Yan only wanted to say: "Let the past be the past." Since he didn't like Tian Ling'er, and Tian Ling'er didn't like him either, why should they be forced together? As for whether Tian Ling'er would regret it in the future, what did that have to do with him? As long as he didn't regret it, that was enough. Moreover, Wang Quan Yan had already made it very clear before. From now on— his relationship with Tian Ling'er? They were just strangers with the relationship of senior and junior disciples. Nothing more.

After all, the engagement was off, and they could each live their own lives.

The young man looked at Tian Buyi with a calm and indifferent expression. Respect and reverence were evident in his eyes. Even though he knew what Tian Buyi was about to say, he did not speak rashly.

Because.

He respected Tian Buyi.

He considered Tian Buyi his master.

That was all.
