It's Hard to Forget Someone, and Even Harder to Love Someone!

Exquisite Holy Land.

Inside the main hall.

A red veil covers the area, with one person sitting inside and one person sitting outside.

In the center of the main hall, a stunningly beautiful woman sat quietly cross-legged.

The woman was extremely beautiful, with her long, black hair cascading down like a waterfall. Her face was so exquisite that words could not describe it. She had a petite and graceful figure, and her eyes, in particular, were filled with an ethereal quality, as if she were untouched by worldly affairs. She could truly be called a fairy.

This is Qian Yunrou.

The Exquisite Holy Maiden.

She is also known as the Number One Female Cultivator Under Heaven and the most beautiful woman in the world.

"Yunrou".

A voice rang out, sounding extremely crisp and languid. Inside the red gauze curtain, an incredibly slender hand rose, and even the red gauze could not conceal the extremely alluring scene.

"Master."

Qian Yunrou's voice rang out, so melodious and pleasant to hear, like a lingering melody, like flowing water and a song.

"Do you know why I invited Lu Changsheng to my Exquisite Holy Land?"

The languid voice of the Exquisite Holy Lord rang out.

Inside the main hall, Qian Yunrou shook her head directly and said, "This disciple does not know."

She possesses an ethereal quality, not as cold and aloof as an iceberg, but rather a serene and tranquil one, as if nothing could disturb her.

"You were originally an unparalleled genius. If you had cultivated diligently, you could have become an immortal in less than five hundred years. However, in order to achieve the supreme Dao, you resolutely chose to cultivate the Supreme Emotion Severing Dao, forgetting all emotions. But all these years, your cultivation has stagnated. Do you know why?"

The Exquisite Holy Lord Linglong asked.

"This disciple is unaware and hopes that Master will enlighten me."

Qian Yunrou answered calmly as always, but this calmness was not the kind of indifference devoid of emotion, but rather a kind of ethereal tranquility.

"To forget love, one must first have love. Only with love can one forget. You have been by my side since you were a child and have never been in contact with any man. You have never been in love. What do you mean by forgetting love? Do you understand what I am saying?"

"That's what the Exquisite Holy Lord said."

Qian Yunrou showed no emotional change, only a thoughtful look in her eyes. After a while, she shook her head and said, "I understand a little, but not very well."

Inside the red gauze tent, the Exquisite Holy Lord rose, stretched her limbs, and then, with her back to Qian Yunrou, "If you truly want to forget love, you must fall in love with someone and then forget him. However, I believe that no man in the world is worthy of you. This Lu Changsheng is not bad; he has caught my eye. That's why I invited him to my birthday celebration, to create some opportunities for you young people. Yunrou, remember what I said: only with love can one forget love; without love, how can one forget love? If you truly want to cultivate the Supreme Forgetful Path, you must love someone, climb a mountain, and chase a dream. Do you understand?"

The Exquisite Holy Lord said this.

Qian Yunrou remained silent in the main hall.

She doesn't know what love is.

I don't even know what love is.

But in the end, she stood up, bowed to the Exquisite Holy Lord, and then slowly said, "Disciple understands. When Senior Brother Lu arrives, disciple will try to fall in love with him and then choose to forget him."

Qian Yunrou said this.

The Exquisite Holy Lord shook her head and said, "Forgetting someone you love is difficult, but falling in love with someone is equally difficult. What if one day you really fall in love with him and can't forget him?"

She asked this question.

"If that day ever comes, then kill him."

Qian Yunrou answered calmly.

"Sigh!" The Exquisite Holy Lord sighed. She turned around and looked at Qian Yunrou. Through the red veil, her eyes were full of helplessness as she said, "When you truly fall in love with someone, you will find that you can't bear to hurt them at all."

"Love is like a tornado, no one can stop it, my foolish child. I don't want you to understand, but if you have already chosen this path, then if one day you really can't let go of this feeling, I will lend you a hand."

She said that.

Qian Yunrou nodded, and then asked curiously, "Master, have you ever loved someone?"

As the voice rang out, the Exquisite Holy Lord shook her head.

"I don't have any."

Her answer was very direct.

"How does Master know all this?"

Qian Yunrou asked calmly.

"Read more books, think more, and you'll understand."

Exquisite Holy Lord picked up a book from the ground titled "Your Majesty, Please Be Gentle" and said very seriously.

Qian Yunrou watched all of this.

She didn't quite understand, yet she seemed to understand some of it.

Night.

The Shu Gate Holy Land.

To entertain Lu Changsheng, the Shu Gate Holy Land set up a banquet with nine thousand tables, and all the disciples of the Holy Land participated in this grand feast.

On the main table.

Xu Jian raised his wine glass, looked at Lu Changsheng, and said, "Senior Brother Lu, Junior Brother Senior Brother Lu apologizes to you for his previous behavior!"

Xu Jian was very bold; he drank three cups in one go, which could be considered a self-punishment.

Lu Changsheng immediately raised his wine glass and drank three cups with Xu Jian.

There was no affectation or pretense.

After drinking together.

The two sat down.

Xu Jian then spoke up directly, "Senior Brother Lu, although you are young, your appearance, temperament, and realm are all unfathomable. I never thought that even in the sword path, Senior Brother Lu is so extraordinary. To be honest, Senior Brother Lu, your attainment of the Sword Immortal path has cut off my path, and I feel very bitter. But today, after hearing Senior Brother Lu's words, 'Where there's a will, there's a way,' I feel very generous. For this kindness, I want to toast Senior Brother Lu again."

After saying this, Xu Jian raised his glass and took another sip.

However, Xu Jian immediately refilled his glass and said earnestly, "Since I've met Senior Brother Lu, I'll have another cup."

"To see such a sight today, I'd like to have another drink to toast Senior Brother Lu."

"What a fine line! If Heaven had not given birth to Lu Changsheng, the path of swordsmanship would have been shrouded in eternal darkness. I'll have another cup."

Xu Jian was extremely polite, drinking one cup after another.

But as he drank, Lu Changsheng felt that something was wrong.

This guy seems to be trying to scam drinks.

However, considering that this was the Shu Gate Holy Land, Lu Changsheng couldn't bring himself to say the words "call for the area to be cleared."

After drinking dozens of cups, Xu Jian slowly spoke, "Senior Brother Lu, the once-in-a-century Heavenly Pride Gathering is coming up in a few days. I wonder if Brother Lu will participate?"

Xu Jian spoke, saying these words.

A once-in-a-century Heavenly Pride Gathering?

What for?

This might be something to consider for dating and flirting.

Seeing that Lu Changsheng seemed curious, Xu Jian immediately explained.

"Senior Brother Lu, you may not know this, but this once-in-a-century Heavenly Pride Gathering is extremely important to us. Firstly, it's the Heaven's Secret Sect Rankings's ranking selection, and secondly, the geniuses gathered here come from all over the world, from the Eastern Land, the South Ridge, the Western Desert, the North Pole, the Central Province, and even some Secluded Sects will send disciples. At that time, we'll see who's the best and who's not. If you want to compete for the top spot on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, Senior Brother Lu, you absolutely can't miss it."

Xu Jian said this.

Lu Changsheng immediately understood what this gathering was.

"Want to fight?"

Lu Changsheng asked earnestly.

"Of course we have to fight! How can we compete for the rankings if we don't fight?"

Xu Jian in a very domineering manner.

At that moment, Lu Changsheng took a sip of wine, then shook his head and said.

"I don't like fighting and killing, so go away."

He is very serious.

Just then, a figure walked over and appeared beside Lu Changsheng, saying, "Senior Brother Lu, the Holy Lord invites you."
