Lu Xueqi's Heart Trembles? You're Doomed! You've Fallen in Love!

The meeting between Wan Jianyi and Ye Changfeng was very casual.

Nothing like 'swordsmen recognizing each other's talent and having to fight' happened along the way—after all, although Wan Jianyi could still be called a swordsman, his Sword Heart had long since died...

Died three hundred years ago.

A dead man.

What else was there to care about?

Heaven-Reaching Peak, Yuqing Hall.

The Seven Peaks' Masters gathered here overnight.

Because... the entire Qingyun Sect was now in an uproar.

True Lord Daoxuan sat at the head.

His expression was extremely grim, his gaze fixed ahead, and he did not speak for the time being.

The other Masters around him also wore grave expressions.

Especially Shui Yue'er.

She radiated a biting coldness.

Even Tian Buyi beside her couldn't help but shift his seat.

After a moment.

A disciple walked in from outside the hall.

It was none other than Chang Jian of Heaven-Reaching Peak.

His face filled with terror, he bowed to True Lord Daoxuan and reported, "Master, this disciple led many junior brothers to investigate all seven peaks of Qingyun overnight, and on every peak, traces of Demonic Cult Fiends hiding were found..."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Yuqing Hall fell into a sudden silence.

The atmosphere grew extremely tense.

"I understand."

"You may withdraw."

True Lord Daoxuan waved his hand lightly.

After Chang Jian left.

Cangsong Daoist spoke first.

He bowed to True Lord Daoxuan with a face full of guilt and admitted fault, saying, "Sect Leader Brother, tonight's fault lies with me. I failed to properly arrange the sect's defense patrols, giving the Demonic Cult Fiends an opportunity to infiltrate..."

Hearing this.

True Lord Daoxuan's eyes flickered slightly.

As for how the Demonic Cult Fiends had managed to infiltrate Qingyun Sect?

He had thought about it carefully for a long time.

In the end, only the word 'traitor' fit the situation.

But, Who was the traitor?

True Lord Daoxuan stared intently at Cangsong before him.

Although he did have some suspicions about him, He simply couldn't believe it.

That Cangsong would truly betray him, betray Qingyun Sect.

Perhaps...

It was all just a coincidence?

Or perhaps the traitor was someone else?

True Lord Daoxuan comforted himself inwardly.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to accept reality, but Cangsong had helped him too much over these three hundred years. The reason he had been able to quietly break through to the Supreme Purity Realm was because Cangsong had handled most of his affairs...

Allowing him to find time to cultivate.

How could someone like Cangsong, who devoted himself wholeheartedly to Qingyun Sect, possibly betray it?

Shui Yue'er spoke coldly, her face expressionless.

"Senior Brother Cangsong, do you realize that your negligence nearly allowed the Demonic Cult Fiends to overrun the Qingyun Sect!?"

The number one righteous sect under heaven!

And yet it was almost breached by a night raid from the Demonic Cult?

What a bitter irony!

To be honest.

Aside from True Lord Daoxuan.

Almost no one connected this Demonic Cult night raid to a 'traitor'—after all, those present were all Peak Masters, beings who loathed evil as if it were their mortal enemy...

How could any of them possibly betray the sect to join the Demonic Cult?

Cangsong Daoist had counted on this very fact. He was certain that the Qingyun Sect members would not suspect 'betrayal,' so he chose to take the blame proactively...

Defining tonight's events as an accident.

Of course.

Deep down, he still felt some unease.

After all, the look True Lord Daoxuan had just given him was truly chilling.

"Junior Sister Shui Yue."

"Tonight's mistake is mine."

Cangsong Daoist let out a soft sigh.

Hearing this.

Shui Yue gave a cold snort.

Thankfully, her precious disciple had not suffered anything too serious.

Otherwise, she would never let Cangsong off easily.

True Lord Daoxuan's gaze flickered faintly.

He did not bring up the matter of the traitor, intending instead to investigate in secret...

"Junior Sister Shui Yue."

"How is Niece Xueqi's injury? How much longer until she wakes?"

True Lord Daoxuan inquired.

In truth, everyone present was more concerned about another matter tonight.

Who exactly had slain the Longevity Hall assassin Zhou Yin on Little Bamboo Peak?

And then saved Lu Xueqi?!

On this point.

The Seven Peaks' Masters all had their own speculations.

After all.

The answer was already quite clear.

The green robe left at the scene, the extraordinary Sword Dao Cultivation, the secret rescue of Lu Xueqi... a series of events pointed directly to the identity of the person.

The one who killed Longevity Hall's Zhou Yin.

Should be the Azure Cloud Sect Leader exposed in the Heavenly Curtain.

The future husband of Lu Xueqi.

The one known as the Number One Sword Immortal Under Heaven.

At this moment.

Many of the Peak Masters were curious about 'his' identity.

Thus.

They had all been waiting for Lu Xueqi to awaken, because she was the only one present who had a chance to see 'his' true face.

Shui Yue pondered and said, "Xueqi's injuries have stabilized, but when she will wake up is unknown."

True Lord Daoxuan nodded slightly.

"Tap—"

But just then.

A hurried sound of footsteps came from outside Yuqing Hall.

"Disciple Wen Min requests an audience."

A respectful voice rang out.

Hearing this.

True Lord Daoxuan and his party's eyes lit up.

"Enter."

As soon as the words fell.

Wen Min quickly walked into Yuqing Hall.

She bowed to the many Masters on the high platform, then said, "Master, Xueqi has awakened."

The many Masters exchanged glances.

True Lord Daoxuan said with a smile, "Since Niece Xueqi has awakened, let us all go to Little Bamboo Peak together to see her."

Hearing this.

Wen Min's heart jolted.

All Seven Peaks' Masters going to Little Bamboo Peak to visit Lu Xueqi!?

This...

What an immense honor indeed.

Wen Min did not know what had happened on Moon Gazing Platform.

If she had known?

Then she would understand why the Seven Peaks' Masters were so solemn!

Little Bamboo Peak, Quiet Bamboo Pavilion.

This was Master Shuiyue's residence.

Lu Xueqi woke faintly from her coma, her complexion deathly pale, her slender body limp and weak, feeling a sharp pain in her back.

"Ah..."

The cold and aloof girl couldn't help but sob softly.

She stared blankly at her surroundings, immediately realizing this was Quiet Bamboo Pavilion, and the vigilance in her heart gradually relaxed.

At the same time.

The memories from not long ago surged into her mind.

Lu Xueqi sat in a daze, lost in thought.

She recalled the scenes before she fell unconscious, and a green-robed figure suddenly appeared in her mind.

He wore a fluttering green robe, his figure tall and straight, black hair draped over his shoulders, a jawline carved like a blade, an indifferent voice, and a pair of eyes filled with concern...

At this moment.

Lu Xueqi's heart trembled lightly.

Who was he?

There was no doubt about it!

He was--

The future Sect Leader of Qingyun Sect!

And also her never-before-met husband!

Lu Xueqi lowered her gaze slightly.

She tried hard to recall his features.

But unfortunately...

'His' face remained blurry.

Until now, Lu Xueqi had only remembered 'his' voice.

And a green robe.

Thinking of this.

Lu Xueqi instinctively looked down.

She saw that her slender body was covered with a green robe, still stained with specks of blood.

At this moment.

Lu Xueqi's pretty face flushed slightly.

Her heart pounded fiercely, her clear, cold eyes softened like water, and she instinctively clutched the green robe tightly, recalling the warmth of being held in 'his' arms before she lost consciousness...

At this moment.

If Wen Min had been present.

She would probably have teased with a smile: "Xueqi, you're done for, you've fallen in love!"
