Time flew by.

More than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The atmosphere within the Qingyun Sect had shed its usual solemnity and gradually become increasingly lively. The Seven Peaks Disciples were exceptionally excited because...

The once-in-sixty-years Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament had arrived.

Great Bamboo Peak.

Before Shoujing Hall.

Song Daren and the others had gathered there.

They eagerly discussed the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament, occasionally glancing into the hall as they waited for Tian Buyi and Su Ru to appear.

Ye Changfeng leaned lazily against one side.

Compared to the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament...

He was actually more curious about what information the new round of the Heavenly Curtain would expose.

'If I calculate the time...'

'Three months should be about up.'

'The Second Heavenly Curtain's exposure should be starting soon.'

Ye Changfeng slightly raised his eyes.

He looked toward the Heavenly Curtain above the sky.

By now, quite a few people across the entire Divine Continent were probably anticipating the new round of the Heavenly Curtain's exposure.

"Swish!"

Just then.

Several footsteps sounded from within Shoujing Hall.

A charming figure in red was the first to emerge.

Tian Ling'er floated out in a red robe, her figure slender. A strip of Amber Vermilion Silk was tied around her tiny waist, so slim it could not bear a single grasp. Her entire person radiated youthful vitality, and her bright, watery eyes immediately fell on Ye Changfeng.

"Hey!"

"Ye Changfeng!"

"Do I look pretty today?"

The energetic Little Girl felt that she had dressed especially beautifully today. She eagerly ran up to Ye Changfeng, blinking at him with an expression that clearly said, 'Hurry up and praise me.'

Hearing this.

Ye Changfeng raised his brows.

He had been thinking about the Heavenly Curtain.

So he merely glanced up at her casually and replied perfunctorily, "Pretty, pretty. Little Senior Sister is beautiful every day..."

The smile on Tian Ling'er's face froze.

"Ye! Chang! Feng!"

Fuming, she stepped forward, intending to punish this Junior Brother for his perfunctory answer.

However, At that moment.

Tian Buyi and Su Ru emerged.

Although Tian Buyi was dressed very formally, it still could not conceal the flesh on his face. Su Ru, on the other hand, was quite stunning...

She wore an elegant dark green gown. Her figure was graceful, slender, and tall, while a trace of gentleness flickered across her dignified, lovely face. Her eyes glistened, and her beautiful hair draped over her shoulders. Standing beside Tian Buyi, the two were practically opposites.

"Ling'er."

Su Ru called Tian Ling'er with a smile, stopping her from making a fuss. At the same time, she turned her gaze toward Ye Changfeng and asked:

"Changfeng."

"Do you really not need a Magic Treasure?"

At present, everyone on Great Bamboo Peak had a Magic Treasure.

Even Zhang Xiaofan had a Fire Poker.

Only Ye Changfeng's hands were completely empty. Su Ru had originally intended to pass the Ink Snow Divine Sword down to him, but Ye Changfeng had ultimately refused it.

Because he planned to find some materials himself.

Then forge a Natal Flying Sword that belonged to him alone.

Other people's Magic Treasures...

They always felt somewhat awkward to use.

"Master's Wife."

Ye Changfeng casually pulled a Bamboo Sword from behind his back, fastened it at his waist, and said with a smile, "I'll just use this for now..."

Everyone looked over.

The Bamboo Sword in Ye Changfeng's hand emitted a faint spiritual aura. It seemed to be an ordinary Magic Treasure forged from a stalk of Spirit Bamboo!?

Su Ru gave a slight nod and said nothing more.

She knew Ye Changfeng's plans. Once this Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament was over, he intended to head down the mountain to search for materials to forge a Magic Treasure...

"Let's go."

Tian Buyi was the first to rise into the air on his sword.

Ye Changfeng sidled up to Tian Ling'er and said, "Little Senior Sister, give me a lift?"

"Hmph!"

Tian Ling'er let out a somewhat haughty snort.

She turned her head away, unwilling to pay attention to that annoying fellow Ye Changfeng. Yet she did not leave right away, instead remaining where she was as though waiting for something...

Seeing this.

Ye Changfeng immediately understood.

Having spent so much time with this Little Girl, Tian Ling'er, he naturally knew what she meant. She merely wanted him to sweet-talk her a little and coax her.

With that in mind.

Ye Changfeng promptly moved closer.

Before long, he had the haughty Tian Ling'er beaming with delight.

"Hmph, hmph!"

"Get on already!"

The haughty Little Girl brought out Amber Vermilion Silk.

Then she carried Ye Changfeng all the way toward Heaven-Reaching Peak.

Heaven-Reaching Peak.

As Qingyun Sect's main peak.

This place had specifically established a No-Fly Array.

No one was permitted to fly overhead on a sword. Otherwise, they would be indiscriminately attacked by the array; at best, they would suffer severe injuries, and at worst, their lives could be at risk...

Whoosh!

Streams of Sword Light descended onto the mountainside of Heaven-Reaching Peak.

Tian Buyi instructed the many disciples to wait outside, then headed to Yuqing Hall together with Su Ru.

Ye Changfeng stood amid the crowd, feeling rather bored.

Suddenly, A burst of commotion came from nearby.

Looking ahead, he saw numerous female disciples approaching in groups from afar. Every one of them was young and beautiful, and the moment they appeared, they drew the attention of everyone present.

"They're the Junior Sisters from Little Bamboo Peak!"

The eyes of the surrounding Seven Peaks Disciples lit up.

Just then.

They seemed to notice something.

Their gazes shifted to the front of the Little Bamboo Peak group.

There stood a young woman with an icy, detached temperament.

She wore a flowing White Dress, tall and slender, with Beautiful Hair draped over her shoulders. Her face was like jade, her clothes like snow. Her clear eyes continuously searched the surroundings, carrying a faint hint of anticipation...

"Is that her?"

"Lu Xueqi!"

The surrounding Qingyun Disciples immediately recognized Lu Xueqi.

They promptly began discussing her.

Whispers constantly echoed through the crowd.

Most of them, however, were talking about how Lu Xueqi was the future Sect Leader's Wife of Qingyun Sect.

After all, This matter had already spread throughout the Divine Land.

"Hmm?"

Ye Changfeng was slightly taken aback.

He looked at the Cold and Aloof Girl in the distance.

He had not expected that she had not gone to Yuqing Hall with Master Shuiyue.

No...

Ye Changfeng noticed Lu Xueqi's gaze.

She had been scanning the surrounding crowd, as though searching for something.

Is she looking for me?

Ye Changfeng raised an eyebrow slightly.

Although he had not shown his true face that night.

Still...

He felt that if he stood before Lu Xueqi.

She should be able to recognize him.

At that thought.

A trace of curiosity rose in Ye Changfeng's heart.

Could she...

Recognize him?

Although Ye Changfeng did not wish to expose himself, as that would bring quite a bit of trouble, he was not particularly opposed to revealing himself to Lu Xueqi.

After all, she was his Future Wife.

So what if he was exposed?

With that thought in mind.

Ye Changfeng stood amid the crowd.

His deep gaze turned toward Lu Xueqi in the distance.

Whoosh!

As though their hearts were connected.

Lu Xueqi immediately sensed an unusual gaze, and her eyes instantly followed that feeling.

Could it be him...

The Cold and Aloof Girl stared blankly ahead.

Amid the distant crowd stood a White-Clad Youth. He was tall and straight, with sword-like brows and starry eyes. His sharply sculpted jaw looked somewhat familiar, especially those deep eyes...

Thump!

Lu Xueqi's heart trembled.

It was him!

It was definitely him!
