Qingyi Comes to Be Master

Leaving Qinghe City, Jiang Qingyi and the others flew towards the capital of the Zhou Kingdom.

For a cultivator in the Ascension Realm like the Myriad Sword Sect Master, it would take at most three days to reach the Zhou Kingdom's capital if she wished.

But she didn't do so.

This wasn't because Huang Wei and Qiu Ye were only at the Nascent Soul Realm.

It was simply because the Myriad Sword Sect Master felt a slight unease in her heart.

Three thousand years...

She had been searching for three thousand years.

She had received news about him countless times before.

But each time, when she thought she was about to find him, the person she saw was not him.

Countless hopes and countless disappointments had gradually numbed her heart.

This time, it was calculated by the Heavenly Secrets City Lord.

The Heavenly Secrets City Lord's divination ability was the best in the world.

But "calculation" was still just "calculation."

No matter how powerful a person's divination ability was, it was still possible to make a mistake.

Just as the Myriad Sword Sect Master's thoughts were in turmoil, she saw a cluster of mountains embracing each other to her front left.

The Myriad Sword Sect Master's expression paused slightly, and then she flew towards the mountains.

Flying above the mountains, a sea of flowers came into the Myriad Sword Sect Master's view.

The Myriad Sword Sect Master's eyes flickered, and her figure gradually descended.

Huang Wei and Qiu Ye exchanged glances, not knowing what was wrong with their Sect Master, and could only follow her down.

The Myriad Sword Sect Master arrived at the sea of flowers.

She walked forward step by step.

This place was surrounded by mountains, forming a basin in the middle.

In the center of the sea of flowers was a clear blue lake.

Finally, the Myriad Sword Sect Master stopped in front of the sea of flowers.

In front of this lake, there was a stone.

Words were carved on the stone.

However, due to the ravages of time, the words on the stone were blurred and unclear, and the stone itself had weathered beyond recognition.

"Sect Master, is there anything special about this stone tablet?"

Qiu Ye walked up to the Sect Master and asked curiously.

"Do you know what this place is called?" The Myriad Sword Sect Master raised her eyes, her clear eyes reflecting the clear lake water.

Qiu Ye turned to look at Elder Huang. Elder Huang shook his head, his expression seeming to say, "Don't ask me, I don't know what this place is called either."

"This place is called 'Flower Cloud Sea'," the Myriad Sword Sect Master told her sword attendant.

"'Flower Cloud Sea'," Qiu Ye murmured softly, "What a nice name. Did you give it this name, Sect Master?"

The Myriad Sword Sect Master shook her head. "A man gave it this name."

"A man?" Qiu Ye asked, puzzled.

What kind of man could be on the Sect Master's mind?

"A man I must kill with my own hands!"

The Myriad Sword Sect Master's fair finger gently traced the carvings on the stone.

Qiu Ye looked again and again. From the blurred carvings, Qiu Ye seemed to faintly see the character "Xiao."

"Master, it's so beautiful here. It's really beautiful..."

The young girl shouted happily, her voice echoing through the valley.

In the sea of flowers, Jiang Qingyi flitted about like a butterfly.

It had been a year since she came out, and this was the first time Jiang Qingyi had seen such a beautiful place.

"Master, hurry up!" Jiang Qingyi shouted loudly to her Master behind her.

"Coming." Xiao Mo walked forward step by step, following behind his disciple.

"Wow, the lake water is so blue."

Jiang Qingyi walked to the edge of the lake, as if it wasn't just a lake, but a piece of the azure sky that an immortal had torn off and spread in the middle of the sea of flowers.

"It is indeed quite blue." Looking at the beautiful scenery, Xiao Mo nodded.

"Master, do you think we could live in seclusion here?" Jiang Qingyi turned around with her hands behind her back, looking sweetly at her Master. "This place is surrounded by mountains, and there isn't even a small path connecting to the outside. The Blood Butterfly Pavilion definitely won't find us."

"Silly girl." Xiao Mo reached out and gently tapped Jiang Qingyi's forehead.

Jiang Qingyi let out a yelp, clutching her head with both hands. "Master, it hurts. And I'm not stupid!"

"Didn't you say the path to the outside wasn't there? Then tell me, Master, how did we get in?"

"We flew in, of course~" Jiang Qingyi said happily.

It was because Xiao Mo and Jiang Qingyi were being chased, and the carriage was too slow.

So, half a month ago, after they were discovered by the Blood Butterfly Pavilion for the first time, they had decisively abandoned the carriage.

"You know we flew in, too," Xiao Mo chuckled. "Then tell me, can't the cultivators from the Blood Butterfly Pavilion fly?"

"..." Jiang Qingyi pouted. "Honestly, that damned Blood Butterfly Pavilion is like a persistent stain. I wanted to live in seclusion with Master."

"Alright, we'll leave after watching a bit longer. Those people from the Blood Butterfly Pavilion are probably catching up."

"Master, wait! Let's give this place a name?" Jiang Qingyi said cheerfully.

"Why would we need to name it?"

"Just give it a name, Master, please! This place is so beautiful."

"Fine, fine." Xiao Mo thought for a moment and casually picked a name. "Let's call it Flower Cloud Sea then."

"Flower Cloud Sea? Mmm! Let's call it Flower Cloud Sea~"

As she spoke, Jiang Qingyi drew the Xuan Shuang Long Sword and carved a few large characters on a rock by the lake:

[Flower Cloud Sea -- Master Xiao Mo and Disciple Jiang Qingyi visited here.]

After carving, Jiang Qingyi clapped her hands. "Master, from today on, this place is our secret base~ Only the two of us will know about it.

Disciple has heard that after people die, they reincarnate.

After reincarnation, they forget everything.

If one day, I reincarnate, or Master reincarnates, and we come to a place like this, we must remember each other~

At that time, I'll still be Master's disciple."

"Let's not bother with that," Xiao Mo shook his head.

"Eh?" Jiang Qingyi grabbed Master's arm. "Why not, Master? Don't you want to remember Qingyi?"

"It's not that. I just feel being your Master is a bit tiring," Xiao Mo flicked Jiang Qingyi's forehead. "I want to take it easy in the next life."

"Is that so~ Then it's okay~"

Jiang Qingyi hugged Xiao Mo's arm, her head resting on his shoulder.

"If that day comes, Master, don't be Master anymore. Qingyi will be Master's Master."

"Alright," Xiao Mo ruffled her hair. "Then in the next life, you'll have to take good care of me, Master, and don't let other fellow disciples bully me."

"Master won't have other fellow disciples."

"Why?"

"Because in this life, Master only has me as a disciple."

Jiang Qingyi's eyes curved.

"So in the next life, Qingyi will only have Master."
