The next day, Bai Qiuran was awakened by the sound of gongs and drums outside the courtyard.

He glanced cautiously beside him and, finding that Su Xiangxue was still asleep, tucked her in and quietly got out of bed.

"They're here, they're here, what's going on here?"

He got dressed, went to the courtyard gate, opened it, and found that all the Azure Nether Sword Sect, from the Grand Elder and Sect Master to the Elder, were outside, smiling at him.

Bai Qiuran blinked and looked up at the hazy light in the sky.

Do you know what time it is?

"Reporting to Martial Ancestor Uncle."

Daoist Zhufeng cupped his hands and said, "It is currently the end of the Yin hour (3-5 AM)."

"You know it's the end of the Yin hour..."

Bai Qiuran closed the courtyard gate, walked out of the courtyard, crossed her arms, and looked at the group of younger people.

"What are you all doing here? Have you all gone mad? It's not even dawn yet, who the hell is up except for the night watch disciples?"

"Reporting to Martial Ancestor Uncle."

Jueyunzi cupped his hands and said, "The morning lessons for the new disciples have begun..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Qiuran kicked him away, and the screams of the Qingming Sect Master echoed in the distant sky.

Because the initial disciples of the Azure Nether Sword Sect are mostly at the Qi Refining Stage.

Bai Qiuran, with a kind smile, turned around and looked at the Grand Elder and the other Elder, asking gently, "I'll ask you one more time, what are you here for?"

The Elder trembled with fear, but at the critical moment, it Grand Elder Daoist Zhufeng, who had the strongest mental fortitude, who stepped forward and presented a gift box with both hands.

"Naturally, we've come to congratulate our Martial Ancestor Uncle on his breakthrough in cultivation."

"Breakthrough what?"

Bai Qiuran felt a little pleased upon hearing this, but outwardly he waved his hand and said, "I haven't reached the Foundation Establishment Stage yet."

He turned around and pushed open the courtyard gate, but the little heads of Tang Ruowei and Li Jinyao peeked out from inside.

Neither of the two girls had combed their hair; their long hair was loose. They looked around for a moment, and then Tang Ruowei asked Bai Qiuran, "Master, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing, it's just Zhu Feng and the others."

Bai Qiuran waved his hand and looked behind the two girls. There, Su Xiangxue had just pushed open his door and walked out.

Fortunately, Daoist Zhufeng and his companions had diverted the attention of Tang Ruowei and Li Jinyao. Otherwise, if that girl had seen Su Xiangxue come out of his room, she would have annoyed him to death for the next few days.

"Martial Ancestor Uncle, please wait."

At this moment, the Sixth Elder called out from behind Bai Qiuran.

What are you doing?

Bai Qiuran turned around and looked at them.

"Although our Martial Ancestor Uncle still one step short, hasn't he already learned Sword Flight?"

Elder Liu Yun stepped forward, chuckling, "Then let's congratulate our Martial Ancestor Uncle on successfully mastering the art of Sword Flight. Masters, senior brothers and sisters, don't you agree?"

Daoist Zhufeng and the Elder of the Azure Nether Sword Sect nodded hurriedly.

"Junior Sister really knows how to say nice things."

Bai Qiuran secretly pleased with himself for learning to Sword Flight, and hearing their boasting made him even more excited. So he coughed and said, "Alright then, considering your filial piety..."

He accepted the gifts from the Elder. These guys knew their place; they knew that giving him valuable treasures would be useless to him. They probably just gave him some novelties as a way to show filial piety and curry favor.

However, when receiving the gifts, the Sixth Elder Qing Yun gave out two.

"This one is for our Sect Master leader."

As she handed over the other gift, she explained in a low voice, "He figured he was going to get beaten up, so he gave me the gift first."

"At least they have self-awareness."

Bai Qiuran nodded.

He accepted the gifts, and the Elder all took their leave, as they had sect affairs to attend to the next morning.

However, just as the Elder were about to take off, the Fourth Elder suddenly caught sight of Su Xiangxue walking out of the courtyard.

Although the sect Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect behaved as usual, the Fourth Elder, being a master who had already broken through to the Body Integration Stage, could still see the slight incoordination in her steps.

The Fourth Elder first lowered his head in thought, then looked at Su Xiangxue with a look of astonishment. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Bai Qiuran with a look of horror.

"Um?"

Bai Qiuran noticed his gaze and asked suspiciously, "Fourth Brother, what kind of look is that? Did you go out with the Painting Sage to sell notebooks again?"

"Oh, no, no."

The Fourth Elder, clutching his stomach, shook his head and said, "Well, Martial Ancestor Uncle, I suddenly feel a stomachache. It's probably from taking the Fifth Elder's fake medicine. I'll head back to the Main Peak now."

"What?!"

The Fifth Elder roared, "Fourth Brother, you're talking nonsense! What medicine did you drink?"

However, the Fourth Elder ignored him and flew straight away from Seven Star Peak.

The Elder bid farewell to Bai Qiuran one by one and flew back to the Qingming Sect Main Peak. However, just as they were about to approach the Qingming Sect Main Peak, they discovered that the Fourth Elder, who had just left, was hiding by a secluded cliff and beckoning to them.

What kind of trick is the fourth brother up to?

Daoist Zhufeng was puzzled, but he still led his disciples down to the ground.

As soon as they landed, the Fourth Elder came forward and said to his master and fellow disciples, "Incredible! The iron tree has truly blossomed!"

What does that mean?

Daoist Zhufeng looked at his disciple, Zi Hetu Shu.

"Speak clearly!"

"That's right, just now this disciple saw..."

The Fourth Elder revealed his speculations to his fellow disciples and masters.

"Really?"

After listening, Daoist Zhufeng looked at his disciple with astonishment and uncertainty.

"Fourth brother, if any problems arise in the future, you will be held responsible. If your prediction is wrong, then you are spreading rumors and causing trouble, and the target of which is our Martial Ancestor Uncle. It would be a small matter for Jueyun and me to punish you with confinement."

"Master, with the discerning eye honed through years of experience in the mortal realm, it is absolutely true."

The Fourth Elder cupped his hands and said, "Sect Master Su's gait is clearly that of a virgin on her first night..."

"Fourth Senior Brother is very experienced."

The Seventh Elder gave him a look of utter disdain.

"I've seen pigs run before, that's all."

The Fourth Elder coughed twice and said in a low voice, "Seventh Junior Sister, please be understanding of the old man. After all, we need material for our writing..."

"But if that's really the case..."

The Elder exchanged bewildered glances, and for a moment, only the sound of gasps filled the air on the cliff.

"Gentlemen."

Daoist Zhufeng looked at the Elder.

"We may have... witnessed history!"

A sense of sacredness arose in the hearts of the Elder of the Azure Nether Sword Sect, and they nodded solemnly.

"But Master."

The Second Elder hesitated and said, "Now that we're talking about it, isn't Sect Master Su of the Hehuan Sect our future Martial Ancestor Uncle? Should we change how we address her when we meet her?"

"No need."

Daoist Zhufeng instructed, "Remember, we don't need to change our titles. If we do, we might get a beating from our Martial Ancestor Uncle. But when you see Sect Master Su in the future, you must be polite and treat her as our Martial Ancestor Uncle. Does everyone understand?"
