"Guixu... The Master..." A trace of gravity flashed through Leng Ningshuang's cool eyes. "This is far more serious than you imagine. The Shuiyue Token is not merely a token of Shuiyue Peak's inheritance—it is also a key. Blood Fiend Hall seized it at any cost; their scheme is certainly not as simple as ushering in the descent of their so-called Master's will."
Her tone was stern. "Lin Ye, you saved Shui Linglong and rendered a service to Shuiyue Peak. But because of that, you have also been drawn into this vortex. The matter of Guixu has far-reaching implications. With your current cultivation, the more you know, the more dangerous it becomes."
"This disciple understands." Lin Ye lowered his head in reply. Of course he knew it was dangerous. But some things could not be avoided simply because one wished to hide from them.
"You understand, then." Leng Ningshuang nodded slightly, but her tone abruptly shifted. "The cultivation art you practice is exceedingly peculiar. The path of stellar annihilation was inherently a perilous road filled with destruction and solitude. One misstep, and you could die with your Dao extinguished—or even fall into the demonic path. Since you have entered the Qingyun Sect and rendered a service to Shuiyue Peak, I will give you a choice."
"A choice?" Lin Ye raised his eyes to look at her.
"Leave Sword-Wielding Peak and enter Shuiyue Peak under my tutelage." Leng Ningshuang's tone was calm. "Although Shuiyue Peak mainly consists of female disciples, we do not refuse male disciples. With your temperament and potential, you are more than qualified to become a true disciple of my peak. I can personally regulate your true qi, resolve the hidden dangers within your cultivation art, and teach you our peak's supreme sword Dao, the Ice Soul Mysterious Heart
