Gu's Secret

Although Ancestor Jiuyu possessed peerless talent and unmatched wisdom, she had to admit that the ascender competing with her for the position of Sect Master held just the tiniest bit more of an advantage in this regard...

Of course she had to get to know him properly!

"I don't care whether you're curious or have some other reason—if you want to come along, you'd better behave yourself."

That damn fish's thought process could be this bizarre sometimes, and Li Ke could not be bothered to argue with her.

In any case, it was no big deal.

"You still have to take part in the Immortal Sect Grand Competition. Remember to arrange your time properly."

"Mm-hm!" Chi Jiuyu nodded at once. "Don't worry, you've watched me grow up since I was little. Don't you trust me?"

"..." Li Ke fell silent for two seconds. "Get lost."

"Sure thing."

With a mischievous giggle, she turned and ran out.

Li Ke watched her back vanish through the doorway. More than ten seconds later, she rose and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window.

The blue sky was washed clean, without the slightest trace of cloud at the horizon.

Soon, a streak of sword-rainbow, trailing a brilliant tail of runes, shot into the heavens and swept toward the distance.

Come to think of it, it was strange.

She had watched that damn fish grow up, yet she truly had no idea when she had first set her heart on becoming the Sword Sect's Sect Master.

Whenever she heard anything about the Sect Master, she became extraordinarily enthusiastic...

"What's so good about being Sect Master?"

Li Ke rubbed her brow.

Just being the head of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall was troublesome enough for her.
