Xu Changqing looked thoughtful. "I vaguely remember it. What is it?"
In truth, he had long forgotten, but seeing the earnest look in Ruo Qunshuang's eyes, he naturally would not spoil the mood.
Ruo Qunshuang took a deep breath before continuing. "When I invited you that time, I actually wanted to search for the Nine-Bend Sect's treasure vault."
Xu Changqing was astonished. "A treasure vault?"
"Mm."
Ruo Qunshuang nodded, then said softly, "Other than my father, I'm the only one who knows this secret.
The Nine-Bend Sect left behind a treasure vault containing a great amount of spirit stones, resources, and several lost cultivation methods and spells.
Most importantly, it contains two maps.

The other is an explored Underground Waters Map, containing countless heavenly treasures and earthly materials."
Xu Changqing came to a realization after hearing that. "This is the foundation of your Nine-Bend Sect!"
There was a trace of wistfulness in Ruo Qunshuang's voice. "The first time I went, I was unexpectedly interrupted.
So, I wanted to wait until my cultivation had stabilized before making another trip.
But that wait lasted a full ten years."
Xu Changqing gently patted her back and comforted her. "It's all right. When we have time in the future, I'll personally go with you to the ruins of the Nine-Bend Sect."
Now, both of them had reached the Earth-Grade Golden Core.
Outside, whenever someone of lower standing encountered them, they had to respectfully address them as "True Person."
Their status and realms had both risen, not to mention their current strength.
A smile appeared on Ruo Qunshuang's face. "All right."
She had actually always felt guilty inside, as though she owed Xu Changqing.
From the moment they confirmed their relationship
