Xie Feng blinked. "Didn't they say she wasn't short-tempered...?"
Xiao Sword Dao, "Don't try to guess what a woman is thinking!"
Xie Feng: "..."
He was careless!
He touched his nose and chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, don't mind me, I wasn't saying you look old, I'm just a little nearsighted!"
"I didn't do anything wrong, you don't need to be so guilty, I'm not angry at all."
As she spoke, Long Cangxue smiled, raised her hand, and the Little Sword immediately screamed and flew into the air, then crashed to the ground with a bang, creating a large hole.
Long Cangxue said, "If you add fuel to the fire again, there won't be a next time!"
She had only made a slight mental complaint because she was speechless.
She would have forgotten about it soon, but Little Sword took the initiative to hit Xie Feng, amplifying her meaning: such a little bastard, who else should it hit if not this one?
"Okay! Why are you being so fierce..."
Little Sword flew out of the pit, trembling as it hid behind Xie Feng, no longer daring to utter a word.
"Oh, right, my second senior brother said he asked me to give you his regards!" Xie Feng said.
"Second Senior Brother?"
Long Cangxue's slender eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
" Devil Emperor, Ge Ya!"
"Oh, I've seen him before. That guy's got a chubby face and he's kind of annoying."
"..."
Xie Feng fell silent; this didn't sound like a compliment at all...
Seriously, this isn't a compliment, is it?!
Xie Feng then asked, "You and Master are friends, do you know where Master is?"
"The moment you appeared, I instantly felt my age and seniority rise..."
Long Cangxue muttered a complaint under her breath, then asked in return, "What do you think of your second senior brother's strength?"
Xie Feng said, "Powerful!"
Long Cangxue said, "If one day your strength can rival or even surpass Ge Ya's, then you will be able to see your master!"
Xie Feng asked, "Why?!"
Long Cangxue said, "There's no reason why!"
"Has something happened to Master?"
Xie Feng couldn't help but think of those white lightning bolts from back then!
"This is none of your business!"
Long Cangxue's tone suddenly became stern, and she abruptly interrupted the conversation!
Xie Feng frowned, a strange emotion welling up inside him, an indescribable sadness. He didn't know if it was self-reproach for his past, for remaining narrow-minded and unable to reach the full extent of sorrow, or worry and longing for his master...
He had struggled for so long, achieving fame, fortune, and power, yet he still felt that the world was far more vast than he could have imagined!
There are trillions of planets and worlds in the universe, as vast as sand and unfathomable. To become powerful enough, one must travel a much longer and farther!
Xie Feng lowered his eyes, his fingers unconsciously clenching. Seeing this, Long Cangxue's eyes flickered slightly. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but then stopped herself.
"There's more good news, do you want to hear it?" Long Cangxue asked.
"Isn't it good news to improve Xiao Shang's physique?" Xie Feng was taken aback.
"That was fortuitous opportunity I personally gave her. What I'm about to say is related to your master..."
As she spoke, Long Cangxue took out a black leaf. "This is a birthday gift from your master, but you need Primordial Bamboo to obtain it. Give this leaf to Primordial Bamboo, and you will know what the gift is!"
Xie Feng took the leaf, feeling a touch of emotion. He was absolutely certain that his perception was correct; his master had always been by his side, silently watching over him!
But...
If his master is alright, why doesn't he come out?
Why are his disciples nowhere to be seen?
Why are you so insistent on going to him?!
There must be a reason for this!
Xie Feng looked at the cool, jade-like leaf in his hand. Long Cangxue said to go find Primordial Bamboo. Primordial Bamboo is the Purple Bamboo on the highest peak of the Xuanji Sect. Xuanji Sect is in the Upper Realm!
In other words, he still has to go back to the Upper Realm!
He felt a faint sense of anticipation; what gift would his master give him?
"I've said my piece, delivered the gift, and now it's my turn to go! Xie Feng, I'll remember your name."
Long Cangxue's silver robes fluttered in the wind, causing maple leaves to rustle, and her voice suddenly took on a touch of etherealness.
Phew!
Right now!
A huge silver phoenix flew in from the horizon!
The phoenix feathers were cold, seemingly made of steel, each feather distinct and sharp. Its magnificent tail feathers swept across the sky, carving out black cracks in the space!
It swooped down, stirring up towering waves, shaking the maple forest, and swirling dust. The phoenix's eyes were sharp and cold, yet it didn't look like a cold machine!
This is a contracted beast combined with a mecha!
Its oppressive aura terrified everyone present. Even the slightest leak of its aura was enough to be accurately perceived, demonstrating that this phoenix was just as powerful as the Extreme Dao Sword!
It is the Extreme Dao Phoenix!
Xie Feng recalled that when Long Cangxue appeared before, she was accompanied by a cool Great Dao Beast!
They've all transformed into even more dazzling Extreme Dao Phoenix!
"Its Little Silver, and it's my pet." Phoenix lowered its proud head, letting Long Cangxue stroke it. "It's getting late; we should go."
As he spoke, he gracefully climbed onto the phoenix's back.
Changying, Mian'er, and the old man in the straw raincoat went up together.
"Sect Master, Xiao Shang, Little Sword, goodbye! Think of me while I'm gone!" Changying waved with a smile.
"Sister Changying, we're waiting for you to come back stronger!"
Xiao Shang waved her hands, tilting her head back as far as she could. In her big, round eyes, she saw a phoenix flying towards the horizon. The phoenix grew smaller and smaller, more and more blurry, until it finally merged into the sky...
In the maple forest, all is silent as the wind blows.
Sushang lowered his head, pouted sullenly, and kicked the leaves at his feet listlessly.
No one will play with her anymore...
A little melancholy...
I wonder if Changying can drink with Long Cangxue. That pretty lady looks very strict and cold...
Sushang was filled with worry until a large hand covered her soft head, and Xie Feng rubbed her head.
"Parting has always been painful, but Xiao Shang, don't be too sad. Actually, you need to learn to get used to this kind of separation, especially when you don't know when someone will come back. Perhaps, in the future, we will all be like this..."
Sushang stood on tiptoe and tried to cover Xie Feng's mouth. Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and her eyes reddened. "That's for later. I don't care about now!"
Xie Feng nodded.
Sushang carefully lowered his hand.
Wow!
"My goodness, this is so touching!"
Little Sword lay on the ground, crying uncontrollably. Large amounts of water flowed from the part of its hilt that resembled an eye, and the water flowed continuously, soon engulfing Dark Ink Mountain.
"Dean!"
At this moment, Han Yu waded over, somewhat puzzled, "Why is there so much water all of a sudden? It hasn't rained!"
Xie Feng asked, "What's wrong?"
" Shui Yunjun has arrived!" Han Yu said.
Xie Feng nodded slightly, and he led Little Sword and Sushang back to the main courtyard of the academy. Shui Yunjun, dressed in a white fur coat and a long, flowing gown, stood in the courtyard, exuding unparalleled nobility.
