This day.
Lu Changsheng was drinking and eating the side dishes made by Ye Qiubai, and Qin Tiannan was sitting next to him.
" Uncle Qin, what brings you here again?"
Qin Tiannan looked at Lu Changsheng, who had a helpless expression, and scolded, "You brat, how can you talk like that? I finally finished dealing with things at the academy, can't I come here for a drink?"
"Don't worry, I'm not here to give you apprentices."
Lu Changsheng muttered a few words and looked at Hong Ying was still in the Celestial Person State, at the cliff edge.
"Why isn't it over yet? I suddenly have a craving for fish soup. Hong Ying's soup tastes better than Qiubai's. Maybe... I should wake her up?"
Yun Ming nearly fainted and hurriedly said, "Senior... no, this is the Celestial Person State. Forcibly waking him up would be counterproductive and could even backfire."
Over the past few days, Yun Ming no longer doubted Lu Changsheng's abilities.
But... why does it seem like Lu Changsheng doesn't understand many of the basic principles of cultivation?
Qin Tiannan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He was already used to Lu Changsheng's carefree attitude.
At this moment, Ye Qiubai returned.
As a top power in the Southern Region, the Hidden Dao Academy naturally possesses some special cultivation sites.
For example, the Sword Hall has a place for practicing Sword Dao.
There, lies a place where Sword Qi tempers the body.
Ye Qiubai has been cultivating there all these days.
Now, the Sword Qi within his body is even purer.
" Qiubai is back?" Qin Tiannan looked over.
Lu Changsheng knew that this brat's arrival must mean something!
Ye Qiubai walked over, first bowing to Lu Changsheng, then looking at Qin Tiannan and asking, "What is it, Dean?"
Qin Tiannan smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that you helped our Hidden Dao Academy win first place in the exchange competition, didn't you?"
Ye Qiubai nodded.
Qin Tiannan continued, "After each exchange, the four domains' Hidden Dao Academy can send one person to the main campus to cultivate for a period of time. That person is usually the one who made the greatest contribution during the exchange competition."
"Naturally, the resources at the main academy are far superior to ours. Training there for a period of time should benefit your Sword Dao."
The Hidden Dao Academy Main Academy is located in the Central Region, the most prosperous area for Martial Dao on this continent.
Strictly speaking, the Central Region cannot be considered a region.
It is a place where four regions meet, a place where sects stand in great numbers and Aristocratic Clan abound.
Martial Dao flourished greatly!
Therefore, it was called the Central Region.
This is why people usually say that mainland China only has four regions.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai's heart stirred.
What he needs now is not resources, but more practical experience.
Use real-world experience to validate your insights.
He then looked at Lu Changsheng, clearly asking for his opinion.
Lu Changsheng lay back in the bamboo chair and said casually, "Go if you want to."
Ye Qiubai then nodded.
Seeing this, Qin Tiannan smiled and stood up, saying, "Then come find me in three days. You should take care of your family matters first."
After saying that, Qin Tiannan left, taking a few bottles of wine from Lu Changsheng with him before he left.
Lu Changsheng "..."
Upon hearing Qin Tiannan's words, Ye Qiubai frowned slightly.
Housework?
Could it be that something has happened to the Ye Lineage?
With this in mind, Ye Qiubai bid farewell to Lu Changsheng and headed towards Heavenly Origin City!
Seemingly at Hong Ying's behest, Yun Ming also disappeared into the shadows after Ye Qiubai left.
The atmosphere in Heavenly Origin City was extremely oppressive at this moment!
The streets are usually bustling with countless vendors and shops.
Now, fallen leaves are fluttering in the air.
As Ye Qiubai walked down the street and witnessed this scene, his heart sank.
The sense of foreboding in my heart grew stronger.
The speed of their advance is also increasing.
Before even reaching the Ye Lineage, they could already see countless imperial guards standing watch at the gate.
Ye Qiubai's expression darkened, and he circulated his Cultivation Method, unknowingly slipping into the abyss.
now.
In the council hall, the Ye Lineage patriarch sat at the head of the table.
Among them, the First Elder asked, "Ancestor, where exactly did Ye Qing run off to?"
The Third Elder chimed in, "Now, the Heavenly Origin Imperial Dynasty is forcing our Ye Lineage to hand over Ye Qing. If we don't, the Imperial Guards will raze our Ye Lineage to the ground."
"Then our Ye Lineage will truly cease to exist!"
The Ye Lineage patriarch remained silent, his face grim, seemingly lost in thought.
Suddenly, he looked behind him and said, "Who is it?!"
Having said that, he was about to strike out with his palm when Ye Qiubai appeared and asked, "Where did my father go?"
Upon seeing this, the Ye Lineage patriarch withdrew his palm, frowned, and said, " Ye Qiubai? You've got some nerve. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
Ye Qiubai said calmly, "You can't kill me."
Upon hearing this, the Ye Lineage patriarch paused, his voice momentarily halting.
Indeed, Ye Qiubai had previously escaped using a sword of unknown rank but with an extremely terrifying aura.
Now that Ye Qiubai's cultivation level has increased, escaping from his grasp is not difficult at all.
The Ye Lineage patriarch let out a long breath and said to everyone, "You may all leave now."
The elders looked at each other in bewilderment.
Ye Qiubai noticed that the Grand Elder's eyes revealed resentment and malice before he left.
However, Ye Qiubai didn't pay any attention to it.
He looked at the old ancestor and asked, "Where did my father go?"
The Ye Lineage patriarch took a sip of tea and said, "He is currently in the Desolate City."
" Desolate City?"
The old patriarch nodded and said, "I was the one who sent him away."
Ye Qiubai was slightly surprised.
According to the patriarch's previous thinking, even if he wouldn't kill his father, he wouldn't protect him like this.
The Ye Lineage patriarch seemed to have seen through Ye Qiubai's thoughts, glanced at him, and said, "You don't need to be grateful to me. It's just that your talent changed my mind."
The reason I wanted to kill Ye Qiubai was to eliminate any future trouble.
However, since Ye Qiubai was not completely captured, the Ye Lineage patriarch did not dare to go too far and only removed Ye Qing from the position of family head.
During this time, I heard about Ye Qiubai's deeds outside.
In the Northern Region, he defeated Jian Chaomian, transcending his own realm.
Mastering the Sword Intent leads to becoming Great Sword Master!
Ye Qiubai's sudden rise to power was definitely due to the mysterious master behind him.
All of this made the Ye Lineage patriarch reconsider his thoughts.
I will no longer offend Ye Qiubai.
Otherwise, if Ye Qiubai grows up, the Ye Lineage might not be able to withstand his wrath!
Ye Qiubai naturally understood these principles, and then asked, "Then why did the Heavenly Origin Imperial Dynasty want to take my father away?"
The Ye Lineage patriarch was about to answer.
However, powerful auras descended from outside!
" Ye Qiubai, I originally intended to use your father to threaten you, but I didn't expect you to come out on your own initiative? That saves me trouble."
Ye Qiubai stepped out, looked at the figures above, and understood.
Standing beside the powerful figures of the Heavenly Origin Imperial Dynasty were several familiar faces.
Among them were offerings from the Sunset Dynasty that appeared in the Northern Region!
