Jianxin stood still, silent.
Su Chen didn't say anything more, and quietly looked at Jianxin.
Time passed second by second, and Jianxin looked at Su Chen, "Master, I won't do it again."
Su Chen smiled. "Yes, now I believe you've figured it out."
Jianxin immediately knelt down, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Master."
Su Chen shook his head and helped Jianxin up. "It's good that you know. I just hope you won't cause me any more trouble in the future."
Jianxin smiled. "No more."
Su Chen said, "That would be best."
He then looked at Zhou Qian'er and said, "Speak, what are your demands?"
Zhou Qian'er hesitated for a moment, then said, "Senior, I haven't decided yet."
Su Chen nodded and said, "Well, in that case, tell me when you've thought it through."
Zhou Qian'er asked, "Then how should I contact you?"
Su Chen calmly said, "My name is Su Chen. If you've made up your mind, just say my name, and I will appear."
Zhou Qian'er blinked. "Is it okay if I just call you by your name?"
Su Chen nodded and said, "Mm."
Zhou Qian'er smiled and said, "Okay."
Su Chen looked at Jianxin and the others, "Return to the Sword Sect."
With that, he turned and left.
Without hesitation, Jianxin and the others quickly followed.
Zhou Qian'er stared at Su Chen's retreating figure for a long time.
Until Aunt Feng suddenly spoke up, " Qian'er, we should go back."
Zhou Qian'er snapped out of her reverie and whispered, "Mmm."
Sigh~
Seeing this, Aunt Feng sighed, "I know you don't want to go back, but there's no other way. If we don't go back soon, the Holy Lord will send someone to find us."
Zhou Qian'er clenched her fists, "But I really don't want to accept that inheritance!"
As she spoke, she looked at Aunt Feng, " Aunt Feng, you should know better than me that if I accept that inheritance, I will become devoid of emotion, devoid of all feelings and desires, and will only focus on cultivating the Tao."
Aunt Feng's face turned somewhat pale. "Of course I know, but what can I do?"
Zhou Qian'er looked up at the azure sky, her clenched fists gradually loosening. "Yes, what can I do? I can't even control my own life."
Aunt Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "Although that inheritance will make you lose all your emotions, it can indeed allow you to step into a higher realm, and you might even become Immortal Emperor!"
Zhou Qian'er shook her head and said, "But I don't want any of that. I just want to be a person with flesh and blood and feelings."
Sigh~
Aunt Feng sighed and said nothing more.
Zhou Qian'er seemed to remember something, her eyes lighting up, "Perhaps, I can ask Senior Chen for help!"
Aunt Feng was taken aback, then nodded. " Senior Chen does indeed have the ability to help you."
A smile appeared on Zhou Qian'er's face. Without further hesitation, she transformed into a streak of light and chased after Su Chen and the others in the direction they had left.
Aunt Feng smiled and followed.
However, after chasing for a long time, the two still could not find Su Chen and the others.
They hovered in the air, their faces filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Zhou Qian'er frowned and said, "Logically speaking, they shouldn't be walking so fast."
Aunt Feng said, "I heard that Young Master Jianxin seems to be from the Sword Sect. Should we go to the Sword Sect to take a look? Perhaps Senior Chen is there."
Zhou Qian'er nodded, "Okay!"
One day later.
Su Chen and the others returned to the Sword Sect.
They had just landed Chen Wuhen and a group of elders suddenly appeared.
Chen Wuhen asked excitedly, "Ancestor, how did the Five Sects Grand Competition go? Did we get first place?"
Su Chen shrugged. "We didn't participate in the Five Sects Grand Competition."
Chen Wuhen and the elders were taken aback.
Chen Wuhen asked, puzzled, "You didn't participate? Then what were you doing?"
Su Chen said calmly, "I didn't do anything special, I just destroyed the Setting Sun Sect, so I couldn't participate in the Five Sects Grand Competition."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wuhen and the other elders froze instantly.
"Holy shit!"
Chen Wuhen was the first to react, immediately swearing and widening his eyes.
He asked incredulously, "Ancestor... you... you said you destroyed the Setting Sun Sect?"
Su Chen shook his head. "I'm a little tired. Let Jianxin explain to you."
With that, he headed straight for Star Spirit Peak.
Chen Wuhen and the elders looked at Jianxin with questioning eyes.
Jianxin hesitated for a moment, then said, "I need to go cultivate. Let my junior brothers and sisters tell you."
With that, he turned and walked towards Setting Sun Peak.
Chen Wuhen and the elders were all speechless.
Xu Hanhan then said, "Let me speak."
Chen Wuhen looked at her, a smile appearing on his face, " Xu Hanhan is still the most polite."
Xu Hanhan blushed, feeling a little embarrassed, and then she recounted what had happened.
A moment later, after hearing what Xu Hanhan said, Chen Wuhen and the other elders were so shocked that they were speechless.
Setting Sun Sect!
Fire God Sect!
They've all been wiped out!
Holy crap!
Awesome!
Chen Wuhen laughed and said, "Fortunately, our Sword Sect has an ancestor. If it weren't for him, we would probably have to swallow our anger and suffer in silence."
An elder said, "Indeed, with our ancestor here, I doubt any force will dare to provoke our Sword Sect."
An elder woman said, "Please remove the estimate."
Another day passed, and Zhou Qian'er and Aunt Feng arrived at the Sword Sect.
Looking at the Sword Sect before her, Aunt Feng frowned and said, "I didn't expect that Senior Chen would be in such a small sect."
At that moment, a figure blocked their path.
And this person was none other than Xu Hanhan; it was her turn to guard the gate today.
Xu Hanhan looked at Zhou Qian'er and the other person, slightly taken aback, "You two..."
Zhou Qian'er smiled and said, "We've come to see Senior Chen."
She was just wondering how to get into the Sword Sect, but now that she has an acquaintance, things will be much easier.
Xu Hanhan then fell into deep thought.
She roughly knew why Zhou Qian'er and the other person had come.
After a moment of silence, she nodded and then described Su Chen's location.
Zhou Qian'er clasped her hands in thanks and said, "Thank you."
Xu Hanhan shook her head. "It's okay, let's go in."
As she spoke, she stepped aside.
Zhou Qian'er thanked her again, and then walked into the Sword Sect with Aunt Feng.
The two followed the directions given by Xu Hanhan and soon arrived at Star Spirit Peak.
Upon entering Star Spirit Peak, they saw Su Chen fishing by the lake, Jianxin his sword nearby, and Xue Ying sunbathing on a wicker chair.
As if sensing something, Xue Ying opened her eyes and looked up. When she saw Zhou Qian'er and Aunt Feng, her brows furrowed. "Who are you?"
Jianxin stopped what he was doing, turned around, and then paused, startled. "What are you doing here?"
Xue Ying looked at him, "You know them?"
Jianxin nodded. "I know him."
Zhou Qian'er bowed, "Excuse me, we're here to see Senior Chen."
Upon hearing this, Xue Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of wariness and hostility flashing within them...
I have something to do today, so I'll only post one chapter for now and will make up for it tomorrow. Please forgive me.
Also, thank you everyone for the gifts, I'm so touched, sob sob~
