After witnessing Lin Xuan slay Emperor Realm with One Sword strike, only one sentence kept echoing in Yun Yao's mind.
How could this be!
How is that possible!?
Why... does Yunyi get all the good stuff?
Yun Yao stood in the crowd, biting her lip tightly, not daring to look at Yunyi even once.
She was afraid that if she looked at it any longer, she would lose control of the bitterness and jealousy in her heart.
From childhood to adulthood, it seems she has never beaten Yunyi even once.
This time, Yunyi refused to become a disciple of the Thousand Sounds Pavilion, and the other woman secretly mocked Yunyi's foolishness.
Thousand Sounds Pavilion is a royal-level power. Once you become an apprentice, you will receive invaluable instruction from a Emperor Realm expert. With Yunyi's talent, she will definitely receive intensive training.
But Yunyi refused.
She even said that the Zither Intent was not the path she sought...
Yun Yao found it all absurd.
Therefore, when Elder Qiu turned to ask her if she was willing to become his disciple, she agreed without hesitation.
Even though she knew very well that Elder Qiu's purpose in taking her as a disciple was not pure, but more to make Yunyi regret it.
But so what?
I'm pretty sure Yunyi will regret this later!
But now... looking at the figure of the white-robed swordsman not far in front of her, Yun Yao's lips trembled slightly, and she gave a bitter smile.
regret.
Indeed, some people regret it.
But the one who regretted it wasn't Yunyi, but himself.
This white-robed swordsman was far more powerful than Elder Qiu; with One Sword, he could annihilate a member of the royal family. And this person was none other than Yunyi's master...
She thought she had finally won against Yunyi, but little did she know that she had already lost the moment she agreed to enter the Thousand Sounds Pavilion...
Yun Yao pursed her lips tightly and clenched her fists in resentment.
"Are you very unwilling to accept this?"
A light, airy voice came from beside Yun Yao, startling Yun Yao. She subconsciously looked up and saw Yunyi standing beside her with a calm expression.
With just one glance, Yun Yao could no longer contain her resentment and hatred. She abruptly turned her head away, her tone icy.
" Yunyi, you won this time, but don't be so smug. One day, I will definitely surpass you!"
Yunyi looked at Yun Yao like this and gently shook her head.
You're wrong, Yun Yao.
"There was never a bet between us sisters, so there's no question of winning or losing. If you think that my master is more powerful, then perhaps I have won."
"But... does joining a royal-level power and receiving training from the Emperor Realm expert mean you've lost?"
" Yun Yao, you lost, but not because of your master's strength, but because of your character... If you cannot distinguish right from wrong, you will never win."
After speaking, Yunyi stopped looking at the stunned Yun Yao, picked up her guqin, and walked step by step toward Lin Xuan, her expression as calm and indifferent as before.
She never considered herself a winner; she was just lucky to have found her own true path.
Yun Yao lost because she was burdened by external things and never touched the true Dao deep within her heart.
Lin Xuan glanced at the disciple who had come to his side, sheathed his sword, and spoke calmly.
"Your Lineage's crisis has been resolved, and the Alien Race have all been wiped out, but the Alien Race outside are still rampaging. We should return to the Sword Pavilion."
Yunyi nodded gently, putting everything, including Yun Yao, out of her mind.
"Yes, Master."
Seeing the harmonious scene between master and disciple, Elder Qiu shook his head, clearing his mind of all emotions, took a deep breath, and turned to clasp his hands in a fist salute to the Yun Household patriarch beside him.
" Yun Household, the crisis here has been resolved, but the Alien Race are rampant. We must return to our sect as soon as possible. Farewell."
After speaking, Elder Qiu subconsciously looked at Lin Xuan beside him, his gaze becoming increasingly complicated.
She had a lot to say, but in the end, she swallowed most of it.
"Thank you for saving my life, fellow Daoist. Qiu Yueya will remember this kindness. If you ever need my help in the future, please come to the Thousand Sounds Pavilion to find me."
She wasn't an ungrateful person.
If Lin Xuan hadn't intervened, both the Yun Household members and she would likely have died here.
Lin Xuan saved her life and also shattered her arrogance caused by her advancement.
Elder Qiu had lost his initial arrogance.
Judging from what just happened, the Alien Race is probably not as simple as she thought, and is even more difficult to deal with. In fact, even a powerful expert at the Emperor Realm has appeared. Among those of the same realm, she is no match for them at all!
Thinking of this, Elder Qiu couldn't help but feel anxious. He now only wanted to return to the sect and report this matter to the sect leader immediately.
If things are as she thinks, then the Profound Domain...
I'm afraid things are about to change drastically!
In response to Elder Qiu's thanks, Lin Xuan didn't say much, only nodded slightly.
Elder Qiu's strength was average, but his character was decent. Although he had his own ulterior motives, he didn't try to force Yunyi to stay, even after she repeatedly rejected him. Instead, when the Yun Household was in crisis, he didn't hesitate to come to their rescue, even risking his life in the process...
She is indeed a rare kind-hearted person in the Profound Domain.
After Elder Qiu's words, the Yun Household patriarch finally came to his senses from the shock.
Ignoring his injuries, he suppressed his shock, looked left and right, and sighed bitterly.
The Yun Household's grand formation has been broken, and their territory is now awash in blood.
Corpses were everywhere.
Alien Race, members of the Yun Household...
Adding to what Elder Qiu and Lin Xuan said, what else could he not understand?
The Yun Household was not a pitiful chosen one, but rather one of the countless places attacked by Alien Race.
The Profound Domain... is ravaged by Alien Race!
The Yun Household, having lost even their protective clan formation, is no longer safe.
With Elder Qiu gone, Lin Xuan will also leave, leaving only the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled of the Yun Household...
The Yun Household patriarch's expression grew even more bitter.
Given the current situation, he must lead his people away from this place as soon as possible; who knows if the Alien Race will return again?
Can...
The journey will definitely not be smooth sailing. With the Alien Race rampaging, even a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled people like them cannot run rampant. With the current strength of the Yun Household, it is probably a pipe dream to think they can safely evacuate from this place!
Thinking this, the Yun Household patriarch subconsciously looked at Lin Xuan, his eyes full of embarrassment, hesitant to speak.
Before the Yun Household patriarch could even speak, Lin Xuan could tell what he wanted to say just by looking at his expression.
And that's exactly what Lin Xuan wanted to say.
"Patriarch Yun Household, this place is no longer safe. Since you are members of Yunyi's clan, if you have no other way out, you may come with me."
Lin Xuan made the suggestion calmly.
He never offers kindness indiscriminately; the reason he said this was only because Yunyi was his disciple.
Moreover, that's all he'll do; he won't help with anything more.
Even just that one sentence was enough to excite the Yun Household patriarch.
He had personally witnessed Lin Xuan's strength.
The Yun Household patriarch took a deep breath and nodded gratefully.
"I am Yun Canghai. Thank you, fellow Daoist, for disregarding past grievances and helping my Yun Household escape this predicament. The entire Yun Household will forever remember your kindness and never forget it!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan casually waved his hand, not taking it to heart, and turned to leave.
Yunyi gave Yun Yao a deep look, then looked away and followed her away.
Looking at the white-robed swordsman's retreating figure, Yun Canghai sighed inwardly.
He is decisive and ruthless, unconcerned with trivialities, and his strength is unfathomable. Yunyi has truly found a good master!
Yunyi's future prospects are likely limitless.
It's laughable that they actually thought Yunyi missed a golden opportunity by not joining Thousand Sounds Pavilion.
In retrospect, it seems that we were all too narrow-minded.
Please note.
There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding!
