Her master is... Lin Xuan?
Lin Xuan...
Lin Xuan!?
All the memories buried deep within Nangong Yaoyue came rushing to the surface like fish breaking through the ice on a river in winter, desperately breathing in the long-lost fresh air.
It was like a heavy hammer blow, striking Nangong Yaoyue's mind hard.
Her life was so short; she only knew one person Lin Xuan.
If someone were to cause her trouble because of the name " Lin Xuan," then that Lin Xuan could only be that person.
That was her past, which she had long buried, and something she had carelessly discarded.
Since she became a disciple of the Azure Yang Sword Sect and entered Starfall Peak, taking Lin Xuan as her master, she has stood out from the crowd on the peak.
She was the eldest disciple and Lin Xuan's most valued Direct Disciple. For her, the path of the sword was as simple as drinking water and eating; there were no bottlenecks or constraints.
Although she didn't say it, she looked down on Lin Xuan at that time. He was a prodigy, and his master shouldn't be so mediocre.
Therefore, when the Palace Master of the Chiyao Heavenly Palace appeared before her, Nangong Yaoyue did not hesitate much before acknowledging him as her master and leaving with Yaoguang.
And Lin Xuan...?
To her, they were merely passersby in her life. Although she felt guilty, in the Profound Domain, the strong are respected, and with her exceptional talent, just as Master Yaoguang said, she absolutely could not let it be wasted in the small Seven Moon-Reflecting Kingdoms.
Lin Xuan should understand her choice.
People strive for higher positions, just as water flows downhill; this is an age-old truth.
Later, she followed Yaoguang to cultivate in the Chiyao Heavenly Palace. The cultivation Cultivation Method and spiritual resources she used were things she could never have imagined when she was at Starfall Peak. Therefore, she was extremely grateful for her choice back then.
Occasionally, when he thinks of Lin Xuan, he only sighs with emotion.
If she hadn't left back then, she would probably have been like an insect, never having the chance to see the world outside the well. Now that she has such good fortune, she has no regrets.
After all, what she wanted was Starfall Peak, something Lin Xuan couldn't give her.
However, Nangong Yaoyue never expected that one day she would hear Lin Xuan's name again, especially in such a place...
But how could Lianxin know Lin Xuan...?
Sword Pavilion Lianxin...
In a flash, an incredible thought suddenly flashed through Nangong Yaoyue's mind.
She couldn't even control the turmoil of emotions surging within her, and could only try her best to maintain her composure, gritting her teeth as she asked, "Previously, that Lin Xuan on the Heaven Ranking..."
In the short span of breath, Nangong Yaoyue couldn't quite articulate what was on her mind.
She could only wait for Su Lianxin's reply.
Su Lianxin glanced at her indifferently and gave a cold reply, which made the thing that Nangong Yaoyue least wanted to believe become reality.
"That one on the Heaven Ranking is naturally my master, Lin Xuan!"
boom!
Nangong Yaoyue felt a sudden rush of shock in her mind. She looked up at Su Lianxin in disbelief, her beautiful eyes wide with astonishment and shock.
Top ten on the Heaven Ranking...
Even her own master struggled to break into the top ten, so how come Lin Xuan, whom she had always considered mediocre and destined to languish in a small place, had managed to remain there for so long?
If he is mediocre, then what are his master Yaoguang, and himself?
"How could this be...?"
For a moment, the light in Nangong Yaoyue's eyes dimmed, and she murmured in disbelief, feeling as if it were all a dream.
How could that be?
How could that be?
She was distraught, biting her lip, and managed to utter a single, strained sentence.
Did he send you to find me?
Even so, Nangong Yaoyue was already convinced that Lin Xuan had sent Su Lianxin to take revenge on her.
After all, he had betrayed his master.
Su Lianxin coldly observed the various changes in Nangong Yaoyue's expression. Upon hearing her words, she frowned but finally spoke slowly.
"Coming to the Chiyao Heavenly Palace to find you was my own decision. My master has long since stopped caring, but I cannot help but care."
"After you betrayed your sect, your master suffered a mental injury, failed to break through to the King Realm, fell to the Tribulation Realm, and Starfall Peak was also in imminent danger, almost disintegrating."
The onlookers stared in disbelief, and even some of the elders of the Chiyao Heavenly Palace were astonished.
Nangong Yaoyue of the Chiyao Heavenly Palace, is actually someone who betrayed her sect...?
This is truly... appalling!
When they saw that the Palace Master had brought back a disciple with good aptitude, they assumed that the Palace Master had met him by chance during his travels.
So that's how it is!
How could that be?
Nangong Yaoyue did not deny the fact that she had betrayed the sect, but after hearing what followed, she was extremely incredulous and stared wide-eyed.
Her eyes were filled with confusion and guilt. She interrupted Su Lianxin and shook her head, biting her lip.
"I don't know... I..."
Yaoguang, standing to the side, had a complex look in her eyes.
She knew what was going on the moment Su Lianxin mentioned Lin Xuan's name.
Back then, she was eager to take advantage of the opportunity. Although she knew that Nangong Yaoyue already had a sect, she did not think that a small Azure Yang Sword Sect could support such a genius. Therefore, she took action and brought Nangong Yaoyue Chiyao Heavenly Palace.
She also paid some attention to Lin Xuan, Nangong Yaoyue's original master.
Seeing that the other party was heartbroken and despondent because of his disciple's departure, she felt that this person was really vulnerable and indeed unworthy to be Yaoyue's master.
After that, fearing that Nangong Yaoyue would find out about these things and it would affect her State of Mind, she suppressed all the information and prevented it from reaching Nangong Yaoyue's ears.
At that time, Yaoguang never thought that a small King Realm experts regarded as their most treasured possession could shake her, nor did she think that the cats and dogs of Starfall Peak could come to her.
Unexpectedly...
"That was truly a matter of a single thought..."
Yaoguang murmured softly and sighed.
Su Lianxin, however, was completely unconcerned, and even less concerned whether Nangong Yaoyue knew about it.
She brandished her sword and spoke in a cold voice.
"I'm not saying this to make you feel guilty. After you left, although Master was injured, he regained his confidence and led me, Junior Brother Wang Yan, Junior Sister Qu Youmeng, and me to leave Azure Yang Sword Sect and establish Sword Pavilion, which we've been doing ever since."
"Now, our Sword Pavilion has the Demon Emperor as its Vice Pavilion Master, the Heavenly Venerable as its First Sword Master, and Master Lin Xuan at the helm. Whether it's Junior Sister Yunyi, Junior Sister Qu Youmeng, or Junior Brother Wang Yan, they are all outstanding talents, peerless geniuses, and have already undergone a complete transformation!"
"And I have come here today to settle old scores!"
"Today you have taken my One Sword, and fallen to my blade. Our feud is now over."
Nangong Yaoyue listened to Su Lianxin's resolute words, her lips parted and closed several times, her expression extremely complex!
"I... I..."
She couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Whether her heart was filled with regret or guilt, Nangong Yaoyue herself couldn't say for sure.
Heavenly Venerable level experts, Thearch Realm experts...
Even in the Chiyao Heavenly Palace, there is none!
But Sword Pavilion, the sect she had once abandoned and discarded like trash, yet...
how so?
Nangong Yaoyue unbelievable.
Could it be that back then, in pursuit of greater power, she betrayed her sect...?
Was I wrong?
