Chapter 77

“So, do you have any objections?” Seeing that Qingyan remained silent for a long time, Elder Qingxue frowned and asked him.

“Ah, no... no objections...” Qingyan hurriedly replied.

It didn’t matter anymore. Although he didn’t know how Ye Xuan had gotten involved with Senior Sister Qingxue, well, if someone was willing to take this disciple without spiritual roots, that was naturally the best outcome.

“Since Senior Sister likes him, then... Ye Xuan, from now on, you should cultivate peacefully under Elder Qingxue.”

Elder Qingyan looked at Ye Xuan and said, “Elder Qingxue is the foremost of the Seven Saints of the Sword in Taihua, already a true immortal cultivator. I believe, under her guidance, your path to immortality is promising.”

Promising, my foot. A master leads the way, but cultivation depends on the individual, and Ye Xuan doesn’t even have spiritual roots. Elder Qingyan naturally didn’t believe that Ye Xuan could truly cultivate anything significant.

Probably, he was just a temporary companion for Senior Sister Qingxue in her loneliness. Hmm, it’s possible—!!!

“Yes, Uncle Qingyan!” Ye Xuan saluted Elder Qingyan, “So from now on, Elder Qingxue will be my master.”

“Uh...” Hearing this, Elder Qingyan’s face twitched uncontrollably. Although I don’t like you as a disciple much, you, damn it, changed your address too quickly—!!!

Humph, luckily I found out early and didn’t let you get involved with my daughter. Otherwise, it would have been inviting a wolf into the house, regretting it too late—!!!

“Elder Qingxue, I’ve actually admired you for a long time—!!!” At this moment, Yu Ling’er suddenly shouted from the side: “Take me as your disciple—!!!”

Her words instantly drew the attention of everyone present. Elder Qingyan’s face twitched again. This daughter, does she really want to become a disciple, or just wants to follow Ye Xuan?!! He said, “Ling’er, don’t be ridiculous—!!!”

“Dad, I’m not being ridiculous. I’ve long heard that Elder Qingxue’s Nine Heavens Mysterious Sword Technique is different from the ordinary Taihua sword techniques, infinitely powerful. I’ve just never had the chance to witness it.”

“If Elder Qingxue is willing to take me as a desciple, maybe one day she would be willing to teach her sword technique to me.” Yu Ling’er was not concerned about her father’s anger, but instead bragged to Elder Qingxue.

“...” Truth be told, Qingxue didn’t want to take Yu Ling’er as a disciple. Every day she spent with Ye Xuan was more free and easy. Why bother taking another Yu Ling’er?

But, not wanting to is one thing, she owed Yu Ling’er so much from their past life, and also owed Ye Xuan. At this time, it was not easy to be jealous. So, she could only nod in agreement.

“Since that’s the case, Yu Ling’er, from now on, cultivate with me. However, you are not considered my disciple, you are still Qingyan’s.”

“—!!!” Upon hearing this, Elder Qingyan couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.“This is great—!!!” He thought. His Qingyan Peak originally didn’t have any particularly impressive disciples. It was only after great effort that his wife gave birth to a highly talented Yu Ling’er.

He certainly wouldn’t want her to become a disciple under someone else. But if it was about learning skills from another, that was a different matter. No matter how skilled she became, she was still his daughter, his disciple.

But speaking of which, now that his daughter and Ye Xuan were together again, wouldn’t something happen?

“Husband, from now on, this will be your home... Although it’s not as prosperous as your original home, cultivating here will speed up your progress significantly.” Qingxue said to Ye Xuan after setting him down.

“This place is wonderful, this is where immortals should live.” Ye Xuan smiled and said, “It seems I will be cultivating here in seclusion for a while. Otherwise, I won’t even be able to leave on my own.”

Qingxue covered her mouth and giggled softly, “With my husband’s cultivation talent, it won’t take much time before you can break through to the immortal realm yourself, right...?”

“Hm?!!”

While they were talking, suddenly, Qingxue frowned. “Husband, something’s happened at Taihua Mountain...” Her gaze looked down worriedly.

“What?” Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s expression changed as he asked, “What about Ling’er?”

“She’s already here...” As Qingxue’s voice fell, a streak of sword light landed on Qingxue Peak. The light dissipated, revealing Yu Ling’er’s figure. She was about to say something but suddenly her expression changed, seemingly sensing something as well.

The next moment, Ye Xuan heard it too. It was the emergency bell of Taihua Sect—!!! This bell was only rung during significant events.

“Ling’er, stay here and protect Ye Xuan, I’ll go down and take a look,” Qingxue instructed Yu Ling’er, “There are restrictions I’ve set up on Qingxue Peak, so it won’t be easy for ordinary people to breach them in a short time.”

“Yes—!” Yu Ling’er knew that under such circumstances, Elder Qingxue couldn’t stay away. Taihua Sect had been stable for so many years; this was the first time the bell had rung.

“Wife, be careful—!” Ye Xuan said to Qingxue.

“Mm.” Qingxue nodded, her figure instantly turning into a sword light, flying downwards.

...

Outside Taihua Mountain, countless demons had gathered. In no time, they surrounded the entire sect, leaving no escape.

These demons varied in shape: some with green faces and sharp teeth, others with gaping mouths, and still others taking forms of flowers, birds, fish, and beasts.

Tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves were not in the minority. It was unknown who had the power to summon so many demons here.

Among these demons, suddenly the space fluctuated, and a woman’s figure slowly emerged from the spatial rift. Calling her a woman seemed somewhat inappropriate.

Though her form was that of a woman, she had a pair of fox ears, and behind her fluttered nine fluffy white tails. This was a nine-tailed fox demon.

Her figure was graceful, her beauty unparalleled. Her eyes, seductive and captivating, contrasted starkly with the ugly demons around her, highlighting her beauty even more.

“So this is Taihua Sect, huh? I wonder if these fools can break through Taihua’s defenses, giving me a chance to find that unfaithful Ye Xuan and have a good chat, hehe—! Reborn in this life, I really don’t want to let him live a moment longer—!”

While speaking, a cold and fierce light flashed across her charming face.
