"But you don't need to be too nervous. These are all secondary. It's best to find out. If you can't, forget about it. You won't lose anything."

The high priest relieves Ling Shuang's psychological pressure.

She was really afraid that Ling Shuang would investigate regardless, and someone would notice her, which would be detrimental to Ling Shuang.

"Yes, I understand." Ling Shuang agreed. She still had this bit of self-knowledge. If she couldn't conduct a traceless investigation, it would be better not to do it.

"There is nothing special that you need to do after this. I will have other plans when you reach the spiritual level."

Ling Shuang felt a lot more at ease after hearing the high priest's plan. After all, it was really reassuring to have a reliable elder to help you plan your future.

But this also depends on the mentality of the person involved. From another perspective, it seems that the future is completely controlled and one's life is led by others. Ling Shuang had this mentality before.

But after thinking about it, she gave up this mentality. After all, thinking like this is very chilling to someone who is dedicated to you.

In addition, she is really at a loss now, and the high priest's arrangements at this time are like providing help in times of need, making what she has to do in the future clearly visible, so she feels that the high priest is extremely reliable.

The two opposing thoughts were Ling Shuang's true thoughts for a short period of time, but this was quite normal, because different situations led to different perspectives on the problem.

Thinking of this, Ling Shuang was filled with gratitude to the high priest, and at the same time felt extremely guilty for her actions yesterday.

Seeing Ling Shuang's thoughts, the high priest touched Ling Shuang's head and said gently: "It's okay. I said you will always be my sister."

Ling Shuang's eyes couldn't help but become moist. She stepped forward and hugged the high priest, murmuring: "Thank you, sister..."

……

Leaving the high priest's place, Ling Shuang went to the worship hall.

I feel like Master is the most difficult one to deal with. After all, the high priest loves me so much, so why is he willing to blame me~

Coming to the familiar small valley again, there should be other offerings in the enshrinement hall. I feel that their presence is very low and they have not shown much face.

In fact, on the night when she lost control, several of the other heaven-level powerhouses who came to the scene were from the Enshrinement Hall, but she didn't know it.

Walking to the door of Li Jianyi's house, Ling Shuang took a deep breath and opened the door.

no response……

???

If you don’t believe in evil, open the identity authentication interface and verify your identity.

[You do not have permission]

!!!

Master deleted my permission! ! !

It's over, it seems he is quite angry...

Ling Shuang could only ring the doorbell obediently, preparing to face the storm.

The access control was connected, and Li Jianyi's voice came: "Ling Shuang? What are you doing here?"

Ling Shuang said nonchalantly: "Master is joking. Of course I came to see Master to practice my sword."

"No, I can't be your master, you'd better hire someone else!"

"Master, I was wrong! Don't do this! I really know my mistake, just let me in!"

"Practice if you want, if you don't want to, don't. Where do you think I am? This place is not worthy of you, get out!"

After that, the communication was disconnected.

Ling Shuang was dumbfounded, what's going on? The master actually started to be angry with her, and things were getting serious.

She had no choice but to continue ringing the doorbell, but no one responded, so she kept ringing and ringing.

After a long time, Li Jianyi couldn't bear the trouble and had to open the door.

Ling Shuang entered the door cautiously and found Li Jianyi sitting in the living room with a sullen face.

Seeing Ling Shuang peeping her head, Li Jian became furious.

"Come here! What are you doing sneaking around there? Otherwise, go back!" Li Jianyi said angrily.

Ling Shuang immediately sat down next to him with smooth movements, upright, looking at her eyes, nose and heart.

Li Jianyi glanced at Ling Shuang, who looked like a good baby.

"What's wrong?"

"The mistake is that you shouldn't give up just because of some setbacks." Ling Shuang replied obediently.

"anything else?"

"Uh... you shouldn't be disrespectful to the master."

"anything else?"

"And... uh..." Ling Shuang fell into deep thought.

"Hmph, your biggest mistake is not trusting your sword!" Li Jianyi scolded.

"As a swordsman, the sword in your hand is everything. It is a weapon and a partner. You must devote all your efforts and trust to it. Only by holding the sword in your hand can you spell a future! But you questioned your sword .”

Ling Shuang lowered his head when he heard this.

"Those who use swords are most afraid of having a weak will. If you don't have the faith and confidence to hold a sword, it's better to give up as soon as possible. Think clearly for yourself."

Ling Shuang thought for a moment, raised her head firmly and said, "I want to continue learning the sword!"

Li Jianyi said calmly: "Then why are you holding the sword?"

"To fight for my future!"

Li Jianyi took a careful look at Ling Shuang. The firmness in his eyes did not seem to be fake. It seemed that he had really thought about it clearly. He crossed his arms and nodded: "Yes."

"But Master's swordsmanship requires a lot of experience. Will I really be able to do it in time?" Ling Shuang asked worriedly.

Li Jian thought for a while, finally sighed, stood up and said, "Follow me."

Ling Shuang hurriedly followed.

The two walked to the third floor of the house. Li Jianyi took Ling Shuang into a small room in the innermost room, activated a switch, and a wall cracked, revealing a corridor.

Passing through the corridor, we arrived at a smaller room. There were some daily necessities placed in the room, which seemed to be women's?

There is a photo of a woman on the table. Her appearance is somewhat similar to that of Priest Han Lixue, but she is younger, more lively, and smiling.

Li Jianyi stepped forward and picked up the photo, touched it gently and said, "This is my wife Han Lili, who is also the sister of your Priest Han."

"Has Master's wife... passed away?" Ling Shuang asked carefully.

Combined with this scene and Li Jianyi's expression, the answer is not difficult to guess.

"Yes, she passed away five years ago." Li Jianyi sighed.

But he had no desire to continue. Instead, he went to the side and took out a jade slip and handed it to Ling Shuang.

"This is her own sword technique. It has the same origin as yours. You can use it to practice on your own. It should be more suitable for improving your strength in the short term."

After Ling Shuang took it, Li Jianyi said again: "I can only give you instructions based on my memory, but I can't teach you directly. Everything depends on you, so don't insult it." At the end of the sentence, Li Jianyi was deeply moved. He glanced at Ling Shuang.

Ling Shuang took the jade slip, hesitated for a while, and then asked: "Master, Master, what happened to her...?"

Li Jian fell into silence when he heard the words. After struggling for a while, he sighed: "Well, you are considered her disciple now, so there is no harm in telling you."

"Lili has a lively and smart personality, out-of-the-box thinking, and has no interest in power, so she gave up the position of priest to her sister and traveled around the world with me." Li Jianyi fell into memories.

"Her talent for swordsmanship is not inferior to mine, but it is completely different from mine. My sword goes straight, and her agility is like an elf in the snow."

"At that time, Canglan wanted to recruit me, but I didn't accept it, so they set their sights on Lili. When I wasn't prepared, they used Lili's old acquaintance to lure her away, stun her, and kidnap her, trying to blame the spiritual sect. If I hadn't arrived in time, Lili would have been killed by those beasts..." At this point, Li Jianyi's eyes turned red, his breathing became rapid, and some sharp sword aura and strong killing intent appeared uncontrollably around him.

Ling Shuang couldn't bear the aura and could only shout: "Master! Calm down! I'm still here!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jian restrained his breath, took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued:

"After seeing that the plan failed and did not provoke a conflict between me and the Spiritual Cult, but instead brought me closer to the Spiritual Cult, they wanted to get rid of me."

"But those rats did not take action themselves. Instead, they incited the people from the Chi Tower to surround and kill us. The two of us fought against the other five heaven-level people, fighting and retreating, but the other party still had support, so we could only get away."

"We were very close to the Blazing Tower Star at that time. We sent a distress signal to the Spiritual Sect and tried our best to rush to the Spiritual Sect's station, but the other party kept chasing us. In the end, Lili couldn't carry her on the road..."

Tears gradually overflowed from Li Jian's eyes. He calmed down again and continued:

"I was devastated and wanted to fight them desperately to avenge Lili. I killed two people, but I couldn't hold on anymore. At this time, the high priest arrived, killed one person and rescued me. But the remaining two allowed them to escape.”

"After I recovered from my injury, because the high priest was kind to me and this was her home, I became a worshiper of the spiritual cult."

After finishing speaking, Li Jianyi looked at Ling Shuang and said: "I don't expect you to avenge her, because I will do it myself, but you must not insult her inheritance, and you must live a good life for me!"

Ling Shuang said firmly: "I will, Master! I will definitely carry forward the inheritance of Master!"
