Two days later, the Jijian Sect sent someone to invite Pei Yun and the others over. Pei An must have reported their sudden appearance in the sect, so now he finally had time to meet them...

"Just do as I said before. I received my master's inheritance in the secret realm, so I stayed here until now. The sect leader knows that the secret realm's purple mansion can be teleported to Meng Daoshan..." Qin Gu instructed.

He didn't want to make public the fact that Qin Meng's hometown was in another world, otherwise it might be detrimental to Blue Star.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"...By the way, if anyone from Jijian Sect asks about Pei Shi and his wife, just say you don't know and push the question to me..."

"...Thank you, Your Excellency." Pei Yun and the other two bowed in gratitude. They knew that it was Qin Gu who was protecting them.

After Qin Gu gave the instructions, Pei Yun and Luo Rufeng followed the guarding disciples outside to the main peak of Jijian Sect. The main peak was towering into the clouds, and on top of the clouds there was a majestic palace - the Sword Palace.

The three characters "Sword Hall" contain a sharp and fierce sword intent. Just a glance up is like a frosty sword that pierces the heart of the viewer...

However, Pei Yun's soul was strong, and his comprehension of the sword intent was not deep, so with a change of his mind, he eliminated this invisible sword intent.

However, Luo Rufeng, a sword cultivator, was mesmerized by this mysterious sword intent. He seemed to have come to the top of a snowy mountain. The wind and snow blew up his clothes, and large flakes of snow were like sword beams rushing towards him...

At this time, Luo Rufeng saw a white-haired old man appear in front of him. He held a frost sword in his hand and performed a set of sword techniques. As he performed the sword techniques, the surrounding wind and snow gradually stopped...

After the old man finished his performance, he handed the sword to Luo Rufeng.

Luo Rufeng's eyes were bright and determined. He held the Frost Sword and performed the same sword technique as the old man. The snowstorm that had gradually stopped started again, and the flying snow blew up his hair...

"This child is teachable." The old man put one hand on his back, stroked his long white beard with the other, and smiled kindly.

The next moment, Luo Rufeng came to his senses and returned to the Sword Hall. He turned his head and saw Pei Yun looking at him with sparkling eyes.

"Venerable, did you just have an epiphany?!" Pei Yun asked excitedly.

"Yeah." Luo Rufeng chuckled and nodded, then walked in with her.

"Junior Pei Yun, I pay my respects to the sect master and the elders."

"Junior Luo Rufeng pays homage to the sect master and several elders."

The two men adjusted their expressions and bowed respectfully to several Jijian Sect leaders in the center of the hall.

"Luo Rufeng, you were staring at the plaque outside the hall for a long time just now. What did you see?" Sect Master Hou did not rush to ask the two about what happened in the secret realm of the airspace.

"Master, it is like this. I just..." Luo Rufeng briefly recounted the moment of enlightenment he had just experienced when entering the illusion.

Now all the elders of Jijian Sect present could not help but look surprised and carefully looked at the person in front of them.

“He is indeed a talented swordsman. He can actually comprehend the sword intent of the Frost Sword Ancestor from the plaque. Throughout the ages, there are only a few disciples of my Jijian Sect who can glimpse the true meaning from it…” Sect Master Hou praised him generously.

"I am just lucky at the moment, so I have the honor to receive guidance from your sect's Frost Sword Patriarch..." Luo Rufeng said modestly.

"This is not luck. I heard from the disciples below that after you entered the Sky Domain Secret Realm, you also received the inheritance of Patriarch Qin Meng?"

"Yes, after entering the secret realm, I encountered a spy from the demon clan..."

Luo Rufeng took the opportunity to tell about his encounter with the demon clan's assassination, "...I have already reported everything to Venerable Qin Gu, and in the time of crisis, I met up with my disciple Pei Yun. She once accidentally got the key to open the Purple Mansion. By chance, Senior Qin Meng's consciousness saved us and brought us to the Purple Mansion..."

Sect Master Hou and several elders of the Jijian Sect did not expect that the demon spies wanted to assassinate Luo Rufeng. Of course, they knew that the two people in front of them were the great contributors who had previously broken into the prison and seized the Demon Realm Stone. This showed how determined the demons were to kill them, and they even chased them to the Jijian Sect's secret airspace realm. In fact, this was also due to their mismanagement.

The great elder Du Jian's expression became serious, and he asked, "Where is the jade slip now?"

"I have handed it over to Venerable Qin Gu, and he has reported it to the temple..."

In the past few days, the Jijian Sect has been busy with the cleanup work in Jitian City, and the Temple has not paid much attention to it. When they heard Qin Gu's name, these people's faces unconsciously turned ugly.

Suddenly, an elder asked, "How did you two know Qin Gu? And when the Taoists and demons were fighting in Jitian City that day, why did you two rush to save his disciple's reincarnation in the first place? Do you know him?"

Pei Yun paused and said, "…This is my elder brother Pei Shi. He once invited me to visit him in Dongcangzhou, so I know he is in Jitian City. As for Venerable Qin Gu, when Elder Luo and I were in Yongning City in Beiqizhou, we were attacked by the demons. It was Venerable Qin Gu who saved us. Patriarch Qin Meng is also Venerable Qin Gu's master. This time when we came out of the secret realm, Patriarch Qin Meng asked us to bring a message to him…"

After hearing these words, the elders and the leader of Jijian Sect finally dispelled some of their suspicions. Leader Hou once again set his sights on Luo Rufeng:

"Since Qin Gu has already reported your assassination attempt by the demon clan, the people in the temple will definitely take action. You don't have to worry. You have a great talent in swordsmanship. If you are willing to join my Extreme Sword Sect, I will make an exception and accept you as my disciple. How do you think?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other elders also looked at Luo Rufeng with a smile and nodded with satisfaction.

In their opinion, Luo Rufeng was able to defeat Pei An, who was also a talented disciple, in the arena, his sword soul attributes were revealed, he comprehended the sword intent of the Frost Sword Ancestor, and also obtained the inheritance of the Ancestor Qin Meng. He was definitely one of the most talented young sword cultivators in the entire continent!

"Thank you, Sect Master and all the elders, for your appreciation. I feel deeply ashamed. However, many years ago, when I entered Yunshan Sect, I decided to be a disciple of Yunshan Sect for the rest of my life. I'm sure that Sect Master and all the elders would not like someone who changes sects at will..."

Luo Rufeng was firm in his belief and refused righteously.

Although the top leaders of Jijian Sect looked unhappy, they were unable to refute his words. After all, for the Taoist sect, changing the sect at will is a taboo.

Sect Master Hou asked the two a few more questions about what happened in the secret realm of the airspace. Seeing that he could not find any flaws and that it was basically reasonable, and that they still had the token given by Qin Mengzhi in their hands, he let them go.

After leaving the main peak, the two prepared to return to Mengdao Mountain, but they were stopped by Pei An halfway.

"Luo Rufeng, do you dare to fight me again?!" Pei An challenged Luo Rufeng as soon as he opened his mouth.

The disciples of Jijian Sect who were passing by them saw the two men standing face to face with each other in a tense atmosphere, and they couldn't help but gather around curiously, and gradually more and more people gathered and formed a circle around them.

"Why not!" Luo Rufeng said calmly. Although he was in the Jijian Sect, his momentum was no less than Pei An on the opposite side.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the sect's arena square at noon tomorrow. I won't lose to you this time!" Pei An said confidently.

Luo Rufeng did not retort, but just glanced at him calmly: "See you tomorrow at noon."

The two sides agreed on a time for the competition, and Luo Rufeng and Pei Yun left together...

"There will be a good show tomorrow!" Those disciples of Jijian Sect who came to watch the fun quickly spread the news, and many people were waiting to watch this good show.

After all, these two can be regarded as among the most outstanding swordsmen of the younger generation, and both of them are at the top of the genius list.

At the same time, Pei Shi, who was refining his soul bone in the room, finally finished refining it. All the past life events appeared in his mind one by one. He closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, and there was a hint of moisture in the corners of his eyes...

His master Qin Gu severed their master-disciple relationship with him in his previous life because he defected from the Taoist sect and got together with the witch Ye Li.

But in this life, he silently protected me, gave me and Ye Li a peaceful environment, provided me with cultivation resources, and even openly defended me when the matter was exposed and questioned by the Taoist sect...

"Master!" Pei Shi, no! Qin Yun murmured, and suddenly an impulse arose. He stood up and ran out of the room. He wanted to see Qin Gu. He had a lot to say to his master.

When he came to the courtyard outside the palace and saw the peach tree still in full bloom with petals falling in all directions, Qin Yun stopped in shock. He stood under the tree and looked up at the beautiful scenery before him. The memories of his previous life reappeared before him.

"Master! Master! Is this the wooden sword you made for me?" A glutinous rice ball wrapped in thick cloth stumbled in front of the cold man, hugged his calves, and stretched out its little hands, trying to take the wooden sword in the man's hand.

"Let me teach you swordplay..." Under the peach tree, the man patiently taught the child simple swordplay over and over again.

……

"Master! Wuuwuwu..." The boy puffed up his cheeks and came to the man crying loudly, showing him his palms. "I fell down! It hurts!"

"Who asked you to practice flying with a sword? You just started to refine Qi and you're already thinking about flying with a sword. You're so ambitious. Take a fall as a lesson..." The man raised the corners of his lips slightly, but still softly used his spiritual power to wipe the palm of his hand, and the scar disappeared the next moment.

The boy wiped his tears, opened his arms to ask him to hold him, and called in a baby voice: "Master!"

"You are already seven years old, and you are still acting like a spoiled child..." The man shook his head helplessly, but still picked him up with a doting smile in his eyes.

……

"Master! What do you think of my sword skills?"

As time went by, the boy had grown into a handsome young man. He held the magic sword that his master had made for him and performed a set of sword skills in one go under the peach tree. "Master, am I really inheriting your sword skills? I think my participation in the sect's foundation building competition will not embarrass you..."

"Not so good... The moves are gorgeous, but mostly useless. The important thing about swordsmanship is to be able to attack the enemy and kill with one blow. What you need to do is to simplify things..." The man said as he came behind him, grasped his wrist, controlled the sword in his hand, and taught him swordsmanship...

……

"You've gone down the mountain again..." The man was sitting cross-legged at a square table under a peach tree. Seeing the young man walking up the mountain, he raised his eyebrows and said helplessly.

The young man ran to the man with a guilty conscience, took out a pot of spirit wine, poured a glass of wine for his master, and then said with a flattering smile: "Master, I am not going down the mountain to play, I am going to find good wine for you..."

The man smiled and shook his head after hearing this. He took the wine glass and drank a glass before teaching him a lesson: "You! You just like to wander around the mortal world all day long, and you never practice..."

"Master, you have wronged your disciple. I, your disciple, practice very seriously, but the purpose of my practice is to slay demons and eliminate evil. I came down the mountain to see if the demons are causing trouble in the mortal world again..." The young man said with a beaming face, and enthusiastically told the man what he had seen and heard in the mortal world.

"...Master, please stretch out your hand..." the young man suddenly said embarrassedly.

"...What?" The man glanced at him in confusion, but still reached out his hand.

The young man took out a red string from his space ring and tied it around his master's wrist. He explained as he tied it, "This is what I got from a temple in the mortal world..."

"You, a monk, believe this? This red rope is just an ordinary object..."

"Whether it is an ordinary thing or not, it represents my wish..."

"Oh? What's your wish?"

"I hope to stay with Master for the rest of my life..."

The man suddenly raised his head, staring at him without blinking, with a strange light flashing in his eyes...

……

The past is still vivid in my mind, and all the scenes of the master and disciple getting along have become like floating smoke.

Qin Yun stood under the peach tree, tears streaming down her face as she felt the loneliness of the world changing...

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have accepted you as my apprentice... You are no longer my apprentice, Qin Gu. The relationship between you and me as master and apprentice is severed..."

In the previous life, Qin Gu's resolute words once again rang in his ears. Qin Yun looked back with red eyes and took a deep look at the inner room where Qin Gu lived. In the end, he did not have the courage to walk over, but returned to his own residence dejectedly...

What he didn't know was that after he left, Qin Gu waved his sleeves, removed the invisibility spell, and appeared under the peach tree. He stared at his departing back, feeling an inexplicable pain in the depths of his heart. He subconsciously turned his wrist behind his back, and under his sleeves was hidden the red rope that had been tied and never taken off...
