Before Ling Luo succumbed to her inner demons, her unparalleled talent in swordsmanship dominated the cultivation world.
That was until someone else emerged—a single strike of their sword sho...
After the ancestral worship ceremony was over, Mu Hengtian and the three elders rushed to meet Yun Shouxi.
The adults were talking and the younger ones stepped aside.
In the corridor outside the house, Lingluo stood beside Yu Xiu and yawned quietly. She felt a little tired and wanted to go back to sleep.
Mu Ya, who was holding a plate of pastries, glanced at her coldly, silently blaming her for being careless and not knowing the seriousness of the matter.
Lingluo ignored it.
Mu Ya walked up to Chu Yi and said, "Big Brother, you've worked hard on the inspection. I saw that you didn't eat anything today, so I brought you some date cakes."
Chu Yi looked straight ahead and said calmly, "Junior Sister Mu is so kind, I'm not hungry. Yu Xiu, give it to Junior Sister, she's so hungry that she can't even stand."
Yu Xiu and Ling Luo both pretended that they heard nothing.
Mu Ya felt embarrassed by what he said, and her fingers gripping the edge of the plate clenched tightly until her fingertips turned white.
Lingluo's lips curled up slightly, and she hid beside Xiu, secretly gloating.
Mu Ya is arrogant and spoiled, but Chu Yi is even more arrogant than her. He is also the first man who has defeated Miss Tianji. He is handsome, has a quirky personality, and is not ordinary and conventional, so he caught the eye of the young lady.
She has been chasing after Chu Yi for the past two years, but Chu Yi has no interest in her at all.
Lingluo knew very well that this senior brother had too high standards.
He loves the moon in the sky.
A forbidden love is not favored by the world, let alone recognized by the immortal sect.
But Chu Yi favored that woman miserably.
Chu Yi Neng gave up his pride for the sake of Tian Shang Yue, knelt down and kowtowed, and didn't care if he was trampled into the mud and tortured.
That night, it was drizzling in Qishan.
At that time, she was still the pride of the Immortal Sect.
Ling Luo broke through the formation holding two swords. Every time she passed a level, Qishan lit a beacon tower. One hundred and thirty-six beacon towers in Qishan were burning, indicating that the invaders had reached the pavilion on the top of the mountain.
The senior brother who did not get along with her and disliked each other, who had also worked with her to overcome difficulties, kill enemies and eliminate demons, was now being stepped on by the Lord of Qishan with a laugh.
His face was covered in blood. He didn't look like the usual favored son of heaven, the famous eldest brother of Dongdao Tianji, but more like a dirty beggar slave.
The Lord of Qishan laughed arrogantly and shouted at Chu Yi: "Kneel again!"
Chu Yi couldn't help vomiting blood. He fell to the ground, having no strength left. However, relying on the obsession in his heart, he trembled and clenched his five fingers into fists, slowly got up from the ground, and knelt down again.
Kneel again.
The Lord of Qishan threw another punch, knocking him to the ground easily, and then kicked him hard.
He laughed wildly, his excitement evident in his words.
When Ling Luo arrived, the Lord of Qishan stepped on the man's face and said with a smile: "The eldest brother of Dongdao Tianji, the first disciple of Sanxi Zhenjun, is only this level! He is a waste who has no power to fight back under my feet!"
"He is indeed a waste, but don't say that in front of me." Ling Luo walked towards the stage, her body filled with surging spiritual power, and even the drizzle avoided her.
She glanced at the bloodstained man lying on the ground, turned the scimitar in her hand, pointed it at the Lord of Qishan, and nodded, "Saying that I have a useless senior brother is an insult to me."
In the battle of Qishan, she rescued people.
When they were going down the mountain, Lingluo asked Chuyi, "Is it worth it?"
He just wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and answered with a single word in a weak but firm voice.
"value."
Lingluo still can't understand it.
At that time, what occupied her mind were Tao and hatred.
Therefore, I have no interest in love.
Now looking at Mu Ya trying to persuade Chu Yi to eat one or two pieces of date cake, Ling Luo just felt bored.
In front of Chu Yi, Mu Ya's usual arrogant appearance also became a little more delicate like a little girl: "Big Brother, you have been training for several months since you came down the mountain. It's hard for me to see you."
Chu Yi: "What's the problem? Just go down the mountain if you want to see me."
"But how can I just go down the mountain... Can you take me with you next time you go out into the world to gain experience, senior brother?" Mu Ya looked at him and asked.
Chu Yi said calmly, "No."
Mu Ya bit her lip and said unwillingly: "Why? I will be able to enter the society after completing my studies next year!"
Chu Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "When I came back, I heard that you couldn't even beat Junior Sister. How could you possibly enter the world next year?"
Ling Luo, who was mentioned by him again, blinked, took a deep breath, and confirmed that the senior brother did it on purpose.
He just wanted to dump this trouble of Mu Ya on himself!
Before Mu Ya could refute, Chu Yi added bluntly: "You can't even beat Junior Sister. You should study for another three to five years to reach this level."
Mu Ya's demeanor turned gloomy and he looked towards Ling Luo.
Lingluo pulled at the corner of Yu Xiu's clothes.
Yu Xiu said, "Brother, let's go first, you guys chat."
As he was about to take Lingluo away, Chu Yi glanced at them and said calmly, "Stop, Master asked us to wait outside to discuss the results. How can you leave without permission?"
Yu Xiu listened to Yun Shouxi's words the most, and stood up silently after hearing them.
Ling Luo rolled her eyes in her heart and listened to Mu Ya saying, "How could I not beat her! Who is talking nonsense to you, Senior Brother!"
Chu Yi said lazily: "I heard that she broke your sword."
Mu Ya: "That's an ordinary sword! I also broke her sword in the Saha Realm!"
"Use Wangshu? What sword can't cut it?" Chu Yi sneered.
Lingluo lowered her head and laughed in her heart.
Mu Ya was furious. She turned to Ling Luo and said, "Come out! I will compete with you in front of Senior Brother!"
Ling Luo shook her head and said respectfully, "There is no need for a competition. Senior Sister Mu is naturally better than me."
She didn't want to help Chu Yi share Mu Ya's attention.
Just go ahead and pester the senior brother.
But Mu Ya believed that she was being sarcastic and insisted on competing with her, so he stepped forward. Yu Xiu stood between the two and said helplessly: "Mu Ya, why do you have to do this?"
Chu Yi really wanted to see how strong Ling Luo was, so he didn't stop her.
"Senior Brother Yu, please get out of the way." Mu Ya said gritting her teeth.
Ling Luo pointed behind her and said, "Disciples are forbidden to fight privately. What will we do if Hall Master Fan sees this?"
Mu Ya turned around and saw Master Fan and Song Yuanyuan walking towards them.
The doors behind them opened at the same time, and Mu Hengtian and his companions came out. Mu Ya then shut up and retreated, but she did not forget to glare at Ling Luo fiercely.
"Master." Yu Xiu said.
Yun Shouxi glanced at his three disciples and said to Ling Luo, "It's late at night and the dew is heavy. Your injury hasn't healed yet. Go back to Qingshifang and rest first."
Lingluo lowered her head and accepted the order.
Seeing Ling Luo leave, Chu Yi snorted softly: "Little Junior Sister is favored."
Yun Shouxi smiled: "When you were her age, did I ever criticize you?"
Chu Yi raised his hand and touched his nose without saying anything.
"If you are tired, you can go back with your sister." Yun Shouxi said, "I am afraid it will take some time tonight."
Yu Xiu said: "Disciple is not tired."
Chu Yi followed Yun Shouxi and said calmly, "I just came back not long ago, and I also want to see more of the night view of the sect."
Although Lingluo was ordered to go back, she did not leave.
She waited patiently outside the hall for a while, and finally Song Yuanyuan came out.
Song Yuanyuan received the message from Yu Ting and knew that she was waiting outside, so she came over and said, "Chang Fei, Xiao Adie, and Xu Shen are lighting blessing lanterns over at Dingshan River. I was called here by Master to question him. After the questioning, I was just about to go over to join them."
One of the major events after the ancestral worship ceremony is to release blessing lanterns in the Dingshan River, which cuts across the inner and outer gates of Tianji on Dongdao Island.
Not many people knew about the Second Hall Master's incident, and most of the disciples were not affected, so they had a lot of fun.
When Lingluo arrived, she saw quite a few people gathered in groups of three or five by the Dingshan River, making a lively scene.
There were already many lights on the river, as well as lanterns with paper wishes for blessings.
The glowing firelight illuminated the river like a long dragon, winding through the mountains.
Xu Shen handed Ling Luo a blessing lantern. Ling Luo took it in her hand and looked at it, but she showed no interest.
The place where a few people stay is relatively quiet and less crowded.
By the Dingshan River, Song Yuanyuan tilted her head to look at what was written on Chang Fei's prayer paper, but Chang Fei pushed her away angrily: "What are you looking at! Write it yourself!"
"Let's see what's going on!" Song Yuanyuan said confidently, "I can even give you more blessings after I see it!"
"Your bad luck!" Chang Fei muttered, and continued writing quietly.
Lingluo walked to the riverside, stopped beside Yue Liangze, bent down and looked at him, "What are you writing?"
"Prayers." Yue Liangze said, covering his face with one hand and said, "Don't look at it."
Ling Luo: “…”
She said something similar to Song Yuanyuan: "Let's see what's wrong. It won't work if you put it in the river anyway."
Yue Liangze: "Sincerity is the key to success."
Ling Luo laughed and said, "Then if I write 'Grandmaster bless me tonight and I can destroy the Heavenly Dao and kill my enemies,' it will also come true?"
Yue Liangze looked up at her with a strange look in his eyes: "Your wish... is a little difficult."
"Sincerity is the key to success. You are just kidding children." Lingluo said, bending down and putting the prayer lantern without any wish written on it into the river.
"Lingluo," Yue Liangze said, "You didn't write a prayer."
His reminder was meant to be kind, but it made Ling Luo confused.
This was the first time she heard Yue Liangze calling her name after her rebirth.
But what Lingluo remembered at this moment was the night in the tower of Nanjiang City in her previous life when Yue Liangze surrendered to her and was pulled down from a high place by her into the quagmire of desire.
That night the man kept calling her name over and over again.
Intimate, ambiguous, repressed, passionate, one sound after another.
It seemed that he had not lost all his sanity as he had thought, and he was even very clear about who the person under him was and what he looked like.
Ling Luo laughed at him at first, but then her face turned red after hearing what he said, and she bit his shoulder in anger, "Don't call me by my name anymore!"
Yue Liangze returned her kiss and said in a hoarse voice: "You said before that you would let me do whatever I want."
The red fish touched her fingertips as it swam through the water. The cold touch startled Ling Luo so much that she came back to her senses instantly. She immediately stood up and took several steps back, then pointed at Yue Liangze and said, "You!"
Yue Liangze's eyes were clear and bright, he looked at her quietly and waited for the next part.
Ling Luo felt her cheeks slightly hot. The more he looked at her with such clear and bright eyes, the more she was reminded of the contrast of that night.
"You, you help me get the lamp back." Lingluo said fiercely.
Yue Liangze said "oh" and stood up to retrieve the prayer lantern that had not yet floated away and handed it to her.
Lingluo took the lamp, took out the prayer paper inside, frowned for a moment, and then wrote three or two lines with her spiritual power.
She stuffed the prayer paper back without changing her expression, and said to Yue Liangze: "You insisted that I write it."
Yue Liangze tilted his head.
It was time to light lanterns together again. People living by the Dingshan River released their blessing lanterns into the river and let them drift with the current.
The red prayer paper was covered with dense black words.
"I wish I could make lots of money, buy food for Song Yuanyuan, talisman paper for Xu Shen, gold jewelry for Lingluo, and nice clothes for Senior Brother Yue."
"I wish that I can succeed in my cultivation and protect the good people in the world and my friends around me."
"I wish I could learn all the mantras and laws in the world. I also wish my good friend and master peace and prosperity, and a long and healthy life."
"In the art of swordsmanship, Danshui is second, and I am first."
"May she be free from illness, pain, disaster and trouble."
The light swallowed up the prayer paper, turning it into night sparks and sending it to another world.
