If we meet again in the future, we'll be enemies!

Hang Jingyi was truly moved. Actually, if it weren't for this sudden turn of events, he should have thanked Ye Liang for strengthening their weapons before their last parting. They hadn't anticipated how dangerous the operation to kill the Beast King would be; many nearly died. Fortunately, Ye Liang had strengthened their weapons before parting, greatly enhancing their combat power and saving many lives. This was a great favor! They should be grateful!

However, the sudden incident of their elders' Golden Core realm being destroyed meant that not only could they no longer express their gratitude, but they feared that if they ever met again, they would only become enemies facing each other with swords drawn.

This actually made Hang Jingyi feel a little regretful.

However, he could not say these words.

As a disciple of the Haoqi Sect, he had to prioritize the sect's interests. This identity made it impossible for him to be polite to the person who had crippled one of their sect's Golden Core stage elders.

A Golden Core Realm expert has had their Golden Core destroyed. Do they really think cultivating a Golden Core Realm expert is so easy? For the sect, such a loss is enormous and unacceptable.

His sect would certainly not let this go. Knowing the serious implications, as a disciple of the Haoqi Sect, Hang Jingyi would naturally not give anyone any ammunition to use against him, and would resolutely sever ties with Ye Liang!

Upon hearing that the chosen one had arrived, the masters of the Hidden Sword Pavilion excitedly led their disciples to welcome him.

However, before meeting the chosen successor whom they regarded as the symbol of the Daoist sect, the master of the Hidden True Sword Pavilion couldn't help but remind Ye Liang, saying, "Given the strength of a Golden Core stage expert's will, even if his Golden Core is destroyed, he shouldn't be so easily driven to mental collapse and so prone to suicide. I'm worried there might be a trap here!"

Ye Liang smiled and said, "I know. He's worried that I'll eliminate him completely, so he's deliberately putting on this act. He wants to go back to his sect and find an opportunity to avenge me for destroying his Golden Core! Maybe he thinks he still has a chance to make a comeback. Perhaps the Haoqi Sect has a way to restore his Golden Core?"

"You know this, yet you still let him go? Aren't you afraid that he'll go back and, within the Haoqi Sect, exaggerate his words, stir up trouble, and incite the entire Haoqi Sect to be your enemy?" The master of the Hidden True Sword Pavilion suddenly felt that he couldn't see through what this young man, Ye Liang, was thinking.

In short, he was terrifying to her; he was very cunning.

While the master of Cangzhen Sword Pavilion was talking to Ye Liang, the successor of the Cangzhen Sword Pavilion simply stood quietly to the side, waiting for the master to finish speaking.

As the successor of destiny, she is not only unpretentious, but also appears extremely innocent in her eyes and expression.

While listening to the master and Ye Liang talk, she would curiously observe them, wondering who this person was that would make the master care so much.

Ye Liang nodded slightly to her in response to her looking him over.

Seeing Ye Liang nod to their sect's chosen successor, the master of the Hidden True Sword Pavilion finally snapped out of his daze and immediately began introducing Ye Liang to his sect's chosen successor: "Ruoshui, greetings to Young Hero Ye. Young Hero Ye is a disciple of the Bixian Sect, a true disciple of a prestigious and righteous sect. He is also a great hero of our time! You can just call him Brother Ye!"

call!

The successor of the Mandate of Heaven couldn't help but gasp.

The fact that she called him "Big Brother" upon first meeting him was unprecedented; it was the first time someone had been so highly regarded by a master.

As the heir of destiny, despite his noble status, he was very obedient and listened to his elders. He immediately addressed Ye Liang as Brother Ye.

"Greetings, Brother Ye!"

Upon hearing the master tell them that their chosen successor should call him Brother Ye, Ye Liang immediately understood that the master probably wanted their chosen successor to become friends with him, just like Lin Yan.

However, this isn't exactly a scheming act, since it's not an intention to harm anyone.

Ye Liang didn't mind and immediately said, "I didn't dare to accept the title of 'Brother Ye' at first. However, since we hit it off at our first meeting, I'll take the liberty of being the elder brother for once. I hope Miss Ruoshui won't take offense."

"No offense, no offense!" Before Lu Ruoshui could answer, the master quickly answered for her.

Lu Ruoshui suddenly felt that Ye Liang was somewhat frightening, probably because she felt that there was a frivolous undertone in his words just now, so she was simply a little afraid of this unruly man.

Sensing his disciple's worry, the master of Cangzhen Sword Pavilion immediately instructed the successor of Destiny beside him: "Ruoshui, don't overthink it. Young Hero Ye isn't the frivolous type. When he says he feels a connection with you, he probably really means it. His senior sisters are all peerless, especially Young Hero Ye's eldest senior sister; you'll be amazed when you see her!"

These words from the master of Cangzhen Sword Pavilion were clearly an implication that his sect's chosen successor, Ye Liang, was not a frivolous man who would harass any beautiful woman he saw.

He is not that superficial.

"Really? That's good!" Upon hearing this, Lu Ruoshui felt much more relaxed and stuck out her tongue slightly, saying, "Just now, I was really worried that Brother Ye was the kind of troublesome man who would pester girls. It turns out Brother Ye isn't like that, so I'm relieved. Then you're my Brother Ye!"

When the girl smiled, it had a pure, clear, and bright quality, like the sky above.

It truly makes one feel that he is worthy of being the chosen successor of the Taoist sect.

Like ice and snow that have been refined, it is even more exquisitely pure.

Ye Liang smiled and said, "I'm very happy to be your brother Ye. You've just returned, and your journey must have been tiring. I won't disturb you any longer. You and the master can talk in peace. I'll take my leave now."
