Chapter 74: The shadow of Du Chuanting in the sword moves

Yue You gritted his teeth. What happened during the two years he was in seclusion?

Why did such a ridiculous rumor come out? And Mu Qi didn't refute it?

"Tell me carefully where this rumor came from!"

The Great Elder saw him gritting his teeth and his voice became much weaker, "Why, why is Mu Qi not your daughter, Sect Master?"

"What do you think?" The coldness in Yue You's eyes could freeze people.

The Great Elder shuddered, and honestly explained the cause and effect of the investigation one by one, and finally asked carefully: "Could it be that what Venerable Du and Venerable Min said is wrong? Otherwise, why did you suddenly bring Mu Qi back from the disciple recruitment conference? At that time, Mu Qi was tested and found to have only 50 wood spiritual roots."

Speaking of this, the Great Elder was puzzled. "Hey? Why did the test go wrong? It's obviously impossible for Mu Qi to only have Rooting 50. It's impossible for Rooting 50 to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building so quickly. Hey, I have to test her again some other day."

Yue You ignored the elder's nagging, her eyes colder than the night, "So it was these two who did it."

The Great Elder was surprised, "Playing tricks? But why would they say such nonsense? There is no reason."

Yue You sneered and changed the subject, asking, "What have Du Chuanting and Min Haojue done in the past two years?"

"This is going to cause a big stir." The elder was obviously excited when talking about gossip. "Master, you may not know that Venerable Du has a very poor vision. He is also impatient. The news has spread all over the cultivation world..."

Yue You frowned, "Speak more carefully."

"A year and a half ago, Venerable Du went to their sect and brought back a 15-year-old girl who was dark and ugly. He announced that he would accept her as his personal disciple. Everyone was stunned. Why would he accept anyone else when he could accept an ugly disciple with poor talent? That was his first disciple!"

"Later, everyone understood that it was Master Du who fell in love with that girl. It was really unexpected! But everyone didn't understand why he took her as his disciple. It was really strange. Everyone guessed that he had a taboo habit of master-disciple love..."

"The reputation of Venerable Du has been completely ruined because of that girl. Someone saw him twice flying in the sky with that girl on a sword, and he even took off his clothes and tried to do that. Oh, it makes me blush!"

Yue You had no expression on his face after hearing this, but he had a strong bad premonition in his heart, and his premonitions were never wrong.

He asked, "What has Mu Qi been doing in the past two years? Has he ever left the sect?"

The Great Elder shook his head. "Mu Qi is such a well-behaved child. She said you wouldn't let her go out, so she has been staying in the sect for the past two years. She has been refining pills most of the time. Sect Master, you don't know that Mu Qi is really a genius. The more than 10 kinds of pills she has researched this year have spread throughout the cultivation world. Disciples from other sects have been trying to find our disciples to help buy them."

"Mu Qi is really generous. She even gave away the elixir recipes she developed to the sect for free, saying that good medicines should not be kept in one person's hands. She said that since they are useful to everyone, we should all make them together. I have never seen such a selfless disciple in my life!"

"Oh, I wish Mu Qi was my daughter." The Great Elder sighed.

Yue You still felt that something was wrong, "Are you sure Mu Qi has never left the sect?"

The Great Elder hesitated after hearing what was said, thought for a moment and shook his head again, "Mu Qi has been in seclusion in the alchemy room for a year and has not left. After that, she participated in the sect competition. She even won the first place in the foundation building competition. After that, she has been under everyone's eyes, making pills, finding people to test the medicine, and fighting for the disciples. This year has been very lively with her."

Yue You immediately discovered the key point, "You said she won first place in the foundation building competition?"

The Great Elder: "Yes! That competition was really exciting. Wen Yan, who was originally ranked first in foundation building, was no match for her. Her sword moves were really powerful. It can be seen that she improved on the Nine Heavens Sword Art herself."

Yue You suddenly curled her lips and sneered, still remembering what she saw in the Kongling Mirror when he brought her back to the sect. At that time, she swung the sword unsteadily, with almost no accuracy, and her moves were limp and soulless.

And after a year of seclusion and alchemy, she was able to tie with Wen Yan? She even improved the Nine Heavens Sword Art he gave her? Her sword moves were even worthy of the Great Elder's praise?

And Du Chuanting, who had never been interested in women, and Venerable Du, who had never accepted disciples because he thought it was troublesome, brought back a little disciple inexplicably that year? And he was so eager for sex that he even did something ridiculous while flying a sword?

All of this is illogical and even weird, isn't it?

"Where is the photo stone from the competition that day? Let me see the one with Mu Qi." Yue You suppressed his uneasy heart. He had to see it with his own eyes before he would believe it.

The Great Elder quickly brought over the photo stone. It was the last match of the finals, and it was a competition between Wen Yan, who was originally the first person in the foundation-building stage, and her. This time, the two of them were much more serious than the previous time. They used their most powerful sword moves, and the fight was exceptionally exciting.

Yue You watched it from beginning to end, but why couldn't she see any shadow of Du Chuanting's sword moves in those sword moves?

Ice formed on his expressionless face, and he finally couldn't help but slam the chair beside him. The chair shattered into powder on the spot, scaring the great elder.

His tone was as cold as the stagnant water in a deep pool in the dark night, "Mu Qi, Du Chuanting... Oh, good job!"

The Great Elder felt the coldness emanating from him and shuddered in fear, "Sect Master, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yue You flicked his sleeves and left. Even the grass trembled wherever he passed.

The Great Elder was spinning around in the same place. He was finished. It looked like Mu Qi had offended the Sect Master in some way. Would the Sect Master hit him?

Mu Qi is such a beautiful, well-behaved, tender-skinned and good child, but she can't stand being beaten!

"Master, calm down!" The Great Elder shouted and ran after him.

Yue You came to Ju Ran Peak and kicked open Mu Qi's door. His face was cold and the violent rise and fall of his chest showed how restless he was.

However, when his eyes fell on the innocent-looking little girl sleeping on the bed, his heart suddenly trembled.

My heart suddenly felt sore.

Why didn't she listen? Why did she run away?

Why do you have to be like Du Chuanting?

Do you like him that much?

Yue You stared at the little person sleeping on the bed for a long time, her heart burning with anger, but she was reluctant to wake her up and question her.

What are you asking?

It is her freedom to leave the sect or not. He brought her back by force, and he can stop her for a while but not for a lifetime.

The last words he said to her before the retreat were: "Muqi, don't let me down."

He was actually afraid that she would go with Du Chuanting. Compared to his coldness and unpleasantness, Du Chuanting looked rough, but was much gentler and more delicate than him.

When Du Chuanting came that day, he could see what he was thinking at a glance.

And he had despicably lied to her that he would be hurt by those two if he left the sect.

How could that be? Du Chuanting obviously had feelings for her, and Min Haojue was so stupid that he didn't pose any threat at all.

He coaxed her not to go out, but in fact he just wanted her to stay in the sect and wait for him to come out.

But she had clearly agreed, and she still went out with that man, and lied to him that she had stayed in the sect obediently.

Yue You's eyes were sore and she stood there looking at Mu Qi lying on the bed for a long time until the great elder arrived. Then she turned around, closed the door and left.

The elder looked at the lonely figure of the sect master and was confused for a moment. What was going on? Why couldn't he understand it?
