Below, Qiao Qiu whispered to Sisi, "How did you find me?" She had already changed her appearance and suppressed her cultivation, so how could she still be so easy to recognize?

Sisi chuckled mischievously, "It's a secret."

"A secret?" Qiao Qiu tapped her little head. "Yes...you still have a secret from me, this is..."

The words "betraying one's master" stuck in her throat, unable to come out or come down. Qiao Qiu sighed and rubbed her forehead, realizing that she had really gotten too into the role of her master lately.

Sisi smiled and said, "Please let Sisi have a little secret, otherwise I'll be terrified if I can't find you in the future."

Qiao Qiu slapped her forehead again, this time with force. Sisi covered her forehead, her little face scrunched up. "What are you talking about dying for? I think you're just too dependent on me. In a couple of days, I'll send you to the Seven Star Illusionary Realm to properly train your independent personality."

"Hmph, I don't want to!" Sisi was a little upset by what was said, so she huffed and ran away.

"Sigh...sigh." Qiao Qiu wanted to call out to Sisi, but she managed to control herself in time. She now understood what it meant to know the kindness of parents only after raising a child. She had spoiled her too much and was afraid that she would not be able to be independent. Seeing her sad made her feel sad.

"Master," Gu Yu murmured. He had witnessed the whole process from above, and his hands on his knees unconsciously tightened, his eyes overflowing with heartache.

"Sisi is really outrageous. How could she just run away like that?" Ancestor Shifeng said, "Sect Leader, you'll have to put in some effort regarding Sisi's disciple recruitment."

The sect leader nodded.

Gu Yu frowned, raised her right hand, and a pale blue light flowed from between her fingers, shooting out rapidly and disappearing instantly.

Upon receiving the news, Jiang Xi and the others who were searching for the person immediately headed in two directions.

Qiao Qiu had no interest in staying there, so she turned away and left the bustling competition venue, heading towards the secluded path under the bamboo forest.

The bamboo swayed gently in the wind, and Kunlun disciples passed by every now and then. Their white sect uniforms seemed to suit them perfectly; the men were handsome, and the women beautiful. As Qiao Qiu walked, her emotions gradually calmed. She looked at the ring on her finger. Where was he now?

"Master!"

Upon hearing Jiang Xi's voice, Qiao Qiu immediately realized that this was a telepathic communication technique, and no one else could hear it except her.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Xi and Feng Hongsha appeared in front of her, took her in their leaps, and disappeared in an instant.

Back at Feiyu Peak, Jiang Xi and Feng Hongsha knelt down before Qiao Qiu.

"Master, please reconsider! Although Sisi speaks rashly, her love for you is as clear as day!"

"Entering the Seven Star Illusionary Realm, it will take at least seven hundred years to emerge. Master, can you really bear to not see Sisi for seven hundred years?"

Qiao Qiu stood on the covered bridge, her hands on the railing, her fingers clenched. "You can get up now."

The two stood up. This time, they did not transform into their childhood selves. Instead, they appeared as adults. Xi's eyes seemed to hold the stars of the night sky, and she wore a red dress that exuded passion. Her peach blossom eyes were full of charm.

Qiao Qiu used both hands to remove the restrictions on her body, restoring her original appearance.

Ye Yu's appearance is not particularly stunning, but she has a kind and compassionate quality befitting a teacher.

Qiao Qiu looked at the two of them, "Xi Xi, Hong Sha, what you're saying, how could I not know? But I definitely won't stay in the cultivation world for more than seven hundred years before I ascend to the Upper Immortal Realm. What will happen to Si Si then? She's the most negligent of my disciples. I don't want her to go astray in order to ascend to the Upper Immortal Realm."

"Ah? How could this happen? Master, I can't bear to part with you." Feng Hongsha threw herself into her arms, overcome with grief.

Qiao Qiu patted her back. The images of Ye Yu teaching these disciples kept appearing in her mind these past few days, making her feel affection for them. Saying she was willing to part with them was not so easy.

Feng Hongsha didn't understand, but Jiang Xi, who was also at the Tribulation Transcending stage, did. He asked solemnly, "Master, are you no longer tolerated by the Heavenly Dao Laws of the cultivation world?"

Qiao Qiu looked at him and nodded. "My cultivation level hasn't recovered yet, so the laws of Heaven won't affect me. But once my cultivation level recovers, the tribulation lightning will descend. At that time, whether I want to ascend or not will no longer be within my control."

"So, Master, you went out to face the tribulation without telling us because of this?" Jiang Xi asked.

"Yes, I can't let the lightning tribulation fall on Feiyu Peak. The lightning tribulation of the Tribulation Transcending stage is not something any of you can withstand." Qiao Qiu hugged Feng Hongsha, feeling that her shoulders were a little wet.

“Master, you have exhausted all the rare and precious treasures you have during this tribulation, and the next tribulation is likely to be in two hundred years. In such a short time, will you be able to find them all?” Jiang Xi asked with some concern.

Qiao Qiu smiled and said, "I can't do it alone, but I can rely on you all."

Jiang Xi's eyes lit up. "Okay, Master, just tell me what you need, and I will definitely get it for you."

Feng Hongsha stepped out of her arms, sniffed, and looked at Qiao Qiu with red eyes, "I want to help Master too."

Qiao Qiu touched her chin. She didn't actually need to go into seclusion; even walking, countless streams of water-based spiritual energy would enter her body. The reason she told the sect leader she was going into seclusion wasn't because she was truly in seclusion; she wanted to gather more rare and precious treasures to help her achieve her ascension.

"Alright, but I still need to research a formation that can withstand lightning tribulations. If you succeed, it will be much easier for you to transcend tribulations and ascend to immortality once you set up the formation."

“Master, don’t always think about us, you should think about yourself too,” Jiang Xi said.

Qiao Qiu nodded. "I wonder how Sisi is doing?"

"Don't worry, Master, Junior Sister will be fine," Jiang Xi said. Shang Jin and Liu Yue had gone to find Si Si, and it should be alright to persuade Yi Quan.

Qiao Qiu sighed slightly, feeling a bit of a headache.

...

A day later, Sisi returned and knelt before Qiao Qiu to beg for forgiveness. "Master, Sisi begs you, please don't throw Sisi into the Illusionary Realm. Sisi promises you that she will cultivate diligently. Even if Master ascends to the Immortal Realm in the future, Sisi will still cultivate diligently and not bring shame to Master."

Qiao Qiu reached out to help her up. "If you can think like this, I will feel much more at ease even after I ascend to immortality."

Gu Yu stepped forward and said, “Master, rest assured, your disciple will definitely take care of my junior brothers and sisters.”

Duan Linglong, whose cultivation level was only slightly higher than Sisi's, also stepped forward. "Master, don't worry, Linglong will ascend herself after Sisi ascends."

Sisi felt extremely ashamed and looked at Duan Linglong, who was dressed in black with dark hair, "Seventh Senior Sister, I'm sorry."

Duan Linglong smiled and said, "Our Sisi has grown up."

Sisi said to Qiao Qiu seriously, "Master, Sisi is not what you think. Master's teachings are always engraved in Sisi's heart. Sisi just loves Master, and she understands the principles."

"It seems our Sisi has really grown up." Qiao Qiu smiled with satisfaction. (For the latest chapters, please visit Tangkehang---Mobile Address:)
