Cold Frost slammed its whip into the ground, creating a long crack. The onlookers screamed and quickly left.

Oh no, oh no! I was watching the show and I actually witnessed this scene: someone took away the person Leng Shuang was supposed to take away right in front of her.

This ruthless person seems to have a powerful background, yet he dared to offend Leng Shuang, and Leng Shuang seems to be helpless against him.

Hurry up, hurry up. They don't know if seeing this scene will make Leng Shuang hold a grudge. Such a disgraceful side of her life will definitely become a stain on her life. They don't want to be witnesses at all.

"Captain, what do we do now?"

"Fall back."

Leng Shuang's figure remained tall and ethereal, exuding an indescribable charm. However, a hint of anger was steadily growing within her.

At Tianjian Peak, Jue Chen led Xiu Qiyu directly back to the waterfall. Qin Wu and Sang Yu were still quietly playing their zithers under the tree, while Sang Yu was drinking wine intermittently in the tree.

When Jue Chen descended from the sky with Xiu Qiyu, Qin Wu's zither music stopped abruptly, and Sang Yu almost dropped the wine bottle in her hand. Her pale yellow gauze dress fluttered, and a fierce look suddenly appeared on her round and cute face.

"Senior Brother, what exactly is going on?"

Although Xiu Qiyu is not yet a member of their Tianjian Peak, after spending so much time together, they have come to accept him as a person and for his swordsmanship. If their master were to emerge from seclusion, Xiu Qiyu would undoubtedly become their youngest junior brother, something everyone would be happy to see.

Why is Xiu Qiyu in such a sorry state today? It seems she was beaten up and her injuries are quite serious.

"He's had a bad day, he fell into the hands of the enforcement team. If I hadn't arrived in time, who knows what kind of trouble Leng Shuang would have given him."

"That woman is getting more and more outrageous." Sang Yu snapped off a tree branch with a displeased expression.

"She's always been like this. She only cares about the sect's rules, not about human relationships or justice." Qin Wu said calmly, then walked up to Xiu Qiyu and checked him over.

"My vital energy is depleted, my internal organs are in shock, and I also have some external injuries. I need to recuperate slowly."

"Thank you." Xiu Qiyu sat down, leaned against the tree, took out a bottle of top-grade Lesser Rejuvenation Pills from his spatial ring, poured out one, and swallowed it.

"Where did you get the pills in your hand?" Although they didn't have any fragrance, their shape and color clearly indicated that they were top-grade pills.

"This was made for me by my personal alchemist."

"Where is he now?" Qin Wu was eager to see the alchemist.

"She returned to Haoqi Pavilion."

Jue Chen thought of a person. Could it be that little guy? His swordsmanship was unbelievably bad, but his true essence was profound, and the flames in his hands were also very powerful. Every time he came, he would clamor to join the Heavenly Sword Peak.

"If I have the chance, I'd like to meet you."

“There will be an opportunity, it’s that little guy I mentioned to you.” Jue Chen said to Xiu Qiyu very seriously, “He is an excellent alchemist, you must not let him down, you must use the sword in your hand to protect him.”

"I understand, thank you for informing me, senior brothers."

Xiu Qiyu began to meditate and heal his injuries. Qin Wubing's cold, pale palms were placed against Xiu Qiyu's back to help him neutralize the effects of the medicine.

Sang Yu leaped down from the tree, flying like a yellow butterfly to Xiu Qiyu's side.

"Senior Brother, how did he get these injuries?"

“I arrived too late. He was already like this. The last injury on his body must have been caused by Cold Frost.”

"I know, senior brother. Please take good care of him. I'll be right back."

"Junior sister, remember, don't confront Leng Shuang head-on; you're no match for her."

Sang Yu took another sip of wine: "Perhaps. As long as I can drag her down to hell with me, I'll be satisfied."

"Junior Sister, if something happens to you and he wakes up, you'll never see him again."

"It's been so long, is there still hope? Tell me."

"Yes, definitely. His life force is not completely gone. This is a glimmer of hope given to him by Heaven. You must try to think more positively."

"I was just kidding, Senior Brother. My life is mine to keep, and I won't easily hand it over to others."

"That's good. Go ahead, come back for lunch." Jue Chen waved his hand, and a broken broom appeared in his hand at some point.

Sang Yu's pale yellow figure gradually disappeared into the misty, herb-covered Tianjian Peak.

At the same time, Leng Shuang had just returned when she was summoned by the Grand Elder.

"May I ask what business you have with me?" Facing the Grand Elder of Tianjian Peak, Leng Shuang's expression remained unchanged, cold and devoid of any human warmth.

"I know everything that happened today. You've passed."

"You said I went too far." Leng Shuang's voice trembled slightly. Over the years, I have done so much for the sect, even at the cost of getting my hands stained with blood. Now, for the sake of Xiu Qiyu, she has gone too far.

“You know better than I do what really happened. By doing this, you almost caused the sect to lose a peerless genius.”

"I don't ask for reasons, I only look at the results. Whether he can cultivate the Heavenly Sword, I don't know. I only know that he violated the sect's rules."

"The sect's rules, the sect's rules... Over the years, the power that the enforcement team has given you seems to have clouded your judgment. Do you still remember what you thought and wanted before you joined the enforcement team? Are your current actions truly not contrary to your original intentions?"

"The Grand Elder is right. I will resign from my position as captain of the enforcement team now and focus on my cultivation from now on. I will no longer concern myself with the affairs of the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"You're threatening me." The elder's white beard trembled violently, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.

"Leng Shuang dares not."

“I’ve spoiled you all these years.” The elder sighed. “You may leave now. This matter ends here. There’s no need to pursue it any further.”

"Is this meant to keep you company, or is it the sect's intention?"

Is there a difference?

"I see."

"From now on, Xiu Qiyu shall be regarded as a member of Tianjian Peak."

"Is this also the sect's intention?"

"good."

"Frost takes its leave."

Leng Shuang turned and left. The Grand Elder sighed. She was clearly his own granddaughter, with good talent and aptitude. How did she develop such a personality?

Arrogant, conceited, and headstrong.

Being in her position all these years has certainly not been easy, but he was more worried about Leng Shuang's future. He didn't know how much longer he could stay in the mortal realm, or how much longer he could protect her.

"team leader--"

"Nobody needs to follow me. I need to have some peace and quiet."

"Yes, Captain."
