“Okay!” Xuan Yuanzhan readily agreed.
Actually, after he married Ning'er, he always wanted to take Ning'er to formally meet his master!
There were just too many things going on before, and he and Ning'er had a lot of misunderstandings. Now that the misunderstandings have been cleared up, there is no longer any distance between him and Ning'er, and it is time to take her to meet her master.
However, Ning'er is asleep now, and he really can't bear to wake her up, so he'll have to do it another time.
Xuanyuan Zhan, as if remembering something, looked at Lu Shao and asked, "Did Master want to see me about something?"
Lu Shao took out a secret manual from his pocket and handed it to Xuan Yuanzhan.
Xuan Yuanzhan curiously took it, looking at the two large characters "Xuanmen" on the manual, somewhat bewildered: "What is this?"
Lu Shao sighed softly and explained, "This is the most advanced martial arts manual of my Xuanmen sect. It contains not only internal energy cultivation methods, but also the most advanced sword techniques, as well as my Xuanmen sect's secret technique, the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Doctor."
...Xuanyuan Zhan was a little confused by his repeated use of "Xuanmen": "You mean our sect is called 'Xuanmen'?"
He had asked him more than once before what sect they belonged to, and each time he had evaded the question.
So their sect was called Xuanmen?
Hmm, this is a problem...
Lu Shao really didn't dare to answer his question, after all, the Xuanmen had many enemies.
What if this kid actually starts to see himself as a member of the Xuanmen sect...?
No, that's not right either. It would be terrible if others mistook him for someone from the Xuanmen sect.
"Ahem~" Lu Shao coughed lightly, and subconsciously lowered his voice to say, "It is like this, your master is indeed from the Xuanmen, but the Xuanmen no longer exists, so let's not talk about this sect or sect anymore."
Xuan Yuanzhan was taken aback again, blinked, and said, "The Xuanmen is gone? Then why did you give me this manual? Do you want me to restore the Xuanmen?"
"No, no, no." Lu Shao was startled by Xuan Yuanzhan's words: "What do you mean by restoring the Xuanmen? I never said that! Our Xuanmen did do a lot of things that offended people in the martial arts world. Although our intentions may have been good, people in the martial arts world could not understand us. But now that the Xuanmen has been destroyed, there is no need to restore it."
My senior brothers have all passed away, the Xuanmen sect has been destroyed, and the members of the Xuanmen sect are either dead or scattered. What is there to restore?
Most importantly, Xuanmen has so many enemies, and he doesn't want this foolish boy to go and restore Xuanmen, which would only bring him a bunch of enemies!
Xuan Yuanzhan's eyelids twitched. The Xuanmen sect had actually been destroyed?
Suddenly, Xuan Yuanzhan felt as if he had entered a forbidden sect.
"Then why did you give me this manual?"
This doesn't require him to restore the Xuanmen sect, so why is he suddenly sending him a secret manual?
Lu Shao gave him a reproachful look: "Of course I'm giving you this manual so you can practice martial arts properly. Because the Xuanmen has too many enemies, I'm worried that if I pass on all the Xuanmen techniques to you, you might expose them to outsiders and attract the Xuanmen's enemies. My original intention was to teach you martial arts so you could strengthen your body and have the ability to protect yourself, so I naturally don't want to bring trouble upon you. But yesterday, after being advised by a master, I still feel it would be a real pity if the Xuanmen's techniques were to end with me. In addition, a long time has passed, and the Xuanmen's enemies may have forgotten about the Xuanmen, so I brought this manual to you."
As if afraid he wouldn't accept it, Lu Shao added, "The miscellaneous martial arts I taught you before are not even 30% as good as our Xuanmen's techniques. You have a natural talent for martial arts. As long as you practice diligently according to this manual, your martial arts will definitely improve greatly."
Xuanyuan Zhan understood. He thought of the eighth level of Long Jiaojiao's Free and Unfettered Divine Skill, so he accepted the manual: "Thank you, Master. I will definitely cultivate it well."
His martial arts skills do need improvement. Right now, he can still fight Long Jiaojiao to a draw at the eighth level of her Free and Unfettered Divine Skill, but if she cultivates to the ninth or tenth level, he may no longer be her match.
In order to defeat Long Jiaojiao and protect Ning'er, he had to accept this secret manual.
It must be said that the master's secret manual came at just the right time; it was exactly what he needed right now.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Zhan accepted the manual, Lu Shao was immediately delighted. He patted Xuanyuan Zhan on the shoulder and said, "Alright, take this manual back and study it carefully. If there's anything you don't understand, send a message to ask your master. What I taught you back then was our Xuanmen mental cultivation method, so you should be able to understand this manual."
“Okay.” Xuan Yuanzhan nodded in agreement.
Lu Shao thought for a moment and then said, "The techniques in this manual are somewhat peculiar, unlike ordinary martial arts. If you are really interested in these techniques, your master will help you regulate your body. However, there are many skills in the Xuanmen sect, and you will have to endure a lot of hardship if you want to master them."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanzhan recalled that his master had said something similar when he was learning the mental cultivation technique from him.
He was only five or six years old at the time, and he almost went insane while learning the mental techniques his master taught him.
Master also said that this mental cultivation method is a bit strange. If you want to master it, you must have a will ten times stronger than ordinary people. He almost couldn't endure it.
Therefore, he could imagine how difficult this technique was to learn.
However, when he thought of that woman, Long Jiaojiao, Xuan Yuanzhan felt that there was no suffering he couldn't endure.
He must avenge the loss of the Love Flower Gu. Moreover, given Long Jiaojiao's personality, even if he doesn't actively seek revenge, she might not let him go. She might even harm Ning'er again. Therefore, he must learn this technique!
"Don't worry, Master, I will study hard."
Lu Shao knew he would be interested in Xuanmen techniques, so he nodded approvingly and said, "Alright, that's all I wanted to talk to you about. Go back now, don't let your wife catch a cold."
The night was chilly, and the gloom in the woods was even heavier.
“Okay.” Xuan Yuanzhan replied, bowed to Lu Shao, and then leaped away with Su Xuening in his arms and disappeared.
The heron waited in the woods for a while before flying out of the forest.
Just as Lu Shao was about to fly towards Bailong Temple, he heard a familiar voice say, "Master, you're going the wrong way."
...Heron whistle stumbled and almost fell from mid-air.
He turned around abruptly and saw Xuan Yuanzhan carrying Su Xuening floating behind him.
"What...what direction is wrong?" Lu Shao stammered as he barely managed to steady himself.
Xuan Yuanzhan said innocently, "Going back to Bailong Temple is going south. You've gone in the wrong direction. We'll have to spend another night trying to find our way back to Bailong Temple."
...Upon hearing this, Lu Shao was so shocked that he almost lost his mind, staring at Xuan Yuanzhan in disbelief: "You...you...I...I...how did you know I was going to Bailong Temple?"
Realizing she had misspoke, Lu Shao immediately covered her face, making sure her veil was still on, before stammering a denial: "No, no, no, I didn't go to Bailong Temple. Who said I was going to Bailong Temple?"
Seeing that he was still trying to deny it, Xuan Yuanzhan looked helpless: "Do you dare to take off the veil on your face and the headscarf on your head, Master Daoyi?"
