Ling Yunpo was naturally prepared for the fact that he would need to recharge and renew his identity as the master of Taiyin Sword every time he used it.

The reason is very simple: if Ah Jing could burn spiritual power without any burden and allow himself to use the Taiyin Suming Sword 365 days a year, he would have killed the four sects and snatched all the fragments of the Bu Tian Stone long ago. Would he still need to play the game of Infernal Affairs here?

The existence of the Taiyin Suming Sword, in addition to being a nuclear strategic trump card, is more used for conventional deterrence and reputation spreading.

Needless to say, the four petals of Mount Emei are still standing there!

The latter, of course, needs no elaboration. The identity of Taiyin Sword Master is of far greater significance to the sword practitioners of the world than the strength he himself can exert.

Let's take Shushan as an example. These days, there has been an endless stream of real people from various peaks visiting Qingluo Peak, almost perfectly replicating the scene when Qiu Changtian formed the first-grade golden elixir and the entrance of Jinling Cave was packed with people.

However, unlike the popular Chang Geng Zhenren, most of the Shushan Zhenren who came to visit Qingheng and Jiangxiao this time came to negotiate peace.

What are they talking about? Of course, it’s the past hatred.

Due to Su Jian's tyranny and strength back then, he created a lot of hatred among his fellow disciples in Shushan, and these hatreds blossomed through interpersonal relationships such as master and apprentice, fellow disciples, and Taoist companions. In the end, a large group of people in Shushan were dissatisfied with Qingluo Peak, and even went to find trouble with An Zhisu during Su Jian's retreat.

But although there are many such people, they are not all of the Shangqing Sect of Mount Shu. After all, there are people among the various peaks who are not involved in the network of hatred.

Now with Su Jian coming out of retreat to take over as the headmaster, and Taoist Qingheng becoming the master of Taiyin Sword, Qingluo Peak has also turned around and become a flying dragon in the sky. If the other peaks still cannot recognize the current situation, they are suggested to become brothers in distress with Ziyun Peak. Since Elder Minghua was killed as a traitor, all his disciples fled to other peaks, leaving only the abandoned Taoist temple on Ziyun Peak standing alone on the top of the mountain.

Although the Taiyin Sword Master did not have the notoriety of "cutting people with his own sword at will" like the Mocking Sword Immortal, his deeds of splitting Mount Emei with his sword were too scary after all. In addition, no one wanted to be suddenly identified as a traitor one day, and then have the mountain where they lived split by a sword... Therefore, they quickly counted those real people who had not made enemies with An Zhisu, and hurried to Qingluo Peak to reconcile the grudge and apologize.

As a result, the entrance of the Qingluo Peak Taoist Temple was crowded with guests for more than ten days in a row, and the threshold of the temple was almost broken down by people.

Although An Zhisu is good at fighting, she is completely useless when it comes to entertaining people. Ling Yunpo can only ask her to continue to be a background cloth. Usually, she just sits beside and smiles. When the guests talk to her, she just says "yes", "good", "that's true". Ling Yunpo has to do the reception of guests himself.

Although this task was dull and tedious, Ling Yunpo had experience after all and was familiar with it. He was also very skilled in dealing with guests, and it was impossible to find fault with him at all.

After Su Jian heard about this, he made a special trip from the Patriarch's Hall to take a look. He was greatly relieved to see that Ling Yunpo was indeed very versatile, had many connections, and responded appropriately.

Although he is not good at interpersonal communication, it is only because of the arrogance brought about by his strong strength, not because he really has low emotional intelligence. Naturally, he also knows that An Zhisu, as his daughter, is also a dull person in this regard.

Disciple Qingheng can single-handedly uphold the reputation of our Qingluo Peak in this regard, and your master is truly satisfied.

With this in mind, Su Jian, although he was busy with the affairs of the headmaster, still stayed and talked with Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu for a few more words.

Although An Zhisu had great respect for her father, for some reason she always addressed him as "Master" instead of "Father". She also treated Su Jian as a disciple, and there was no intimacy between their conversations that could only be between a father and daughter.

Su Jian was used to this. After asking a few questions about his daughter's situation, he began to encourage Ling Yunpo again:

"Thank you for your hard work these days."

"It's not hard, not hard at all." Ling Yunpo said modestly, sneering in his heart.

Compared to these days, the time when you were in seclusion was truly hard!

Su Jian probably also realized the problem with his words, and quickly said with emotion:

"During that time, I was away in seclusion, so Qingluo Peak relied entirely on you and Su'er to support it."

"You and Su'er", first Ling Yunpo, then An Zhisu, it seems that this cheap master is very clear about who he is more influential on, but it is estimated that he just blurted out what he was thinking, and he did not intend to use this word order to appease Ling Yunpo.

However, this character is really in line with An Zhisu.

With Ling Yunpo's experienced eye for people, he could of course see through Su Jian's thoughts instantly.

First of all, this master, like Senior Sister An, has a strong "family concept".

What is the family concept? It means dividing the people around you into two groups: "family members" and "outsiders". Family members are absolutely trustworthy, so their treatment must not be bad.

To put it in a more popular way, it is "protecting one's shortcomings", completely unreasonable protection of one's shortcomings.

Since Ling Yunpo is already a disciple and has made so many contributions to Qingluo Peak, he is undoubtedly a family member through and through, so Su Jian must value him very much.

However, no matter how much they valued each other, Su Jian had been in seclusion for many years. Not only did the master and disciple have a estranged relationship, they even didn't know each other until recently. Of course, Su Jian felt awkward and uncomfortable.

On the one hand, he wanted to be close to her and protect her, but on the other hand, he was really unfamiliar with her, so he had to get familiar with her as soon as possible. And since Su Jian was a teacher, he would of course choose the "find something to talk about" mode, trying to get closer to her in a short period of time.

Ling Yunpo knew this clearly, so he naturally had a plan to deal with it: "Remember the bitter past and think of the sweet present."

Although the two are not familiar with each other, they do have something in common: Qingluo Peak and An Zhisu.

Since the master had spoken in advance, he of course took over the topic and talked at length about "how unfavorable the situation was on Qingluo Peak when you were in seclusion, and how much suffering my sister and I endured."

Speaking of suffering, seeing Su Jian's hesitant and ashamed expression, Ling Yunpo immediately understood and quickly put away the original sad topic and talked about "But after unremitting efforts, my senior sister and I finally achieved this and that", and the tone became uplifting again.

You know, although Su Jian is protective of his shortcomings, he just doesn't take it hard. Now as the headmaster of Shushan, all the peaks are vying to come to Qingluo Peak to admit their mistakes. He can't say "I don't forgive, I want to get it back", otherwise Shushan will probably disintegrate directly.

When Ling Yunpo talked about the past, Su Jian felt regretful and also blamed himself for being powerless now. However, when Ling Yunpo talked about the achievements made later, Su Jian felt that "the young generation will have a promising future after all", and his mood suddenly turned from gloomy to cheerful.

When Ling Yunpo was speaking, An Zhisu did not try to undermine his junior brother, but just continued to say "yeah", "that's right", and "junior brother, you are absolutely right".

In Su Jian's eyes, all of this naturally became proof that what Ling Yunpo said was true.

It can only be said that although Su Jian has outstanding attainments in swordsmanship, his abilities in certain areas are far inferior to those of someone else.

After leaving Qingluo Peak, the Shushan headmaster was in a good mood. He was about to return to the Patriarch's Hall to handle government affairs when he met Elder Yujing passing by nearby. The two greeted each other.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Yujing thought that the old father-in-law seemed to be very satisfied with his son-in-law.

That's true. After all, he is the Master of Taiyin Sword and has been in love with True Man Jiangxiao for many years. How could Su Jian not be satisfied?

I just don't know when the two of them can become Taoist companions... Su Jian has created too much hatred in the past. Although he is now the new leader and has the secret support of the Long-browed Immortal, his prestige is still unstable.

If the Master of Taiyin Sword and the True Man Jiangxiao could officially become Taoist partners, it would definitely be beneficial for him to consolidate his position as the head of the sect.

Well, I have to go over and remind them.
