Kong Ju sat beside the stone table, looking at the spring with a strange look in his eyes. On his left and right were Mu Xiaoye and Zhou Tingyu.

Kong Ju could never have imagined that Mu Xiaoye's cave was actually the Lingquan Cave where he lived when he was in the outer sect.

The battle that was originally caused by the fight between him and Dapeng when they first met was completely destroyed here.

At that time he had to enter the inner gate immediately, so he simply abandoned it.

Unexpectedly, it was rebuilt by the sect and directly used as a cave for outer disciples.

And Mu Xiaoye naturally "inherited" Kong Ju's cave.

Kong Ju knew without even thinking that this must have been instructed by Huangfu Ying or one of the Dongxian people.

Otherwise, with Mu Xiaoye's strength as a newcomer to the inner sect at that time, he would not have been able to defend the Lingquan Cave.

Zhou Tingyu caught Kong Ju's gaze and said with a smile: "This spiritual spring also witnessed the rise of two generations of disciples of my Cangwu Sect."

"Yes, don't underestimate it because of its small size. Its cultivation level at the Yanglun realm is completely enough for it. It can be considered a hero." Kong Ju said with a sigh on his face.

As he spoke, Kong Ju turned his head to look at Mu Xiaoye, who was already as tall as Zhou Tingyu and did not look smaller even when sitting next to him.

His eyes softened and he asked with a smile, "So Xiao Ye just realized the sword intent?"

When they came back to the cave from the fighting arena, Kong Ju asked Mu Xiaoye when he understood the meaning of sword.

Mu Xiaoye replied that he had just realized it more than two months ago.

"Yes, Xiao Ye didn't know what it was. At that time, he just felt that his sword skills were very smooth under the blessing of that power."

Mu Xiaoye nodded his head quickly and happily shared his secret with Kong Ju.

"Later, Uncle Dongxian told me that it was the sword's will, and that's when I knew of its existence."

"The name Fei Ye was given by Uncle Dongxian."

Because Huangfu Wuqin and Kong Ju both called Dongxian "Uncle Master", Mu Xiaoye followed them and always called Dongxian "Uncle".

Kong Ju looked thoughtful upon hearing this, and thought quietly: "Master Dongxian's intention should be to let Xiao Ye not be obsessed with the sword itself."

"When the sword art is mastered, even a flying flower or a plucked leaf can be used as a sword."

"So Master Dongxian never gave Xiaoye a sword. When she fought with Fang Jianxing just now, she used the ice sword condensed by spiritual power."

Dongxian teaches students in accordance with their aptitude, and his way of teaching Mu Xiaoye is different from Shangguan Yuzhou's. Kong Ju does not practice sword, so he can only understand the surface meaning but cannot understand the deeper meaning.

He could only keep smiling and not give any advice to Maki Xiaoye on kendo.

After thinking about it, Kong Ju reached out and touched Mu Xiaoye's head, praising him generously: "Xiaoye is really a genius. Senior Brother Shangguan understood the meaning of sword at the age of 18 and was already the number one swordsman in Cangwu Sect. Xiaoye may become the next number one swordsman in the future."

Mu Xiaoye disagreed with what Kong Ju said, and pouted her lips and said, "I want to be a person like Brother Kong, and become the number one person in Cangwu Sect."

Like Fang Jianxing, in Mu Xiaoye's heart, Kong Ju's position is above Huangfu Wuqin and Shangguan Yuzhou.

Children don’t have so many cunning thoughts and say whatever they think.

This made Kong Jue laugh and cry, and he jokingly said, "Fortunately, your sister Huangfu is not here, otherwise she would definitely pinch your little face."

"Don't tell Sister Huangfu." Mu Xiaoye stuck out her tongue playfully.

The three of them talked in Lingquan Cave for half a day.

Because Zhou Tingyu was present, he did not mention the matter of Dongxian accepting a disciple. Anyway, as long as he knew where Mu Xiaoye lived, there would be plenty of opportunities to tell this girl in the future.

Near noon, Kong Ju stood up and said goodbye to the two women.

When he took it away, he left behind two bottles of pills, which were the Shenglun Pills.

Zhou Tingyu and Mu Xiaoye are both in the eighth stage of Yanglun. The next step is the ninth stage, which is the realm where they can impact the Ascension Stage.

Kong Ju was about to go to the Endless Sea at the order of the sect, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back, so he simply gave it to them first so that they could use it for their future breakthroughs.

Those are all high-quality Shenglun Pills, and they can be sold for 30,000 yuan each in Tianqi.

Fortunately, Kong Ju didn't feel sad for Zhou Tingyu and Mu Xiaoye.

At the entrance of the cave, Mu Xiaoye reluctantly sent Kong Ju out of the cave, and asked in a crisp voice: "When will Brother Kong come to the outer gate to see Xiaoye?"

Kong Ju looked at Mu Xiaoye who was full of expectation, and could not say anything to refuse, so he just encouraged him: "Xiaoye is only one step away from the ninth level of Yanglun now, why don't you break the mirror quickly, reach the ninth level of Yanglun, and come to the inner gate to find Brother Kong?"

"Okay!" Mu Xiaoye's eyes sparkled, and he responded crisply, "Xiaoye and Sister Zhou will come to the inner gate together when the time comes."

"Xiao Ye thinks too highly of your sister Zhou. Let Xiao Ye go first." Zhou Tingyu quickly shook her head. It was obvious that she had no confidence in herself at all.

"Junior Sister Zhou, don't underestimate yourself. You can't let Xiao Ye outdo you." Kong Ju said to Zhou Tingyu with a teasing look, totally unaware that Zhou Tingyu's hand holding the Shenglundan jade bottle trembled slightly because of his words.

But Zhou Tingyu quickly took a deep breath, forced a smile, and replied, "Okay."

Until Kong Ju's figure disappeared in the direction of the inner door, the smile on Zhou Tingyu's face slowly disappeared, and she was filled with melancholy.

Mu Xiaoye tilted his head curiously, noticed the expression on Zhou Tingyu's face, and asked, "Sister Zhou is unhappy?"

"No!" Zhou Tingyu tightened the jade bottle in her hand, and her voice became weak.

She has practiced very hard over the years, but she still feels that the distance between her and Kong Ju and Shangguan Yuzhou is getting farther and farther.

Lian Mu Xiaoye came from behind and defeated Fang Jianxing to become the number one in the outer sect.

She could have accepted all of this calmly.

Until I saw Feng An's death.

Zhou Tingyu's heart seemed to be covered with a layer of haze.

"On this long journey, those who can reach the top are people like Brother Kong. I am just an ordinary person who stopped halfway."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Zhou Tingyu felt that the Shenglun Pill in her hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

…

The inner door is still the same inner door.

However, after Kong Jue returned from Tianqi, his strength skyrocketed.

The original senior sisters and brothers from the inner sect were all respectful when they saw Kong Ju.

It was obvious that Kong Ju was the youngest among the inner disciples except for Huangfu Wuqin. When they met some inner disciples on the road, they even took the initiative to greet them.

This made Kong Jue feel a little uncomfortable.

That's all.

Even the elders from the five inner sect peaks spoke softly to Kong Ju when they met him.

Come to think of it, Kong Ju’s current state is the soul transformation.

For example, as Dongxian said, the realms of Kong Ju, Huangfu Wuqin and Shangguan Yuzhou surpassed those of most of the hall masters and elders in the inner sect.

The world of cultivation respects the strong.

Kong Ju is the first disciple of the master.

With such cultivation and status, he would be a big shot in Wudong, not to mention in the Cangwu Sect.

“No wonder Uncle Dongxian and Master don’t get close to other people.” Kong Ju sighed.

It's not that they have to put on a superior attitude.

But when you reach a certain level, you have gradually become incompatible with the people around you.

Everything happened naturally, not what they wanted.

This is not what Kong Jue wants.

Fortunately, he was someone who was close to Kong Ju before, and his attitude remained the same.

For example, Huangfu Wuqin, Shangguan Yuzhou, Shi Jinchi, as well as Zhou Shangxiang and Elder Lu Pingchang of the Alchemy Pavilion.

Otherwise, Kong Ju would really feel like a lonely person.

As a result, Kong Ju no longer had the desire to walk around in the inner gate.

Within a few days after returning to Cangwu Sect, he went to Mu Xiaoye's cave and informed her about Dongxian's decision to accept him as a disciple. Then he went into seclusion and refused to come out.

Also worth mentioning is Zaifu Qiaoqiao, who returned to Cangwu Sect with Kong Ju.

There is no irreconcilable grudge between Wudong and Gujiang.

Therefore, Zaifu Qiaoqiao's arrival did not cause any rejection from the sect.

Moreover, Kong Ju also had a considerable say in the sect.

Thanks to his efforts, Zaifu Qiaoqiao successfully became a guest official of the Cangwu School.

He was arranged to stay in a cave not far from Kong Ju.

Although he was called a guest official, Zaifu Qiaoqiao actually did not obey the orders of the sect at all and followed the orders of Kong Ju.

Shi Jinchi, who was in charge of the sect's affairs, could only turn a blind eye. (End of this chapter)
