The back mountain.
Nestled among small mountain peaks.
A cool and aloof woman stood on a cliff, her hands behind her back, her gaze calmly looking ahead, as if she could see the blue light slowly approaching.
Her expression was inscrutable, her eyes shifting and changing, as if the world were reflected in them.
Wang Qiuhe had a pair of very beautiful eyes, bright and clear as if they contained stars. As she pondered, her eyes sparkled like countless stars, rippling gently, easily drawing people in and leaving them captivated and mesmerized by her gaze.
"Is he unaware of his own talent, or does he have ulterior motives?"
"But if one possesses talent, how could one not be aware of it?"
Originally, Wang Qiuhe didn't care about Lin Xiuyuan at all.
It was only because of Zhou's younger sister that she happened to be out of the mountain gate on business, so she took the opportunity to lead Lin Xiuyuan into the sect, treating him as just an ordinary junior brother with some connection.
But later, they suddenly learned that the two were related by marriage.
This immediately made her feel extremely disgusted with Lin Xiuyuan.
They believe that Lin Xiuyuan's entry into the Cloud Soaring Sect through his connection with the Zhou family was solely for this purpose—to climb the social ladder!
She had personally guided him into the door, but suddenly realized that the other party had ulterior motives. Wang Qiuhe felt as if she had been played, and her disgust for Lin Xiuyuan reached its peak!
However, Lin Xiuyuan's talent in talismanic arts, as displayed at the Lingxiao Dojo, slightly changed her opinion of him, but it still couldn't change much.
But later, news of Lin Xiuyuan's progress in the Trial Tower spread like wildfire across the entire main peak, causing an uproar among countless disciples.
She had only been a newcomer for a few years when she broke through to the third level of the Trial Tower. Of course, she knew just how monstrous her talent was.
Wang Qiuhe is already among the disciples of Lingxiao in the present day, and is one of the most monstrous talents in the art of talismanic arts.
Lin Xiuyuan's progress surpassed that of the others during their newcomer period by a significant margin.
This surprised and astonished Wang Qiuhe.
Not to mention Lin Xiuyuan's performance in the competition.
With such cultivation and such aptitude, his future is limitless; he has the potential to reach the Golden Core stage!
This made her doubts waver, wondering if she had misunderstood something.
For a moment, Wang Qiuhe stood on the cliff, gazing intently at the blue light slowly approaching amidst the shimmering lights beyond the clouds.
...
…………
Following the guidance of the jade crystal, Lin Xiuyuan passed through numerous arrays and arrived at the back mountain, approaching a small peak.
Just as the light of his escape descended, Lin Xiuyuan saw the aloof and cold woman staring at him from ahead.
A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Xiuyuan's face. He bowed and asked curiously, "Greetings, Senior Sister Wang. What a coincidence! May I ask what brings you here?"
Lin Xiuyuan originally thought that Wang Qiuhe had come to give him a warning, to tell him to put away some of his ulterior motives or something like that.
However, what Wang Qiuhe said next shocked Lin Xiuyuan.
"Why am I here? Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know? This cave dwelling is the residence of Elder Wang Yangshan, who is also my great-grandfather!"
"What!"
Upon hearing these words, Lin Xiuyuan was stunned and his mind was shaken.
In an instant, a series of thoughts flashed through his mind, and a look of realization appeared in his eyes.
However, before Lin Xiuyuan could ponder this further, Wang Qiuhe continued:
"Waiting for you here, I'll say it again: despite the cultivation and talent you've displayed, even I am somewhat amazed, but..."
"Please put away your unnecessary petty thoughts. Don't think that just because you have your great-grandfather's protection, you can act recklessly. Before you anger me, recognize your place. You are my junior brother of the Lingxiao lineage, and also a junior brother of the same master, but that's all. Understand?"
Wang Qiuhe spoke calmly and indifferently.
There were no threatening words, just a solemn warning.
His calm tone revealed a resolute determination, leaving no room for negotiation!
This is like an honest person warning you, setting a bottom line. If you heed it, nothing will happen, and everything will be peaceful. But if you continue to offend and cross that line, unpredictable consequences will ensue—very serious consequences…
Lin Xiuyuan listened to this, and that was what he hoped for most. He was single-mindedly seeking the Dao and the path to immortality, nothing more!
Taking advantage of this opportune moment, Lin Xiuyuan nodded and quickly cupped his hands, saying that he wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate any misunderstandings. Since they would be under the same master in the future, they should not harbor any resentment and should support each other.
"Senior Sister Wang, there must be some misunderstanding... Actually, while I did come to the Yunmeng Mountains with the intention of joining a faction to cultivate, my main purpose was to return to the Zhou Clan and bring back my parents..."
"Because the Nine Kingdoms Alliance is engaged in a major war, it's not conducive to peaceful cultivation..."
"It seems this was arranged by the Zhou family. I was completely unaware of it. When I first entered the sect under the guidance of Senior Sister Wang, I never imagined that there would be this kind of relationship between us."
"It was only after Senior Sister Wang suddenly came to my door and said those words that I realized something. I asked my cousin Zhou Qingxue and learned the truth..."
"Senior Sister Wang, there's no need to worry. I, your junior brother, am also single-mindedly pursuing the path of immortality. For now, I'm focused solely on advancing to higher realms!"
Lin Xiuyuan slowly explained why he came to the Great Yue Kingdom, why he came to the Zhou Clan, and why he inexplicably entered the Cloud Soaring Sect. He revealed his general guesses and what he estimated to be an arrangement by the Zhou Clan.
