Lin Xiuyuan returned to his inner sect cave dwelling to await the elder's summons.
Because I will soon be going out to guard the area, and afterwards there will be the Great Yue Sword Tournament, etc.
Therefore, even after being promoted to a core disciple, Lin Xiuyuan did not change his cave dwelling to avoid trouble, and it was not advisable to change the layout of his own cave dwelling too quickly.
Then they would wait for the Great Yue Sword Tournament, and if they could win the chief position, they would achieve their goal in one step.
vice versa……
"Senior Brother Lin! It's been so long! Waaah, you don't even care about your little cousin!"
Upon learning of Lin Xiuyuan's return, Zhou Qingxue immediately rushed over from Wang Qiuhe's cave. After all, Wang Qiuyu had been living there since Lin Xiuyuan left, so she moved there to keep him company.
She said in a pitiful voice, "You've been back in the sect for so long, and you haven't even come to see me once. You've left your cute little cousin here for so long! Aren't you afraid something might happen to your little cousin? You know, I don't dare go anywhere here. Everyone here is a prodigy of the inner sect, and I'm afraid of offending someone."
Lin Xiuyuan glanced at her indifferently. Zhou Qingxue's cultivation had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, but her aura was weak, as if she had just broken through not long ago. However, her progress was not slow, and she was expected to break through to the Purple Mansion stage around the age of one hundred.
As for the things she said... I believe that one of them is probably just someone whose brain hasn't fully developed yet!
They could either stay in his cave dwelling or go to Wang Qiuhe's superior cave dwelling to cultivate. With their influence, among all the disciples of the Cloud Soaring Sect, unless Han Chenhua was still alive, who would dare to target Zhou Qingxue? Besides, the other party had no intention of targeting a young girl!
And presumably due to his influence, Zhou Qingxue probably enjoyed the full support of the Zhou family, otherwise her cultivation would not have progressed so quickly.
"Get to the point!"
Lin Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled.
"No, I just came to see how Cousin Xiuyuan is doing lately. Although Cousin Xiuyuan is very busy and doesn't have time to pay attention to his little cousin, I still miss him very much!"
Zhou Qingxue pursed her lips, glanced at Lin Xiuyuan, and her eyes, besides being mischievous, also showed a hint of disbelief.
I never expected that Lin Xiuyuan would undergo such a big change just by entering a secret realm.
Although it was already known before that Lin Xiuyuan was not to be judged by appearances and was a prodigy.
Before entering the secret realm, he was already a recognized genius of the Lingxiao Heaven.
However, that's far from all...
He was actually a peerless genius capable of reaching the invincible level.
There are only a tiny group of people in the entire Southern Prefecture!
Not to mention, if Lin Xiuyuan hadn't turned the tide in this secret realm, the Cloud Soaring Sect would have lost a considerable amount of profit.
She heard a message from her grandfather saying that many high-ranking members of the Cloud Soaring Sect are now praising Lin Xiuyuan, and that he has probably caught the eye of that Supreme Elder.
Tell her not to go back unless necessary, and to stay by Lin Xiuyuan's side. She can ride the wind! The family will prepare all the necessary spiritual items for her cultivation; she can just stay and cultivate in peace...
Although I already knew that Lin Xiuyuan was a prodigy, I never expected him to be this prodigy!
In recent years, I have often heard rumors and gossip within the sect, which has made Lin Xiuyuan seem like a legendary figure, at an untouchable level.
Thinking back to the first time I met Lin Xiuyuan, he looked like a rogue cultivator who couldn't make a living outside, and his aura was weak and listless... However, now!
It's like a dream, truly!
Although the words sounded nice, Lin Xiuyuan naturally knew what his little cousin was thinking.
Sure enough, Zhou Qingxue's words followed, coming out like a barrage of cannonballs:
“Cousin Xiuyuan, there have been many rumors about you in the sect before, almost like legendary stories recorded in the annals.”
"Everyone is saying that you reached the level of invincible combat power in the same realm by relying on spirit talismans. If you are so powerful, do you have other methods?"
"Is Wu Chengfeng really that powerful? Even with the chief of the Crimson Cloud Sect assisting him, he was still able to fight two opponents at once and still not be able to completely subdue them?"
"I've heard that the Ghost Spirit Sect is incredibly powerful. They managed to suppress the great formation in our secret realm's outpost and planned to break it by force. Are they really that powerful? How much more powerful are they than the Cloud Soaring Sect? I heard that the main force wasn't at the outpost at that time..."
"Also, Han Chenhua, that must have been the work of my cousin Xiu Yuan, right?"
Lin Xiuyuan shook his head, too lazy to say anything more. Besides, was the matter of Han Chenhua something that could be discussed openly?
Lin Xiuyuan directly answered, "Next, I'll be going out to guard the enclave. I don't know the specifics, but I'll most likely stay for a full sixty years before returning to participate in the Great Yue Sword Tournament. So, you can continue using the cave dwelling token I gave you. As for resources, will your family provide you with enough?"
Seeing that Lin Xiuyuan avoided answering, Zhou Qingxue, though secretly curious, still obediently nodded in response:
"Understood. Well, the family will send some resources over from time to time. Next, according to the family's arrangements, I'll probably join the Cloud Soaring Sect, and I'll most likely enter the Spirit Vein or Cloud Vein. Hey, then I'll be your little cousin and junior sister!"
"Join the Cloud Soaring Sect?" Lin Xiuyuan was slightly taken aback, but did not ask any further questions.
For someone of Zhou Qingxue's direct lineage, entering the Cloud Soaring Sect is a good choice. However, as a member of the family head's lineage, she has the potential to become one of the bloodline descendants who will lead the Zhou family in the future.
Now that there's an indication that Zhou Qingxue is being arranged to enter the Cloud Soaring Sect directly, it seems that the Zhou family's situation is reaching its final moment, and it's not looking good!
The situation involved is complex, and Lin Xiuyuan could not see it clearly at the moment.
I originally thought that once Han Chenhua was defeated, the momentum would shift.
But looking at it now, it seems like I was just making assumptions.
Most likely, the deterrent power brought by the Han family's numerous Golden Core cultivators is too strong.
However, Lin Xiuyuan didn't have time to think about it deeply. Since they had made an agreement, and he was being targeted by the Han family patriarch, he naturally wouldn't be the one to stick his neck out again.
As long as Zhou Qingxue is within the Yunxiao Sect, given his status and position, protecting him, even in front of the Han family, shouldn't be a problem.
After not seeing each other for a long time, the two chatted for a while before Lin Xiuyuan sent him away.
He returned to his cave and sat quietly, awaiting a summons from the Elders' Council.
Sure enough, a few days later, the communication jade slip at Lin Xiuyuan's waist began to vibrate.
He picked it up and took a look. His eyes immediately lit up, and he promptly left the cave and headed straight for the main peak!
