"Is this a farewell?"
Perhaps it was because he had successfully resolved the matter in Xitian City. Or perhaps it was because he was about to return to Wuming Peak and saw his group of interesting brothers and sisters, but Xiang Sheng was in a very good mood at the moment.
She looked at Wang Chuxiao's serious expression and suddenly felt like teasing him.
"Master Wang, when did I ever say I would escort you? You and I are just on the same journey."
"ah?"
Wang Chuxiao was stunned when he heard this, and then his face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He suppressed his embarrassment and laughed dryly, "So it was the younger generation who misunderstood, haha..."
After laughing, Wang Chuxiao's sword flashed under his feet, and he immediately lowered his head to speed up, wishing he could disappear in front of Xiang Sheng in an instant.
Xiang Sheng couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips when he saw this, and followed slowly behind.
A quarter of an hour later, Wang Chuxiao sensed the breath behind him dissipating, and the heat on his face immediately faded away.
"Finally, we're on different paths..."
He breathed a sigh of relief and looked back out of habit.
This time, he saw Xiang Sheng still following behind him, silently, like a ghost.
Wang Chuxiao was so frightened that his body trembled, his true energy stagnated, and he almost fell from mid-air.
After finally stabilizing himself, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, “Senior Shen, why are you still here?!”
"Why can't I be here?"
Xiang Sheng raised an eyebrow, "Are the Myriad Veins Sword Sect the only people living around here?"
"Of course not."
Wang Chuxiao waved his hands repeatedly, "It was the junior who spoke too much."
He said this, but he was surprised in his heart.
Senior Shen’s residence was actually near the Wanmai Sword Sect.
Could it be that he did this on purpose because he was worried about that little girl Shen Xiang?
He thought he had guessed the truth and was secretly happy.
It seems that Senior Shen cares very much about that little girl. If we use this as an excuse to recruit Senior into the sect, it might be much easier.
But he can't do this because his status is not high enough.
After he reports this to his superiors, the Sword Sect can demonstrate its sincerity by having the Palace Master or Sect Master personally invite them.
Thinking of this, Wang Chuxiao couldn't help but ask: "I wonder where Senior Shen lives in seclusion? Is it convenient for me to visit him?"
When Xiang Sheng heard this, he knew he was trying to recruit her again, and couldn't help but chuckle: "You'll know when the time comes."
Wang Chuxiao frowned slightly.
Senior Shen is unwilling to reveal his residence, which makes things difficult.
Next, he tried to strike up a small conversation and kept asking indirect questions, but Xiang Sheng's answers were always ambiguous.
Before I knew it, half a day had passed.
Wang Chuxiao was still sighing about not being able to find out where he lived when he suddenly heard Xiang Sheng say, "We're here."
What's arrived?
He was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw a very familiar mountain gate standing not far away.
It turns out that he has returned to his clan.
He suddenly realized something, and then his expression froze, and he turned abruptly to look at the woman who was still beside him.
He had already reached the mountain gate, and Senior Shen was still going the same way with him? !
Before he could sort out his thoughts, two auras, one green and one yellow, suddenly rose from the mountain gate. In the blink of an eye, they crossed the cliff, landed in front of the mountain gate, and turned into two human figures.
Wang Chuxiao saw who was coming and was immediately overjoyed: "Uncle Xuan, Senior Sister Feng!"
He was deeply moved and immediately put aside his doubts and floated forward to meet him.
"Please trouble the two elders to come and greet us personally..."
Before he could even utter the word "I", he saw Xuan and Feng pass by him and fly towards Senior Shen without even giving him a glance.
Wang Chuxiao was stunned, "Uncle Feng, you guys..."
Feng Yingxiu turned around upon hearing the voice and glared at him, "You are so reckless! If your senior sister hadn't intervened, you wouldn't be alive. I'll settle the score with you later!"
"What? Senior Sister saved me?"
Wang Chuxiao was completely stunned: "When did I get another senior sister?"
"Blockhead!"
Feng Yingxiu saw that he looked dumbfounded and tugged at his sleeve in disdain, "Come here and meet your Senior Sister Li."
Wang Chuxiao staggered and when he looked up, he saw Xiang Sheng looking at him with a half-smile.
Seeing this, the Xuan Palace Master chuckled and said at the right time: "Chu Xiao, Chen Xiang is the new sword master of our sect, known as Li, you can't neglect him."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Chuxiao felt as if struck by lightning. His whole body stiffened and his face turned red.
Senior Shen had actually joined the Sword Sect a long time ago, and was even the new Sword Master!
He had been so diligent in recruiting people along the way, and his intentions must have been seen through long ago. However, the senior didn't say a word and just watched him laugh in silence.
That’s too much!
He lowered his head, his gaze constantly wandering across the ground. For the first time, he hated the fact that the mountain gate was so well-repaired.
Is there really not a single crack on the ground?
wrong!
Wang Chuxiao suddenly raised his head again and looked at Xiang Sheng in shock.
Uncle Xuan said that the senior’s name is Chen Xiang?
Wasn’t Chen Xiang the little girl who joined Wuming by accident forty years ago?
Was this not a misunderstanding? Was she also the spirit of a fallen genius from the Sword Sect?
Feng Yingxiu and Wang Chuxiao were born to the same master. Seeing his junior brother being so jumpy and useless, he felt disgusted and couldn't bear to look at him.
She simply turned her head away, her gaze falling on Xiang Sheng, and her expression immediately softened:
"This is not the place to talk. Let's talk when we get back."
Xiang Sheng readily agreed.
A moment later, Xiang Sheng, Xuan and Feng sat down in the inner gate meeting hall.
Wang Chuxiao was impatient to return to Wanjianmai Peak to see his disciples.
"Junior Sister Shen Xiang, I was short-sighted and underestimated you before."
Feng Yingxiu spoke first and apologized solemnly.
"Junior Brother Wang was able to return safely, thanks to you for putting aside past grudges and helping him with all your might. I, Feng Yingxiu, am eternally grateful!"
After saying that, Feng Yingxiu took a deep breath, stood up and bowed deeply towards Sheng.
Xiang Sheng accepted it calmly: "The friendship between Senior Sister Feng and Junior Brother is truly enviable."
She didn't think there was anything wrong with Feng Yingxiu's previous attitude.
In the world of cultivation, strength is respected. In Feng Yingxiu's eyes, her previous cultivation level was indeed not enough to make her a Sword Master. Moreover, if she was not careful, it would bring shame to the Wanmai Sword Sect.
Feng Yingxiu cared about the sect, so it was understandable that she had such a reaction. She didn't care.
She saved Wang Chuxiao not because of Feng Yingxiu, but for the sake of the people from Wuming Peak.
Although she and Feng Yingxiu now call each other sisters, it is more of a courtesy between fellow disciples.
To be honest, her relationship with Feng Yingxiu is not much better than that of a stranger.
Feng Yingxiu's bow expressed both gratitude and apology.
Only if she accepts it calmly can the matter be resolved.
Feng Yingxiu indeed had this in mind. If the other party avoided the bow, she would even plan to speak openly.
But now it seems that it is no longer necessary.
The new sword master appointed by the eldest senior brother himself not only has unfathomable skills in cultivation, but also has a top-notch intelligence.
I don’t know where the eldest brother found such a powerful person.
His evilness is almost as bad as that of the eldest senior brother himself.
