Let’s put aside the doubts of the Xuanjian Clan for now.
However, Li Changting led the core disciples of Yuan Jianmai to leave the main peak. Just as they reached the outside of the no-fly zone, a woman in palace dress suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked their way.
Li Changting recognized the woman's identity at a glance, and gave Jian Jue a look that said "Here you are!", then he immediately stepped forward and asked with a smile:
"Mrs. Geng Qi, long time no see. I wonder what's going on today?"
Geng Qi knew that he was asking knowingly, so he rolled his eyes secretly. Then he looked at Xiang Jianjue tenderly and said, "My master invites the young master to the front of the hall for a chat."
When Xiang Jianjue saw Geng Qi, he vaguely guessed her purpose, but when he actually heard the invitation, he still felt a sense of relief in his heart.
His eyes suddenly brightened a little, but he still didn't forget to ask Li Changting.
Li Changting laughed dumbly, "Go ahead."
It is only natural for a disciple to meet his master, so why is this kid asking for his instructions?
Xiang Jianjue couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. He nodded heavily and quickly followed Geng Qi into the air.
Li Changting watched the two fly away, then glanced back, taking in the reactions of the disciples in his group, his eyes slightly indifferent.
The silly boy was noticed by the new sword master, and his story spread among the Yuan Sword Clan as early as forty years ago.
But at that time, the identity of the Sword Master of Lidian was unknown, and most of the disciples in the sect were just envious.
Now the rumor that "the new sword master is the ancient god Taiyin" is spreading like wildfire, and people are saying all kinds of things.
If that silly boy approaches his master openly at the Sword Master Ceremony, he will probably be stabbed in the back and scolded on the spot.
Therefore, it was within his expectation that the man from Dongzhou did not summon Xiang Jianjue to the Sword Master Ceremony.
Moreover, today's Sword Master Ceremony was filled with weirdness everywhere.
He had stayed in Dongzhou for quite some time, and based on his understanding of that person, there must be something fishy going on.
I'm afraid that the current situation outside has become so chaotic, and that person has been fanning the flames behind the scenes.
Even the rumors about the silly boy were probably written by that person, just to make the relationship between the two of them as master and disciple clear so that they wouldn't have to be so cautious when they meet in the future.
But with all these dirty water poured on him, the silly boy's reputation in the future will probably be as bad as when he first entered the sect. I wonder if that person has any backup plan.
Thinking of this, Li Changting remembered his master Fang Qingcang's sudden anger at the table, and couldn't help but feel a headache.
The master didn't know the identity of that person. He was old and easily influenced by others. He must have been misled by the rumors.
But without that person's hint, he didn't dare tell his master too much. He could only hope that his master would find out and punish him with two days less of confinement.
…
After Xiang Sheng released the snake and insect text restriction and came out of seclusion this morning, he had been feeling that he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember what it was exactly.
It was not until she sat on the throne of the Sword Master Ceremony and sensed an unignorable resentful gaze coming from the audience seats of the Yuan Sword Vessel below that she remembered.
She forgot to summon her disciple Xiang Jianjue!
So he quickly asked Geng Qi to go and invite him, while he returned to the Sword Master's Hall to take off his ceremonial uniform and put on a black casual suit.
Soon, two sounds of breaking through the air were heard outside the hall.
Xiang Jianjue flew very fast, but his mind was in a mess, with one thought after another popping up in his mind.
He returned to the sect two months ago, and after meeting Fang Qingcang, he immediately came here to meet his master, but was turned away.
Geng Qi said at the time that Master was in seclusion again.
He naturally didn't want to disturb him any further, so he returned to Yuan Jianmai and waited patiently, thinking that his master would have to come out of seclusion before the Sword Master Ceremony began, and would definitely summon him then.
He had no intention of practicing, and just waited day after day, but he never received a summons from his master.
Then, the Sword Master Ceremony began.
At that time, he was looking at the figure sitting on the throne on the high platform, and he felt that the distance between him and his master was extremely far.
He wondered if his master... didn't like him anymore?
It is said that the emotions between all living things need to be maintained.
The last time his master summoned him to meet him, he actually thought that Palace Master Feng was playing a trick on him, so he left in anger and missed the opportunity for master and disciple to reminisce about the past.
This missed opportunity lasted for forty years. Adding the twenty years since leaving Dongzhou, it became sixty years.
Sixty years is just a blink of an eye for ordinary cultivators, but for him and his master, it is a very long time.
He is too stupid. It is his own fault that Master doesn't like him.
"Young Master, we're here. The master has already given instructions. Please go in directly."
Geng Qi's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Xiang Jianjue woke up with a start. He looked up and saw the familiar door lintel, and a hint of resistance appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, he was actually a little afraid to see his master.
However, although he thought so, his body did not obey him and he stepped over the threshold involuntarily, and his vision suddenly darkened.
Xiang Jianjue became visibly panicked, completely different from the calm and decisive person he was during his previous training outside.
He was just wondering what to do when he suddenly saw a blur in front of his eyes and a familiar cold face appeared in his sight.
"Why are you standing there?"
Xiang Sheng's eyes were filled with smiles, and his tone was unusually gentle: "Come in and talk to me."
Xiang Jianjue pursed his lips, hummed lightly, and followed him into the hall.
Seeing his reaction, Xiang Sheng felt guilty and softened his tone, "After returning to the sect, I went into seclusion again and only came out this morning."
As soon as these words came out, Xiang Jianjue immediately raised his head, and the grievance in his eyes had dissipated by seven points, "Really?"
Xiang Sheng laughed dumbly: "Master will never lie to you.
Rumors are spreading everywhere. I know you must be upset. I wanted to explain everything to you before the ceremony, but I was lost in thought... Master, I apologize to you."
When Xiang Jianjue heard his master's explanation, he felt that the emptiness in his heart was suddenly filled.
Without a word, he knelt down and said, "No matter how many rumors there are in the outside world, it is not Master's fault, and I don't care.
Master is the best master in the world, it is the disciple who is wrong!
Disciple... Disciple shouldn't have misunderstood Master forty years ago. Disciple feels guilty and thought Master didn't like him anymore."
Xiang Sheng was stunned.
She didn't expect that the misunderstanding forty years ago would make Xiang Jianjue feel so upset.
This silly boy must have had a lot of crazy thoughts in the past forty years, right?
It was also because she had too many things to do as a master and paid too little attention to Xiang Jianjue.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng suddenly understood his master Qingtian's hesitation in the illusion.
She had clearly obtained the "Qi Tian" and had gained a great benefit. However, Master Qingtian was hesitant, fearing that it would bring danger to himself.
Such a kind master ended up like that...
Xiang Sheng felt a little bitter in her heart for a moment. Looking at Xiang Jianjue who was still kneeling obediently in front of her, she smiled and said softly:
"How's your practice of the Void Sword Manual? Let me take a look."
Xiang Jianjue was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw his master's gentle but apologetic gaze, and his eyes became hot.
"Master, please teach me!"
