Xiang Jianjue has been practicing for more than forty years and has already mastered the Singularity Sword Intent and has reached the 100% level of comprehension.
This level is quite rare among the veteran disciples.
But in front of Master, it is still not good enough.
Xiang Jianjue didn't even understand why he was defeated. He just felt that the extremely sharp Singularity Sword Intent became a little lamb in front of his master and could not hurt anyone at all.
So he did his best.
After a thrilling fight, Xiang Jianjue sat down panting and threw his flying sword aside.
"I won't fight you anymore, Master. I'm exhausted."
His tone was a little cheeky, and he looked up at his master with his eyes full of admiration, without any of the grievance he had before.
Master is truly amazing! Even without the Earth Spirit's pure energy, he still crushed him.
Xiang Sheng smiled and shook his head. With a wave of his sleeves, the flying sword that fell on the ground immediately flew into Xiang Jianjue's arms.
"You are a sword cultivator, and your sword should be your most important. How can you just throw your flying sword aside?"
Xiang Jianjue held the sword and admitted his mistake, saying, "Disciple knows I was wrong."
He has been practicing Taoism for many years, so he naturally knows this truth, but he was too happy today and got a little carried away.
Xiang Sheng knew that his apprentice had grown up, so he just mentioned it casually and let it go.
She lifted her sleeves, sat down next to Xiang Jianjue, and said, "Disciple, what you said before was not right."
Xiang Jianjue was stunned: "What?"
Xiang Sheng curled his lips slightly, "There are so many rumors spreading outside, it's really my fault."
Xiang Jianjue's expression turned strange. "Those rumors that my disciple betrayed me and defected to the Taiyin Sect? Were you the one who spread them?"
Xiang Sheng raised her eyebrows slightly: "My disciple is really smart, he actually guessed it?"
Xiang Jianjue blushed slightly at the praise and whispered, “I just feel weird.
The relationship between you and me, Master, is only known by the disciples of Yuanjian Clan.
There are not many disciples in the Yuanjian Sect, and among those who can go down the mountain, none of them have the habit of gossiping.
And the rumor spread so quickly, it seemed deliberate.”
"It doesn't matter if it's deliberate. Your master and I are not the only ones who are secretly scheming here and there."
Xiang Sheng smiled and then asked, "Since I can guess this, why don't you guess again? Why did I do this?"
Xiang Jianjue finally resolved the knot in his heart, his thoughts became clear, and he thought of the answer after a moment, and his cheeks turned even redder.
"Master, you want me to have a clear path to pass through. There's no need to be so secretive."
"My disciple is smart!"
Xiang Sheng smiled and praised him generously.
Xiang Jianjue was praised so many times that his face turned red as if blood was about to drip out. He felt as if he was in a dream today, and the whole thing felt a little unreal.
Fortunately, at this time, the master's voice came again and brought him back to reality.
"For the next period of time, there will be a lot of rumors within the sect, and most of them will be negative."
A cold gleam flashed in Xiang Sheng's eyes, "But this time won't be too long.
You should cultivate in the sect these days, and don't leave the mountain. There is something I want you to do in person."
Xiang Jianjue's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Disciple, obey your command!"
…
Xiang Jianjue ignored the gazes that were staring at him along the way and walked briskly back to Yuan Jianmai's residence. Before he even entered the door, he heard laughter coming from behind him.
"Hey, who is this? He came back from a trip with a big smile on his face, and he's even floating as he walks."
Li Changting walked over, shouting, "Is this still my normally expressionless Junior Brother Jian Jue? Junior Brother, if you've been possessed, just blink!"
Xiang Jianjue's face darkened, "Brother, are you here to laugh at me?"
"How can that be possible?"
Li Changting chuckled, a smile that seemed to be a bit gloating: "The pulse master wants to see you, are you going or not?"
Xiang Jianjue was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded: "Go!"
Master’s identity is sensitive and cannot be exposed.
He was not afraid of the meridian master's misunderstanding. As long as his master was there, he was not afraid of anything.
Li Changting looked at his expression and said, "I knew you were going to go back, but there's no need."
Xiang Jianjue frowned immediately: "Brother, what did you say?"
Li Changting rolled his eyes in annoyance, "How dare I say anything?
When the pulse master came back and heard that you went to see that person, he was furious. He was just about to ask me to go find you to question you when Madam Geng Qi arrived."
Needless to say, you know what happened next.
Li Changting said sourly, "Your master arranged so much for you right after he came back. He really treats you like a treasure."
Xiang Jianjue was touched in his heart, but he did not show it on the surface.
He raised his eyebrows, his eyes dangerous: "So you just came here to laugh at me?"
Li Changting's smile immediately faded. "Junior Brother, I suddenly remembered that I have something important to do. I'll be leaving now. No need to see me off."
After saying that, Li Changting turned around and ran away.
Xiang Jianjue watched him flee in panic, chuckled, and shook his head.
The leader of the pulse is old, and it is a foregone conclusion that the senior brother will take over.
It’s really hard to imagine what the Yuanjian Meridian will be like after my senior brother becomes the leader of the meridian.
…
After the Sword Master Ceremony, although rumors from the outside world continued to spread, the Wanmai Sword Sect seemed unaffected and everything was as normal.
Xiang Sheng did not return to Wuming Peak, but stayed in the Li Palace to study the snake and insect prohibitions.
But this time, she no longer devoted her whole mind and heart to it as before. In addition to her daily practice, she devoted 30% of her time to absorbing the memories in the fragments of "Deceiving the Heaven".
Geng Qi would come every two days and, as instructed by Xiang Sheng, report every detail of the recent events in the four branches under his jurisdiction.
Every time this happened, Xiang Jianjue would follow Geng Qi to see his master, and then leave satisfied.
Naturally, he couldn't hide the fact that he went to Lidian every few days from some people.
On the surface, no one in the sect dared to talk about Li Dian Sword Master's identity because of him, but the rumors behind the scenes were even more powerful.
As Xiang Jianjue walked on the road, he received more and more jealous or contemptuous glances from people.
He didn't care at all and continued to do as he pleased, which made some of his disciples even admire his thick skin.
After four months of quiet practice, the rumors not only did not disappear, but instead became more and more intense.
Feng Yingxiu was worried and came over to take a look.
Xuan Kui was also a little worried, but after making a fool of himself, he was too embarrassed to see Xiang Sheng, so he never showed up.
On this day, Geng Qi presented all matters concerning the four meridians according to the old rules, and Xiang Jianjue was not with him.
The truth is that Xiang Jianjue has been hanging around Li Temple too many times recently, and his cultivation has fallen behind a bit.
After scolding Xiang Sheng, he was punished to go into seclusion in the Ling Pagoda for a month to calm down his temper.
Geng Qi suddenly felt his ears were much quieter. However, counting the days, the young master would soon be out of seclusion.
As she was thinking this, she suddenly saw the master pause slightly in flipping the scroll.
Did the master get anything?
Before she could think clearly, she saw Xiang Sheng put down the scroll, stood up and said, "Come with me to change clothes and go out for a while." "Happy New Year, dear readers!"
