late at night.

Zhongshan Peak, the master's bedroom.

In the study, two graceful women sat opposite each other.

In terms of figure alone, the master and disciple Song Hongyan and Li Qingyue each have their own merits.

But in terms of temperament, Li Qingyue is still a little immature and much inferior to Song Hongyan.

"Master summoned me late at night, why?"

Li Qingyue asked, and picked up the teapot to pour a cup of tea for her master.

"We will be heading to the Northern Wasteland tomorrow. This time will be different from the past. You must be extremely careful and look after Li Zhiming and the others."

"Li Zhiming?"

"Master, we are rivals now." Li Qingyue replied.

"But this does not affect your cooperation in the Northern Wasteland."

"This ruins is extremely dangerous. It has gathered elite talents from nearly half of the sects in the East Xuan Territory. There are also demons eyeing it covetously, and there are also people from the Taichu Holy Land who came from thousands of miles away!"

"You can't be alone like usual." Song Hongyan said calmly.

"Master, is it really that dangerous?"

"The secret space where the ruins are located has its own rules. A first-rank expert cannot enter. This means that a large number of second-rank experts will pour in. With your current realm, if you act alone, it will be tantamount to seeking your own death!"

Song Hongyan looked into Li Qingyue's eyes and her tone became a little more serious.

"Cooperating with Li Zhiming, eh? Disciple understands!"

Li Qingyue bit her lip, and although she was extremely reluctant, she still nodded and agreed.

"I know you feel uncomfortable, but you and Li Zhiming can't always be rivals. When you take over Zhenyuan Sect and become the leader of a sect, you will have to rely on Li Zhiming a lot."

Song Hongyan spoke slowly and in a soft voice.

"Since Master is sure that I will take over the sect in the future, why did you confer the title of Qilin Son on Li Zhiming?"

"Now Li Zhiming's cultivation has surpassed mine. Everyone in the sect is saying that I will lose to Li Zhiming in the battle for the position of sect leader in the future."

Li Qingyue lowered her head, biting her red lips with her pearly teeth, not understanding what her master meant.

"I have my reasons for doing this. You are still young. When you are older and sit in my position, you will understand."

"No matter what, you will be the next sect leader. Li Zhiming will not compete with you for the position." Song Hongyan said with certainty.

"Why?" Li Qingyue was puzzled.

"Li Zhiming is a ferocious beast, and the Zhenyuan Sect cannot restrain him."

"He agreed to become Qilin Son, but he was embarrassed to refuse to be his disciple." Song Hongyan stood up and said lightly.

"Beast..."

"Master, do you also think that Li Zhiming will be better than your disciple in the future?" Li Qingyue asked in a low voice, lacking confidence.

"Qingyue, what do you think of my talent?"

"Master, your talent is astounding and rare in the world. You are a prodigy that our sect hasn't seen in a thousand years. You have always been my role model!" Li Qingyue replied sincerely.

"This is only in Zhenyuan Sect. There are always people who are better than you."

"There are many people who are more talented and capable than me."

"Among the three people who came from the Taichu Holy Land, there is a young man who is about the same age as you, but he is already at the second level. What do you think of such a talent?" Song Hongyan asked.

"You are about the same age as me, but you are already at the second level?"

"this……?"

Li Qingyue's face changed drastically and she was shocked.

She knows that there is always someone better than you.

But the only one who is stronger than me is someone like Li Zhiming. How much stronger can he be?

But I never thought that among the people who came from the Taichu Holy Land, there would be such a monster!

"Is the Taichu Holy Land really that powerful?"

"Of course, but if your master tells you that this is not the limit of the Taichu Holy Land, what do you think?" Song Hongyan asked again.

“…”

Li Qingyue clenched his fists and fell silent.

She didn't dare to think about it.

Twenty years old, a second-grade expert, was already shocking enough, but there was actually someone more perverted than this? !

"I have said so much just to tell you one truth."

“Don’t get sad about these little things. You still have a long way to go. Just do your best to be yourself. Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Only when you have a clear conscience can you be fearless.”

“Remember, cultivation is also about cultivating the mind.”

Song Hongyan looked out the window and the door slowly opened.

"Master's teachings, disciples keep them in mind."

Song Hongyan's words were like a wake-up call, which instantly made Li Qingyue sober up.

The resentment that had accumulated in my heart also dissipated.

"Well, go back and rest."

Song Hongyan nodded.

After Li Qingyue left, Song Hongyan disappeared in the room.

When she appeared again, she was already at the top of Zhongshan Peak.

The moon is high in the sky and the wind is cold.

Song Hongyan stood on the top of the peaks, looking towards the north, her long hair and skirt fluttering in the wind.

"Who will come to the Holy Land of Taichu?"

Song Hongyan murmured in a low voice with a solemn expression. She always had a bad feeling.

…

Li Zhiming stood on the back of the iron-winged eagle and looked towards the north.

The mountains are barren and desolate.

That is the northern area of ​​the Dongxuan Territory. Because it is remote and dangerous, and is the habitat of monsters, it is seldom visited by people, so it is called the Northern Wilderness.

"We are about to enter the depths of the Northern Wilderness. This is the territory of the demon race. Everyone, cheer up!"

Uncle Lin who was standing in front reminded.

He is a sword cultivator who has reached the perfection of the second level and has almost stepped halfway into the first level.

Next to Lin Wu was a beautiful woman wearing a green Taoist robe and with a graceful figure. Her name was Jiang Yun, and she was also at the second level of perfection.

The two of them joined the Zhenyuan Sect at a young age, practiced at Qingluan Peak, advanced and retreated together, and became direct disciples at the same time.

Many years later, they both entered the third level at the same time.

Later, the two of them stayed at Qingluan Peak and became the deacons and elders of Qingluan Peak, or uncle masters as the disciples called them.

Not long after the two became deacons and elders, they became Taoist couples under the witness of the peak master.

Childhood sweethearts, talented man and beautiful woman, the envy of others.

They are a famous loving couple in Qingluan Peak.

It is said that Uncle Jiang gave birth to a child half a year ago, a daughter named Lin Xia.

"The destination of this trip is deep in the Northern Wilderness. There are many super monsters lurking there. It is extremely dangerous."

"However, we formed an alliance with the Wanjian Sect and other forces, built a base fifty miles away from the ruins, and reached a short-term cooperation with the demon tribe in the Northern Wasteland."

"Both sides will not fight each other while the ruins are in the world. Both sides can send their young men into the ruins to search for treasures."

"As for who can find the rare treasure, it all depends on the strength and luck of the disciples under my command."

Jiang Yun continued speaking in a soft and pleasant voice.

"But even so, we can't let our guard down. We need to be alert to our surroundings, especially the demon tribe."

Jiang Yun said again.

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

Li Zhiming narrowed his eyes. No wonder the monsters they encountered before did not attack them, but just roared at them twice and then retreated. It turned out that they had temporarily reached a cooperation with the monster tribe in the Northern Wilderness.

It really is true that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
