Bai Yao looked at Nangong Ling'er seriously, as if she had realized something: "What did Master do... After he came back, he passed on a cultivation technique to me called the Azure Lotus Sword Technique, and then today he came to clean the lotus platform."
After listening, the girl in green smiled and asked, "Did you learn both the mental cultivation method and the sword technique?"
"yes……"
"Senior Brother Xiao's nickname is the Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal, which comes from the green lotus that is born in his nascent soul. This green lotus can drive away ghosts and slay evil, and it can be considered a great divine artifact. Senior Brother is willing to pass it on to you, so he must not have passed it on to anyone else. At least, besides Senior Brother, only you know the mental cultivation method."
"Is this Azure Lotus Sword Technique very powerful?" Bai Yao asked, her eyes wide.
"It's more than just powerful; you can imagine the unique techniques of one of the five elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect."
"But... Master said he was afraid I would embarrass him at the upcoming conference..."
The girl in green comforted Bai Yao, "Sigh, silly girl, your master is just stubborn but soft-hearted. Alright, from now on, you can come here to cultivate every day under the pretense of cleaning!"
"Thank you, Junior Uncle!"
"Go back and thank your master. If it weren't for Senior Brother Xiao, no one would be allowed to cultivate on the Lotus Platform without the Sect Leader's permission!" With that, the girl in green waved her hand and left.
The little girl found it incredible, but at this moment, a strange feeling also arose in her young heart. Sitting on the lotus platform, Bai Yao murmured, "So... Master values me this much?"
...
Months later, Xiao Yuhan, who was almost bored to death in the Discipline Hall, was flipping through the ancient books of this world. To be honest, some of the records about ancient times really resembled certain fantasy novels. Take the founder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, for example, he was definitely a fantasy male protagonist. He had unparalleled talent from the start, encountered many strange things along the way, and beat up idiots all the way. In the end, he founded a sect and became a great master.
Just as Xiao Yuhan was engrossed in watching, the sect leader and several other elders pushed open the door and entered.
"Junior Brother Xiao, it's been almost half a year since you came out of seclusion. During this time, you've really been elusive, never showing your face or your tracks. You haven't even attended sect meetings! Are you blaming your elder brother for punishing you with ten years of solitary confinement?"
"Ah?" Xiao Yuhan quickly put on her clothes. "Junior brother didn't mean that, it's just that nothing much has been going on lately..."
The white-haired Taoist nun glanced at Xiao Yuhan and said, "Hmph! It's only because you think there aren't that many problems."
Xiao Yuhan was taken aback, thinking that these people wouldn't have come all the way here if it wasn't something important. She immediately asked, "Senior brothers and sisters, you all look so rushed. Has something important happened?"
Sect Leader Ye Qingyun shook his head and said, "The emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty will visit our Heavenly Sword Sect in a few days. Immortal sects and the imperial court have always been unrelated. Of course, the Great Yan Dynasty once thought of recruiting our Heavenly Sword Sect to serve the country, but we are all cultivators, how can we enter officialdom?"
Xiao Yuhan thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't the Great Yan Dynasty supposed to respect the Dao? Why are you senior brothers and sisters troubled?"
"The emperors of the Great Yan Dynasty have always respected my Heavenly Sword Sect. However, the current Emperor Hong Chi seems to be determined to bring my Heavenly Sword Sect under the service of the court."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan immediately realized that an important plot was about to unfold. The young prince of the Great Yan Dynasty, Murong Zhi, would become her fourth disciple. Murong Zhi was also the male protagonist in the original novel, "Eternal Empress." Although he was a tragic male protagonist, he was also an important link in driving the main storyline.
The original novel states that Murong Zhi, who deeply loved the female lead Bai Yao, was later killed by Xiao Yuhan, which led to Bai Yao's complete descent into darkness. Thinking of this, the system also gave a prompt: "Chapter Two: The Handsome Young Man Enters the Immortal Sect is about to open. The host's task is to take the male lead Murong Zhi under his wing and use his royal connections to establish a connection for transferring benefits with the Great Yan Dynasty."
Xiao Yuhan wondered to himself, "Huh? Isn't it just about taking on disciples? Why do we need to establish some kind of mutually beneficial relationship?"
"Hint: This is a hidden plot not explicitly stated in the original work. Xiao Yuhan colludes with the Great Yan Dynasty behind the back of the sect, betraying the sect's interests and cultivating his own power."
"This guy is really ruthless..." Xiao Yuhan couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't intend to change the situation. He used to read novels just for fun, and he never saw the hidden plot in them.
However, this also explains why Xiao Yuhan wanted to kill his senior brother, the sect leader, at the end of the original novel. It seems that this person was set up as a treacherous villain who would stop at nothing to achieve his own interests.
At this moment, the most silent second senior brother, Liu Jiantang, spoke up: "If our Heavenly Sword Sect is unwilling, who can force us? We are willing to live for the common people, but we will never bow down to royal power."
The proud and arrogant Third Senior Sister, Shen Huairu, nodded in acknowledgment and said in a cold voice, "If the visitors are truly hostile, then it's not impossible for the Great Yan to change its name!"
Upon hearing their conversation, Sect Leader Ye Qingyun frowned, shook his head, and said, "Junior Sister Huairu, please be careful with your words! I am a cultivator, not some arrogant madman of the martial world. Junior Brother Xiao, do you have any countermeasures?"
Xiao Yuhan was taken aback. Instead of answering, she poked her head out the door and called out, "Are all the people in the Discipline Hall dead? Can't you see your senior uncles and aunts have arrived? Quickly, bring some tea!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was speechless, especially the second senior sister Shen Huairu, who disliked Xiao Yuhan to begin with, and said coldly, "Junior Brother Xiao is really in a good mood, he still has the mind to drink tea at a time like this!"
Xiao Yuhan quickly invited everyone to sit down in the inner hall. "Hey, senior brothers and sisters, what's the rush? Sit down and have some tea. We are all the backbone of the Heavenly Sword Sect, so don't act like we're facing a formidable enemy."
A hint of anticipation flashed in Sect Leader Ye Qingyun's eyes as he looked at Xiao Yuhan and asked, "Junior Brother, do you really have a solution?"
"Don't rush... let's talk slowly after we finish our tea!"
