In the eyes of many in the Taiyi Sword Sect, Li Ming was ultimately an outsider.
The Sword Tomb is a forbidden area of the Sword Sect, containing many secrets and opportunities. In their view, it would be inappropriate to easily make a promise to Li Ming...
Even if Li Ming is highly talented, he still needs to undergo some tests and trials before being given this spot.
However, Sect Master Bai Lang showed Li Ming unusual trust and favor, which not only surprised Li Ming, but also surprised many of the higher-ups of the Taiyi Sword Sect.
Normally, the sect leader is not an easy person to talk to.
However, as the leader of a sect, Bai Lang naturally possessed his authority and did not explain to them.
Because the spirit of the Sword Tower personally gave him the instructions.
They should befriend the Taiyi Sword Sect.
The kind that's willing to pay any price.
Bai Lang was initially worried that Li Ming would ask for an exorbitant amount, but to his surprise, it was just a trip to the Sword Tomb, which wouldn't be a problem.
In his view, even if Li Ming took away a top-grade divine sword, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Meanwhile, Ye Lin and Li Ming had just stepped out of the Sword Tower when they were entangled by experts from various forces.
One by one, they asked Li Ming all sorts of questions, which annoyed him to no end.
Fortunately, a cold-looking young man came along and sternly chased them away, showing no fear of offending them.
When Ye Lin saw him, his expression changed, but after glancing at Li Ming, he calmed down again.
This person was none other than Ye Xin, the "fallen genius" of the Ye family.
Seeing that it was the renowned Sword-Holding Elder of the Taiyi Sword Sect, the crowd dared not pester him any longer.
This is the infamous Jade-Faced Asura; those who anger him never have a good ending.
"Greetings, Elder Ye Xin."
Upon receiving Ye Lin's reminder, Li Ming glanced at the entry on the other side and understood.
Name: Ye Xin
[Realm Level]: [Eighth Level of the Unity Realm]
[Entry]: [Nine Tribulations Divine Body (Orange), Sky-Piercing Sword Bone (Light Orange), Divine Swordsmanship (Light Orange), Exceptional Comprehension (Dark Purple), Blood and Qi Like a Dragon (Dark Purple), Chosen One (Dark Purple)...]
[Nine Tribulations Divine Body (Orange)]: [A special physique. Once one survives nine life-and-death tribulations, the physique can be fully activated, allowing one to soar to great heights.]
Rumors circulated that the Sword-Holding Elder had only achieved the Great Perfection of the Great Perfection, but unexpectedly he was already a master of the Eighth Level of the Great Perfection. No wonder he was able to secure his position as the Sword-Holding Elder of the Taiyi Sword Sect.
It's unexpected that the Taiyi Sword Sect would send such a person to help them out; they probably want the other party to resolve their grudges with the Ye family.
Since Ye Xin is willing to come, this matter should be easier to handle.
"If Ye Xin can reconcile with the Ye family because of me, that would be great."
Li Ming nodded secretly.
He certainly wouldn't stay in the Sword Realm for long. If he could get Ye Xin back into the Ye family, he wouldn't owe the Ye family anything.
"If Brother Li Ming is willing, you can call me Brother Ye."
Ye Xin laughed heartily, without putting on airs.
He was no longer a young man; having walked for a thousand years, he had long since honed his skills in dealing with people and situations, otherwise he would not have been able to secure his position as the Sword-Holding Elder.
Therefore, at the sect leader's instruction, he quickly put aside past grievances and went with the flow to establish a friendship with Li Ming.
"Thank you so much, Brother Ye, for helping me out of that predicament."
Li Ming smiled and nodded.
"The opening of the Sword Tomb will take some time. Why don't you stay at my Sword Sect for a few days?"
"good!"
Li Ming readily agreed, not worried about what tricks the other party might play.
Seeing Ye Xin's attitude, Li Ming readily agreed and naturally didn't say anything more. The group took to the air and entered the depths of Taiyi Peak.
The many figures in the distance looked at the backs of the group, shook their heads, and were still discussing something.
Ye Xin quickly led Li Ming to a beautiful mountain peak. The environment here was beautiful and extremely quiet. The group entered a tall pavilion in the middle of the mountain. Apart from the disciples who were serving, there were no outsiders to disturb them. It was a good place to rest.
"Brother Li, you can rest here during your time at the Sword Sect. I guarantee that no one will disturb you. If you need anything, just give the order."
Ye Xin spoke up.
Li Ming nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness."
The three of them then started chatting, and Li Ming intentionally or unintentionally steered the conversation toward Ye Xin's past.
Ye Xin is younger than Ye Lin, but in terms of seniority, she is actually a bit older than Ye Lin.
Ye Lin had also experienced Ye Xin's embarrassing departure.
"When I became a cripple, many people in my family treated me well. Looking back, I was indeed too young and impetuous back then."
Ye Xin recalled it as if she had returned to that afternoon.
In fact, the Ye family made a lot of efforts to help him with his injury, which in turn harmed the interests of many people.
He lost both his parents when he was young, and it wasn't easy for him to grow up. His eventual departure from his family broke the hearts of many people who wanted what was best for him.
When he finally returned to his family, he learned that his eldest sister, whom he regarded as his mother, had died. He immediately blamed the family for everything and had never given them a kind look over the years.
"Cousin, after you left..."
Ye Lin also revealed some things.
These are all things that Ye Xin has always avoided.
Given his status, it would be easy to find out, but he has been focused on cultivation and has a high position to handle affairs in recent years, so he has intentionally avoided such information.
Actually, Ye Xin's relatives were not doing badly after she left home.
The death of Sister Ye Xin was purely because Ye Xin had been missing for many years and had developed a mental illness.
"It was my fault..."
As she spoke, Ye Xin's eyes even became a little moist.
In the past, although he was talented, he kept his talents hidden and always harbored a sense of pride, keeping his thoughts to himself.
Now he holds a high position, possesses extraordinary cultivation, and can do whatever he wants.
But some things can never be regained.
After resolving his inner conflict, Ye Xin felt as if the heavy weight that had been pressing down on him for so many years had finally been lifted.
Realizing he had been somewhat out of line, he said apologetically:
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Brother Li."
"It's good that the misunderstanding can be cleared up."
Li Ming shook his head, a slight smile appearing on his face.
Ye Xin then got down to business, speaking seriously:
"Regarding the Sword Tomb, I have a few things to remind you of..."
