Duanmu Xin looked at Xiao Nianxue, who was grinning from ear to ear, with a big smile on his face. Look, this is what you call childhood sweethearts who are innocent and carefree.
That kid named Chen Chen is probably going to have a hard time later. He didn't treat that girl well when he was young, and now that he's grown up, tsk tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes me want to shed a tear for him.
Moreover, not only is the girl's father formidable, but from her grandmaster to her master to her junior uncle, not one of them is kind-hearted. Tsk tsk tsk, she seems even more pitiful.
Fortunately, he's now considered family. He's the younger brother of Chen Yue, the current sect leader of the Heavenly Spirit Sect. In the Cang Realm, this identity is quite influential.
“Uncle Duanmu, aren’t you bored dozing off here every day? Haven’t you ever thought about going up there to broaden your horizons? Besides, my master and the others are here, so no one will dare to bully you.”
Duanmu Xin waved his hand: "Little Xue'er, you don't understand. Compared to fighting and killing, I prefer being a small shopkeeper with a failing business. That's what...that's what..."
Xiao Nianxue's eyes crinkled with laughter: "That's what you call 'too good to be true'!"
After saying that, she ran off in a flash, her silvery laughter echoing from afar, making everyone feel happy.
Duanmu Xin smiled. There are so many beautiful things in the world, he couldn't bear to let them be ruined by some filthy things.

After Ye Sisi and her companions had adjusted to the chaotic spiritual energy around them, they slowly made their way towards the Heavenly Sword Abyss.
The group walked for three whole days but still couldn't see the legendary Heavenly Sword Abyss. The only difference was that the surrounding sword energy was even denser and sharper.
Every so often they would meditate again. Along the way, they encountered many cultivators practicing here, ninety percent of whom were sword cultivators, and the remaining ten percent were also ruthless individuals who were no less skilled than sword cultivators.
Moreover, they were all very young. What surprised Ye Sisi the most was a little girl she had met before. She was only at the Nascent Soul stage, yet she remained as still as a mountain in the Tianjian Abyss, where sword energy crisscrossed. You should know that it took them two whole days to walk from the moment they entered the sword energy area to where the little girl was.
Indeed, there are always people more ruthless than you, and there are always people more ruthless than the ruthless.
What surprised the four even more was that these monks who stayed put were eating the weeds on the ground as snacks.
Ye Sisi had sensed before that the plants here had mutated due to being constantly washed by sword energy, essentially becoming a weakened version of the sword energy.
These people are really ruthless, stuffing sword energy directly into their mouths. Aren't they afraid of cutting their tongues and intestines?
Then, unable to resist, she plucked a weed and stuffed it into her mouth, exclaiming, "So sour and refreshing!"
Coupled with the omnipresent sword energy outside, internal and external troubles come at the same time, making it truly irresistible.
Ye Sisi plopped down on the ground. Damn, her throat was almost slit. However, both the effects of body tempering and the tempering of her sword intent were better than she had imagined. It hurt, but she could bear it.
The four of them walked for seven whole days before finally seeing the legendary Heavenly Sword Abyss.
In fact, the place where they were standing was the top of a cliff, facing the towering cliffs opposite.
Between the cliffs, various sword energies of different sizes and colors flowed through the leaves, creating a hazy, dreamlike scene from afar, like a fairyland.
But Ye Sisi and the other three couldn't help but tense up. Those sword energies looked beautiful, but if they were to foolishly move forward, they would be lucky to escape with their skin peeled off.
So how are we supposed to get around in the Heavenly Sword Abyss? Senior Brother, are you kidding me?
Although they are all strong, all the sword energy here was left behind by those predecessors before their ascension. Not only is there an uncountable amount of it, but it is also ridiculously strong. It seems that they won't be able to leave anytime soon. It will be impossible to do so in less than five, six, seven or eight years.
Aside from the sheer shock of the Heavenly Sword Abyss, Ye Sisi and the others were still somewhat bewildered.
It wasn't for any other reason than that a large group of people were sitting on the edge of the cliff, men and women, all sitting sideways, turning their heads to stare straight at them.
Some people were filled with excitement, some were filled with resentment, and some were pounding their chests in frustration; in short, their expressions were quite varied.
Ye Sisi's four big eyes all seemed to be asking, "What are you doing?"
A radiant young girl smiled and said, "Welcome to the self-harm team!"
Ye Sisi...
Ye Shubai...
Lin Shuangluo...
Ouyang Yanyu…
The four of them had only one thought in their minds: were these people idiots?
Just then, a spotless figure in white leaped up from the dazzling bottom of the cliff.
It was Xiang Yang of the Taiping Sword Sect, the first boy Ye Sisi and her group encountered after entering the Tianjian Abyss territory.
"Fellow Daoists, you don't need to pay them any mind. They're just finding joy in hardship. It's quite interesting, though. You'll get used to it after a while."
Ye Sisi blinked and asked, "Who's the dealer?"
A chubby-looking boy of seven or eight years old raised his hand high: "Big sister, me, me, me! Next time someone comes, feel free to place a bet!"
Ye Sisi gave a forced smile: "Big brother, I'm just as old as you. Is it appropriate for you to call me big sister?"
The chubby boy laughed even harder, patting his round face and saying, "Big sister, I have a tender face."
Ye Sisi nodded and said in a serious tone, "So, you should call him ancestor."
The chubby boy was taken aback at first, then with a graceful side flip, he stood not far from Ye Sisi, and beckoned with a smile: "Let's have a fight. If you win, I'll call you not only 'ancestor,' but 'great-grandfather.'"
Ye Sisi really didn't expect the atmosphere here to be like this, but she didn't make a move immediately. Instead, she crossed her arms and rolled her eyes: "Don't do that. What if you hit the younger one and then the older one comes? That would be really annoying."
The chubby boy in front of them couldn't possibly be only seven or eight years old. He was probably related to a special cultivation lineage, so his previous words were obviously intentional. Whether he wanted to test their strength or give them a hard time, he was just being cheeky. They were newcomers, what had he done to deserve this?
"Don't worry, the rules of Tianjian Abyss are that there are no families or sects here, you only rely on yourself, and it only determines victory or defeat, not life or death. Big sister, if you win, you'll be my ancestor, and everyone can be a witness. Whoever cheats will have to eat shit upside down. Of course, if you lose, since you're not bad looking, how about you call me husband?"
Lin Shuangluo's temper is so bad, but this guy is really asking for trouble!
