Chapter 45 Immortal Lord 045%
The person who came was Mo Xuanxiao.
Ever since Qu Yaoyao married into the Immortal Ruins, Gu Tianci had dismissed most of the Immortal Servant and other servants from the Delusion Ruins, and had even forbidden outsiders from entering or leaving the Immortal Lord's bedroom. Only Xie Qingxun and his disciples were allowed to enter this area.
Accustomed to the desolation in Wangxu, Mo Xuanxiao never thought that anyone would dare to practice sword outside the Immortal Venerable's bedroom. He was nearly injured by the sword energy. He avoided looking at the owner of the sword and saw a bright and pure beautiful girl.
"You are Mo—"
As she tried to recall his name, Mo Xuanxiao curved his lips slightly and gently reminded her, "Mo Xuanxiao."
At a glance, he recognized the girl in front of him. Although he didn't know why she turned into a child a few days ago, her clear and innocent eyes were very impressive.
...Qu Yaoyao.
Mo Xuanxiao silently repeated the name in his heart.
She was the only one who could practice swordplay outside the Immortal Venerable's palace. Although he knew her name, Mo Xuanxiao politely called her, "Madam Yao."
Qu Yaoyao opened her eyes wide.
Although she'd heard many people call her by this name before, she still felt a little awkward when Mo Xuanxiao called it out. Gently drawing her sword behind her, she uttered a helpless "Ah," "I feel really uncomfortable with this name."
"Di Shu and the others rarely call me that. Since you're also Xie Qingxun's apprentice, why not just call me by my name?"
Qu Yaoyao? Or Yaoyao?
Mo Xuanxiao lowered his eyes. Although he didn't know how Di Shu and the others became his master and Taoist companion, he was different from them. He had to be polite and abide by the rules and be cautious in everything he did.
Deliberately avoiding the topic, he pulled out a small object from his pocket and handed it to Qu Yaoyao, saying, "This is something I found under a tree earlier. Madam Yao, do you recognize it?"
It is that exquisite snow lotus flower.
Qu Yaoyao subconsciously touched her hair and nodded, "This is mine. I searched for it for a long time the other day and couldn't find it. I wonder if you found it."
She took the pearl flower from Mo Xuanxiao, not caring if it matched the dress Xie Qingxun had chosen for her, and casually pinned it to her hair. Yue Yue thanked Mo Xuanxiao and asked curiously, "Are you Di Shu and Gu Tianci's junior apprentice?"
Mo Xuanxiao nodded, "I'm ranked third from the bottom."
"So you are his youngest disciple?"
"Not really." Mo Xuanxiao answered every question, "I have another junior sister after me. Master has four disciples in total."
They are Tian, Di, Xuan and Huang, and he is Xuan in ranking.
Qu Yaoyao didn't know much about this, having only seen Gu Tianci and Di Shu on weekdays. It was only after Mo Xuanxiao explained that he had been sent out on a mission by Xie Qingxun and had just returned.
"I see." Qu Yaoyao gently swung the sword.
Mo Xuanxiao wasn't the outgoing type, and Qu Yaoyao wasn't the talkative type either. After they had a brief understanding, they fell silent. Just as Qu Yaoyao was trying to find an excuse to practice swordplay, Chong'an suddenly spoke up, "Don't let him go. Keep talking to him."
Qu Yaoyao: “?!”
“…”
When Xie Qingxun arrived at the meeting hall, the leaders and elders of the various sects of the Wanmen Immortal Sect were already in place, and Pei Ziyi had also arrived.
This sect meeting was to discuss the upcoming Immortal Sword Conference. Before it, the sect leader said worriedly, "Have you heard about the Phoenix Plants appearing in various places in the lower realm?"
Many people echoed, "I received news the day before yesterday that there were too many snow beasts appearing during this year's snowstorm. It must be this Phoenix plant causing trouble."
"What Mr. Huang said is not right. The Phoenix Plant is just a magical herb. How can it cause trouble?"
"So, according to Pavilion Master Wei, you suspect someone is behind the Phoenix Plant?"
Someone couldn't help but think of the warning that appeared over the Dragon Cloud Tower a few days ago, and said with a pale face: "Could it be that the demons are causing trouble, and the demon god is really about to appear in the world?"
"Don't talk nonsense. The world is peaceful now. How could the devil appear for no reason?"
The group's expressions changed as soon as they mentioned the demon god. The sect leader was embarrassed by being scolded and immediately retorted, "The world is stable?"
"This year, snowstorms hit all parts of the Lower Realm, blizzards ravaged the land, and snow beasts wreaked havoc. Those white phoenix plants appeared in abundance, seemingly free of charge. Countless cultivators in the Lower Realm were injured and killed as a result. And you tell me the world is stable?"
White Phoenix plants are not ordinary; even a random one can be called a fairy-grade spiritual herb. But the problem is that phoenixes have been extinct in this world for thousands of years. How could such a large number of Phoenix plants emerge from this world?
The straightforward sect leader sneered and looked around at everyone present, saying, "There's no need for you all to feign ignorance. The Honghu plants appeared so strangely, don't you want to know where they came from?"
"In other words, you don't want this top-quality immortal herb anymore?"
"Master Zhong, please be careful with your words!" His words made most of the people present change their expressions.
The headmaster pressed his forehead, a headache aching. He had originally hoped to let the two immortal masters take charge, but today, both masters were strangely silent. Pei Ziyi leaned to his left, his gaze absentminded, his thoughts etched elsewhere. Xie Qingxun rested his chin on his hand, quietly observing the group, showing no intention of stopping them.
"Enough!" The headmaster slammed the table hard and could only scold with gritted teeth.
He was the highest-ranking person in the Immortal Sect besides the Twin Lords, and these sect leaders and elders had to give him some face. Seeing the Sect Leader's outburst, everyone fell silent. Only the Second Sect Leader remained stubborn and said, "Whoever has a guilty conscience knows for sure. You'd better hide your true colors and never show them."
The headmaster slammed the table again, and the situation became tense for a moment.
At this time, a woman's soft laughter could be heard. The only female sect leader present slowly tossed her hair and looked at Sect Leader Zhong and said, "It's been many years since we last met. Third Brother Zhong is still so straightforward and interesting."
The woman who spoke was Qu Yingsi. After Qu Yaoyao got married, she did not continue to retreat.
After years of diligent practice in maintaining her youthful appearance, Qu Yingsi maintained her looks in excellent condition. Coupled with her deliberately youthful and flamboyant attire, her delicate pink dress was extremely eye-catching among the crowd of black and white, making her look like a girl in her early twenties.
As she spoke, everyone's attention shifted, and Zhong Zongzhu's angry expression also eased a little. Looking at the young and beautiful woman opposite him, he still replied politely: "It's been many years since we last met. Sister Si looks young again."
She's so young and beautiful that it's weird.
Qu Yingsi smiled again.
Her red lips curled up in a smile as she tilted her head to glance at the main seat. When she met Pei Ziyi's gaze as she wished, her smile widened. She quickly looked at the headmaster and said, "Look where our topic has strayed from just now. Didn't we agree to discuss the Fairy Sword Conference?"
"Could it be that after not seeing you for so many years, the Sect Master missed me and specially invited all the brothers and sisters to come over and have tea with me?"
"Master Qu is joking." The head of the sect calmed down a little.
Seeing that Qu Yingsi was trying to smooth things over for him, the sect leader took the opportunity to pick up the topic of the Fairy Sword Conference, taking over the topic that had just caused everyone to be embarrassed and angry. Soon, everyone's attention returned to the Fairy Sword Conference. Xie Qingxun frowned slightly and raised his eyes to glance at Qu Yingsi.
This woman is not simple.
The hours that followed were long and boring, and Xie Qingxun couldn't help but think of Qu Yaoyao. He wondered if that clumsy little girl had practiced sword fighting properly since he left. The four disciples he had taken in had different personalities, but none of them were as clumsy as her.
After the meeting was over, he slowly walked out of the hall door. Just as he was about to go back, Qu Yingsi came to Xie Qingxun with light footsteps. "Immortal Venerable, please stay."
She raised her heavily made-up face, looked at Xie Qingxun and said, "I wonder if I could delay the Immortal Venerable's time for half a cup of tea?"
.
Qu Yaoyao and Mo Xuanxiao are not very familiar with each other and are not very good at communicating.
But since Chong'an asked, Qu Yaoyao would do her best to do it. So when Mo Xuanxiao said goodbye and left, she stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, saying a little embarrassedly: "Xie Qingxun taught me a set of swordsmanship, but I'm not very good at it. Can you help me take a look?"
Mo Xuanxiao was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on her long sword that was flashing with cold light, and after thinking for a while, he nodded.
Xie Qingxun taught Qu Yaoyao the most basic sword techniques. Even though Mo Xuanxiao didn't learn much from Xie Qingxun, he still knew the Liuying technique. Unlike Di Shu and Gu Tianci, Mo Xuanxiao was calm and patient. Since he had agreed to Qu Yaoyao's request, he would do his best to teach her.
“Use force in your wrist when holding the flowers.”
"Turn around quickly."
"Okay, now draw your sword and sweep it flatly." He stared at the dancing girl in the yellow skirt, and as she completed her last move, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Qu Yaoyao was actually a quick learner. Previously, she'd been so focused on Xie Qingxun that she'd repeatedly complained about not being able to remember. Now, without the distraction of beauty, she focused on learning quickly. Under Mo Xuanxiao's guidance, she was able to execute a smooth sword move after only two practice sessions.
"Okay, take a break." Mo Xuanxiao saw that the hair on Qu Yaoyao's cheek was wet.
Qu Yaoyao walked a few steps to him. Although she was a little breathless from exhaustion, her eyes were shining. The more she practiced, the stronger she became. When she was happy, she would pull at people's clothes and said excitedly, "I think I have memorized it. Can you watch me practice it again?"
Mo Xuanxiao looked down at his clothes that were being held, and for a moment, he almost forgot Qu Yaoyao's identity.
"Okay." He responded gently.
His eyes fell on Qu Yaoyao's back, and as his mind wandered, Qu Yaoyao suddenly turned her head to look at him. When their eyes met, Qu Yaoyao smiled with her eyes curved and shushed, "Don't remind me this time."
Mo Xuanxiao was amused by her childish actions and nodded again.
She was truly clever. This time, without anyone's reminder, she smoothly executed all the sword moves. Taking Mo Xuanxiao's every instruction to heart, she swept out with her final sweep, imbued with spiritual energy. The blade hummed, and the sword energy spread and vibrated layer by layer.
Wow——
The surrounding fairy trees were affected and a rain of dead leaves began to fall.
Mo Xuanxiao was standing under the tree. As he retreated and dodged, he vaguely saw the changes in the magic sword in Qu Yaoyao's hand. For a moment, he seemed to see the phoenix totem.
"Nice sword." He murmured.
Qu Yaoyao didn't expect that she could actually shake off the leaves. She was confused and her head was covered with leaves. She shook her head and ran to Mo Xuanxiao. She couldn't help laughing when she heard his humble praise.
"I wonder what this sword is called?" Such a famous sword must have a name.
It was this question that stumped Qu Yaoyao.
Yes, what is the name of this sword?
Blinking, she looked down at the beautiful, straight sword in her hand and said with some embarrassment, "I haven't given it a name yet."
What should I call it?
Mo Xuanxiao hadn't expected this immortal sword to be anything other than the famous one it had long ago. He took a closer look and suddenly noticed the phoenix totem on the hilt was gone. Unaware of his dazzlement, he gently asked, "Can I see this sword?"
"Of course." Qu Yaoyao immediately placed the sword horizontally in front of Mo Xuanxiao. Just as Mo Xuanxiao was about to reach out to take it, the sword emitted a golden light that violently knocked him back a few steps.
It hated his scent.
Qu Yaoyao was startled. She didn't expect the sword to attack suddenly. She was about to run over to check if Mo Xuanxiao was injured when someone suddenly grabbed her collar.
Xie Qingxun appeared behind her at some point, and questioned her in a sinister tone, "How dare you let others touch the sword I gave you?"
It was a pity that he was still thinking about her, while she was having a happy chat with his disciples.
