Gu Nianxi was even more surprised to see Ying Cizhou because of Wan Ge, and she was so close to him for the first time.
"Master..." Wan Ge's voice, which was originally full of surprise, softened under the other's gaze and she spoke softly again: "Husband, why have you come?"
With a "thud," the Frost-Sealing Sword that Gu Nianxi was holding fell to the ground. Hearing the sound, she instantly came to her senses and quickly picked up the sword again.
What did she just hear?! This sword spirit sister, she calls Ying Cizhou her husband?!
Ying Cizhou seemed completely oblivious to her reaction, patted Wan Ge's head, and softly replied, "I came out to look for you as soon as I found you weren't there, why didn't you tell me?"
"I forgot... I'm sorry." Wan Ge immediately lowered her head.
Ying Cizhou sighed helplessly: "I don't blame you."
Wan Ge smiled instantly: "Really?"
Ying Cizhou hummed in agreement, his gaze falling on the sword manual on the table next to Gu Nianxi, but he quickly looked away.
The next second, he casually asked Gu Nianxi, "Would you like to become my disciple?"
Gu Nianxi was taken aback by the question. He knew this was a huge benefit to her, just like today, even though his strength was clearly superior to Mu Qingning's, he still fell behind due to resource constraints.
But... her master offered her a better sword back then, and she refused to replace the Frostbite Sword. She won't replace it now either.
"Thank you for your kindness, Grandmaster Uncle. But my master has been very good to me, and I only want to become his disciple in this lifetime." Gu Nianxi bowed obediently.
Ying Cizhou was not surprised by the answer. When Gu Nianxi was about to look up, a bottle of medicine and a token suddenly appeared in her hand. A deep and gentle voice said in her ear, "Cultivate well."
By the time Gu Nianxi had fully raised her head, Ying Cizhou and Wan Ge had disappeared.
Gu Nianxi looked at the medicine bottle in her hand, poured out a pill, and put it in her mouth. It melted immediately, and tasted somewhat sweet without being bitter or unpleasant.
In an instant, the strength and spiritual energy consumed in the battle were replenished without any need for rest. At the same time, the wounds that were still bleeding slightly healed at an extremely fast pace.
The pills were smaller than the others, and there were probably dozens more in the bottle. However, such medicine was very rare for Gu Nianxi, and she would never use it unless absolutely necessary. She immediately put it into her storage ring.
At the same time, Gu Nianxi looked at the sword manual and the token of the secret realm several more times, and finally carefully put the token into her storage ring, and then began to look through the sword manual that Wange had given her.
Unbeknownst to them, a middle-aged man outside the door sighed.
This middle-aged man is the Third Elder. He only began cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage in middle age and only then did he begin to maintain his youthful appearance.
However, the fact that the Third Elder was able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage in middle age was already quite remarkable. Later, due to his hard work and comprehension, he became one of the best among his peers.
The Third Elder felt that his disciple was foolish; she had such a good opportunity, yet she didn't agree.
The Third Elder did not attend the competition today; he had been busy with other matters and had just returned. Upon hearing about his disciple's injury, he rushed over, only to hear Ying Cizhou ask, "Do you wish to become my disciple?"
Ying Cizhou was someone even his grandmaster wanted to become his disciple, but his little apprentice refused.
