Qian Chen, however, did not question Leng Yue. He only asked one question, "Apple was not possessed by a demon. You killed her, right?"
Android suddenly looked up at Qian Chen, his lips trembling, "Ancestor, you're still the same as before, nothing escapes your eyes."
Android gave a bitter smile, then looked at Leng Yue with dejection. "I am Android, not someone else. I didn't lie to you. Apple and I were both your students and were trained by you. But you didn't make us make any oaths of inner demons. You treated us very well, and Apple and I liked you very much."
Before he could ask any further questions, Android continued, "Apple fell in love with an outer disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect, but that man is not someone you can entrust your life to. In addition, he somehow knew some things about our Sword Dao Sect, so I was very opposed to Apple contacting that man."
“But Apple wouldn’t listen to me, so I locked her up. Who knew that Apple would kill my eldest disciple in order to escape for that man? I was very disappointed in Apple at the time; I never expected her to become such a ruthless person.”
“My eldest disciple is about the same age as Apple. They have spent a lot of time together and have developed some kind of bond. However, Apple is completely infatuated with a man and does things without considering the consequences.”
“When I was searching for Apple, I discovered that the cultivation manual you left behind was missing. I immediately concluded that Apple had taken it! When I finally caught up with Apple, she was indeed teaching that man how to cultivate. I was so angry that I almost lost my mind, but I also knew that Apple was my sister.”
“But I can’t touch Apple. That man who’s been harming people can’t be allowed to live any longer. Just as I was about to finish him off with my sword, Apple rushed up.”
"You stabbed the apple?" Leng Yue asked softly.
"Yes, she could have avoided it back then, what a fool! That silly girl said that she accidentally killed my eldest disciple, and she would pay for my disciple's life. But she only hoped that I would let that man go."
"Are you really letting him go?" It is said that if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze. Leng Yue doesn't know if Anzhuo will leave such a trouble for her.
"No!" Android closed his eyes. "Apple's death needs an excuse. It can't be attributed to internal strife within the Sword Dao Sect. You had just left not long ago, and the Sword Dao Sect was already unstable. I can't let such a thing happen."
“I put down the apple, chased after her in front of her, retrieved the cultivation manual, and killed the man with a single sword strike.” Android looked at Leng Yue and mentioned the apple again, “She kept her eyes open until the very end, just staring at me. I know she hated me, but I don’t regret it.”
"She really is a silly girl." Leng Yue sighed. If it weren't for that kind of man, Apple wouldn't have left this world so early.
"Yes, she's stupid!" Anzhuo smiled bitterly. "Later, the Spirit Sword Sect indeed sent people to find me. A mere outer disciple could alarm their elders. It's obvious they already knew about it!"
"Later, they even besieged the Sword Dao Sect, saying that they would leave if we handed over the cultivation manual. They were like bandits; when seduction failed, they relied on their status as an old sect and tried to coerce us."
"Their sect leader's daughter is a born waste, unable to cultivate anything. So, relying on the power of their sect, they went around gathering information and searching for secret manuals and cultivation techniques, but nothing worked. Later, I don't know who was too talkative, but they turned their attention to our Sword Dao Sect, and that's when all the trouble started."
"Did you give them to them?" Qianchen asked.
"No, back then we didn't have any protective mountain formations or any heaven-defying spiritual treasures. We only had this one training hall. Everyone from our Sword Dao Sect hid here. The Spirit Sword Sect couldn't break through after a long siege, and the situation became increasingly chaotic, attracting a lot of attention. So, the Spirit Sword Sect was forced to stop. Because, like us, they didn't want this secret to be known by more people."
"They just let you go like that?" Leng Yue listened, then felt something was amiss. Such a large sect couldn't even handle a small one; wasn't that shameful? Besides, now that the Spirit Sword Sect knew the Sword Dao Sect's secret, would they really let it go so easily?
"Of course not, but because of the Sword Dao Alliance Leader at the time, who was also a Grandmaster, Sheng Qian, his appearance temporarily saved our Sword Dao Sect. However, the Spirit Sword Sect also put forward a condition, which was that their sect leader's daughter, Ling Xue, had to become my disciple."
“We can’t accept her!” Qian Chen shook his head. “This girl is a hot potato. She’s a well-known good-for-nothing heiress in the cultivation world. If she comes here and becomes an expert, something terrible will definitely happen.”
"Yes, I thought of that too. But the Grandmaster had already agreed, so I could only acquiesce."
"Where's Ling Xue?" Leng Yue asked, looking at An Zhuo. "Where is she now?"
"Spirit Sword Sect".
"You taught me?"
“No,” Android smiled. “Perhaps it was fate that saved me. Ling Xue fell the day before she came to the Sword Dao Sect. After lying in bed for half a month, she suddenly had an epiphany. As a result, the attention of the cultivation world was diverted.”
"No way, it really is a loser's comeback?" Leng Yue's face was full of black lines. If she ever finds Zero, she'll write a novel called "All Kinds of Novel Mayhem".
Qian Chen smiled, patted Leng Yue, and continued talking to An Zhuo, "Is Ling Xue very powerful now? Are the Spirit Sword Sect and the Sword Dao Sect still in contact?"
“She is indeed very powerful. Currently, Ling Xue is ranked number one in the entire Sword Dao Alliance. She is also known as the person most likely to ascend to immortality in a thousand years.” Andrew sighed, “Look at me, I’m over a thousand years old, and my hair and beard are completely white, but Ling Xue still looks like a young girl. Alas, we can’t compare!”
"Then there must be some kind of cheat code." Leng Yue couldn't help but purse her lips. This old man called God is just so capricious. Sometimes he can drive someone to their death, and other times he can favorably give another person an enormous cheat code. Sigh, this is what they call comparing people and it's infuriating!
"A cheat code?" Android thought about it carefully. "It really is. You once said that some people have cheat codes, so they are born to have a smoother path than others."
"Hmm," the more Leng Yue understood, the more she trusted Anzhuo. Otherwise, how could he understand everything she said?
"By the way, what was that competition you mentioned yesterday? Will Ling Xue participate?" Qian Chen asked again.
“She will attend. She is the patriarch of the Spirit Sword Sect and the current leader of the alliance. Whether for official or personal reasons, she will be present.” Android nodded.
"Alright, I definitely want to see the female protagonist of the cultivation world with my own eyes." Leng Yue rubbed her hands together, eager to get started.
“Um, Ancestor, I advise you to prepare properly before you go.” Android suddenly blushed.
"Huh?" Leng Yue wondered what else she needed to prepare after watching the match.
"It's...it's that woman Ling Xue, that woman is a bit...uh, she has a lot of male companions!" Anzhuo said, his face turning red. As a bachelor for a thousand years, he was always a little overwhelmed by the grand scenes that Ling Xue had.
"Oh ho, I'm even more excited..." Leng Yue's eyes brightened even more. Anzhuo looked at Qian Chen, but Qian Chen shook his head.
