The person who impersonated a disciple of the Xuantian Sect in the secret realm was actually the Seventh Elder of the Xuantian Sect, although his cultivation level was only at the late Nascent Soul stage.
But after being dragged out of the secret realm, seeing the sect leader and several elders treated the same as him, and then witnessing Tan Taibei's breakthrough formation, his Dao heart was completely shattered, and he had no other thoughts left.
Moreover, even if he were to fight, he knew that his master was right there, and if he dared to harm even a hair on the other's head, he would probably be dead today. So he originally intended to just go through the motions.
But he never expected that although Tan Taibei had only reached the late stage of Core Formation, he was a whole realm lower than him.
However, the mutated ice spirit was simply domineering, and Tan Taipei's Ice Soul Seven Kill Sword had already reached a minor level of mastery. Although he could not completely challenge opponents of higher levels, that small figure did indeed force the Seventh Elder on the other side into a sorry state.
Especially when he used the seventh move of the Seven Kill Sword, "Frosty Star Condensing Soul".
A single sword strikes, a cold star falls, and all laws fall into winter!
The entire space seemed to freeze, and the Seventh Elder opposite him was also frozen for a moment.
In that instant, Tan Taipei pushed his footwork to its limit, unleashing a Cold Marrow Technique into his body, then condensing ice into chains that bound his limbs.
Finally, the short leg kicked him, and the Seventh Elder crashed heavily to the ground.
Everyone in the audience: "..."
Almost everyone could see clearly that at the beginning, the Seventh Elder was indeed giving way to Tan Taipei, but gradually, he was forced to his knees by that small figure.
Although in the end, the Seventh Elder certainly didn't use his full strength, everyone could feel the sword intent and chill contained in Tan Taipei's final sword strike.
"What a little monster..."
Such thoughts arose in everyone's minds at the same time, and those gazes, whether shocked, fearful, or complicated, surged from all directions.
But Taipei doesn't care at all.
He deftly sheathed his sword, walked briskly to his master's side, and stretched out his small hand. This time, he didn't tug at the sleeve anymore, but directly took Nan Qing's hand.
"Master, I won!"
Nan Qing lowered her eyes and met those bright, sparkling eyes, and her mood suddenly improved.
"Hmm, were you scared in the secret realm just now?"
Tan Taipei shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid."
He knew that his master was watching him, and he wasn't afraid of that ugly thing.
"Um."
Nan Qing grasped the small hand that was still a little cold, glanced at the group of people who were still lying on the ground, and suddenly raised her hand, striking the plaque of the main hall of the Xuan Tian Sect with a burst of spiritual energy.
The force was well controlled; it didn't shatter the object, but instead left a deep mark on it.
"This matter is settled so easily. Consider this mark as a reminder to you."
"Those who are not righteous on the path of cultivation will eventually suffer the consequences."
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, yet every disciple of the Xuantian Sect could hear it clearly.
After saying that, he took Tan Taipei and flew away into the sky.
The others from the Qingyun Sect quickly followed suit. Today was just too exciting! Grandmaster Uncle was so handsome!!
From then on, everyone in the cultivation world knew of Master Ling Shuang's care and protection for his disciples.
There's a saying: Never mess with Tan Taipei. If you do, then take a cue from the Xuan Tian Sect—they'll beat your ancestors, dig out your spiritual veins, and destroy your foundation!
After returning, Nanqing resumed her previous life, taking care of the child, watching dramas, basking in the sun, and occasionally leaving him behind to sneak off to the mortal world for fun when she was in seclusion in Taipei or going out to train.
Time in the cultivation world is fleeting, passing in the blink of an eye.
That day, Nanqing looked up at Tan Taibei, who was even taller than her, and said helplessly:
"Taipei, you've grown up now, it's time for you to live in your own room..."
Tan Taipei lowered his eyes, staring at the tips of his master's shoes, without saying a word.
He just didn't want to be separated from his master...
Nanqing had a bit of a headache. Ever since Tan Taipei was fifteen, the two of them had talked about sleeping in separate rooms countless times, but it was clear that she always lost.
"Taipei, you've already reached the Nascent Soul stage..."
"This disciple is afraid of the dark."
"Taipei, you're eighteen now..."
"This disciple knows how to kick off the blankets."
"In Taipei, men and women are separated..."
“Master can treat me as a female cultivator.”
......
In fact, Nan Qing herself didn't know how to describe her awkwardness, it was just... she knew that the person in front of her was him.
But she had watched Tan grow up in Taipei, and the thought of the child she raised becoming her Daoist partner made her feel a little strange...
Seeing Nan Qing remain silent, Tan Taibei took a step forward, secretly hooking Nan Qing's sleeve with his hand and gently tugging at it, just like when they were children.
"Master..."
This shout was full of twists and turns, completely devoid of the cold and aloof demeanor he usually displayed in front of outsiders.
Nan Qing rubbed her forehead, then slowly lowered her hand and covered her eyes.
She should have listened to Xiao Ba back then; she shouldn't have raised this brat herself!
Unfortunately, this time the decision to sleep in separate rooms ended again because she softened her heart.
Tan Taipei smiled again as he left Ling Shuang Peak, but shortly after he stepped out of the barrier of Ling Shuang Peak, a female cultivator suddenly blocked his way.
"Uncle-Master Tantai..."
The girl's cheeks were flushed, and she was dressed in the robes of an inner disciple with a black belt around her waist. Clearly, she was a disciple of Sword Peak.
"For this training... can I be in your team?" The girl mustered her courage, raised her head, and looked up, her eyes filled with admiration. "I... I've always admired Uncle-Master Tantai..."
Dan Taipei took a step back, widening the distance between herself and the person, her voice colder than usual:
"The sect leader has his own arrangements for the training."
After speaking, he immediately mounted his sword, but before leaving, he lowered his eyes and coldly said to the female cultivator he didn't recognize:
"Don't look at me like that again. I have a Daoist partner, so as not to cause any misunderstandings."
After Tan Taibei's figure completely disappeared, several female cultivators ran over from a distance, chattering excitedly around Liu Ru.
"How was it? Did it work?"
"What did Uncle-Master Tantai say?"
"Liu Ru, Liu Ru, don't just stand there, tell me something."
"That's right, that's right, hurry up and tell me, Liu Ru??"
Liu Ru then came to her senses and said blankly, "My martial uncle said... he has a cultivation partner..."
The rest of the group: "...!!!!"
Uncle-Master Tantai has a Daoist partner?
When did this happen?
How could they not know?!
