"Master." Ye Xiruo's figure quickly appeared outside the lotus pond on the main peak of Lingyun Peak.
The girl, dressed in a light green gauze dress, had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead from running so fast.
A hint of anxiety lingered on her delicate face, and even her brows were tinged with a faint melancholy.
In summer and winter, outside the lotus pond, they both bowed to her, saying, "Greetings, Little Peak Master."
"Get up, go inside and report this."
"Yes, Young Peak Master."
"Peak Master, please come in."
Ye Xiruo's figure vanished from their sight in an instant.
Summer and Winter suppressed the surprise in their eyes. The young peak master seemed to be getting more and more terrifying. With this level of cultivation and this age, even if we look at the entire Blue Ocean Continent, he is definitely a peerless genius.
"Master, I've arrived."
Ye Xiruo walked step by step into this cave she knew so well. The cave was clean and tidy, disturbed by the changing seasons, leaving her with nothing to complain about.
Everything here was exactly the same as before, including the master sitting in the chair, whose drinking posture was exactly the same as before. However, Ye Xiruo sensed something unusual.
"Master." Ye Xiruo stepped forward again and called out to Xue Junhan, her voice trembling slightly, as if afraid that everything she was seeing was just an illusion.
"Little apprentice, you've arrived. Please sit here."
Xue Junhan smiled, a smile that held a mixture of joy and melancholy.
"Thank you, Master. Shouldn't you be in seclusion to recuperate at this time?"
"Cultivation, cultivation... is cultivation really that important?"
Ye Xiruo was stunned for a moment. Wasn't cultivation important? Perhaps, today was not a good day for her master to die for love, and he wanted to have a chat with her and talk about life.
"Drinking is bad for your health, Master, why are you drinking again?" Ye Xi didn't need to go over to know that Xue Junhan wasn't drinking the mild spiritual wine he brewed, but another kind of extremely strong liquor.
What's going on? Why would Master drink such wine? Several questions arose in Ye Xiruo's mind.
"I'm getting old, and I miss the days when I traveled the world and wandered the world with my sword."
Master is acting very strangely today. Could something have happened?
"Master, I'd like to have a drink with you."
Two cups appeared in Ye Xiruo's palm, and she poured a cup of wine for herself and Xue Junhan at the same time.
"Disciple offers a cup to Master."
"good."
This was the first time Ye Xiruo had ever drunk such strong liquor. After downing a glass, her stomach immediately felt like it was on fire, as if it were going to burn her whole body to ashes.
"Hahaha." Seeing Ye Xiruo's expression, Xue Junhan laughed rather unkindly.
Ye Xiruo now seems to be burning, like a fireball.
However, after the raging fire, there is an extreme sense of comfort, with a feeling of comfort emanating from every pore, as if all the troubles and depression in the body have dissipated.
"Master, what kind of wine is this?"
"Only the water of the Canglan River can brew such strong liquor."
The Canglan River flows from west to east into the sea and is the sacred river of the entire blue continent.
I always felt that a man who drinks alone seemed to be hiding endless secrets in his heart.
“Master, strong liquor is harmful to the body, and reminiscing is harmful to the mind. Your disciple begs you to take care of your health.”
"What a fine saying: strong liquor harms the body, and memories harm the mind. My little disciple, your master is about to leave. From now on, Lingyun Peak will depend on you."
Ye Xiruo was greatly alarmed. What did her master mean by this? What was he trying to do with that tone of entrusting his son to her? No, what was her master planning to do?
Could it be something so dangerous that even with Master's divine master cultivation, he still couldn't escape unscathed?
A storm raged in Ye Xiruo's heart. She suddenly stood up, and the chair behind her fell to the ground due to the force of the movement.
"Master, you can't abandon your disciple."
When Xue Junhan saw Ye Xiruo's thin figure and aggrieved expression, his heart softened. He wanted to go find the Holy Master right now. As for the demons, let them go and destroy them. He wasn't going.
My little apprentice is so cute and innocent, what will happen to her if I leave?!
"No matter what Master is going to do, this disciple will go with Master."
"Little disciple, you've grown up. I can now entrust Lingyun Peak to you with peace of mind." Xue Junhan took off a ring from his finger and gently slipped it onto Ye Xiruo's slender finger.
A seemingly ordinary ring, set with a blue gemstone, represents the symbol of the leader of Lingyun Peak. Seeing this ring is equivalent to seeing the leader himself. In other words, Xue Junhan has passed the position of leader of Lingyun Peak to Ye Xiruo.
Ye Xiruo hurriedly tried to take off the ring: "Master, I don't want to. I don't want to be the sect leader. I just want you to be safe and sound. Master, you can't abandon me." Ye Xiruo's eyes immediately reddened. If she wasn't sure before, she was now completely certain that her master was going to do something very dangerous.
Even his master himself wasn't confident of escaping unscathed, so he summoned him and handed him the sect leader's token, precisely because he didn't want the lineage of Lingyun Peak to be cut off.
But if Lingyun Peak loses its master, is it still Lingyun Peak?
However, the ring seemed to have taken root in Ye Xiruo's hand, and she couldn't take it off no matter what she did.
"Master," Ye Xiruo looked at Xue Junhan with a sorrowful expression, "don't you want your disciple anymore?"
Xue Junhan slowly drank a cup of wine: "Little disciple, it's my fault, I broke my promise." Who knew that the demons would suddenly appear, and the situation of the entire continent would change drastically.
When the sky falls, there are big guys to hold it up. Now that the sky has really fallen, it's their responsibility—the responsibility that five people are shirking.
"Master, I don't care what you're going to do. You must take care of yourself, you must come back alive, and you must remember Lingyun Peak."
“Little apprentice, you don’t need to do this. I have already lived a life of triumph in this world, and I have no regrets.”
This was clearly a dying wish, a final message. Ye Xi couldn't remain calm; how could this be?
“Master, you have two choices now. Either take me with you, and no matter what happens, I will stay by your side. Or you can go and fight to the death. I will wait for you to return at Tianjian Peak.”
Xue Junhan touched the corner of his eye. As he got older, he could no longer bear to hear such hurtful words. But before Xue Junhan could speak, Ye Xiruo continued, "If you still don't come back, I will destroy Lingyun Peak and join another sect. The Holy Master is a very good candidate. When that happens, she will become the Holy Master's disciple and will definitely not be abandoned again."
Xue Junhan was dumbfounded. What was she going to do when her cute and adorable apprentice turned evil?! Waiting for answers online.
