Ning Yue listened to what Zhou Xingdou said, and then glanced at Fahai behind Zhou Xingdou.
Although it was a bit strange that Tian Jiu'er would appoint a monk as a guest elder, she also knew that Zhou Xingdou wouldn't lie to her about something like this.
He then very generously bowed to Fahai:
"It is my duty, fellow Daoist, please forgive me."
Fahai also responded with Buddhist gestures:
"Amitabha, you are too kind, benefactor."
However, Ning Yue did not treat Yuan Tian with such kindness. She glanced at him indifferently, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes, and then ignored him.
Ning Yueze's dislike for Yuan Tian wasn't something that started overnight; the main reason was that Yuan Tian had bribed Ning Yueze in the past, hoping she would help persuade Zhou Xingdou.
The consequence was that Ning Yue cleaved Yuan Tian out of Nine Profound Peak with a single sword strike, and by the time he came back the next time, Yuan Tian's sword wound had not fully healed.
Yuan Tian shook his head indifferently. Ignoring him was much better than slashing him with his sword.
Since nothing was wrong, Ning Yue naturally didn't pursue the matter further. Her slightly heroic eyes looked at Zhou Xingdou, a hint of a smile appearing on her face.
"I never imagined that after just one month of training with Han Yi, I would have changed so much that I almost didn't recognize him."
A gentle smile appeared on Stephen Chow's face as he slowly said:
"People have to grow up eventually."
"Now that you've become a Dao Child, Elder Yang next door is furious. A few days ago, he summoned Fang Tianyang back to the sect, insisting on having a competition with you."
At this point, Ning Yue patted Zhou Xingdou on the shoulder and laughed heartily. The neighboring place she was referring to was Jiutian Peak, where Elder Yang was also a steward like Ning Yue, and the two of them were closely related in their duties.
The other party was furious, but Ning Yue was naturally happy.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingdou's eyes lit up with amusement, and he chuckled.
"Fang Tianyang? He actually decided to return to his sect."
As the chief of Jiutian Peak, being able to be ranked alongside Zhou Xingdou and being called half a genius by Tian Jiu'er, he is naturally no ordinary person.
He was three years older than Zhou Xingdou, possessed an ancient spiritual body, and had immense magical power that stretched as far as the river.
Fang Tianyang should now be at the True God realm, just like Zhou Xingdou is now.
However, since breaking through the True God barrier, he left the sect to hone his skills, and five years have passed since then. When Zhou Xingdou met him in his previous life, Fang Tianyang was already at the Half-Saint realm.
Unfortunately, he was defeated by Lin Fan, who was at the God King realm, during the battle for Dao Child. He became disheartened after that and never appeared again.
Ning Yue seemed to think Zhou Xingdou was worried, so she spoke up:
"Don't worry, if he comes to cause you trouble, I will ask him to suppress his cultivation level and fight you at the same level, or I will have Hanyi fight in your place."
"You worthless wretch, if you dare to come, I'll kill you with one punch!"
Zhou Xingdou sneered, and a majestic heavenly might erupted from his body, with a true god aura rising and surging in all directions.
Ning Yue initially thought Zhou Xingdou was exaggerating, but when she sensed the level of cultivation he displayed, her beautiful eyes widened in shock, and she murmured:
"How is this possible? The realm of a true god!"
Ning Yue stared at Zhou Xingdou in disbelief, feeling as if she were dreaming.
It's already incredible that Zhou Xingdou caused such a phenomenal event and was established as a Dao Child after I was only away for a month. Now he has jumped from the Real Person realm to the True God realm. How unbelievable!
However, she was staring intently at Zhou Xingdou, drawn to his mysterious and noble eyes.
Looking at Zhou Xingdou, who was dressed in flowing, dreamlike lightning-patterned armor and possessed an exceptionally handsome and independent appearance, he felt a slight tremor in his heart, which had remained calm for countless years.
A slight blush appeared on her cheeks, instantly revealing a touch of charm to this heroic woman.
Zhou Xingdou looked at the stunned Ning Yueze, cleared his throat twice, and said in a voice as gentle as a spring breeze:
"Elder Ning, there is no need to be surprised. I have recently had a fortunate encounter, which is why I have reached my current level."
Ning Yue also snapped out of her daze, feeling ashamed, but Zhou Xingdou's gentle words made her ears tingle.
"It's good that you have confidence. Hanyi is at Sword Immortal Cliff. You can go and see her."
I have other things to do, so I can't keep you company any longer.
Ning Yue forced herself to remain calm, quickly finished speaking, and then disappeared instantly, seemingly afraid of losing her composure again.
Zhou Xingdou could easily see through Ning Yueze's expression just now, and a wicked smile curled up at the corner of his mouth behind Ning Yueze.
No one understands his current state better than him. Even the holy monk Fahai almost fell for it, let alone a woman?
Even with You Ji's innate allure, she was still a step below him.
After all, it was forged by the combined forces of lightning and heavenly might, possessing an irresistible attraction for any living being.
This is not bewitching at all; rather, it is the instinctive dependence and need of living beings on the heavens, just as living beings need the sun.
However, Zhou Xingdou didn't think much of it. After all, Ning Yue treated him like a strict teacher and had no intention of teasing her.
It's just that I'm not entirely oblivious to it.
Ning Yue's mention of Luo Hanyi sent a shiver down Zhou Xingdou's spine. Remembering what You Ji had said, he naturally decided to go to Sword Immortal Cliff.
But before that, he needed to set up the two light bulbs behind him.
Thinking that Xingdou would return to his original residence this week, he casually abandoned Qingxin Palace.
Qingxin Palace expanded in an instant, standing in its former location, exactly as it was before.
Zhou Xingdou looked at the two of them and slowly gave the instructions:
"You can cultivate here for now, you don't need to follow me."
Fahai and Yuan Tian nodded in agreement, then bowed to Zhou Xingdou and stepped into the palace.
Sword Immortal Cliff is located in the middle section of Nine Profound Peaks. It is a steep cliff and is said to be the place where Tian Jiu'er once comprehended swordsmanship, hence the name Sword Immortal Cliff.
This place is also one of the few places on Jiuxuan Peak that offers a panoramic view of the entire Xuantian Dao Sect, and the scenery is quite nice.
As Zhou Xingdou stepped inside, he saw a beautiful figure standing on the edge of the cliff, gazing outwards.
At the same time, a cold yet ethereal voice rang out:
"They're here."
Zhou Xingdou did not stop. He walked to the edge of the cliff, looked at the distant sky, and softly hummed in agreement.
Beside him was a very beautiful woman, with a gentle heart, delicate bones, clear mind and graceful figure, fragrant skin and jade-like body.
She wore a midnight star-patterned robe, her black hair cascading down to her waist, and her delicate oval face seemed frozen with frost, revealing extreme coldness.
His phoenix eyes, however, appeared somewhat sharp, making people hesitant to look directly at him.
Her slender yet full figure was exceptionally upright, like a sharpened divine sword, so sharp that no one dared to approach.
But her coolness wasn't like Tian Jiu'er's ethereal, otherworldly coldness, hanging high in the heavens.
Moreover, it possesses a cold indifference and ruthlessness, a coldness that can cut through any weapon.
She is like a divine sword hidden in ancient ice, cold, beautiful, and incomparably sharp.
At that moment, Zhou Xingdou heard the voice he least wanted to hear.
