Cen Muliang raised his eyelids.
"Why, is there anything special that deserves your special mention?"
Ning Yanzhi said: "Disciple just thinks it's a pity that she didn't come to Danxia Palace."
Cen Muliang raised his eyebrows in surprise, then smiled: "It's rare to see you speak so highly of others."
Ning Yanzhi replied: "She is indeed extraordinary. I am afraid that none of the disciples who have started this year can catch up. Maybe not even the previous years."
After a pause, he added: "When I was her age, I didn't have such strength."
Cen Muliang said: "Stronger than you? Her demonic heart was not cultivated by herself. Isn't it surprising that her cultivation is stronger than yours?"
"It's not just the demon heart...master, do you know? She set up the seven-star demon-destroying array alone..."
Cen Muliang listened to what he said in detail, and nodded while listening: "In this way, it is indeed a pity that she was not able to bring her back. However, there is nothing she can do about her choice of Wuji Sect."
He also comforted his disciple: "Your cultivation was gained through sword-by-sword training, while hers was absorbed from others. Even though they look similar now, they will be completely different in the future. Don't be ashamed."
Ning Yanzhi was not ashamed, but had an indescribable sense of crisis. This feeling started when I saw Miss Bai, and it became even stronger when I saw Master Ling again. It's just that he can't describe this feeling, and when he talks about it, it feels like he's afraid of others.
As a swordsman, if you don't have the courage to move forward, how can you practice peerless swordsmanship?
In the end, Ning Yanzhi just cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Master."
——
Ling Bufei lived a life of being indifferent to what was going on outside the window. There was no need to go to class. There were two elders who were looking closely at every step, so there was no need to go to class.
Bai Mengjin didn't go out much either. Hua Wusheng exchanged her military exploits for a bunch of demon hearts and was busy practicing.
So they relied on Baili Xu to travel back and forth every day to understand the dynamics of the sect.
Baili Xu feels that his popularity has skyrocketed recently.
For example, when he went to listen to Uncle Song's sermon, someone came to wait for him, which made him feel flattered.
"Junior Brother Baili, we will have a small sword discussion after the end. We will communicate with each other and compare swordsmanship. Do you want to come with us?" The senior sister who invited him is called Shen Hanqiu. She has always been good at dancing and she has said a few words to him before.
Baili Xu looked to the side, and the group of people nodded kindly to him. They are the most outstanding group of sword-cultivating disciples, and they each have teachers and families behind them. Because he was a servant of the Ling family, he usually couldn't get into their circle.
He smiled gently and honestly: "Can I go?"
"We are all from the same sect, what can't we do?" Shen Hanqiu said with a smile, "You used to always be with the young sect leader, and we didn't have the chance to interact. Now that we have the opportunity, we are about to get close."
Baili Xu hesitated for a moment, then quickly agreed: "Then I'll be disrespectful and ask my senior sisters and brothers for advice."
Shen Hanqiu left satisfied.
After the sermon ended, Baili Xu followed them to the sword pavilion of one of his senior brothers.
At first, everyone discussed the content of today's sermon normally, and practiced swordsmanship with each other for a while.
Baili Xu didn't talk much. He would either pick someone to echo or talk about commonplace things. When it comes to discussing swords, I just put on a show and make do.
However, he was quite surprised. I always thought that these senior brothers and sisters were from famous families and were taught by famous teachers, so they should be very powerful, but it turns out that’s how it is!
Thinking about it again, my apprenticeship is also very famous. Did I lose to them?
The sword discussion meeting came to an end, and everyone talked about other things. When Baili Xu lowered his head to drink tea, he caught a glimpse of a senior brother winking at Shen Hanqiu from the corner of his eye.
Shen Hanqiu glared at him, turned around and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Baili, you have been walking alone lately, why don't you accompany the young sect master?"
"Yes! Is the young sect leader okay?" A junior sister Han asked with concern, "We all heard about the last trip back to Liuyue City. It was very thrilling."
Baili Xu answered honestly: "Uncle Hua Shi is healing the young sect leader, so I don't need to accompany him."
"Ah!" Junior Sister Han whispered, "I heard that Uncle Hua Shi went to Peach Blossom Peak to ask for a lot of medicine for his injuries. So it's true? Is the young sect master injured so badly?"
Baili Xu shook his head: "Uncle Master said that the injury has been suppressed, but this time there is something special. She wants to try another way."
"What way?"
Baili Xu stopped answering and said with a smile: "How did I know that my uncle only discussed such important matters with my master, and I just listened."
Everyone had their own thoughts, and no one suspected that Baili Xu's answer was untrue. After all, he was just a servant, so it was good to know so much.
"Uncle Hua Shi doesn't want to cure the young sect master, does he?" A senior brother asked bluntly, "Since the young sect master can release the shield, it means it is still possible to cure him, right?"
Baili Xuhan smiled and did not answer, but judging from his expression, this guess was obviously correct.
After the small sword discussion meeting, everyone went back to their homes and reported to their masters or elders.
Shen Hanqiu's master's surname was Gan. Elder Gan couldn't help but smile when he heard what she said about Baili Xu's reaction: "Uncle Hua is unwilling to accept it after all! Also, Senior Sister Jiang and her share the same love as mother and daughter, and she is also responsible for the young sect master. As long as there is hope, you will never give up."
"Master, is it really possible that the young sect leader can be cured? Does that mean..." She pointed in the direction of the main peak.
Elder Gan said: "There is definitely hope, but curing it is not that simple. I have been to Peach Blossom Peak before, and Uncle Hua asked for a lot of elixirs related to demonic energy."
Shen Hanqiu thought for a while: "You mean, the possibility of the young sect leader being cured is not high? Uncle Hua Shi is not a dead horse but a living horse doctor, right?"
"It's not so pessimistic." Elder Gan said, "There is more hope than before, but it is still very slim. Otherwise, how could the sect leader be so calm?"
As far as she knew, the Ling family also sent people to ask for a meeting, but there seemed to be no follow-up. Based on the Ling family's attitude over the years, if the young sect leader can really be cured, why don't they hurry up and mend their relationship? It's probably unlikely, so just wait and see.
"Then let's..."
"Just wait and see what happens." Elder Gan put away his hand and said, "Just give it a little more attention. Don't take it too seriously. It's time to tighten up your cultivation. The Spiritual Cultivation Conference is only a few years away."
"I understand, Master."
Similar conversations occur on the remaining peaks.
The elders tasted it, some were secretly excited, and some were more vigilant, but they were all like-minded and maintained the same attitude of attention. As Elder Gan said, there are no signs of it yet, so it’s best to wait and see.
There are no Jiazi in the mountains, and time passes so peacefully and quickly.
My face hurts a little, but I still have to continue... pull the time bar, there will be a new plot in the next chapter.
