"master."
Gu Zhixu bowed and held his hands in front of Yan Qing, with respect on his face.
Yan Qing nodded to him, and then looked at the young apprentice on the Phantom Stage, with fluttering clothes and a smile on his face, full of arrogance.
Now I know who you are...
Sake!
"Sake, I came here to meet some elders."
Yan Qing waved his hand slightly, and a thick spiritual energy pushed away the extremely cold air emanating from 'Qiang Ming'.
He raised his head slightly and looked at the sake not far away with his thin eyes. His blue clothes were blown up by the wind, like an endless sponge with ripples.
When he spoke, his voice was like spring water in winter, and it was especially clear even when the ice was cold.
Qingjiu waved the 'Qiang Ming' in his hand slightly in the air a few times, but felt a little emotional in his heart.
Sure enough, it was influenced by him. After the sword spirit of 'Qiang Ming' was reshaped, the sword spirit obviously felt a little weakened.
"It's because Qiang Ming failed to protect his master, and now he has let him down."
'Qiang Ming' is Sake's natal spirit sword. Even if Sake doesn't speak, it can feel what Sake is thinking.
It was much more sensitive than the system in her sea of consciousness.
"It's okay, I'm here."
As long as she is the one holding the 'Qiang Ming', no one in the world can beat her by half.
However……
After hearing Yan Qing's voice, Qingjiu just lazily raised his eyelids.
【I don’t want to go. 】
[Can’t hear, can’t hear, I can’t hear. 】
"Sake!"
Yan Qing's voice did not change, but his eyes narrowed, but Qingjiu could hear displeasure from the unchanged tone.
So he reluctantly put away the 'Qiang Ming' and walked towards Yan Qing on the Soul Summoning Platform.
[It's best not to say anything that makes me unhappy. You have nothing to do and you are blocking me here. 】
[Don’t force me to give each of you elders a big sinus when I’m happy. 】
Qingjiu was already unhappy in his heart, but on his face he walked to Yan Qing's side timidly.
"Do you know what kind of sword you are holding?"
Yan Qing looked at Qingjiu, who had her eyebrows lowered, raised her hand to hang her messy hair behind her ears, and spoke in a soft but emotionless voice.
"She told me it's called Qiang Ming."
[Aqing, can we stop talking awkwardly and ask me what the sword is called. 】
[It is my big sword, hehe. 】
Qingjiu felt happy in her heart because Qiang Ming was back in her hands. She felt even better when she saw that the expressions of the elders around her were not very good.
"I suggest you remove Qingjiu's natal spiritual weapon and return Qiang Ming to Yi Hong."
This is the old man with gray hair and gray beard, frowning and saying sternly.
Qingjiu narrowed her eyes. She had long known that Jiqing people looked down on the original Qingjiu, but she didn't expect that in order not to offend her original master, she could so easily say something like withdrawing her spiritual weapon.
If the natal spiritual weapon is drawn, Qingjiu's lifelong spiritual practice will stop here forever.
"Qiang Ming belongs to Xiaojiu. No matter who comes, they can't take it away, not even the master or the elders."
"How dare you, do you know what you are saying is treasonous? Do you still want to deceive your master and destroy your ancestors?"
[Oh, it’s really interesting, very good. I would like to see how capable the elders of Jiqing are. 】
[A single word can ruin a person's path to immortality. 】
[This is the Taoist mentality of people who cultivate immortality, which is ridiculous. 】
Gu Zhixu naturally heard what Qingjiu was saying. He raised his head with undisguised surprise in his fox eyes, and then looked at Qingjiu with more complicated eyes.
"Xiaojiu just wants something of his own."
Qingjiu raised his head, and his eyes were still red and looked extremely pitiful, but at this moment, his pale face was full of stubbornness.
As if sensing the killing intent in Qingjiu's heart, Qiang Ming appeared from Qingjiu's body in an instant.
Standing over Sake, his sword pointed at several elders.
"Do you know the origin of Qiang Ming?"
Yan Qing did not comply with the words of those elders, and certainly did not defend Qingjiu.
He heard what Qingjiu was thinking, so he lowered his starry eyes and looked at Qingjiu seriously.
"Qiang Ming is one of the top ten ancient artifacts, ranking second. It is rumored that it was naturally conceived in the extremely icy land of the Nineteenth Level of Hades. On the day the sword was completed, Qiang Ming Sword absorbed all the souls that entered the Hades and killed countless creatures. It is a magic sword, you are sure you can't be affected by it."
Yan Qing looked down at Qingjiu. At the end of his speech, he bent down slightly and slowly approached Qingjiu with his beautiful face.
"The sword in Sake's hand should kill all the evil spirits in the world and cleanse the world of all filth. It will never kill an innocent person."
Qingjiu looked up at Yan Qing, with an unshakable determination in his pitiful almond eyes.
This is the heart of her sword and the path she has taken throughout her life.
"Okay, although Ji Qing Sword Cultivator is not as good as Yi Hong, it can still allow you to find your own path."
Yan Qing retracted his eyes from looking at Qingjiu and spoke softly with the corners of his mouth raised.
"Your Majesty..."
The other elders, especially the gray-bearded Kongxing elder, hurriedly spoke to object after Yan Qing finished speaking.
"Why is Elder Kongxing so unwilling to give up until he draws my disciple's spiritual sword?"
Yan Qing had his hands behind his back, and his back was facing the sun. The expression on his face could not be seen, but it made people feel inexplicably depressed.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Senior Brother Kong didn't mean that. He is just worried that Yi Hong will be blamed..."
"Qiang Ming chooses his own master, what can he say even if he is from Yi Hong? Besides, my disciple himself doesn't feel anything wrong, so why should the elders worry about a junior?"
Yan Qing said in a calm tone.
[Tsk, Aqing, you have grown up. You are different from these old pedants. Not only are you better-looking than them, you are also smarter. 】
[I am very happy that my child has grown up and has a brain. 】
[Why talk about benevolence, justice and morality just because you are afraid of getting angry and burning yourself. 】
After Yan Qing said something, Qingjiu turned to look at him in surprise, her eyes bursting with relief unconsciously.
"Hmm~"
Just when Qingjiu was sighing in his heart, Yan Qing seemed to feel Qingjiu's gaze looking back at her, and their eyes met.
Qingjiu quickly put away the emotion in his eyes and bowed deeply to Yan Qing.
"Xiaojiu thanks the master. In the future, Xiaojiu will definitely become a person that makes the master proud, and will definitely surpass Qiang Ming's last master."
Yes, I surpass myself, there's nothing wrong with that.
"Hmph, I'm not ashamed to speak loudly, but since your Majesty has spoken, you should take care of yourself. Don't do anything wrong with the divine weapon. If you are discovered by the master, you will bear the consequences."
After hearing what Sake said, Kuangata sneered and said to Sake in an obviously impatient tone.
[Hey, you old guy, you think you are invincible just because you are old and have lots of hair. In the past, I could have kicked you ten meters away and knocked out your spiritual roots. 】
[This is just because you grow older and don’t develop your brain. 】
Gu Zhixu listened silently to Qingjiu's words, looking calm on the face but stirring up a storm in his heart.
Yan Qing glanced at the sake and curled her lips.
"Let's go back each. Now that you have obtained the spiritual weapon, the library will be open to you. Go and take a look first."
