After Xu Yan finished drinking the tea that Zhao Bailian made for him personally, the loyal old Qiao beside him said goodbye to the mountain after leaving all the Mingqian silver monkeys with only a single leaf in the bamboo basket.

Before leaving, Zhao Bailian thanked him as usual and left a sentence, when the despised person passed by Songyang Town in the future, if he needed it, he could help take care of him. Lao Qiao would not refuse this, and he still nodded with a smile, but in his heart, he sighed heavily.

After Lao Qiao left, Zhao Bailian took Xu Yan directly and left Ruoshui Villa with her, and then the master and apprentice began a long mountaineering journey.

Walking on the main peak where the mountain is so high that it is unknown how many feet tall, Xu Yan was still amazed at it even though the Martial Ancestor was reborn. The reason is that although the mountain at his feet is much inferior to the famous mountains and rivers he had visited, as the mountain grew higher, the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth on the main peak became increasingly rich, and there were even signs of being close to the heavenly realm where he was originally located.

In the Wuzhou Continent, it is rare to have such mountains, and this main peak has indeed achieved the glory of the Lotus Sect for more than 300 years since its founding. Unfortunately, after the passage of time, the current situation of the Lotus Sect has become as the chess piece said, as if it were the old man in his late years, and he would have been old. If Zhao Bailian had not been hard-working for more than ten years, perhaps the towering peak under her feet had changed his surname.

Along the way, Zhao Bailian always cherished her words like gold and did not speak too much. Xu Yan himself was not a talkative person, so the master and apprentice walked for about an hour, but could not say ten sentences. It was not until the two of them walked for another two quarters of an hour that Zhao Bailian took Xu Yan to a mountain top similar to the observation deck, and stopped to rest for a while. Then Zhao Bailian pointed to the undulating mountains in the distance, which were already shorter than the two of them now, and asked, "Did you see the mountain in the distance that is second only to our sect?"

Xu Yan followed his gesture and could still see countless black dots on the mountain, densely packed. He replied, "That should be Fengyang Mountain where Chenyang Sect is located?"

Zhao Bailian nodded and said, "Not bad."

Then, he pointed to each side of the east and west and continued to ask: "What about the two peaks pointed to behind the master."

Xu Yan answered truthfully, "The one in the east is Qingxuan Mountain where the Yunlan Sect is located, and the one in the west is Baihe Jianzhuang in Feiyanling."

Zhao Bailian's eyes were deep, "Then can you see from these peaks what they have in common?"

Xu Yan knew that this was when the other party was really testing him. He was silent for a while and replied truthfully: "They are all like rising suns, with a sign of prosperity."

When Zhao Bailian heard this, she turned her head to look at him, with a little admiration in her eyes, but then she turned her head to look at the endless mountains that were full of sight, with a hint of vastness on her face, and said helplessly: "Yes, they all have the thriving image, and they can be said to be at the peak of the sky. Only my Lotus Sect is now at dusk, and even my own people have no confidence in their own people. The Sword Sect, which has been passed down for more than 300 years, is now about to interrupt the inheritance incense in the hands of her master. It really makes people feel a little ashamed of their ancestors."

As a disciple of the sect, Xu Yan naturally would not know nothing about it. However, his cultivation is still shallow, and he is no longer the original "Xu Yan". Although he will also have some compassion for the experience of the sect, he must let him climb to a high position step by step through his own efforts and try to turn the tide and save the sect. How could he not have such ambition? Not to mention that he did not come from the Five Prefectures Continents, and the path he would take in the future was not limited to this world. Even if he promised the other party to do this, he would have to wait until he truly grows up and can change the practice pattern with his own strength. It is not known how long it will take. And just because of the current situation of the sect, it will not last long.

Therefore, Xu Yan felt the loneliness in the other person's words, but he didn't know how to answer, but he felt a little sympathy for the latter. However, no matter what, he could not tie his future destiny to the other person on the same rope.

When Zhao Bailian saw Xu Yan silent for a long time, she seemed to feel the hesitation and pity in the latter's heart. At the same time, he felt that he was saying too much. He turned around and walked back to the mountain trail, and smiled with difficulty, saying, "There is nothing else to say to you, and I don't want you to focus on the sect. I just hope that if there is really a day and you have enough abilities, I hope you can help the sect once."

When Xu Yan heard this, he looked at him in shock. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Zhao Bailian seemed to be able to see through the surprise in his heart, and said straight to the point: "After all, you have been with a disciple who has been a master for three years. Although you don't know what happened to you, you can still notice some changes in your temperament. However, you don't need to be afraid of this. You will not restrict your freedom because of this. What happened before and what will happen in the future."

When Xu Yan heard this, he instantly realized that what Zhao Bailian said to him before was not just a simple complaint, but more of the other party was testing his attitude towards the matter. The result was obvious that he was exposed because according to his former "his" character, he would inevitably stand on the same boat with the other party. Not to mention whether he could finally carry the banner of reviving the sect, but at least in terms of the choice of position, he would be much clearer than he is now.

Looking at Zhao Bailian who had been leading the way, Xu Yan took a deep breath, thought carefully in his mind before saying, "If there was really one day, I would do my best."

When Zhao Bailian heard this, she suddenly turned around and looked at Xu Yan. There was no trace of melancholy on her elegant face? His eyes were like torches and said with great pride: "Okay, this sentence is enough with you. My teacher has great expectations for you. I also hope that you can grow up quickly. As for whether we can wait until that day, let us do our best and then leave our will. Now, my master will take you to a place that only the sect leader of the past dynasties can go to, so that you can see what the real swordsmanship is. As for whether you can improve your cultivation level again in the short term, it depends on your own luck."

...

At the same time, Zhou Xian, who was shocked by the dragon's powerful sword energy at the Lotus Sect, was finally awakened at this moment on the small lotus peak, and then he got up and walked out of the house and saw the Supreme Elder of the Chunzi Sect who was sitting quietly.

For the old man who was trembling when most of the disciples of the Chunzi Sect saw him, Zhou Xian had no fear on his face. His face was gloomy and he asked directly: "Who was the one who attacked me last night?"

The old man turned his head to look at him, shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know her true identity. I only know that she was originally the maid of the sect leader. Later, after the sect leader accepted Xu Yan as his personal disciple, he asked the maid to go to Liuyun Courtyard, saying that she was responsible for Xu Yan's daily life. But now, she should not be a maid, but a personal guard arranged by the sect leader by his personal disciple."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xian said with a grim expression: "Then send someone to find out her identity. This bitch dares to hurt me. I will definitely let her get rid of her body."

The old man raised his eyebrows and dissuaded: "Don't do anything bad. This woman can knock you out with one sword but not hurt you at all, which means she just wants to stop you from seriously hurting Xu Yan. Moreover, since she has such powerful control power, she must at least have the cultivation level of the Middle Three Realms. Now it's not time to tear her face, so you must not be too hasty."

When Zhou Xian heard this, his face turned grim: "Then let me swallow this anger?"

When the old man saw that the young young man who was in front of him was his own disciple, but in fact, the latter had a great background, he felt a headache and had to continue to speak and persuade him: "Now you are not even in the third level. It is not easy to find that woman. You can't let the elders of this sect, or me, take action for you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xian showed a sneer on his face covered with clouds, and said, "Is it difficult to be the third level?"

...

Just at dusk today.
