Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 165 Not Forgetting
Yun Yi was concentrating on reading and had no idea that the old sword servant was secretly staring at him. After making sure that the old sword servant did not do anything out of the ordinary, he withdrew his gaze.

Wang Shenlai had somehow gathered with the sword servant and said in a voice transmission, "Are you relieved now?"

The sword servant said, "This guy came here for the myriad sword intentions in the building. He and I are actually on the same path."

"You came here without knowing where you came from, and you stayed in my house and refused to leave. That's the most suspicious thing. But now you're staring at others like they're thieves."

"Young Master, you don't understand. I have received a favor from the Sword Forging Villa, so I will not let any villains enter this place."

"I just said that casually, don't take it to heart."

Wang Shenlai was obviously quite familiar with the sword servant. After exchanging a few words, they went back to read.

Yun Yi paid no attention to these things. After all, this was just a world within a painting, and his time here was limited. His current priority was to learn as much as possible about the Dao of the Sword.

Time flies quickly in the Zongheng Building, and the sun rises and sets in just a moment.

In the blink of an eye, it was getting dark. Yun Yi had just memorized the "Yunluo Sword" completely, so he decided to say goodbye to this place.

Seeing this, Wang Shenlai put down the "Swordsman Record" in his hand and planned to personally send Yun Yi away. After all, Brother Yun was coming to the villa to practice for the first time, so he had to be more considerate.

The two of them left side by side, and the sword servant helped put away the two books. When picking up the Yunluo Sword, the old man couldn't help but mutter, "What's so interesting about women's swordsmanship?"

Although he said so, his fingertips turned into swords and gestured lightly.

Several sword energies turned into needles and threads, which wrapped around the fingertips and wove into an airtight net.

He can actually perform the Yunluo sword technique!

Once one reaches the Dao He realm, they become bound and fused with their own Dao, naturally rejecting other Daos. Without painstaking study and consideration, it would be impossible to reach the point of easily applying the Dao of others.

It can be seen that although this person says he looks down on others, he actually has spent a lot of time secretly learning from them.

On the other side, Wang Shen came to see Yun Yi off the mountain and said, "Why don't you bring your sister-in-law here? It would take too much time to go back and forth like this."

Yun Yi smiled and said, "I see that there are mostly men in the villa, and they are all cultivators. Taking in a mortal like her would be inconvenient."

"That's right. The brothers and sisters in Zhuangzi are like wooden sticks. They have been bachelors for so many years and have never understood the ways of the world."

"I have just memorized a sword manual. I am going back to Wufeng Mountain to study it. I will come back to bother you after I have digested it."

"Okay, next time I come, I'll take you to see some other treasure places." As he said that, Wang Shenlai handed back the small token that Yun Yi had returned this morning.

"This order can be used to travel back and forth to the Sword Forging Villa multiple times. Brother Yun should keep it."

Yun Yi didn't act pretentiously and took it and thanked him.

The two chatted for a few more words, but when they reached the mountain gate, they had to part ways.

Wang Shenlai watched Yun Yi fly away, thinking that Brother Yun was really a wonderful person. He actually handed over the two swords to the villa without asking any questions before leaving.

Moreover, he was very sensible in his actions. Although he had made a deal with the Sword Casting Villa, he was unwilling to take any more benefits.

Little did they know that in Yun Yi's opinion, the young Wang Shenlai was even more interesting.

As his guide at the Sword-Forging Villa, he was very thoughtful and could explain the rules and taboos in detail.

If we look at it from another angle, the realm of the Immortal King Shenlai is too high, and it would be a waste of his talent to guide his disciple who is at the Divine Transformation Realm.

But the young Wang Shenlai can act as a guide for his apprentice, fulfilling the mission of imparting knowledge and guidance in the world of the painting. This is not a waste of time between master and apprentice.

Sword Forging Villa was hundreds of miles from Wufeng Mountain. Yun Yi summoned the Azure Lotus Sword Intention and rode the wind, making his speed quite fast. It only took him about half an hour to reach the mountainside cottage.

Seeing that the formation here was not activated and everything was normal, Yun Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he was inevitably a little absent-minded while studying today, and occasionally worried about Song Xinci's condition.

For example, whether she had eaten well, and whether her home was safe. This shows that love is indeed the enemy of spiritual practice, causing people to be restless.

But only the people involved can feel the joy here.

Song Xinci took good care of herself, eating, drinking, playing and sleeping. Although she could only move around in a small courtyard, she did not feel bored at all, but only felt at ease.

There is no need for intrigue here, nor is there any huge pressure forcing oneself to intensify practice, as if one would fall into endless hell if one was a step slower.

The battle between good and evil, the righteous genius Feng Mo, the Demon Lord Yi Tianxing, and the Futian Pavilion were all thrown behind her mind.

Such a tranquil and peaceful environment allowed her to calm down and re-examine the path she had taken from a perspective she had never thought of before.

The "Taishang Wangqing Dao" and the "Wuqing Dao" have many similarities, so Piaomiaozi felt that Song Xinci and he had a dispute over the great Dao.

The similarity between the two is that they both ultimately want to reach a state of being ruthless and loveless. Only by cutting off all emotions and love can a monk sever the cause and effect and thus gain great freedom.

But in fact, the methods used by the two to achieve this step are completely different.

The ruthless way emphasizes abandoning emotions. When encountering someone who makes you feel uneasy, the first thing you think of is to kill him.

The Supreme Way of Forgetting Love is the complete opposite. It can be sentimental yet heartless, seemingly free from greed, anger, and ignorance, yet in reality, like a calm lake. Song Xinci chose a path of first forming a bond and then severing the ties of love. How can one forget love without love?

However, in recent days, Song Xinci has had new insights into the "Taishang Wangqing Dao".

She finally realized that if the word "love" is only used to refer to "love between men and women", it would be too stingy.

Loving one person, loving several people, loving the mountains and rivers here, loving all people in the world, are actually all "love".

In this way, forgetting love is not simply letting go of one or several people. It is about seeing through all the things in the world and seeing one's true nature.

Only by treating all beings with equal emotions and being able to transcend, can we not be trapped or disturbed by emotions.

Song Xinci was swinging on the swing with some difficulty while realizing the truth.

Yun Yi happened to see this scene when he was returning home. The woman in white was leisurely and comfortable, humming a little tune. He couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that my worries are unnecessary. Song Xinci is a woman who can enjoy solitude and is completely self-sufficient.

And for some reason, her temperament seemed to have changed a little. Although she still had no cultivation, she exuded a sense of transcendence.

This is a scene that only occurs after enlightenment.

Yun Yi placed his hand on the woman's waist and gently pushed her forward. "It's true that comparison is the thief of anger. I've studied so hard over there and gained nothing, while you've been enjoying yourself at home, eating, drinking and having fun, and you've actually gained enlightenment."

Song Xinci enjoyed all of this with peace of mind, "Who isn't a genius in cultivation?"
