In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 52 Feeling proud
Song Yuanqiao said, "Qingshu is still young. He made a mistake, and I, as his father, can only take the blame for him."

Upon hearing this, Miejue coldly snorted, "Sect Leader Song's actions are noble, but have you considered what people in the martial arts world will think if he really does this? Will they think I, Miejue, am arrogant and domineering, forcing Sect Leader Song to harm himself on Wudang Mountain?"

As she spoke, Miejue thought of Zhang Cuishan's incident on Wudang Mountain last year.

They were simply offering a proper birthday celebration, which involved asking Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu a few questions along with the other major sects. However, after a few nonsensical words, Zhang Cuishan severed his own heart meridian in front of the six major sects.

Afterwards, not only was the Heaven Sword confiscated by Zhang Sanfeng, but Miejue also earned a reputation for being ruthless and unforgiving.

"Although I am tyrannical in my actions, I don't like being smeared."

Upon hearing this, Song Yuanqiao immediately realized what Extinction meant.

These two were not ordinary wandering cultivators; they were the leaders of a sect.

Even the smallest thing can be blown out of proportion in the underworld and damage one's reputation.

Moreover, Song Yuanqiao's actions just now were indeed inappropriate.

Realizing the impulsiveness of his actions, he belatedly spoke up.

"Indeed, I, Song, did not think this through and failed to consider it so deeply. I hope you will forgive me, Master."

Faced with Song Yuanqiao's sincere attitude and humble demeanor, Miejue's anger had subsided considerably.

He then looked at Gu Shaoan.

"Shao'an, what do you think?"

When asked about the matter, Gu Shaoan smiled and said, "Master, you can decide everything."

His tone was gentle, his attitude was calm, and there was no sign of him being angry or trying to hold a grudge.

This inevitably increased the goodwill of Song Yuanqiao, Zhang Songxi, and other Wudang people towards Gu Shaoan.

Looking at Song Qingshu, who hadn't yet stepped forward to admit his mistake, Song Yuanqiao realized that over the years, he had only focused on teaching Song Qingshu martial arts, neglecting to care for his character and conduct.

Hearing Gu Shaoan's response, Miejue's face remained expressionless, but she was extremely satisfied in her heart.

This trip to Wudang was originally intended to lure Gu Shaoan into a trap, with the intention of retrieving the Heaven Sword ahead of schedule.

Having won twice already puts them at a huge advantage.

In addition, although Song Qingshu broke the rules just now, his final move was only aimed at Gu Shaoan's shoulder and he did not kill him. It can only be considered as improper behavior.

Not to mention Zhang Sanfeng was there.

Even if Zhang Sanfeng were not in Wudang, given the long-standing relationship between Emei and Wudang, Miejue would not have held onto this matter so firmly.

Immediately, Miejue spoke up: "Since my disciple is not injured, considering the long-standing relationship between Emei and Wudang, this humble nun will not pursue the matter any further."

At this point, Miejue changed the subject, saying, "However, after today, I hope Sect Leader Song will pay more attention. After all, just because I am easy to talk to doesn't mean that other people in the martial arts world are the same as me."

"If Young Master Song's actions today had been committed by any other martial arts practitioner, even with Master Zhang's protection, I'm afraid the reputation of Wudang would have been tarnished."

Song Yuanqiao quickly replied, "I understand. I will definitely teach my son properly afterward. Thank you for your magnanimity, Master."

Extinction gave a soft "hmm" and then fell silent.

Upon seeing this, how could Song Yuanqiao not understand the meaning of extermination?

He immediately gave the order, and Zhang Songxi stepped forward and handed the Heaven-Slaying Sword to Miejue.

"Master, return the jade to its rightful owner."

With both hands, Miejue solemnly accepted the Heaven Sword. Feeling the familiar touch and weight of the Heaven Sword, Miejue's heart trembled.

It felt as if a huge weight had been pressing on my heart for the past year had suddenly vanished without a trace.

That was the sense of security that came from successfully preserving Emei's foundation.

Seeing that Miejue had accepted the Heaven-Slaying Sword, Song Yuanqiao first dispersed the disciples, then instructed Mo Shenggu to go to the Wudang Library to copy the "Wudang Nine Yang Skill". As Mo Shenggu left, Song Qingshu was also taken away.

Before leaving, Song Qingshu subconsciously glanced in Zhou Zhiruo's direction.

But when his gaze fell on Zhou Zhiruo, he found that Zhou Zhiruo's heart and eyes were completely focused on Gu Shaoan, and Song Qingshu's expression immediately fell into despair.

She was being led around by Mo Shenggu like a puppet.

Back inside the Zhenwu Hall, Song Yuanqiao's gaze lingered for a moment on Gu Shaoan, who was standing obediently behind Miejue.

Looking at Gu Shaoan, who is both well-behaved and composed, who would have thought that this boy, who is only eleven years old, already has remarkable strength?

Song Yuanqiao said, "This disciple of yours truly possesses extraordinary talent!"

As he spoke, Song Yuanqiao felt a pang of envy.

Over the years, Wudang has had thousands of disciples, but none have been as amazing as Gu Shaoan.

However, after only two months of learning, Emei's "Willow Catkin Sword Technique" has already reached a state of perfect fluency, and even Emei's "Three Appearances of the Divine Dragon" has entered a more advanced stage.

"If this child were in Wudang, why would Master need to worry about Wudang having no successor?"

As he pondered this, Song Yuanqiao couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Seeing Song Yuanqiao's undisguised envy, Miejue couldn't help but smile.

Although Wudang is a top-tier power, it actually has many problems.

Moreover, it is different from Emei.

Emei has a good reputation within its own territory, but in the broader martial arts world, it is only second-rate.

In contrast, Wudang, being too big, attracts a lot of attention.

A single misstep could lead to utter ruin.

Therefore, Song Yuanqiao, the acting leader, may seem glamorous, but in reality, he faces no fewer difficulties than Miejue.

Otherwise, how could the teaching of Song Qingshu have been neglected all these years?
Perhaps they shared a similar fate, both burdened by the weight of rise and fall.

The lingering gloom in Miejue's heart had completely dissipated at this moment, and she spoke softly: "Shaoan is young, but he has the advantage of a calm and diligent mind. The time he spends on cultivation every day is something that even I am ashamed of. It is because of such perseverance that he has achieved what he has today."

Seemingly noticing the softening of the extermination attitude, Song Yuanqiao nodded and said, "Talent is certainly rare, but character is even rarer."

"Your disciple is so young yet possesses such a resilient character; his future achievements are bound to be limitless."

Extinction nodded and said, "Then I'll take Master Song's auspicious words as a sign."

After saying that, Miejue turned her head and said softly, "Shaoan, why don't you thank Sect Leader Song?"

Gu Shaoan slightly turned to the side and performed the Emei salute, saying, "Thank you for the praise, Sect Leader Song. This junior is unworthy of it."

Despite winning two consecutive matches, he remained humble and composed.

In addition, Gu Shaoan's outstanding appearance and temperament made Song Yuanqiao like him more and more.

"such a pity!"

[Congratulations to the player for achieving this achievement! Achievement points +1000.]

"Huh? That's only a thousand achievement points?"

Gu Shaoan's eyes lit up when he saw the pop-up notification.

"As expected, if I want to quickly gain achievement points, I still have to do something."

However, upon seeing the words "triumphant" on the system notification, Gu Shaoan couldn't help but glance at Abbess Miejue.
