My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.

Chapter 249 Didn't I tell you to stay and guard the sect?

A hand landed on his shoulder. Li Chunfeng walked to his side and looked in the direction where Su Ling'er had disappeared.

"Oh my god, this is great news!" Li Chunfeng patted Wang Xiedi on the back. "Anhe City is near Qingxu Mountain. We know the way, so they can go ahead and we'll just arrive a little later."

"We know the way, that's our biggest advantage. Besides, I also learned a secret technique about lightness skill in the secret realm, so I won't be able to hold you back!"

……

【Initial Chapter: Triple Wind Riding】

Using internal force to control the wind, the movements are light and agile, allowing for brief gliding through the air. It consists of three layers, each layer increasing in height. This is the foundation of the entire movement technique. When one cultivates and continues to practice to a certain level, the next chapter can be unlocked.

【Sword Ode - Ten Thousand Miles】

I am but a traveler in this world, a wanderer; I draw my sword to cut through the dust, each step a song.

I left the East Sea at dawn and lodged in the mountains at dusk; my heart's desire is not separated by ten thousand miles.

Legend has it that there was a swordsman who had no chance to become an immortal and did not cultivate spiritual power, yet he could travel the world solely with his inner strength.

He observed the vastness of heaven and earth and felt the brevity of human life, and thus created this method.

Although this method does not involve cultivating immortality, one can still ride a sword, with the sword intent piercing the air and the body moving with the sword.

When one cultivates to the highest level, one can traverse thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in a single day, witnessing the sunrise and sunset.

Although this person eventually turned to dust, his name "One Sword Travels Ten Thousand Miles" has been passed down through the ages, becoming an unattainable afterimage in the hearts of ordinary martial artists.

……

Wang Xie nodded: "But wouldn't it be a bad idea to just leave like this? Senior Sister just told me that I am the sect's guide. If I leave now, wouldn't I be... wouldn't I be letting Senior Sister Su down?"

His thoughts were a jumbled mess.

Seeing Wang Xiedi's conflicted expression, Li Chunfeng said, "I think you're overthinking it. Senior Sister Su's words were probably just a joke. Think about it. You're only at the Qi Refining stage. It's impossible for them to entrust the sect's guide, or even the entire sect, to a disciple like you at the Qi Refining stage."

Wang Xie shook his head; he also thought it was unlikely.

"That settles it then." Li Chunfeng spread his hands. "Senior Brother and she were probably just saying it casually, so don't take it too seriously."

"Then, shall we go?" Wang Xie looked around at the empty surroundings, and then looked at Li Chunfeng.

"Let's go! Let's go!"

The two turned around, walked towards the mountain gate, left this place, and headed towards Anhe City.

Within the Guixi Sect, eight or nine out of ten disciples had already left. Occasionally, a few newly logged-in disciples would emerge from their caves and transform into streaks of light, rushing out of the mountain gate.

The sect was deserted, with only the NPC Elder Qian still carrying out his daily tasks, or wandering back and forth with stiff steps.

At the mountain gate, several Elder Qian stood around the gate with empty eyes, preparing to welcome the next visitor.

……

High in the sky, the air currents brushed against Lin Qingfeng's clothes.

With his hands behind his back, his body floated among the clouds, slowly drifting towards Anhe City.

The mountains and rivers below shrank into dark lines in his eyes, and his gaze wandered among the different landforms, searching for possible scenic spots to visit.

He also sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations behind him, and the cyan sword light was chasing after him.

Lin Qingfeng sensed Su Ling'er's presence and frowned slightly. "No way? Didn't I tell you to stay at the sect as a receptionist?! How did you get out here?!"

With that serious expression on your face, I thought you were really going to take good care of the house! Was your seriousness only worth that little bit of time?! I thought you were a hardworking and excellent employee, but it turns out you just turned around and skipped work to go out and have fun, huh?!

You're terrifying!

Lin Qingfeng decided to stop and wait, wanting to hear what kind of explanation Su Ling'er could give him.

……

Su Ling'er exerted all her strength to activate the wooden sword beneath her feet.

The wind howled shrilly in her ears, and spiritual energy surged wildly through her already slightly stinging meridians. She pushed her speed to an unprecedented extreme, transforming herself into a streak of light as she resolutely rushed towards the figure ahead.

Ahead, the figure of the eldest disciple, Lin Qingfeng, hovered in the air, his robes fluttering.

This speed, for her, was a life-consuming pursuit; for him, it seemed like nothing more than a leisurely stroll.

This enormous gap strengthened Su Ling'er's tragic resolve even further.

She knew that her senior brother was definitely not waiting for her; he simply wasn't focused on the journey. She had to catch up with him before he changed his mind and started moving at full speed!

Finally, she rushed to Lin Qingfeng's side, forcibly restraining the sword light. The huge inertia made her stagger and almost slide to her knees in front of Lin Qingfeng.

Lin Qingfeng looked at her pale face with some surprise: "No, why are you bowing so deeply the moment I turn my head! Get up quickly! Didn't I tell you to stay behind at the sect and be a guide? Why did you come along?"

Hearing this question, Su Ling'er panicked. Oh no! Was her senior brother angry?!
Dereliction of duty and disobeying one's master's orders—which of these isn't a capital offense in the Demonic Sect? She's gambling with her life!
But what should I say? I can't exactly say, "I'm afraid you'll sacrifice my hometown, so I've come to monitor you," can I? If I said that, I'd probably be a corpse in the next second!
To say that he is too weak to manage the sect? This may seem like a show of weakness, but it is actually a questioning of his arrangements and a slap in the face!
Su Ling'er's brain was racing amidst extreme fear and oxygen deprivation. Countless thoughts arose and were rejected one by one. Seeing her senior brother's brows furrowing deeper and deeper, she felt that she was being driven to the brink of despair.

Never mind! Let me die!

Su Ling'er suddenly raised her head, her eyes revealing genuine fear and helplessness, not feigned panic, with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Reporting to Senior Brother... this disciple... this disciple dares not remain alone!"

"Senior Brother! The senior and junior brothers in the sect... they are truly terrifying!"

"Moreover, having personally experienced life and death in the battle in the canyon, my Dao heart is already fragile. Today, seeing the demons running rampant within the sect, and those senior brothers acting strangely, I... I am truly terrified!"

"The thought of you leaving, Senior Brother, and leaving me alone to face those terrifying beings fills me with fear. I can't sleep at night. I'm afraid... I'm afraid that before the new disciples even arrive, I'll be so frightened that my Dao heart will collapse and I'll suffer a cultivation deviation!"

"Moreover, what Senior Brother said earlier has enlightened me! I even feel that without Senior Brother's protection and guidance, I would find it difficult to make any progress on my path of cultivation!"

"In my opinion, the only way for us cultivators to temper our Dao heart is to follow our senior brother, witness him enter the world to cultivate, and experience the myriad phenomena of this mortal world!"

"To work in isolation is ultimately futile; I am foolish and dull-witted. Only by closely following in my senior brother's footsteps can I survive in this cruel world of cultivation... I hope that my senior brother... will give me a chance to follow him, considering my sincere devotion!"

Lin Qingfeng looked at Su Ling'er with some surprise.

He blinked. "No... is your Dao heart really that fragile? You're so afraid of your Dao heart collapsing just being alone? Isn't your mental fortitude a bit too poor, Saintess? And... you really are too clingy, aren't you?"
Is there anything else worth reflecting on in my words and actions...? Lin Qingfeng's thoughts paused here.

Ah, wait a minute. What my junior sister said... seems... very reasonable!
He reflected on his usual behavior—speaking without restraint, doing whatever he pleased, and always seeking amusement. Wasn't this the highest realm of "observing the myriad phenomena of the world" and "cultivating one's moral character"?
Lin Qingfeng's lips curled up uncontrollably.

Looking into Su Ling'er's eyes, which were filled with reverence and determination, he felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and recognition welling up inside him.

have a look!have a look!
What does it mean to have keen insight?

That's what you call having keen insight!
Of all the disciples in the sect, only you, Junior Sister, saw right through my carefree exterior and saw the heart that was always yearning for enlightenment beneath it!

That's right! To follow me is to follow the Great Dao! I am that kind of being!
Moreover, the NPC Qian Buyu is guarding the sect. I've already set up the detention function, and he'll even provide food and drink. No one will die. At most, when we come back, there will be a bunch of newbies squatting down with their hands on their heads at the mountain gate.

It's alright!
