All-around protagonist mentor

"boom!"

Qin Daoxin's words struck everyone's minds like a thunderbolt from the heavens, leaving them buzzing.

The two elders of the Celestial Division stared at Qin Daoxin in disbelief, feeling dizzy and disoriented, with only two words in their minds:

Finished!

There was still a glimmer of hope that things could turn around. Tian Shengjun still addressed Qin Daoxin as the Holy Maiden, indicating that he was still mindful of the friendship and interests between the two factions. If Qin Daoxin revealed who had taken her innocence, and the Jitian Division fully cooperated with Wujiangdao to capture that person, there was still a chance to repair the relationship between the two major factions.

But Qin Daoxin's words were like adding fuel to the fire, extinguishing the last remaining possibility of repairing relations between the two factions.

"puff!"

Upon hearing Qin Daoxin's reply, Tianyu Jun, who was sitting to the side, blushed, his body trembled violently, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he became somewhat dazed.

When Qin Daoxin saw Tianyu Jun's appearance, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes. She turned her face away and dared not look at him anymore.

Tian Shengjun glanced at his son with heartache, then laughed angrily, "Very well! What a perfect match! What a mutual affection! What a willing heart! It seems I must commend you, Holy Maiden, for your unwavering loyalty! And I must also commend your Jitian Division for your strict rules and your Dao Division for your effective teaching!"

The two elders of the Celestial Division were so ashamed that their faces turned bright red, but they couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal. They wished they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into immediately.

Suddenly, Tian Shengjun turned to the two elders of the Judicial Division, his voice as cold as the wind, and said through gritted teeth, "Within ten days, I demand that your Jitian Division hand over the adulterer! Otherwise, prepare for my Martial Frontier Iron Cavalry to stain Jitian Capital with blood!"

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, the left and right elders of the Celestial Bureau were greatly alarmed, feeling as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and were at a loss for what to do.

This looks like war is about to break out!

They never expected things to turn out this way!

All of this was because of Qin Daoxin's sudden outburst. I should have known better than to bring Qin Daoxin along!

The two bishops were filled with deep regret.

"Hahahaha~~~~"

Just then, a loud laugh suddenly rang out outside the Star-Picking Hall. The laugh was clear and hearty, and the voice was filled with powerful Yuan energy, which made the entire Star-Picking Hall tremble.

Upon hearing the laughter, Qin Daoxin's eyes snapped open, and a look of immense surprise appeared on his face.

Tian Shengjun keenly noticed the change in Qin Daoxin's expression, and a guess immediately popped into his mind. He was instantly enraged and roared angrily, "Who dares to run wild in my Martial Frontier Dao!"

Hehe~~~

The voice chuckled again, now almost within reach. It proclaimed, "Since Your Excellency is so eager to find me, how could I trouble you? I have come to meet you of my own accord."

Before the sound had even faded, a tall and imposing figure appeared outside the Star-Picking Hall and strode into the hall.

Everyone looked closely and saw that the newcomer was a young man, dressed in a black robe, about twenty years old, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, fair skin and red lips. He was extremely handsome, yet he did not lose his masculine vigor. His steps were powerful and he walked with an imposing manner. What a handsome young man, a beautiful youth in this turbulent world.

The young man hadn't deliberately suppressed his strength, and upon closer inspection, everyone was astonished. They felt that the young man's internal energy was thick and vast, like a surging, roaring river, and a terrifying pressure emanated from his body, not much weaker than that of Tian Shengjun.

However, Tian Shengjun is a master who has cultivated for over a hundred years. How old is this young man in front of him?

Sensing the young man's formidable strength, Tian Shengjun's face turned extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth, asking, "Who are you?"

The young man smiled slightly, like a spring breeze, and said cheerfully, "It's no problem. I am Xiao Linyuan, the leader of the Antarctic Heavenly Profound Alliance."

"Xuanmeng?"

Upon hearing the young man's background, everyone was shocked again. Coupled with the name he gave, the image of a super newcomer who had only recently risen to prominence in the cultivation world suddenly came to mind.

Xiao Linyuan glanced gently at Qin Daoxin, then swept his gaze across the crowd, his eyes carrying an undeniable air of authority. He chuckled, "My purpose here today is simple: to take Daoxin away. I wonder if any of you seniors have any objections? Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

......

"Slurp~"

Qingxuan lay on her small, shabby bed, holding a small porcelain cup filled with clear wine in her right hand. She took small sips every now and then, a contented expression on her face.

"Wow, this is truly a 30-year-old wine. It's mellow and fragrant on the palate with a long aftertaste. Looks like I'll have to go back to Chunyufang to search for more before I leave."

Qingxuan shook her head as she planned her future actions. She tapped the small wooden table by the bed with her left index finger, and a plump peanut jumped out from a small dish on the table. It drew an arc in the air and fell towards Qingxuan.

Qingxuan opened her mouth, and the peanut landed right in her mouth.

"Oh, the wild peanuts from Linglu Mountain are quite good too. They'd make a great snack with drinks. I should pick a few seedlings before I leave."

Qingxuan squinted as she chewed on peanuts, savoring their crisp texture. Another item had been added to her list of things to pack before she left.

Just as he was enjoying his meal, Qingxuan suddenly opened his eyes, and a voice rang out in his room:

"How has Lord Xuan been lately?"

The voice was old and deep, but it did not have a trace of aging. Instead, it exuded a powerful aura.

Qingxuan's face immediately showed a look of annoyance. He sipped his wine slowly and replied lazily, "What 'Lord Xuan' or 'Lord Xuan'? I've said it so many times, don't throw titles at me like that. Only you ignorant people like to presumptuously use honorific titles. Be careful not to shorten your lifespan."

"Hehe, Lord Xuan is too modest. It's just a form of address, why bother with it?" The voice chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned.

"Oh dear, you people really don't listen to advice. I wonder if you're even capable of living up to your reputations. Anyway, let's not talk about this anymore."

Qingxuan shook her head, annoyed, and said, "Speak up, why aren't you in seclusion cultivating? What are you doing here to bother me? I'm leaving tomorrow, it's not appropriate to bother me at this time."

"It's indeed inappropriate to disturb Lord Xuan at this time, but..." The voice sounded somewhat embarrassed and frustrated, "I wonder if Lord Xuan has sensed the situation on Immortal Language Peak?"

Qingxuan glanced outside, a half-smile playing on her lips. "Of course I sensed it, but what does it have to do with me?"

The voice paused for a moment, then sighed, "I beg Lord Xuan to lend a hand and help my Wujiang Dao regain its dignity."

"Hey~" Qingxuan chuckled and said leisurely, "The situation isn't that exaggerated, is it? I don't feel that the Chief and the Junior Chief are in any danger."

The voice gave a bitter laugh: "Lord Xuan, you jest. This is not a simple matter of life and death. Sometimes, the reputation of the sect is more important than the life and death of an individual."

"Then why don't you just go out of the pass and teach that guy a lesson?" Qingxuan smiled slightly, having already anticipated this, and directly passed the buck back to him.

The voice's bitter laugh deepened, and it sighed repeatedly, "Alas, those juniors of Shengjun have already lost face by being no match for that young friend. If I were to intervene, given my seniority, regardless of whether I could defeat that young friend, I would only lose even more face. Moreover..."

The voice sighed deeply, filled with emotion: "Even I, an old man, am not confident that I can defeat that young friend. That young friend is truly gifted; to possess such strength at such a young age is truly astonishing."

"What Xuanjun once said was true. This world really does belong to the young. We old folks... are getting old."

"Tch~"

Qingxuan chuckled, took a small sip of the wine, and said nothing more.

Seeing that Qingxuan did not answer, the voice sighed again, with a hint of helplessness: "Does Lord Xuan really refuse to make a move?"

"Tsk tsk tsk~" Qingxuan ignored the sound and continued to sip her wine.

"Alright, since that's the case, then this old man has no choice but to take a gamble."

The voice seemed utterly resigned, and changed the subject, offering a heartfelt blessing: "I am naturally reluctant to see Lord Xuan leave tomorrow. But I also know that Lord Xuan is not someone that the mere Wujiang Dao can retain. I can only wish Lord Xuan a smooth journey ahead."

"When Xuanjun is tired from his travels, I hope he will remember the ten years we spent together in Wujiang and return to Wujiang to continue our friendship."

Hahaha~~~

Upon hearing this, Qingxuan burst into laughter, abruptly stood up, and swept the table with his sleeve. The cups, plates, wine, and dishes on the table miraculously disappeared, as if they had never existed.

Qingxuan strode towards the door and laughed, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Ten years of friendship, I'm not the kind of person who's heartless. What's with all this talk about face, seniority, getting old, etc.? It's such a waste of time."

Amidst the echoing laughter, Qingxuan's figure had already vanished.

A while after Qingxuan disappeared, the sighing voice echoed again in the room: "I'm really getting old, senile..."
