Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

"Junior brother!"

Suddenly a voice was heard.

A woman pushed open the door and ran into the yard.

Her snow-white hair fell to her waist, her ice-blue eyes were as gentle as jade, her face was elegant and soft, and she was wearing a white dress with ice patterns, which made her figure look even more graceful.

As soon as she stepped into the yard, she saw a young man meditating on a cushion in the yard. Her eyes lit up instantly and she quickly ran towards him.

The young man was none other than the boy who was brought back to Xuelingxu by the white-haired woman ten years ago.

He has grown up now and has changed a lot from ten years ago.

He had a head of thick black hair casually spread out, an extremely handsome face, a tall and slender figure, and a white robe as white as snow.

After hearing the voice, the young man slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were dark and deep, with a faint sense of oppression.

By the time the woman in white dress came up to him, the divine light in the young man's eyes had quietly disappeared.

He looked up at the woman in the white dress with a smile on his face: "Senior Sister, what happened?"

Xueyue seemed to have learned something incredible. She was shocked and had no time to rest. She gasped and said, "Cang... Master Cangxuan she... she..."

She couldn't say any more before she was halfway through her sentence.

But the young man still understood the meaning of her words, his brows lowered slightly, and he sighed softly: "Is that so?"

In the past ten years, apart from practicing diligently at Aoxue Peak, the young man had only traveled back and forth to three places. One of them was this Youfeng Peak, which was his and his senior sister's secret base. It was an extremely quiet place. Whenever he felt upset and had no intention of practicing, he would go there to soak in the hot springs.

The second is the Qiu Dao Peak, which is the trial site of Xuelingxu and houses several secret realms of heaven and earth, including the Tianjie Secret Realm and the Xueyue Secret Realm.

The third is Tianxuan Peak.

Although the young man is no longer obsessed with finding his lost memories, he still goes to Tianxuan Peak from time to time to visit Master Cangxuan.

As his cultivation improved, the young man could gradually see some things, including that Master Cang Xuan's energy and spirit were being consumed at a terrifying rate every year.

The last time the young man went to Tianxuan Peak to visit Master Cangxuan was half a year ago. At that time, he had already noticed that Master Cangxuan's spirit had become extremely weak.

But Master Cang Xuan didn't care about it at all and just advised him on the direction.

I didn't expect that within a year, Master Cang Xuan would still...

The young man stood up and looked at the senior sister in front of him with gentle eyes: "Senior sister, let's go together."

With such a big event happening, everyone in Xuelingxu, from the peak masters and elders to the disciples, will try their best to put down what they are doing and go to Tianxuan Peak.

This has been the sect rule of Xuelingxu since ancient times.

But after hearing what the young man said, Xueyue looked embarrassed and stood there with no intention of moving.

"Senior Sister?" The young man looked puzzled.

Xueyue hesitated for a moment, but still said softly: "Junior brother, I...I think it's better for you not to go..."

"Ok?"

The young man's thoughts raced, and he soon understood the deep meaning of his sister's words: "Senior sister, are those peak masters and elders also on Tianxuan Peak?"

Although he didn't mention anyone by name, Xueyue knew who he was talking about and nodded quickly: "Yeah!"

The young man smiled bitterly.

Although he had been in Xuelingxu for ten years, he still had not been recognized by the people in Xuelingxu. Except for Senior Sister Xueyue, Senior Sister Gong Yiya, and True Man Cangxuan, he did not have much contact with other people.

The young man simply didn't care about these things. He had been practicing wholeheartedly for the past ten years and had never gone out to cause trouble. Apart from Youfeng, Qiudao Peak and Tianxuan Peak, he rarely even left the small courtyard of Aoxue Peak.

But even so, there are still many peak masters and elders who have strong opinions about him and dislike him very much.

During these ten years, the young man was no longer the ignorant boy. He also knew that his master had accepted him as a disciple against all odds, which violated the ancestral precepts of Xuelingxu for countless years and was an extremely serious and bad incident.

Therefore, he understood these peak masters and elders, and tried not to have any contact with them to avoid making both sides unhappy.

But this time is different.

The young man said to Xueyue sincerely, "Master Cang Xuan and I have a deep connection, I cannot be absent."

Not to mention that his memories were sealed by him personally at the request of Cang Xuan Zhenren, just through the past few years of getting along with her, the young man also had great respect for the gentle old woman in white robe.

In addition, he actually had an uncertain guess in his heart.

According to Senior Sister Gong Yiya, even though Master Cang Xuan has been practicing Taoism for a thousand years, she still has enough life span. It stands to reason that she should have no problem living for a few hundred more years.

In addition, her cultivation has remained at the peak of the ninth realm for hundreds of years. If she wants to ascend, she can do so at any time.

But what is puzzling is that Master Cang Xuan's health has been deteriorating in recent years, and his energy and spirit seem to be being consumed invisibly at an extremely terrifying speed.

But she herself didn't care about it at all and had no intention of looking for a solution, as if she had already accepted this future.

Gong Yiya was extremely anxious about this, but no matter how she tried to ask, Master Cang Xuan never gave her an answer.

However, the young man had a premonition that the abnormal condition of Master Cang Xuan was most likely related to himself.

When the master brought me to Xuelingxu, Master Cangxuan also came back at that time.

Why did the master go against the ancestral teachings and accept me as his disciple against all odds?

What is the connection between Master Cang Xuan and his previous self before he lost his memory?

What role does she play in the master's acceptance of her as a disciple?

There are too many problems here.

Master Cang Xuan refused to say, and the young man also asked his master, but the cold white-haired woman never responded to him, and even had only a few words with him in the past ten years. The two of them said they were master and disciple, but they looked more like strangers.

"Sister, let's go. Even if those peak masters and elders hate me, they won't clash over something like this."

The young man said in a gentle voice.

Chapter 296: Traveling in the World

Tianxuan Peak.

Almost all the elders and disciples in Xuelingxu came to the back mountain. After a brief farewell ceremony for Master Cangxuan, everyone gradually dispersed.

Perhaps it was because of the occasion, what Xueyue was worried about did not happen. Although several peak masters and elders still had bad faces towards the young man, they did not mock him. At most, they looked at him coldly.

When the young man and Xueyue were about to return to Aoxue Peak, they suddenly received a divine message, so they turned around and returned to the waterfall on the back mountain of Tianxuan Peak.

There, a nun had been waiting for a long time.

"Senior Sister Gongyi."

The young man and Xueyue saluted together.

Gong Yiya, who looked much thinner, nodded slightly at the two of them: "You are here."

After practicing Taoism with Master Cang Xuan for ten years, Gong Yiya's aura became more and more mysterious, and even the young man could not figure out her true nature.

The young man asked, "I wonder why Senior Sister called me here?"

Just when he was about to leave Tianxuan Peak, Gong Yiya suddenly sent a telepathic message to call him over.

Gong Yiya stretched out a hand towards the young man, with a crystal clear diamond in his palm.

The young man took the diamond without knowing why, and then he heard her say, "This is what our master left for you, junior brother."

The young man carefully observed the diamond in his hand, but even though he used his mind and spiritual power to test it, he still found nothing.

He looked directly at Gong Yiya and asked, "What is this?"

Gong Yiya looked at the diamond in the young man's hand quietly: "Master said that if you want to know the memories you have forgotten, then crush this diamond."

This diamond is actually related to my memory?

There was a strange flash in the young man's eyes.

"But Master also said that you should be mentally prepared before crushing the diamond."

Gong Yiya recalled the expression on his master's face at that time, and his tone became solemn: "Losing memory is not necessarily a bad thing."

“These are Master’s exact words at the time,” she added.

The young man bowed to Gong Yiya earnestly and said, "I will keep it in mind."

Gong Yiya smiled softly upon seeing this: "There is no need to be so serious. Whether the memory is restored or not is up to you, Junior Brother."

She waved her hand: "I have something else to do, so I won't send you off."

The young man and Xueyue nodded slightly at her, then turned and left Tianxuan Peak.

On the way, Xueyue glanced at the young man from time to time. When she was about to reach Aoxue Peak, she couldn't help but said, "Junior brother, are you really going to crush that diamond?"

The young man looked at Xueyue and asked with a smile: "Senior sister, do you want me to crush it?"

Xueyue blinked her warm ice-blue eyes and then shook her head: "My opinion is not important. It's up to you whether you want to crush it or not."

The young man hesitated for a moment and said softly, "I don't have the idea of ​​crushing the diamond yet."

He didn't know if it was the psychological effect of Master Cang Xuan's last words, or some kind of perception from somewhere, but the young man had a vague feeling that if he crushed the diamond now, some unexpected changes would most likely occur, a result he didn't know if he could accept.

So to be on the safe side, the young man decided to keep the diamond for now.

After hearing the young man's decision, Xueyue felt relieved for some reason. She didn't even know where this feeling came from. She only knew that her junior brother's decision made her very happy.

Her usual cheerful smile appeared on her face again.

Soon, the two returned to Aoxue Peak.

The next morning.

The white-haired woman found the young man, and the first words she said shocked him:

"Today, you will go out into the world and travel."

Entering the secular world and traveling around is something that almost every disciple of Xuelingxu must experience, but the young man did not expect that his entry into the secular world and traveling around would come so soon.

Generally speaking, those who traveled in the secular world were disciples who had practiced in the Snow Spirit Ruins for at least twenty or thirty years.

However, the young man did not ask anything, but just nodded silently.

After examining his recent practice results, the white-haired woman left the courtyard.

As soon as the white-haired woman left, Xueyue appeared.

"Junior brother, did our master come to see you just now?" She ran quickly to the young man.

"Well, just left."

The young man nodded and asked with a smile: "Senior Sister, have you seen Master?"

Xueyue looked embarrassed when she heard this: "I saw it, but I didn't go up to say hello."

Then she looked at the young man with eyes full of curiosity: "What did the master tell you?"

The young man did not hide anything and told the truth: "Master said that I can leave Xuelingxu today and travel in the world."

Xueyue's eyes suddenly widened, and she asked in disbelief, "Master... Junior Brother, you want to travel the world!?"

Seeing her like this, the young man couldn't help but laugh: "Speaking of which, I am also very interested in the world outside of Xuelingxu."

It has been ten years since he came to Xuelingxu. For the boy who had lost his memory, Xuelingxu was almost everything to him. Although he had heard that the situation in the Northern Territory was chaotic and wars were frequent, he still had a curiosity about the Northern Territory.

Xueyue's face changed slightly: "Junior brother, the Northern Territory is too chaotic now. Not only are the sects and dynasties fighting openly and secretly, but there are also demonic cultivators running rampant. Why don't you stay in the Snow Spirit Ruins to practice for a few more years and wait until your cultivation is higher before going there?"

The young man shook his head gently: "Master's orders cannot be disobeyed."

He looked at the woman in white dress in front of him with gentle eyes. Although ten years have passed, her temperament is still the same as it was ten years ago. If possible, the young man hopes she can always be like this.

A look of sadness appeared on Xueyue's face, and she sighed suddenly: "Alas..."

Seeing Senior Sister like this, the young man couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently ruffle her hair, pretending to be relaxed and said, "Why? Senior Sister, are you afraid that I will leave and have no playmates?"

Normally, if the young man did something like rubbing hair, he would inevitably get hit with a few gentle fists, but Xueyue was no longer in the mood to play, so she just let him do it.

However, Xueyue still snorted softly and retorted: "Your senior sister and I have friends all over Xuelingxu. There are playmates everywhere, so how can we be short of them?"

But after saying this, she whispered again: "It's just that, Junior Brother, you are special..."

The young man didn’t hear clearly: “Senior sister, what did you say?”

"nothing."

Xueyue suddenly turned around and ran out of the yard, leaving only one sentence in the young man's ear: "Junior brother, wait for me here!"
