The female disciples who had bad intentions towards me started fighting among themselves

"It's so cool!"

Wen Youqing raised his brows slightly in complacency, but quickly suppressed it.

The girl in front of him was the disciple assigned by the sect to introduce matters concerning the Ascension Conference.

Originally, this kind of work should be assigned by each mountain gate, but unfortunately Qingzhu Peak has few people, and Yun Su, who doesn't take care of the matter, only has four people. The disciples washing dishes in other mountain gates have more than the cultivators in Qingzhu Peak.

Taking into account the inherited character of Qingzhu Peak, Tang Jiusheng was quite helpless and had to make preparations in advance. He assigned an experienced disciple to Wen Youqing to guide her in handling the matters of the Ascension Conference.

This is also called cool?

Nothing more.

If you knew that in my previous life I was a witch holding a jade sword and sternly standing before thousands of people, you would be so scared.

Wen Youqing made a playful nasal sound, maintaining his aloof image in the eyes of his junior sister, and nodded slightly.

"Ah."

She was tricked.

The admiration in the junior sister's eyes intensified.

"I thought Senior Sister Luo Li was already pretty cool, but I didn't expect there was another expert. Senior Sister Wen Youqing is not inferior to her at all!"

She said silently in her heart.

Originally, Luo Li was in charge of all the affairs of Qingzhu Peak, but in recent days, Senior Sister Luo Li seemed to have disappeared, while Senior Sister Youqing appeared more and more frequently.

At first, she was a little worried that Senior Sister Youqing would not be able to handle it well.

Because in her eyes, Senior Sister Luo Li was the kind of person who was calculating, smooth, and had great diplomatic skills, while Senior Sister Wen Youqing seemed a little obsessed with cultivation, didn't pay much attention to worldly affairs, and was a little thick-skinned.

This was indeed the case, but surprisingly, she did not dislike Senior Sister Youqing's style, but rather appreciated it more -

She is very protective.

It would be great if Senior Sister Youqing was really my senior sister.

The sect sister shook her head and started thinking about another thing.

Hey, speaking of which, why has Senior Sister Luo Li disappeared recently?

She raised her head, approached Wen Youqing in confusion, and asked softly:

"Senior Sister Youqing, do you know why Senior Sister Luoli has disappeared recently?"

"Oh, Xiaolu... Luoli, she went to Zhongzhou to participate in the weapon refiner competition."

The three words "little green tea" were about to be uttered casually, but fortunately Wen Youqing reacted and quickly changed his words.

Now that we are outside, we should at least give Luo Li some face.

"Eh? The weapon refiner competition?"

The junior sister of the sect nodded and agreed, "Senior Sister Luo Li's weapon refining skills are indeed good. Even the elders of the mountain gate where Qiu Shui refines weapons often come to ask her some questions. I believe that she will become famous in Zhongzhou this time."

"To become famous overnight?"

Wen Youqing had never worried about Luo Li.

In her previous life, she won the championship in today's equipment refining competition and became a hot new star in the equipment refining world.

It was also from this Equipment Refiner Competition that Luo Li took the first step towards becoming famous.

If you can't do something in this life that you were able to do in your previous life, Luo Li, you'd better start over as soon as possible. It's shameful.

Wen Youqing slowly exhaled a breath, her eyelashes trembling, as if something was on her mind.

She did have something on her mind.

"Damn it, where's that old bastard, the ancestor? Why hasn't he come yet? I'm not going to have to wait here until the Ascension Conference is over, am I?!"

"I really want to go back to Master in advance and ask for a hug."

......

......

"Can you take this opportunity?"

In the Taoist boy's hand was placed an exquisite envelope, which was shrouded in a profound spiritual aura and gave off a mysterious feeling, but it was not offensive and seemed extremely gentle.

Jing Yan could tell at a glance that this spiritual energy came from Nanposo Province, and only the guys from the Demon Cult could cultivate such pure and holy demonic energy.

"This is......"

Before he could say anything, Yun Su, who was standing beside him, took the letter from Lingxu Taoist boy and handed it to Jingyan without saying a word.

"Take it. What incredible opportunity can't our little Jingyan take?!"

Yun Su stuffed the envelope into Jingyan's pocket, fearing that he would regret it.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Jing Yan was stunned and asked Yun Su.

Yun Su leaned close to Jing Yan's ear and said, "Stupid, you don't know that this is the millennium ceremony after the Demon Tribe's Pope ascended the throne. Generally, the guests who are qualified to attend are the sect masters or future sect masters!"

She looked at Jingyan.

"The old man means to hand over the future of Qiu Shui to you. If you can accept this opportunity, then the identity of the future leader of Qiu Shui Sect will almost certainly be you. When the time comes, you will become the leader and give me a raise. You will be in charge of the outside affairs while I will be in charge of the inside affairs. I believe that we will be able to live a prosperous life."

"You started discussing how to divide Qiu Shui right in front of me?" Lingxu Taoist's face darkened.

"Hey, we are not strangers. You know my character. You have to trust me!"

Yun Su replied nonchalantly.

"That's why I started to worry, okay!"

"You're really nosy, old man."

She looked at Jing Yan, her lips slightly raised.

"In short, you must accept this invitation. Besides, the Demon Cult is now in full swing, and you should properly establish good relations with them. When you become the leader of Qiushui, you will benefit a lot."

"That's right."

Taoist Lingxu echoed, "Qiu Shui will not take the initiative to get involved in the war between gods and demons, but this kind of thing must be prevented."

He sighed: "Once the war really starts, no sect in Shenzhou will be able to escape and not be involved in this catastrophe."

"Why are you so pessimistic?"

Yun Su patted the little Taoist boy on the shoulder and said, "Look at the bright side. Qiu Shui still has you. At least you can protect Qiu Shui... As for me, forget it. Don't have any expectations for a fox!"

Taoist Lingxu did not reply, his face looked somewhat gloomy.

"Anyway, it's decided. Jingyan, you go to Nanposo Province to attend the Pope's coronation ceremony. I, your master, will stay by your side to protect your safety. Old man, please bear with me and help me suppress the sword domain... With your cultivation level, you should be able to do it, right?"

The little fox arranged everything on his own and said proudly.

"It just so happens that I haven't been out for a walk for a long time!"

"You want to accompany Jingyan?"

Taoist Lingxu shook his head and looked at Yunsu.

"First of all, I've said before that this is an opportunity. It depends on whether Jing Yan can catch it. If he can, you can do whatever you want with the future Qiu Shui. If he can't, then we'll have to find another way."

"Also, it is you who caused this matter in Jianyu. I cannot suppress it for you. You have to stay in Qiushui and never leave."

"What? You stingy guy, what's wrong with helping me suppress it?"

Yun Su complained angrily.

She raised her head and looked at Taoist Lingxu.

Suddenly he was stunned.

At this moment, the light in his eyes became much dimmer, but he still looked at Yun Su with a smile.

Time passes.

The originally young boy has become very old. Although he still looks like a Taoist child, Yun Su can feel that at this moment, the flame of his life is flickering and becoming weaker and weaker.

He smiled and said in a voice that only Yun Su could hear:

"It's not that I don't want to help you."

"I'm about to die, and I really can't help you suppress the sword domain."

One hundred and seventy-three. He comes, he dies

Taoist Lingxu's voice was not loud, and there was not much sadness in his tone.

When you reach a certain age, you will actually become indifferent to life and death.

He has lived for a long time. He was already an old man when Tang Jiusheng was still a child. The naughty child grew up to be the old head of a family. He became even older. No one can escape the passage of time.

Even if one has achieved great accomplishments, one will eventually be defeated by time.

Yun Su was stunned.

Yes, Taoist Lingxu is a human being. Human lifespan is the shortest among all races. Ordinary people can only live for a short sixty years, while the long-lived can barely live for a hundred years.

Even for cultivators, their lifespan will eventually come to an end. Practicing to the Mahayana stage can only extend their lifespan by a thousand years, and they will eventually die.

But for Yun Su, these thousand years were a time that she could squander at will. She could not feel the passage of time, and the rotation of the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, passed in the blink of an eye.

"You...didn't your retreat end?"

Yun Su was silent for a moment and asked.

In her eyes, Taoist Lingxu was just a passer-by, just a junior, and actually had nothing to do with her at all - this was what Yun Su originally thought.

She thought she was used to birth, aging, sickness and death.

But in fact, the little fox overestimated herself. She did not become a person without feelings. The little fox was as sentimental as ever.

Even if it's just a familiar passerby.

She will feel sad too.

The little fox experienced this sadness countless times over a long period of time, but instead of becoming numb, he became even sadder.

"It's not that easy to break through to the Mahayana stage." Taoist Lingxu smiled: "I know where my limit is. Besides, I think I have lived long enough."

"How can there be anyone who is immortal in the whole world? The so-called cultivation of immortality is just about seeking immortality. If one can really achieve immortality through the right path, where does the word 'seeking' come from?"

“Only what you cannot get is called ‘asking’.”

The little Taoist boy seemed to have thought of something and added, "By the way, this sentence does not include you. God knows how long you have lived."

"You may really be immortal in the right way."

he sighed.

Yun Su was silent, so he continued.

"You know, I have never missed anything. The only thing I cannot let go of in this life is Qiu Shui."

"Hundreds of years ago, I thought Tang Jiusheng could take over the responsibility in my hands, so I taught him carefully. He did not disappoint me and became a qualified sect leader who could maintain the status quo. But now the times have changed, and the chaotic times are about to begin. The world has changed and I can't understand it. A sect leader who maintains the status quo cannot keep the sect safe in the chaotic times. Qiushui needs a sect leader who is determined to make progress."

The little Taoist said:

"At first, I was confused and had no one to choose from, until I found Jing Yan and discovered that he was so much like me when I was a kid, fearless and fearless. It was as if I saw myself in the past - and his talent was even higher than mine."

“So I believe him.”

Taoist Lingxu took a deep breath and said, "I want to entrust Qiushui's future to him. This trip to Nanposuo Province is a test. It is different from the previous small fights. He should see what the real world looks like."

"Besides, while I'm still alive and have my dignity, I can still help him solve any problems. I may not have this opportunity in the future."

"I know your character. If you go with him, everything will be messed up. So, please."

Taoist Lingxu looked at Yunsu and said sincerely:

“That’s the purpose of my trip.”

"Qiu Shui's future is neither yours nor mine. It belongs to the younger generation and Jing Yan..."

"I beg you."
