They are the women standing behind me.

In fact, the reason is easy to guess.

"I've also met Qin Xingyuan."

Xu Xingwei whispered in a complex tone, "He is truly an unprecedented figure, extremely powerful. I never imagined that Chen Changyun, a peerless genius with a natural swordsmanship, who acts like a madman, would be completely powerless against him."

As a descendant of Xu Chengdao's bloodline, she can communicate with the Zhentian Immortal Sword and the other six sect-guarding swords.

She naturally knew that the Zhentian Immortal Sword had existed for millions of years and possessed extremely terrifying spirituality, and not everyone could control and use it.

Even as a descendant of the ancestor, she couldn't do it.

Because the Zhentian Immortal Sword looked down on her, it would rather continue to protect the sect than choose a master, allowing her to use it.

"Oh."

"..."

Xu Xingwei was not surprised at all to find that the Zhentian Immortal Sword was powerless to fight back against Chen Changyun and Qin Xingyuan.

Then she sighed with her eyes drooping, and said with some self-blame and guilt, "It's my fault for being too talkative. If I had kept it in my heart, how could it have come to this?"

"Why regret?"

The Heavenly Immortal Sword's voice echoed, "Although the path to immortality is long, there is truly no time for regret. You should always look forward and strive to keep going. After all, you are not a sharp weapon like me. If you don't keep going, you will turn into a handful of yellow earth."

"How does Qin Xingyuan... compare to my ancestors in the past?" Xu Xingwei asked, "Can you... tell me?"

"I don't know."

The Celestial Sword communicated with her, seemingly trying to change the subject. "But seeing that he didn't retreat from me and showed no fear before, I knew I couldn't win this battle."

"Why?"

"He has no fear of me."

The Heavenly Suppressing Immortal Sword seemed to be communicating with her mentally. "No matter how vast and terrifying my power is, it can't even frighten his Dao heart. It can even cause the slightest turmoil. This man is truly fearless. Throughout history, not many people have truly possessed such courage."

"So you..."

"It's not because of that, but I've never seen anyone as strange as him."

The Heavenly Sword's voice was very low. "It's not a question of whether he's crazy or not. He really is that kind of person, that kind of person who is very rare..."

"Well?"

"Anyway, being with him will definitely be exciting and dangerous."

The Heavenly Sword was so excited that even its scabbard was trembling. "I've been in the sect for a million years. Can you bear to leave you, Xingwei, alone for such a long time?"

She thought about it and said empathetically that if she were to stay in the Sword Sect for a million years, she would probably go completely crazy.

"I even still want to point my finger at the world, to conquer everywhere. Even if it means destruction, it doesn't matter. Fight, fight, fight everywhere! That's what I want!"

Xu Xingwei sensed a hint of desire and a fierce fighting spirit from the excitement of the Heavenly Sword. "The sword points to heaven and earth! The sword points to the world! The sword points to all enemies! There is no retreat, life or death! Xingwei, you will never understand what this feels like!"

Xu Xingwei looked at the Zhentian Immortal Sword in surprise, and thought about it carefully. With Qin Xingyuan's temper, he might really be surrounded by enemies all over the world in the future, and he would be dead if he couldn't defeat others.

Then Xu Xingwei asked more carefully, "If my ancestor, who was in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, fought against him now, who do you think would win?"

What surprised her was that the Heavenly Immortal Sword seemed to be completely silent after her question, and there was no sound anymore.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally started communicating with her again. "Xingwei, I really can't answer everything. How can we compare after a million years?"

Xu Xingwei was shocked and couldn't believe it.

The Immortal Sword of Heaven doesn't even dare to say who has a greater chance of winning?

This!

Xu Xingwei suppressed the turmoil in her heart and asked with some difficulty, "Since you became spiritual until now, in the millions of years, have you ever seen anyone who can compare to Qin Xingyuan?"

The Heavenly Immortal Sword communicated with her, "Xingwei, I really don't pay much attention to this kind of thing, so I really can't answer."

Xu Xingwei opened her eyes wide, her face pale and she remained silent.

The Immortal Sword of Heaven was first used as the Sword of the Sect after it followed her ancestor throughout the Changsheng Realm. It has seen and even killed countless geniuses and powerful people.

It has really seen the entire world of immortality and...

And her ancestors'!

The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it felt. However, she no longer wanted to ask this question. Instead, she asked, "Do you think our sect can still resolve the conflict... between us and Qin Xingyuan?"

"Xingwei, if you think you can, you won't ask."

The Celestial Immortal Sword said calmly, "But if you become his wife, he will not do anything too extreme to your family's sect for your sake, right?"

Xu Xingwei was stunned.

"So, Xingwei, don't hesitate or get tangled up. Come on, untie the chains. I'll take you with me to find him!"

The Celestial Immortal Sword urged her confidently, "We must endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens for the Sword Sect! Xingwei, this is for the Sword Sect!"

……

Chapter 43? Qin Xingyuan: I'm completely dumbfounded

……

Qin Xingyuan's daily life remained relatively unchanged. He continued to study alchemy, formations, destiny techniques, weapon forging, stargazing, feng shui, and so on, practicing and sparring with Senior Sister Gu every day...

It's really busy and fulfilling.

After the sect elder who taught him Feng Shui today left, Qin Xingyuan was carefully recalling his memories when he heard Gu Yirou's pleasant and melodious voice, "Junior Brother Qin, Xu Yuanqing from the Taixu Ancient Sect is here."

Qin Xingyuan turned around and saw Gu Yirou and Xu Yuanqing. He said, "Senior Sister Gu."

Then he laughed and said, "Friend Xu, long time no see!"

"Friend Daoist Qin, long time no see."

Xu Yuanqing raised his hands and clasped them together.

Gu Yirou immediately smiled and said, "Xu Xiaoyou, please sit wherever you want. I won't disturb you."

Xu Yuanqing always felt that Gu Yirou was very... pleased with him.

He really felt like he and Qin Xingyuan were classmates, and Qin Xingyuan's classmate came to play with the lonely Qin Xingyuan. It turned out that her junior brother still had friends to hang out with, instead of having no friends at all.

"Fellow Daoist Qin is truly amazing."

After Gu Yirou left, Xu Yuanqing said in admiration, "But after meeting Fellow Daoist Qin and Chen Changyun, I, Xu, finally understood. The sect is truly too small, and the outside world is truly too vast. It's like the difference between a small pond and the vast ocean. Forget about being the king of the sect, even if you dominate the same realm in the extreme south, what can you do? This world is so vast, it's not just the extreme south."

"Friend Xu..."

"Actually, when I first met Fellow Daoist Qin, his arrogant words really angered me, and I felt looked down upon. But when I saw that Chen Changyun, who was born with a sword heart, was also vulnerable, I suddenly realized that Fellow Daoist Qin was only telling the truth, and it was just that I, Xu, was too narrow-minded and superficial."

Xu Yuanqing said sternly, "Fellow Daoist Qin, I did lose to you, but my heart is not defeated, and I won't give up my future. If I keep going, perhaps I will be able to defeat you one day. Cultivating immortals is to go against the will of heaven, and one must constantly compete for the great way. Besides, I am also a proud and proud genius. Fellow Daoist Qin, when you and I reach the Nascent Soul Realm, we will wait for another battle. So if you want to keep going, I will keep going too. We both have to keep going."

After hearing this, Qin Xingyuan really understood a little. Xu Yuanqing probably came to say goodbye to him?

"Is Fellow Daoist Xu going back to the sect to go into seclusion?" Qin Xingyuan asked curiously.

Xu Yuanqing shook his head. "I plan to return to the sect and find a Taoist partner to give birth to my bloodline. Then, I will leave the sect with my Taoist partner to travel and gain experience. After all, I want to catch up with Fellow Daoist Qin. To do so, I need to experience great tribulations, great storms, and great waves, and to be in a life-or-death situation to hone myself. Only then can I make rapid progress. No matter what, the sect is too comfortable after all. There is no pressure, and there is a lack of great adventures and great experience."

"Return to the sect... find a Taoist partner to give birth to bloodline... and then leave the sect?" Qin Xingyuan asked in surprise.

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Qin doesn't know?"

Xu Yuanqing was surprised. "Do you think you can leave the sect and travel to gain experience just by telling them? It's not that simple or easy at all."

To be honest, Qin Xingyuan really thought so.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I'm not just talking nonsense. If a cultivator from any faction wants to leave the sect, first, he must give birth to a bloodline and hand it over to the sect for cultivation. Second, he must work for the sect, such as helping the sect cultivate natural resources for many years, guiding mortals who have just joined the sect, managing the sect's industries, etc...."

Xu Yuanqing said succinctly, "Because you're leaving the sect to train, you might not be able to return alive. But now the sect is always paying for you, so before you decide to leave, you must also pay for the sect and make some contributions before you leave. Even geniuses are no exception. If a genius who is valued by the sect does not take the lead in abiding by the rules, then... I don't need to explain the consequences, right?"

Qin Xingyuan was stunned.

It turns out that leaving the sect to travel and gain experience is not a trip that can be carried out at any time?

Then he came back to his senses and said with a smile, "If Daoist Xu finds a Daoist partner and marries him, I, Qin, will definitely go with generous gifts to congratulate him and share in his joy."

"Since Fellow Daoist Qin has said so, I will definitely come to your house in person to deliver the invitation."

Xu Yuanqing nodded slightly, "I also wish that Fellow Daoist Qin can find his ideal Daoist companion soon. Having a Daoist companion is a good thing. When you travel and gain experience, if you really encounter problems, you will always have someone reliable to consult with. As the saying goes, one person's shortcomings are better than two people's. Moreover, entering the cave of an important person has its own dangers. A Daoist companion will not stab you in the back, etc. A Daoist companion is a trustworthy helper and so on."

After saying this, Xu Yuanqing half-jokingly and half-seriously suggested, "If Fellow Daoist Qin is looking for a Daoist partner, how about I introduce you to my Zongtian's darling daughter? She's definitely no less talented or beautiful than your Senior Sister Gu."

Qin Xingyuan didn't know whether Gu Yirou was eavesdropping, so he said righteously, "Friend Xu, don't talk nonsense. There are few women in this world who can compare to my Senior Sister Gu. My Senior Sister Gu is a woman who only exists in heaven and is rarely seen in the world."

"Uh……"

Xu Yuanqing was stunned and blurted out, "So, in Fellow Daoist Qin's heart, your senior sister is so good?"

"That is!"

Qin Xingyuan said, "Friend Xu, my Senior Sister Gu is..."

He kept talking.

After listening to Gu Yirou, Xu Yuanqing felt that she was truly a fairy from heaven, a rare and outstanding woman in ancient and modern times, with beauty and wisdom, talent and elegance.

Perfect and stunning, both ancient and modern.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Yuanqing felt dizzy even after he walked out the door. He felt that Qin Xingyuan was exaggerating...

That’s too much!

He got goosebumps when he recalled the memory, but he didn't expect Qin Xingyuan to be able to say it out loud?

"Young Master Xu, are you leaving? Why don't you stay a little longer? Could it be that my Junior Brother Qin has done something wrong again? If he did something wrong, as his dear Senior Sister, I will teach him a lesson."

When Xu Yuanqing heard Gu Yirou's sweet and sweet voice, which was a little cheerful, he looked in the direction of the voice and found that Gu Yirou was smiling widely, like a beautiful flower in full bloom. It seemed that she was in a very happy mood, as cheerful as a person who is in high spirits when something good happens.

"Senior Gu, Fellow Daoist Qin didn't do anything, but I have to go back and practice as soon as possible."

After saying this, Xu Yuanqing left in a hurry.

Gu Yirou watched him go away before walking into the house. Looking at Qin Xingyuan who was already reading, she said in a gentle and sweet voice with a hint of joy, "Junior Brother Qin, I have something to tell you."

"Oh?"

"The sect has allowed Junior Brother Qin to attend Junior Brother Shen's ancestor's birthday celebration."

"Junior brother, I have always believed that with Senior Sister Gu's help, it will definitely be possible. There won't be any problems."

Qin Xingyuan praised with admiration: "Senior Sister Gu is truly a magical woman who makes the impossible possible."

"Junior Brother Qin, don't talk nonsense."

Gu Yirou smiled and glared at him. Qin Xingyuan then asked, "But Senior Sister Gu, should we ask Senior Sister Ye and Elder Mei if they want to go?"

He and Gu Yirou would definitely go, but it would not be appropriate if they didn't even ask Ye Yunmei and Mei Xueshuang.

I asked them, and they said they didn't want to go. It's their business.

But if you don't ask, it seems like you don't take them seriously enough.

Gu Yirou was also thoughtful.

"Senior Sister Gu, let's ask. If they don't want to go, we don't have to force them. But if they do go, it will be convenient for them to say hello to their other friends in the sect and tell them that they are going on a short trip. That way, they won't look for them while they are away from the sect. Whether it's Senior Sister Ye or Elder Mei, they must have some friends, right?"

Qin Xingyuan smiled. He knew very well that Ye Yunmei must have more than just Gu Yirou as her good friend. Even if she really only had this one good friend, could she not have other friends?

"That's true, I should ask."

Gu Yirou reminded him, "But forget about Yunmei. Junior Brother Qin, Elder Mei has no friends, so remember, never ask Elder Mei if he has friends in the future. Otherwise, you'll be bringing up something irrelevant and deliberately embarrassing him."

"what?"

Qin Xingyuan asked with a somewhat unnatural expression, "Elder Mei, do you have no friends?"

Gu Yirou nodded and said, "Elder Mei only has a few close friends of the same sex in the sect. They're just acquaintances. They'll talk a little when they meet, but they don't keep in touch privately or have get-togethers. Elder Mei doesn't really like socializing."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xingyuan confirmed in disbelief, "Elder Mei doesn't actually have... the senior brothers and sisters he often interacts with?"

Gu Yirou said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Junior Brother Qin, I'm not exaggerating. It's true that even now we can be considered to be dealing with Elder Mei frequently."
