They are the women standing behind me.

Qin Xingyuan said, "And if you work hard to forge your own path and have your own path, then I will give you the reward you want."

Su Yaoqing seemed very happy and smiled brightly.

"I am leaving."

After Qin Xingyuan finished speaking, he turned and left, closing the door. Su Yaoqing, who was sitting in the wooden barrel, stared at the closed door in a daze.

Although she had already decided to follow him, she found it difficult to explain what she felt in her heart when she saw him come to say goodbye like this and watched him leave.

It’s really hard to explain.

It was as if all her emotions came together. She thought that if one day she really left on her own initiative, she would feel sad and uncomfortable.

Then she raised her head and looked at the ceiling in a trance. Qin Xingyuan had already returned to the courtyard where he lived. He was looking at Mei Xueshuang, who was wearing a beautiful robe and looked cold, noble and elegant.

There was a rather noticeable blush on her face.

The two people hugged each other gently, said a few words, and then separated. Qin Xingyuan raised his right hand again, carefully and gently stroked Mei Xueshuang's beautiful cheek that seemed as fragile as a blow.

"Since you are leaving, you should be decisive."

Mei Xueshuang took the initiative and said with her red lips: "Otherwise, we will naturally start dual cultivation again, and you will have to wait a while longer."

After she said this, she took the initiative to step forward and kissed Qin Xingyuan on the lips. The two of them embraced and kissed each other, seemingly inseparable. After they separated, an unknown amount of time passed. Qin Xingyuan slowly backed away and disappeared at the door.

Mei Xueshuang stood there quietly. After a long time, she came to her senses, went upstairs, and sat down beside the bed. An expression of reluctance appeared on her cold face.

Soon, she heard the sound of high heels on the stairs. She turned around and saw Su Yaoqing coming in a loose robe.

"Are you leaving too?" Mei Xueshuang asked coldly.

"Alas, after all, I am not a woman who can withstand such a huge temptation."

Su Yaoqing shamelessly said, "And if Elder Mei wasn't by his side, I would have a chance. This is a big surprise Elder Mei gave me that touched me so much. How could I, Su Yaoqing, be such a loser that I let Elder Mei down? Elder Mei, when I return, you and I will be good sisters from the same roots. Then we can join forces to fight Xiao Qin and let him know how powerful we are. Sisters united can break iron!"

After she finished speaking, she raised her right hand and gave a thumbs-up. Then she took out a storage bag, walked over and sat next to Mei Xueshuang, and said, "There are a lot of good things in here that I got, such as the Cicada of Life and Death Together, and a lot of magic..."

Mei Xue Shuang knew in her heart that Su Yaoqing did not intend to give it to Qin Xingyuan personally, so she gave it to Qin Xingyuan through her.

She understood that if Su Yaoqing gave it directly to Qin Xingyuan, he would definitely not want it.

……

Chapter 597: Surprised or unexpected?

……

After Qin Xingyuan left the sect, he went to the Sword Sect and learned that Xu Xingwei had not yet come out of seclusion. He sat in the Sword Sect for a while and then planned to leave.

Then, Zhan Jingzhong, who was at the early stage of the Tribulation Realm, said, "My dear Qin, I will temporarily lend you the remaining three sect-guarding swords, and another three million swords."

With the Sword Sect's background, three million swords were nothing at all. Even if they lent him thirty million swords, the Sword Sect could afford it. However, he did not expect that the Sword Sect would be willing to lend him the remaining three sect-guarding swords.

"Given your relationship with Xingwei, you are also the son-in-law of our Sword Sect."

Zhan Jingzhong said, "Besides, when he and the other Taishang go to overcome the tribulation, we will definitely need Qin Xiaoyou's help. Only in this way can everyone successfully ascend to the immortal world and become immortals."

Qin Xingyuan nodded.

He had heard Xu Xingwei say that the seven great sect-guarding swords had different focuses.

The Zhentian Immortal Sword is used to suppress, the Peerless Immortal Sword is used to suppress, the Eternal Immortal Sword is used to defend, the Zhandao Immortal Sword is used to kill, and the Pofa Immortal Sword, as the name suggests, is a sword specifically used to break the law. It is extremely powerful to break the law with a sword, emphasizing the word "break". After the Immortal Sword forms a sword formation, the sword formation will not collapse, and no one will die or be injured.

As for the sword formation of the Wenxian Sword, Xu Xingwei personally thinks it is the strongest sword formation. It uses the power of the sword formation to fully stimulate one's own potential and thus improve combat power at no cost.

It's somewhat similar to Senior Sword Emperor's Heaven-piercing Sword Slash, and actually somewhat similar to Senior Sword Maniac's Immortal Descending Sword Formation...

In particular, the seven ancestral swords of the Sword Sect's founder can be combined in various ways, with one sword as the main one and the other six swords as auxiliary ones, or even completely integrated into a huge sword formation.

When Qin Xingyuan heard what Xu Xingwei said, he understood that the seven swords formed a sword formation that was very comprehensive and terrifying, with almost no flaws!

Moreover, because Qin Xingyuan had studied formations in depth with Senior Jianzun, he knew that the founder of the Sword Sect had terrifying attainments in formations.

They can be combined into a whole, separated into separate individuals, and can be perfectly combined in various ways without any conflicts or exclusions. The knowledge involved is extremely profound and mysterious, which is beyond his current understanding.

Therefore, he should not regard it as a sword formation, but as Xu Chengdao's true hard work.

Of course, after obtaining the three ancestral swords of Immortality, Questioning Immortality, and Breaking the Law, Qin Xingyuan also gave a lot of things.

Then he left the Sword Sect, took the elixir to temporarily change his appearance, and left the southernmost region and headed towards the mountains and waters.

With his current strength, his speed of crossing the domain is really very fast.

He had a feeling that the more powerful and terrifying his strength became, the smaller the world of immortality would become.

When he arrived at the mountain and water area, Qin Xingyuan found that no matter where he was, the mountains and waters were like paintings, extremely fascinating, and people were reluctant to leave.

At this moment, Qin Xingyuan suddenly sensed something. He turned his head suddenly and found a young man standing in the void not far away, looking at him in surprise.

Qin Xingyuan recognized this person.

Dugu wins!

Back then, in the cave of the first generation of the invincible one in the Thousand Tribulations Realm, he had fought with Dugu Sheng, but Dugu Sheng was injured at the time and could not exert his full combat strength.

Moreover, Dugu Sheng was recognized as the best person in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm in the Shanshui area at that time.

He is a man who dominates a vast domain and has no rivals in the same realm. His strength is extremely powerful and terrifying. He is the peerless genius among peerless geniuses.

"Is it...Fellow Daoist Qin?"

Dugu Sheng asked not very sure. Although the appearance was different, he had faced Qin Xingyuan face to face before, and he felt a vague sense of familiarity when he saw him.

He will never forget Qin Xingyuan!

Qin Xingyuan smiled and said, "Daoist Dugu, long time no see!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Sheng's expression changed drastically, a look of disbelief on his face. However, he quickly came over and landed in front of Qin Xingyuan, raising his hands and clasping his fists. "Fellow Daoist Qin, it's been a very long time since we parted at the first generation of the Peerless Invincible Cave Abode. I've already reached the late stage of the Spirit Severing Realm. It's indeed been a long time since we last met."

He felt very complicated.

Back then, in the first generation of the invincible cave, he could really fight with Qin Xingyuan. But now, Qin Xingyuan, who was able to suppress the power of controlling the laws and had an unparalleled appearance, was likely to be able to blast him into pieces with just a light tap of his finger.

His defeat that year was an eternal defeat. Even if Qin Xingyuan gave him time to catch up and work hard, he would never be able to win it back in this life.

Now the gap is so huge that he feels desperate.

But he was really surprised that Qin Xingyuan still remembered him.

Qin Xingyuan took the initiative to speak: "Fellow Daoist Dugu, since we have met, it must be fate. Why don't we find a place to get together?"

He had never been to the Shanshui Region, but Dugu Sheng was a native cultivator of the Shanshui Region. He planned to learn more about the Shanshui Region from him.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I already have an appointment."

Dugu Sheng said awkwardly, "I'm going to talk to Senior Xiao's son, Xiao Qingyuan, about something."

"Senior Xiao?"

Qin Xingyuan asked, "Could it be Xiao Huaixin, the Grand Elder of Hongchen Valley who is in the early stage of the Tribulation Realm?"

Hearing this, Dugu Sheng was rather surprised and asked, "Fellow Daoist Qin, have you heard of Senior Xiao's name? Do you know of his existence? Could it be that Fellow Daoist Qin is here to attend Senior Xiao's founding ceremony?"

The first shocking thought that popped up in his mind was, could it be that Qin Xingyuan was here to seek revenge?

Qin Xingyuan frowned and asked, "Fellow Daoist Dugu, has this Xiao Taishang come out to establish a sect?"

"Ah."

Dugu Sheng nodded.

It was also because Qin Xingyuan had heard what his senior brother Gui Yiling said before, and he knew that the purpose of establishing a sect was to gather the power of faith into oneself so that he could become stronger.

In particular, the power of faith is absolutely powerful, otherwise it would not be possible for anyone with ability and strength to establish a sect from ancient times to the present.

Even the invincible one is no exception.

If Qin Xingyuan didn't truly feel that the power of faith could not always be relied upon, he would have founded his own sect, used the title of founder, and passed down his own Taoist tradition. But in reality, it was the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect behind him that helped him manage it, allowing it to continue to grow and develop, making the power of faith even stronger.

After all, this not only allows him to gather the power of faith, but also gives the sect another vassal force, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

He estimated that Xiao Huaixin would only do something similar and it was impossible for him to really manage the sect he founded.

How could a sect's leader have so much free time to play the game of developing the sect?

"Fellow Daoist Dugu, if it's convenient, why don't you let me go too?"

Qin Xingyuan took the initiative to suggest: "Knowing one more fellow Taoist, having more friends, always means having more paths to take."

Although he didn't plan to challenge Xiao Huaixin right now, he still planned to meet him - if he could meet his son, then it would definitely be easy to meet Xiao Huaixin, his father.

If there really is a peerless beauty, he might be able to sense it.

"I won't hide it from Fellow Daoist Qin. I actually have some conflicts with Senior Xiao's son, Xiao Qingyuan. So I plan to arrange a private meeting with him first to try to resolve this conflict, even if it's just on the surface."

Dugu Sheng said, "Otherwise, if I really go with the elders to attend the opening ceremony, and we meet, it would not be good if there is any unpleasantness due to previous conflicts during Senior Xiao's grand opening ceremony."

Qin Xingyuan was not surprised that Dugu Sheng had conflicts with others.

Who in this world doesn’t have a few people who dislike each other?

No matter how versatile and good at networking you are, how can you possibly get along well with everyone you meet?

Of course Qin Xingyuan didn't ask anything.

"So after I resolve this matter, I will contact Fellow Daoist Qin to get together. When the founding ceremony is approaching, Fellow Daoist Qin will go with me and the elders of my sect to the Wanxin Sect founded by Senior Xiao."

Dugu Sheng opened up, "Of course, the conflict between Xiao Qingyuan and I isn't that big. We fought for the top spot in the Mountain Water Region back then, and he lost to me. We're of the same generation and have been in the same realm for almost our entire lives, and he kept losing to me, time and time again. But it was just a game of chess, and losing too many times would make you angry and unhappy. Of course, it wasn't just that. We'd also had head-on confrontations over treasures, auctions, and so on. But as long as I took the initiative and expressed my desire to resolve it, I think the problem wouldn't be a big deal. After all, our roots are in the Mountain Water Region, and we'd see each other again..."

Qin Xingyuan said it was no problem.

"Then, Fellow Daoist Qin, I'll see you later."

Dugu Sheng raised his hands and clasped his fists before leaving. Qin Xingyuan stretched lazily, and suddenly heard Su Yaoqing's deliberately coquettish voice, which gave people goosebumps, "Xiao Qin."

Hearing this familiar voice, he immediately turned around and saw Su Yaoqing wearing a loose robe. She raised her right hand and waved it while smiling. She asked jokingly, "Tell me honestly, are you surprised or not?"

"I was surprised, but not happy."

"Ah? No way? I must have heard wrongly. You don't even feel happy when you see a beauty like me? Are you no longer interested in women?"

Su Yaoqing was shocked and said, "Are you really only interested in rough men like He Chaoge? Xiao Qin, please let me check it out quickly. Otherwise, if you don't feel anything when facing me, Xiao Qin won't be able to be so eager to fight and murderous. How can I be a real woman in the future? Will I have to be a widow for the rest of my life?"

Qin Xingyuan frowned and asked, "Why are you following me?"

"I'm worried that you'll be lonely and bored, and I'm also worried about you being alone!"

Su Yaoqing finished her giggle and waved her hands, saying, "It was just a joke. That's because I have a big thing to do, and I haven't done it yet. How can I leave?"

"Well?"

"I want you to truly like me, to fall in love with me, to want you to just hug me and say sweet nothings to me every day. Otherwise, how can I know what a real man is? How can I appreciate the unprecedented strengths and grace of others? How can I know what it feels like to have the Dao and even the Dao heart penetrated?"

"..."

……

Chapter 598: Losing is never scary

……

the other side.

Dugu Sheng came to a city where immortals were cultivated and entered a private room in a restaurant that looked grand and upscale. After waiting for half an hour, he saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman coming.

The man was Xiao Qingyuan, and the woman was not his Taoist partner, but Xiao Qingyuan's sister, Xiao Fengwu.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, Fairy Xiao."

Dugu Sheng stood up, raised his hands and clasped them together. A smile appeared on Xiao Fengwu's beautiful face, "Daoyou Dugu, long time no see."

Xiao Qingyuan snorted coldly.

He naturally felt uncomfortable looking at Dugu Sheng. Back then, when he was in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm and the number one person in the same realm in the domain, he lost. After that, every time he challenged Dugu Sheng, he lost...

He competed with Dugu Sheng for treasure and lost as well...

He always loses anyway.

He sat down and asked in a less-than-friendly manner, "I wonder what Daoist Dugu wants to talk to me about?"

Xiao Fengwu glared at him and transmitted her voice, "Brother, my father asked me to come with you to meet Fellow Daoist Dugu. He's willing to take the initiative to resolve our conflict and make amends with you, but he's worried that your temper might ruin things. Regardless, having a friend is always a good thing, especially since Fellow Daoist Dugu is truly formidable. Back then, he was the number one person in the early stage of the Divine Transformation Realm in our Shanshui Water Region."

No one knows a son better than his father. Xiao Huaixin certainly knows Xiao Qingyuan's character very well.
