Chapter 14: Qingyi Becomes the Master
Leaving Qinghe City, Jiang Qingyi and the others flew towards the capital of Zhou Kingdom.
For a Cultivator in the Ascension Realm like the Sect Leader of Ten Thousand Swords Sect, it would only take her three days at most to reach the capital of Zhou Kingdom.
But she did not do so.
This was not because Huang Wei and Qiu Ye's Realmwas only Nascent Soul Realm.
It was simply because there was a hint of apprehension in the heart of this Sect Leader of Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Three thousand years.
She had been searching for three thousand years.
She had received news about him countless times.
But each time, when she thought she was about to find him, the person she saw was not him.
Countless hopes, countless disappointments, had gradually numbed her heart.
This time, it was calculated by the City Lord of Tianji City.
The City Lord of Tianji City's divination ability was the best in the world.
But "calculation" is, after all, "calculation."
No matter how powerful one's divination ability, it is always possible to make a mistake.
And just as the Sect Leader of Ten Thousand Swords Sect's thoughts were complicated, she saw the mountains embracing each other in the front left.
The Sect Leader of Ten Thousand Swords Sect's expression paused slightly, then she flew towards the mountains.
Flying above the mountains, a sea of flowers came into the Sect Leader of Ten Thousand Swords Sect's eyes.
The Sect Leader of Ten Thousand Swords Sect's eyes flickered, and her figure gradually flew down.
Huang Wei and Qiu Ye exchanged glances, not knowing what was wrong with the Sect Leader, and could only follow her down.
The Sect Leader of Ten Thousand Swords Sectarrived at this sea of flowers.
She walked forward step by step.
This place was surrounded by mountains, forming a basin in the middle.
In the center of the sea of flowers was a clear blue lake.
Finally, the Sect Leader of Ten Thousand Swords Sectstopped in front of that lake.
In front of this lake, there was a stone.
Words were carved on the stone.
However, due to the erosion of time, the words on the stone were already blurred, and even the stone itself had weathered beyond recognition.
"Sect Leader, is there anything special about this stone tablet?"
Qiu Ye walked up to the Sect Leader and asked curiously.
"Do you know what this place is called?" The Sect Leader of Ten Thousand Swords Sect raised her eyes, and the clear lake water was reflected in her transparent eyes.
Qiu Ye turned to look at Elder Huang, who shook his head, his eyes seeming to say, "Don't ask me, I don't know what this place is called either."
"This place is called 'Flower Cloud Sea'." The Sect Leader of Ten Thousand Swords Sect told the sword attendant beside her.
"Flower Cloud Sea," Qiu Ye murmured softly, "What a beautiful name. Did you name it, Sect Leader?"
The Sect Leader of Ten Thousand Swords Sect shook her head: "A man named it."
"A man?" Qiu Ye asked, puzzled.
What kind of man could be held in the Sect Leader's heart?
"A man I must kill with my own hands!"
The Sect Leader of Ten Thousand Swords Sect's fair fingers gently stroked the carvings on the stone.
Qiu Ye looked again and again, and from the blurred carvings, Qiu Ye seemed to vaguely discern the character "Xiao."
"Master, it's so beautiful here. It's really beautiful..."
The young girl shouted happily, and her voice echoed through the valley.
In a sea of flowers, Jiang Qingyi darted back and forth like a butterfly.
After a year of being out, it was the first time Jiang Qingyi had seen such a beautiful place.
"Master, come quickly!" Jiang Qingyi shouted loudly to her Master behind her.
"Coming." Xiao Mo walked forward step by step, following behind his Disciple.
"Wow, the lake water is so blue."
Jiang Qingyi walked to the edge of the lake, as if it wasn't a lake, but a piece of the azure sky torn down by some Immortal and spread in the middle of this sea of flowers.
"It is indeed quite blue." Looking at this beautiful scenery, Xiao Mo nodded.
"Master. What do you say about us two living in seclusion here?" Jiang Qingyi turned around with her hands behind her back, looking sweetly at her Master, "This place is surrounded by mountains, and there isn't even a small path leading to the outside world. Blood Butterfly Pavilion definitely won't find us."
"Silly girl." Xiao Mo reached out and gently tapped Jiang Qingyi's head.
Jiang Qingyi let out an "ow" and held her head with both hands: "Master, it hurts. And I'm not silly."
"You said there's no small path to the outside world? Then Master asks you, how did we get in?"
"Of course, we flew in!" Jiang Qingyi said joyfully.
Because Xiao Mo and Jiang Qingyi were being pursued, and the carriage was too slow.
So as early as half a month ago, after they were first discovered by Blood Butterfly Pavilion, they decisively abandoned the carriage.
"You know we flew in, right?" Xiao Mo smiled, "Then you tell me, can't the Cultivators of Blood Butterfly Pavilion fly?"
"..." Jiang Qingyi pouted, "Seriously, that damn Blood Butterfly Pavilion is like a dog's plaster. I still wanted to live in seclusion with Master."
"Alright, we'll leave after a little while longer. Those people from Blood Butterfly Pavilion are probably catching up soon."
"Master, wait, let's name this place, shall we?" Jiang Qingyi said cheerfully.
"What's there to name?"
"Just name it, Master, please name it. This place is so beautiful."
"Alright, alright." Xiao Mo thought for a moment and casually came up with a name, "Then let's call it Flower Cloud Sea."
"Flower Cloud Sea... Mm! It'll be called Flower Cloud Sea!"
With that, Jiang Qingyi drew her Xuanshuang Longjian and carved several large characters on the stone by the lake:
[Flower Cloud Sea — Master Xiao Mo and DiscipleJiang Qingyi visited here.]
After carving, Jiang Qingyi clapped her small hands: "Master, from today onwards, this place will be our secret base! Only the two of us know about it.
I've heard that people Reincarnate after they die.
After Reincarnation, they forget everything.
If one day, I Reincarnate, or Master Reincarnates, and we come to a place like this, we must remember each other!
At that time, I'll still be Master's Disciple."
"Let's just forget it." Xiao Mo shook his head.
"Eh?" Jiang Qingyi grabbed her Master's arm, "Master, why forget it? Doesn't Master want to remember Qingyi?"
"Not at all, I just think being your Master is a bit tiring." Xiao Mo flicked Jiang Qingyi's forehead, "I want to be more relaxed in my next life."
"Oh, is that so? Then it's fine!"
Jiang Qingyi hugged Xiao Mo's arm, resting her head on his shoulder.
"If that day comes, Master, you won't be the Masteranymore. Qingyi will be Master's Master."
"Alright." Xiao Mo rubbed her head, "Then in your next life, Master, you must take good care of me and not let other Senior Brothers bully me."
"Master won't have any other Senior Brothers."
"Why?"
"Because in this life, Master only has me as a Disciple."
Jiang Qingyi's eyes curved into crescents.
"So in the next life, Qingyi will only have Master too."
