Chapter 822: Seniors and Juniors.

Gong Yuling couldn't tell the sadness and joy, "I suspected that you took away this tripod at the beginning, and it turned out to be true."
"It's not stealing, it's finding. It was found by me."
"Why didn't you say when I went to Xuantian Sect, is Sui Feng Daoist Li Huayuan you?"
The male cultivator smiled bitterly.
"Back then, I was just a lowly disciple who hadn't yet awakened his potential. If I were to reveal that I possessed this treasure, wouldn't it only bring upon myself a disaster? Although I am indeed Sui Feng Dao Chang, I have no choice but to resort to this for self-defense."
The mind of the female cultivator gradually became clear, but she couldn't understand what he was talking about the ten ancestral monsters. "What do you mean by ancestral monsters? Weren't they suppressed by the Ancestral Dao?"
Only then did Li Zheng describe to the Holy Maiden the countless things he had experienced.
From the moment you obtain the Divine Washing Tripod, you will encounter the Prosperous Fish. Then, you will come across the Huge Peng Bird. Finally, the narrative will continue until the Phoenix. I was about to inquire about the 'Crystal Ice Heart Technique' with her, but an unexpected incident occurred.
男修当即住口，“有人来了，等会儿再说。”
Gong Yuling was shocked and pushed his body to hide behind the pale yellow curtain.
Master Xuan Yi is proficient in the art of transformation and promptly transformed into a tall and elegant red clothing display, standing still here.
The scene in front shocked the holy nun, making her wide-eyed and unable to believe the techniques the cultivator possessed.
The shock brought about by this transformation skill had not yet dissipated when, with a creaking sound, the doors of the hall parted on either side and the sect master, Yaochi, walked straight in.
"Linger, why aren't you concentrating on your studies? What are you doing standing there?"
"Master, disciple was just taking a moment to rest while studying. How did you come here?"
Gong Yaochi did not answer her, just glanced at the hall lightly, and shook off the floating dust in her hand. "You go to the front hall and wait for me, I have something to tell you."
She wanted to tell her own teacher whether she could say it here, after all, she was her strict teacher, and she didn't dare to argue, so she could only listen to her words and walk towards the hall with three steps and turn her head once.
Who is the head of the Yaochi Sect? Seeing my disciple's appearance like this, I know that there must be something fishy going on. Most likely, it confirms my speculation. My precious Heart Monkey will never lie.
After Miyamori Ryouko left, Lady Yongrong, the female cultivator, started talking to herself.
"You little rascal, there's no need to hide. I know you're here. You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me. Come out quickly,"
No one answered, and the female cultivator still refused to leave.
"You have such audacity, even daring to intrude secretly into my Forget-Me-Not Sect. Don't you know the rules within our sect?"
The palace was extremely quiet, as if there really was no one present.
"Hmm, let me tell you a secret today. I heard that you have a sworn brother named Yuan Xiu, and Gong Yuling is actually his biological daughter. So, you should come here less often, and is it appropriate for you, as her uncle, to come to your niece's chamber?"
She finished speaking and walked out.
Before long, the showy red-clothed figure suddenly flashed with golden light and transformed into a mysterious robed cultivator. The male cultivator's eyes nearly popped out in shock from the secret he had just heard, so much so that he almost lost his composure.
Yuan Xiulao brother, Gong Yuling sister, it's a question who they should choose.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Zheng pinched his fingers and recited a spell. Then he pointed outside the window and used the method of transmitting sound over a thousand miles, sending a message to Yuan Xiu.
The general meaning of the letter is:
Senior Yuan Xiu, I am your junior, Li Zheng. I am writing this letter to express my regret. It was too impulsive for me to propose becoming sworn siblings with you. I overestimated myself and dared to climb the social ladder with you. This is truly unreasonable. I am deeply ashamed and have no face to see you, my senior. Therefore, I am informing you through this letter.
Dear ancestor, Li Zheng respectfully.
——————————————————————
Baishan Sword Repair is teaching disciples within the Wanjian Sect, explaining the essence of sword principles. Suddenly, he senses a transmission breaking through the clouds in the sky. With an empty hand movement, he grasps the letter.
The content in the letter made the elegant and valiant swordsman frown. What on earth is my dear younger brother doing? How can he easily dismiss our oath of brotherhood? This is nothing but a silly game.
You must, must confront him in person and ask him clearly, as an elder brother, what have you done wrong to make your younger brother so angry that he even sent out a declaration of ending the friendship.
The disciples in the field were watching their own elders with worried expressions as they listened to him talk about swordsmanship. They thought that something big had happened again, "Elder, is it possible that the demonic cultivators have returned?"
Yuan Xiu smiled bitterly and did not answer the disciples.
The disciples became more impatient, and someone even stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Evil demons are rampant, but the disciples of the Sword Sect are carrying their swords; elders, let us draw our swords!"
The white-robed cultivator waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Sit down, all of you. Look at yourselves, with your current swordsmanship, you would be doomed if you encounter demonic cultivators. Practice your sword diligently!"
The disciples sat down with a gloomy expression.
"Dear brother, where are you now?"
————————————————————————
The pure and virtuous female disciple pretended that nothing had happened and knelt down in front of her own master, "Master, why do you make me kneel? What mistake did I make to make you so angry?"
Yao Chi looked at her daughter, who was even more beautiful than herself, and couldn't help but be filled with memories. The happiest time in her life was the days spent with Yuan Xiu, but it was regrettable that he ultimately betrayed her.
From beginning to end, how simple four words, how few people in the world can do it.
No wonder I am so heartless,I killed that vixen. If I followed my own heart, I would have loved to eat her bite by bite.
"Ling'er, do you know about your own background?"
"Ling'er didn't know at first, but Master, why are you suddenly asking? Ling'er only knows that you once said I am a divine maiden with a human body and a snake tail, given to me by the Immortal Forget Love Sect."
"Do you believe it yourself?"
The female disciple frowned slightly, and she herself did not believe it. Although there were demons in this world, she had never heard of any goddesses. This matter was too unreal and should not be believed.
"Master, disciple also doesn't believe."
Yao Chi softened her heart and gently helped her up, pulling her to her side. "Recently, there was a white-robed cultivator who taught you swordsmanship every day. Do you know who he really is?"
Gong Yuling's face paled with fright, and she hurriedly said, "Master knew about all of this. Disciple thought you were unaware, Disciple was wrong and will never dare to do it again."
"You don't have to be afraid. It was my decision to let him teach you swordsmanship. Aren't you curious why I allowed a man to stay within our sect to teach you?"
"I, the disciple, do not know, but I feel an immediate closeness to him upon first meeting, as if we were kin. Therefore, I have no guarded feelings toward him."
"Good Ling'er, he is your biological father."
