Chapter 108: Having a junior brother like you is truly her blessing

A few days later.

"Master, are you going to drive us away?" Xu Ziling looked at the blue-robed youth in surprise.

Kou Zhong hurriedly opened his mouth:

"Please forgive the disciple, Master. The disciple did not intend to use Master's name before."

"As a disciple of my New Jingzhai, having the heart to stand for heaven, it can be considered competent. Why talk about forgiveness?" Zhuang Buran stood sideways, looking at the rushing water of the Chang Jiang:

"Since you have such ambition, then roll into the world. Whether you compete for the world or martial arts, you must also remember to improve your martial arts cultivation by any means necessary."

"If you are not competitive, before the day you become famous throughout the world, the Black Heaven Tribulation will have already tortured you to the point of being worse than death, let alone any blood feud for your mother."

Kou and Xu heard the end and were deeply afraid that it was a test, so they hurriedly bowed:

"The disciples don't dare."

"Look at your timid appearance. If you continue to stay by Master's side, how can you achieve the Grandmaster and reach the Heaven and Man Realm?"

Zhuang Buran sighed:

"I have great expectations for you, just like for the Evil King. I hope that one day, following the style of my lineage, you can pick up the sword and blade in your hands and start the path of killing your master."

The more Kou and Xu listened, the more terrified they became, fearing that this temperamental youth in the blue shirt would dig some kind of pit for them, so they hurriedly bowed:

"The disciples don't dare."

"Xiao Zhong, you have a heart that does not allow others to look down on you, and you hope to be famous throughout the world. And what in the world is more respected and admired than taking the world with a three-foot sword in cloth clothes?"

"The third test I give you is, no matter what method you use, push the current chaotic world for me."

The blue-robed youth said nonchalantly:

"If you can't do it before the age of thirty, then go die. My New Jingzhai sect does not raise waste."

Kou Zhong listened and felt terrified. He naturally understood that this Master of his never liked to joke, and with his unfathomable martial arts, he could absolutely do what he said.

"Ziling, you are a peaceful person with no desires and no demands. This is very good, but since you have joined my sect, life and death are not up to you."

"The Turk you met before wanted to hone himself with the Central Plains martial arts, so you should go in the opposite direction. Within three years, I want to see the heads of Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin."

"If you can't do it, I will take off your head and turn you into a dead person with no desires and no demands."

Xu Ziling listened, his pupils shook, and his hair stood on end.

"As for you." Zhuang Buran turned his head, his gaze falling on Susu: "If they don't pass the third test, you should be an excellent person to collect their corpses."

After saying this, he leaped across the air, actually reaching ten zhang, then stepped on the void, gradually moving away without wetting his feet on the river surface.

On the shore, there was silence for a long time.

"Ziling, what do you think he wants to do?" Kou Zhong looked difficult.

"Appearance like a celestial being, actions like a ghost, machine-like heart with a hundred changes, how can one know." Xu Ziling sighed softly.

Kou Zhong was naturally optimistic and happy, laughing:

"No matter what, we have finally temporarily escaped the days of being cautious and looking at people's faces. This can also be considered a great happy event."

"Then, do you intend to seek pleasure in time, or decide to pass the so-called third test?" Xu Ziling's eyes narrowed.

"Our Master has calculated your and my temperament. Just talking about myself

Kou Zhong's gaze was deep, and he said word by word:

"Added to all the experiences I've had since I was a child, I really don't want to live a life of bowing my head under someone else's roof anymore; only that position of the Son of Heaven can allow me to escape this extremely detestable situation."

Xu Ziling was stunned, but he discovered that his brother, who was like a limb to him, had truly had his temperament and will greatly tempered, and he already had the bearing to face ten thousand troops without fear, and to remain unchanged even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.

Thinking of all the experiences of running around with the youth in the blue shirt, practicing martial arts, suffering tribulations, and fighting on the battlefield, how could he not have changed greatly himself? He wanted to experience more of the world's brilliance instead of dying in obscurity.

Thinking of this, Xu Ziling showed a smile:

"Although I have a detached temperament, I don't want to die so young."

Kou Zhong shouted loudly:

"Good, one life, two brothers; I'll help you, you help me, and we will definitely be able to pass this third test."

"Little Zhong, Little Ling, don't forget your sister; it won't be long before I can master the 'Three Thousand White Hair Feathers,' and after that, I won't hold you back anymore." Susu said with a smile in her eyes.

Immediately, Kou and Xu said with high spirits:

"Hahaha, I believe that the three of us siblings will definitely be able to stand out in this chaotic world and become famous throughout the world."

Three months later.

On the west bank of the Sun Creek at the eastern foot of Phoenix Mountain, north of Jincuan City, a woman whose contours were as clear and distinct as if carved by a knife, and whose lines were as beautiful as if crafted by ghosts and gods, walked familiarly through the deep mountains and old forests.

The forest was deep and lush, and the pools were connected by rushing streams that followed the height of the mountain; the mountain gullies were like layers of steps, with high and low waterfalls cascading and overflowing, and the sound of water was ringing.

She walked for about half a stick of incense's time, and a small stone house appeared before her eyes, with a gravel path extending forward beside the house, winding left and right into the depths of the forest.

Walking into the depths of the forest, there was a quiet and secluded valley.

This woman, who had a pure and refined temperament, a perfect figure, and all the charm and grace, was none other than Shi Qingxuan, who had returned home.

She was stunned on the spot, her beautiful face showing an expression of extreme surprise, for the secluded valley, which should have been filled with towering maple trees, dense forests, and lush greenery, had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The valley had turned into a boundless peach forest, with thousands of peach trees blooming wantonly and ostentatiously, pink, white, and deep red interweaving into a gorgeous sea.

When the wind blew, thousands of petals fell rustlingly, like snow and rain, finally covering the grass and streams gently.

Shi Qingxuan found the general direction and walked into the peach forest, heading toward the few small stone houses where she lived.

It wasn't until the small stone houses came into view that she thought she hadn't gone to the wrong home, but her beautiful, slender eyebrows furrowed slightly; on an exceptionally thick old peach tree, she actually saw a somewhat familiar youth in a blue shirt.

He was lying diagonally on a peach tree branch, with his hands behind his head and one leg bent casually, his posture lazy and comfortable.

"So it's Sect Master Qing; Qingxuan almost thought she had run into a ghost. I haven't been out for long, but I almost couldn't recognize my own home."

Zhuang Buran closed his eyes, a faint smile playing on the corners of his mouth:

"I knew that after Miss Shi finished helping the Evil King, she would definitely return here, so I waited here early."

"Sect Master Qing isn't afraid that you calculated wrong, and that I might not have the 'Dao Heart Planting Demon Art' on me."

"Calculating wrong doesn't matter; for this martial art, I'm just curious, whether I have it or not doesn't matter; I mainly feared that the Evil King wouldn't be able to walk the path of emotion, so I pointed out a shortcut for him."

"Sect Master Qing is so confident in yourself, aren't you afraid that he is stronger than you expected?"

"I'm not confident in myself; I'm confident in the people who practice martial arts in this era; most of them can't escape the word 'emotion,' and those who are not trapped by emotion are either limited by their aptitude or hindered by the righteousness of their country."

The youth in the blue shirt sighed:

"What can be done!"

"It seems Sect Master Qing has calculated correctly again." Shi Qingxuan took a book from her bosom, and with a wave of her fair hand, Zhuang Buran caught the book thrown up.

"He said this secret manual is what Sect Master Qing wants; if you encounter any strong enemy, you can bring out Sect Master Qisha, and in this way, no matter who it is in the world, they will definitely give seventy percent respect."

Shi Qingxuan said softly:

"So, he gave me a copy of this secret manual."

"If I think about it, the Evil King's name should be enough to make some petty villains retreat three houses." The youth in the blue shirt nodded suddenly:

"It seems the Evil King loves his daughter dearly and wants to give Miss Shi more self-protection."

"Alright, it's almost time for a meal; you, the owner, have returned, so why don't you hurry up and cook? Don't tell me you want me, this distinguished guest, to do it myself."

He paused:

"The previous generation's saintess of my Cihang Jingzhai should have been very polite; the daughter she raised definitely wouldn't be ignorant of etiquette."

Shi Qingxuan was silent for a long while before saying:

"Qingxuan can be considered to have some empathy for this generation's Cihang Jingzhai saintess."

"Having a junior brother like you is truly her good fortune."
