Chapter 128: Well, this kid has been brainwashed into stupidity since childhood

"Alright, stop fussing. I have other matters to attend to tonight, so you should all head back."

Jiang Xun looked at the women and smiled helplessly.

He definitely had to see Qin Miaoyin tonight.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

"Alright then, since Senior Brother still has things to do, I'll head back first."

Tu Qing nodded and said.

Gu Qing also left obediently.

"What business do you have?" Yin Ningyu asked, looking at Jiang Xun.

"The cultivation method I used to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage wasn't from the Lingerie-Sect; it was the method from Jun Tianling that I obtained from the Void Sect. It doesn't allow for Dual Cultivation, so I need to stabilize it."

Jiang Xun smiled: "Don't you also need to stabilize your Spirit Energy?"

"That's true." Yin Ningyu nodded. In any case, she had to be the first person to devour Jiang Xun now that he had returned to his youth!

Moreover, Jiang Xun lived right next door, so if there were any real commotion, Yin Ningyu would know immediately.

"Alright then, I'll head back first. Remember to take a bath; you look handsome, but you actually smell like stinky sweat." Yin Ningyu looked at Jiang Xun and smiled.

"You're one to talk, aren't you the same?" Jiang Xun laughed.

"Mine is the scent of Longkui Flower; I just need to change my clothes!" Yin Ningyu retorted, unconvinced.

How could he call a girl stinky? This guy, Jiang Xun.

Having said that, Yin Ningyu turned and left Jiang Xun's small cabin.

Come to think of it, Yin Ningyu's favorability was already at 100, yet Jiang Xun still hadn't figured out where the surprise was...

Was this surprise hidden too deep?

After watching Yin Ningyu leave, Jiang Xun picked up the Ziwei soft sword from the lounge chair. Although it was only Treasure Grade, it held a different kind of significance.

After all, this was the first and only thing Ruo Lan had ever given to Jiang Xun.

"Grandmaster." Seeing that everyone else had left, Lin Qingwan also ran back quickly.

Looking at Lin Qingwan and then at the Ziwei soft sword in his hand, Jiang Xun pondered for a moment: "Call me Master from now on. I'll give you this Ziwei soft sword as your initiation gift; this was the initiation gift my Master gave me back then."

"This... Master, is this appropriate?"

Lin Qingwan changed her form of address quickly—after all, Gu Qing had already told her—but looking at the Ziwei soft sword in Jiang Xun's hand, she felt a bit embarrassed.

"It's about inheritance. I don't need this soft sword anymore, so I might as well give it to you. You don't have a suitable weapon anyway."

Jiang Xun tossed the Ziwei soft sword to Lin Qingwan.

"Then, thank you, Master!"

Lin Qingwan caught the Ziwei soft sword and said happily.

【Ding, Ziwei soft sword gifted successfully!】

【Obtained: Saint Grade: Ziyun Sword!】

【Ding, Lin Qingwan's favorability increased to: 75!】

【Return multiplier: 750!】

"Does Master want to take a bath? I'll go draw the water for you."

Lin Qingwan asked after putting away the soft sword.

"... Do I really smell that bad?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xun couldn't help but sniff himself. You really couldn't say—he honestly hadn't smelled it himself...

"Master, you've been cultivating for the past few days and have sweated a lot, plus you went through the Heavenly Tribulation, so there must be some odor." Lin Qingwan stuck out her little pink tongue, embarrassed.

"Then go draw the water."

Jiang Xun said helplessly.

"Okay."

Lin Qingwan nodded and ran into the room to boil water.

A moment later, Jiang Xun lay in the bathtub, and Lin Qingwan washed his whole body for him.

Lin Qingwan's eyes lit up as she looked at Jiang Xun's current body.

His whole body was covered in sturdy muscles, but they weren't overly rigid—not to the point of being disgustingly bulky. The single abdominal muscle on his stomach had turned into eight, and his chest, which had previously sagged a bit, was now firm as well.

Lin Qingwan was so tempted she was almost drooling.

She couldn't control herself several times.

But she knew in her heart that no matter what, she wouldn't be the first to have the rejuvenated Jiang Xun; otherwise, Tu Qing and Yin Ningyu would tear her to pieces.

Seeing Lin Qingwan drooling with desire, Jiang Xun also smiled helplessly.

To let Lin Qingwan find some relief, and to find some for himself, he let Lin Qingwan have a feast after he got out of the tub.

As time passed, the sky gradually grew dark.

Jiang Xun sat cross-legged on the bed and, after circulating his energy, entered the Wall Mirror Jade Pendant.

Lin Qingwan, having returned from rinsing her mouth, saw Jiang Xun cultivating again and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder Master is so powerful; he really is cultivating every single moment..."

After cultivating in the Wall Mirror Jade Pendant for a while, Qin Miaoyin entered.

She didn't think much when she saw Jiang Xun's back, but when Jiang Xun turned around, Qin Miaoyin froze in her tracks, her face full of astonishment.

"You... who are you?"

Qin Miaoyin asked, staring dumbfounded at the man in front of her who was absurdly handsome.

"It's me, don't you recognize me?" Jiang Xun smiled as he walked toward Qin Miaoyin.

"Jiang Xun! It really is you!" Qin Miaoyin only dared to confirm it was Jiang Xun after hearing his voice, her face full of disbelief: "So this is what you looked like when you were young? This is too ridiculous, right?"

"Didn't you say it yourself long ago? I was a handsome old man, so of course I'd be even more handsome when I was young." Jiang Xun pulled Qin Miaoyin into his arms and said: "Have you thought it over?"

"..." Qin Miaoyin lay in Jiang Xun's arms, the excitement from just a moment ago having vanished, her tone dejected: "Master and the others have confirmed it; Great Elder Chen and the other two, along with Great Elder Liu and the other two, are all dead."

"So fast? How was it confirmed?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xun gently pushed Qin Miaoyin away, looked into her eyes, and asked.

"The Supreme Elder, who is my Grandmaster, left a trace of divine sense on the Tokens of the Baiyun Sect disciples; if the person corresponding to a Token dies, my Grandmaster will know."

"Moreover, if it weren't for the fact that my Grandmaster and my Master have relatively high cultivation realms, the Baiyun Sect would likely not even be able to make it into the top five of the Ten Great Sects."

"I didn't expect that with a great war imminent, such a thing would actually happen."

"So the situation at the Baiyun Sect is too dangerous right now; I will come to pick you up," Jiang Xun said with a nod.

"The village where I lived was destroyed by those bastards from the Tianwu Sect before I even had memories, and my parents also died at their hands; it was my Master who saved me and raised me to adulthood... I cannot leave the Baiyun Sect at a time like this."

Qin Miaoyin looked at Jiang Xun with her watery, wide eyes, her eye sockets somewhat reddened.

"Then do you not want your own life?" Jiang Xun said upon hearing this: "In this battle, the Baiyun Sect is bound to lose!"

Jiang Xun already knew that the Wushang Pavilion had a connection with the Tianwu Sect, and the Lingerie-Sect intended to join forces with the Tianwu Sect, while the Baiyun Sect had lost so many experts before the battle.

To take a step back, even if the Lingerie-Sect did not join forces with the Tianwu Sect, and even if the Wushang Pavilion had no connection with the Tianwu Sect.

Tianwai Island would not just watch as the Tianwu Sect fell.

This was, from the start, a battle that could not be won.

It was just that the people of the Baiyun Sect were at the center of the vortex and had not realized these things, while Jiang Xun, as a bystander, saw it clearly.

"How can we disciples of the Baiyun Sect be greedy for life and afraid of death? To eliminate demons and defend the Dao is our bounden duty!" Qin Miaoyin shouted with a serious expression.

Well, this child has been brainwashed silly since she was young...
