Dual cultivation, advancing in both paths simultaneously, she is indeed a prodigy of the Qingyun Sect, a remarkable figure.
The entire Qingyun Cave Heaven bears traces of her presence.
As a mber of the younger generation, she is exceedingly proud.
In her view, the reason she falls short of Xie Yang and others is simply because she is much younger and practices dual cultivation, neglecting neither path.
Splitting her ti naturally affects the initial progress.
But she believes that one day, she will gather her strength and surpass them.
It is this confidence that makes her so proud.
However, in a battle a few days ago, she was soundly defeated.
The more devastating the loss, the greater the blow to her.
In front of Jiang Ning, Wang Xuan accepted her flying sword, which belonged to her by birthright.
"Thank you!" she expressed her gratitude to Jiang Ning, then added, "This sword is extrely important to , my life-bound flying sword, and I will co with generous gifts to thank Master Jiang soday — I will not let you suffer a loss!"
Hearing Wang Xuan’s words, Jiang Ning’s eyes flickered with a hint of surprise.
Then he said, "You are too kind, Miss."
"My na is Wang Xuan!" Wang Xuan introduced herself proactively.
"Miss Wang Xuan, you are too kind!" replied Jiang Ning.
Wang Xuan took the flying sword and returned to stand behind Han Qiu.
"Farewell, Master Jiang!" The old woman noticed Jiang Ning’s actions and her eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction.
Afterward, she took them away and returned to the ship.
At the sa ti.
Watching their departing figures.
Jiang Ning withdrew his gaze and gently exhaled a breath of impure energy.
"Master Jiang is decisive!" Long Xiaofeng said with a smile.
Jiang Ning smiled as well, his face calm.
But deep within his eyes, a trace of an unusual color flashed.
Returning to the previous mont, he had already foreseen this scene.
After careful consideration, he made his decision.
Especially after seeing that Qingyun Sect’s Han Qiu, he beca even more resolute in his initial decision.
This person is truly one of the Qingyun Cave Heaven’s elder figures.
A person from centuries ago.
Such a figure is beyond his current capability to contend with.
And people like this, in his eyes, value face highly, hence the presence and words an that Han Qiu had already made a decision.
Jiang Ning understood that it was unwise to start a conflict with the Qingyun Sect over these spoils of war.
Currently, in Yang Lake, he is the top official powerhouse.
He cannot deal with Han Qiu, and no one else can rival such an elder from centuries ago.
Even though Ye Zhengqi and Zhong Yue are patrol envoys of a prefecture, they are even less qualified to oppose Han Qiu.
He is already the highest among the official powerhouses here.
Therefore, having a direct conflict with soone like Han Qiu would not only yield no good results but also risk losing face.
So, after just a mont of thought, he made his decision.
As his thoughts flowed.
Jiang Ning secretly clenched his fist.
Eventually!
The Qingyun Sect must give an explanation!!
He loosened his clenched fist again.
"Thank you, Brother Long, for coming to support!"
Upon hearing this, Long Xiaofeng smiled again: "I originally thought Master Jiang, being young and vigorous, might not be able to contain his emotion, but I didn’t expect Master Jiang to be so unhesitant."
Jiang Ning said, "This person is an elder of the Qingyun Sect, a figure from hundreds, if not a thousand years ago. Since she has spoken, what can I do!"
Long Xiaofeng glanced at the building ship where the Qingyun Sect resided with a faint expression.
Words ca to his lips but he held them back.
He knew that at this distance, no matter what he said, that so-called Qingyun elder could hear the conversation here.
Even though he has an uncle ranked among the world’s top, he dare not be too reckless.
What’s distant cannot quench present thirst.
If he spoke too offensively, and that Qingyun elder made a move, he would also lose face.
For a mont, the few people fell silent.
"Brother Jiang, farewell; I’ll visit again soday!" Long Xiaofeng turned to Jiang Ning, bowing slightly.
"Alright!" Jiang Ning nodded: "When Brother Long visits, I’ll invite you for a drink!"
"It’s a promise!" Long Xiaofeng smiled.
Jiang Ning also smiled: "It’s a promise!"
In the next mont,
Long Xiaofeng turned around and jumped off the deck, leaping onto a small boat below.
Long Xingyun hurriedly expressed gratitude to Jiang Ning: "Master Jiang, thank you as well for the previous matter! Rest assured, if Master Jiang needs anything in the future, just say the word; I’ll face mountains of blades and seas of fire without fear!"
Leaving behind his promise, Long Xingyun also followed.
A mont later.
A small boat sailed swiftly out from the blind spot beneath the building ship.
On the small boat were Long Xiaofeng and Long Xingyun.
Watching their departure, Jiang Ning retracted his gaze.
"I’ve always heard that Long Xiaofeng has an arrogant personality and is difficult to interact with. Now that I see him, the rumors seem sowhat off!" Zhong Yue shook his head, feeling quite sentintal.
Sun Yuancheng said, "The rumors are true!"
"Have you dealt with this person before, Brother Yuancheng?" Zhong Yue glanced at Sun Yuancheng.
"I’ve dealt with him!" Sun Yuancheng nodded.
"Then it’s seeing people for who they really are!" Zhong Yue said.
Sun Yuancheng nodded in agreent, he looked at Jiang Ning and secretly took a deep breath, feeling sowhat stifled.
"Gentlen, we should head back!" Ye Zhengqi reminded.
"Alright!" Zhong Yue nodded.
"Brother Ye, Brother Yue!" Sun Yuancheng cupped his hands towards Zhong Yue and Ye Zhengqi, then hesitated before cupping his hands towards Jiang Ning: "Brother Jiang, we are not going the sa way, so I’ll take my leave!"
The three nodded and saw him off together.
Then, Sun Yuancheng’s figure flashed, cutting through the air along the surface of the lake, and in the blink of an eye, he traversed the lake surface of Yang Lake, which was gradually regaining its calm, before disappearing into the mountains and forests.
The three retracted their gaze.
Jiang Ning took another glance above his head; the entrance to Shangyang Cave Heaven that had appeared earlier was already quietly closed.
The ripples that were emanating in the void had also disappeared, and the sky above Yang Lake had regained its calm.
On the other side.
Desert Flying Eagle looked afar towards the direction where Jiang Ning and others were.
"Let’s go, Yan’er, we’re going back to Northern Desert; you are not ant for his path!"
The girl in red returned her gaze, darkened, and obediently nodded.
"Alright!"
...
A mont later.
The building ship sailed out of Yang Lake, entering the river channel along the river.
"Brother Ye, Lord Jiang, how about sitting down for so drinks?" Zhong Yue suggested.
"Alright!" The two nodded.
After taking their seats, the building ship proceeded along the gentle river channel, the wine pot on the table was exceptionally steady.
"Let’s drink, today we won’t talk about anything else! To celebrate Lord Jiang." Zhong Yue said.
"Then let’s not leave until we’re drunk!" Ye Zhengqi said.
...
On the other side.
On the building ship belonging to Qingyun Sect.
"This ti, I’ve got it back for you all, don’t embarrass us again!" Han Qiu said.
"Rest assured, uncle grandmaster! When we return, I will rember this humiliation, double my practice! On one day, I will fight him again to prove myself!" Xie Yang clenched his fist, determination flashed in his eyes.
"As long as you say that, bringing you out this ti has been aningful!" Han Qiu looked at Xie Yang, satisfied, nodding.
Then withdrew the Divine Thought that was quietly observing Jiang Ning’s side.
Rarely, not hot-headed in youth, but able to recognize the trends!
She secretly made an evaluation about Jiang Ning in her heart.
Afterward, she advised the others a few tis before returning to her room.
On the deck.
After Han Qiu left, several people heaved a secret sigh of relief.
"Sis, have you taken a liking to him?" Wang Yuan suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing the words, Wang Xuan glared at him: "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Sis, do you really have no thoughts about him?" Wang Yuan looked at Wang Xuan’s serious expression, showing doubt.
"Your sister is not so lovesick youth, falling in love at first sight!" As she spoke, Wang Xuan directly kicked Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan imdiately grinned, rubbing his thigh, then continued.
"I just saw sis speaking so much to him, I thought sis had taken a liking to him!"
"He’s a strong opponent, and one worthy of to seriously treat as an opponent! This ti, uncle grandmaster stepped in..." Wang Xuan hesitated for a mont, then continued: "I am grateful to have him step in! But losing is losing, failing is failing. I will pay a price not less than my natal flying sword as redemption to retrieve this item!"
"Sis must be wealthy!" Wang Yuan showed envious expression.
Wang Xuan shook her head, earnestly saying: "This is a matter of principle! I lost, and I must afford to lose!"
"Sister Xuan’s words sound as if she’s indirectly mocking Brother Xie for being unable to accept defeat!" Junior Sister Ge teased.
Upon hearing Junior Sister Ge’s words, Xie Yang’s face darkened.
"Junior Sister Ge, don’t speak nonsense!" Xie Yang said.
Wang Xuan glanced at Junior Sister Ge indifferently: "Heard you were stripped and looked over?"
"Nonsense!" Seeing the others’ gazes, Junior Sister Ge’s voice suddenly raised and then suppressed her tone: "That guy just snatched the precious jade hanging around my neck."
Wang Xuan’s lips slightly curved: "Then he grabbed you."
"You..." Junior Sister Ge showed a choking expression, "Vulgar!"
