The tomb of the old leader and his wife is on the side peak of Danqi Mountain. They loved quietness during their lifetime, and after their death, Lou Jingyu buried them here.

The side peaks are tall and beautiful, the mountain roads are steep, and there is almost no human habitation except for the patrolling guards of the Chiyang Sect.

Because the weather has been bad these days, with rain from time to time, the mountain roads are still muddy even though they are paved with stone bricks.

Lou Jingyu wore simple casual clothes and went to the cemetery with several of his mother's friends.

Lou Jingyu knew that his mother was open-minded when she was alive and had many friends in the world. Every year on her death anniversary, many people would come to pay tribute to her, so he was very polite to them and would accompany them every time.

The few people who arrived today are almost sixty years old, and can be considered Lou Jingyu's elders. They are now legendary figures in the world.

Uncle Jiang also came along and told them about recent rumors in the martial arts world, and also accompanied them in reminiscing about the glorious past years.

When Lou Jingyu was mentioned, he also said a few words.

"Thank you all uncles for your hard work. You remembered my mother's death anniversary and took the trouble to come here."

Lou Jingyu actually felt that given his mother's personality, she would not want her old friends to go through so much trouble to climb the mountain to see her.

According to the Jade Lady's bold words back then, life and death are trivial matters.

When you die, everything is gone.

When she was young, she was fearless and had no taboos at all.

When talking about what will happen after death, I imagine myself being burned to ashes after death, and then being blown away so cleanly, and then wandering around the world with the wind, which is also a free and easy feeling.

But later the old leader said that if you turn into ashes, you won’t necessarily be blown around the world by the wind; you may also be washed into a stinky ditch by strong winds and heavy rains.

She has always loved cleanliness, so she gave up the idea and decided that it would be more peaceful to return to the earth quietly.

At least he's wrapped in a coffin and won't go into any strange places.

As for what will happen thousands or hundreds of years later, it doesn’t matter. At least it can comfort myself temporarily.

But other people didn’t think so, nor did they think as clearly as she did. After all, they still came to offer sacrifices to keep a memory.

The group quickly arrived at the place, and the elders they were going to worship prepared offerings and placed them in front of the stele.

While they were reminiscing about the past, Lou Jingyu stood not far away and did not disturb them.

In fact, the anniversary of the old leader’s wife’s death is two days later, but they have all come from all over the world and cannot be sure of the time.

Lou Jingyu also followed his mother's wishes and had no intention of holding a grand ceremony. Over the years, they would pay their respects whenever they came, and then hurry back after the worship.

He thought his mother wouldn't care if it was a few days earlier or later.

It’s just that Lou Jingyu has been having a hard time these days, accompanying guests almost every day these days.

He unconsciously reached out to touch the amulet on his waist, stroking the tassels hanging from the amulet, and wondering what Eleven was doing at this moment.

It’s time to finish practicing sword skills by now.

My mind is always thinking of him.

On the anniversary of his death, he would also bring Eleven to meet his father and mother.

I guess the weather would be clearer and the mountain road would be easier to walk on.

After the elders finished their worship, Lou Jingyu sent them down the mountain.

They have been close friends for many years and only travel across mountains and rivers to visit old friends once a year. They are not like most other guests who come just to curry favor with the power and wealth of the Red Sun Sect.

This is also why Lou Jingyu treated them with respect, placing himself in the position of a junior.

After seeing the person off, Lou Jingyu wanted to return to Canglan Palace.

He hadn't seen her for most of the day, from early morning to afternoon, and he missed Eleven.

After being together all day for so long, even such separation becomes unbearable.

What's more, Ying Shiyi has been in a bad mood these days, and he is very worried. He always wants to keep him under his nose to feel at ease.

On the way back, I was stopped by someone who was moving forward.

"Master, what a coincidence, where are you going?"

Qiao Shuhe waited on this road for a long time and finally found a chance to meet him by chance, and said with a smile.

Lou Jingyu frowned slightly, and felt inexplicably unhappy when he saw her.

Why is this person still here?

"This is my sect. I can go wherever I want. Do you have time to say more?"

Qiao Shuhe choked and grabbed her dress awkwardly, almost unable to maintain her smile.

"It's my fault for being so abrupt."

She was quite shrewd, and even after being stabbed by Lou Jingyu, she still maintained her composure. She knew that she must not show any dissatisfaction in front of this man.

Otherwise there is no chance at all.

Lou Jingyu didn't answer her, but asked directly: "I remember asking Uncle Jiang to take you to worship your mother, why are you still in the sect now?"

"I want to wait until the anniversary of my aunt's death to visit her. After all, it's not easy to come here, so I have to burn some incense while you're at it."

Qiao Shuhe spoke sincerely, hoping that Lou Jingyu could understand her feelings from her words.

"No need. I won't organize it. A death anniversary is no different from any other day."

Lou Jingyu waved his hands, thinking that he had no idea what Sect Leader Qiao had told his daughter. It was the same every year. How could she not even know that she had come to the Chiyang Sect?

Qiao Shuhe was a little anxious. She hadn't done anything yet. If this was the case, she would have to leave.

"I don't know about the leader's atonement, but I'm sure my aunt will be happy if I go there again when the time comes. Just consider it as my intention as a junior."

Lou Jingyu was already a little annoyed and just kicked the guest out.

"The Chiyang Sect does not allow idle people to stay any longer, and my mother will not care about these things. Once is enough, so let's go."

Qiao Shuhe opened her eyes wide, as if she didn't expect him to chase her away directly.

Is this the Chiyang Sect’s way of entertaining guests?

I thought that this was indeed the evaluation of Lou Jingyu in the martial arts world. Lou Jingyu was such a decisive and ruthless person.

But this makes her want to conquer him even more.

She has always been proud and believed that only a person like Lou Jingyu with a good family background is worthy of her.

That's why I won't let go easily.

At this moment, Qiao Shuhe was glad that he had made preparations. He quickly called his maid and took the sword box from her hand.

"Master Lou, this is what my father asked me to bring back. It is the sword that Aunt Yu used in Linggu Mountain. Now it has been returned to its original owner."

She didn't take it out before because she was afraid that Lou Jingyu would be difficult to approach. She could use this sword to create another opportunity to talk to him.

Unexpectedly, she was right in her prediction.

Lou Jingyu knew that this sword had been with his mother for many years, but later on, as his mother switched to practicing internal skills, she had fewer and fewer opportunities to use the sword, so she left the sword in Linggu Mountain.

This is also a rare sword.

He thought of Ying Eleven.

His Eleven had several swords, but they were all ordinary swords, nothing special.

It seems like Eleven doesn't care about the quality of the weapon, as long as it can be used.

But Lou Jingyu felt that those swords that were easily worn out were not worthy of Eleven, and had always wanted to find a good sword for him. He did not expect that one would be delivered to his doorstep now.

More importantly, this is his mother's sword, which has a special meaning, and he wants to give this sword to Eleven.

This Chixiao sword and the Canglan sword he used were rumored to be a pair of mandarin duck swords forged by a sword-making master a hundred years ago.

Now that the item has been returned to its original owner, Lou Jingyu naturally accepted it.
