It has been several days since the end of the grand competition.

Lu Chuan naturally became the new senior brother of the sect, ranking second in the internal competition.

Simadong was punished with a lower ranking and had to do a lot of labor as a way to apologize for his offense.

Everyone was happy, except Lin Qingxue, who hasn't been feeling well lately.

She feels like she's sick.

When she cultivates, she can't concentrate like before and is always distracted. Even when she tries to relax and sleep at night, she dreams about Lu Chuan.

The details of their dual cultivation in the Secret Realm are vividly reproduced in her dreams.

After waking up, she feels empty. Even though they were intimate in her dreams, he is not by her side when she wakes up.

Lin Qingxue doesn't know what's wrong with her. Maybe it's the aftermath of the dragon poison, or maybe she's just sick.

She plans to ask the elder of the Medicine Valley for some medicine another day.

As she comes out of her room, she sees Lu Chuan practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard.

It's not just Lin Qingxue alone on the mountain anymore. Her room is on the mountaintop, while Lu Chuan's room is arranged halfway up the mountain.

Although the reason given is for her convenience in taking care of the spiritual herbs grown on the mountain, only she knows the real purpose.

If Lu Chuan were to come looking for her and be seen by the newly accepted disciples, she wouldn't know where to put her face as their master.

But it's true that Lu Chuan is indeed a talent. His talent in swordsmanship is terrifying, whether it's his comprehension of the sword or his understanding of sword techniques in actual combat. Lu Chuan's understanding surpasses that of a Qi Refining Stage cultivator like him.

Coupled with his diligent cultivation and serious personality, he will definitely become a great figure in the future.

The master's swordsmanship has found a successor, thanks to Lu Chuan's introduction.

Without him, she wouldn't have been able to overcome her inner demons. Without him, how could a genius like Lu Chuan have joined her sect?

"Lu Chuan, what are you doing now..." Lin Qingxue mutters.

"Master, what did you say?"

Upon hearing Lin Qingxue's voice, Lu Chuan puts away his sword and bows to her.

"I've told you so many times, no need to bow after greeting!"

Lin Qingxue pretends to be angry, but she's actually trying to cover up what she just said.

"Yes, Master." Lu Chuan smiles and takes out a handkerchief to wipe away the sweat on his forehead.

Compared to the crowded courtyard in the inner sect, she prefers living here.

The disciples in the inner sect are mainly focused on competition. They all want to know each other's secrets and learn from each other's cultivation techniques, gaining an advantage.

Here, she doesn't have to worry about all that. There's a quiet cultivation environment and a master who can answer her questions.

The master not only takes great care of her cultivation, but also takes care of her daily life.

He personally built her house, provided her with Spirit Stones for cultivation, and there is a large garden of flowers and plants on the mountain.

Since she ran away from home, these past few days have been the most relaxed and comfortable in nearly ten years.

Thanks to Senior Brother Lu Chuan, if it weren't for his intervention, she wouldn't have been able to join Master Lin Qingxue's sect so easily.

She has a clear sense of love and hate, and repays kindness with gratitude. Those who have persecuted her will eventually be killed by her. As for her master and senior brother, she will definitely fulfill their requests and repay their kindness.

At this moment, Lu Chuan is in his room, worrying about the Ice Soul Sword.

Wasn't he supposed to have an unparalleled understanding of swords as the flawless sword body? Why is this sword so unresponsive?

In the original work, the Ice Soul Sword had a sword spirit. As a Ninth Grade spiritual sword, it was already a Divine Weapon, so it wasn't strange for it to have a spirit.

After inheriting it, Lu Chuan's sword spirit appeared and became his advisor, increasing his combat power.

Since returning to the sect, Lu Chuan has been trying to summon the sword spirit, but no matter how hard he tries, it doesn't work.

The damn system knows nothing and only urges Lu Chuan to find Lin Qingxue to trigger the antagonist's mission.

Could it be that only Lin Qingxue can summon the sword spirit, and he can't?

He should go find her, demonstrate some moves, and let her touch the Ice Soul Sword. Maybe the sword spirit will awaken.

Lu Chuan thinks he's a genius!

Knock, knock, knock...

"Lu Chuan, are you in your room?"

The door was knocked, followed by the elderly voice of Zhang Zhenhai.

"Master, I'm here." Lu Chuan put away the Frost Sword and stood up to greet the sect master.

"You should go to Lin Shimei's place in the next few days and pass on a message to her newly accepted disciple."

Lu Chuan didn't immediately realize who Lin Shimei was referring to, but then he remembered that it was Lin Qingxue.

He should indeed go to Luoli's side and take advantage of the fact that he still doesn't have any hostile thoughts towards him, so he can complete more antagonist tasks and improve his own strength.

To put it bluntly, in this treacherous cultivation world, one's background is just an illusion. When facing enemies, only true strength matters.

"I have plans, Luoli is skilled with the sword, and I want to have a match with him."

"Hahaha, I didn't know you were like this, always finding excuses!" The old man with white hair and a youthful appearance had a mischievous expression on his face. "You haven't seen your senior brother Lin these past few days, and you're itching to see him, right?"

"Master, please don't tease me. I only have admiration and longing for Senior Brother Lin."

Lu Chuan didn't expect his lenient master to say something that sounded like teasing, so he explained it specifically.

He and Lin Qingxue were currently just friends, and they had agreed not to mention the matter of dual cultivation beneath the cliff.

His current goal was still to improve his own strength. Although he was at the Foundation Building Stage, one realm higher than the protagonist Luoli, he couldn't be sure that Luoli wasn't hiding his true strength.

Upon hearing Lu Chuan's words, Zhang Zhenhai laughed again.

"I understand, I understand. You only have a nephew's affection for her, I understand."

You understand my ass!

Lu Chuan really wanted to punch this unorthodox sect master, but unfortunately, he couldn't beat him.

"Master, let's get to the point."

"Alright, alright. You go tell Lin Shimei's disciple that he has obtained the qualification to comprehend the Sacred Land of the sect. Gather in front of the Sacred Land in a week."

"I suddenly had a flash of inspiration these past two days and want to seclude myself for a period of time. If you have any cultivation issues, don't go find Lin Shimei. You should also go to comprehend in a week. Just go to Elder Wang Song in front of the Sacred Land."

Lu Chuan understood the situation and said, "Understood, Master. You can rest assured and seclude yourself. You don't need to worry about your disciple."

"Take these with you, I'll go ahead."

Zhang Zhenhai took out a storage ring and gave it to Lu Chuan. He summoned a crane and flew to his seclusion place, leaving behind these words, "Don't embarrass me. I have thin skin."

Lu Chuan replied, "I won't embarrass you, old man."

Opening the storage ring, there were some basic pills and Spirit Stones for cultivation, enough for an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator to use for one or two years.

Lu Chuan chuckled. It seemed that his lenient master really valued him.

He wondered if his master valued him as a person or valued the Lu family behind him.

There were hundreds of sects in the cultivation world, and countless cultivation families.

The Lu family was the top family in the entire cultivation world, and it was said that they had their own influence in various immortal sects.

As the legitimate son of the Lu family, Lu Chuan becoming the sect master's direct disciple in the Hope Immortal Gate was naturally effortless.

Speaking of the Lu family, Lu Chuan remembered that he still had a maid.

The maid was about the same age as Lu Chuan, and they grew up together. The maid was responsible for taking care of Lu Chuan.

After entering the Hope Immortal Gate, Lu Chuan, who hadn't awakened his memories yet, found her annoying and drove her away to fend for herself in the mortal world.

Lu Chuan's first half of his life was just like the Lu Chuan in the original work, appearing to be the noble young master of the Lu family, but behind the scenes, he did countless bad things.

Lu Chuan felt a bit guilty. He felt that his previous self was not like himself. From now on, he would refer to his pre-memory awakening self as the original owner, so he would feel less guilty.

It was not easy for a weak woman to live alone in the mortal world. It would be good to inquire about her situation when he had the chance.

Thinking all the way, Lu Chuan stepped on his flying sword and arrived at Lin Qingxue's place.

"Master, Senior Brother Lu Chuan is here."

Luoli was practicing the sword technique that Lin Qingxue had just taught him. When he saw Lu Chuan flying towards his mountain, he suddenly said, "Ah, who's here?"

Lin Qingxue, who had been melancholic before, suddenly became spirited upon hearing Luoli's words.

No longer feeling sore in her waist, no longer feeling pain in her legs, and her voice was no longer as weak as if she was about to run out of breath.

Luoli was speechless. His master really had special thoughts about Senior Brother Lu Chuan.

It would be better for her to pretend not to know.
