Just as Xu Yunsheng had said, Xu Yunsheng was not the only opponent Ying Rozha was looking for.
Ying Rozha had always been determined to find Xu Yunsheng not because of their previous competition, but because of Zhuge Wanqiu.
But from this, it could be seen that Ying Rozha and Zhuge Wanqiu had always been at odds with each other, and the reason was not because of anyone else, but because of Xu Yunsheng.
A hundred years in the Mystic Heaven Realm was twenty-five years in the Broad Thousand Worlds. Zhuge Wanqiu would usually cultivate in the Heaven Grotto-Heaven with accelerated time. Such a long time might not be too long for cultivators, but Xu Yunsheng did not want Zhuge Wanqiu to go through such a long wait and suffering.
Moreover, Xu Yunsheng had to admit that he had actually felt a little guilty to Zhuge Wanqiu and the others back then, and subconsciously wanted to stay away from them.
However, Zhuge Wanqiu, who had always been weak and had no opinions of her own, had always been firm on this matter.
Although Zhu Yi did not tell her Xu Yunsheng's whereabouts and the specific situation, she knew from Zhu Yi that Xu Yunsheng's life was not in danger and that he was safe and sound. So she continued to wait, even if she did not know how long she had to wait.
After Xu Yunsheng realized this through his conversation with Yang Tie, his first reaction wasn't joy, excitement, or complacency, but deep guilt.
Xu Yunsheng's eyes faintly showed pain. "In the end, I still delayed her."
He took a deep breath, shook his head, and looked at Yang Tie. "Tie, you must have a lot of things to do now. Go take care of them and don't worry about me. We can slowly catch up later. I'm going to see the other senior and junior brothers now."
Seeing Xu Yunsheng's expression, Yang Tie knew that he had something on his mind, but he did not ask too much. Instead, he nodded. "Senior Brother Xu, it's good that you returned safely. Everyone misses you."
After saying goodbye to Yang Tie, Xu Yunsheng left the Qian Tian Palace and walked towards the Desolate Sky Valley. He stopped at the entrance and looked at the valley in front of him in silence.
At this moment, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes suddenly appeared in front of Xu Yunsheng. He sized him up and asked hesitantly, "Are you Martial Uncle Tian Xu?"
The young man had seen all the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Xuanmen on Jade Capital Mountain, except for Xu Yunsheng, who he had never seen before. However, when he thought of the image of Xu Yunsheng that he had seen before, he tried to ask.
It was impossible for a fake Xuanmen Tianzong disciple to appear on Yujing Mountain, and it was impossible for a member of the Evil Spirit to sneak in.
However, this young man's Grand Master and Master both paid attention to actual combat and were extremely daring people. Perhaps they really connived with the scoundrel to sneak in, and then secretly observed the response of their juniors and disciples, honing their vigilance and adaptability.
When the young man saw Xu Yunsheng, he didn't dare to be sure.
In particular, it was rumored that Xu Yunsheng was an outstanding figure among the second generation Successor Disciples of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. He was the first disciple of the former Master of the Celestial Palace, Zhu Yi. Long before Yang Tie's rise, Xu Yunsheng was publicly recognized as the person most likely to become the second generation Successor Disciple of the Celestial Palace.
In the eyes of many, it was precisely because he had suddenly left the mountain and had not been heard from for many years that the rising star Yang Tie became the second-generation true disciple of the Qian Tian Palace Master.
Yang Tie had now reached the Primordial Soul realm, but Xu Yunsheng was still only at the early Golden Elixir realm. Not to mention Yang Tie, Ying Roza, and the young man's Master, even the tiger-eyed young man himself had a much higher cultivation level than Xu Yunsheng. Such an abnormal situation inevitably made the young man feel uncertain.
Xu Yunsheng smiled. "I am Xu Yunsheng."
He seemed to know what the young man in front of him was thinking, so he didn't make things difficult for him. He raised his right hand, and as light and shadow floated on the back of his hand, a faint Tai Chi pattern appeared. Yin and Yang fused and rotated continuously. When the young man saw this light pattern, although the doubt in the depths of his eyes did not decrease, his expression clearly relaxed.
The young man bowed to Xu Yunsheng. "Disciple Shi Yang, Taoist name Yuandan, greets Uncle-Master Tian Xu."
He was Huang Zhenting's disciple, Shi Yang, the third generation direct disciple of Xuan Gate Sky Sect's Desolate Sky Valley. When he was young, he was also like a devil incarnate. Now that his cultivation had deepened and he was getting older, he became much more mature. Although he was curious about Xu Yunsheng's current cultivation realm, he still bowed respectfully without losing his sense of propriety.
However, when he heard Shi Yang's Taoist name, Xu Yunsheng was also slightly stunned. When he recovered, he couldn't help but smile.
"Is Little Uncle-Master here?" Xu Yunsheng was the first to ask. If Shi Tianhao was in the Heaven Desolate Valley, he would first greet him.
Shi Yang replied, "Grandmaster is not on the mountain. My master has gone to the Heaven Desolate Villa. Now, Uncle-Master Tian Hong is in charge of the cave abode on Jade Capital Mountain."
After a short pause, he added, "Also, Uncle-Master Tian Xu, the Ancestral Master accepted another Ninth Uncle-Master as a disciple. Although I haven't seen him all these years, my grandmaster is currently ranked last among the male disciples under the Ancestral Master."
He was now also a teacher and the leader of the third-generation true disciples in the Heaven Desolate Valley, so he was very familiar with the sect's etiquette. However, when he said that, everyone knew that he still had the imposing manner of the past.
Xu Yunsheng didn't mind and smiled. "Is that so? I've been away for a long time and just returned to the mountain, so I didn't know that there was such a big matter. However, what do you mean by Tian Hong? "
Shi Yang said, "Tian Hong is Uncle-Master Zhuge's Taoist name."
Xu Yunsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded. "I see. I understand now." When he formed his Gold Core, he went to the Heaven Mystic Realm immediately. At that time, Zhuge Wanqiu had not formed her Gold Core yet, so the sect naturally didn't give her a Taoist name.
"I'm going to see Junior Sister Zhuge. You can do your own things. No need to stand on ceremony," Xu Yunsheng said to Shi Yang with a smile. Shi Yang immediately bowed to him and left.
After entering the Heaven Desolate Valley, there would naturally be other Heaven Desolate Valley true disciples who would tell him where Zhuge Wanqiu was. Along the way, Xu Yunsheng walked to the front of a bamboo house.
He looked from afar, and when he first saw the bamboo house, he found that the door was already open.
Xu Yunsheng's gaze became slightly complicated. He already knew that Zhuge Wanqiu had now formed the Heaven and Earth Avatar and cultivated to the late stage of Yuanying. It was not difficult for her to detect him, who was in the early stage of Golden Elixir, to enter the valley with her Sudden Inspiration and Divine Sense.
When he reached the door of the house, he saw a slim figure dressed in purple muslin sitting with her back facing the door. She was motionless and silent.
Xu Yunsheng looked at the back of the figure and fell into silence. For a moment, he felt that no matter what he said, it would be useless.
After a long time, Xu Yunsheng took a deep breath and said Slowly, "I'm back."
Hearing this, the figure trembled slightly. She stood up and turned to face Xu Yunsheng. Her beautiful face was the same as before, but her eyes were fluctuating and not calm.
However, when she spoke, she was still gentle and kind, just like when they were cultivating in the same sect. "Senior Brother Xu, how have you been?"
Xu Yunsheng nodded lightly, and the two fell into silence again.
"Although I was born in the Xu Family of the Great Qin Dynasty, I am not actually part of the Xu Family. My roots were not in the Great Qin Dynasty, but in the Great Zhou Dynasty …" Xu Yunsheng clenched his fists, clenched and loosened them, then loosened and tightened again. Finally, he completely relaxed and said in a calm tone, "Miaoying and I were wandering in the Great Zhou Dynasty when we were young. We were adopted and raised by the spies of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After that, I returned to the Xu Family and became a small chess piece of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the Great Qin Dynasty, while Miaoying remained in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Hearing this, Zhuge Wanqiu's face showed some surprise. Not only Xu Yunsheng, but also Xu Miaoying's experience was something she had never heard of before.
Xu Yunsheng chose to stay in the Xuantian Realm for a hundred years, so his secret and reputation were protected by Zhu Yi. His roots were only known by a very limited number of people in Xuanmen Tianzong.
"But after that, I passed the sect's selection and was able to enter the sect. Thus, the Great Zhou Dynasty's role and position towards me was adjusted accordingly. However, at that time, no matter if it was me or the Great Zhou Dynasty, none of us knew that everything was already in the hands of the founder, master, and uncles …"
Xu Yunsheng spoke of everything in a calm tone, as if what he was saying had nothing to do with him.
After hearing about Xu Yunsheng's choice, Zhuge Wanqiu's expression returned to normal, but her gaze became even more complicated. It was as if countless emotions were about to burst out in her heart, but they kept cooling down. She looked at Xu Yunsheng and said in a low voice, "Second uncle-master has never mentioned these things, and master has never mentioned them either. Although I can see that Miaoying's experiences in her youth were not simple, her knowledge of your specific situation is limited."
"If you don't say it yourself, second uncle-master and the others will keep it a secret for you. No one will know."
Xu Yunsheng smiled. "I don't want to explain anything. It's just that I left without saying goodbye and made you wait for so long. I owe you an explanation."
After hearing this, Zhuge Wanqiu's eyes narrowed, but Xu Yunsheng continued, "Junior Sister, I know your feelings. It's just that I've let you down and caused you to be infatuated with the wrong person. I don't want you to wait for a long time. At that time, I thought that it's better to forget each other than to wait for a hundred years. Sometimes, letting go is also love."
"Now that I think about it, it was my selfishness. I never asked you for your opinion, and I never thought about what you were thinking."
Xu Yunsheng said softly, "I thought that with your conditions, you would definitely be able to marry someone else. It's not that I don't trust you, but I didn't want to hold you up. However, I didn't respect your wishes, so today's mistake was caused by me. I should bear all the consequences, but I don't know how to make it up to you."
"You're infatuated and stubborn, but I'm hesitant and acted on my own. I'm the one who doesn't deserve you. Today, I'm telling you my feelings, not to explain, not to redeem anything, but because I feel that you should have the right to know everything. You should know that the person you're waiting for is not worthy of your wait. "
The current Xu Yunsheng and Zhuge Wanqiu were no longer teenagers. Whether it was Xu Yunsheng, who was telling the story, or Zhuge Wanqiu, who was listening quietly, neither of them felt embarrassed and said everything clearly.
