Yu Shangrong opened his eyes slightly. He lowered his head and looked at the fan on his shoulder.
There was no shock or surprise as he continued to close his eyes.
A powerful wave of energy swept past the Cave of Reflection.
After what seemed like hours, a voice rang from outside the Cave of Reflection.
"Second Senior Brother."
The voice was crisp and clear.
Yu Shangrong smiled and said, "Little Junior Sister."
He stood up slowly, picked up his Longevity Sword, and walked out of the Cave of Reflection.
Under the moonlight, Little Yuan 'er appeared outside the cave.
However, when she saw Yu Shangrong's white hair, she was slightly shocked and worried. She said, "Second Senior Brother, your … your hair …"
"I'm fine."
Yu Shangrong walked up to Little Yuan 'er and looked at the starry sky and the moonlight. Then, he looked at Little Yuan' er's head. "You seem to have grown taller."
"Hehe … people will always grow up."
"Yes … People always grow," Yu Shangrong said.
"The three elders and senior brother are causing trouble everywhere. I was bored, so I came to visit you, Second Senior Brother," Little Yuan 'er said.
Hua Wudao flew in the air with his Seven-leaf avatar and the Six Compatible Seal. When he sensed the commotion in the Cave of Reflection, he hovered in the air and looked down.
Yu Shangrong did not even look up as he spoke.
"He's dead. He's in the Cave of Reflection."
Hua Wudao was shocked. He landed.
He retracted his avatar and Daoist seal before he entered the Cave of Reflection.
Hua Wudao was shocked to see Jiang Liang who was long dead.
He bent down and examined Jiang Liang's wound. He was shocked when he confirmed the wound was caused by a sword.
Yu Shangrong's cultivation base was sealed. He knew Jiang Liang was a Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm elite, after all. Even if Jiang Liang was injured, he should not have been killed by someone without a cultivation base.
How did Jiang Liang do it?
Hua Wudao turned to look at Yu Shangrong under the moonlight.
Half of Jiang Liang's hair was white, and his expression was calm as though nothing had happened.
Hua Wudao could not figure it out so he stopped thinking about it. He left the Cave of Reflection and informed the others to bring the corpse away.
When Little Yuan 'er saw the corpse, she was shocked as well. She asked, "Second Senior Brother … You killed him?"
Yu Shangrong nodded. He did not deny it.
Hua Wudao cupped his fists. "Mister Second, how did you kill Jiang Liang?"
"I swung my sword with force," Yu Shangrong replied.
"…"
This answer was truly impeccable.
After checking the wound, Hua Wudao felt that it was a waste of time to ask.
"I've learned a lot."
He cupped his fists and left.
Little Yuan 'er gave him a thumbs-up. She giggled and said, "Second Senior Brother, you're amazing … Second Senior Brother, how powerful are you?"
This question stumped Yu Shangrong.
He gave it some thought before he answered seriously, "I'm slightly inferior to master …"
"Almost?"
"Not quite there."
"… Is it a little or a little?" Little Yuan 'er raised her head, looking as if she was determined to get to the bottom of it.
"That's not important." Yu Shangrong stepped out of the moonlight and the shadows of the leaves.
His back reminded Little Yuan 'er of someone, so she said, "Second Senior Brother, Seventh Senior Sister's hair is whiter than yours."
Yu Shangrong turned around and asked, "Ye Tianxin?"
When Little Yuan 'er thought of Ye Tianxin, she said in low spirits, "Senior Sister Tianxin is really a pitiful person. It's a pity that she was expelled by Master."
Yu Shangrong smiled. "Little Junior Sister, you're kind. It's rare and commendable."
"Thank you, Second Senior Brother," said Little Yuan 'er.
When Yu Shangrong saw her attire, he asked in confusion, "Isn't the Cloud Feather Raiment good?"
"No … The Cloud Feather Raiment is fine, but master doesn't allow me to wear it. He said that it will affect his cultivation base," Little Yuan 'er said.
"Master is right."
Little Yuan 'er said proudly, "I've made great progress recently. Second Senior Brother, let's spar … I didn't get to meet you last time, but I'm sure I can do it this time!"
Yu Shangrong. "…"
Before he could say anything.
Little Yuan 'er's ten-feet-tall avatar appeared behind her.
She was as smart and adorable as herself …
He looked at the avatar in shock. He said softly, "Congratulations, Little Junior Sister."
To be able to enter the Nascent Divinity realm, form a Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar, and even sprout a One-leaf in such a short time … Perhaps, Little Junior Sister would really be able to ascend to the peak of the cultivation world.
The future was promising.
As for himself … he had lost his cultivation.
At this moment, a majestic voice sounded — —
"Yuan 'er, don't fool around."
Little Yuan 'er hastily turned around. When she saw her master walking toward her with his hands on his back, she hastily bowed. "Master."
Yu Shangrong was slightly taken aback. He walked up to his little junior sister and bowed lightly.
Lu Zhou's gaze fell on Yu Shangrong's hair. He turned to Little Yuan 'er and said, "Yuan' er, I have something to say to your Second Senior Brother. You may leave."
"Oh."
Although Little Yuan 'er was reluctant, she had always obeyed her master's orders.
She turned to look at Yu Shangrong. Then, she waved her hand and said, "Second Senior Brother, I'll spar with you another day … I'll take my leave now!"
"Mhm." Yu Shangrong nodded.
After Little Yuan 'er left …
Lu Zhou extended his hand and said calmly, "Longevity Sword."
Yu Shangrong knew he could not resist. However, he hesitated for a moment before he placed the Longevity Sword in his master's hand.
When Lu Zhou touched the Longevity Sword, he sensed the energy in it.
There was not much energy left in the Longevity Sword.
Lu Zhou tossed the sword back and said, "You won't regret it? You could have lived for another two hundred years. "
He was certain Yu Shangrong had used the remaining power in the sword to kill Jiang Liang.
The Longevity Sword lived up to its name. It could prolong life and kill.
Yu Shangrong's expression was calm as he said, "I've never regretted any of the strikes I've made. In the past, in the present, and in the future, I won't regret it."
Lu Zhou placed his hands on his back and said,
"Now that things have come to this … do you still think this old man will kill you?"
Yu Shangrong was stunned.
Since the incident in Radiant Cloud Forest, although the master and disciple did not interact much, Yu Shangrong could clearly sense the changes in his master.
Yu Shangrong gave it some thought before he said, "Perhaps in the future."
"In the future? How long do you have left? What future do you have? "Lu Zhou asked.
Yu Shangrong was at a loss for words.
After what seemed like hours, Yu Shangrong finally said, "You said that you're going to kick down the door to the Nine-leaf stage."
Lu Zhou looked up at the sky. The moon was growing brighter.
He sighed and shook his head. "No matter what I've done in the past, it's all in the past …"
Yu Shangrong did not know what to say.
When he heard his master refer to himself as "this old man", he could feel the animosity between the two of them. When he recalled the past, Yu Shangrong could only remain silent.
At this moment, Lu Zhou turned around slowly and looked at Yu Shangrong.
"There must be a reason why I wanted to kill you in the past … However, no matter what the reason was, you and I were once master and disciple.
Your hair has turned white. If you've thought things through, come to the eastern pavilion. "
After saying this, Yu Shangrong did not say anything.
Lu Zhou did not plan to hear his master's reply on the spot.
He turned around and left the Cave of Reflection.
After a long time, the moonlight shone. Yu Shangrong opened his trembling fingers. He gripped the Longevity Sword tightly and returned to the Cave of Reflection.
