Mei Li stared into his eyes and asked, "Reason?"
"Jing Jiu's family in Zhaoge City seems to have no connection with the royal family, but in fact they have a secret connection. His ancestor had served the previous emperor."
Chi Yan said, "We all know that the royal family has a good relationship with the Zen sects. There is even a rumor that the previous emperor faked his death and was actually cultivating in the Guocheng Temple."
The Master of Xilai Peak said, "Go on."
Chi Yan continued, "The Guocheng Temple sent the Principal Justice here for the Inherited Sword Competition. This is one of the reasons."
The Principal Justice had a high status in the Guocheng Temple, and was the most important figure among the guests, so the Master of Xilai Peak had to come in person to be his equal.
Normally, a matter like the Inherited Sword Competition shouldn't bother him.
The Principal Justice had remained silent from the beginning to the end, but he had been waiting at the foot of the Shenmo Peak the night before.
Why? The highly achieved monks of the Zen sects were not interested in the excitement. The two princes of Zhaoge City were worried about Zhao Layue, but what was he looking at?
The people in the hall were deep in thought.
Mei Li asked, "I have a question. Does it mean that Jing Jiu knows how to break the forbidding formation of the Shenmo Peak just because he came from the Guocheng Temple?"
"The Young Senior Master had a good relationship with the Guocheng Temple."
Chi Yan looked at the crowd and said, "You guys haven't forgotten that the nine peaks never had any guests, but Zen Master stayed on the peak for one hundred days."
Thinking of the past, a smile appeared on Mei Li's pretty face.
"That young monk was so cute that even I wanted to stay a few more days."
The Master of Xilai Peak said, "Young Sister, don't be rude to Zen Master."
Mei Li smiled embarrassedly, indicating that she should stop talking.
Chi Yan said, "There is another way to reach the peak top … the Vajra Body. If Jing Jiu came from the Guocheng Temple, all these things would make sense."
The elder of Yunxing Peak said, "There is also a rumor among the disciples of the younger generation that Jing Jiu likes to touch people's heads."
Whether it was Liu Shisui or Zhao Layue, Jing Jiu had touched their heads, and it had been seen by others.
Merry asked, "So what?"
The elder of Yunxing Peak said, "The monks of the Zen sects like to do this the most. It's called enlightenment."
Mei Li laughed and said, "Senior Martial Brother is really interesting."
Chi Yan also laughed and said: "It's just a casual guess without any proof. These discussions naturally won't spread, so as to not chill the hearts of these disciples."
The master of Xilai Peak sighed, "He is no longer a disciple, but a peer. Even I have to call him Junior Brother. What a mess."
Elder Cheng of Bihu Peak didn't understand their feelings at the moment. He said sternly, "What if Jing Jiu really came from the Guocheng Temple?"
The master of Xilai Peak glanced at him and said lightly, "Then we'll raise him. What else can we do?"
The elder of Yunxing Peak praised, "That's right. We'll try to raise the second Broadsword Saint in the future. Those monks will go for wool and come home shorn."
The master of Xilai Peak stroked his white eyebrows and said expectantly, "If it's true and it can be done, it'll be wonderful."
…
…
On the top of Shangde Peak.
Chi Yan walked to the deep part of the manor cave and looked at the figure by the well, saying, "I've said what I should say, but it seems that no one believes it. It's indeed a bit far-fetched."
Yuan Qijing turned around and said expressionlessly, "When the Broadsword Saint revealed his identity, who among the poor people of the Windy-Broadsword Church dared to believe him?"
What he was talking about was a past event in the Cultivation world.
The Broadsword Saint used to be a monk of the Guocheng Temple.
During his experience of the mortal world, he chose the northern land and joined a very small sect that used the broadsword.
Amidst the wind and snow, he and the small sect fought enemies together and went through life and death together. Ten years later, he found that he couldn't leave this place anymore.
As a result, the Guocheng Temple lost an eminent monk, and the northern land gained a Broadsword Saint.
This past event in the Cultivation world was no secret to the elders of the nine peaks of Aoyama.
The joking conversation between the master of Xilai Peak and the elder of Yunxing Peak referred to this event.
In fact, Chi Yan didn't quite understand why his Big Brother asked him to do this, nor did he understand why his Big Brother no longer concealed his true state. Did he want to demonstrate his power to the Tianguang Peak?
Yuan Qijing snorted and said, "Of course there's something wrong with that Jing Jiu."
Chi Yan agreed and said, "But it seems that he has never tried to conceal himself. It's strange."
Yuan Qijing said, "Let's ignore him. The Guocheng Temple won't get anything out of him. Since Liangwang Peak has clues, let's start the investigation from the death of Zuo Yi."
Chi Yan agreed.
Yuan Qijing said, "By the way, let's suppress Liangwang Peak. Otherwise, those young people will get carried away."
Chi Yan said, "Gu Qing has admitted it himself."
After a moment of silence, Yuan Qijing asked, "Nobody mentioned the Thoughtless Sword?"
Thinking of the scene in the grand hall of Xilai Peak, Chi Yan shook his head and said, "Nobody mentioned it until the end."
Why didn't the Immortal Jingyang take the Thoughtless Sword with him when he ascended?
This was a very important question, but those people didn't even mention it.
Why?
"Everyone has a secret in their heart. Either they are afraid of others seeing the secret in their heart, or they don't dare to see the secret in others' heart."
Yuan Qijing said with a sneer, "But if we don't see it, does it mean that the secret doesn't exist?"
…
…
On the top of Shenmo Peak.
Looking at the outside of the cliff, Zhao Layue said, "I think it's a bit too much."
Jing Jiu knew that she was talking about him patting Guo Nanshan's shoulder and what he said.
He didn't explain; it was a subconscious action.
No matter how calm and composed Guo Nanshan was, he was just a child in Jing Jiu's eyes.
Zhao Layue drew back her gaze and said to Jing Jiu, "Others think you relied on me to reach the peak top, and they even say you are shameless. Aren't you angry?"
Jing Jiu rubbed her head and said, "It's good to have less trouble."
Zhao Layue stared at Jing Jiu, saying nothing.
Jing Jiu drew back his hand and placed it behind his back, saying, "Be careful in the future."
Zhao Layue said, "I find that you talk more than usual when you see Gu Han."
"Yes."
Jing Jiu remembered a certain night.
That night, Liu Shisui sneaked into the manor cave to see Jing Jiu and talked a lot, and the name Big Brother Gu came up many times.
Jing Jiu found it interesting, because the young man named Gu Han made him feel uncomfortable.
Of course, the whole Liangwang Peak made him feel uncomfortable.
"That's why you are here."
Jing Jiu thought while looking at the bracelet on his wrist.
Zhao Layue asked, "What is this? Is it a sword like my bracelet? "
Jing Jiu said, "It's a secret."
Zhao Layue said, "You have too many secrets."
Jing Jiu said, "I heard someone say that only people with secrets can live in harmony with each other. I thought it was true."
"Don't you think so now?" Zhao Layue asked.
Jing Jiu said, "Don't you think there are more things to do after we met?"
Zhao Layue looked at him in Silence and said, "Isn't it because we are doing the same thing?"
Jing Jiu didn't understand what she meant.
Zhao Layue turned around and entered the manor cave.
The cave was still the same, but the teacup that Jing Yang had used before had been moved to some unknown place.
She walked to the deep end of the manor cave and pushed the wall open. Her eyes lit up when she saw the plain clothes.
It didn't take long for her to return to the cliff's edge and change into a plain dress.
"Do I look good?"
She turned around in front of Jing Jiu, her dress fluttering.
Even if she had natural Dao quality, she was still a noble lady who loved beauty.
"It's too big," Jing Jiu said after thinking about it.
The plain robe was left behind by Jing Yang, so it was naturally a little too big for the girl.
A bright light illuminated the peak top. The scarlet Thoughtless Sword flew out from the cave and flew around Zhao Layue's body at a high speed.
The sword light flickered, and a few pieces of her dress fell to the ground.
The sleeves and hem of Zhao Layue's dress were a bit shorter, but it still looked empty. After all, it was impossible to make the waist smaller.
Jing Jiu couldn't stand it anymore, saying, "Xilai Peak will send some caretakers here in a few days. You can ask them to do it then."
