And from a certain perspective, as the southern border's oldest cultivating sect, FenXiang Valley naturally became the best place for many Good Faction disciples who were not familiar with the local geography to visit and seek advice, therefore FenXiang Valley changed from its usual tranquility, streams of people flowed in and out daily.
And under such circumstances, this day, three people came to FenXiang Valley entrance, one man and two women, they were Qing Yun sect disciples, Peak of the Wind Zeng ShuShu and Small Bamboo Valley WenMin and Lu XueQi.
The Qing Yun sect disciples who came to the southern border were naturally not only the three of them, in fact, Qing Yun sect was known as the world's number one Good Faction sect, they had sent numerous young generation disciples but among them, the most outstanding ones could not come, other than a few who had already taken up important positions in the sect like QiHao, Xiao YiCai also because Reverend DaoXuan did not have many matters to attend to recently, the complicated affairs on TongTian Peak were mostly handled by him and could not leave; as for LinJingYu, this time he insisted on guarding in the Founders Ancestral Hall, it was said that it was to keep vigil for a certain Qing Yun senior whom he was deeply indebted to, so he could not come.
And the remaining few, were led by Zeng ShuShu and Lu XueQi. Zeng ShuShu was fine, his father Zeng ShuChang gave some instructions before coming to the southern border, but Lu XueQi's trip this time was more complicated, it was said that ShuiYue Master initially did not want her to come out but later on for some reason she changed her mind, just that she specially let Lu XueQi senior sister WenMin to follow along.
But WenMin's arrival had an advantage, it was that along the way, Zeng ShuShu had one more person to talk to. If not Zeng ShuShu, who was originally as active as a monkey, if he had to travel with Lu XueQi who was as cold as ice, most likely in a day, nine out of ten of Zeng ShuShu's sentences were talking to himself, the remaining sentence was most likely Lu XueQi impatiently ordering him to go away.
On the way to the southern border, Zeng ShuShu got along well with WenMin, the three of them discussed together, Zeng ShuShu suggested that no matter what, as fellow Good Faction disciples, coming to the southern border, they should still pay a visit to FenXiang Valley. But Lu XueQi seemed to be unwilling, calmly expressing her opinion, saying that it was not like she had never been to Southern Border before, she probably knew where to go, there was no need to trouble others and so on.
Zeng ShuShu and WenMin knew what was going on, guessed that Lu XueQi still had a knot in her heart, that day at Qing Yun sect TongTian Peak Crystal Hall, she firmly rejected FenXiang Valley valley master Yun YiLan's marriage proposal for his favourite disciple Li Xun, hurt Yun YiLan's and Reverend DaoXuan's face, naturally she was not willing to interact with FenXiang Valley people anymore.
But after Zeng ShuShu and WenMin discussed a few times, WenMin still persuaded Lu XueQi, after all they still had to come and put up an act, or else it would not look good in front of the teachers. Lu XueQi hesitated again and again, but finally agreed.
The three of them came to the entrance of FenXiang Valley, the three of them already had some fame, especially Anan, she herself was a country toppling beauty, ever since the rise of Qing Yun sect's younger generation, her fame and beauty became even more renowned. And to FenXiang Valley, Anan most likely had another layer of meaning, therefore when the three of them had just appeared at the entrance, almost immediately they were recognised by the FenXiang Valley disciples.
After the initial shock, there seemed to be a commotion but then someone hurried in to report, at the same time a number of people immediately came up to welcome them.
The person in front smiled and cupped his hands, said, "Ah! Lu senior sister's presence at FenXiang Valley, it is really rare! These two are also Qing Yun sect senior brother and sister right, please come in, please come in. "
Zeng ShuShu exchanged a glance with WenMin, secretly stuck out his tongue and made a funny face, thinking that this Anan's reputation was really frightening, even these ordinary FenXiang Valley disciples could recognise her at one glance, and himself and WenMin obviously belonged to those passers-by who followed behind a beauty.
Both of them were not angry, Zeng ShuShu was all smiles, joking and chatting with those FenXiang Valley disciples along the way, from time to time they could be heard laughing heartily.
Walking at the back, WenMin softly said to Anan, "Junior sister, look at that Zeng junior brother, we just met and he is already so familiar with him, really impressive."
Anan looked ahead, Zeng ShuShu had already put his hand on the FenXiang Valley disciple's shoulder, smiled faintly but did not speak.
Very soon, they, under the lead of the FenXiang Valley disciple, arrived at FenXiang Valley Mountain River Hall, in the hall, it was actually Yun YiLan sitting on the main seat with a smile waiting for them, obviously in the FenXiang Valley head's eyes, these three distinguished disciples of Qing Yun sect were completely different from the other sects.
Even so, Zeng ShuShu, WenMin the three of them were after all not people who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth, they knew Yun YiLan's status, for him to personally receive them, it was really rather condescending.
Immediately the three of them hurriedly went up, after Zeng ShuShu paid his respects, said, "Yun senior why did you still come to meet us personally, it should be us juniors paying our respects, it is really a shame for us juniors."
Yun YiLan smiled, his expression very benevolent, smiled and said, "What is virtuous nephew saying, I and your teacher uncle Reverend DaoXuan and also your father Zeng ShuChang senior brother Zeng, that is more than a hundred years of friendship, there is no need to be so courteous. How are the two of them? "
Zeng ShuShu respectfully said, "Sect head teacher uncle and my father are all well, both elders have instructed me, when we reach the southern border, I must come and pay my respects to Yun teacher uncle."
Yun YiLan laughed, nodded and said, "Ever since we parted at Qing Yun, it has been so many days in a blink, I really miss my few old friends!"
Speaking, he smiled and turned to look behind Zeng ShuShu, his eyes glanced at WenMin and then at Anan's indifferent face.
As if feeling Yun YiLan's gaze, Anan looked up, saw Yun YiLan looking at her with a smile, and beside him stood another person, his face full of complicated expression, seemed to carry a trace of a bitter smile, also looking at her, it was LiXun.
Anan was silent, slightly lowered her head.
Yun YiLan smiled, looked away, smiled and said, "Why are the few of you still standing, our two sects' relationship is not ordinary, we are already one family, quickly sit!"
Zeng ShuShu and the rest excused themselves, sat down below.
Yun YiLan then spoke to the three of them, found out that WenMin was the same as Anan, Small Bamboo Valley ShuiYue Master's disciple, asked a few more questions about ShuiYue Master's situation. WenMin answered one by one, and then, Yun YiLan spoke to Zeng ShuShu.
From the beginning to the end, he seemed to know that Anan was unwilling to speak and did not ask, Anan was also happy to relax, sat beside him without a word.
But the other FenXiang Valley disciples in the hall, including LiXun who was standing beside Yun YiLan, most of the time, intentionally or unintentionally, their gazes lingered on Anan, that lady in white like snow, under her cold temperament, seemed to have a strange magical power, made the entire hall's spotlight, quietly gathered on her.
Over there, Yun YiLan smiled and asked Zeng ShuShu, "After the battle that day, DaoXuan senior brother defeated the Beast Deity for the common people, turned the tide, his meritorious deed is immeasurable! But when I left Qing Yun, DaoXuan senior brother's injuries seemed to have not recovered, I wonder how is DaoXuan senior brother's health? He is now the leader of the Good Faction, everyone expects him! "
Zeng ShuShu smiled and replied, "Thank you Yun teacher uncle for your concern, sect head teacher uncle is well, as long as the common people can escape the calamity, Qing Yun sect suffering a little, it is nothing."
Yun YiLan's smile became even more benevolent, picked up the teacup on the tea table and took a sip, then his eyes flickered slightly, as if he suddenly thought of something, he smiled and said, "Oh right, recently I heard a rumour, it just so happens that nephew is here, I can ask you about it."
Zeng ShuShu smiled and said, "Yun teacher uncle please speak, disciple will definitely tell you everything I know."
Yun YiLan nodded, a glint flashed in his eyes again, unhurriedly said, "Recently I heard, that day of the Qing Yun battle, after DaoXuan senior brother defeated the Beast Deity evildoer, there was still a battle on Qing Yun Hill, and the final result, was the news that Qing Yun sect's supreme treasure 'Zhu Xian Ancient Sword' was actually broken and damaged, is there such a thing?"
Once the words were spoken, in that instant the entire Mountain River Hall was solemn, in an instant there was not a single sound, and Zeng ShuShu, WenMin, Lu XueQi the three of them stood up at the same time, their expressions changed, looked at Yun YiLan. And the other FenXiang Valley disciples, including LiXun, also looked at Yun YiLan in shock.
Only Yun YiLan himself seemed to be unaffected, as if what he asked was not a major matter that affected the world, but a common family matter, gently lifted the teacup, took another sip.
Then, he amiably, warmly smiled at the three Qing Yun sect disciples and asked, "That, is it true?"
In the Mountain River Hall, a deathly silence …
