The leaders of the various forces that had gathered at the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain had already dispersed. However, they did not leave just like that. Instead, they settled down in various places of the Wanjian Pavilion.
Chu Xingyun held the memorial service for two reasons. Firstly, it was to pay respects to the deceased and to appease the people. Secondly, it was to make a show of strength to deter the leaders of the various forces from rebelling and to stabilize the rule of the Wanjian Pavilion.
As for the third reason, it was to take this opportunity to allow the Wanjian Pavilion to develop steadily. After all, the entire Northern Wilderness Region was extremely vast. There were hundreds of thousands of cities, countless forces, and tens of billions of people. If he could control all these forces, the development of the Wanjian Pavilion would definitely increase.
Of course, Chu Xingyun did not have to deal with these complicated matters personally. Everything was handed over to Xia Qingcheng, Qin Yuyan, and the others. In this aspect, their talents were not inferior to Chu Xingyun.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Bone-chilling wind whistled and enveloped the entire Ten Thousand Swords Mountain. The cold frost froze the ground and caused everything to fall into a deep sleep. However, if one were to carefully sense it, one would find that this silent silver-white world was filled with hidden vitality everywhere.
Chu Xingyun stood in the pavilion. He looked at the silver-white snowy scenery before him and a trace of determination appeared in his eyes. He murmured, "Another year of winter has passed and spring has come."
There was a deeper meaning in his words. Chu Xingyun smiled faintly. He raised his head and poured a mouthful of bitter liquor down his throat. His originally pale and sickly face was faintly flushed. The light in his eyes was also incomparably determined.
"Master, you've drunk again." At this time, Shui Qianyue walked out of the courtyard. She saw the liquor pot in Chu Xingyun's hand and could not help but frown her beautiful eyebrows.
Chu Xingyun turned his head to look at Shui Qianyue and changed the topic. "Has Wuyi fallen asleep?"
"She has fallen asleep." Shui Qianyue sighed inwardly. With light steps, she slowly walked over to Chu Xingyun. "However, even when she fell asleep, she still unintentionally murmured the two words' mother '. After all, we are mother and daughter. Perhaps there is some sort of connection between us."
After saying that, Shui Qianyue sighed again.
Shui Qianyue had looked at the lonely Chu Wuyi at the summit of the Nine Cold Mountain and couldn't bear it. She had personally carried her back to the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain and cared for her attentively.
She had treated Chu Wu Yi as her own daughter for the past year. She had never scolded or beaten her. She had always doted on her. However, she was not Ye Qianhan. She could not replace her mother's position.
"Thank you for your hard work in the past year," Chu Xingyun said gratefully when he saw the helplessness in Shui Qianyue's eyes.
"There is no need to be so formal between us. Moreover, I like Wuyi from the bottom of my heart." Shui Qianyue's burning gaze met Chu Xingyun's. She stared deeply into Chu Xingyun's eyes. She seemed to be struggling in her heart. Her two small hands clenched tightly.
After a while, Shui Qianyue took a deep breath and continued. "Master, Qianyue has a request. I wonder if you can agree to it?"
Chu Xingyun was surprised at first. He did not say anything and quietly waited for Shui Qianyue to continue.
Shui Qianyue saw that Chu Xingyun was silent and felt even more nervous. She said slowly, word by word, "I want to return the Black Tortoise Sword Intent in my body to Master. I hope that Master will agree."
Whoosh!
The moment she finished speaking, Shui Qianyue felt her whole body relax. It was as if a huge stone on her chest had finally been removed. Even her breathing became smoother. Her pair of blue eyes looked to the ground, as if she did not dare to look directly at Chu Xingyun.
"Okay." Just when Shui Qianyue was in a dilemma, Chu Xingyun suddenly replied. Shui Qianyue was so shocked that she jerked her head up. Chu Xingyun actually agreed. Moreover, he agreed so straightforwardly.
"You have the Nine-tailed Fairy Fox Wu Ling. You have countless inheritances. Even I can't see through the aura on your body. In the future, you will definitely reach the peak of martial arts. It is already very difficult to cultivate this path. If you divide your attention to cultivate the Black Tortoise Sword Intent, it will inevitably affect you."
Chu Xingyun walked towards Shui Qianyue. As he walked, he said, "Moreover, compared to the Black Tortoise Sword Intent, the Nine-tailed Fairy Fox Wu Ling is stronger and more suitable for you. This sword intent should indeed be separated."
At the end of his words, Chu Xingyun had already walked in front of Shui Qianyue. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Shui Qianyue's forehead. A ray of blue sword light blossomed and soared into the sky. It condensed into a huge shadow of the Black Tortoise in the void.
"Go!"
Chu Xingyun flicked his finger. The shadow of the Black Tortoise immediately let out a high-pitched howl. As the howl trembled, the shadow of the Black Tortoise continuously condensed and shrank. Finally, it turned into an ancient sword stele wrapped in a blue brilliance. It rapidly descended towards the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.
A rumbling sound rang out. When the sword stele touched the ground, the earth shook violently.
The Black Tortoise Sword Intent had been separated and the Water Sword Stele had been erected once more.
The earth-shaking commotion caused the howling wind and snow to freeze. Countless people rushed out from various parts of the 10,000 Swords Pavilion. They stared at this scene in shock, confusion, and astonishment. "The sword stele has been erected once more. In the following period of time, countless people will definitely come to break the stele. When the Water Sword Intent reaches the seventh level, it will be able to break the stele. The Black Tortoise Sword Intent will also be passed on to that person. As for the guidance and explanation, I'll leave it to you." Chu Xingyun did not look at Wan Shan.
At the foot of the sword mountain, he quickly retracted his gaze and looked towards Shui Qianyue once more.
Shui Qianyue was still immersed in the shock from before. When she felt Chu Xingyun's gaze, she suddenly came back to her senses. She hurriedly said, "Okay, I know how to deal with this."
Chu Xingyun smiled and nodded. He picked up the flagon and discovered that Shui Qianyue was still staring at him. Her hands that were hidden in her sleeves clenched even tighter. Her breathing became erratic.
"Is there anything else?" Chu Xingyun asked. His words caused Shui Qianyue's eyes to suddenly focus and her red lips to open slightly.
In fact, the most important reason why Shui Qianyue returned the Black Tortoise Sword Intent was not because she looked down on it, nor was it because it would affect the cultivation of the nine-tailed fairy fox Wu Ling.
The real reason why she returned the Black Tortoise Sword Intent was that she did not want to continue being Chu Xingyun's disciple. She did not want to be by Chu Xingyun's side and call him "Master".
Shui Qianyue's deep love for Chu Xingyun was still there. She only wanted to be Chu Xingyun's lover.
Even if Shui Liu Xiang had left and Ye Qianhan had given birth to Chu Wuyi, Shui Qianyue still wanted to be the person by Chu Xingyun's side. No matter what he did, no matter what situation he was in, Shui Qianyue's heart would not change.
