Not Paying Much Attention
On the morning of the second day, Chu Xingyun finished washing up and walked towards the outer sect.
Due to the difference in the grade of sword intent, the ninety thousand ordinary disciples were divided into the inner and outer sects. Therefore, their cultivation grounds weren't in the same place, but were divided into two regions.
The inner sect disciples' sword intent was of a higher grade, so their cultivation grounds were closer to the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, where the spiritual energy was more vigorous. On the other hand, the outer sect disciples' sword intent was of a lower grade, so they were divided into the outer region of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, and had fewer cultivation resources.
Chu Xingyun wasn't surprised by this.
The True Spirit Continent had always respected martial arts, and the Wanjian Pavilion was no exception.
As he walked forward, Chu Xingyun met many Wanjian Pavilion disciples. When they saw Chu Xingyun, they all bowed respectfully. Even the True Disciples were no exception.
However, these disciples had different expressions. Some were envious, some were jealous, some were disdainful, and some were unwilling.
Although Chu Xingyun was already the Honorary Sword Master, he had only been in the Wanjian Pavilion for a few days. His actions weren't outstanding, and he didn't have much of a presence.
Therefore, when they saw Chu Xingyun, they only greeted him symbolically, and didn't feel any reverence.
Chu Xingyun didn't mind, and continued to walk towards the outer sect.
Just as he left the inner sect, Chu Xingyun suddenly heard a familiar voice, "Greetings, Luo Yun Sword Master!"
This voice was very clear and crisp. It belonged to a woman.
The newcomer was naturally Xia Qingcheng.
She swept over from the side like a nimble butterfly, leaving behind a dazzling halo in the void. A faint smile hung on her lips as she slowly landed in front of Chu Xingyun.
"You're also here to mock me?" Chu Xingyun's face suddenly sank.
Xia Qingcheng hurriedly waved her hand and replied, "You are now the high and mighty Honorary Sword Master, while I am just an ordinary disciple. There is a great disparity between our statuses, so how would I dare to make fun of you?"
Seeing Xia Qingcheng's flustered look, Chu Xingyun smiled faintly and said slowly, "What I said just now was just a casual remark. Don't tell me you took it seriously?"
Xia Qingcheng's expression froze as she glared at Chu Xingyun. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Chu Xingyun say, "I've been busy familiarizing myself with the Wanjian Pavilion these past few days and haven't been out much. However, I heard from Swordmaster Changqing that he wants to take you as his disciple?"
After soaking in the Sword-cleansing Pool, Xia Qingcheng condensed the Illusory Butterfly Sword Intent, which was at the sixth level.
With such talent, he was already qualified to become the Sword Master's disciple.
"There is indeed such a thing." Xia Qingcheng nodded and said, "But I didn't agree."
She paused and continued, "Taking a Master is not a casual matter. Once it is decided, it cannot be changed at will. The situation in the Wanjian Pavilion is so complicated, so I decided to wait and see."
Chu Xingyun nodded to show that he understood. With Xia Qingcheng's talent, it would not be difficult for her to become a true disciple. At that time, it would not be impossible for her to consider taking a Master.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Xingyun said, "Miss Xia, move to my place."
"Ah?"
Xia Qingcheng was shocked. Her whole face turned red and her heart beat violently. She confirmed again, "You want me to move to your Swordmaster Peak?"
"I have just become the Honorary Swordmaster, so there is no popularity in the peak. You and I are friends, so it is natural for me to bring you here. More importantly, the Swordmaster Peak has a better cultivation environment, so it is convenient for me to guide you."
As he spoke, Chu Xingyun saw that Xia Qingcheng did not respond. He could not help but ask, "You are not willing?"
"I am willing, of course I am willing!" Xia Qingcheng nodded repeatedly. She looked very excited, but she quickly suppressed her excitement and pretended to be calm. "Since Swordmaster Luo Yun has spoken, as a disciple, I naturally cannot refuse."
Chu Xingyun's smile deepened. "This matter is settled. You can go directly to the Swordmaster Peak and live in whichever courtyard you like."
"Okay!" Xia Qingcheng nodded vigorously. She changed the topic and asked, "You are not going back to the Swordmaster Peak?"
"I just came out and am preparing to make a trip to the outer sect. Yesterday, I already gave the order to gather all the outer sect disciples so that I can make arrangements."
As soon as Chu Xingyun finished speaking, Xia Qingcheng frowned and asked doubtfully, "I just went to the outer sect. Why have I never heard of this before?"
In an instant, Chu Xingyun's face darkened. His figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
Xia Qingcheng did not stay idle. She moved and followed Chu Xingyun's footsteps. The two of them quickly rushed to the outer sect.
After leaving the inner sect, a long valley appeared in front of them. There was a tall mountain in the valley. On the mountain, there were countless pavilions. This was the administrative area of the outer sect.
Chu Xingyun directly descended on the mountain peak. There was a majestic palace there. There were many outer sect deacons coming and going. There were more than forty of them.
The leader of this group of deacons was about thirty years old. He was tall and sturdy and had an ugly face. His eyes were filled with ferocity, making people not dare to approach him.
This person was called Mo Chengyun. Chu Xingyun's order was issued by him.
"Mo Chengyun greets the Luo Yun Sword Master!" When Mo Chengyun saw Chu Xingyun arrive, he immediately walked forward. Not only was there no reverence in his eyes, there was also a trace of frivolity.
"Yesterday, I asked you to gather the outer sect disciples. Why haven't I seen them yet?" Chu Xingyun did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
"There are a lot of outer sect disciples. There are more than seventy thousand people. In just one day, it is impossible to gather all of them. Moreover, those outer sect disciples are arrogant. No matter what I say, they will ignore me." Mo Chengyun sighed and did not answer Chu Xingyun's question. Instead, he pushed the responsibility to the outer sect disciples.
Xia Qingcheng raised her eyebrows and shouted: "Deacon Mo, you have guts. You dare to deceive the Luo Yun Sword Master. Yesterday, you did not gather the outer sect disciples at all, nor did you issue an order!"
Mo Chengyun's face changed.
He first glared at Xia Qingcheng, then patted his head and pretended to be enlightened: "So I never issued an order. No wonder I always felt that I was negligent. How about this, I will gather the outer sect disciples now. Tomorrow, Luo Yun Sword Master, you can come again."
"No need to trouble yourself." Chu Xingyun waved his hand and directly sat down. He said coldly: "I will give you an hour to gather seventy thousand outer sect disciples. If one person is missing, I will hold you responsible."
Mo Chengyun's eyes were filled with anger as he replied: "An hour to gather seventy thousand outer sect disciples. How is that possible?"
"This is an order!" Chu Xingyun's voice was completely cold. With one shout, the entire space became incomparably solid: "What? You, a little deacon, dare to disobey my order? "
Mo Chengyun's face twitched. His face was extremely colorful, green and white for a while.
At this time, a cold and mocking voice was heard: "You have only become the Luo Yun Sword Master for a few days and you are already so impressive. Luo Yun Sword Master is indeed extraordinary."
Following this voice, a middle-aged man walked out from behind.
This person was wearing the outer sect elder's robes. His face was thin and his facial features were ordinary. He did not seem to be afraid of Chu Xingyun at all. On his face, there was a cold and mocking smile.
Chu Xingyun had a rough understanding of the outer sect, so he quickly recognized the person's identity.
His name was Qi Yue, and he was the outer sect elder. He had been in the outer sect for more than ten years, and his cultivation was at the first sky of the Sky Spirit Realm. His methods were smooth, and he had won over many deacons and elders in the outer sect. His power was not small.
Most importantly, this Qi Yue came from the Qi Family, and was personally promoted by Qi Yangchen.
Seeing Qi Yue appear here, Chu Xingyun completely understood. The entire matter should be controlled by the internal affairs faction.
Qi Yue came in front of Chu Xingyun and scanned him up and down before saying: "Seventy thousand outer sect disciples is a large number. If you want to gather them all, it will take at least a day. Even if Luo Yun Sword Master speaks, you will not be able to shorten this time."
"Moreover, these outer sect disciples do not have high talent. Their future achievements will be limited. Even if you gather them all, what's the use? I advise Luo Yun Sword Master not to cause too much trouble. After all, in the end, there won't be much."
The mocking and ridiculing voice reached Chu Xingyun's ears word for word.
Qi Yue's words were very simple. He was not willing to listen to Chu Xingyun's arrangements. He even said that Chu Xingyun's actions were all in vain.
What was even more infuriating was that these words were said in front of Chu Xingyun.
