Unwilling to accept
The sudden change in the atmosphere left everyone dumbstruck.
The azure figure's delicate body trembled. She looked at Chu Xingyun with a hint of bewilderment. Her red lips opened slightly, but she couldn't make the slightest sound.
She could clearly feel that Chu Xingyun's pitch-black eyes revealed a trace of coldness. It was extremely cold, like a biting cold wind that wanted to keep her a thousand li away.
"Master, this woman's name is Shui Qianyue." At this moment, Shi Hao spoke in a low voice, breaking the silence of this place.
He bowed slightly and slowly said, "During the time you were at the Ten Thousand Sword Palace, she successfully broke through the third sword stele. As such, we followed your orders and brought her into the Sword Master Peak."
"My impression of Qian Yue is quite deep." Xia Qingcheng walked over and said with a smile, "It has already been several months since you established the seven sword steles. During this time, Qian Yue would come to the Sword Master Peak every day to try and break through the third sword stele. Sometimes, she would even cultivate quietly under the sword stele."
"Today, she finally got what she wanted and successfully broke through the third sword stele. She was overjoyed at the unexpected good news, so her actions were inevitably a bit abrupt. Please don't take it to heart."
Seeing Chu Xingyun's strange expression, Xia Qingcheng thought that he was angry at Shui Qianyue's sudden appearance.
After she finished speaking, Ning Lefan, Lu Ling, and the others' expressions also eased a bit. It was clear that they also recognized Shui Qianyue. They knew that the latter had bitterly trained for several months in order to break through the third sword stele.
This was especially true for Ning Lefan.
He had joked with Chu Xingyun before, saying that Shui Qianyue had a high chance of breaking through the third sword stele and becoming one of Chu Xingyun's personal disciples.
Now, the joke became true. This made him laugh even more happily.
However, right now, Chu Xingyun's gaze was still extremely cold. From start to finish, he didn't say a single word. This made the atmosphere that had eased up with great difficulty once again become tense.
He stared intently at Shui Qianyue, and after a few moments of silence, he coldly said, "You can go back now."
"Hmm?"
Shui Qianyue's eyes narrowed and her expression stiffened. She said angrily, "Master, what do you mean?"
Everyone was equally astonished. The scene before them was completely different from what they had expected.
"Although you have broken through the third sword tablet, I have never acknowledged your existence nor have I accepted you as my personal disciple. Therefore, I am not your master." Chu Xingyun's tone was also very cold. He said indifferently, "As for what I said, it's very simple. Go back to where you came from. My Sword Master Peak can't accommodate you."
After saying that, Chu Xingyun stepped forward and passed by Shui Qianyue.
It was also at this moment that Shui Qianyue's pupils contracted. Her graceful figure that stood in the night wind couldn't help but tremble. The cold voice continuously echoed in her mind.
Xia Qingcheng, Yun Changqing, and the others were also frightened by these words.
They were confused.
Shi Hao, Ning Lefan, and the others all broke through the sword monument. Chu Xingyun didn't hesitate at all and directly accepted them as his personal disciples. However, as for Shui Qianyue, he directly rejected her.
Xiu!
At this moment, Shui Qianyue's figure flashed and blocked in front of Chu Xingyun.
Her eyes flickered with sparkling light. She bowed and lowered her head. With a bit of unwillingness, she said, "Dare I ask the Luo Yun Sword Master why you are unwilling to accept me as your disciple? Did I do something wrong?"
It was just as Xia Qingcheng said. From the moment Chu Xingyun established the sword tablet, Shui Qianyue stood guard in front of the third sword tablet.
Her thoughts were simple. She only wanted to break through the sword tablet and become Chu Xingyun's disciple, shortening the distance between the two of them.
At this moment, she successfully broke through the third sword tablet, but the result she received was a rejection. She was naturally unwilling. She wanted to obtain an answer from Chu Xingyun's mouth.
"Let's go back." A calm voice sounded from Chu Xingyun's mouth. He still didn't give Shui Qianyue another look. His steps didn't stop, descending towards the courtyard below.
When everyone saw this, they didn't dare to say anything.
They looked at Shui Qianyue and sighed inwardly. Then, they left one after another, returning to their own residences.
Soon, Shui Qianyue was the only one left in the silent night sky.
She was still bowing and maintaining her previous posture. The only difference was that her body was trembling non-stop. Sparkling tears streamed down her cheeks and eventually disappeared into the night sky.
After Chu Xingyun returned to the courtyard, he went straight to the secret cultivation room.
He didn't enter the cultivation state. Instead, he frowned and sighed. "I didn't expect Shui Qianyue to successfully break through the water sword tablet after a few months!"
Back when Chu Xingyun took over the outer sect, he used a spying technique to roughly find out about the Sword Principle talent of seventy thousand outer sect disciples.
At that time, Chu Xingyun discovered that Shui Qianyue was skilled in the Water Sword Intent. Its grade was so high that it had reached the ninth level.
This was why Shui Qianyue could resonate with the water sword tablet and make Ning Lefan feel a sense of suppression when she tried to break through the tablet for the first time.
Water was supposed to restrain fire.
Moreover, Shui Qianyue's Water Sword Intent had reached the ninth level. Although it hadn't been awakened, it could still suppress Ning Lefan.
However, there were two conditions to break through the sword tablet.
First, the grade of the Sword Intent had to be above the seventh level.
Second, the Sword Principle realm had to reach the first level of One with the Sword.
Shui Qianyue's Sword Intent met the first condition. However, her Sword Principle realm was too low. She hadn't even reached the threshold, so she couldn't break through the third sword tablet.
To Chu Xingyun's surprise, Shui Qianyue's perseverance was too shocking. She had been trying to break through the tablet for several months. Moreover, she had comprehended something and reached the first level.
"Those who possess the ninth level Sword Intent are all geniuses in the Sword Principle. If they can be guided well, their future achievements will be immeasurable. Unfortunately, that person is Shui Qianyue." Chu Xingyun sighed again. His voice was filled with helplessness.
In the entire Wanjian Pavilion, apart from Shui Qianyue, Baili Kuangsheng was the only one who possessed the ninth level Sword Intent.
Everyone knew that Baili Kuangsheng was talented. In the future, he could even replace Fan Wujie as the Pavilion Master of Wanjian Pavilion. He could control the Eighteen Dynasties and billions of warriors.
If Chu Xingyun accepted Shui Qianyue and taught her carefully, her future achievements wouldn't be below Baili Kuangsheng's.
However, Chu Xingyun would never accept Shui Qianyue.
This wasn't to say that Chu Xingyun was vengeful.
Back when the Imperial City was besieged, he had drawn a clear line between himself and Shui Qianyue. There was no more enmity between them. Even if they met again, he didn't curse or target her.
The reason why he had rejected Shui Qianyue was because of Shui Qianyue's personality. Chu Xingyun couldn't agree with this point.
After all, no one wanted to see the person they had taught carefully become an ingrate in the end.
Chu Xingyun was the same.
After a while, Chu Xingyun threw these distracting thoughts to the back of his mind.
