An opportunity.
The next morning.
Chu Xingyun ended his cultivation and walked out of the secret room.
He came to the main hall and saw Ning Lefan, Lu Ling, and the others gathered there. They were all looking at the foot of the mountain and discussing something in low voices. It seemed a bit mysterious.
When Chu Xingyun walked a few steps closer, Shi Hao immediately reacted. He bowed and said, "Disciple greets Master!"
His words shocked the others. They turned around and said in unison, "Disciple greets Master!"
Seeing everyone's panicked appearance, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but frown. He took a step out of the main hall and looked at the foot of the mountain.
In his field of vision, the seven sword steles at the foot of the mountain had all been shattered. At the third sword stele, Shui Qianyue, dressed in a blue dress, was kneeling on the ground and looking in this direction with shining eyes.
There were many Wanjian Pavilion disciples around them. Voices of discussion came out from their mouths, making the entire space quite noisy. It seemed like it was becoming more and more intense.
"What's going on?" Chu Xingyun's voice sank.
Ning Lefan, Lu Ling, and the others looked a bit embarrassed. They looked at each other and felt that it was difficult to speak. In the end, Xia Qingcheng said, "Last night, after you returned to the courtyard, Shui Qianyue has been kneeling at the foot of the Sword Master Peak. During this time, I also tried to persuade her, but she ignored me."
"Kneeling for an entire night?" Chu Xingyun's brows tightened even more. Then, he took a step forward and disappeared from where he was.
At this moment, at the foot of the Sword Master Peak.
More and more Wanjian Pavilion disciples gathered here.
Although they didn't know what had happened, these disciples weren't stupid. When they saw the third sword stele shatter, they had countless guesses in their hearts.
These voices of discussion spread in all directions. Not long after, the entire space was filled with Wanjian Pavilion disciples. There were even many deacons and elders who came after hearing the news.
However, these voices of discussion didn't affect Shui Qianyue. She continued to kneel like this without moving or speaking. Her eyes were fixed in front of her with only determination and determination.
"Is there any meaning in kneeling here?" A voice rolled over. It was so clear that it immediately made the surrounding people stop talking and subconsciously look towards the source of the voice.
Shui Qianyue's body trembled as she raised her head, only to see Chu Xingyun descending from the air. His pitch-black eyes were still filled with coldness, as though he was trying to push people a thousand miles away.
"If I don't kneel here, will you see me?" After kneeling for a long time, Shui Qianyue's face was full of exhaustion. However, she immediately pulled a smile and asked Chu Xingyun.....
Chu Xingyun's expression turned cold. He said coldly, "Last night, I made it very clear. Even if you break the third sword stele, I won't accept you as my disciple. This won't change even if you kneel down at the Swordmaster's Peak."
At this moment, Ning Lefan, Lu Qingxuan and the others landed. When they heard this, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Chu Xingyun's attitude was very unyielding. There was almost no way to change it.
Even though she was mentally prepared, Shui Qianyue couldn't help but tremble when she heard Chu Xingyun's words.
She took a deep breath and continued to ask, "Can I ask Luo Yun Sword Master to tell me the reason?"
"When the seven sword steles were set up, Luo Yun Sword Master said that as long as someone broke the sword steles, regardless of cultivation or status, he would be accepted as a personal disciple. So why are you unwilling to accept me?"
Chu Xingyun was speechless when he heard this.
He had indeed said these words.
Helplessly, he couldn't say the reason why he rejected Shui Qianyue's offer. If he did, his true identity might be exposed, and he might even be killed in the process.
Feeling Shui Qianyue's determination, Chu Xingyun's heart turned cold. He immediately retracted his gaze and prepared to leave.
Just as he turned around, Shui Qianyue's voice sounded again, "If Luo Yun Sword Master is unwilling to explain, I will kneel here until you give me an answer!"
"Are you threatening me?" Chu Xingyun suddenly turned around. As he spoke, a cold aura emanated from his body, causing everyone present to shiver. They felt as if an invisible sword was hanging above his head and would descend at any moment.
That cold intent enveloped Shui Qianyue, causing her body to tremble even more violently. However, she clenched her teeth tightly and said word by word, "I only want a chance, that's all."
Thump!
Her words were like a giant hammer, causing Chu Xingyun's heart to tremble slightly. He took a deep look at Shui Qianyue and still didn't say anything. Then, he flew up the Swordmaster Peak without looking back.
After Chu Xingyun left, the cold aura gradually dissipated into nothingness. The surrounding people relaxed and immediately gasped for breath. They felt as if they had just survived a disaster.
Then, they didn't dare to stay there for long. They scattered like birds and beasts and fled the place.
Soon, what had happened at the foot of the Swordmaster Peak spread throughout the Wanjian Pavilion.
In an instant, everyone cast curious gazes.
They all knew that with Chu Xingyun's personality, he was a man of his word.
When Ning Lefan and Lu Ling broke the Sword Stele, he didn't hesitate to accept them as his personal disciples. He even gave them the precious Jiuxuan Yang Elixir and gave them guidance.
But now, in the face of Shui Qianyue, who had also broken the Sword Stele, Chu Xingyun refused and didn't give any explanation. This made people's imaginations run wild.
In the face of these doubts, Chu Xingyun didn't explain and directly ignored them.
At the foot of the Swordmaster Peak, Shui Qianyue knelt as usual. She didn't make a fuss or say anything. She was like a rock, so firm that it shocked people.
Time passed bit by bit.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
The disorderly sounds of discussion had vanished a long time ago, and the crowd had gradually lost their curiosity towards this matter and returned to their dull and arduous lives of cultivation once more.
On this day, the sun hung high in the sky, shining light and heat to its heart's content.
Shui Qianyue, who knelt at the foot of the Swordmaster Peak, no longer had her usual beauty. Her entire face was as pale as a sheet of paper. Her lips were white and her eyes were hollow. She was like a withered sapling that would fall at any time.
"Master has made up her mind. What you're doing is futile." Lu Qingxuan stood in front of Shui Qianyue. Her body radiated a resplendent light as she prepared to help Shui Qianyue up. But who would have thought that even before that resplendent light descended, Shui Qianyue had already rejected it.
"I appreciate Senior Apprentice Sister Lu's good intentions. Please go back." Shui Qianyue's voice was very weak, but she stared at the Swordmaster Peak without wavering.
"But if you continue like this, your body will eventually …" Lu Qingxuan was very worried about Shui Qianyue's body. But before she could finish her words, Shui Qianyue, who was kneeling on the ground, collapsed without warning.
Lu Qingxuan's expression changed. She immediately supported Shui Qianyue with a bitter smile.
She could clearly sense that Shui Qianyue's body had reached its limit. Her spirit sea was also completely exhausted. If she continued to kneel, it would damage her foundation and cause irreparable damage.
"Why do you have to do this?" Lu Qingxuan let out a long sigh. She was just about to float Shui Qianyue up when a figure appeared without warning and landed in front of her.
It was Chu Xingyun.
His eyes were no longer as cold as before. He stared at the unconscious Shui Qianyue with a trace of helplessness. He slowly said, "Take her to the Swordmaster Peak."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, Lu Qingxuan's face surged with excitement. She thought that Chu Xingyun had already acknowledged Shui Qianyue.
But in the next instant, Chu Xingyun's voice sounded again.
He said,
