Ye Qingqing glanced at the silent little girl but said nothing more.
Ye Xuan walked up to the girl and smiled, “What’s your name?”
The girl looked up at Ye Xuan, “My master always called me Xiao Jing.”
Xiao Jing.
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, smiling, “Then Xiao Jing it is.”
He took her hand, “Come with me to Guanxuan Academy.”
He felt it was necessary to bring this prodigy to Guanxuan Academy for proper training.
The academy lacked not only funds but also talent. Running an academy required plenty of capable people, both administrators and fighters, neither of which could be lacking.
At that moment, Xiao Jing suddenly said, “Can you take me to a place?”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “Where?”
Xiao Jing replied, “I don’t know.”
Ye Xuan was stunned.
Xiao Jing explained, “There’s a scene in my mind, but I don’t know where it is. A voice keeps telling me to go there. I asked my master to take me before, and he said he would, but he died before he could.”
Her expression turned somber.
Ye Xuan turned to Ye Qingqing, who stepped forward, placed her hand on Xiao Jing’s head, and said, “Close your eyes and think of the place you want to go.”
Xiao Jing nodded slightly, then slowly closed her eyes.
Moments later, Ye Qingqing frowned.
Ye Xuan quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ye Qingqing gave Xiao Jing a deep look, then waved her sleeve, and a scene appeared before the three of them.
It was an unknown world, and at its center stood an ancient tree, millions of feet tall, reaching deep into the starry sky. Surrounding the tree were thousands of stunning women in white dresses, each holding a golden spear, exuding a heroic aura.
Suddenly, at the top of the ancient tree, the leading white-robed woman opened her eyes, “How dare you spy on the Divine Realm.”
Her ancient voice pierced through countless cosmic rivers, reaching the star domain where Ye Xuan stood. The powerful force shattered the star rivers it passed, terrifyingly so.
Seeing this immense power, Ye Xuan’s face changed instantly.
At that moment, Ye Qingqing’s expression turned cold. She stepped forward and slashed her sword fiercely.
Boom!
The entire starry universe was torn apart.
Above the ancient tree, the white-robed woman frowned, looking up at the cosmos. Her gaze soon pierced through the starry rivers, landing on Ye Qingqing.
Ye Qingqing, expressionless, said, “What are you staring at?”
With that, she flung her sword.
Whoosh!
The Taiyou Sword pierced through the starry river, reaching the top of the ancient tree. Seeing this, the white-robed woman’s pupils shrank. She shouted, “How impudent.”
She gripped her spear and soared upward to meet the sword.
Boom!
Suddenly, a burst of sword light erupted from the top of the tree. The white-robed woman plummeted straight down, hitting the ground in an instant. The sword didn’t stop, continuing its descent.
Seeing this, the surrounding white-dressed women’s faces changed. They threw their spears, and nearly a thousand golden beams surged, engulfing the black sword.
Boom!
A deafening explosion rang out, and a burst of sword light erupted. The black sword pierced straight into the ground.
Rumble!
The entire earth collapsed, the ancient tree trembled violently, and the next moment, the black sword soared upward, carrying the white-robed woman’s head, disappearing from the sight of the white-dressed women.
In an instant, the black sword, with the woman’s head, appeared before Ye Xuan and the others.
Ye Qingqing stepped forward and kicked the bloodied head, “Go to hell.”
Boom!
The head flew off into the distance.
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
Xiao Jing glanced at Ye Qingqing, then edged closer to Ye Xuan.
She felt that speaking so boldly to this Ye girl during their first meeting had been far too risky.
Ye Xuan was somewhat embarrassed.
Each of these Qing’ers had a different temper, but this one’s was explosive beyond measure.
A walking powder keg, igniting at the slightest spark.
Plain Skirt Destiny’s temper wasn’t great either, but she was often gentle. Of course, when she acted, it was different. If she struck, it was to wipe out her opponent entirely.
None of them were to be messed with.
Each one more volatile than the last.
Qingqiu was better.
She was often willing to reason with others.
Ye Qingqing turned to Xiao Jing, who hesitated, then said, “I can apologise for what I said earlier. Sorry.”
She gave a slight bow.
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile.
This girl was scared of Qing’er.
Ye Qingqing said calmly, “I accept your apology.”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Xiao Jing quickly nodded, “Alright, alright.”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “Girl, is the place you want us to go the one with the tree?”
Xiao Jing nodded, “Yes.”
Ye Xuan asked gravely, “Do you know what that place is?”
Xiao Jing shook her head, “No. I just know I need to go there.”
Ye Xuan turned to Ye Qingqing, who said calmly, “Let’s go.”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why?”
Ye Qingqing replied, “I don’t like them.”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Xiao Jing quickly nodded, “Go. Beat them up.”
Ye Xuan looked at Xiao Jing, “Aren’t you afraid they’re your people?”
Xiao Jing hesitated, then said, “Who cares? Beat them first, then talk.”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
This girl had some guts.
Ye Qingqing said, “They attacked me just now. I’ve sensed their location. Let’s go.”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Alright, let’s take a look.”
If it was just him, he’d hold off and bide his time.
But with Qing’er, things were different.
He could do whatever he wanted.
Soon, the three set off for the mysterious place.
During their journey through space and time, Ye Xuan looked at Xiao Jing, “Did your master teach you to cultivate?”
Xiao Jing nodded, “He did.”
Ye Xuan was curious, “How did he teach you?”
Xiao Jing said, “He gave me a technique book, then he died.”
Her expression turned somber, “I think I need to revenge him later.”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Good.”
Xiao Jing looked at Ye Xuan, “What should I call you?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Call me Brother from now on.”
Xiao Jing nodded, “Alright, Brother.”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile. This girl really had no reservations.
Ye Qingqing glanced at Xiao Jing but said nothing.
Soon, they arrived in an unknown starry sky but stopped. In the distance stood a black-robed old man.
Blocking their path?
Such audacity.
The old man glanced at Ye Xuan and Ye Qingqing, his gaze finally landing on Xiao Jing, growing intense.
Ye Qingqing looked at the old man, her expression calm.
The old man smiled, “You’re Xiao Jing, right?”
Xiao Jing nodded.
The old man smiled, “I’m from the Dao Gate. Your master sent me to fetch you. Come with me.”
Master?
Xiao Jing was puzzled, “Didn’t my master already die?”
The old man smiled faintly, “He did. But before he died, he informed us. So we came to take you to the Dao Gate, where you’ll have an even greater master.”
Xiao Jing hesitated, then said, “I’m already with Brother.”
She pointed at Ye Qingqing, “How about you fight this pretty sister? Whoever wins, I’ll go with them.”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
This girl was a bit sly.
Hearing Xiao Jing, the old man turned to Ye Qingqing, sizing her up. His brows furrowed.
He couldn’t see through her true strength.
But he wasn’t fazed.
The old man sneered, “Girl, this child belongs to the Dao Gate. I’m taking her now. Any objections?”
Ye Qingqing said calmly, “Yes.”
The old man stared at her, “Don’t be ungrateful.”
Ye Qingqing suddenly vanished.
The old man’s pupils shrank. He clenched his fist and swung, his immense power making the starry river boil.
Terrifying.
But the next moment, a sword pierced through his brow.
Boom!
The old man was pinned in place by the black sword, unable to move.
He froze, his face full of disbelief, “This…”
Ye Qingqing said calmly, “Weak.”
The old man was speechless.
Xiao Jing glanced at him, hesitated, then said, “Old man, I can’t go with you. Safe travels.”
The old man was speechless.
Ye Xuan said, “Let’s go.”
As the three were about to leave, the old man suddenly shouted, “I’m from the Dao Gate. The Dao Gate.”
Ye Xuan looked at him, “Don’t you know who I am?”
The old man glared at Ye Xuan, “Do you know who I am? I’m from the Dao Gate. Ever heard of the Master of the Great Dao Pen?”
Ye Xuan opened his palm, revealing the Great Dao Pen.
The old man froze, “Why’s that thing with you?”
Thing?
The Great Dao Pen was speechless.
Ye Xuan said calmly, “You don’t know who I am?”
The old man stared at Ye Xuan, “Who are you?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Ye Xuan.”
The old man frowned, “Ye Xuan? Never heard of you.”
Ye Xuan turned to Ye Qingqing, “Kill him.”
Ye Qingqing waved her sleeve.
Boom!
The old man’s body and soul were obliterated.
The old man was speechless.
