Chapter 849
"Chen Xuan, Wang Kaixuan..." Qinglian murmured the two names, pondering to herself that she had never heard of them before. "I wonder which senior uncle or master in my sect they will become disciples of."
Clearly, Qinglian had just returned to the sect and was unaware of the details of some matters.
After a moment's thought, Piaoxue spoke up: "It is said that Junior Brother Chen Xuan defeated Junior Brother Haoyue in a head-on battle while the senior disciples were guarding the valley. As a result, Junior Brother Haoyue was extremely angry and came to see me personally three days ago to tell me about this."
Piaoxue's eyes were cold, and she continued calmly, "I haven't seen him, but he seems to have some connection with you, Junior Sister?"
Upon hearing Haoyue's name, Qinglian felt a headache coming on. She frowned slightly and said, "Hmph, his strength is nothing special, but his temper is quite something. He has been a disciple for several years, and not only was he defeated head-on by a new junior brother, but instead of looking for the reason himself, he tried to take his anger out on his junior brother?"
Seeing that even the usually aloof Senior Sister Piaoxue was looking at her with curiosity, Qinglian shrugged helplessly and slowly said, "My Qing clan and the Haoyue clan do have some connection. We can even trace it back to our ancestors when we were close friends and brothers."
Qinglian shook her head slightly, lost in memories. "Unfortunately, with the fall of my tribe's ancestors, our strength could not compare with that of the Haoyue Clan. The territory that originally belonged to us was gradually eroded by the Haoyue Clan. Later, my grandfather finally broke through again and became a Void Realm expert, which was enough to barely reclaim the foundation that my ancestors had built."
Senior Sister Piaoxue sat quietly, her expression focused, listening attentively to Qinglian's story.
"Later, my grandfather went to the Haoyue Clan to seek an opportunity to transcend tribulations and to train in the outer realms. He arranged a marriage between me and Haoyue Shaoqin of the Haoyue Clan among their younger generation, hoping that the two clans could live in peace for the next ten thousand years."
As Qinglian spoke, she clenched her fist slightly, her tone tinged with resentment. "But they refused my grandfather. There was nothing we could do. With each tribulation and calamity, the tribe struggled to survive, and my grandfather had no choice but to compromise. Afterward, he traversed the void to other ancient lands in search of an opportunity to transcend the tribulations."
"Originally, neither side had made a clear statement about the arranged marriage between our children. However, later, my father accidentally entered the tomb of a fallen immortal and demon during a training trip. He obtained a great opportunity and became a Void-Reversing Immortal in one fell swoop."
Qinglian shook her head gently, as if lamenting the capriciousness of fate. "In this way, my Qing clan will have two immortals to oversee it. After learning this news, the ancestor of the Haoyue clan not only returned the territory that my clan had originally ceded, but also took the initiative to propose a marriage between me and Haoyue."
"At that time, I was already eleven years old, so naturally I disagreed. But this Haoyue somehow got my portrait, and then every few days she would go to my clan under the pretense of visiting my father, but in reality she was going to see me."
A look of distress and helplessness appeared on Qinglian's face. "Although my clan has two immortals in charge, my grandfather did not annex the Haoyue clan because of his friendship and agreement with our ancestor Haoyue. This has only fueled Haoyue's pursuit of me."
Qinglian shook her head with a wry smile: "Later, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I chose to leave the tribe and travel millions of miles to Qingtian County to join Xuanqing Palace. But this Haoyue actually followed me here?" Qinglian looked at Senior Sister Piaoxue with a troubled expression and asked, "Senior Sister, what do you think you should do if you were facing someone like this?"
Senior Sister Piaoxue chuckled softly, looked at Qinglian, and slowly said, "Since you have tried to corrupt your Dao heart so many times, why didn't you kill him before he joined the sect?"
"Huh? Oh, you really mean it?" Qinglian was taken aback when she heard her senior sister's words, and then said with a worried expression, "If I had known, I would have really killed him. It's a pity that we are now fellow disciples, and the sect has rules that prohibit fellow disciples from killing each other."
Piaoxue gently shook her head, her eyes revealing a profound insight into the world: "Since the best opportunity has been missed, our future interactions will depend on your Dao heart."
"I know, it's just so annoying." Qinglian rubbed her head helplessly, looking exhausted.
"Senior Sister, Junior Sister Fengyue greets you." Just as the two were talking, a clear and melodious voice of a young woman came from high above the peak.
"Junior Sister Fengyue, come in." Piaoxue gently scanned with her divine sense and immediately sensed Junior Sister Fengyue flying in from the outside world. She then transmitted her voice through her divine sense.
"Oh, Senior Sister Qinglian is here too?" A girl dressed in a light blue Taoist robe arrived, and a happy smile immediately appeared on her face when she saw Senior Sister Qinglian.
"Junior Sister Fengyue, what brings you here in such a hurry?" Piaoxue asked softly, looking calmly at Fengyue.
"To be honest with you two senior sisters, our new junior brother, Wang Kaixuan, has already emerged from seclusion and is currently being invited by a group of senior disciples from the third generation to the Dao Proof Hall for a discussion," Junior Sister Fengyue said, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Qinglian's eyes showed a rare hint of interest, and she said with a smile, "You've returned just in time. Come on, Senior Sister Piaoxue, shall we go take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Piaoxue chuckled slightly and shook her head gently, "I'll just watch from here." She then waved her hand lightly at the void before her, and with a whoosh, a water mirror slowly appeared. The scene within the water mirror was none other than the Hall of Proof of the Dao, a place both Qinglian and Fengyue were quite familiar with.
"I can simply watch from here," Senior Sister Piaoxue said with a light smile.
"Alright, such a grand event, we naturally have to go and see for ourselves." After Qinglian finished speaking, she looked at Junior Sister Fengyue and said, "By the way, Junior Brother Wang Kaixuan has already come out of seclusion, what about Junior Brother Chen Xuan?"
Fengyue nodded and said, "I don't know, but Junior Brother Rufeng, one of the third-generation disciples, went to Beiming Peak to pay his respects yesterday. Unfortunately, the puppet steward on Beiming Peak said that Junior Brother Chen Xuan is still in seclusion in the meditation room."
Qinglian nodded slightly and couldn't help but smile, saying, "In that case, let's see if this junior brother Kaixuan has any extraordinary abilities?"
"Uh-huh."
Afterwards, Qinglian and Fengyue bid farewell to Senior Sister Piaoxue and headed straight for the Hall of Proof of the Dao, one of the four great halls of the sect.
