505: Palace Master Liu Ruqing

Shen Tianxing pondered slightly, not agreeing immediately.

As an Immortal Great Sect, Dianxing Academy naturally had its unique aspects and was a Holy Land for Cultivation that many Cultivators yearned for. However, for Shen Tianxing, Dianxing Academy's help to him was limited.

He could completely spend this time traveling around the Four Domains. With his strength, no one was his opponent. To improve himself, he had to constantly kill experts.

Having experience points was more useful than anything else.

"I won't be going to Dianxing Academy. Now is not the time."

Before Shi Linglong could speak, Shen Tianxing raised his hand and continued, "You've been out for so long; it's time you went back to see them. The journey I'm about to embark on will be very perilous and full of challenges."

"Yan Yuzhu will travel the Four Domains with me. The others will go with you to Dianxing Academy. With the foundation of your Academy, it will be of greater help to them now."

Shen Tianxing did not plan to go, but the other women could be arranged to go to Dianxing Academy.

Upon hearing this, Shi Linglong was a bit displeased. She truly wanted Shen Tianxing to go to Dianxing Academy with her. Besides seeing her grandfather, she also intended to let her family know about their relationship.

The other women heard this and did not refuse. With their strength, staying by Shen Tianxing's side was actually not very helpful. Shen Tianxing also said that the upcoming journey would be full of risks. Instead of following him, it would be better to calmly Cultivate at Dianxing Academy.

Only by continuously improving their Cultivation could they avoid holding Shen Tianxing back in the future, allowing him to have no worries.

"Big Brother Shen is right. We really should seclude ourselves and Cultivate properly. Linglong, you wouldn't not welcome us, would you?"

"You're the local expert at Dianxing Academy. For the time being, we'll have to rely on you to take care of us."

Xingyao said with a smile, a hint of teasing in her words. She was indirectly helping Shen Tianxing out of a difficult situation.

Shi Linglong pouted and said, "That's not true at all! I'm delighted you can come. As long as I'm there, your Cultivation will definitely advance further."

She truly had the right to say this. As Shi Sanyuan's granddaughter, a simple spoiled request from Shi Linglong could bring enough experts to guide the women in their Cultivation.

Liu Xianyun still kept her head down, neither agreeing nor refuting. This state was very different from her usual demeanor.

Shen Tianxing did not say much on the spot. Some matters still needed her to consider herself; others could not decide for her.

"Alright, then it's settled."

"So, when do you plan to come to Dianxing Academy?"

Shi Linglong looked at Shen Tianxing, still somewhat bothered.

Shen Tianxing couldn't help but pat her head and said, "In half a year, we'll meet at Dianxing Academy. Then we'll go together to the Central Domain to witness the so-called Contest of the Imperial Son!"

"Okay, half a year! Don't forget, alright? Then it's settled!"

Having received Shen Tianxing's answer, Shi Linglong accepted it.

There was nothing she could do. They knew Shen Tianxing too well and knew that he never changed his mind once he decided something.

It was impossible to make him change his mind. Even when Yan Yuzhu asked Shen Tianxing to return to the Imperial Capital to break the blood curse with Imperial Dao Dragon Qi, he didn't agree.

Shi Linglong no longer insisted.

Everyone was about to part ways and cherished this limited time, raising their cups and drinking wine.

The Jianghu news in the tavern was all similar and not of much value, so Shen Tianxing lost interest in paying attention... As night fell, the stars shone brightly, and the moonlight was like water.

The spring breeze gently brushed, like a maiden's hand, soft and unrestrained.

In the back courtyard of the tavern, on a rooftop.

Liu Xianyun was alone, leaning against the roof tiles, holding a pot of wine and taking sips from time to time.

Her eyes showed a hint of melancholy, a touch of hesitation, and also a surge of reckless impulse.

She hadn't yet made up her mind whether to return to Dianxing Academy.

She didn't want to see that stunningly beautiful face. It wasn't that her own beauty couldn't compare, but rather that scenes from her childhood kept surfacing in her mind, making her somewhat unwilling to face it.

"Why are you drinking alone here and not inviting me along?"

Shen Tianxing's voice drifted in on the wind, followed by his tall figure.

Liu Xianyun didn't even glance at him, drinking her wine self-absorbedly, not even wanting to answer him.

Lying down beside Liu Xianyun, Shen Tianxing reached out and took the wine gourd from her hand, unceremoniously taking a few gulps. He didn't feel that this action was at all ambiguous.

Liu Xianyun's pretty face flushed slightly. This was what she had been drinking! This guy was still so casual... But, this feeling was quite nice.

After all, their relationship was already very intimate. Besides the final step, everything that could be done had already been done, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

"Are you still thinking about what happened earlier today?"

Shen Tianxing looked at her and said, "You've grown up. What are you still afraid to face? The Academy Master is just a person, after all. The gap between you and her isn't that big anymore."

Yes, Liu Xianyun had already stepped into the Golden Body Realm. A Cultivator in the Golden Body Realm before the age of thirty—such talent was rare in the world!

No matter how powerful the Academy Master was, it was impossible for her to enter the Golden Body Realm before the age of thirty!

Shen Tianxing knew that the Academy Master, Liu Ruqing, was also an unparalleled Genius, eighteen years older than Liu Xianyun. After their parents died, Liu Ruqing raised Liu Xianyun.

It was also around that time that Liu Ruqing became the Academy Master.

Liu Ruqing was strict with Liu Xianyun during her childhood, but the results were excellent.

Liu Xianyun's strength progressed rapidly, even stronger than Liu Ruqing's back then!

It wasn't until Liu Ruqing went into seclusion that Liu Xianyun left the Academy alone and hasn't returned since.

This separation meant the two sisters hadn't seen each other for about ten years.

"I'm not afraid, it's just... I haven't thought it through yet."

Liu Xianyun was a bit uncomfortable; what she said was somewhat different from what she thought in her heart.

But she had listened to Shen Tianxing's words.

Just one sentence made her uneasy mind gradually calm down.

After ten years of separation, she would surely make people look at her with new eyes!

Back then, she was so much weaker than her sister, but ten years later, she was not much inferior to her sister.

Shen Tianxing nodded and said, "Fairy Liu is extraordinary. I believe you know what you should do."

"In half a year, I hope to see a different you."

Between the two of them, there was no need for too much idle talk; sometimes, a single sentence was enough.

Liu Xianyun, of course, understood Shen Tianxing's meaning.

She reached for the wine pot and drank fiercely again, her mind quickly returning to a state of breaking through a Bottleneck.

"In half a year, I'll be waiting for you at the Academy!"

A graceful figure quietly departed, leaving not many words, only a wisp of fragrant breeze dissipating with the wind.

Shen Tianxing stroked his chin, smiled, and left.
