218: Chapter 216: Pei Yuhan's confusion, the abnormal Zhenyue Sword
Pei Yuhan recalled all her recent experiences; it seemed the only time she had angered her Revered Master was when she said she wanted to return to the Lingxiao Sword Sect, but she had already admitted her mistake then!
When she was acknowledged by Tantai Qingxuan and entered Qingxuan Peak, she even reported the good news to her Revered Master. He had patiently advised her at the time, so why had he suddenly cut off contact with her?
Recalling everything during this period, she increasingly felt that her Revered Master was acting strangely, as if sending her to the Qiankun Taoist Sect was like entrusting an orphan.
But what crisis could the Lingxiao Sword Sect Face? Especially now, everyone had joined the Qiankun Alliance, and the Qiongsang Domain was unprecedentedly united and powerful... She shook her head, feeling she was overthinking it. Given the current situation in the Qiongsang Domain, what could happen to the Lingxiao Sword Sect?
Perhaps her previous actions had angered her Revered Master and made him unhappy. When she saw him again, she would tell him that Gu Shengge was willing to keep her by his side, and her Revered Master would probably forgive her.
After Gu Shengge returned this time, he basically didn't need to go out anymore. Next was to resolve the disaster of the Corpse Demons. Once the matter of the Corpse Demons was completely resolved, it might be time to leave the Qiongsang Domain. There was no System here, so he would have to go to places like the Zhongtian Star Domain to continue finding opportunities to hunt Systems.
Months passed in a flash, and Pei Yuhan gradually got used to life on Qingxuan Peak. However... she was always a little unaccustomed to Gu Shengge and Tantai Qingxuan. Many times, they seemed to forget that there were more than just the two of them on Qingxuan Peak now. Their voices were too loud, keeping her awake.
She had never experienced matters between men and women, but she still understood a little. She spat a few times, covered her ears, and burrowed under the covers to sleep.
Once she fell asleep, she wouldn't overthink things.
After several months, Pei Yuhan looked haggard, serving Gu Shengge and Tantai Qingxuan with their morning routine.
Tantai Qingxuan saw how haggard Pei Yuhan was and casually asked, "Yuhan, are you not used to living on Qingxuan Peak? Why do you look so worn out?"
Gu Shengge was also puzzled, a faint divine light flickering in his eyes as he investigated Pei Yuhan's condition.
Pei Yuhan said bitterly, "No, it's just that I've been suffering from insomnia recently and haven't rested well."
Tantai Qingxuan was full of confusion and continued to press, "Insomnia? Or are you still not used to living here?"
Pei Yuhan didn't know what to say. After all, she was just a small maid. How could she directly tell them to be quieter when they were doing things at night?
Under the Great Mind Art, Pei Yuhan's thoughts quickly reached the ears of Gu Shengge and Tantai Qingxuan.
A rare blush appeared on Tantai Qingxuan's usually cold Face. She awkwardly turned her back, her earlobes still a little red.
Gu Shengge, however, looked as usual. So what if he heard? It was only because she wasn't originally a maid that she was unaccustomed, as it was often normal for maids to serve nearby.
"Look at the palaces on Qingxuan Peak and find a few quiet places to rest! It's true that it can be a bit noisy when we Cultivate nearby."
Gu Shengge said with his usual expression.
Tantai Qingxuan beside him couldn't help but blush. How could this guy say such things without changing his expression?
Pei Yuhan, on the other hand, was full of surprise. Did Gu Shengge know that she couldn't sleep well because of their activities?
"Thank you, Daozi. I understand."
Pei Yuhan quickly took her belongings and left after they finished their morning routine, fleeing back to her residence to prepare for moving.
After moving her things and leaving Qingxuan Peak, there were still some items left at her original residence that she needed to retrieve.
After descending the mountain, Pei Yuhan was carrying her belongings and heading towards Qingxuan Peak when suddenly, her eyes widened, and her body trembled slightly.
It was her Revered Master! He had finally come to the Qiankun Taoist Sect!
She quickly put away the things in her hands and ran to the side of the Zhenyue Sword Revered Master.
"Revered Master! Revered Master!"
She called out twice, but the Zhenyue Sword Revered Master seemed not to hear her and continued walking forward. She wanted to get closer, but when she rushed up, she was blocked by Disciples of the Lingxiao Sword Sect. These people were all strangers, and Pei Yuhan didn't recognize them.
She called out regardless, wanting the Zhenyue Sword Revered Master to turn and look. Perhaps she was indeed too noisy.
The Zhenyue Sword Revered Master frowned, looked at her, and said in a deep voice, "Shut up! Pei Yuhan, you have long been expelled from the Lingxiao Sword Sect. You are now merely the maid of Gu Shengge, Daozi Gu. Remember your status!"
Pei Yuhan quickly said, "Revered Master, you know now that I am Daozi Gu's maid, and he has acknowledged me. Why do you still want to expel me from the Lingxiao Sword Sect?"
The Zhenyue Sword Revered Master said with a cold Face, "It's good that you know your status. Get lost!"
The Zhenyue Sword Revered Master cursed angrily, waved his sleeve, and left directly.
The Disciples of the Lingxiao Sword Sect kept Pei Yuhan at a distance, not allowing her to approach.
Pei Yuhan stood there dejectedly, her Face slightly pale. Many Cultivators nearby were pointing and discussing, but she was completely unaware.
As dusk approached, Pei Yuhan returned to Qingxuan Peak through the mountain's wind and snow. She understood; her Revered Master truly no longer wanted her and had completely cut ties with her.
Back in her room, Pei Yuhan sat cross-legged on the futon, her Sword Heart humming softly.
The next day, the Cultivators of the Lingxiao Sword Sect were to pay their respects to Emperor Yang Mu Qianyang and Daozi Gu Shengge of the Qiankun Taoist Sect. They were the core figures of the Qiankun Taoist Sect, as well as its current and future holders of power.
When Gu Shengge got up in the morning, he saw Pei Yuhan coming to serve him with his morning routine and asked in confusion, "Didn't your Revered Master come? Didn't you go to see them?"
Pei Yuhan's emotions, which she had suppressed, became chaotic again. She covered her mouth and began to sob. Gu Shengge then carefully observed her and asked in confusion, "Didn't you move far away? We didn't disturb you last night, did we? Why are you still so haggard?"
Pei Yuhan said bitterly, "Daozi, my Revered Master doesn't want me anymore. I've been expelled from the Lingxiao Sword Sect."
She sobbed softly, probably because she had voiced the grievances in her heart. Her previously suppressed sobs were no longer held back, and she cried out loud.
Not far away, Tantai Qingxuan, who had changed her clothes, asked in confusion, "Why are you crying? Tell me what's wrong, and I will support you."
Pei Yuhan shook her head, "It's nothing important, but the Lingxiao Sword Sect has removed my name, and my Revered Master has completely cut ties with me. From now on, I am homeless."
For Pei Yuhan, the Lingxiao Sword Sect was where she grew up, so it was naturally equated with home.
But now she was told that she had been completely removed. How was this different from being inexplicably kicked out of her home?
Tantai Qingxuan comforted her, "It's fine. You're with Daozi now. From now on, Qingxuan Peak will be your home. Don't be silly and cry."
Gu Shengge beside her smiled and said, "If it really doesn't work out, when I see the Zhenyue Sword Revered Master later, I'll ask him for you."
Hearing this, Pei Yuhan's eyes lit up. Her Revered Master couldn't possibly refuse Daozi Gu's Face, could he?
With Daozi Gu's help, it wouldn't be impossible to get her name reinstated in the Lingxiao Sword Sect! (End of chapter)
