Naturally, we should return to where we came from!

Sword Spiriter still remembered her earlier conversation with Zhong Qing.

"Benefactor, are you a reclusive Master hiding in plain sight?"

"Something like that!"

"How high?"

"Just a little bit higher than you!"

...

"Benefactor, do you have any purpose for coming to the True Domain on this trip?"

"Of course, I do. I'm here to take in a Disciple!"

That understated tone gave Sword Spiriter a misconception.

That was, although her Benefactor was stronger than her, his strength should be limited.

Her Benefactor wanted to take in a Disciple, but the Disciple he would take in should have a talent similar to hers.

At most, they would only be slightly better than her.

But at this moment!

Hearing from Gu Chenxian's mouth that he was actually Zhong Qing's Disciple.

It wasn't until this moment that Sword Spiriter realized she was wrong.

Not only was she wrong, but she was incredibly wrong.

Who is Gu Chenxian?

He is a legend of his generation, a myth of his generation, and can even be said to be the foremost Supreme in the entire True Domain.

He is an unattainable mountain in the eyes of all True Domain cultivators.

Since he became active in the eyes of the world, a full twenty thousand years have passed, but no one has been able to reach the height of Lord Gu Chenxian.

Such a person is actually Zhong Qing's Disciple.

How could such a person's talent be only slightly better than hers?

She would never, in this life or the next, reach the current height of Lord Gu Chenxian.

A person who can take the foremost Supreme in the True Domain as a Disciple, what astonishing level of strength must he have reached?

Such a person is not just a head taller than her; this kind of height is one where she can't even see his back when craning her neck.

She had known before that Zhong Qing was somewhat extraordinary, but she never expected him to be extraordinary to such an extent.

At this moment, she gripped the Half-step Supreme Legacy in her hand.

Thankfully, she hadn't had time to send it out.

Although the Half-step Supreme Legacy was precious in her eyes, in front of such a Supreme existence, the other party probably wouldn't even deign to glance at it!

For a moment, her gaze towards Zhong Qing was incredibly complex.

It was like a dream.

She hadn't expected that in her lifetime, she would actually have an intersection with such a monumental figure.

She even spent a considerable amount of time with him.

But similarly.

The life-saving grace of such a figure towards her, she feared she would never be able to repay it even if she dedicated the rest of her life.

At this moment, Gu Chenxian spoke, "Master, it's getting late!"

"Since Master, you want your Disciple to try his hand, and this matter is also quite important to me, then your Disciple will go first!"

"After the matter is settled, your Disciple will report back to you."

"I will not fail Master's expectations."

"Go!"

Zhong Qing nodded.

Then he handed Gu Chenxian a Jade Slip for communication, saying, "You must keep this with you. If you encounter any difficulties, you can contact your Master at any time!"

"After you're done, you'll also be able to find your Master's location."

"Thank you, Master!"

After Gu Chenxian received the Jade Slip, he cupped his hands and bowed to Zhong Qing.

Then his peripheral vision caught sight of the Half-step Supreme Legacy that Sword Spiriter was tightly clutching in her hand.

In his previous conversation with Zhong Qing, he knew that his Master was currently residing in Lingjian Sect.

He was, after all, someone who had lived for many years, and in just an instant, he had guessed the relationship between Zhong Qing and Sword Spiriter seven or eight times out of ten.

He also guessed Sword Spiriter's intention on this trip.

This made him develop a good impression of Sword Spiriter.

Furthermore, Lingjian Sect had provided no small amount of assistance for the advancement of the Heaven Asking Sword in the Sword Tomb earlier.

With a thought, he moved.

After standing up, he said to Sword Spiriter, "Regarding the trip to the Sword Tomb earlier, thank you, young lady, for your assistance."

"I didn't expect that the young lady and my Master also have quite a connection."

"I have something here, which is a token of my gratitude to the young lady."

"I hope the young lady will not decline!"

As he spoke, he gently waved his large hand, and the Sword Immortal Inheritance, which he had originally prepared to give to Zhong Qing, fell into Sword Spiriter's hand.

After the latter saw the Legacy in her hand, her pupils slightly contracted.

"It's, it's actually the Sword Immortal Inheritance!"

It was the Sword Immortal Inheritance that the entire True Domain desired, and she never expected it to come into her hands in this way.

Sword Spiriter's mind was shaken.

Her pair of bright eyes were filled with deep disbelief.

She had the intention to refuse.

This Legacy was too precious, so precious that she somewhat dared not accept it.

Moreover, the Lord Gu Chenxian giving her this Legacy was, to a large extent, out of consideration for her Benefactor's Face.

She hadn't yet had the chance to repay her Benefactor's life-saving grace earlier.

Now, if she accepted this Legacy, wouldn't her debt to her Benefactor only increase?

However, this was an opportunity that could make the entire Lingjian Sect soar to great heights.

It was a Supreme Legacy that could truly make Lingjian Sect rise.

Words of refusal, however, simply could not be spoken.

Zhong Qing saw her dilemma.

"Since my Disciple gave it to you, just accept it with peace of mind!"

"Many, many thanks, Sword Immortal Lord!"

"Many thanks, Benefactor!"

Sword Spiriter bowed respectfully to both of them.

This was the most she could do to express her gratitude at the moment.

However, when she looked up, Gu Chenxian had already disappeared from the scene, apparently having left.

Seeing this, her excited heart paused slightly, and she felt a sense of loss.

By the pond, only Zhong Qing was drinking alone facing the lake.

Zhong Qing, who had just taken in a True Disciple, was in a great mood, and he couldn't help but tease the somewhat dazed Sword Spiriter, "What? My Disciple has left, do you still feel a bit reluctant in your heart?"

These words made Sword Spiriter's Face flush with shyness.

Her delicate, pretty Face was completely red.

Like a peach, as if water could drip from it.

It perfectly displayed the shyness of a young girl, becoming a beautiful scenery in the small courtyard.

But deep down in her heart, it was indeed as Zhong Qing had said, she felt a bit of reluctance.

After all, how many young girls in the True Domain wouldn't feel admiration for an existence like Gu Chenxian?

Of course, Sword Spiriter knew very well that she and the other party were not from the same world at all, so she naturally had no improper thoughts in her heart.

What she had was only a slight regret.

If there were no accidents, her lifelong interaction with this Sword Immortal Lord would probably be limited to this.

He had amazed her entire world when he arrived, and when he left in a hurry, he left her his Legacy.

If time could linger for another moment, allowing her to say one more word to the Sword Immortal Lord, or to look at him one more time, that would also be excellent.

Unfortunately, there are no 'ifs' in life!

And she should also be content.

After all, the Sword Immortal Lord even spoke a few words to her individually, which would undoubtedly cause countless young girls to envy and go crazy.

Although the two sides had not had much interaction, the Sword Immortal Lord had already fulfilled a childhood dream of hers.

They say a maiden's heart is always poetry!

Besides, isn't there an even more formidable existence than the Sword Immortal right before her eyes?

Zhong Qing glanced at Sword Spiriter, his eyes subtly moving, and he shook his head.

He stretched, and then bade farewell to Sword Spiriter, saying, "I should go too!"

"Ah!"

These words made Sword Spiriter exclaim in surprise, and she said somewhat nervously, "Where are you going, Benefactor?"

"Naturally, back to where I came from!"

Zhong Qing's purpose for this trip had been achieved; his precious Disciple had now been brought under his command.

Moreover, Zhong Qing hadn't forgotten that Phoenix Feather Sect still had a great disaster unresolved, so it was time to leave!
