"According to what Master said before, if Junior Sister had directly stated her identity, let alone being allowed in, she would have been thankful that she hadn't lost her life at the hands of Master Uncle."

Su Xinghe looked troubled, and obviously did not hold much hope for this idea.

Mu Nianci thought for a moment and said, "Master just said that this 'worst plan' is unfair to Uncle-Master. Could it be that he has already thought of a solution?"

"That's right," Wuyazi nodded, "When you go see her, just tell her what you've said."

"What?"

"I was beaten by the traitor Ding Chunqiu and his junior sister, and fell off a cliff. Although I was lucky enough to survive, I became a disabled person and lived in seclusion for 30 years."

Wuyazi said this, sighed deeply, and looked ashamed.

"For the past thirty years, I've regretted my wrongdoings to her, yet I didn't dare, nor did I have the face to look for her again. Later, by chance, I accepted Nianci as my disciple. Unable to teach her, I had no choice but to ask my senior sister for help. Once my magical power was fully developed, I went to kill Ding Chunqiu and my junior sister."

Gu Ping'an raised his eyebrows slightly, and finally understood why he said that he felt even more sorry for Tianshan Tonglao.

Of course, he couldn't let Mu Nianci really kill Li Qiushui, but he used this as an excuse to deceive her feelings again. It was really hard to describe.

Su Xinghe was stunned when he heard this and asked in shock, "Master, are you really planning to let my junior sister kill my uncle?"

He was in a very complicated mood at the moment. If it hadn't been for Li Qiushui's help, even if Ding Chunqiu had attacked his master, he might not have succeeded.

But later, Ding Chunqiu was determined to kill him and wipe out the root of the problem. It was all thanks to his uncle who forcibly persuaded him to leave, which gave him the opportunity to save his master's life and survive to this day.

There is a hint of gratitude mixed in with the hatred, and the feeling is really hard to describe.

Wuyazi was silent for a long time and shook his head gently.

"I feel guilty about my past with your uncle. Even if she tried to harm me, how could I have the heart to harm her?"

Mu Nianci suddenly realized, "I understand what Master means, but wouldn't that be a bit too cruel to Uncle Master?"

Wuyazi sighed deeply: "In my life, the person I feel most sorry for is her. After you have cleaned up the mess, tell her the truth and she will come looking for me. There is no point in keeping my life, I only hope that I can repay some of the debt I owe her."

The room was quiet for a while. After a long time, Su Xinghe noticed that the atmosphere was heavy and said again.

"Ding Chunqiu founded the Xingxiu Sect and called himself 'Xingxiu Old Immortal'. He has been diligently cultivating the sect in the Western Regions for many years and has countless disciples. Although my junior sister and her husband are extremely talented, it would still be extremely difficult and dangerous for them to travel to the Western Regions to assassinate them."

Wuyazi nodded and said, "That's right. With his current power, there are only a few people in the world who are capable of taking his life in the Western Regions. If we want to kill him, we still need to lure him out."

"That's simple. I have a way." Gu Ping'an said, "Senior, this Zhenlong chess game is the best bait."

Mu Nianci and he had a tacit understanding and guessed what he was thinking in an instant, but Su Qinghe was confused.

"Senior Brother Su previously said that he planned to hold a chess meeting a year from now, inviting talented people from all over the world to make this chess game public."

"But hasn't this chess game been solved by the headmaster's junior sister?"

"So what? Only the four of us know about this matter, but no one else in the world knows about it. Brother, just send the message as planned."

Gu Ping'an explained with a smile.

"Ding Chunqiu has been coveting the Xiaoyao Sect's inheritance for a long time. If this news gets to him, why worry that he won't come to us on his own?"

In fact, it won't be long before Ding Chunqiu will rush to the Central Plains to hunt down A Zi who stole the Divine Wood King Cauldron, but he can't say it directly at this time.

Su Xinghe frowned and said, "This place is thousands of miles away from Tianshan Mountain. The journey back and forth would take several months. Isn't a year too short?"

"If that senior master doesn't make things difficult for us, that's enough." Gu Ping'an said, "There's no need to rush to set a specific date. We can discuss it after we return."

While Ding Chunqiu wasn't as distracted by miscellaneous learning as Su Xinghe, he was also misguided, abandoning the Xiaoyao Sect's unique skills in favor of dealing with poisons. Unfortunately, he lacked Ouyang Feng's exceptional talent, so most of his skills were in poisons. In terms of true strength, he was at most on par with Duan Yanqing.

As luck would have it, Gu Ping'an is immune to all poisons, and Mu Nianci has Tongxi Dilong Pills to protect herself. Even if they meet him now, even if they cannot defeat him, they will be able to protect themselves.

In fact, going to Tianshan may not bring much improvement.

So far, the only missing pieces of Xiaoyao Sect's unique martial arts are the Tianshan Six Yang Palm and Li Qiushui's White Rainbow Palm.

The two of them currently have more than enough unique skills, and the reason they made this long journey is just to gather all the skills of the Xiaoyao Sect.

When Mu Nianci received the inheritance from her grandmother, she was determined to carry forward the Xiaoyao Sect and naturally would not miss this opportunity.

"There's no time to lose, Master, Brother, we're leaving now. Please take care of yourselves."

Although Wuyazi felt guilty, there was nothing else he could do.

"Nianci, if your uncle is willing to teach, that would be great. If not, there's no need to force her. Just convey my apology to her. We can discuss the matter of clearing up the family line later."

"The disciple understands."

The two said goodbye and left the cabin, slowly walking down the mountain path, feeling the mountain breeze and the sound of pine trees.

They trudged along the way, passing through Jingzhao and Yan'an Prefectures, entering the territory of Western Xia, and then passing the capital Xingqing Prefecture. More than a month had passed.

Going further, you will reach the foot of Tianshan Mountain. Looking up, you will see the continuous snow-capped peaks and the golden mountains illuminated by the sun, showing their majestic magnificence.

"Nianci, what day is today?"

"March 1st."

"What a coincidence?" Gu Ping'an was slightly stunned, and then said, "It just so happens that there is a town ahead. Let's go there and buy some birthday gifts for your uncle."

"it is good."

Gu Pingan was startled when he heard this, and subconsciously asked, "Aren't you surprised how I know your uncle's birthday?"

"That's strange." Mu Nianci glanced at him sideways and said as a matter of course.

"Then why don't you ask?"

"Why ask?"

Mu Nianci smiled faintly and asked back.

"Could it be that you are going to harm me?"

When these words were spoken, Gu Ping'an was stunned and speechless for a moment.

The two bought some gifts in the town and set off again. They could already see the Tianshan Mountains in the distance.

Although it was spring, the northwestern border was still chilly, with snow flying across the valley, indicating how biting the mountain wind was.

Going up the mountain road, although it is spring, there are still goose feather snowflakes flying on the mountain, and the sound of wind is intertwined all around, like the howling of ghosts and wolves.

When they reached the mountainside, a group of women in tight clothes appeared like ghosts and surrounded them.

Each of them held a long hook that flashed with cold light and wore a green cloak, looking exactly like the Lingjiu Palace maid who had died in Wuliang Mountain before.

"Whoever trespasses into the territory of the Lingjiu Palace, please state your identity immediately!" (End of this chapter)
