The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 373 With Master here, I feel very at ease

Since Master would ask such a question, he must not have met Uncle Liu Lanyi.

She raised her head, looked directly into Leng Qingzhu's eyes, and replied earnestly, word by word:

"Gu Qingyuan fell in love with his disciple, and was willing to betray the sect for her, even harming me..."

"In the end, he died at my hands."

Song Wanning stared intently at her master's expression, not wanting to see any disappointment on his face.

Upon hearing this news, Leng Qingzhu was taken aback.

When Ye Chuxue entered the gate, Leng Qingzhu had already ascended to heaven.

But Gu Qingyuan was her apprentice whom she had personally raised, and she had devoted a lot of effort to guiding him when he was young.

Now that I hear he's dead, and killed by his young apprentice, how could I not be shocked?

But seeing her little apprentice's nervous expression, her heart softened, and she let out a long sigh.

"Since he is willing to give up everything, he has no one to blame but himself."

"It was he who wronged you..."

Leng Qingzhu pulled his little apprentice into his arms and gently patted Song Wanning's back, silently comforting her.

It was both to comfort Song Wanning and to comfort himself.

Gu Qingyuan has actually fallen in love with his disciple. Even if he doesn't die, he will personally expel him from the sect!
Such a disciple is better off without.

The little apprentice in his arms, seemingly bright and flamboyant, is actually sensitive and delicate at heart, and must have been heartbroken by Gu Qingyuan.

She worried that her young apprentice would act recklessly on his own, and also blamed herself for being completely unaware of the situation.

Feeling the warm embrace, Song Wanning smiled contentedly.

Her master was not disappointed in her and continued to love and protect her as always.

That's enough!
After lingering in the warmth for a while, she sat up straight again and changed the subject.

"My aunt has already ascended to immortality. Has Master ever seen her?"

Liu Lanyi has been gone for several years now, and there has been no news of her since. I wonder if she has encountered any danger.

Leng Qingzhu straightened her face and said in a deep voice, "I heard the sect leader mention this matter. When you asked him to deliver things to us, he inquired about Lan Yi's whereabouts."

"But I haven't been able to contact her yet. The spirit world is vast and full of resources. It will probably take some effort to meet her."

Leng Qingzhu was not well-known in the Spirit Realm, and had only joined the Ancient Cold Sect the previous year. Liu Lanyi certainly had not found out where she was staying.

That's how we missed each other, and we never got to meet.

"However, your uncle is a cautious person, so he should be fine. You don't need to worry."

Leng Qingzhu changed the subject, "As for you, I heard that you immediately set your sights on the Baimu Ranking upon arrival, and now you're quite a hot topic in the sect."

A hint of teasing permeated the air between the two.

Song Wanning laughed heartily, her expression becoming even brighter and more exuberant.

“Master, as you know, I’m used to being high-profile and I can’t learn to be humble.”

Even without the Song family's backing, she was unwilling to humble herself and focused solely on improving her strength to climb to higher positions.

The ambition in his eyes was obvious. Leng Qingzhu chuckled and shook her head.

"You silly girl, aren't you afraid of making too many enemies..."

"Since you're new here, let me first tell you about the current situation of the Ancient Cold Sect."

Her expression was solemn. She casually cast a restriction before whispering, "The Ancient Cold Sect is one of the five major sects in the Southern Region, but the sect is not peaceful."

"There are three Supreme Elders of the Ancient Cold Sect: Jiang Wentian, who is in the middle stage of the Integration Realm; Ruan Mingyue, who is in the late stage of the Integration Realm; and the other is my master, who is also your grandmaster, Song Que, a cultivator in the late stage of the Integration Realm."

"With the three supreme elders at the forefront, the people below also split into several groups, each dissatisfied with the others..."

Leng Qingzhu then briefly mentioned a few representative figures to Song Wanning. While internal strife within the Ancient Cold Sect was constant, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks; after all, the competition among disciples could also motivate them to cultivate.

When they need to face external challenges, they unite and confront them together.

Therefore, the relationship between the three forces is quite delicate.

Leng Qingzhu became Song Que's disciple and thus joined Song Que's camp, just as Song Wanning has done so.

At the very least, anyone who sees this would think the same way.

"So that's how it is. No wonder there were rumors about me as soon as I entered the sect..."

It seems to be the work of the other two factions. I just didn't expect that my strength would actually give her momentum.

"Yes, you should be more careful in the future, especially in secret realms..."

Leng Qingzhu stopped there and didn't say anything more.

After chatting with Song Wanning for a while, she learned that Song Wanning had already reached 30th place in a row, and she fell silent.

This young apprentice is so powerful that no one can stop him; he'll surpass me sooner or later.

However, she wasn't jealous; on the contrary, she felt very gratified.

A disciple need not be inferior to his teacher, nor a teacher necessarily be more virtuous than his disciple.

She has a very positive outlook.

"I understand, Master."

Song Wanning nodded, and then asked about the situation of the Pursuit Peak.

"You can stay here in peace. Your senior uncles are all upright and straightforward people. They will surely be pleased to see you."

"Some of them are out, and some are still on their way back. I'll introduce them to you later."

Leng Qingzhu pointed to the open space in front of the door, "If you don't like it, you can build a house yourself. As for your grandmaster, he is currently in seclusion, so we won't disturb him for now."

None of the senior brothers and sisters have taken on any disciples yet, so they will surely be delighted when they meet Song Wanning.

"Alright, then I won't be polite!"

Song Wanning smiled. She also preferred having her own private space, which made things more convenient for her.

However, she had something very important to do at the moment, so she pulled Leng Qingzhu aside and said, "Master, I have a treasure that needs to be refined, but I'm afraid there might be some unexpected phenomena..."

She was afraid of the treasure being exposed, so she never dared to use it.

Now that Master has returned, perhaps this is an opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Leng Qingzhu pondered for a moment, "You should focus on refining it. If any unusual phenomena occur, I will have a way to deal with them."

She had just returned from the secret realm, and even if her identity was exposed, others would only assume that she had obtained some kind of fortuitous opportunity.

"Alright, with Master here, this disciple has nothing to worry about."

At this moment, Song Wanning finally felt a sense of belonging, and her heart was at peace.

With Leng Qingzhu protecting her, she didn't delay and turned to enter the training room.

Leng Qingzhu activated the protective formation, which enveloped the entire mountain peak.

……

On the battle platform of the Ancient Cold Sect, the disciples had been eagerly waiting, but Song Wanning's figure was nowhere to be seen.

The prodigy ranked thirtieth also arrived early, but Song Wanning never showed up, and a hint of confusion flashed in his delicate eyes.

"Why isn't Senior Sister Song Wanning here yet? I'm waiting to see her win!!!"

"Yes, she comes every day. Could something have kept her from coming today?"

"Huh? I came back to the sect today specifically to broaden my horizons, could I really be this unlucky?"

"Sigh, I've gotten used to coming here every day these days. If Senior Sister Song doesn't come for a day, I miss her terribly!"
