After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

"..."

Long Wanyan's gaze shifted, her face still flushed. Her eyes fell on Xiao Yu's face, making Xiao Yu feel uneasy. His heart sank slightly, fearing that this sect leader might become displeased and rebel, forcing him to join the Qingyun Fu Sect.

Now that they are on the territory of the Qingyun Floating Sect, Xiao Yu is completely helpless, crying out to heaven and earth but no one comes to help him no matter how hard he shouts.

In the end, to Xiao Yu's relief, she nodded and didn't say anything more.

"That's fine, I won't force you, just don't forget our agreement."

It's just a letter of introduction; it's simple.

After speaking, Long Wanyan lowered her head. There was pen, ink and paper readily available on the table, so she didn't need to bother looking for them anymore.

She spread out the paper, ground the ink, and rolled up her sleeves, revealing a section of her jade-like, white wrist.

With each stroke of the pen, the neat and beautiful characters emerge like bamboo shoots after the rain on the snow-white paper. This reveals Long Wanyan's usual style: straightforward, simple, and without any unnecessary embellishment.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yu was slightly taken aback. An agreement?

After thinking it over carefully, he remembered that back in the cave, he had promised to become a guest elder of the Qingyun Floating Sect after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Unexpectedly, Long Wanyan remembered it so clearly.

Cultivation to the Nascent Soul Realm...

Speaking of this, Xiao Yu suddenly remembered the figure who had tried to kill him because of the struggle for the Great Dao.

If they truly reach the Nascent Soul Realm, the two will inevitably meet again.

By then, I shouldn't be in such a sorry state as before.

There is no doubt that the two will meet again.

Xiao Yu knew in his heart that even hiding on Jumo Island would be useless unless he voluntarily gave up his connection with the bright moon in the sky and switched to other cultivation paths.

However, how could this be? Xiao Yu's natal flying sword is like this. Wouldn't it be a waste of his great talent and ruin his future if he switched to another path?

In short, the next time we meet will most likely be when he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage.

That was a fair fight, a fight to the death.

fair enough……

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes. By then, Long Wanyan should have broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Using this as an excuse, he summoned Long Wanyan to stand by and provide support, so that even if Xiao Yu lost, he wouldn't suffer a fatal defeat.

It's about saving your life. Multiple layers of insurance are nothing to be ashamed of, and there's nothing shameful about it.

However, if they really fight, it's not certain who will emerge victorious!

Chapter 71, Will You Be My Daoist Partner?

Long Wanyan held the pen, her wrist swaying, the pen moving like a dragon and a snake. Perhaps driven by the heat in her heart, she wrote very quickly, but when she reached a certain point, the pen tip paused for a moment.

She looked up at Xiao Yu: "Sect name? What's the name of the sect you're creating this time?"

"This one……"

Suddenly, Xiao Yu was stumped by the question, as he was only thinking about gathering all the conditions for establishing a sect.

The matter of names was overlooked.

However, it's not a big problem. Just pick one. Anyway, it's a sect created only to participate in the secret realm. Once the secret realm ends, it probably won't be long before the sect goes bankrupt.

Logically speaking, the name of a sect symbolizes its reputation.

If you choose the right one, it will be of great help in terms of luck and fortune. If you choose the wrong one, it's not a big deal. At most, it will just give people a bad impression.

However, if the reputation becomes too great and overwhelming, the sect will be unable to bear it, and the sect's lifeline will be directly crushed.

Xiao Yu remembered a certain insignificant sect that had a small territory but a rather grand name.

The sect is called Qitian Sect, meaning "as powerful as the heavens." The sect leader is an alchemist with no great ambitions. His intention was simply to choose a good name, hoping that his sect would grow bigger and bigger and eventually become as powerful as the sky above.

However, the name is quite good, but once it spreads, it's easily misheard as "Riding the Heavens Sect".

Riding the sky... Riding the sky, this is trying to ride on the head of the Heavenly Dao!

Clearly, with such a name, the sect's fortune couldn't be suppressed at all. In the first few months after the sect's founding, the plaque alone was struck down by lightning three times.

Not a single disciple was recruited, and the disciples within the sect encountered numerous problems in their cultivation. Many stagnated in their cultivation, suffered from bad luck, and even the usually stable alchemy room frequently experienced explosions, resulting in none of the pills produced being successfully formed.

Over the next few months, they experienced a series of bad luck.

Finally, the sect leader had an epiphany and changed to an ordinary name, and the terrible situation began to improve.

In contrast, the sect of Xuanlei Mountain, which was challenged by the girl in black robes, had a much better name. It was named directly after the mountain where the sect was located, which was convenient and effortless, and the sect's fortune was also greatly enhanced.

Mount Xuanlei is a strange mountain because there is a thunder pool in the depression at the top of its mountain. Every year, lightning strikes the mountaintop, and countless silver snakes fly in the sky. The lightning strikes appear to be suspended on the mountaintop.

The name Xuanlei Mountain comes from this.

Getting back to the point, when Xiao Yu was suddenly asked to come up with a name for his sect, he didn't know what name to choose.

Xiao Yu lowered his head and pondered, thinking that if all else failed, he would just call it a "sect".

cough cough...

But obviously, that won't work.

Name…name…

To be honest, it was really difficult for Xiao Yu to come up with a name, as he has always been terrible at naming things.

When he first found Bai Yan in the forbidden sea area, he originally intended to name him Xiao Hua.

Girls... definitely like flowers and plants, so a name like this is sure to be a good choice.

At that moment, a couple from the neighboring peak came to visit, holding their seven- or eight-year-old son, Fugui, and enthusiastically agreed.

If Aunt Fox hadn't arrived later and, upon hearing this, immediately grabbed Xiao Yu's ear and made him think of another one.

Otherwise, Bai Yan wouldn't be called Bai Yan now; he should be called Xiao Hua.

After much thought, Xiao Yu still had no clue, and the ink on the paper that Long Wanyan had written earlier had dried up completely.

For no apparent reason, he thought of Feng Ling, one of the founders of this sect. A flash of inspiration struck him, and a familiar "ding" sound echoed in his mind.

Xiao Yu blurted out, "Then let's call it Moon Shadow Sect."

"Moon Shadow Sect?"

Long Wanyan repeated herself, confirming with Xiao Yu.

"Mm." Xiao Yu nodded.

"Nice name."

Upon hearing this, Long Wanyan agreed.

Unlike Xiao Yu, when Yueying was mentioned, Long Wanyan thought of Xiao Yu's innate flying sword talent, named Mirror Flower Snow Moon.

Is it the shadow of the bright moon?

It has a good meaning.

Before long, a letter of introduction from the sect, written by Long Wanyan, was freshly produced.

After finishing writing, she took out the seal of the Qingyun Floating Sect and gently stamped it on the lower right corner of the paper.

Now, the letter of introduction is completely complete.

The speed of the process piqued Xiao Yu's curiosity.

He took the letter of introduction from Long Wanyan and carefully read its contents.

The faint scent of ink mingled with the unique aroma of paper, and Xiao Yu's eyelids twitched involuntarily after reading the contents.

Long Wanyan's writing was brief, only about five, six, or seven lines. The gist of it can be summarized in one sentence: Let it pass; the Moon Shadow Sect… is under my protection.

Although it wasn't explicitly written, Xiao Yu could indeed sense this feeling from between the lines.

Is it really okay to write it like this?

"How is it? To be honest, this is the first time I've handled something like this all by myself. In the past, when I handled sect affairs, A-Yue would always review them for me. She would polish everything I wrote before sending it out. But now that A-Yue isn't here, this is all I can do."

Seemingly afraid that Xiao Yu would notice something amiss, Long Wanyan explained.

"It's well written, very... reflecting the grand style of the Qingyun Floating Sect."

Xiao Yu offered a forced smile and a compliment, not daring to say much more, since the Qingyun Floating Sect was indeed a powerful and influential family capable of making such a statement.

"That's good."

As it turns out, no woman dislikes hearing compliments. Hearing Xiao Yu's praise, Long Wanyan's mood improved significantly. Her cherry-colored lips curved slightly, and a smile appeared on her face, as gentle as a spring breeze.

If the Qingyun Fuzong disciples downstairs saw Long Wanyan like this, they would definitely be dumbfounded and their mouths would be agape. They simply couldn't believe that their usually proud and aloof sect leader would show such a side of herself.

However, Xiao Yu, who witnessed this, did not pay attention to Long Wanyan. After obtaining the letter of introduction, he packed it up immediately, then walked to the open window in the room and released his flying sword to send it to Feng Ling.

As mentioned before, time is of the essence, and the letter of introduction should be sent as soon as possible.

After doing all this, Xiao Yu relaxed. His mission was complete, and now it was up to Feng Ling.

He sat back down, his gaze falling on Long Wanyan, a hint of gratitude in his brown eyes.

"Senior, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter."

"It's alright, you don't need to be so respectful. You should have come to me sooner. I already owe you a lot, and this little thing is nothing. I told you I would take responsibility for what happened in the cave."

Long Wanyan shook her head, not agreeing with Xiao Yu's gratitude. Right now, what she wanted was for Xiao Yu to come to her for help more often.

After all... Long Wanyan's current cultivation level is largely due to Xiao Yu's help. Although she herself lost some very precious things, in the end, it was she who forced Xiao Yu.

The essence of Yin might be commonplace for Xiao Yu, but for Long Wanyan it was something she could only dream of.

From this point alone, Long Wanyan owes Xiao Yu a great debt of gratitude and a huge karmic debt.

Responsible……

Xiao Yu's expression changed. Logically, shouldn't he be the one saying these words? It felt strange coming from Long Wanyan's mouth.
