Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

One person, one step; one step, one person.

Yue Que walked ahead, holding Xiaolongnu's jade hand as if he wanted to hold her tightly in his palm, unwilling to let her disappear before his eyes.

Their steps were so close, their expressions occasionally charming in the sunlight, and their eyes were so tender when they looked back. With their white clothes fluttering in the wind, they truly looked like a perfect couple.

Even if other passersby encountered them on the street, they would at most sigh in their hearts that it was a breach of etiquette and that these two were incredibly bold, but most of them would be attracted by this beautiful scene.

Then loudly praise: What a perfect couple!

This is only the surface.

In fact, Yue Que dared not let go of Xiaolongnu's hand after he grabbed it, fearing that she would run out and kill the three members of the Red Serpent Fairy's group.

After all, a woman who has just lost her virginity is no match for a seasoned master, no matter how good Li Mochou's martial arts are. Given that she has already suffered serious injuries, she is no match for him.

If it were someone from another sect, it wouldn't be so bad, at least they could use the unparalleled lightness skill of the Ancient Tomb Sect to escape.

But what if she were to face the current leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect, Little Dragon Girl...?

Yue Que was able to deliberately let Hong Lingbo go in that state, and it wasn't just because she was a rare gem in the Ancient Tomb Sect.

After the collective movement in front of the incomplete Nine Yin Manual, Yue Que ran first without worrying about the safety of others. Essentially, Yue Que realized that he was more important to Xiaolongnu than others.

There is a specific order to them.

However, after holding Xiaolongnu's somewhat cold right hand and walking a distance, Yue Que vaguely felt that this was a rare experience.

Looking sideways, I saw that Little Dragon Girl also seemed to be savoring the memory.

Noticing Yue Que's gaze, Xiaolongnu looked up and met his eyes. In their gaze, they both saw an unspeakable tenderness deep in each other's eyes.

For the first time, the two experienced a connection of minds that they only had when practicing the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra together.

"..."

"..."

Everyone smiled in unison, their unspoken understanding unspoken.

And so, two days later.

Guided by the deliberately chosen route, the two had already traveled quite a distance from Zhongnan Mountain.

Little Dragon Girl continued to enjoy herself, finding everything fascinating, though she wore a pure face with little expression. Yue Que, however, was not happy about it.

Yue Que discovered that although Xiaolongnu could eat exquisite food in the ancient tomb, she was still easy to raise in some ways. She could eat fruit, drink spring water, or make some honey and other dishes.

But Yue Que cannot.

He lived like this in the ancient tomb and it's not a big deal, but if he continues to live like this after leaving the tomb, wouldn't that be a waste of time?

He wanted to eat large chunks of meat and drink large bowls of wine, and he also felt that he needed to take a lot of nourishing food.

Moreover, Yue Que didn't want to just wander the world on four legs with the other two.

That's just asking for trouble.

If Yue Que hadn't grasped the subtleties of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, he might have continued to cultivate the Golden Goose Skill while strolling around. But now that there's a shortcut, who would be willing to endure the arduous practice?

So when Yue Que wanted to find a good time for the two of them, he discovered a big problem.

He has no money.

What is money to Xiaolongnu?

Does she need it?

For a time, Yue Que was truly in dire need of money, even as a hero.

偷？

Or perhaps they're going to rob it?

We can't exactly ask the Beggars' Sect for it, can we?

How could Yue Que, a dignified outcast of the Quanzhen Sect and a direct disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect, do something so beneath his dignity?

After all, when you're in the martial arts world, you give yourself your own identity.

Being a traitor to the Quanzhen Sect is better than being a rebel, but not by much. As for the Ancient Tomb Sect disciple, his identity was ruined by his senior master, the Red Serpent Fairy.

A wandering swordsman?

That won't work either. If I use my lightness skill and internal energy to make a move, I'll give myself away.

and so--

More important than money was giving himself and Xiaolongnu a new identity.

"aunt."

Stopping in their tracks, Yue Que shared his thoughts with Xiaolongnu: "That's how it is. Perhaps we need a new identity to travel the martial world."

"The Ancient Tomb Sect's reputation has been tarnished considerably because of my senior master, so it doesn't have a good name in the martial arts world. Moreover, with my junior brother's departure, using the name of the Ancient Tomb Sect would only alert the enemy."

"It wouldn't be good if I startled my junior brother."

"So we'll use a new name to travel the world first, and then revert to the name Ancient Tomb Sect when the time is right."

Xiaolongnu pondered this carefully and found that there was nothing wrong with what she said. It wasn't because of her senior sister Li Mochou, but because of her disciple Yang Guo.

She needed to give Yang Guo enough time to calm down, so he wouldn't be frightened like a small animal, and she didn't want him to run around everywhere.

Fortunately, she didn't say anything, otherwise Yue Que would definitely have asked what it meant to be running around everywhere!

So Xiaolongnu agreed to Yue Que's proposal.

So what should the group of master and apprentice be called?

You have to come up with a name that's presentable.

The Return of the Condor Heroes?

Without carvings, it is not worthy of its name.

Xiaolongnu also suggested several names with an ancient feel, but Yue Que rejected them.

Yue Que decided to give this small group a special name, a name that, apart from the ancient tomb, was truly fitting.

Everything about the ancient tomb flashed through my mind, and I recalled the discussion I had with my junior brother Yang Guo that day about the name Xiaolongnu—whether it was a nickname or her real name.

Little Dragon, Red Serpent...

snake!!!

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into Yue Que's mind.

What also made Yue Que realize was that the Ancient Tomb Sect's internal disciple education actually included music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, except for Yue Que and Yang Guo; in particular, Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu, the two sisters, had remarkable attainments in music.

Little Dragon Girl can play the zither, while her senior sister, Red Lotus Fairy Li Mochou, can play instruments such as the flute, and is most famous for singing sad love songs.

If female disciples didn't fight upon meeting, male and female disciples could even have a harmonious relationship.

From this perspective on the cultivation of disciples, one can glimpse the subtle intentions of the patriarch Lin Chaoying towards Wang Chongyang and the profound family tradition.

She can play musical instruments, sing, and her light body techniques are graceful and fluid, possessing the beauty and rhythm of dance.

In a sense, this is the real reserve force for the orchestra.

Therefore, the disciples within the Ancient Tomb Sect are not trained and cultivated in the normal way by martial arts sects.

I wonder what kind of family tradition Lin Chaoying, the founder of the sect, had that led her to train her disciples in this way.

This is something that ordinary families cannot afford.

It's probably not that simple.

Perhaps the reason why Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying did not become husband and wife was not only due to the reasons on the surface, but also because of their respective social statuses.

But this secret eventually returned to dust, and Yue Que had no intention of digging up those old gossips.

Right now, Yue Que's biggest concern is still the name of the new group.

After some thought, Yue Que decided to name this rebuilt group the Big SHE Group, which is also known as the Big Snake Group.

Moreover, this snake gang can expand along the way. In Yue Que's arrangement, apart from Xiaolongnu, his senior uncle Li Mochou was already a member of the snake gang.

Those were the White Dragon and the Crimson Serpent.

Even Lu Wushuang was given a snake-like name before joining the group.

As for Hong Lingbo...

This rare treasure from the Ancient Tomb Sect should be considered as a backup, and it should also be given a name.

And so, without their knowledge, Yue Que arranged new identities for the three of them, the master and his disciple.

And he, Yue Que—

He is a superstar belonging to the Orochi crew.

"Hmm!"

Listening quietly to Yue Que's arrangements, Xiaolongnu did not object. In fact, she thought they were quite appropriate, but she had a slight aversion to the names given to Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang.

However, more than the questions about the two women, Xiaolongnu was concerned about how her disciple Yue Que addressed her: "And what about you, Que'er?"

"Um……"

Yue Que pondered for a long time, seemingly finding the question difficult to answer. However, after a moment of silence, he finally gave his aunt's code name in response to her inquiry.

"Just call me Xi Xuan!"

"Oh~~~" Little Dragon Girl nodded, then unexpectedly winked at Yue Que and stuck out her tongue: "Hiss—"

Yue Que: "Huh???!!!"

who are you?

The sudden action startled Yue Que.

In Yue Que's eyes, Xiaolongnu was becoming more and more human at this moment.
