The place hasn't changed much since he came eight years ago.

The defenses were noticeably more stringent.

It seems that Shuliduo received a 'gift' from him, which made her extremely nervous, fearing that the villains would assassinate her.

As Qin Chuan was pondering, he suddenly heard Chi Meng beside him say curiously:

"Hey bro, that person's outfit looks really weird!"

He looked up and saw a strangely dressed, mysterious person in the distance at the end of the road.

This person wore a mask, a robe, and held a staff; his taut waist and abdomen were visible beneath his robe.

Her waist was slender and well-proportioned, and her figure was graceful; she looked like a woman.

At this moment, she was walking slowly towards him, her fair and slender legs treading lightly on the ground with her bare feet.

Upon seeing this person, Qin Chuan was quite pleased, his face beaming with smiles.

"He's the young man's friend."

Chi Meng was about to greet that person.

But this person raised his staff high and slashed down with the motion of a knife.

A blade of energy, several feet long, extended from the staff that resembled a vajra, slashing straight at Qin Chuan.

Chi Meng was stunned. Could a magic staff be used like this?

"very nice."

Qin Chuan looked at the sword energy and gave it a very high evaluation.

In his opinion, there are only a handful of swordsmanship techniques in the world that can be considered decent, and even fewer that are truly excellent.

Before this person appeared, no one in the world possessed swordsmanship worthy of his name.

The next moment, he also drew his Well Moon sword and unleashed a burst of sword energy.

It collided with and neutralized the person's sword energy without bias or excess.

"Hey bro, let me help you!"

Chi Meng was an amateur when it came to swordsmanship and thought the two were evenly matched.

She raised the jade flute to her lips, preparing to use the technique of controlling the poison with sound to fight the enemy alongside Qin Chuan.

However, this person suddenly released the staff in his hand and took off the mask on his face, revealing a beautiful face that was both elegant and heroic.

"so beautiful!"

Chi Meng couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

If it weren't for the faint freckles on her face, it could be called the most beautiful face in the world.

Even though she has freckles, they don't detract from her beauty; instead, they give her a unique, wild beauty.

"Don't think that just because you're pretty, I won't have the heart to use my curse on you!"

Chi Meng shook her little head, reaffirming her stance.

She played the jade flute, controlling the Gu worms.

However, the person's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

When she reappeared, she had already rushed into Qin Chuan's arms like a swallow returning to its nest, tears welling in her eyes:

Chi Meng suddenly remembered that Qin Chuan seemed to be the teacher of Yelü Abaoji's daughter.

She still thought Yelü Abaoji's daughter was a little girl.

But the girl in front of her looks to be about the same age as her!

Chi Meng was naturally unaware that Yelü Zhiwu was indeed two years younger than her, but simply more precocious.

"Why is such a big girl still crying?"

Qin Chuan chuckled and patted Yelü Zhiwu's shoulder in his arms.

He also felt a stirring in his heart, a feeling akin to that of a disciple who has just come of age.

Perhaps due to his influence, Yelü Zhiwu reached the realm above the Great Heavenly Rank earlier than originally planned.

By this time, she had officially assumed the position of High Priest of the Northern Desert and was respectfully addressed as 'Aogu'.

However, in his presence, Yelü Zhiwu was still the same pitiful yet stubborn little girl she had been back then.

"My master taught me to cry when I want to cry and laugh when I want to laugh!"

Yelü Zhiwu looked up and stared directly into Qin Chuan's eyes, her vision blurred with tears.

Upon suddenly seeing her long-awaited master, she only cried after demonstrating the results of her years of cultivation, which was already quite restrained.

"What I say may not be entirely correct."

Qin Chuan shook his head and chuckled.

He had taken Shuliduo's casual remark, "Wipe away your tears, don't let anyone see," seriously for so many years.

It seems that, just as the beautiful woman said, her little apprentice is showing signs of being a master-disciple freak.

However, this is still better than turning her into a tool in Shurido's power struggle.

Just like many years ago, he patted the top of her head.

Yelü Zhiwu closed her eyes, enjoying Qin Chuan's gentle head pat.

"Hey bro, it's me! It's me!"

Chi Meng raised her little hand, indicating that she wanted to as well.

Qin Chuan readily granted her request, even though it was just a small one.

"who are you?"

Yelü Zhiwu glanced at Chi Meng, her gaze somewhat unfriendly.

She didn't want to share her master's affection with others.

"I am his younger sister!"

Chi Meng looked at Yelü Zhiwu with great pride.

Yelü Zhiwu almost doubted that he had heard correctly.

This girl isn't much older than her, so why is she allowed to be her junior teacher's wife?

Chapter 68 Shuliduo is terrified; her little apprentice goes on a long trip.

Sensing that the two girls' conversation was heading in a potentially unpleasant direction, Qin Chuan quickly changed the subject:

"Xiao Wu, have you met your father?"

This was obviously a rhetorical question. Yelü Zhiwu had never met Yelü Abaoji, so how would he know that he had arrived at the Northern Desert Royal Court?

So he added another sentence:

Why don't you spend more time with him?

“Father is back, I can see him every day now, but Master…”

As Yelü Zhiwu spoke, his face darkened.

She knew Qin Chuan would definitely leave again soon, and who knew how many more years she wouldn't see him then.

"Now that you're all grown up, if you want to see your master in the future, you can come to the Xuanming Sect headquarters in the Central Plains anytime. Even if your master isn't there, someone will help you make contact."

Qin Chuan reached out and stroked her little head, smiling slightly.

He didn't tell Yelü Zhiwu his identity before because he was afraid the young girl would overthink it, but now he naturally doesn't care.

"But, Mother..."

Yelü Zhiwu lowered his head, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Her mother would never allow her to leave the northern desert alone.

In particular, after the recent incident involving Yelü Lige, the Empress Dowager has kept her by her side at all times.

She wouldn't have come out at all if she hadn't been so eager to see her master.

"Your mother..."

Qin Chuan sighed softly.

The influence of Shuliduo on Yelü Zhiwu is not so easy to completely eliminate.

It is already extremely difficult for Yelü Zhiwu to have his own ideas and pursuits.

"Sir, it is an honor to have you here. I have failed to greet you properly."

Shuliduo arrived at that very moment with Yelü Abaoji.

Besides the dual-wielding female warrior, Shiri Kika, she also brought a large group of northern desert warriors, clearly indicating her lack of security.

As soon as Shuliduo arrived, Yelü Zhiwu immediately put on a mask and transformed back into the mysterious and enigmatic Aogu.

"Your Majesty, it has been a long time."

Qin Chuan glanced at Shuliduo indifferently.

Over the years, the Empress Yingtian's aura of authority has only grown stronger, and her appearance has remained largely unchanged. She doesn't seem like Yelü Zhiwu's mother, but rather her elder sister.

"I heard from the King that you want to reforge the Longquan sword. Is the Longquan sword in your possession?"

Shuliduo was not there to greet Qin Chuan; she had long been aware of the Longquan Treasure.

"They are in the hands of my two friends. They will send them over soon. Would Your Majesty like to see them?"

A subtle smile appeared on Qin Chuan's lips.

If Shuliduo dares to covet the Longquan treasure, her name will likely be added to Yuan Tiangang's kill list.

He was willing to grant her wish.

"This Empress..."
