Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

In front of him, the cold woman also opened her icy eyes that were as deep as an icy abyss.

But at this moment, there was a hint of fatigue on her face.

"Master, you...you are passing on your cultivation to your disciples?"

The young man in white looked stunned.

"Yeah." The cold woman responded softly.

The young man in white had a dark expression on his face when he heard this: "Isn't this damaging your own cultivation?"

The cold woman did not answer, but got up and left the secret room.

Before leaving, she left a message: "Continue in half a month."

"..."

The young man in white looked at the empty secret room, speechless for a moment.

Why did Master want to pass on his skills to him?

"Junior brother?"

Just then, Xueyue's voice sounded behind him.

The young man in white turned around and looked.

I saw Xueyue walk into the secret room.

"What are you doing sitting here?"

Xueyue blinked and asked curiously.

"Just finished practicing,"

The young man in white forced a smile on his face: "Senior Sister Xueyue, have Qingyue and the others registered their identities?"

Xue Yue nodded quickly when she heard this: "Yes, they have been registered. Now they are official disciples of Xuelingxu."

Speaking of this topic, she couldn't hide the smile on her face: "Junior brother, where did you find your disciples? The three of them are very talented!"

Thinking back to when she took Ao Qingyue and the other two to register, the elder in charge of testing their talents was shocked after seeing their talents, and Xueyue felt very proud.

"Maybe it's fate,"

Hearing what Senior Sister said, the young man in white smiled and stood up: "Senior Sister, have you helped them pick out a room?"

There are quite a few rooms in his courtyard, but if Ao Qingyue and the other two don’t like them, they can also go to his senior sister’s place.

"I've already chosen it,"

Xueyue also looked a little puzzled: "But just now Master said that since you have accepted a disciple, you should move out."

The young man in white looked confused: "Move out?"

Xueyue looked at him and couldn't help but chuckle: "I just want you to find a hilltop to use as your cave."

The young man in white became more and more confused: "Master, what do you mean?"

The more he thought about it, the weirder it seemed.

The master called him back to Xuelingxu from his wandering career. First, he was willing to sacrifice his own cultivation to pass on his skills to him. Now, he wants to drive him out of Aoxue Peak. What is the reason for this?

"I don't know either, but Master must have her own ideas."

Xueyue didn't think as much as he did, and soon asked excitedly: "Junior brother, have you found a suitable mountain to be a cave?"

Before the young man in white could speak, she immediately said, "I have one here!"

The young man in white looked at her excitement and guessed, "Could it be that Senior Sister is talking about this Youfeng?"

Xueyue looked at him in surprise: "Junior brother, you actually guessed it?"

In the past ten years, you have been either at Aoxue Peak or at this Youfeng Peak.

The young man in white had a strange look on his face: "But isn't this your secret base, Senior Sister?"

Xueyue quickly shook her head, pointed at him, and then pointed at herself: "This is our secret base!"

She continued, "Junior brother, if you have no place to stay now, choose this Youfeng as your cave! This way I can always come to find you in the future. Otherwise, if this Youfeng is taken away by someone else, our secret base will be gone!"

The young man in white nodded and said, "If Senior Sister doesn't mind, then I will choose this Youfeng."

"Come on, come on, I'll take you to register." Xueyue pulled him away.

……

After registering with the elder, this secluded peak officially became the cave residence of the young man in white.

A few days later, the cave was completed and he moved to this secluded peak with his three disciples.

Without the hustle and bustle of walking outside, the life of the young man in white gradually became peaceful.

In addition to his daily practice and playing with Senior Sister Xueyue, he began to carefully guide his three disciples.

"You said you wanted to learn the way of the sword?"

Looking at the little girl with black hair and bloodshot eyes in front of him, the young man in white asked again.

Ao Qingyue put her hands on her hips and nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, yeah!"

Her face was filled with admiration, and her tone was full of expectation: "The sword and saber cultivators are so powerful. If my disciple can cultivate both sword and saber, he will definitely be invincible in the future!"

The young man in white encouraged with a smile: "In that case, in addition to your daily practice, you need to work harder on your sword skills."

Ao Qingyue nodded firmly, but soon she asked cautiously: "Disciple... Can I ask Master to practice with me?"

The young man in white was speechless: "Of course you can."

Ao Qingyue smiled and ran to the side to practice.

The young man in white turned his gaze towards the little girl with white hair and purple eyes and asked softly, "Yin Ci, what path do you plan to follow in the future?"

After several months of getting along, Yin Ci was no longer as lifeless as when we first met, but he still spoke very little and stayed quietly by the side.

Hearing the master's question, Yin Ci said softly: "Master, I want to learn the way of the sword."

The young man in white showed a hint of curiosity on his face: "Why do you want to learn kendo?"

Yin Ci's expression was somewhat gloomy: "My disciple's parents are sword cultivators..."

Hearing this, the smile on the young man's face suddenly disappeared. He stretched out a hand and gently rubbed Yin Ci's hair: "Well, then study hard."

"Thank you, Master."

With the comfort of her master, Yin Ci felt much better. She ran in the opposite direction of Ao Qingyue.

"I almost forgot that this child still has inner demons that have not been resolved." The young man in white looked at her back and sighed in his heart.

He retracted his gaze and looked at his youngest disciple: "Xuan Su, what kind of cultivation do you want to practice in the future?"

Xuan Su had a weak expression and a timid personality. He never dared to look others in the eye. When he heard what his master said, he kept his head down and whispered, "Disciple...disciple...hasn't...thought it over yet..."

She stammered as she spoke those few words, fearing that her answer would not satisfy her master, and there was a hint of tears in her tone.

This child's condition is worse than Yin Ci's.

Looking at her timid appearance, the young man in white sighed in his heart.

He squatted down and said gently, "It's okay, think about it slowly, there is still a lot of time."

“Thank…Thank you, Master…”

Xuan Su became nervous and turned around and ran away.

Looking at his three disciples with different personalities, the young man in white felt emotional.

It seems that becoming a competent master is not easy...

Chapter 317: The Master's Secret

Half a month later.

The young man in white came to the secret room again.

The cold woman sat on the futon and looked up at him: "Why don't you sit down?"

The young man in white stood aside without moving, as if he didn't hear her words.

"Master,"

He hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke his mind: "I still want to practice on my own."

The cold woman frowned slightly.

"Now that the five-domain boundary is about to dissipate, if you, Master, fall in realm because of passing on your skills to your disciples, who will be able to protect the Snow Spirit Ruins?"

The young man in white said slowly.

Although the skills his master taught him each time could offset several years of hard work, the young man in white could never accept such a self-serving thing at the expense of others.

So this was the first time since he became his master's disciple that he disobeyed his master's order.

The cold woman remained silent.

Just when the young man in white was trying to find an excuse to leave, she suddenly said, "I don't have much time left."

The young man in white was stunned.

After a while, he came back to his senses and looked at his master in disbelief: "How is this possible..."

Master has only been practicing for a hundred or two hundred years, right? With her cultivation at the peak of the ninth realm, shouldn't her life span be over a thousand years?

The cold woman had an indifferent expression and spoke in a cold tone: "Several decades ago, I was injured in a thunderstorm and my foundation was damaged. Although I was lucky enough to survive, my life span has been reduced by 80% or 90%. If I calculate the time, I don't have many years left to live."

She looked at the young man in white with dim eyes and said, "I won't live to see the day when the five-domain boundary wall disappears."

"And you were born in accordance with the destiny. You are the one who will break the impasse as predicted by Master Cang Xuan. In the next few hundred years, the Five Realms will need you."

"Rather than taking my cultivation to the grave, I would rather help you reach the pinnacle of the Great Dao as soon as possible."

"Sit down," she said softly.

The young man in white was confused.

He himself didn't know when the power transmission ended. When he opened his eyes again, the cold and beautiful figure was no longer on the cushion in front of him.

Master...

The young man in white looked confused.

……

It's a sunny day today.

Xueyue hummed a little tune while watering the flowers and plants in the yard.

"Dong dong dong..."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by a young man's voice: "Senior Sister, it's me."

Xueyue's eyes lit up, and she ran to open the door: "Junior brother!"

To her surprise, the young man in white standing outside the door had his usual gentle smile on his face, but his expression was filled with a dazed look that Xueyue had never seen before.

The smile on her face slowly faded: "Junior brother, what's wrong with you?"

Xueyue was a little at a loss and could only pull the young man in white to sit down in the yard.

"Sister,"

The young man in white was stunned and said: "Master, she..."

Although the young man in white had not had much interaction with his master other than issues regarding cultivation over the past ten years, as he was one of the few people he knew in Xueling Ruins and the first person he saw after waking up, he had always had respect and affection for his master in his heart.

The young man in white was in a state of confusion, and he did not even go back to this secluded peak. Unknowingly, he arrived at Xueyue's residence.

Xueyue listened quietly to the young man in white's confession, and did not say anything to comfort him. Instead, she opened her arms and hugged him.

evening.

Xueyue brought the young man in white back to the secluded peak.

"Master!"
