Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

As soon as the two entered the cave, the sharp-eyed Ao Qingyue was the first to run over.

After seeing Xueyue, she blinked, but still took the initiative to greet her, "Hello, Uncle Xueyue!"

Xueyue smiled and ruffled her hair.

Soon, Yin Ci and Xuan Su also came over after hearing the sound.

"Hello, uncle."

Yin Ci bowed politely to Xueyue.

Xuan Su, who was following behind her, showed half of his head and greeted her timidly and shyly: "Hello, Master... Master..."

Xueyue likes these three disciples accepted by her junior brother from the bottom of her heart.

She hid her hands behind her back with a smile, and said to the three people with a hint of mystery in her tone: "Guess what delicious food Master brought today."

Every time she came to this Youfeng Mountain, she would bring some homemade spiritual food to Ao Qingyue and the other two. They were already very familiar with this process.

The young man in white, who was in a much better mood, stood aside and watched their interaction with a smile on his face.

Ao Qingyue spoke first: "Roasted chicken!!"

Xueyue smiled and shook her head: "No."

Ao Qingyue looked a little depressed when he heard this.

Her favorite food is the roast chicken made by Master Xueyue.

After Yin Ci thought for a while, he said carefully, "Snowflake Crisp?"

Although he had only known Master Xueyue for half a month, Yin Ci already knew how much she liked Xuehuasu.

But after hearing Yin Ci's words, Xue Yue still smiled and shook her head: "Not really."

She looked at Xuan Su, who was hiding behind Yin Ci with only half of his head exposed, and asked gently, "Xiao Su, what do you think the delicious food Uncle Master brought?"

As if frightened by Uncle Xueyue's gaze, Xuansu's little head immediately shrank back, and his little hands tightly grasped the corner of Senior Sister Yinci's clothes.

After a while, she said in a very low voice: "Candied haws?"

Xueyue looked surprised: "Oh, you guessed it right!"

She spread her hands hidden behind her back in front of the three people, and saw that she was holding five crystal clear candied haws in her hands.

When Xuan Su heard that she guessed correctly, although she felt embarrassed, she also felt a little proud in her heart. After all, even her two senior sisters didn’t guess correctly, but she guessed it right!

Xueyue gave each of them a candied haws and said with a smile, "Go and play first. I have something to say to your master."

The three of them ran away sensibly.

"Here."

Xueyue handed a candied haws to the young man in white.

The young man in white took it and said with an admiring smile: "Senior Sister Xueyue, you are good at coaxing them."

He had just been standing next to Xueyue and saw with his own eyes that her hands were empty at first, until Xuan Su mentioned the word "tanghulu" and then she took out the "tanghulu" from her storage ring.

This method of coaxing a child is beyond my imagination.

Xueyue snorted softly: "Junior brother, you have to pay more attention to the other two disciples except Qingyue!"

The young man in white smiled bitterly and nodded.

He also knew the seriousness of the matter, but neither Yin Ci's inner demons nor Xuan Su's naturally timid nature could be changed overnight.

The two chatted as they walked.

"Although there are some problems, all three of them have great talents,"

Xueyue advised: "Junior brother, you must train them well and don't waste their talents."

"Yeah, I know." The young man in white said in a light voice.

The two seemed to have not chatted like this for a long time, and they were in a relaxed mood.

The young man in white told Xueyue about the interesting things he encountered during his travels in the world, and Xueyue also told him about what happened in Xuelingxu during this period.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

Xueyue stretched lazily, then suddenly turned her head and looked at the young man in white clothes beside her: "Junior brother."

The young man in white looked puzzled.

She smiled gently and said softly, "Good night."

Chapter 318: Xuansu's Heart

A few years later.

Inside the secret room of Aoxue Peak.

The young man in white slowly opened his eyes, and a divine light flashed in his eyes.

The peak of the eighth realm!

With the help of his master's teachings and his own hard practice over the years, he finally reached this realm.

Looking at her master who was sitting cross-legged in front of her, although her expression was the same as usual, the young man in white could now vaguely sense the weakness in her master's aura.

"what happened?"

Facing his gaze, the cold woman asked softly.

"Master, is it true that your injury cannot be cured?"

The young man in white couldn't help but ask.

Although he had asked this question countless times over the years, the cold woman's answer was always the same.

"It can't be cured." She shook her head slightly.

The young man in white's face darkened.

Seeing his appearance, the cold woman suddenly asked, "How are your preparations for promotion to the ninth realm going?"

The young man in white was stunned for a moment, then said honestly, "Disciple is ready."

"Then let's set it for three days later." said the cold woman.

Although the young man in white was somewhat puzzled by his master's decision, he still nodded: "Yes."

After bidding farewell to his master, he returned to this secluded peak.

"Master."

As soon as I entered the cave, a soft voice sounded.

The young man in white raised his eyes and smiled a little: "Xuan Su, how was your practice today?"

A quiet girl with waist-length black hair and a light blue dress stood not far away. She smiled softly when she heard the words and said, "Master, there are a few things I don't understand."

A year ago, Ao Qingyue and Yin Ci left Xuelingxu together and began to travel in the world. Only Xuansu was left to accompany him on this secluded peak.

"Oh?"

The young man in white was curious when he heard this: "What don't you understand?"

Xuan Su took a few steps forward and softly told his master about the difficulties he encountered in his practice.

After several years of getting along, the young man in white understood the personalities of his three disciples.

Ao Qingyue is cheerful and lively, and her warlike personality complements the swordplay she has learned. In just a few years, she has defeated all the young disciples in Xuelingxu and is in a very strong momentum.

Yin Ci is the complete opposite of Ao Qingyue. She is a man of few words and seems indifferent but kind. Although she rarely competes with others, her strength is not inferior to Ao Qingyue, and she is even more proficient in the method of spirit and soul.

Xuan Su is the most special. Although her cultivation is slightly weaker than Ao and Yin, she has a terrifying talent in cultivating the rare treasures of heaven and earth. What makes the young man in white feel even more precious is that she has a delicate mind that seems to be able to see directly into people's hearts.

"Master, I heard from several senior sisters that the boundary wall of the five domains is about to disappear? Is this true or false?"

After the master finished explaining the doubts in his practice, Xuan Su suddenly asked.

Although the young man in white is not popular in Xuelingxu and rarely interacts with other disciples, his three disciples are quite popular in Xuelingxu and have good relationships with many of the disciples.

Hearing Xuan Su's sudden question, the young man in white replied, "It's true."

Hearing this, Xuan Su showed a hint of curiosity on his face: "Did Grandmaster and Master say that?"

The young man in white nodded slightly: "Yes."

Xuan Su fell silent.

After a moment of silence, she said softly, "Will a bigger war break out in the Five Realms by then?"

Now the boundary wall of the five regions is still there, and the major forces in the Northern Region are already fighting each other. Once the boundary wall disappears, what kind of chaos will the five regions be in?

Xuan Su was picked up by her master in a city filled with smoke. She had experienced that kind of thing before and saw with her own eyes the battle between cultivators, blood spilling in the sky, and the bones of mortal cultivators piled up like mountains and blood flowing like rivers.

Although several years have passed, the bloody scene still appears in her dreams from time to time.

Sensing something wrong in Xuan Su's tone, the young man in white knew that she was thinking about those things again, so he stretched out his arms and hugged her gently: "Yes."

When she first accepted Xuan Su as her disciple, she often woke up in the middle of the night because of nightmares.

The young man in white didn't know about this at first, until late one night when he was practicing, he suddenly heard a faint crying sound. When he followed the sound, he found Xuan Su hiding under the quilt and crying.

The young man in white was also encountering such a thing for the first time, and he didn't know how to comfort her. He could only recall the actions of his senior sister when she comforted him, and gently held Xuan Su in his arms.

And after being hugged by him, Xuan Su would stop crying and slowly fall asleep in his arms.

Over time, the young man in white also knew how to comfort his little disciple.

Feeling the warm embrace of his master, Xuan Su's originally chaotic thoughts slowly calmed down.

She stretched out her arms to hug her master, put her cheek on his chest, and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Master, why did they start a war?"

The young man in white thought for a moment and gave his answer: "For cultivation resources."

No matter how big the Five Realms are, their resources are ultimately limited. So many sects and dynasties need to support countless cultivators, and the resources for cultivation are never enough. In order to have more resources, the only way is to expand the territory and seize other people's resources.

"Will we, Xuelingxu, also declare war on other forces?" Xuan Su asked.

"Won't,"

The young man in white shook his head: "There are few disciples in Xuelingxu, and the current resources are more than enough."

"Then why are other sects lacking cultivation resources?" Xuan Su asked again:

"The Thirteen Hidden Clans, the Cang Lei Holy Sect, and the Tong Bei Sect are all top sects. Even if they have more disciples than us, it shouldn't be too much more, right? Do they lack cultivation resources?"

The young man in white said honestly: "I don't know."

He had never had any contact with the monks from the three top sects, so he didn't know the truth.

"However, there is no such thing as too much cultivation resources. Even if they are not short of them, they should still make some."

What the young man in white had heard Senior Sister Xueyue talk about the most over the years was the affairs of the Thirteen Hidden Clans.

It is said that the top sect has been eyeing Xuelingxu covetously and harbors great ill intentions.

"Is that right?"

Xuan Su was silent.

She seemed to have thought of something, and hugged her master a little tighter: "I heard from Senior Sister Xueyue that you, Master, are the one who can break the impasse."

"Yes, I heard from Master that it was divined by Master Cang Xuan."

The tone of the young man in white also became lighter: "You probably don't know Master Cang Xuan. She is the master of the current peak master of Tianxuan Peak, Senior Sister Gong Yiya, and the former peak master of Tianxuan Peak."

"I heard from Master that Master Cang Xuan saw the future chaos a thousand years ago. For this reason, she gave up ascending to heaven and planned for a thousand years. Finally, she waited for me."

"To be honest, I don't know why I am the one who broke the deadlock."

The young man in white had misty eyes: "But once the five-domain boundary wall disappears in the future, I will do my best to stop the war."

Whether it was for Senior Sister Xueyue, Master, True Man Cangxuan and the others, or for his three disciples.

"Yes, I believe in Master."

Xuan Su hugged him tightly, and said firmly: "Disciple will practice hard and help Master in the future!"

The young man in white smiled and reached out to ruffle her hair: "Yeah."
