Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

He Miaomiao did not ask Su Li to make a decision immediately, but instead gave Su Li a day to consider it.

Today, Su Li naturally had to give He Miaomiao an answer.

"Greetings, senior."

Looking at the little girl in front of him who was only up to his thigh, Su Li bowed.

Every time Su Li addressed this "little girl" as "senior," she felt somewhat out of place.

"Ah."

While eating candied hawthorns, He Miaomiao gazed into the distance from the top of Jianbei Peak.

The girl's short, fair legs dangled over the cliff, swaying gently as if they were rippling across the lake.

Looking into He Miaomiao's big, bright eyes, Su Li had no idea what was going through her little mind...

"Why are you standing? Come on, sit down..."

He Miaomiao patted the grass beside her.

Su Li did not refuse and sat down.

Then, together with He Miaomiao, they gazed into the distance.

For some reason, looking at the little girl beside her, Su Li felt as if she were taking care of her own daughter...

He Miaomiao took a bite of the candied hawthorn and mumbled between chews:

"Su Li, what have you decided? Do you want to join our Henyi Sword Sect?"

Although your sword hall in the Holy Land of Qianling is indeed quite good.

But your kendo talent will only be buried there.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior." Su Li shook his head. "But I'd better not. I'm quite used to staying in Qianling Holy Land and I don't plan to move."

"Alright then, I won't force you."

As if she had already guessed Su Li's choice, He Miaomiao was not surprised at all.

From her storage bag, He Miaomiao took out a sword cultivation manual: "This manual is one I created myself, and it also contains my daily insights. Take a look when you have time. Alright, let's go. I'm going to stay a little longer."

"Senior...this isn't quite right..."

A legendary swordsman's self-created swordsmanship techniques and insights.

This is no small token of appreciation.

He Miaomiao rolled her eyes at Su Li: "If I told you to keep it, then you can keep it. There's no need for this push and pull. It's not like we're exchanging New Year's greetings or receiving red envelopes. This isn't about favors; it's just that I find you pleasing to the eye."

Yes, that's right.

You're much more pleasing to the eye than your master.

"Senior, have you met my master?" Su Li asked.

"It's more than just having seen it..."

He Miaomiao seemed to have remembered something, and her teeth were itching with hatred.

"..."

Su Li originally wanted to ask about her lousy master.

But now, Su Li felt it was better to forget about it.

It wouldn't be worth it if I got slashed by his sword.

"Alright, you can go now."

He Miaomiao yawned and rubbed her eyes like a little kitten.

Su Li stood up, said goodbye, and left.

However, Su Li had only taken two steps when he turned around: "After some thought, I feel it's not appropriate to accept your cultivation techniques and insights for nothing. As for the sword intent of the Heavenly Annihilation Stele, if you don't mind..."

"It's unnecessary."

He Miaomiao shook her head.

"The sword intent of the Heavenly Absolute Stele is your opportunity. I am giving you my mental cultivation techniques and insights not to gain your gratitude or to deliberately exploit your opportunity."

Moreover, at my level, even the most powerful sword intent is useless.

As she spoke, a hint of sadness and sorrow appeared in He Miaomiao's eyes.

"My swordsmanship is no worse than anyone else's! I have that confidence!"

She told me that in today's world, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is no longer sufficient for me to enter those two legendary realms!

But I just don't believe it!

I have spent just as much time on Kendo as anyone else!

My talent is no less than anyone else's!

So what if spiritual energy is scarce these days?!

I, He Miaomiao, will continue to move forward!

As she spoke, He Miaomiao turned to the side and smiled slightly at Su Li:

"Kid, I know what you're going to say."

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is now reviving, and I will naturally attain the legendary second realm in the future.

The Heavenly Absolute Stele Sword Intent you comprehended is also incredibly profound, and it may become the opportunity for me to reach the legendary lost second realm!

But I refuse!

He Miaomiao stood up, took a big bite of the candied hawthorn, and spat out the hawthorn seeds from Jianbei Peak.

"I don't want to wait until the spiritual energy of heaven and earth recovers, so I can take advantage of this opportunity!"

I don't need to rely on the sword intent of the Heavenly Absolute Stele to break through!

That's not the path for me!

"I, Hemiao Miao, have my own path!"

Listening to the somewhat childish yet passionate words of the Sect Master of the Henyi Sect, Su Li was also quite excited:

"So, it's not that the senior couldn't comprehend those thirty-six sword tablets, but that he didn't want to."

No, that's not true.

He Miaomiao turned her head proudly.

"I just couldn't comprehend the thirty-third Heavenly Annihilation Stele no matter what I did, so I got angry! I simply stopped trying to comprehend it!"

Su Li: "..."

Su Li didn't know how to comment on He Miaomiao.

Perhaps, this sect leader of the Henyi Sect is the one with the true nature?

"Alright, alright, you can go now."

He Miaomiao continued to face several mountain peaks.

"Don't disturb me while I'm enjoying the scenery. Remember, no matter how powerful your sword intent is, you must forge your own path in the sword."

Any sword intent is not the pinnacle you seek, but rather a stepping stone to climb even higher.

"I have learned a lot from you."

Su Li bowed respectfully, then turned and left.

......

Are you sure you want to leave?

The peak master looked at the disciple before him, wielding the Asura Sword.

"Yes."

Fang Jiang bowed deeply.

"Thank you for your guidance over the years and for being taken in by the Henyi Sect."

"You want to leave the Henyi Sect and return to the temple?"

Fang Jiang smiled slightly and shook his head: "This disciple has left the Henyi Sect, but will not return to the temple."

Why?

Fang Jiang wore a curved sword at his waist and clasped his hands together.

“A disciple who returns to the Buddhist path does not necessarily have to return to a temple.”

A disciple may leave the Henyi Sect, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will no longer be a disciple of the Henyi Sect.

Upon hearing Fang Jiang's words, the peak master was first taken aback, then smiled:

"good."

……

……

[Salted Fish Diary: It rains a lot during the Qingming Festival, but the weather is kind to us and it didn't rain today.]

That old computer has been repaired. Although it's very slow, you get used to the slowness and it still works pretty well.

I still don't have many monthly votes. It would be even better if some handsome guy could cast a monthly vote for me...

Chapter 352 Do I have a grudge against her?

A man stood before the courtyard of the peak master on Sword Echo Peak.

The man was Liu Wu, the senior disciple of the Henyi Sect, who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.

In fact, many people believe that Liu Wu should be at the early stage of the Immortal Realm by now.

Even if one hasn't reached the early stage of the Immortal Realm, there is still the late stage or even the perfect stage of the Jade Purity Realm.

But that incident that year was a huge blow to Liu Wu.

Liu Wu has been in a state of confusion for the past few years.

Having spent so many years on the Peak of Contemplation, Liu Wu had never touched a sword again, and even his cultivation level had slightly declined.

Looking at the courtyard, Liu Wu did not move forward.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, Liu Wu took a deep breath and bowed outside the courtyard: "This unworthy disciple, Liu Wu, requests an audience with Master."

Liu Wu's voice slowly drifted over, but there was no echo for a long time.

After a long while, the gate in the courtyard opened, and a flying sword flew out of the house, hurtling towards Liu Wu.

Liu Wu instinctively caught the long sword.

This sword is the very one that Liu Wu used to carry.

"Get out, think it through before you come back."

Be smarter, don't make me save you like I did that year!

I'm not going to do that second trip, understand?!

"Disciple... obeys..."

With her sword strapped to her waist, Liu Wu brushed the hem of her robe and knelt down.

"When I return in the future, I will apologize to my master. I hope my master will take good care of himself."

Liu Wu kowtowed three times.

Just as Liu Wu got up to leave and was about to fly out of Sword Echo Peak, the voice of the Sword Echo Peak Master came from behind her:

"I didn't kill him with that sword strike back then."

Liu Wu paused slightly, his eyes already moist.

When Liu Wu left the Henyi Sect, she had already entered the early stage of the Jade Purity Realm.
