Chapter 573: Reencounter with Bai Feier
"...Fellow Daoist Gu, please."
Senior Brother Qing's lips twitched, and he led the way.
He was naturally annoyed by Gu Heng's retort, but he wanted to avoid making a scene here. He had finally found such a quiet place to rest, and he didn't want to cause any trouble that might attract the monsters.
"Thank you."
Gu Heng continued walking forward.
It's only about ten steps away.
This is a small clearing that has been cleared by humans. Many of the surrounding trees and bushes have been cleared away, leaving space for people to sit or lie down and rest. Gu Heng glanced around and saw at least a dozen people in the clearing, all of them young sword cultivators resting.
"Haha, we've finally arrived!"
Finally, I saw other people, at least there was some human presence, which made me feel a little more at ease.
Bai Feier was sitting cross-legged on a large blue stone with her eyes closed. When she sensed other auras coming from her, she looked up.
Then I saw Gu Heng.
"Senior Sister, Shuying and Shutao have returned, as well as this Fellow Daoist Gu, who says he is acquainted with you..."
Just as Senior Brother Qing was about to report, he saw Bai Feier suddenly jump up from the bluestone, her face full of surprise.
"Young Master Gu...?"
She was utterly astonished.
I never expected to see Gu Heng here! "Oh my, Miss Fei'er is still full of energy. She must be doing well now."
Gu Heng was very happy to be able to reunite with familiar people in such a place.
After all, it had been a very long time since Gu Heng last saw Bai Feier. In any case, Gu Heng had not heard any news about Bai Feier since leaving the Ancient Secret Palace.
But he wasn't worried. After all, Bai Feier had been taken in as a disciple by the number one swordsman in the world. Even if her future wasn't smooth sailing, she certainly wouldn't suffer any losses. So Gu Heng was quite at ease with Bai Feier.
“Mmm…” Bai Feier nodded quickly: “It’s been a long time, and Young Master Gu looks quite different.”
"I owe it all to you back then, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to be accepted as a disciple by my master."
Upon seeing an old acquaintance, the previously tense atmosphere naturally eased considerably. Gu Heng smiled and said, "It was nothing at all."
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Shu Tao and Shu Ying behind him, saying, "I've brought these two girls back to you. I met them in the Dragon Scorpion Desert and rescued them on the way."
Shuying, Shutao, and Senior Brother Qing were all quite embarrassed.
Because Bai Feier's gaze wasn't even on them, especially Senior Brother Qing. Seeing that Bai Feier was really so familiar with this guy named Gu Heng, he suddenly couldn't understand it.
This guy seems ordinary, and not even very capable, so how did he get to know a girl as privileged as Bai Feier?
This senior sister is extremely famous in the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect. She is a super prodigy who has obtained the "Sword Immortal" inheritance!
Not to mention the "Immortal Palace" divine sword that has been recognized as its master.
Bai Feier's cultivation level has been advancing by leaps and bounds since joining the sect. She is now at the Integration Stage, making her the youngest Integration Stage cultivator in the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect. If she were any stronger, she could become an elder! Even the sect leader, who is usually absent from the sect and is considered the number one swordsman in the world, has returned to the sect to cultivate this more outstanding and talented prodigy than herself!
Every disciple in the sect revered her, yet this incredibly powerful and unapproachable senior sister actually had a relationship with this seemingly ordinary and unremarkable guy.
Moreover, judging from their appearance, they seem to have a close and very deep friendship.
Senior Brother Qing suddenly felt very unbalanced, but there is never any balance in the world.
When I feel frustrated, I can only keep it to myself.
"You two are alright, go and rest. And you, go back to your post."
Bai Feier casually glanced at the other three people who couldn't fit into the atmosphere and dismissed them with a single sentence.
"Yes!"
The two sisters, Shu Tao and Shu Ying, didn't care. Although they were also very interested in the "relationship" between Gu Heng and Bai Feier, they were too tired and just wanted to rest. As for Senior Brother Qing, he could only retreat in silence.
"Young Master Gu, what brings you here?"
With no outsiders around, Bai Feier relaxed a lot. She was already quite relaxed in front of Gu Heng.
"Well, it's a long story, and it's a bit embarrassing, so let's not talk about me. How's your sect doing lately?"
“What are you talking about…?”
"Didn't a small Xuan Tian Realm appear, and some immortals came down to take over affairs? I wonder if the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect has been affected in any way?"
"Heh... of course there are some."
Bai Feier said self-deprecatingly.
“The Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect is the most powerful sect in the Western Regions. In the past, we were the ones giving orders to others. But now, suddenly there is a ‘Liu Huo Xuan Xian’ giving orders to us. It’s not a good situation.”
"But everyone was quite excited."
Gu Heng was somewhat puzzled: "Excited?"
"That's right, because now, we can finally ascend to immortality again. The moment Master learned that the path to immortality had reopened, she immediately broke through to the ninth level of the Supreme Saint Realm."
Bai Feier shrugged.
Her cultivation progressed too rapidly, so she knew she couldn't quickly understand those ancient monsters who had been stuck in the "mortal realm" for so long without breaking through, but now had hope, like a person about to die of thirst finding the light of an oasis.
"Moreover, recently the Little Xuantian Realm has also been considering allowing the supreme cultivators here in the Xuantian Realm to attempt to ascend to immortality."
Bai Feier then dropped another bombshell that Gu Heng was unaware of…
