Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion
Chapter 344 – Sect Master, can we trust it?

Chapter 344 – Sect Master, can we trust it?

"Meng Fan, Master, I know what I'm about to say sounds unbelievable, but it's the truth.

You two are the closest people to me in this world, which is why I'm telling you this!

For the past year or so, I've been having these strange memories and fragments of cultivation techniques appearing in my mind, which is why I've been in seclusion.

After this recent seclusion, the memories have become clearer, especially a particular technique. I've almost fully mastered it."

Seeing the disbelief on Yang Ling and Meng Fan's faces, Li Xuerou explained helplessly.

Meng Fan actually believed her deep down. To be honest, he had a strong capacity for acceptance, given that he himself was a time traveler. Encountering a sister who was the reincarnation of an Earthly Immortal wasn't all that surprising.

Thinking about it, it made sense. No wonder this young lady had been in seclusion for so long and had been acting strangely.

"Memories and cultivation techniques in your mind?" Yang Ling murmured in surprise, her face showing a mix of doubt and wonder.

Looking at Li Xuerou's expression, she felt that Li Xuerou wasn't lying.

However, having memories and fragments of techniques in her mind didn't necessarily mean she was the reincarnation of an Earthly Immortal; there could be other explanations.

"Since you say so, I'll choose to believe you, as I trust you wouldn't lie to me.

But this matter might not be as simple as you think; it could be quite complicated.

By the way, let's set this aside for now. Why did you come to the Hundred Flowers Sect?

You can't have come just because of the memory fragments in your mind and abandoned your identity as a Shu Mountain disciple to join the Hundred Flowers Sect, right?

Regardless of whether you are the reincarnation of the Earthly Immortal from the Hundred Flowers Sect, in this life, you are a disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

If you leave the Shu Mountain Sword Sect directly to join the Hundred Flowers Sect, it would be considered betrayal.

Although I wouldn't blame you, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect wouldn't let it slide and would definitely punish you!

After all, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect has always been strict with its rules." Yang Ling said with a hint of helplessness.

As she said, even if she herself didn't blame Li Xuerou and hoped for a better future for her, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect wouldn't see it that way!

The vast Shu Mountain Sword Sect's rules were not to be challenged by anyone.

"Master, I have no intention of leaving the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. This trip to the Hundred Flowers Sect is not to join them.

I came to the Hundred Flowers Sect for the inheritance left by the Peony Ancestor!

Although I have some memory fragments and techniques of the Peony Ancestor in my mind, they are incomplete.

However, the memories mention an inheritance left by the Peony Ancestor in the Hundred Flowers Sect, and only the reincarnation of the Peony Ancestor can unlock it."

Although Li Xuerou spoke somewhat hastily and not very clearly, Meng Fan and Yang Ling understood her meaning.

She came to the Hundred Flowers Sect for the Peony Ancestor's inheritance.

And only the reincarnation of the Peony Ancestor could unlock this inheritance, which is why no one in the Hundred Flowers Sect had tried to claim it over the years.

If Li Xuerou could unlock the Peony Ancestor's inheritance, the Hundred Flowers Sect would certainly be pleased.

However...

Yang Ling, with her vast experience, immediately thought of the potential issues.

She looked at Li Xuerou and said, "My dear disciple, you are still too naive.

Even if what you say is true, there are significant risks involved!

You must understand, even if you are the reincarnation of the Peony Ancestor, there is a huge difference between the reincarnation and the original.

The biggest difference is in cultivation level!

Have you considered what would happen if you unlocked the Peony Ancestor's inheritance and someone from the Hundred Flowers Sect decided to take it from you?

I know you are kind-hearted, but you must be cautious of others.

Even if you are the reincarnation of the Peony Ancestor, your current cultivation level is not enough to resist if someone harbors ill intentions."

Hearing her master's blunt words, Li Xuerou was a bit stunned, as she hadn't thought that far ahead.

Because of the memory fragments in her mind, she had a good impression of the Hundred Flowers Sect, even considering it as home.

To her, the Hundred Flowers Sect and the Shu Mountain Sword Sect were both her homes and wouldn't harm her!

But now, hearing her master's words, her brows furrowed.

After all, although she was the reincarnation of the Peony Ancestor, in this life, she was still Li Xuerou, and her personality was dominated by Li Xuerou.

She couldn't ignore the risks her master mentioned!

Previously, she had indeed been too naive.

Fortunately, unlocking the Peony Ancestor's inheritance wasn't something that could be done overnight.

Otherwise, if she had unlocked it earlier, she might indeed have faced trouble.

"Xuerou, Elder Yang is right. You must be cautious of others." Meng Fan echoed.

After all, human nature is the most complex and the least trustworthy thing in this world!

"So what should I do?" Li Xuerou asked, feeling conflicted.

"Master, Meng Fan, this inheritance is too important to me. If I didn't know about it, I might not care, but now that I do, I can't just give it up. It would haunt me, and I wouldn't be able to focus on my cultivation!"

Meng Fan and Yang Ling exchanged a wry smile. They had already seen this coming; otherwise, this young lady wouldn't have come to the Hundred Flowers Sect alone.

Yang Ling thought for a moment and said to Li Xuerou, "What belongs to you should not be given up, nor should it be taken by others.

However, this matter might be more complicated than you think, so we need to plan carefully!"

Meng Fan remained silent.

This matter was beyond his capability, so he had no reason to offer any opinions.

After a moment, Yang Ling said, "This is a good thing for you, for the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, and even for the Hundred Flowers Sect!

The Hundred Flowers Sect might not have any ill intentions and might only have goodwill towards you, without any designs on the inheritance.

But we can't rely on others' goodwill for our safety. What if they do have ill intentions?

So we need to find a win-win-win solution!"

"What solution?" Li Xuerou asked eagerly.

"We need to return to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect to think this through. This matter can't be rushed. I'll report it to the Sect Master.

You don't need to worry too much. Since you are a disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, your benefits are the sect's benefits!

I believe the Sect Master will support you."

Hearing Yang Ling's words, Li Xuerou asked worriedly, "Will the Sect Master really help me? I'm the reincarnation of the Peony Ancestor. Won't that make the Sect Master wary? Master, I trust you completely, but I'm a bit uneasy about the Sect Master."
