Chapter 345 – Sword Technique Page One, First Cut the One You Desire

Li Xuerou having such thoughts wasn't entirely her fault.

After all, she wasn't familiar with the Sect Master, and had hardly ever seen him. Moreover, the rumors about his personality and temper weren't exactly flattering!

In fact, it wasn't just Li Xuerou; even Meng Fan kept a respectful distance from the Sect Master.

But Yang Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry. Although the Sect Master's reputation isn't great outside, those of us who know him well are aware that he fiercely protects his own.

As for your concern that the Sect Master might be wary of you, that's completely unfounded.

Even if you were truly the reincarnation of the Peony Ancestor, the Sect Master wouldn't be wary of you.

Perhaps, even at her peak, the Peony Ancestor wouldn't have been a match for the Sect Master!"

Hearing Yang Ling's words, both Meng Fan and Li Xuerou were wide-eyed with surprise.

The fact that the Peony Ancestor could reincarnate proved she had once been an Earthly Immortal.

A legendary Earthly Immortal!

The Sect Master hadn't even crossed his tribulation, yet his strength was close to that of an Earthly Immortal?

Unbelievable!

Meng Fan's inner fear and awe of the Sect Master deepened.

"You can completely trust the Sect Master. As long as you remain disciples of Shu Mountain, whether you're the reincarnation of an Earthly Immortal or a demonic overlord, the Sect Master will never harm you. He'll always have your back!"

These words were incredibly reassuring.

Li Xuerou was clearly convinced by Yang Ling, her face full of excitement and relief.

But Meng Fan remained uneasy.

No matter how convincingly Yang Ling spoke, it couldn't hide the fact that the Sect Master was known to be petty. Meng Fan had heard this more than once and was certain of it.

Knowing so many of the Sect Master's secrets was a potential danger.

Even if the Sect Master wouldn't harm him, he would definitely "warn" him!

So, no matter what, Meng Fan would remain vigilant around the Sect Master.

Besides, could a demonic path infiltrator like the Sect Master really be as righteous as Yang Ling claimed?

"Master, should we return to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect now?" Li Xuerou quickly asked.

Although Meng Fan still held his reservations, Li Xuerou was undoubtedly convinced.

However, Meng Fan didn't doubt Yang Ling's words about the Shu Mountain Sword Sect supporting Li Xuerou. He absolutely believed that.

He also believed the Sect Master would act accordingly!

What he didn't trust was the Sect Master's character and integrity.

"I'll find an excuse to take you back to Shu Mountain later. You should also come up with an excuse. Remember, don't tell the Hundred Flowers Sect that you revealed your reincarnation as the Peony Ancestor to us," Yang Ling instructed Li Xuerou.

"Understood, Master," Li Xuerou nodded.

The three stood up, and Yang Ling put away the three chairs.

"You go ahead and subtly ask the Hundred Flowers Sect if you can return to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect for a while and come back later.

If they don't stop you, it means they might genuinely be friendly.

If they try to stop you, it means they're essentially imprisoning you. In that case, I'll step in, and if necessary, I'll return to Shu Mountain for reinforcements," Yang Ling instructed seriously.

"Alright, I'll give it a try," Li Xuerou prepared to speak with the Clan Master of the Hundred Flowers Sect.

Meng Fan couldn't help but add, "Be careful."

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Li Xuerou smiled at Meng Fan before heading towards the Clan Master of the Hundred Flowers Sect.

Inside the Hundred Flowers Sect.

"Clan Master, I apologize for my Master's sudden visit. I apologize on her behalf.

Actually, it's mainly my fault. I didn't explain clearly when I left the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, which caused this misunderstanding.

I plan to return to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect to handle some matters and will come back to the Hundred Flowers Sect afterward.

I'm truly sorry for causing you such trouble!" Li Xuerou said apologetically to the Clan Master of the Hundred Flowers Sect.

To her surprise, the Clan Master didn't stop her and said, "It's fine. If you have matters to attend to, go ahead and return to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. But remember, the doors of the Hundred Flowers Sect will always be open to you, after all..."

The Clan Master's tone was calm, and although she didn't finish her sentence, everyone understood.

Li Xuerou turned and easily left the Hundred Flowers Sect, boarding Yang Ling's flying boat.

Moments later, the flying boat, carrying the three of them, was on its way back to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

The ease with which the Hundred Flowers Sect allowed Li Xuerou to leave was somewhat unexpected to Yang Ling.

"If they didn't stop you from leaving, why did they try so hard to prevent me from seeing you before? I just can't figure it out!" On the flying boat, Yang Ling muttered to herself, puzzled.

Meng Fan also couldn't understand.

As for Li Xuerou, she didn't bother thinking about it.

The Clan Master of the Hundred Flowers Sect treated her very well, so she instinctively didn't doubt her.

However, out of caution, she agreed with her Master's advice.

After all, it concerned her own safety. If she didn't take it seriously, it would be unreasonable.

Not only would she be letting her Master down, but she would also appear foolish and naive.

"Meng Fan, how did you know I was at the Hundred Flowers Sect? Did Zhong Lingxiu really tell you? You two seem quite close. Could it be that she likes you?" Li Xuerou asked gossipingly on the flying boat.

Yang Ling remained indifferent, seemingly uninterested in such trivial matters, but her ears twitched slightly.

Indeed, no one could resist gossip, not even a high-level expert like an Elder of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect!

Meng Fan glared at Li Xuerou and shook his head, "What nonsense are you talking about? I only met her once and asked her to help find out about you. Based on her reactions during our conversation, I deduced that you were at the Hundred Flowers Sect."

Li Xuerou pursed her lips, clearly not believing him.

"Just one meeting? Could it be love at first sight?

That Zhong Lingxiu from the Hundred Flowers Sect is indeed very beautiful. I've rarely seen anyone more beautiful than her.

Meng Fan, I don't believe you wouldn't be moved!"

"Just mind your own business," Meng Fan rolled his eyes, too lazy to explain.

Although he agreed with Li Xuerou that Zhong Lingxiu was indeed very beautiful, he genuinely wasn't interested.

Because women would only slow down his cultivation!

The more beautiful the woman, the greater the distraction.

Meng Fan had once studied the Supreme Heartless Sword Technique. Although he didn't think much of it, it did have some valuable insights.

With no woman in his heart, his sword would naturally be divine!

The first page of the sword technique: First, sever the one you love!

Although Meng Fan wasn't that extreme, he didn't want any woman to affect his cultivation speed.

As he thought about it...

Zhong Lingxiu's face appeared in his mind again. He had to admit, it was extremely beautiful.

His cultivation speed was already very fast. Maybe slowing down a bit wouldn't be so bad.

Ridiculous!

Meng Fan mentally scolded himself, driving the absurd thought from his mind.

What was he thinking?

Was he also a lecher?

And a low-level one who only cared about looks?

Impossible!

Meng Fan would never admit to that.
