The vicious female supporting role in the book cultivation world is crazy and involuntarily

"Senior brother."

A flash of white came into view. Lu Zhaozhao looked at the man in front of her. He had an elegant and untouched temperament, but unfortunately, he could not hide his sickly appearance.

"Junior sister."

Ying Che smiled softly, as if relieved, and walked towards her.

"Just now, someone said you were back and I couldn't believe it. Now, I can finally put my heart at ease."

After saying that, he seemed to want to touch Lu Zhaozhao's head as usual, but she dodged him without a trace. Ying Che's hand froze in the air, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"I'm relieved to see that Senior Brother is fine. I heard that Master is in seclusion and doesn't see outsiders except Senior Brother. I wonder if Senior Brother can take me to see Master."

Lu Zhaozhao went straight to the point and didn't intend to dwell on it any further.

Ying Che concealed his awkward expression and returned to his usual demeanor, saying, "You should go and see Master when you return, but Master is upset right now and might not want to see anyone."

Lu Zhaozhao did not refute, but simply asked: "Brother, can you tell me what is the current level of Master's cultivation?"

Ying Che looked at her with some confusion and said, "Junior sister, why are you asking this?"

Lu Zhaozhao's face lit up. "Once a teacher, always a father. Isn't it natural for me to care about our Master? Or is it that Senior Brother is still wary of me?"

"Junior sister, you are overly suspicious." Ying Che frowned and quickly denied it.

He knew that Lu Zhaozhao was angry because he had previously favored Nian Zhi, but before... he didn't know why he believed Nian Zhi from the bottom of his heart. It was not until her identity as a demon was exposed that Ying Che realized how wrong he was.

So, he no longer concealed the truth and replied, "Master suffered a divine punishment and his cultivation level regressed. He should be in the Spiritual Transformation Realm now, estimated to be in the middle to late stages."

Lu Zhaozhao lowered his eyes, thinking secretly in his heart, and then raised his head to Ying Che and said: "I am really worried about Master. Please take me there, just for one meeting."

Ying Che frowned and was a little embarrassed, but looking at Lu Zhaozhao's eyes looking at him, he finally nodded.

The two walked in silence until they reached a cliff in a remote area of ​​the main peak.

Cliff of Regret.

Lu Zhaozhao frowned as she looked at the place where Emperor Huizong of the Qing Dynasty imprisoned disciples who committed serious crimes, thinking that it seemed that this incident had dealt a more serious blow to Yun Xian than she had imagined, to the point that the leader of a sect actually delegated his official duties and ran to this place himself.

Ying Che walked to a stone chamber, knocked on the stone door, and said respectfully: "Master, Zhao Zhao is back and wants to see you."

After a long time, no one answered.

Ying Che knocked again, but still no response.

He looked at Lu Zhaozhao helplessly and said to her: "Junior sister, you have also seen it. Master does not want to see anyone. It is better to go back first. Maybe he will agree later."

Lu Zhaozhao sneered, walked past Ying Che and went straight to the stone chamber.

"Junior sister!"

Ying Che was a little anxious and wanted to reach out to hold her, but Lu Zhaozhao waved him away with her sleeve.

She stood in front of the door and shouted, "Master, do you think that confining yourself is atonement? The entire Qing Huizong clan is in a dead silence, the disciples see no hope, and the elders are shrinking. All of this is caused by your mistake, Master. Now that it has come to this, you are hiding. What about all the people in the sect? Can they hide too?"

"Junior sister! Shut up." Ying Che was startled by her actions and hurriedly went up to pull her, trying to make her stop.

Lu Zhaozhao frowned and his voice became louder.

"When Master reached the Return to Void stage, others dared not speak of you. Even when you never handled any affairs, leaving everything to me, no one dared to question you. Now, you have regressed to the Divine Realm for a little love. Master, you may not know that I, your disciple, have already reached this level. Looking at the miserable state of the entire sect, don't you feel a bit of shame?"

"Enough!" Ying Che reached out to cover her mouth, but Lu Zhaozhao broke free.

"Master, please don't blame me. I've lost my mind!" He said as he tried to take Lu Zhaozhao away.

The stone door in front of him suddenly opened, and Ying Che paused.

Lu Zhaozhao broke free from him and walked straight inside.

Ying Che reacted and was about to follow when a voice came from inside.

"Ying Che, you stay outside, and only Lu Zhaozhao can come in."

Although he didn't understand, Ying Che still obeyed.

The stone gate was closed. The Cliff of Repentance was simply decorated. It was a place where serious criminals were imprisoned, so it was naturally deserted. There were rubble all around, and it was on the top of the mountain, so the cold wind penetrated into the bones.

Lu Zhaozhao walked in and could see the whole picture of the stone chamber at a glance.

There was only a stone bed in the dim room, and the environment was even worse.

A man stood with his back to her, looking at a painting hanging on the wall. It was the only decoration in this stone chamber. Just like what Elder Cang Jiong saw, it was a portrait of the Tiangang Immortal.

He looks very young from behind, except that he has a head full of white hair.

Lu Zhaozhao was a little hesitant to recognize him. He just stood there and asked, "Master?"

"Weren't you very bold outside just now? I thought you had changed your ways, why are you so reserved now that you come in?"

The man turned around, and Lu Zhaozhao widened his eyes. It was actually Yun Xian!

She was a little shocked. In just two years, his hair had turned gray and even his face looked much more haggard.

"Master, how did you get yourself into this state?"

She frowned and looked at Yun Xian disapprovingly. Yun Xian also noticed her gaze and said lightly: "If you think too much, your mind will be restless, your cultivation will not improve, and you will age."

It's really funny. Yun Xian is in his prime. If he said he was old, those old men in the world of cultivation would have become bones in the ground.

"Master often warns his disciples to be careful with their words and actions, and to set an example for all the other disciples. I have always taken Master as my role model, but after seeing him today, I am shaken."

Lu Zhaozhao's tone was filled with sarcasm, and Yun Xian knew it, but he was exhausted both physically and mentally and didn't want to think about it. He just asked, "Why did you come here today?"

"I originally wanted to ask Master to take up the reins, but now it seems that's not possible. In that case, why don't you step down?"

Lu Zhaozhao said calmly, as if asking about three meals a day.

"What did you say?" Yun Xian was a little bit unconvinced by what Lu Zhaozhao said. There was doubt in his eyes, as if he suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"I say, Master, why don't you give up your position?"

Lu Zhaozhao repeated his words again and added, "The Sect Master is the head of a sect, and his words and actions have a great influence on the disciples. Master is in his current state, so it is clearly unsuitable for this position. Fortunately, all matters within the sect have always been managed by my senior brother, so the handover will not be too complicated. In addition, Master's cultivation has declined and he is no longer interested in the sect. I think it is best for him to step down as soon as possible."

"How dare you! You've just returned and you're already thinking about seizing the throne! Where have you learned to respect your teachers?"

Yun Xian was furious and roared at Lu Zhaozhao.

Lu Zhaozhao didn't flinch either, and continued, "At least I won't belittle myself in front of the portraits of my ancestors, nor will I blindly trust foreign tribes and bring myself to ruin! Those who are capable should do what they can do, that's what you taught me, Master. I don't believe that Nian Zhi has been flawless for so many years. Even so, you still broke the rules and were tempted. Now that the outside world is devastated, the Qinghui territory has lost the protection of the sect and is even more devastated by war. Master, you hide here, staying here day after day, thinking it's punishment, but what about those innocent people who died? They didn't even have a place to hide. Do you really think you're innocent?"

After the conversation, Yun Xian couldn't help but be stunned. He stared at the disciple in front of him, as if he had never really seen her clearly.

Lu Zhaozhao's eyes were sharp. She had thought about the purpose of coming here today long ago, but what disappointed her was that as the protagonist of a book, Yun Xian really knew nothing about the world.

"Master, you can stay here as long as you want. After all, even if you suffer backlash, your cultivation is higher than that of ordinary people, so they naturally dare not do anything to you. But the disciples of the sect and the people protected by Qinghui still need to live. You cannot atone for your mistakes, so we disciples will take over. If you want to indulge in love, I will not persuade you."

"You..." Yun Xian calmed down and asked, "How long have you kept these words in your heart?"

"The moment I see you. Before this, I still had a glimmer of hope for you."

Lu Zhaozhao replied, his eyes full of disappointment.

Yun Xian sighed, looked back at the portrait hanging on the wall, was silent for a long time, and finally took off the seal of the leader hanging around his waist.

He clenched it in his palm until his bones ached, then he let go.

An arc passed by and Lu Zhaozhao caught it steadily.

"Today I will give this seal to you. You will discuss sect affairs with Ying Che. As for matters outside the sect... Cang Jiong is more familiar with them, so you should discuss them more with him."

After saying that, he turned around, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
