the next day.

The main peak of Tianjian Mountain.

Tianjian Mountain is 3,000 meters above sea level, with its main peak towering into the clouds and covered in snow all year round.

At this moment, the main peak's plaza was already packed with people, numbering one or two thousand. Most of them were disciples of Tianjian Mountain, with a small number coming from various sects.

All eyes were fixed on the sword in front of them.

It was stuck in the ground, with only the hilt and the blade, about 20 or 30 centimeters long, remaining.

It is said that this sword was crafted by the founder of Tianjian Mountain with all his life's effort. It is a spiritual weapon that is over a thousand years old. What is amazing is that despite the erosion accumulated over the years, the sword still shines brightly.

The aura it exuded made everyone present feel inexplicably oppressed.

"I heard that this Sword-Opening Ceremony is quite different from the past. This time, no matter what sect or school you belong to, as long as you can draw the Heavenly Sword, you can take it away."

"Yeah, why is Tianjian Mountain being so generous? Could there be some kind of conspiracy?"

"Probably not. Sect Leader Tantai's character is trustworthy. She wouldn't go back on her word in front of so many people."

"Hey, it's just a joke. Even with so many powerful experts from Tianjian Mountain, they couldn't pull it out. For us small sects, isn't that just wishful thinking?"

"..."

Everyone was talking about it.

Tianjian Mountain is a powerful sect with a profound foundation, and Tantai Shuang's cultivation is at its peak. If even Tianjian Mountain itself cannot draw this sword, other sects dare not hope for it and can only watch the show.

"Look, isn't that Ye Qingwu?"

"Wow, it really is her! She's so beautiful! In the entire Heavenly Sword Mountain, besides Sect Master Tantai, she's the most beautiful."

"We insignificant people shouldn't even think about it. Ye Qingwu is not only a young lady of the Ye family, but also the number one genius of Tianjian Mountain. It is said that her cultivation has reached the peak of the acquired realm. Unless you are an exceptional person, you will definitely not be able to catch her eye."

"Even if we're not a good match, it's still nice to look at."

"..."

With Ye Qingwu's appearance, a small number of people turned their attention to her.

Although Tantai Shuang was more beautiful, she was a celestial fairy, to be admired from afar and not to be profaned, while Ye Qingwu was more like a princess in the mortal world, someone they could only dream of.

But it's just wishful thinking.

Someone of Ye Qingwu's status would never easily look down on ordinary people.

At this moment, feeling the admiring gazes of the crowd, Ye Qingwu did not feel secretly pleased. Instead, she looked around distractedly, trying to find that figure.

Last night, she called Liu Qingshan, who said he would be there soon, so he must be on the scene now.

Ever since she learned that Liu Qingshan was the sect leader's benefactor, she had secretly fallen in love with him, and other young talents were worthless in her eyes.

I wonder if Qingshan can pull out the Heavenly Sword.

"Qingwu, who are you looking for?"

Sensing that she was distracted, Cao Qiushui asked.

"Nobody!" Ye Qingwu smiled.

"Do you have someone you like?" Seeing Ye Qingwu's expectant look, Chao Qiushui, who had been through it all, naturally saw through her. "You're twenty-five or twenty-six years old this year. If you have someone you like, you should start thinking about your life's important matters."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingwu's cheeks flushed red.

With her head down, she said shyly, "They might not even be interested in me."

In the past, she and Liu Qingshan would have been a perfect match, both in terms of family background and cultivation talent. However, after learning about Liu Qingshan's hidden identity, she felt inferior.

In other people's eyes, she is a goddess, someone they can't reach, but she still feels inferior.

Cao Qiushui said, "By the way, that sect leader benefactor you mentioned, can he really cure Lü Liang's cultivation? Where is he? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

"I'm looking for him too."

Ye Qingwu looked at the crowd again, trying to find Liu Qingshan's figure.

But to my shock, I saw a familiar figure.

Ye Feng?

Why does that person look so much like Ye Feng?

Ye Qingwu thought she was seeing things, so she rubbed her eyes and looked again, only to find that they really looked very similar.

"Master, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving for a while."

Before Cao Qiushui could respond, Ye Qingwu hurriedly walked through the crowd toward the figure.

Only when they got to face him directly did they realize that it really was Ye Feng.

"Ye Feng, what are you doing here?"

She was utterly shocked when she saw Ye Feng.

You should know that Tianjian Mountain is heavily guarded, and it is impossible to enter without an invitation.

Upon seeing Ye Qingwu, Ye Feng appeared somewhat annoyed. He had tried his best to avoid her, but she still managed to find him.

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

Ye Feng replied impatiently and then turned to leave.

Spending any more time with her is torture.

However, Ye Qingwu grabbed him and said, "Tell me, did you secretly climb up the cliff?"

Ye Feng turned his head and shrugged. "So what if it is?"

Indeed, to avoid unnecessary trouble, he skipped the notification procedure and climbed up himself.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingwu was furious.

She quickly pulled him to a secluded spot and angrily demanded, "Tell me the truth: did you wipe out the Liu family and kill several of my junior brothers?"

She simply couldn't believe that Ye Feng possessed such abilities.

He was able to kill a half-step Innate Realm expert and break through the protective formation of Heavenly Sword Mountain. Such cultivation was something that someone as young as Ye Feng could not possibly achieve.

Unexpectedly, Ye Feng didn't hide anything and calmly nodded, "So what if it is? If you want revenge, come anytime!"

"what?"

Although Ye Qingwu was mentally prepared, she still found it hard to accept when Ye Feng admitted it himself.

Just how powerful is this guy's cultivation?

"Is there anything else? If not, move aside."

Ye Feng was about to return to the square when Ye Qingwu grabbed him tightly.

"Are you crazy? This news has already reached Tianjian Mountain. Now Lü Hanhai and the people of Tianjian Mountain want to kill you. You still dare to come here to die?"

Ye Feng could guess it, but he had no other choice but to do so for the sake of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul.

Seeing how anxious she was, Ye Feng teased, "Are you worried about me?"

Ye Qingwu was furious. What kind of time is this to make such a joke?

“I don’t care about you, but you are the apple of your grandparents’ eye, and I don’t want them to be sad about your death. Listen to me carefully, while no one has found you yet, I’m going to take you down the mountain right away.”

After saying that, she was about to pull Ye Feng away.

For some reason, although she was stubborn, deep down she didn't want anything to happen to Ye Feng.

After all, he was someone she had once admired, even if that admiration was just a naive feeling from childhood.

"I won't go down."

Ye Feng gently shook her off and walked back to the square, disappearing into the crowd.

Ye Qingwu stomped her feet in anger.

It's true that good deeds go unrewarded; someone with such a stubborn temper deserves to be beaten up.
