Emperor Qiankun

"Uh... Uncle Li, why are you here?"

The inner sect disciple's face was filled with astonishment, and his eyes were full of surprise.

He obviously didn't expect to meet Li Qingyuan in such a situation, and was at a loss for a moment.

He forced a smile that was uglier than crying, and rubbed the corners of his clothes nervously with his hands, trying to ease the extremely awkward atmosphere.

Li Qingyuan also stopped smiling, frowned slightly, and deliberately put on a stern face to look extremely serious.

Then he jumped lightly from the high wall and landed steadily on the ground.

Li Qingyuan looked at the disciple holding his buttocks with a look of pain on his face and couldn't help but teasing him, "You...don't bang your head against the wall if you can't get over it."

The disciple grimaced in pain and cried out, "Uncle Li, you're such a beast!"

Hearing this, Li Qingyuan suppressed a smile, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, and asked, "Do you know me?"

The disciple nodded: "Of course I know you. I saw you at the office yesterday."

Li Qingyuan continued to ask: "Then what do you want from me?"

"Oh, my memory is so bad. I almost forgot something!"

The disciple slapped his head suddenly and continued, "The Sect Master asked me to invite you over."

"metropolitan?"

Li Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, a look of confusion in his eyes, and then asked: "Where is the sect leader? Did you say what you want to see me about?"

"The Sect Master is in the main hall of Xuanyun Peak."

The disciple shook his head. "But Uncle Li, I'm just a messenger. How could I know what the Sect Master wants to see you about? The Sect Master simply told me to find you and then have you meet him at the Xuanyun Peak main hall."

"alright."

After hearing this, Li Qingyuan nodded thoughtfully.

Immediately, he left the room and rushed towards the main hall of Xuanyun Peak.

......

Along the way, Li Qingyuan frowned slightly, secretly wondering why the sect leader wanted to see him this time.

Is it because of the office?

But he quickly rejected this idea. The sect leader would not care about the trivial matters of the office.

But if it was related to the Heavenly Sword Tower, it didn't seem likely, as he didn't disclose the process of breaking through the level.

Moreover, the situation inside the Heavenly Sword Tower has always been kept secret. The Sect Master should not know about it so quickly. This possibility is not high.

Then...it could only be something related to Mr. Hua!

Thinking of this, he felt an idea in his heart and thought that this was the most likely possibility, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

After a full stick of incense, Li Qingyuan finally arrived at Xuanyun Peak.

From a distance, he saw the magnificent gate of the Xuanyun Peak Hall open.

Inside the hall, one can clearly see a figure sitting upright on the central seat in the hall.

Although the distance was still far, an invisible majesty emanated from it.

Seeing this, Li Qingyuan quickened his pace again, his clothes fluttering in the wind, making a rustling sound.

......

Not long after, he arrived outside the hall.

Li Qingyuan stopped, then bowed deeply toward the hall, and said loudly: "Disciple Li Qingyuan, I pay my respects to the Sect Master!"

"come in!"

Chen Xuanxiao's steady voice was heard from the hall.

Hearing the voice, Li Qingyuan straightened his clothes and walked into the hall.

Inside the hall, candlelight flickered and light and shadows danced on the walls.

In such a large space, there was only Chen Xuanxiao.

At this moment, he was sitting at the top seat with a solemn expression, looking at Li Qingyuan who walked in with deep eyes.

"Junior Brother Li, there's no need to be so polite. Come and sit down!"

Seeing Li Qingyuan walk in, Chen Xuanxiao smiled and greeted him warmly.

Li Qingyuan nodded in greeting, then walked forward and sat down at Chen Xuanxiao's gesture.

After Li Qingyuan sat down, Chen Xuanxiao's eyes were sharp as a torch, and he asked again, "Do you know why I came to see you today?"

"I don't know!"

Li Qingyuan shook his head slightly, his expression calm, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart: How would I know what you want from me!

But he knew that it was better to say less when the reason was unclear. After all, everyone knows that too much talk leads to mistakes.

So he just sat there quietly, waiting for the other party to continue speaking.

......

Chen Xuanxiao smiled slightly, seeming quite satisfied with Li Qingyuan's reaction.

He then said slowly, "Your performance in the Heavenly Illusion Secret Realm this time was outstanding, and you have made great contributions to the sect! Therefore, as a reward, I give you this space ring. Please accept it."

As he spoke, Chen Xuanxiao flipped his palm lightly, and a space ring shining with light appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Then, Chen Xuanxiao added, "Don't underestimate this space ring. It can store all the cultivation resources a Saint Son needs for three years."

When Li Qingyuan took the space ring, he didn't pay much attention to it and just thought it was an ordinary space ring.

But after hearing what Chen Xuanxiao said, he immediately used his soul consciousness to explore the inside of the space ring.

Upon seeing it, he discovered that the items inside were dazzling, including all kinds of rare elixirs, materials, and secret manuals of martial arts, all of which were of great benefit to cultivation.

"Thank you for the generous gift, Sect Master!"

Li Qingyuan spoke, and at the same time put the space ring into his arms.

......

At this time, Chen Xuanxiao spoke again and asked, "I heard that you showed off your might and power in the office yesterday. Is that true?"

There was a hint of a smile in his words, making it difficult to understand his true intentions.

When Li Qingyuan heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he thought that Chen Xuanxiao was going to blame him.

He quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Master, please understand. What I did in the office yesterday was because I couldn't bear to see the growing corruption within the Heavenly Sword Sect. That's why I resorted to such a desperate measure. I hope you will forgive me."

Seeing this, Chen Xuanxiao smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "I'm not blaming you. On the contrary, I think you've done an excellent job. If everyone in the Tianjian Sect were as dedicated to the sect as you are, then there's no need to worry about our Tianjian Sect being unable to regain its former glory!"

As he spoke, he raised his head slightly and looked into the distance, as if recalling the past years, and his eyes unconsciously revealed a trace of sadness that was difficult to conceal.

Li Qingyuan looked at Chen Xuanxiao and thought to himself: This person has not been contaminated by the corrupt atmosphere in the sect and still has a heart that cares about the sect.

......

"Then why don't you, Sect Master, take action yourself and change the current situation? The Heavenly Sword Sect is gradually declining, and you can see it with your own eyes. If this continues, the consequences will be disastrous."

Li Qingyuan asked bluntly.

"It's not that simple!"

Chen Xuanxiao sighed helplessly and said with a wry smile, "If I rashly propose a change, I'm afraid nearly half of the elders in the sect will not agree."

"Why?"

After hearing this, Li Qingyuan looked puzzled.

He really couldn't understand why those elders would watch the sect decline and still try to prevent changes.
