That night, Jiang Liqian and Xu Youan sat in the empty cave for a long time. They watched the stars together, looked at the moon together, and watched the bright sunlight gradually rise in the sky together.

She suddenly said to him: "Junior brother, I don't need you to kill for me. You are still young, so go your own way."

After saying that, she first returned to Zhenfeng to explain the whole story to her master, and then explained to her third senior sister who had come anxiously why she did not return home last night, and then went to Qiming Mountain to admit her mistake and accept the punishment.

Jiang Yueming asked her why she was so hostile to Gu Chengxue, but she remained silent.

Finally he waved his hand.

She was delighted to get the job of copying Buddhist scriptures at Lanxing Pavilion.

Still with half of the scripture book, she lit a candle, sat at the desk, picked up the pen and wrote. The scripture book on the desk was just placed symbolically. She had memorized every word in it clearly when she was punished to copy it in her previous life.

Because it is a punishment, the pen is an ordinary pen and the paper is ordinary paper. The copied scriptures will turn into ashes because the paper cannot withstand the ultimate principles of heaven and earth contained in them.

But it doesn’t matter, there will be a special record stone to record the number of scriptures she copied.

She copied day after day, with an indifferent expression, and never stopped writing. When the paper on the desk ran out, she would open it again, and when the pen and ink ran out, she would replace it again.

In the Lanxing Pavilion, she sat by the window, hoping that these lines of words could calm the anger in her heart.

She will meet Gu Chengxue again in the future. If she really kills him without caring about anything, it will only implicate her master. But how can she forget the hatred in her previous life?

"Click", the pen broke.

The great elder who had been stroking his beard and closing his eyes finally could not sit still anymore. He opened his eyes and sighed deeply.

"I say, Junior-Martial Brother Jiang, you've already broken your 312th brush. Even if they're worthless spirit stones, you can't waste them like this, right?"

Jiang Liqian didn't know that the elder was sitting in meditation in a corner beside the bookshelf. She put down her pen awkwardly and bowed deeply to him: "I am a dull disciple and have disturbed the elder's practice. I will find another place."

The elder waved his hand: "No need. If your mind is not at peace, it doesn't matter where you copy books."

Jiang Liqian felt so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

If I had known that she would choose this place, I should have scouted the "terrain" first to avoid making a fool of myself.

"You were thrown in here by that brat Jiang Yueming as punishment, right?"

Jiang Liqian lowered his head and replied with a folded hand: "...Yes, I made a mistake..."

The Great Elder stroked his beard and chuckled, his whole body imbued with the air of a sage. He beckoned Jiang Liqian closer, carefully examining her figure and spirit bones. Then, he asked with a smile, "Are you the new disciple that the Third Elder gave Qingzhi?"

Ah, how should she answer this?

It is said that the headmaster actually wanted to take her in as his personal disciple, but she didn't agree?

"disciple……"

"Oh, I didn't look closely just now. You are so young, but you have already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining? I guess you must have extraordinary spiritual roots?" The Great Elder widened his eyes in surprise, as if he had suddenly discovered a new continent.

Then he smiled and said, "It seems that the Third Brother didn't force me here. I think he was a disciple personally accepted by Qingzhi. Is he practicing the Tonghui Sword Technique? What level have you reached?"

Jiang Liqian opened her mouth and clenched her hands unconsciously.

"I am not a disciple of Jianfeng, nor do I know what Tonghui Sword Technique is. I am a disciple of Qiankun Zhenfeng, and I am the fifth disciple of Zhenfeng Zhongdao Zhenren."

The Great Elder was stunned for a moment, then shook his head regretfully: "No, no, your spiritual bones are perfect for sword training. With time, you can cultivate not only sword bones, but also semi-immortal bones!"

How could such a promising young sword cultivator end up in the Formation Peak? Isn't this a waste of talent and misleading young people?

"Master Qingzhi never said he wanted to take you in? You have good spiritual roots and spiritual bones, and now it seems that your comprehension is also very good. How could Qingzhi not want you?"

He really couldn't understand it.

In his opinion, although this little girl was full of worries and couldn't concentrate while copying the scriptures, she was a very responsible person. She copied the books for three days and three nights and was still able to sit still. If it were him when he was young, he would have cried out in pain and begged his master for forgiveness.

However, facing the Great Elder's words of praise, Jiang Liqian remained indifferent.

"The cultivation of Taoism emphasizes the word 'fate'. Perhaps I just don't have a fate with swords."

The elder sighed and shook his head: "You are right..."

He then turned around and went behind rows of bookshelves. Jiang Liqian was not sure what he was going to do. Due to his status as the Great Elder, she could not leave easily and could only stand outside the bookshelf.

After waiting for a while, the elder came back with a pile of books.

Seeing this, Jiang Liqian hurried forward to help.

The elder put the book on her desk, turned around and went to the bookshelf. After a while, she came back with a large pile of books.

"Well, it doesn't matter what book you copy, just copy these first. I'll be meditating over here. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Jiang Liqian looked at the two piles of scriptures in front of her, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

When she opened one of the books, her heart tightened even more.

These books are all about swordsmanship. There are introductions to the swordsmanship of the great masters from various sects in the world of cultivation, as well as sword moves of top-grade swordsmanship, and even various sword techniques.

Some of them were already familiar to her, while others she had never seen before. Each one was very interesting and useful.

But Jiang Liqian didn't want to copy these.

She could no longer hold a sword, so there was no point in reading these things. It would be better to get the "sword" out of her mind as soon as possible, so that she would have less resentment towards her past life.

"Elder, disciple..."

"Is this not enough for Junior Brother Jiang? Don't worry, I can find some more. I guarantee Junior Brother Jiang will be able to copy as much as he wants."

“…”That’s not necessary.

Jiang Liqian accepted his fate, thanked the Great Elder respectfully, sat down at the desk properly, and began to copy the book.

This time she couldn't daydream like before, nor could she copy down the books based on her memory, because there were many books she had never read before, so she could only turn the pages one by one and read them word by word.

She was so fascinated by it that she couldn't help but read it over and over again, until the candlelight emitted a faint spark and she suddenly woke up.

The book in her hand was like a hot potato, and she could only force herself to copy it numbly. The sooner she finished copying the scriptures, the better.

She struggled repeatedly in this torture and obsession, and it took another two or three days for her to finish copying all the scriptures.

That day, Jiang Yueming actually sent his disciples to ask her to leave and exempt her from the remaining punishment.

Jiang Liqian was stunned, not understanding what he was up to.

Before leaving Lanxing Pavilion, the Great Elder was quite reluctant to let her go and repeatedly promised that when she came to copy books again in the future, he would definitely find more books for her to copy and ensure that her trip would not be in vain.

In this regard, Jiang Liqian only wants to say one thing - there is no need for that.
