He started by mentioning two junior sisters, Lin, but later he only referred to Lin, making his true intentions crystal clear.

Even if the Yin Yin sisters were indeed somewhat interested in the Sect of All Beings, they had no intention of going out with him.

The two exchanged a glance, and Lin Jingjing stepped forward to refuse, saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother Ye, but we still need to ask our master for guidance later, so it's really inconvenient for us to go out."

Ye Yu was somewhat disappointed, but not entirely discouraged. He asked meaningfully, "Would even Venerable Xuan Nu forbid me from going out for a walk?"

That doesn't sound quite right.

To put it kindly, it was meant to offer some advice, but to put it bluntly, it inevitably came across as somewhat provocative, implying that the Goddess of Mystery was meddling too much.

As soon as he said that, the two sisters were a little unhappy, but they hid it well and didn't let him notice.

However, because Yin Yin was young and there was no one in the sect who was familiar with her personality, she was able to stand up and defend her master immediately.

"Master is doing this for our own good, that's why he's so strict with our studies!"

Lin Jingjing nodded in agreement: "Yes, we can only blame ourselves for being so unambitious and failing to meet Master's requirements, so naturally we don't have time to go out and play."

"I see," Ye Yu said, seeing that he really couldn't call anyone out, so he had to offer a sincere compliment, "Your Highness, the Mysterious Lady, is truly a good master."

The two sisters agreed with him and, unusually, gave him a pleasant look.

After Ye Yu left, the two sisters were about to go back to their room when they turned around and saw the door that Xuan Nu had opened.

"Master."

The two sisters had just finished blaming Xuan Nu when they were caught by their master, their faces showing obvious guilt.

Xuan Nu looked at the two of them with a smile in her eyes: "Didn't I want to keep you busy with your studies? Why don't you come over here?"

Before Lin Jingjing could react, Yinyin had already realized that Xuan Nu wasn't angry.

She immediately responded loudly, and pulled her sister along as they quickly walked towards the Mystic Maiden.

"Master, are you going to teach us a new move today?"

"You haven't even fully mastered what you were taught before, and you already want to learn new things?" Xuan Nu glanced at her and said, "Don't bite off more than you can chew."

The two sisters humbly accepted the instruction.

Once inside, Xuan Nu waved her hand, used her inner strength to close the door, and began to tell the two sisters about the problems they had encountered while fighting enemies along the way.

Because it took a long time and there were many questions, the goddess kept them talking for a long time. The two sisters listened attentively and did not dare to be distracted at all. They also kept in mind all the experience that the goddess taught them.

Because he failed to get Lin Jingjing to leave in the morning, Ye Yu did not come over in person again in the evening.

However, he still ordered people to prepare a lot of delicious food, and also had someone mention him to the group.

After the servants from the Sect of All Beings left, she whispered, "So he's back to working hard here again. I heard earlier that he was talking to the daughter of the Hengshan Sect Leader outside, and quite a few people saw them."

A fellow disciple immediately chuckled, "Is that the Hengshan Sect Leader's daughter who seems to bump into talented young men several times a year?"

Do you bump into talented young people several times a year?

The two sisters became interested and urged their fellow disciple to elaborate.

The fellow disciple glanced at Xuan Nu discreetly, and seeing that she didn't say anything in objection, he said, "Actually, the sect leader's daughter doesn't have a good solution to this matter either, since she has a father who is eager to advance further."

"This Hengshan Sect Leader is only in the lower middle of the first tier in terms of martial arts skills, but when it comes to scheming, few people can match him."

At this point, the fellow disciple stopped talking. It was just that the daughter couldn't go against her father's wishes and ended up becoming a laughing stock in the martial arts world.

Regardless of whether Ye Yu was framed or not, and since Lin Jingjing doesn't like him, this matter has nothing to do with them.

All day long, the Yin Yin sisters stayed in the courtyard with Xuan Nu until the next morning when they got ready, changed into brand new clothes, and went with her to the sword appreciation event.

They had worn veils when they first arrived, but today, out of respect, the people of Yaochi Palace removed the veils, revealing their original beauty.

Now, even more people were amazed when they saw Lin Jingjing's appearance.

Therefore, many people had other ideas, but when the focus shifted from Lin Jingjing to Xuan Nu in front of her, most of them immediately came to their senses.

Even those few who are not quite clear-headed will quickly be "awakened" by their relatives and friends.

In the end, everyone could only lament how such a beautiful young woman had become the disciple of the Mystic Maiden.

Just when many people were feeling disappointed, the Lord of the Night appeared, and the Sword Appreciation Gathering officially began.

A sleek knife with an expensive-looking handle was steadily lifted up by four people.

The sword was still in its scabbard, inlaid with many jewels; only its shape was visible to the onlookers. But even so, it had already captured the aesthetic sensibilities of many.

Seeing this, the Night Gate Master slowly walked down from the platform, and under the gaze of everyone, he grasped the hilt of his sword and slowly drew out the hidden blade.

A cold glint appeared, a flash of silver blade, and a corner of the displaying table was chopped off.

Immediately, even those who initially disliked the knife because of its overly ornate appearance couldn't help but look over.

The Night Gate Master curled his lips into a smile, clearly pleased with the feeling of having all eyes on him.

"This sword is named Overlord."

The Overlord's Blade, or the Overlord's Way?

Yinyin glanced at it and then lowered her head. The overlord was indeed powerful, but his end was not good.

"Master Ye, this knife..."

Some people showed expressions of drooling.

The Night Gate Master sheathed his sword again: "This is Master Lu Yezi's masterpiece. If you are interested, you may come closer to admire it."

The Night Gate Master sat back down on the high platform, and many people below couldn't wait any longer and went to the Overlord Blade.

He appeared casual, but quickly noticed those who hadn't gone to admire the knives.

"Does Your Majesty not find this sword interesting?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Nu said, "This sword is a rare divine weapon. Who wouldn't be interested in it? However, I don't use the sword. It's enough for me to admire it from afar."

The Night Gate Master nodded thoughtfully and then began talking to the others.

Those in the arena who weren't enthusiastic about this sword were either those with little ability within the sect, or those as composed as Xuan Nu.

But apart from Xuan Nu, there are very few people who are truly as stable as Mount Tai, even those who are also top experts are no exception.

After all, besides its sharpness, this knife also carries the so-called destiny bestowed upon it.

After the sword appreciation gathering, there will be a banquet.

The guests and hosts alike spent a fortune on this meal, and naturally, everyone enjoyed themselves immensely.

Once back at her place, Lin Jingjing finally couldn't hold back any longer and blurted it out to her sister.

"Yinyin, do you think it's because the Night Sect Master has suddenly become a different person in the past day or two, completely unlike the person he was the other day?"

It's no wonder Lin Jingjing was puzzled. In such a short time, the Night Gate Master seemed to have suddenly regained his vitality, and his behavior was no longer like when he first arrived.

Such a change is so significant that it cannot be ignored.
