Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

"Third Young Master," a servant beside him glanced at him furtively, "are we still heading to Yaochi Palace?"

"Go where?" the Third Young Master spat out through gritted teeth. "I've already offended almost everyone, and she's already given me the answer directly. What would I do if I went there to humiliate myself?"

Seeing him turn and mount his horse, the attendant quickly followed, saying, "Young master, how can we blame you for this?"

"Who would have thought that Her Majesty the Mysterious Lady would travel with only one disciple to see Miss Lin?"

“Generally speaking, those top masters and leaders of major sects are all arrogant and want to show off their entourage when they travel.”

The Third Young Master felt much better: "Doesn't this just show how different the Venerable Xuan Nu is?"

The attendant said, "Although Yaochi Palace acts in a way that is both righteous and wicked, it has always given the government face. If the Third Young Master can get this help this time, it will certainly be a good thing. But if it fails, Yaochi Palace will certainly not cause us any trouble."

"The Third Young Master is a man of great ambition, why should he care about a mere Jade Pool Palace?"

"What do you know?" The Third Young Master glanced in the direction Yin Yin and the other two had left before spurring his horse in the opposite direction.

-

Since leaving that forest, Yin Yin has been in an exceptionally good mood.

Seeing her radiant joy that couldn't be hidden even by the curtains, Hongyao couldn't help but smile as well: "So happy?"

Yinyin nodded honestly: "Master, Aunt, you don't know. Although he doesn't appear often, I'm so annoyed by him. Now that I can get rid of him once and for all and stop bothering me, I'm so happy."

As Yinyin spoke, she recounted the events that had occurred between her and the Third Young Master to Xuan Nu and Hong Yao.

Before Hongyao could say anything, Xuan Nu spoke up first: "Since he is in the martial world, he should naturally follow the rules of the martial world."

"Regardless of his status, you are my disciple, so there is no need to pay him any attention."

Hongyao also said, "Your master is right, why think so much?"

"He's just a nobody, a world apart from your status in the underworld."

"Even if he really is the Third Prince, so what? He didn't say it openly, so we don't need to give him any face."

Xuan Nu and Hong Yao were both thinking from Yin Yin's perspective, but Yin Yin was also concerned about the Lin family, so she naturally had to think more deeply about it.

"It's still because I'm not good enough. If I were a top expert now, no one would dare to scheme against me like this."

If Ruoyin is already a top expert, then the Lin family's affairs are not a problem at all.

Let alone the Third Young Master, even if the Emperor himself were to handle the matter, he would not act rashly against the family of a top expert, and would even protect them.

The reason is simply that although top-tier masters are rare, there are still plenty of them in the martial arts world, and even the imperial court has its share.

Therefore, in the eyes of the imperial court, top-tier masters were powerful, but worthless.

Top masters are completely different.

There are only a handful of truly top-tier martial arts masters in the entire martial arts world. In addition, when they fight, mountains collapse and trees snap in half at the slightest provocation. No one would dare to provoke them.

Hongyao wanted to say a few words of comfort to her, but Xuannu stopped her and said, "Now that you know the root of the problem, you should work hard in the future."

"You have the potential to become a top master, but there are countless people with such potential, and very few who actually succeed in the end."

Whether you become a top-notch master for life or only see the view from the very top depends on yourself.

Perhaps because it was rare for Yin Yin to confide in Xuan Nu, Xuan Nu was not in a hurry to travel as before, but instead guided Yin Yin to gain insights as they walked.

In the words of Xuan Nu, to become a top master, in addition to one's own cultivation techniques, aptitude, ability, and comprehension are all indispensable.

Moreover, this enlightenment requires not only an understanding of martial arts, but also a sufficient amount of insight into the natural world.

Human strength has its limits, but the power of nature is unshakeable.

Why can top masters slice off a mountain with a single stroke and create towering waves with a wave of their hand? It's because the power they wield is no longer simply human strength.

After listening to Xuan Nu's teachings, Yin Yin immediately asked a question that seemed completely unrelated.

"Master, are there really immortals in this world?"

"Isn't it only immortals who can move mountains and fill seas, summon thunder and lightning?"

Xuan Nu stood on the deck, looking at the vast sea before her, her voice growing increasingly ethereal: "Immortals? Perhaps they exist."

"But perhaps it was just something that happened in the past, who can say for sure?"

When she turned to look at Yin Yin, the colors of the clouds in the sky shone directly on her face.

Amidst the clouds, Yin Yin seemed to see the Mystic Maiden smile at her.

Smile?

Yin Yin closed her eyes briefly, and when she looked again, she found that Xuan Nu's face was still the same as before, except that her eyes were exceptionally gentle and she had no expression at all.

Seeing that she seemed a little dazed, Xuan Nu asked, "What's wrong?"

Yinyin hesitated for a moment before saying to her, "Master, I think I saw you smile just now, but when I blinked, I realized I didn't."

Xuan Nu stared at her in a daze, a rare sight indeed.

Hongyao, who had originally come to call them back to their cabin, happened to hear this and quickly stepped forward: "Yinyin, did you really see the Palace Master smile just now?"

“For just a moment, I felt I must have seen it,” Yin Yin said after a moment of careful recollection, “but it’s not impossible that I was just seeing things.”

As Yinyin spoke, she looked at Xuan Nu and Hongyao and asked, "Master, Aunt, is something wrong?"

In fact, what Yin Yin really wanted to ask was how Xuan Nu had become like this, with almost no expression, but seeing the two people in front of her looking preoccupied, she couldn't bring herself to ask.

The ship arrived at their destination quickly, and as always, it was Suzaku who came to pick them up.

This time, however, before they could even settle into their lodgings, Xuan Nu pulled Zhu Que away.

"Auntie?" Yinyin returned to the room, preventing Hongyao from leaving. "What exactly happened?"

Hongyao thought for a moment and said, "It concerns the secrets of Pengshan. There are some things that I am not in a position to tell you. But since the Palace Master has gone to find the Vermilion Bird, I think she will tell you herself when she returns."

Yinyin leaned to the side and fell onto the neatly folded quilt: "Auntie, the waiting time is the hardest to bear. When will Master come back!"

Since Yin Yin grew up, Hong Yao had rarely seen her like this, and couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "It's not a bad thing. You can wait a little longer, it won't hurt."

"Not a bad thing?" Yin Yin became even more curious, but since Hong Yao was determined not to speak, there was nothing she could do.

Just as Yinyin was getting drowsy, she finally heard some noises coming from the courtyard.

She lightly jumped to the ground, put on her shoes, opened the door a crack, revealing only a clean and pretty face, her eyes shining as if stars had fallen into them in the moonlight.

"Master, you're back!"

Xuan Nu turned around and walked towards Yin Yin.

The master and disciple sat facing each other on the couch.

Xuan Nu hesitated for a long time before asking, "Yin Yin, there is a way to make you a top expert faster, but you need to become a member of Pengshan. Are you willing?"
