Duan Zhengchun transmigrates to Yin Zhiping

Upon arriving at Chaomu Cliff, Duan Zhengchun discovered that Yang Guo was nowhere to be found, and the thatched hut was empty. He frowned and began searching around.

However, Duan Zhengchun soon discovered that Yang Guo was sitting alone on the edge of the cliff, his legs dangling over the edge below, staring blankly at the distant sunset.

"What are you thinking about?"

Duan Zhengchun slowly approached, put his hands behind his back, looked into the distance, and asked a question in a low voice.

"Master!"

Upon hearing Duan Zhengchun's words, Yang Guo was stunned for a moment and hurriedly tried to get up to bow.

"Don't you find it boring to practice your skills alone on this cliff?"

Duan Zhengchun reached out and pressed down on Yang Guo, who was trying to get up, and asked with a smile.

Yang Guo finished his work, shook his head gently, and sighed, "My master once told me that there might be something fishy about Guo Jing and Huang Rong killing my father. I just want to go down the mountain as soon as possible to find out the truth."

"But I've only just begun learning the basic martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect. I don't know when my master will allow me to leave the mountain..."

Duan Zhengchun looked down meaningfully at the dejected Yang Guo and said seriously, "One should not be too hasty in anything. The same applies to martial arts training and life. The truth will always come out one day."

"Once you have enough skills to save your life, your master will naturally let you go down the mountain. Otherwise, with your current skills, you will find nothing but death after going down the mountain."

"You have good aptitude. Given time, you will surely achieve great things, and it is not impossible for you to surpass Guo Jing."

Upon hearing this, Yang Guo looked up at Duan Zhengchun in surprise and exclaimed excitedly, "Really?!"

Duan Zhengchun nodded seriously and said, "Of course, when has your master ever lied to you?"

Upon hearing Duan Zhengchun's affirmative answer, Yang Guo finally showed a happy smile.

"Want to go out and have some fun?"

Duan Zhengchun didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards the cliff, but stopped after taking a few steps and asked a question without turning his head.

"where to?"

Yang Guo's eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up, eagerly asking further questions.

"I'll take you to a fun place."

Duan Zhengchun replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yang Guo's face immediately lit up with joy, but the smile quickly froze on his face as he hesitated and said, "Let's forget it, I still need to practice my skills..."

Duan Zhengchun laughed and said, "Becoming a master is not something that can be done in a short time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Zhengchun turned around, grabbed Yang Guo's arm, and leaped towards the top of the cliff, easily reaching the top.

"Master, your lightness skill is truly amazing!"

Yang Guo landed steadily and turned to look at the steep cliff behind him. He exclaimed in disbelief, his face full of admiration.

Duan Zhengchun smiled without saying a word, and led Yang Guo on a swift flight, arriving at the Tomb of the Living Dead as fast as an arrow released from a bow.

In the locust grove, Xiaolongnu was picking honey with Lu Wushuang when they heard a noise behind them. They immediately turned around and looked, and then the two of them almost simultaneously showed a silly smile.

For the past two weeks, Duan Zhengchun has been staying at the Tomb of the Living Dead almost every night. He spends the first half of the night practicing swordsmanship with Xiaolongnu, and the second half of the night is attended to by Lu Wushuang. His life couldn't be more fulfilling.

Fortunately, he possessed profound internal strength; otherwise, his body would have collapsed long ago.

"Huh? Who is this boy?"

Lu Wushuang looked at Yang Guo, who was still in shock standing next to Duan Zhengchun, and her face was full of curiosity.

"My newly accepted disciple, Yang Guo."

Duan Zhengchun smiled and glanced at Yang Guo, then slowly said something.

"So you are Yang Guo. I have heard your master mention you before. Like your master, you are quite handsome."

Little Dragon Girl slowly approached and said something earnestly.

"Have you not greeted your master's wife yet?"

Duan Zhengchun chuckled and patted Yang Guo on the head, offering a reminder.

"I've met the master's wife."

Yang Guo was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the beautiful Xiaolongnu, and hurriedly cupped his hands in a salute.

Hearing Yang Guo address her in such a way, Xiaolongnu blushed slightly and gave Duan Zhengchun a reproachful look.

“I am your senior sister, Lu Wushuang.”

Lu Wushuang also stepped forward slowly and greeted Yang Guo with a smile.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Wushuang."

Yang Guo hesitated for a moment and bowed to Lu Wushuang again, but his eyes kept stealing glances at Xiaolongnu.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Little Dragon Girl noticed that Yang Guo was staring at her, and asked him with a curious smile.

Yang Guo murmured, "Master's wife... is so beautiful..."

Upon hearing this, the three people present exchanged glances and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Whose child is this? How come they're so good at talking? They're like a little genius."

At this moment, Granny Sun slowly walked out of the ancient tomb, placed the teapot on the stone table at the entrance of the cave, and poured two cups while talking.

"This is Granny Sun. Don't mess with her. She has a terrible temper."

Duan Zhengchun smiled, pointed at Granny Sun, and said jokingly.

"Greetings, Granny Sun..."

Yang Guo quickly withdrew his gaze, turned around and bowed to Granny Sun again.

Granny Sun snorted softly, ignoring Duan Zhengchun, and slowly walked over to take the tools from Xiaolongnu's hands, then led Lu Wushuang to continue collecting honey on the side.

"Little Yang Guo, let's gather honey together."

Lu Wushuang smiled and waved to Yang Guo, leading him into the locust tree forest.

Duan Zhengchun smiled, took Xiaolongnu's hand, and led her to the stone table at the cave entrance. They sat down, sipping tea and watching the three people in the forest.

Under Xiaolongnu's tutelage, Lu Wushuang's personality changed a lot. She was no longer so willful and capricious, and became much more composed.

Duan Zhengchun was very pleased with this, and it made him feel that his decision to have Lu Wushuang join the Ancient Tomb Sect was a wise one.

Although Yang Guo was helping Lu Wushuang, his eyes kept glancing towards the cave entrance, looking absent-minded.

"The sect's martial arts tournament is about to begin. Have you thought about how to deal with it?"

Little Dragon Girl looked at Duan Zhengchun and asked him softly.

Duan Zhengchun shook his head, smiled nonchalantly, and said calmly, "No, there's always a way out. There are still half a month left, we can make it."

He didn't tell Xiaolongnu that he had decided to let Lin Zhiyuan compete for the position of chief disciple, after all, nothing was set in stone yet and anything could happen.

However, he had already told Xiaolongnu that he did not want to become the sect leader.

He felt that things were fine as they were. Although he had to travel back and forth between the two places, he felt fulfilled, even though he was destined to leave Zhongnan Mountain one day.

Although his hatred for the Mongol Tartars was no longer as intense as it had been at the beginning, he would not let it go.

Perhaps, the moment the Mongol Tartars rise up to attack the Song Dynasty will be the moment he descends the mountain.

Since he had Yang Guo with him today, Duan Zhengchun could not stay overnight at the Tomb of the Living Dead. After staying for an hour, he bid farewell to Xiaolongnu and returned to Chaomu Cliff.

After leaving Yang Guo at Chaomu Cliff, Duan Zhengchun went down the mountain and returned to his back garden. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he found Lin Zhiyuan anxiously waiting at the door of his room.

"Is something wrong?"

Duan Zhengchun raised an eyebrow and asked a question in a loud voice.

"Senior brother, you're finally back. Master sent Little Seventeen over half an hour ago to tell you that he needs to speak with you."

"They've already come to urge us twice!"

Seeing that Duan Zhengchun had finally returned, Lin Zhiyuan hurriedly stepped forward and said nervously.

Duan Zhengchun frowned and hesitated, then asked, "Did they say what it is?"

Lin Zhiyuan shook his head and said anxiously, "Senior brother, you'd better hurry up and go. If you come back any later, Master will probably send someone to Chaomu Cliff to look for you."

When Duan Zhengchun often sneaked out of Chaomu Cliff, he did not deliberately hide it from Lin Zhiyuan, but Lin Zhiyuan did not know what he did after leaving.

"understood."

Duan Zhengchun casually remarked, straightened his Taoist robe which he had recently changed into, left the back garden, and headed straight for Qiu Chuji's residence.

A moment later, Duan Zhengchun knocked on Qiu Chuji's door.

"Come in!"

A deep voice immediately came from inside, and you could tell that there was a hint of anger in the tone.

Duan Zhengchun forced a smile, slowly pushed open the door, and walked in.

"The disciple has met the master."

"I heard you wanted to see me?"

Upon entering, Duan Zhengchun looked at Qiu Chuji, who was sitting cross-legged on a futon, and smiled as he clasped his hands in a respectful greeting.

Upon hearing Duan Zhengchun's voice, Qiu Chuji stopped his practice, opened his eyes, and gave him a cold, expressionless look. He said in a low voice, "Where have you been?! Why haven't you shown up yet?! Why haven't I seen you at the temple lately?!"
