Several pairs of eyes turned to him at the same time, and he awkwardly fell silent, "Well, I have things to attend to at the sect, I'll be going now!"

That foul mouth of his! Why did he have to bring up those things!

Luo Qingxu sighed, "Old Hu, let's just consider it as repaying the kindness we received before, after all, the old sect leader saved our lives."

"Zhaozhao is the old sect leader's only bloodline, so it's alright to indulge her a little."

Hu Guichen said helplessly, "I'm just worried about Lingxiao's sword spirit advancing. But actually, I'm not in a rush. Let them be."

Lu Mingdao chuckled, "Sect Leader Hu, rest assured, I will personally escort Friend Bai back in a few days."

After the sect competition ended, spirit boats took off one after another, and soon the place returned to its usual tranquility.

On the spirit boat of the Qingyun Sect, True Person Guiyuan took a walk outside during his cultivation and saw a group of people discussing cultivation. Everyone else was there, but Song Zhiyuan and Xue Huairui were nowhere to be seen.

He thought for a moment, then turned and went to Song Zhiyuan's room, where he and Xue Huairui were indeed inside.

Master Guiyuan entered the room and asked, "Zhiyuan, your junior brothers and sisters are all outside discussing cultivation. Why didn't you take Xiaorui with you?"

Song Zhiyuan lowered his eyes and said, "Master, Xiao Rui and I will keep each other company. Junior Sister Yun and the others... may not be too welcoming to us."

Master Guiyuan frowned, wanting to say something to Song Zhiyuan, but because Xue Huairui was present, he couldn't say it.

Seeing this, Xue Huairui's expression flickered slightly. "Master, Senior Brother, it's time for lunch. I'll go and bring you your lunch."

Song Zhiyuan nodded. "Xiao Rui, thank you for your trouble."

After Xue Huairui left, Master Guiyuan set up a barrier and asked, "Zhiyuan, what exactly happened in the secret realm? Why have you been avoiding Yun Zhao ever since you came out?"

Song Zhiyuan shook his head, "Master, nothing happened. I just had a little argument with Junior Sister Yun. It's nothing serious."

Although he said that, no one knows a son better than his father, and a teacher for a day is a father for life.

Although Master Guiyuan was not his father, he believed he understood Song Zhiyuan's temperament well after spending so much time together.

His tone became slightly harsher, "Zhiyuan, tell the truth."

Song Zhiyuan lowered his head, "Master, I... I might have done something wrong..."

He dared not hide anything from Master Guiyuan and told him what he had done in the secret realm.

However, he still concealed Qi Yan's true identity.

After all, only he and his group of followers knew about his past with Qi Yan, and those followers came from the same family as him.

In order to prevent others from knowing Qi Yan's identity as a demon, he even killed off his followers after the Sword Pool incident.

Song Zhiyuan thought he was jealous of Qi Yan for winning Yun Zhao's heart and wanted to teach him a lesson.

After listening, Master Guiyuan sighed and said, "Zhiyuan, you are confused. Yun Zhao is just temporarily blinded by others. She will eventually become your Daoist partner."

Song Zhiyuan was shocked: "Master, what do you mean by this!"

Seeing that Song Zhiyuan was showing signs of developing inner demons because of Yun Zhao and Qi Yan, Master Guiyuan said, "Things have come to this point, so your master will no longer hide it from you."

"Zhiyuan, do you know why, for so many years, everyone in the Qingyun Sect has been so obedient to Yun Zhao and doted on him in every way?"

Song Zhiyuan replied, "It's because Yun Zhao's grandfather and parents made contributions to the sect, and her master and the peak masters pity her for losing her loved ones, which is why they dote on her so much."

"But do you know what merits the old sect leader and Yun Zhao's parents made?"

Master Guiyuan asked.

Song Zhiyuan replied in confusion, "This disciple does not know."

In fact, most disciples of the Qingyun Sect did not know this; they only had a general idea, and no one really knew the specifics.

Master Guiyuan took a deep breath, "Then I will tell you today that the old sect leader single-handedly stopped the spread of the Annihilation Qi, and Yun Zhao's parents even used their physical bodies as seals to completely destroy the Annihilation Qi!"

Song Zhiyuan gasped, "Master, are you telling the truth?!"

The aura of extinction is a strange spiritual energy that cannot be absorbed by cultivators or demons. In fact, once touched, it will turn into ashes and disappear into the world!

In that case, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the three former sect leaders saved the entire cultivation world!

And their only remaining bloodline, Yun Zhao, is the benefactor of the entire cultivation world!

but……

Song Zhiyuan asked in confusion, "Master, why have I never seen any records related to such a big event?"

Master Guiyuan shook his head. "It was at the request of the old sect leader. He didn't want to make a fuss, fearing that the aura of extinction might come back and retaliate against Yun Zhao. Only the sect leaders of the four major sects knew about this."

"Of course, there are also Han Yue and Ming Dao. They are both disciples of the old sect master and have the right to know as well."

"It's just that Yun Zhao himself doesn't know, and you don't need to know the reason."

At this point, Master Guiyuan instructed, "Zhiyuan, you must keep these words a secret. Do not tell any outsiders, and do not mention them to Yunzhao either, understand?"

Master Guiyuan looked serious, and Song Zhiyuan quickly agreed.

He was still worried, so he made Song Zhiyuan swear an oath again.

Song Zhiyuan obediently swore an oath; he had no intention of telling anyone anyway, so it didn't matter what oath he made.

He had another question: "Master, why did you say that Yun Zhao would eventually become my Daoist partner? You saw it yourself, she treats Qi Yan even better than she treated me before..."

Song Zhiyuan thought for a moment and used the word: "obsessed".

“You can’t blame Yun Zhao for this,” Master Guiyuan said, getting a little angry. “She was so good to you before, but you didn’t accept it, and you even acted intimately with Xiao Rui in public.”

"You hurt Yun Zhao's feelings, so it's only natural that she's throwing a tantrum now."

“However,” Master Guiyuan changed the subject, “you and Yun Zhao were arranged by the old sect master himself. He said that once you both reach the Golden Core stage, he would let you become Daoist partners.”

"It's just that I've been busy with sect affairs and have neglected you two."

Master Guiyuan asked, "I remember that before Qi Yan appeared, you and Yun Zhao had a very good relationship, right?"

After recalling for a moment, Song Zhiyuan said without changing his expression, "Master, we have a very good relationship."

He deliberately concealed some things.

For example, Yun Zhao wasn't close to him when they were young; he preferred being with Mu Qianqian.

He remembered that Yun Zhao started clinging to him a few years ago.

Perhaps it was because I didn't understand emotions when I was young, but I came to understand the feelings between men and women when I was a teenager and admired someone.

Song Zhiyuan thought so.

Master Guiyuan said with relief, "That's good. By the way, what are your feelings for Xiaorui...?"

Song Zhiyuan said solemnly, "Master, I only regard Xiaorui as my junior sister, and I have no other intentions."

Master Guiyuan glanced at him and said, “You must remember what you said. Zhao Zhao’s cultivation has improved a lot recently. When she reaches the Golden Core stage, I will hold a marriage ceremony for you two.”

Song Zhiyuan was overjoyed, "Thank you very much, Master. I will definitely treat Zhaozhao well!"

"Ah!"

On the spirit boat, Yun Zhao suddenly sneezed loudly.
