Chapter 1566: Chapter 1567: Move into the Future

On Mount Longhu, next to the cottage that no one had visited since Long Xuan’s descent, an hunched old man suddenly appeared today.

The old man staggered to the front of the door, looked at the courtyard that was still as good as new despite no one cleaning it, smiled, and then suddenly started talking to himself.

"Since you have returned, why won’t you even enter your own dwelling?"

As his words fell, a lady with a graceful figure slowly appeared, her eyes somewhat evasive, seemingly reluctant to meet the old man.

"Greetings, Sect Leader Senior Brother."

Zhao Kongming listened to these merely formal words and chuckled softly, without saying anything.

The two actually were not from the same generation; Ji Yuguang’s master was a disciple on Mount Longhu who was not particularly outstanding, and his peak realm was only at Nascent Soul, having passed away thirty years ago.

Nevertheless, Ji Yuguang had now become one of the Four Great Heavenly Masters, and as per the rules of Mount Longhu, calling Zhao Kongming "Sect Leader Senior Brother" was not incorrect.

"Is the house still bright and clean?"

Zhao Kongming looked at the cottage and gently started speaking.

Ji Yuguang glanced and said, "Thank you for having someone take care of it, Senior Brother."

Zhao Kongming chuckled softly and did not clarify that it wasn’t his idea to have Long Xuan take care of this place, he even avoided mentioning Long Xuan and instead changed the topic.

"Clearly reluctant to see me, why did you come back?"

"Because there are people in the Capital City I want even less to see."

Ji Yuguang spoke straightforwardly.

"That disciple of yours from the royal family?"

Ji Yuguang shook her head: "Not her, someone she is interested in."

"Oh? He has become the beloved of the current Heavenly Son; His Majesty would allow him to fancy someone else?"

"That’s why it’s troublesome, and that guy..."

"Is someone very outstanding?"

Ji Yuguang pondered slightly and ended up saying: "Not inferior to Long Xuan."

"Oh? Isn’t that evaluation a bit too high?"

Zhao Kongming knew too well what kind of talent Long Xuan was, and even for Ye Qingci of the Ye Family, he did not believe she was really up to that evaluation.

Ji Yuguang knew what Zhao Kongming was thinking and said, "It’s just that you hold Long Xuan’s talent too high in your heart, Senior Brother."

"No matter how high, he deserves it, because he is Long Xuan."

Ji Yuguang slightly turned her head, not wanting to continue arguing with Zhao Kongming on this topic, and simply said: "In any case, he’s a guy with considerable talent, and my disciple is also stubborn. It’s not good for me to act directly, and if I don’t leave, I expect their people might come knocking."

Su Chengyu was fortunate to survive the assassination, and although Ji Yuguang remained aloof from the normal assassination, she was still one of the people who silently allowed everything to happen, and was even pleased to see Su Chengyu die in the assassination.

She did not want to face Su Chengyu directly, so she temporarily left the Capital City, knowing that Su Chengyu would not stay in the Capital City for too long.

"It’s interesting to see you like this, but since you don’t want to talk, let’s leave it at that."

Seeing Zhao Kongming finally letting go, Ji Yuguang breathed a sigh of relief, then asked.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother, what brings you to find me?"

Although Ji Yuguang’s return to the mountain could be concealed from others, it could naturally not be hidden from Zhao Kongming, she just did not understand why her Sect Leader Senior Brother would come to see her voluntarily.

According to decorum, she would have also gone to the Ancestral Master Hall to offer incense tomorrow, and the two would naturally meet then.

"It’s nothing, just that I’ve been quite occupied lately and wanted someone to talk to. You know, when I look for Zhao Danping, he just wants to discuss Daoism. Zhao Huanzhen can’t even manage a single word for half a day."

"Brother! You are the Grand Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, the Sect Leader of our Mount Longhu, mind your words."

Ji Yuguang spoke with mild annoyance.

Zhao Kongming sighed and said, "Immortals are people too, aren’t they? It’s one thing to put on a facade in front of the juniors, but can’t you even tolerate your own brother?"

"I was once a junior to you, too."

Seeing the seriousness on Ji Yuguang’s face, Zhao Kongming didn’t say anything more, but just sat down outside the house like a lonely old man, suddenly falling silent.

The mountains are still those of Mount Longhu, the waters still those of Mount Longhu, they are still as they were when Zhao Kongming first began his path of cultivation, but Zhao Kongming is no longer that young Taoist child who just started on this path.

Noticing the unusual mood in Zhao Kongming, Ji Yuguang blinked and asked, "Sect Leader Brother, what happened?"

"Cang Qing has left."

The sudden words made Ji Yuguang also stop in her tracks; although she had never sparred with Cang Qing True Master, she knew that he was a real Earth Immortal from the Dao Sect standing in the Ascend to Heaven Realm.

In terms of Daoism Method, even she couldn’t match this senior who had been at the peak of this world since her early days of cultivation.

Moreover, it was well known that the Qingcheng Sect was already struggling and it had largely been maintained by Cang Qing True Master alone; now that Cang Qing True Master has passed...

"What about the Qingcheng Sect?"

"Why worry about that? Hasn’t the Emperor always wished for you to take action swiftly, to make Mount Longhu the only authentic Dao Sect?"

Ji Yuguang remained silent. Although she was the State Preceptor of the current dynasty, she knew deep down that this forceful depletion was not the best way to promote the Dao Sect, hence the continuous delays. Nevertheless, this question arose not because of this matter...

Suddenly thinking of something, Zhao Kongming looked up at Ji Yuguang and said, "Are you worried about that little girl from your Ji Family in the Qingcheng Sect?"

Ji Yuguang hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

Although she had no interaction with Ji Yuzhu, and Ji Yuzhu didn’t even know that she had been paying attention to her,

It was in fact her, coming from the Ancient Clan, who had been able to join the Qingcheng Sect, all under Ji Yuguang’s direction.

Of course, this matter was something she asked Zhao Kongming to handle.

"Don’t worry, Cang Qing willingly embraced his death, naturally he has already prepared for the Qingcheng Sect’s future. Now, the Qingcheng Sect already has its new pillar."

"Su Chengyu?"

The first name that came to Ji Yuguang’s mind was naturally this one.

Zhao Kongming smiled slightly, then glanced at Ji Yuguang and said, "He, at most, could become a role similar to you or us at Mount Longhu; what merit does he have to support the entire Qingcheng?"

"Then who could it be?"

Ji Yuguang asked, not understanding.

Zhao Kongming shook his head. He neither knew nor wanted to know.

"The descendants have their own blessings, these juniors of the Dao Sect, to me, are just that."

Moreover, Mount Longhu already has a Long Xuan, what else does he have to worry about?

He and Cang Qing were friends and rivals all their lives, and now that the unconcerned Cang Qing has taken his final step, where should he go from here?

"Cang Qing, this move of yours is ingenious, how am I supposed to cope?"

The opponent’s step was incredibly clever, and Zhao Kongming, too, didn’t want to lose.

The first thing that Zhao Kongming thought of was obviously a challenging selection, but then he realized it might not be enough, and his gaze shifted subtly onto Ji Yuguang.
