Chapter 2323 - 2323 2313 Leaving the Mingyue Sect

2323: Chapter 2313: Leaving the Mingyue Sect 2323: Chapter 2313: Leaving the Mingyue Sect However, Long Yan was not particularly worried about this; after all, he possessed the Lu Xian Sword in his hand.

According to Yun Huang, the Lu Xian Sword was by no means inferior to the Qilin Blood Demon Gun.

“There’s no need to worry about these things, I think I should have a way to solve them.”

Long Yan said lightly, and although there was a gap in strength between him and Li Xueling, Long Yan had divine weapons at his disposal, which made this not a problem at all.

However, to Yin Yue’s ears, it sounded different; she thought Long Yan was just consoling himself, and immediately her face flashed with determination.

“Don’t worry, I will make master give up.”

Yin Yue had always acquiesced to her master’s decisions since childhood, but today she might have to go against her master’s wishes, despite having feelings for the man before her.

The two of them just strolled briefly before returning to Li Xueling’s room.

Seeing the harmonious pair, a smile appeared on Li Xueling’s face.

Although Long Yan was reluctant before, just a round trip outside made him obedient.

It seems her apprentice indeed has a way with men, she had been worried for nothing.

It was already late, and after Yin Yue saw Li Xueling sip her tea happily, she mustered up the courage to step forward and speak.

“Master, your disciple has a request.”

Li Xueling thought Yin Yue was referring to the issue of the wedding and casually waved her hand.

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely organize a lively wedding for you.

The Mingyue Sect has been quiet for many years; it’s time for a joyous occasion.”

A bitter smile appeared on Yin Yue’s face—it seemed her master had misunderstood—but she still explained.

“Master, I want you to let Long Yan go.”

“Huh?”

Upon hearing this, Li Xueling almost spat out her tea.

After all, the affection Yin Yue harbored for Long Yan was not fake, but she had never expected these words to come from Yin Yue herself.

“Why?”

Although it was just three words, they were incredibly authoritative.

At this moment, Li Xueling truly exhibited the authority of the Sect Leader of Mingyue Sect, and now it was all directed at Yin Yue.

Under this imposing presence, Yin Yue, who found herself somewhat unable to raise her head, still clenched her teeth and said firmly.

“It’s just that your disciple still wants to stay by your side, and does not wish to marry so soon.”

Li Xueling sighed softly, seeing her disciple’s stubborn expression, she could only sigh bitterly in her heart.

“No, I am the Sect Leader.

If I change what I have already said, how can I command respect in the future?”

“Master!”

In desperation, Yin Yue’s voice broke slightly, but Li Xueling did not heed Yin Yue’s words.

Instead, she took out the Thunder Spirit Bead from her storage ring, placed it in Yin Yue’s hand, and sighed deeply before leaving.

Yin Yue wanted to say more, but Long Yan stopped her.

Yin Yue, due to her excitement, failed to understand her master’s intention, but Long Yan understood it very clearly.

If Li Xueling was just rejecting Yin Yue’s proposition, then why leave the Thunder Spirit Bead behind?

The probable implication was to let Long Yan go.

The Lu Xian Sword appeared in Long Yan’s hand, and in an instant, the Binding Immortal Rope that Long Yan couldn’t break free from snapped like an ordinary rope, and he rubbed his arms, which were numb from being bound for a long time.

“Your master has accepted your proposal.”

Hearing Long Yan say this, the initially disheartened Yin Yue suddenly looked up.

What did Long Yan mean by that?

“If your master hadn’t agreed, she wouldn’t have left the Thunder Spirit Bead behind.”

Long Yan took out Emperor Qin’s Ancient Mirror from his Storage Ring and placed it steadily on the table.

If Long Yan was not mistaken, he guessed Li Xueling would come to take the Emperor Qin’s Ancient Mirror soon, truly it was tough on Li Xueling’s part.

Pushing open the door, Li Xueling was sitting in the courtyard, her back—which normally resembled that of a fairy—now had a touch of desolation.

“I didn’t expect you to actually have some tricks up your sleeve.”

Li Xueling’s voice seemed to admire Long Yan, but after careful consideration, Long Yan felt that wasn’t really what she meant.

Nevertheless, Long Yan still wanted to express his gratitude.

“Thank you, Senior.”

“No need!”

Li Xueling turned her head to look at Long Yan, as if trying to engrave his face deeply into her memory.

“Senior, what are you doing?”

“Remember well the person who took away my disciple.

If you ever treat my disciple poorly, I might just come knocking with my sword.”

Long Yan gave a slight smile, though it carried a hint of bitterness, as his intentions were obviously not as such.

“Senior…”

Li Xueling interrupted Long Yan’s words, slowly standing up from the stone bench.

“No need to say more; the path down the mountain is clear now.”

Upon finishing her words, Li Xueling’s figure vanished from the spot, leaving behind a sword emitting a bright moonlight glow on the stone table, probably meant for Mingyue.

Just as Long Yan was about to return to the house to comfort Mingyue, upon turning his head, he found Mingyue already standing behind him.

Mingyue’s fingers, pale as white jade, gently touched the sword on the stone table.

She fastened the sword around her waist and stood poised at the path down the mountain, smiling brightly at Long Yan.

The sunlight shone through the side of Mingyue’s face onto Long Yan’s, her smile as radiant as flowers.

Long Yan moved his lips slightly, unsure of what to say, and thus took the lead to proceed down the mountain with Mingyue.

From a high building behind, Li Xueling watched the two descending the mountain, smiling faintly.

It seems, after all, it’s hard to keep a grown girl at home.

She hoped that their journey would be smooth.

At this moment, a disciple dressed in Enforcement Hall clothes knelt before Li Xueling.

Though positioned at the mountain’s peak where it was sunny, the temperature was still low.

The disciple’s thin clothes did not seem to protect from the cold, yet he did not move, merely kneeling silently before Li Xueling.

“Is everything handled?”

Li Xueling’s smile faded, reverting to her formal Sect Leader demeanor as she stood with her hands clasped behind her back, gazing into the distance.

“Yes, the Great Elder, under the disciple’s instructions, is preparing to defect.

She has discussed it with the Second Elder and the Third Elder, planning to flee to the Qiong Tian Gate.”

“These people are quite bold.”

Li Xueling clicked her tongue.

Fleeing to a rival sect—these three had indeed played their cards well, thinking of disintegrating the strength of the Mingyue Sect this casually.

“Go summon the Heavenly Elder.”

In fact, today’s incident with Long Yan was merely a medium, an opportunity to take down the Great Elder or rather to instigate her defection.

The defection of the three Elders was also within Li Xueling’s expectations.

Not afraid of them fleeing, just afraid if they didn’t.

Of course, these three Elders only represented the overt strength.

The Mingyue Sect, being a first-rate Sect of the Qin Dynasty, naturally wasn’t limited to just superficial combat power.

Of course, the impending clash between Qiong Tian Gate and Mingyue Sect had nothing to do with the two descending the mountain.

Although it wasn’t Mingyue’s first exposure to mortal life, it was her first time venturing beyond Moon City.

Everything here kindled some curiosity in Yin Yue.
