During their cultivation breaks, they would stay together.
They would chat about their childhood days in Kyoto Prefecture and share amusing incidents from their respective Sects. The marriage contract between them was like a bond that had tightly tied them together.
At this mont, Hua Xianzi approached gracefully. Out of respect for Lin Xueru by her side, she rely tilted her head slightly without directly looking at Chen Yi.
"This ti, I have to trouble Brother Chen to co along."
Hua Xianzi learned from Sun Daofu that Chen Yi could choose to go or not, as Sword Cultivators don't have a great demand for Cultivation, unlike her.
Her cultivation of the Fire-Wood Daoist Technique heavily relies on one's Cultivation Realm, the more powerful the True Yuan, the greater its power.
Just as Chen Yi was about to speak, Lin Xueru, laughing playfully, said it was not necessary and then pulled Hua Xianzi aside to whisper sothing to her.
"This girl."
Chen Yi shook his head, knowing without thinking that the little girl was instructing Hua Xianzi to take care of him.
During this period, Hua Xianzi and her sister Hua Youxiang were quietly cultivating and rarely ca over.
To be precise, they were intentionally avoiding.
Chen Yi knew that Hua Xianzi was avoiding suspicion, and he found it amusing and sowhat poignant at the sa ti.
Youthful admiration, the purest of all.
Compared to most people, he was already considered very fortunate.
Shortly after, Chen Yi saw Xiao Xuanzhen returning with a delighted expression, apparently also aware of the impending departure from the mountain.
However, Xiao Xuanzhen's expression changed upon seeing him, she snorted:
"'Little Sword Immortal' Junior Brother, this journey you are undertaking is fraught with dangers. I have agreed to co down the mountain to protect you."
"Aren't you going to say thank you?"
"I'm not interested." Chen Yi turned around and left.
Xiao Xuanzhen: "..."
In her mind, two figures appeared instantaneously; one was her and the other was Chen Yi.
The outco need not be ntioned.
That figure nad Xiao Xuanzhen had already used the Taixu Eight Skills to pin down the little Chen Yi and give him a thorough beating.
Die, you villain!
...
The next day, early morning.
Chen Yi and Xie Changle left Sword Edge Mountain together, eting up with Xiao Xuanzhen and Hua Xianzi down at Wangdu Peak.
For the sake of discretion, they didn't wear the Grand Void Sect Daoist robes but opted for casual attire.
Both Xiao Xuanzhen and Hua Xianzi also wore hats with veils covering their faces.
"Let's go!"
The fourso did not linger, riding tall horses and heading out of the mountains.
The previous evening, Chen Yi had said his goodbyes to Lin Xueru and others, having a lively gathering at Qianmo Cliff.
Although the little girl felt reluctant, she obediently didn't say much.
Instead, upon returning to Sword Edge Mountain, Ning Xue specially ca over to give him a reminder, urging him to be careful and keep his identity hidden while traveling.
Chen Yi naturally agreed repeatedly, telling her to stay calm on the mountain.
He then sought out Sun Zhengqiu.
Learning that Chen Yuan was also in the Southern Barbarian Land was surprising, yet he looked forward to possibly eting his senior during this journey.
Also, the "Hidden Dragon" seed to be scheming against the Lu Mansion, with another Bronze Venerable contacting Sun Zhengqiu recently.
After pondering, Chen Yi advised him to keep an eye on things, and if necessary, to expose Hidden Dragon's sches to the Lu Mansion in advance to prepare them.
After all, he was traveling to the Southern Barbarian Land and could not manage everything from afar.
Half a day later, Chen Yi and his companions briefly rested and resupplied at an inn outside the mountain, then headed directly south.
Once out of the Grand Void Sect's territory, Xie Changle's expression instantly relaxed.
The ti he had spent on Sword Edge Mountain had nearly driven him mad.
Xiao Xuanzhen also showed a bit of excitent; this was her:first ti leaving the Sect to travel.
For her, everything outside the mountains was novel.
Only Chen Yi and Hua Xianzi maintained their usual expressions, occasionally chatting while they traveled.
"Has Sister You Rong made proper arrangents?"
Hua Xianzi tilted her head, her gaze not as evasive as before, she looked directly at him:
"I have asked Master to take care of her, she just needs tily supplies of the dicinal ingredients needed for alchemy."
"I'm more worried about Er Hua than San i."
"Worried she won't cultivate properly at Qianmo Cliff?"
"Yes, Er Hua enjoys frolic, without supervision, she wouldn't cultivate for half of the day."
Chen Yi, recalling Er Hua's spirited temperant, shifted the topic with a smile.
It was also fortunate that Hua Youxiang had earned the qualification to attend the Wei Dynasty festival; otherwise, it would indeed be difficult for her to stay focused on cultivating.
Compared to her, Hua Xianzi was much steadier.
On Qianmo Cliff, she was either cultivating or observing the traces of techniques on the smooth cliff faces, pondering the true intent of the Fire-Wood technique.
She wasted not a mont.
In fact, aside from Chen Yi, the other few mostly spent half the day cultivating and half the day observing the traces of techniques.
Most of his ti, however, was spent practicing the Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique, trying his best to enhance his Cultivation Realm.
At this mont, Xie Changle spoke up to remind everyone: "Junior brothers and sisters, the area below the mountain is not like the Sect, we must be more cautious."
"Recently, many promising Jianghu Guests have been slain by demons, including so highly ranked talents from the Earthly List."
"Besides demons, the Bai Shen Sect's Evil Demons are also secretly ambushing Sect prodigies."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuanzhen raised an eyebrow and asked, "Brother Changle, haven't the other Sects retaliated?"
"It's difficult," Xie Changle shook his head and explained, "Sister, you might not be aware, but these demons have been hiding in the Wei Dynasty for many years."
"That they haven't been tracked down by the Night Watch Departnt for so long indicates their strength and patience."
"Fortunately, the talents who have been ambushed so far are mostly below the fourth rank. With Junior Brother Chen with us, we are much safer."
On saying this, Xie Changle looked towards Chen Yi and said, "Junior brother, please take extra care on this journey."
Chen Yi nodded, not voicing his thoughts.
He harbored many doubts.
Although he was present on this journey, ensuring a level of safety, normally, the Sect should have had an elder accompany them.
