Volume 1 Rebirth Return Chapter 47 Xuan Tian's Aura

  Liu Qingyun's sudden movement made Liu Mingzhi stunned for a moment, and then he smiled with relief.

  "It's fine as long as you're back." With that, Mingzhi gave Qingyun a gentle lift, and Qingyun was helped to his feet.

  Liu Qingyun sat down, furrowing his brow and anxiously asked, "Master... how did you end up like this?!" If it weren't for the guidance of the small jade gourd and that familiar aura, he really wouldn't have dared to confirm that this white-haired old man was actually his master.

  "Ah...... it's like this......" Now that things have come to this point, Liu Mingzhi had no choice but to tell Liu Qingyun about what happened ten years ago.

  Liu Qingyun listened and slammed his hand on the table, angrily saying "Who is that black-clothed man?!"

  Seeing Liu Qingyun's angry look, he was very pleased, but also worried. In his heyday, he couldn't even deal with that black-clothed man, and now he had just recovered six or seven successful forces, so he must not be the opponent of that person.

  "That person was also severely injured by me and is probably dead by now." Liu Mingzhi could only comfort his apprentice like this.

  When Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, Liu Qingyun looked at him, pursing his lips tightly. He was no longer a child and naturally understood that his master was trying to comfort himself. Having been away for twenty years, he had experienced many things, and in order not to worry his master, he would not argue with him again. At the same time, he also knew that this person seemed to be difficult to deal with.

  But if he were to give up like this, it's really impossible. If that person is dead, then so be it, but if not, he won't let the enemy hide in the shadows. You know, enemies hiding in the shadows are the most terrifying.

  It seems that he can't leave, the enemy is in the dark, if he ascends to a high position, Master will inevitably be exposed, and if the enemy finds out, he will be passive, let alone the existence of Tianji Gate does not allow him to ascend to a high position.

  To know that Heaven grants them the ability but will not allow them to have supreme power, this is also the reason why no one in the Tianji Gate has been crowned king or emperor for generations.

  The next day, Liu Qingyun returned to the troops and handed over his work. He vanished into thin air, and no matter how many people were sent to look for him, he was nowhere to be found.

  In fact, Liu Qingyun and Liu Mingzhi didn't go anywhere, they stayed in the capital all along. Until 1982, when Liu Mingzhi passed away, Liu Qingyun left the capital, heading west, and arrived at Qingmu County.

  If it weren't for the black-clad man draining his innate energy back then, Liu Mingzhi wouldn't have died so early. After all, after entering the Innate Realm, his lifespan would be at least two hundred years old.

  Liu Qingyun never gave up on the idea of avenging his master, not just for his master's sake but also for the peace of the ancient martial world. That person cultivated such a vicious technique, able to steal others' powers for himself; if he were allowed to live, it would surely bring great chaos to the ancient martial world. For years, Liu Qingyun had been secretly investigating that person's whereabouts, but with little gain. If not for the divination showing that person was still alive, he would have thought him dead already.

  So there was the scene where Liu Qingyun handed over the account book to Su Rui.

  Liu Qingyun finished speaking and found Su Rui frowning silently. He sighed, just about to speak, when he was interrupted by Su Rui.

  "Master, are you planning to expel me from the sect?"

  "You scoundrel, when did I ever say that I would expel you from the sect?!" Liu Qingyun heard Su Rui say this and suddenly became somewhat angry.

  Who would have thought that Su Rui, upon hearing Master's scolding, slowed down his expression and smiled, saying "If you're not planning to expel me from the sect, why did you go to avenge Master yourself? Do you think my ability is too poor and will drag your hind legs? Who was it that praised my talent this morning? Or do you think I, as a disciple, am not qualified to avenge Master?"

  Su Rui's words left Liu Qingyun speechless. He opened his mouth to explain, but found that no matter what he said, it only made things worse.

  Seeing his own apprentice looking at him with a half-smile, he couldn't help but say "You, you, Master didn't let you get involved, it's for your own good."

  Su Rui naturally knew that the master decided to go alone for revenge, not letting her know, was to protect her. However, she also had her own persistence. Since her rebirth, the master was the first person to give her warmth. Although her initial purpose of becoming an apprentice was not pure, but after this period of interaction, she already regarded the master as her own family and couldn't let him go for revenge alone. Moreover, she was the destined person chosen by the Heavenly Way to revive the Tianji Gate, so it shouldn't be easy for her to die. That's why she took the matter of revenge upon herself.

  "Master, I know you're afraid I'll get hurt, but don't forget, I'm a destined person, it's not that easy for me to die."

  "You... You might not die, but I can't guarantee you won't get hurt." Although Liu Qingyun thought this in his heart, he didn't say it out loud. However, the worry in his eyes couldn't be hidden from Su Rui.

  Su Rui's heart warmed up, "Master, don't worry, I definitely won't go for revenge now. If I'm going to take revenge, it'll be when I have enough power. You also know that my talent is very good, you see..." As she spoke, Su Rui brought the purple gas in her body, also known as the Xuan Tian's aura, to her fingertips.

  "This is... the aura of Xuantian!" Liu Qingyun suddenly grasped Su Rui's hand and stared at her fingertips.

  "This is truly the Xuan Tian's aura! Heaven!" He suddenly raised his head, staring at Su Rui with piercing eyes, "You actually condensed the Xuan Tian's aura now! It seems that Master said it right, heaven blesses our Tian Ji Gate!"

  "Huh, Master, so this purple energy is actually the Xuan Tian's energy? The name sounds pretty good too. I managed to cultivate it on my first day, is Xuan Tian's energy very powerful?" Su Rui still felt that these surprises were not enough and suddenly blurted out another one.

  Liu Qingyun was speechless, staring at Su Rui with a strange gaze. He thought to himself, "Could this disciple of mine be an abnormal being?" To have cultivated the Xuan Tian Qi on the first day, it meant that Su Rui had skipped over both the acquired and innate stages. If those old monsters from the ancient martial world were to find out, they would definitely treat Su Rui as a freak, and who knows what they might do for their own gain. Thinking of this, Liu Qingyun began to worry again.

  "How can you easily let others know your secrets? It's really too careless." Liu Qingyun said with some blame.

  Su Rui saw the worry in Master's eyes, and her heart felt warm. "You're not someone else, besides, I don't know what this is either. If I have doubts, of course, I'll ask Master."

  Knowing that this was the apprentice's trust in him, Liu Qingyun also relaxed his expression. "From now on, you must not tell anyone else, knowing people but not their hearts is too dangerous." He also thought that if there were people with abilities higher than Su Rui who intentionally investigated, Su Rui's secret might be discovered. So he worriedly said, "Tomorrow, I will find a spiritual artifact for you to conceal your powers, from now on, remember not to tell anyone else."

  After Su Wei repeatedly assured him, Liu Qingyun finally let Su Wei leave.

  Digression

  It's finally back, although the progress is a bit slow, but don't worry, everyone!
