Xia Liu glanced in the direction where Ye Wuya left, then turned his head towards Hao Fan and said, "Brother Hao, you have great talent. With more practice, you'll definitely be able to pass the Bamboo Sea Sword Array."

Being named by Xia Liu, Hao Fan was stunned in place, unsure how to respond.

"Ye Min, Senior Ye has already vouched for you. Your future is limitless. I hope you can always maintain your current mindset and temperament."

"I will remember Chief Xia's teachings!"

How could Ye Min dare to forget them?

Ever since meeting Xia Liu, his life trajectory had begun to change, and now he was favored by the ancestors again.

In the future, with more effort, he would definitely achieve success.

Xia Liu glanced at Ye Yuan. Towards this elder of the Ye Family, Xia Liu could only give a gentle smile, everything said without words.

"Alright everyone, I shall take my leave first."

Without waiting for a response, Xia Liu surged his Divine Sense, stepping onto the Flowing Fire Sword and pursuing after Ye Wuya.

"Wow! Chief Xia can actually fly!"

"My heavens! What is Chief Xia's cultivation level exactly?"

"Terrifying! It's really terrifying! Someone can actually fly!"

"Is this Xia Liu, the Heavenly Mansion Chief, the number one in the realm?"

Watching Xia Liu disappear into the sky for a long, long time, Chen Mei sighed deeply.

In the end, she and Xia Liu were people from different worlds.

However, being able to talk to him today, to be named by him, to watch him exhibit his power, perhaps this life would be enough.

...

Deep in the Bamboo Sea, there were no bamboo groves but a maple forest.

At this time, Huaxia's weather was already in autumn, with maple trees laden with yellow leaves.

In the maple forest, there was a pond, measuring only a few hundred meters in size.

Beside the pond stood a simple pavilion.

Under the pavilion were two people, an elder and a youth.

"Senior Ye, is this the place where you cultivate?"

Looking at the beautiful scenery of the pond and maple forest, Xia Liu felt a bit envious.

If he didn't have those burdens, if he could live with the girls in such a beautiful place, it would surely be very blissful and beautiful.

"Cultivation can be done anywhere. The scenery here is good, so it's a place for me to drink tea and admire the moon."

Saying this, Ye Wuya poured a cup of light tea for Xia Liu.

A faint Spiritual Energy immediately wafted from the tea.

Upon detecting it, Xia Liu was immediately amazed. This tea reminded him of Chen Tian'en.

Back at the Chen Family, Chen Tian'en had also brewed this kind of Spiritual Tea for him.

He wondered how Chen Tian'en was doing now.

Once this conversation was over, Xia Liu planned to immediately head to the Chen Family.

Chen Tian'en's matters couldn't be delayed any further.

"This tea is truly remarkable, it even contains Spiritual Energy!"

"Ha, of course. I've kept this tea for nearly eighty years; it's probably very rare now."

Ye Wuya was very pleased because Xia Liu recognized its value.

"Senior Ye is truly impressive, to be able to collect such tea."

Xia Liu responded in agreement.

"When I was young, I often traveled, so I collected many strange and unusual things."

Talking about his youth, Ye Wuya was quite excited and spoke a bit more.

This included many events with the geniuses of the Five Immortal Sects.

The one he talked about the most was Sage Qingjue from Shu Mountain.

Ye Wuya had met Sage Qingjue in the Bitter Realm Region.

That year, they were both young and high-spirited cultivators.

To become stronger, they were willing to do anything.

At that time, the newly acquainted Ye Wuya and Sage Qingjue had entered Loulan together.

After a series of events, they became bosom friends.

Later, as they grew older, the distance became longer, and due to some matters, Ye Wuya and Qingjue became strangers.

They could even be considered as adversaries on some level.

After finishing these words with Xia Liu, the sky was gradually darkening.

Under the cover of night, Ye Wuya did not let Xia Liu notice the redness in his eyes.

Having known each other for decades, he and Qingjue had long since become inseparable Daoist fellows.

Even after a near-century-long cold war, they were bound to reconnect in the end.

"Senior Ye, I am truly grateful to you this time. If it weren't for you going to Shu Mountain to invite Sage Qingjue, I might have perished."

"And your intervention to stop Ye Tiande from destroying the village, I am deeply grateful!"

Xia Liu cupped his fists and bowed to Ye Wuya.

This courtesy was deserved, and Ye Wuya was worthy of it.

"You're overthinking it. No one helped protect your village, Ye Tiande just shattered the mountain gate in rage upon seeing you were gone."

Ye Wuya shook his head and chuckled wryly.

"No matter what, I must thank Senior Ye. It was you who helped protect the village."

"Alright, alright, let's say it was my effort."

Ye Wuya waved his hand, signaling Xia Liu to stop discussing the topic.

"By the way, Senior Ye, Sage Qingjue asked me to pass a message to you..."

Before Xia Liu could finish, Ye Wuya raised his hand to indicate he stop.

"Refer to me as you or old man; otherwise, don't speak to me."

Ye Wuya was quite particular.

Xia Liu's seniority was likely higher than his own, but being addressed like that made him feel inferior.

That wouldn't do. If his Honored Master were here, he'd probably get scolded.

"Elder Ye, Sage Qingjue asked me to convey a message to you."

Xia Liu initially thought Ye Wuya might not bring up Sage Qingjue, which was quite nerve-wracking.

"Oh? What did the old man want you to tell me?"

"Sage Qingjue said he realized his past wrongdoings and hopes you can forgive him. He also wishes for opportunities to eat, drink tea, and chat together in the future."

As soon as Xia Liu finished speaking, Ye Wuya stood up, looking at Xia Liu in disbelief and asked, "Did he really say that?"

"Yes."

"Ahaha! That guy actually admitted his fault, not simple! Truly not simple!"

Once confirmed, Ye Wuya started laughing crazily.

"He wasn't wrong in the slightest, yet he wants to apologize, asking for my forgiveness..."

After laughing crazily for a while, Ye Wuya slumped onto the chair despondently.

The cold war had lasted nearly a hundred years, and he had initiated all of it.

The faults and sins rested on his shoulders, what did an apology mean! Thischapterwasmadepossiblebythecommunityat*.

"This..."

Xia Liu wore a bitter smile.

He wasn't sure what had transpired, but this situation was quite in line with Sage Qingjue's character.

The founding of Shu Mountain wasn't just for the people of the world; it had remained unchanged from ancient times.

As the Sect Leader of Shu Mountain, Sage Qingjue did the right thing.

Even without wrongdoing, actively forgiving to rekindle a Daoist friend's heart was worth it.

"Where is he now?"

After calming down, Ye Wuya asked.

"Sage Qingjue said he would help protect the village until the Immortal Sect competition."

"Ah, I remember now. You were forced to participate in the Immortal Sect competition. In that case, let's leave everything for then."

Ye Wuya nodded.

After going to Shu Mountain, he only delivered a message and then left swiftly.

If it weren't for Xia Liu, he might never have gone to Shu Mountain in this lifetime.

This time, he really made a mistake; everything would have to wait until the Immortal Sect competition to find Qingjue...
