Master, Your Disciple Has Arrived

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Qingfeng also took a rare one-month break on his journey to pursue the Great Dao. Every day, he simply cultivated his mind and body, accompanied his women, and lived a leisurely life.

After all, having struggled for so long, couldn't he enjoy himself a little?

On this day, the First Elder sent someone to call Gu Qingfeng to attend the succession ceremony.

For such an important moment, Gu Qingfeng naturally went in his true body.

He made his way to the main hall of the Heaven Severing Sect. By this time, it was already packed with people, including disciples of the Heaven Severing Sect as well as witnesses sent by various major factions.

As the inauguration of the Heaven Severing Sect's Master, such a grand occasion naturally required inviting guests far and wide for the world to witness.

To boost the grandeur of the event, the Heaven Severing Sect brought out a lot of their hidden wealth. A dazzling array of immortal herbs and fruits were displayed, and there were even true dragons and colorful phoenixes flying about. The scene was incredibly majestic.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Gu Qingfeng made his entrance. He wore the Myriad Manifestations Dharma Robe exclusive to the Sect Master, a golden crown on his head, and held a scepter in his hand, exuding an unhurried and composed demeanor.

Under everyone's gaze, he went through the tedious steps of the succession ceremony one by one.

Congratulations echoed continuously from all around.

However, Gu Qingfeng felt no ripples in his heart; he was even a bit annoyed.

He felt that it was merely taking over the position of a Sect Master—was there a need for it to be so complicated?

He was still waiting to go learn some postures with his luscious master.

The succession ceremony lasted for a full half-day before it concluded. Just when Gu Qingfeng thought it was over, who knew that as the Sect Master, he still had to go and meet the helmsmen of the various major factions.

Tossing and turning like this took another half-day.

Only after a full day had passed did Gu Qingfeng finally finish all his tasks.

At night, he stayed in the Sect Master's palace. Looking at the magnificent yet empty room, a wave of loneliness washed over him.

Why hasn't that little lass Mu Yuhan called this Emperor over for dual cultivation yet? This Emperor is still waiting to quickly initiate the Eternal Era.

Gu Qingfeng paced back and forth in the palace. His mind kept flashing back to his beautiful master, who was dressed in snow-white clothes, had a proud and upright figure, and wore a cold expression. He was burning with anxiety.

.........

In the bamboo forest.

Mu Yuhan stood quietly, staring blankly at the bright moon.

A Black Crow flew over.

Ye Chu has already become the Master of the Heaven Severing Sect. Why haven't you called him over to mate yet?

Mu Yuhan's face was calm. Let's do it tomorrow. He has been busy all day today and must be exhausted.

Exhausted? the Black Crow said in dissatisfaction. Your excuse is far too clumsy. That boy is an Immortal King expert, after all. How could he get tired from being busy for one day?

Mu Yuhan did not speak.

The Black Crow grew even more dissatisfied and was about to urge her, but then it seemed to hear some movement. Its eyes lit up. That boy is here!

Mu Yuhan's delicate body suddenly trembled slightly, but she still remained silent.

The Black Crow said, Since the prey has delivered himself to the door, hurry up and execute the plan! Do it tonight, don't delay. The World-Destroying Demon Emperor has already planted his minions in the Heaven Severing Sect. A delay might cause unexpected changes.

I understand. You may leave.

The Black Crow cried out, I will stay behind to supervise you. Don't tell me you're afraid of being watched by a crow.

Clang!

With a crisp hum of a sword, the longsword on Mu Yuhan's back was unsheathed, revealing half a section of snow-white sword light.

A faint trace of killing intent permeated the air.

The Black Crow instantly stiffened all over, acting as if facing a great enemy, and hurriedly flapped its wings and flew away.

If you don't want me to watch, just say so. Why get angry!

In a flash, the Black Crow disappeared into the void without a trace.

A moment later, Gu Qingfeng stepped into the bamboo forest. Seeing the cold female sword immortal standing under the moonlight, independent from the world, his heart couldn't help but burn with passion. He quickly took a few steps forward and said, Disciple greets Master!

Mhm. Mu Yuhan nodded indifferently, a complex look flashing through her eyes as she looked at Gu Qingfeng.

After saying Mhm, Mu Yuhan had nothing else to say.

This made Gu Qingfeng very dissatisfied. Was she going to be this passive? You were the one who brought up dual cultivation, and now you're not going to make a move?

So he spoke up, Disciple has not failed his mission and has successfully ascended to the position of Sect Master.

Mhm, you've worked hard, Mu Yuhan said lightly, and then fell into silence once again.

Damn it!

Gu Qingfeng pushed harder, Disciple remembers Master saying before that once disciple ascends to the position of Sect Master, there would be some matters to instruct me on. Now that disciple is already the Sect Master, I ask Master to speak plainly.

Mu Yuhan's gaze became even more complex. After hesitating for a moment, she said, It is getting late today. Let us talk about whatever matters there are tomorrow.

Talk my ass!

Gu Qingfeng cursed loudly in his heart. You tricked me into becoming the Sect Master, and now you want to back out? No way!

There's no time to lose, delays lead to trouble! It has to be tonight! Right now! Immediately!!

Master, disciple sees that you look worried, and you insisted on waiting until disciple became the Sect Master before telling me this matter. This means that this matter must be extremely serious. Disciple has received deep grace from Master and has no way to repay it. Now that I have achieved success in my cultivation, it is the perfect time to share Master's burdens.

Master, just tell me. Don't hide things in your heart, and don't shoulder them alone. Although disciple's abilities are limited, I am willing to risk my life to solve Master's problems!

Gu Qingfeng spoke with absolute sincerity, his eyes full of concern for his Master.

Mu Yuhan's delicate body trembled imperceptibly.

Finally, making up her mind, she sighed and said, Come inside with me.

After speaking, Mu Yuhan turned and walked toward the bamboo house.

Her light figure fluttered like an immortal. As she turned, her long black hair danced along, and a faint fragrance from her hair drifted in the wind.

Gu Qingfeng looked at that indescribable back, as well as the black hair swaying and swinging with her steps. The concern for his Master in his eyes had long dissipated, replaced by a burning passion.

Truly graceful!

Right now, he only had one thought in his mind, and that was to grab Mu Yuhan's hair from behind, and then...

Hehehe...

Master, your disciple is coming!

Gu Qingfeng hurriedly followed Mu Yuhan into the house.

The decoration inside the house was very simple, with almost no extra adornments. There was only a bamboo bed and a table made of bamboo.

After entering the house.

Clang!

Mu Yuhan drew the longsword from her back, and a cold, clear sword hum rang out.

Gu Qingfeng was instantly startled. He wasn't startled because Mu Yuhan might attack; he was startled because the cooked duck that had flown into his hands was about to fly away!

He wasn't afraid of a fight, but starting a fight before even letting him touch her—wasn't that a bit lacking in martial virtue?

In the next moment, the longsword flew out of the bamboo house, transforming into a sword curtain outside that firmly guarded the bamboo house.

Gu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. So she was just afraid of being spied on by others.

The more crucial the moment, the less one could afford to drop the ball.

Gu Qingfeng understood this principle very well, so he continued his performance, Master, just what kind of major event requires such precautions even within the Heaven Severing Sect?

Mu Yuhan gave him a complex look and didn't explain. Instead, she slowly said, Lie down on the bed.

Alrighty! Lying down right now.

Thinking this in his heart, his face instead showed a look of bewilderment. Master, what is the meaning of this?

Mu Yuhan frowned. No need for words. Just do as I instruct.
