Tianyan Sect, Tianyan Peak.
Inside the grand hall, only Lv Xuan and Bai Xuanling were present at the moment.
Everyone else had been cleared out, even Yanyun.
Bai Xuanling had personally escorted Chu Xingchen back to the Tianyan Sect. While causing quite a stir, she had also summoned cultivators she knew well who were proficient in medical arts to examine his injuries.
Now that the matter was settled, Bai Xuanling finally arrived at Tianyan Peak.
Lv Xuan looked at Bai Xuanling, whose expression was slightly desolate, with a look of gratification and joy. He slowly asked,
"How is Chu Xingchen's condition?"
"His injuries are quite severe. He will need to recuperate for a period of time," Bai Xuanling sighed softly.
Lv Xuan nodded slightly. "If there are any needs, the entire Tianyan Sect will do its utmost to satisfy them."
Bai Xuanling shook her head and said,
"Little Baiqing has cried her eyes red. To Chu Xingchen, I'm afraid there is nothing more precious than her tears."
Lv Xuan remained silent for a moment. Looking at Bai Xuanling, whose aura had grown even more profound, he asked,
"Have you... achieved the realm of True Immortal?"
"Yes," Bai Xuanling nodded.
Lv Xuan subconsciously stroked his beard and said,
"Then why haven't you ascended?"
Bai Xuanling's expression remained composed. "If I do nothing, then it will indeed be soon."
"What do you mean by that?" Lv Xuan frowned.
Bai Xuanling did not answer. She directed her gaze outside the door.
"It has been a long time since I felt this relaxed. All the shackles on my body have been completely cast off, making it feel so surreal. Or rather, everything feels so surreal."
Lv Xuan pondered, his eyes fixed on Bai Xuanling.
Bai Xuanling stood up and walked outside. "Alright, you've seen me. Specific details will naturally be sent back through intelligence reports later. You know I've never liked making reports."
Seeing this, Lv Xuan immediately spoke up,
"Some matters cannot be handled with emotion. For many things, there is only one opportunity."
Bai Xuanling ignored Lv Xuan's words and continued walking out in her slightly damaged armored skirt.
"Lingyu and the others will be back soon. I have to go check on them."
Seeing this, Lv Xuan shook his head slightly and let out a soft sigh.
Always doing whatever she pleases like this.
But it's good enough that she came back alive.
Thinking of this, Lv Xuan shook his head slightly again.
Never mind, this is already an unexpected joy. I won't ask for anything more.
The Loving Family Peak.
Chen Baiqing, with reddened eyes, held a handkerchief and gently wiped Chu Xingchen's face.
At this moment, Chu Xingchen's eyes were tightly shut, and his lips were pursed. One could tell at a glance that he was in absolute agony.
Li Xingtian stood beside Chen Baiqing, his expression equally anxious.
Although several Mahayana or Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators had come to examine him and confirmed that their master's life was not in danger.
At the same time, many heavenly materials and earthly treasures had been urgently dispatched to heal his injuries.
Even though his life was not in danger, but... their master's cultivation had dropped all the way to the early Nascent Soul stage.
Such a drastic drop, anyone would understand that this was a major crisis.
A cultivator's future path could be completely severed because of this.
Chen Baiqing gently wiped her master's face. Her reddened eyes gradually lifted, and she said in a calm voice,
"Second Senior Brother, can you contact Xu Jin of the Xuanqing Heaven Sect?"
Hearing this, Li Xingtian was taken aback and looked at Chen Baiqing with a puzzled gaze.
Chen Baiqing's tone remained calm as she continued,
"It's not that I don't trust Big Sister Bai, but given the current situation, we can't just listen to the one-sided words of the Tianyan Sect. With Master's current condition, we can no longer just be obedient little disciples."
"If we don't make our own plans now, if we don't understand the current circumstances, and if there is a next time, will Senior Brother forgive himself for not being vigilant enough today?"
Li Xingtian did not know how to reply. He understood that although Chen Baiqing said she didn't distrust them, in reality, she did.
He also admitted that Chen Baiqing's words made sense.
But once this precedent was set, it would be highly likely to spiral out of control in the future.
If Bai Xuanling wasn't trusted, what about Xie Lingyu?
Trust is mutual. If there is too much suspicion...
Chen Baiqing waited for a moment. Receiving no answer, she looked calmly at Li Xingtian, her tone exceptionally serene,
"Senior Brother, we are family. The only ones we can trust are family. But Senior Brother should also understand that without Master, we will no longer have this family."
Hearing this, Li Xingtian took a deep breath. A myriad of thoughts swirled in his mind, but he subconsciously nodded in agreement.
"Alright, I'll get it done. I'll trouble Junior Sister to take good care of Master."
Chen Baiqing nodded slightly.
Li Xingtian turned around and headed outside.
No matter what, Third Junior Sister was also family, and he did not want Master to suffer any more accidents.
Listening to Li Xingtian's departing footsteps, Chen Baiqing unconsciously gripped the handkerchief in her hand tightly. She whispered,
"It was Baiqing who didn't do well enough. Master, rest well. Baiqing will take care of what needs to be done."
Chen Baiqing lowered her eyes and fell silent.
Time slipped away, an unknown amount of it passing.
Hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by the slow and faint sound of the door being pushed open.
Hearing hurried breathing approaching, Chen Baiqing looked up and glanced sideways. She saw her Eldest Senior Sister with widened eyes, slowly approaching the side of the bed, her lips tightly pursed and her body stiff.
Zhang Miaoyu stood outside the door and did not enter.
"Master... is he alright?"
Li Yingling's voice was extremely soft, and the trembling within it could be heard.
Chen Baiqing loosened her grip on the handkerchief and replied softly,
"The cultivators of the Tianyan Sect said Master is fine."
"Master's aura..."
Chen Baiqing did not reply. She placed the handkerchief back into the water basin beside her.
The faint sound of water startled the tense Li Yingling.
Li Yingling looked sideways.
"What happened?"
"Second Senior Brother went to ask," Chen Baiqing said, looking at the water in the basin. She then asked, "Did Eldest Senior Sister really know nothing about this?"
Li Yingling pursed her lips. This sentence sounded like a question, but also like an accusation.
But... she indeed deserved the blame.
She was clearly close to Master, yet she knew nothing and hadn't figured out the situation at all.
She had only received a message saying Master was injured, telling her to urgently return to the Tianyan Sect.
Chen Baiqing looked back at her Eldest Senior Sister and was momentarily stunned.
Tears shimmered in Li Yingling's eyes. Her gaze was fixed tightly on Chu Xingchen. With pursed lips, she leaned slightly forward but did not approach, as if she wanted to draw closer but felt timid.
Chen Baiqing had never seen her Eldest Senior Sister display such obvious vulnerability.
Eldest Senior Sister had always been full of youthful vigor. She seemed to do everything effortlessly, and her favorite thing to say was to complain about others being stupid and weak.
Yet, this confident and genius Eldest Senior Sister.
Was now so fragile that perhaps a single word could completely shatter her emotions.
Although Eldest Senior Sister prided herself on being a genius and acted as if everyone else in the world was a fool.
She was also the one who trusted Master the most. As long as it was something Master said, she would instinctively believe ninety percent of it right away.
Her reliance on him went without saying. Master's severe injury must have dealt her a heavy blow.
Chen Baiqing slowly stood up, her voice softening.
"Eldest Senior Sister, Master needs to recuperate. Inside and outside the sect..."
Chen Baiqing did not finish her sentence.
Li Yingling completely understood Chen Baiqing's meaning. She subconsciously wiped the tears from her eyes and whispered,
"Rest assured, Junior Sister. With your Eldest Senior Sister here, Master will be safe and sound."
At those words, Chen Baiqing felt her eyes sting with tears once more.
She hated this.
She never wanted to feel this way ever again.

He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples.
