36: It simply found its owner.

For some reason, Yun Qingci felt that Revered Master's words seemed to carry a hint of disdain.

Disdain that she had returned too quickly...?

Yun Qingci quickly shook her head.

No, no, she must be overthinking it..."Uh... Revered Master, I, I just got back... What... what were you two doing just now?"

Hearing that Qing Ci had just returned, Di Luoying subtly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, she hadn't seen the scene where Gu Yuan had just kissed her.

Otherwise, she would lose all her Revered Master's prestige in front of Qing Ci.

"Ahem, nothing, nothing, it's just that Sword Immortal Di felt my Aptitude was decent and was about to teach me a Sword Technique. Yes, exactly."

When he saw Di Luoying give him a look that said, 'You handle this,' Gu Yuan quickly came up with an excuse.

Eh...?

Is that true?

Yun Qingci glanced at Gu Yuan skeptically.

"Mhm... Gu Yuan is correct. This Venerable One indeed thinks he is a talented individual. Well, you two chat. This Venerable One is going to see Yingxue."

Di Luoying shot Gu Yuan a look, then floated away.

But before leaving, she left Gu Yuan a Voice Transmission:

"Come find me tonight. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

Uh... Gu Yuan blinked his eyes.

Honestly, why does this feel so much like sneaking around... Qing Ci is still here!

Oh, she can't hear it. Then it's fine.

"Hey, Gu Yuan, what are you thinking about?"

Yun Qingci poked Gu Yuan's hand and asked curiously.

Emmm

Gu Yuan quickly waved his hand, indicating it was nothing.

"Is that so? Gu Yuan, we are friends, right?"

At that moment, Yun Qingci suddenly asked seriously.

The Little Noodle on top of her head also stood up accordingly.

Gu Yuan was stunned when he heard this, then nodded with a smile.

"Of course we are. Why did you suddenly get so serious?"

Yun Qingci pouted, then leaned closer.

"Then tell me, did you know my Revered Master before? I've never seen Revered Master act like that in front of a man."

Uh... Gu Yuan gave a light cough, then awkwardly turned his head away.

"Mhm... Qing Ci, what are you talking about? How could I possibly know the Sword Immortal? Just now, Sword Immortal Di really just saw that my Aptitude was okay and taught me a few moves..."

Yun Qingci frowned and scrutinized Gu Yuan from head to toe.

Gu Yuan also tried hard to maintain a serious expression, looking directly at her without changing his demeanor.

"Fine, then I'll assume what you said is true."

Hearing her say this, Gu Yuan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

But before he could speak, Yun Qingci continued:

"But if I find out later that you lied to me, Gu Yuan, I will be very angry, I mean it!"

Yun Qingci said with an extremely serious expression.

Gu Yuan froze for a moment after hearing this, then nodded.

"That's for sure. Don't worry, I absolutely won't lie to you!"

I know Luoying, not some Sword Immortal.

After all, she didn't tell me she was a Sword Immortal back then.

Hmm, if I put it that way, this really doesn't count as lying to Qing Ci.

Gu Yuan comforted himself internally.

It's just that Gu Yuan at this moment would never have imagined.

How miserable Gu Yuan would be when this Little Noodle learned the truth in the near future... *Ahem*, but that's a story for another time..."Luoying... it's been a long time since we last met, hasn't it? You..."

Inside the main hall of the Jade Moon Sect.

Dongfang Yingxue looked at Di Luoying walking in and said with a slight smile.

But upon seeing the other party, she suddenly frowned, and her expression became hesitant.

"Luoying... what happened to your Sword Heart? No, that's not right. It's clearly no longer pure, but why do I feel that your cultivation has instead advanced a few steps..."

Dongfang Yingxue could clearly sense that Di Luoying's originally clear and bright Sword Heart was no longer pure.

But strangely, her Dao of the Sword seemed to have advanced several steps further.

It was still a Divine Sword that seemed capable of piercing heaven and earth.

But Dongfang Yingxue had a feeling that this Divine Sword seemed to have found a target.

What... what is going on...?

Upon hearing this, Di Luoying merely shook her head gently.

"Yingxue, long time no see. Since we parted, you have become the Empress Qiongyue."

Dongfang Yingxue sighed, then pulled Di Luoying down to sit.

"Empress Qiongyue... that's just a title given by outsiders. Luoying, tell me, what exactly happened to your Sword Heart?"

The relationship between Dongfang Yingxue and Di Luoying was extremely good.

Although the two hadn't met for a long time, Dongfang Yingxue was still very concerned about her.

Di Luoying showed a faint smile at this moment, and she whispered:

"There is nothing wrong with my Sword Heart. It merely... found its Revered Master."

Ah...?

Dongfang Yingxue's beautiful face froze in surprise.

The Empress Qiongyue, renowned for her cold demeanor, now wore a foolish expression.

Wait, what the heck is a Revered Master?

Could it be that Luoying has developed a Heart Demon?

Thinking of this, Dongfang Yingxue's expression instantly tensed up.

She immediately restrained Di Luoying, while simultaneously injecting a stream of Spiritual Qi into the other party's body to carefully sense her condition.

A moment later, Dongfang Yingxue became even more confused.

Because Di Luoying's body had no issues whatsoever.

This is even stranger!

Seeing this, Di Luoying sighed helplessly.

"What are you thinking? I haven't Fallen into Depravity, and there are no problems with my body."

"Then, what did you mean by what you just said?"

Dongfang Yingxue asked blankly.

After hearing this, Di Luoying merely pursed her lips and said seriously:

"It's the literal meaning, Yingxue. I found that person."

Hm!?

Dongfang Yingxue widened her eyes upon hearing this.

She had heard Luoying mention 'that person' before.

Back then, Luoying had told her that she would definitely find that person.

So... is this state because she found him...?

Di Luoying's beautiful eyes blinked lightly, filled with tenderness.

"Do you know? The moment I saw him, my Sword Heart, my long sword, my entire being, rejoiced for him."

"Since he intervened in my life, he needs to be prepared for everything."

"Because, from now on, he will be mine. Heaven and Earth, Gods and Spirits, nothing can separate us."

Di Luoying's voice was very soft.

But the determination contained within it was incredibly firm.

Dongfang Yingxue was momentarily at a loss for words.

She had never imagined hearing such things from Luoying.

Because... aren't these the kinds of things that young women who fall in love in Romance Novels say?

This, this is too mushy!

For some reason, Dongfang Yingxue thought of Gu Yuan.

Because that Rebellious Disciple was exactly like this, saying such extremely mushy words every day.
