Chapter 21 Chapter 21. Sealing The Heavens

“Hu!”

After all, she was the publicly acknowledged big Senior Sister of the Nine Planet Sect. Even though the shock and other mixed emotions in her heart were highly complicated, they only lasted for a moment.

Qi Qingyao immediately realized that she had lost her composure. She quickly let out a long breath and adjusted her posture.

However, even though she had returned to her usual cold and unsmiling attitude, she was still in a daze.

However, if someone familiar were here, they would immediately be able to tell that when Qi Qingyao looked at Li Yang from the side, she no longer had the surprise and suspicion from before.

“Not bad; with your skills, it’s a waste for you to stay in a mere outer sect mountain. No wonder the other disciples are so eager to come here.”

“Senior Sister, you’re too kind. It’s just some means of making a living.”

Li Yang smiled and shook his head. He did not show any other expression because of Qi Qingyao’s praise.

Seeing this, Qi Qingyao didn’t say anything. She looked back at the sky and then turned to Jiang Huanyue, who was still trying to pick out the remaining dishes with chopsticks.

“Junior Sister Jiang, Junior brother’s dishes are extraordinary, but you must also pay attention to your manners. After all, you are also Elder Tianying’s direct disciple, so you must pay attention to the image of the sect when you go out.”

“Alright, Senior Sister. I’ll remember that.”

Hearing Qi Qingyao’s words, Jiang Huanyue didn’t dare to attack anymore. She put down her chopsticks and put on an obedient look.

“You don’t have to be like this. Do you think I don’t know you? Alright, it’s already too late to return to the mountain today, but I’m also responsible for this matter. You can return to the mountain with me, and I’ll explain it to Elder Tianying.”

Qi Qingyao stood up and glanced at Jiang Huanyue. Then, she looked at Li Yang. “Many thanks for Junior Brother’s hospitality today, but you must know that the desire for food is ultimately a small path, and you must cultivate diligently.”

“Senior Sister’s teachings are right; Junior Brother will remember them.”

After leaving Li Yang’s place, Qi Qingyao flew up on her sword and returned to Tianying peak with Jiang Huanyue.

After taking charge of a mountain peak, the Nine Planet Sect’s elders would not care about ordinary affairs but would concentrate on cultivating in seclusion on the mountain to break through.

Elder Tianying was naturally the same. At Elder Tianying’s level of cultivation, it was not something that could be broken through in one or two days of closed-door cultivation.

If there was no suitable opportunity or opportunity to grasp the one-in-a-million comprehension, the process of seeking a breakthrough could only fail.

He had failed to break through again during the day.

He came out of seclusion to check on Jiang Huanyue’s cultivation progress.

However, what Elder Tianying did not expect was …

The sky was getting darker and darker until it was almost midnight, and the moon hung high in the sky.

Only then did his disciple return to Tianying peak with Qi Qingyao.

“Greetings, Elder Tianying.”

“Master,”

The two of them got off the flying sword. Qi Qingyao walked in front and greeted the livid Elder Tianying first. Jiang Huanyue saw her master’s expression and knew things were bad, so she could only hide behind Qi Qingyao and whisper.

“Hmph, you still know that I’m here?

I thought you were too engrossed in playing and forgot your duty!”

Even with Qi Qingyao by his side, Elder Tianying didn’t try to hide anything and started to scold Jiang Huanyue.

In this regard, Qi Qingyao had a look of understanding. As this batch’s Senior Brother Sect leader, Qi Qingyao was naturally very familiar with the various elders of the Nine Planet Sect.

Among all the elders, the one who could leave a deep impression on Qi Qingyao was Elder Tianying.

Elder Tianying’s original name was Yun Tianxiao. Back then, he was one of the top genius disciples in the Nine Planet Sect and one of the personal disciples of the previous Elder Tianying.

There were rumors that Yun Tianxiao’s position as the sect master would have changed if he had not been careless!

After Yun Tianxiao’s cultivation base met the standard, he was immediately given the position of an elder. However, Elder Tianying had not abdicated.

Yun Tianxiao only received the title of an elder and left the Nine Planet Sect to travel. The one who returned before Yun Tianxiao was the one who made a name for himself outside of the Nine Planet Sect. Those more familiar with him would know that Yun Tianxiao was an elder of the Nine Planet Sect. Due to his high cultivation level and the cultivation technique he cultivated, everyone outside addressed Yun Tianxiao as Daoist priest Feng Tian. Thus, she called him elder Fengtian. Of course, Yun Tianxiao could not deny this title. Compared to the so-called sky sealing, Yun Tianxiao valued the ‘Elder Tianying’ title more! “Elder, Junior Sister Jiang didn’t slack off at all. There are other reasons for her late return.”

However, even though she knew Yun Tianxiao’s temper, Qi Qingyao didn’t avoid her responsibility. Seeing that Yun Tianxiao was about to punish Jiang Huanyue, she hurriedly explained.

“Hmph, Qingyao, the elders have high hopes for you. You’ve been diligent in the past, but you must know that a dam a thousand miles long can collapse in an ant’s nest. Even you have to admit your mistakes!

The path of cultivation is full of bumps. Today’s slacking will be an endless, bitter fruit tomorrow! You can cover for Huanyue today, but can you protect her forever?

And you, Huanyue, will you bring your Senior Sister along? Why don’t you learn from your Senior Sister’s diligence in cultivation?” Yun Tianxiao coldly snorted as he looked at Qi Qingyao.

“Elder Tianying’s words are right. I will remember them.”

Qi Qingyao also knew she had made a mistake in today’s matter, so she did not explain much.

“It’s good that you’ve remembered it,”

“Come in with me.”

Qi Qingyao didn’t argue with Yun Tianxiao and just gestured to Jiang Huanyue behind her.

She watched as Yun Tianxiao turned around and walked into his building. Jiang Huanyue was scared, and she pulled Qi Qingyao into the tower.

“Tell me, why did you return so late today?”

Sitting on the futon, Yun Tianxiao’s expression eased up a little.

“Disciple … This disciple’s cultivation has been quite boring, so I went to the hidden Pavilion to see if there were any suitable techniques to change my mood.”

Jiang Huanyue stammered as she thought of a random excuse.

“Junior Sister, the elder is only angry that you came back late.”

“Didn’t you see that the elder only told me to be more alert and didn’t say anything about you? The elder’s temper is like this, his mouth is sharp, but his heart is soft; why do you need to lie?”

Hearing Jiang Huanyue’s answer, Qi Qingdao frowned immediately. After thinking for a while, she used her spiritual energy to send a message.
