Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2176: Chapter 2173: The Past and Today

Edge of the Sect Square.

"Young Master." Yiyi softly called out first.

Xiao Yi glanced at Yiyi and nodded, "Supreme Peak Cultivation, a small progress."

Indeed, Yiyi now possesses Supreme Peak Cultivation.

In comparison to Xiao Yi, she certainly falls far behind.

But compared to other juniors, she is enough to stand aloof from all and is worthy of being called the first hidden genius.

In this generation of juniors, now only Xiao Yi has stepped into the so-called Legend, the Saint Sovereign Realm.

Of course, both Xiao Yi and Dean Huoo know that, in fact, there is another person, more deeply hidden than anyone, Beiyin Wuwei.

"It’s all thanks to Senior Swordswoman’s guidance." Yiyi looked towards Senior Swordswoman and saluted.

Obviously, while Xiao Yi was receiving guidance from Dean Huoo during these days, Senior Swordswoman was also guiding Yiyi.

However, for Xiao Yi to receive guidance, he must comprehend the Martial Arts Dao of the Saint Sovereign Realm before he can leave.

As for Senior Swordswoman, she’s merely doing it out of boredom.

At Yiyi’s current level, the guidance or the lack thereof makes little difference, but of course, it’s better than nothing.

Senior Swordswoman, with hands behind her back, nodded in satisfaction, "This Yiyi girl’s talent is not bad."

"Perhaps not much weaker than you, Xiao Yi boy."

Xiao Yi smiled and nodded.

"Today is the day to leave. Is there anything else you need to do?" Xiao Yi asked Yiyi.

This Holy Moon Sect, he doesn’t want to stay much longer.

This seemingly splendid, rare hidden world is just a ’prettier’ prison.

"No, nothing." Yiyi shook her head softly.

For her, this is the place where she has lived for more than ten years.

Regarding this place, what she has more of, or perhaps it’s complexity.

It’s not that she wasn’t happy.

Here, too, are her respected masters and seniors who adore her.

It’s just that, over these more than ten years, she has lived not the life she wanted, but the life that her caring masters and seniors hoped she would live.

Step by step, day after day, Yiyi lived according to what they thought was best for her.

More than ten years, enough.

In the days to come, Yiyi desires more to follow her young master, to live the life he wishes to live, which, of course, will also be the life she wants.

With the Saint Lord, she has said goodbye.

To her mentor Elder Cang Yue, she has also bid farewell.

In this Holy Moon Sect, there’s nothing worth her staying any longer.

"Then, let’s go." Xiao Yi smiled.

One man, two women, flashed away.

For Xiao Yi, he had bid farewell to the eight Masters of the Main Hall and Dean Huoo.

Thus, he didn’t linger on for any other goodbyes.

Once out of the Holy Moon Sect, directly controlling the air to the edge of this outer world, he can leave this place.

Yiyi paused her steps, turned to look back at the vast sect, then turned away.

Xiao Yi followed her gaze, looked, and then withdrew his gaze.

But just at that moment, in front of the three, an old figure blocked the way.

"Old thing, what are you doing?" Senior Swordswoman discontentedly glanced at the figure.

"Master of the Main Hall..." Xiao Yi’s words reached his mouth, then shook his head, "Senior Luoo."

"Luoo Venerable." Yiyi slightly saluted, a salutation for a senior.

Senior Luoo’s gaze fixed on Xiao Yi, slowly opened his indifferent mouth, "Before you leave, shall we talk once more?"

Luoo, ever domineering and indifferent, surprisingly uttered the words ’shall we’.

Xiao Yi was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Swoosh...

The two figures flashed and appeared atop a distant high mountain.

The outer world of Holy Moon Sect is vast.

Aside from the sect itself located in the central area, surrounding it are high mountains, rivers, lakes, and forests, all present.

This space is no less than a large region.

And for Senior Luoo and Xiao Yi, these distances are but a moment’s span.

Atop the mountain, on the cliff, the two figures appeared but then fell silent again.

The silence seemed to last for a long time.

Senior Luoo continually gazed into the distance.

The desolate breeze swept in, blowing his elegant figure, making his clothes flutter.

This time, instead, Xiao Yi faintly smiled, breaking the silence.

"Master of the Main Hall..." Xiao Yi instinctively addressed, but then shook his head, "I think I should still call you Senior Luoo."

During that half a year acting under the name of Xiao Xun, Xiao Yi always addressed Senior Luoo as Master of the Main Hall, to avoid revealing himself.

But in fact, in Xiao Yi’s impression, and in his heart, he still preferred to call him Senior Luoo.

This senior who first guided him at Black Cloud Academy years ago, leaving an excellent impression.

Just that later, various changes led the two to... perhaps, using the words ’no debts, no regrets’ would be most appropriate.

"Then call me Senior Luoo." At this time, Senior Luoo withdrew his distant gaze and turned to Xiao Yi.

"I also prefer to hear you call me Senior Luoo."

"And what about Senior Luoo?" Xiao Yi smiled, a smile as light as ever, but asked, "Does Senior Luoo prefer to call me Xiao Xun as before, or Xiao Yi little thief?"

"Xiao Yi boy." Senior Luoo said, spitting out the five words.

"Hehe." Xiao Yi chuckled, a bit smugly.

Seeing this smug smile, Senior Luoo showed a slight confusion, "What?"

"Nothing." Xiao Yi shrugged, "It’s just that I once heard Senior Changtian mention certain opinions of Senior Luoo about me, the Xiao Yi little thief."

"And the words that Senior Luoo least wanted to say and the things he least wanted to admit in the past, today were spoken, admitted."

Senior Luoo’s face showed slight displeasure, "Changtian blabs too much, and you have a good rapport with him."

In fact, if it were someone else standing before him instead of Xiao Yi, given Senior Luoo’s character, it wouldn’t just be a slight displeasure showing.

It would be genuine killing intent on display.

For his thoughts to be known by outsiders, Senior Luoo has never tolerated it.

And at this moment, seeing the increasingly smug smile on Xiao Yi’s face, the slight displeasure on Senior Luoo’s face quickly turned into a hint of helplessness and faint anger.

"Ah." Senior Luoo, still sighed.

"As Changtian told you, back then, to this Sword Dao demon, I harbored no dissatisfaction."

"In fact, I was incredibly pleased with you."

"Your excellence makes any old-timer envious of you."

"And you, such an interesting boy, always make many feel pleased, can’t help but treat you extremely well."

"Treat me extremely well?" Xiao Yi teased with a smile, questioning back.

Senior Luoo knew what Xiao Yi referred to, giving him a sidelong glance.

"Phew." Senior Luoo took a deep breath, gazing into the distance again, "All I can say is, the world is unpredictable."

"The boy I was most unwilling to acknowledge his brilliance, even repeatedly oppressed, and had even moved to murderous intent against."

"Today, however, stands alongside me, accompanying me as I watch the vast world."

"Even, unknowingly, this boy has become the only one I care about now."

Atop the high mountain, the Gang Wind was desolate and bleak.

Senior Luoo returned his gaze, staring at Xiao Yi.
