After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 417 Touring the Heavenly Sword

When Shen Xu brought Yang Qiqi back to the room, he found that the atmosphere seemed a bit strange. Why was no one talking?

"Senior Brother Lu, I heard from Qiqi that you and Miss Qin have been taking care of them all this time."

I feel a little ashamed now, since I had promised to show them around Heavenly Sword City.

"Junior Brother Shen, there's no need to feel guilty. This is what I should do. I believe you must have had an urgent matter that delayed you."

"If you really feel guilty, senior brother, bring us some gifts next time you come back to make it up to us!" Yang Qiqi suggested with a smile.

Upon hearing Yang Qiqi's words, Lu Qingqing and Jiang Yun were moved.

"Of course!" Shen Xu readily agreed.

"Senior Brother Shen, we are about to leave Heavenly Sword City. I have one more request, I wonder if it would be alright?"

"You said."

"Um, could you take me to see Tianjian Mountain?" Yang Qiqi asked tentatively.

“This…” Shen Xu looked at Guan Bi with a questioning gaze.

"According to regulations, outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave Tianjian Mountain at will, especially during this special period."

If you want to bring outsiders into Tianjian Mountain, you need to apply to the General Affairs Hall, and the process is a bit complicated.

However, if we don't go through the mountain gate and the teleportation array, due to our low strength and the concealment of our identity jade tokens, the enforcement disciples are very likely to not notice us.

"Does Miss Guan mean to take Qiqi directly into Tianjian Mountain? Does Miss Guan also have a flying shuttle?" Lu Qingshan couldn't help but ask.

"No, but someone has that ability. Shen Xu only broke through to the Qi Sea Realm today," Guan Bi said with a smile.

The others stared at Shen Xu in shock, and the room fell silent for a moment.

"Junior Brother Shen's talent is astonishing and truly admirable," Lu Qingshan couldn't help but exclaim.

Qin Qing looked at Shen Xu in front of her and put away all her previous contemptuous thoughts.

"It's just a matter of luck, and breaking through too quickly isn't necessarily a good thing. Accumulating knowledge and experience before unleashing it is the right path of cultivation," Shen Xu said earnestly.

"I didn't expect that in just over a year, Senior Brother Shen, you would already be a Qi Sea Realm cultivator. I thought I had caught up with you!" Yang Qiqi looked at the scenery below from the flying light and couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

"I already said it was all luck. With your talent, Qiqi, you'll definitely surpass me soon," Shen Xu said with a hint of helplessness.

“You said the same thing in your last letter to me,” Yang Qiqi couldn’t help but purse her lips.

"Don't try to surpass me too quickly just because you want to."

"I broke through so quickly because of some special reasons; otherwise, I would have preferred to settle down in the Qi Condensation Realm for a while," Shen Xu earnestly advised.

Even if Yang Qiqi cultivates faster, it won't help the overall situation. It would be better for her to cultivate step by step, which might lead to greater potential for future growth.

In his past life, he failed to save anyone; in this life, he at least cannot let Yang Qiqi repeat the mistakes of her past life.

"Don't worry, even if I wanted to break through, I couldn't possibly be faster than you, Senior Brother!" Yang Qiqi replied perfunctorily, her eyes fixed on the magnificent scenery of Tianjian Mountain.

“Qiqi, you are very talented. You shouldn’t waste your time in the Green Bamboo Mountains,” Guanbi suddenly said.

"If a sect wants to grow, someone always has to make sacrifices."

"Besides, with the existence of our founder, the Green Bamboo Sword Sect can't be considered to have buried my talent," Yang Qiqi said with a smile.

"Was your ancestor's cultivation very high?" Guan Bi asked with some curiosity.

“Three hundred years ago, when our ancestor crossed the Thunder Sea, he encountered a spatial rift and fell into the Green Bamboo Mountains. What do you think his cultivation level was?” Shen Xu replied with a smile.

"Why would someone like that establish a small sect in Ningzhou?"

"The Green Bamboo Sword Sect was not founded by the founder, but by two disciples he took in during the Green Bamboo Mountain Range."

After using his great supernatural powers to alter the distribution of vital energy in the Green Bamboo Mountains, he vanished without a trace. No one knows where he went; perhaps he has already returned to the Central Plains.

"There really are such selfless saints in the world," Guan Bi murmured to himself.

"Perhaps! After all, if I become a saint in the future, I will definitely be a good saint like the patriarch." Shen Xu said to the two of them very seriously.

"I believe in my senior brother!" Yang Qiqi replied with a smile.

"He really knows how to flatter himself. I don't know if he's a good saint, but he's definitely a shameless one," Guan Bi teased.

"Shen Xu, what are your plans for the future?" Guan Bi suddenly asked.

"It's said that materials for Core Formation that cultivators find themselves are more likely to be favored by the Heavenly Dao. After I finish what I'm doing, I want to go out and take a look."

The Four Directions Sword Alliance is so big, it could keep me exploring for quite some time.

Are you alone?

"What, do you want to come with me? Not stay by your young lady's side anymore?" Shen Xu asked with a smile.

"That's a nice thought, but if possible, I'd really like to go out and see the world with you." Guan Bi's tone was somewhat regretful.

"Don't worry, there will be opportunities." Shen Xu thought of the Hundred Flowers Festival, wondering if Guan Bi would believe Bai Lu's words.

"I also want to go out and see the world, but my master is very likely to disagree."

"That's because you're too weak. Once you break through to the Qi Sea Realm, even if the sect leader wanted to stop you, he probably wouldn't have the strength."

"At that time, no one would dare to oppose you in whatever you wanted to do with the Green Bamboo Sword Sect."

"Now that you've said that, I'm even more eager to break through to the Qi Sea Realm, what should I do?"

"That means you're not mature enough. A mature cultivator must carefully consider every decision before making it..."

"If you feel the time is right, you can break through to the Qi Sea Realm. There's no need for so many twists and turns."

Don't listen to Shen Xu's nonsense. He hasn't even figured out his own path of cultivation, so what right does he have to teach you!

Guan Bi rudely interrupted Shen Xu's feigned profundity.

"Your sister Guan is right, just wait until the time is right." Shen Xu smiled awkwardly.

Seeing Shen Xu's expression, Yang Qiqi couldn't help but feel a little envious of Guan Bi. She also wanted to talk to Senior Brother Shen like that, without having to worry about anything.

"By the way, Qiqi, is there anywhere you'd like to go?" Shen Xu asked.

"I don't know either. Does Sister Guan have any recommendations?"

Without even thinking, she knew that asking Shen Xu would be pointless.

"Most areas of Tianjian Mountain are not open to outsiders, so even if we can bring you in, Qiqi, we can only let you see the scenery of Tianjian Mountain."

"May I go and take a look at where Senior Brother Shen is staying?"

"Uh... of course, I happen to be living with your sister Bai right now, let me take you to say goodbye to her!"

"Senior Brother Shen is living with Sister Bai now!!" Yang Qiqi suddenly felt a surge of inexplicable emotions welling up in her heart, making her feel very uncomfortable.

"Qiqi, don't get the wrong idea. What I mean is that we live in the same area. You can ask Guanbi if you don't believe me," Shen Xu quickly explained.

"Yes, it's true what Shen Xu said. We live with him," Guan Bi said with a light laugh.

"Oh? Sister Guan, you're living with Senior Brother Shen too!"

Shen Xu took a deep breath and then slowly said, "Things aren't as you imagine. I'll take you there and you'll see."
