After being reborn, the cannon fodder junior sister quickly left the sect.

Chapter 137 Shuqiu Pavilion

Not only Su Luo and her group, but everyone from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect also noticed that someone was approaching, and they all stared into the distance.

As they got closer, Su Luo could see the group more clearly. They were all dressed in moon-white sect robes with gold trim, and they carried all sorts of magical treasures in their hands. It seemed that they relied on these treasures to resist the cold, and they were obviously not short of money.

The young man leading the group was elegant and handsome, with a warm smile that made people feel good even in the cold wind. He was leading a group of people toward them.

Su Luo narrowed her eyes, feeling as if she had seen the other person somewhere before.

Chu Wenqing instinctively exclaimed, "Holy crap! We actually ran into people from Shuqiu Pavilion!"

He then subconsciously looked at Feng Xiyue, who showed no unusual reaction, only a hint of surprise. "How could it be him?"

Song Qiao also sat up straight, looking as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

Su Luo caught the name "Shuqiu Pavilion" and suddenly realized that the leading boy was none other than Bai Jinyan, the senior brother of Shuqiu Pavilion. She did not notice the abnormality of Chu Wenqing and the others for a moment.

Bai Jinyan was born into a family of cultivators. Before he was even ten years old, he was taken in as the chief disciple by the Grand Elder of Shuqiu Pavilion due to his extraordinary talent. Later, he stood out among all the sword cultivators because of his outstanding swordsmanship and gentle personality. Eventually, he even became the second-best sword cultivator among the younger generation after Gu Changhuai, with a reputation comparable to Gu Changhuai's, and gained countless fans.

If Gu Changhuai is as cold as winter, then Bai Jinyan is as gentle as spring.

He appears multiple times in the novel; as a supporting character, he is just as brilliant as the protagonist. Unfortunately, he too perished on the battlefield, his remains never recovered.

Su Luo had some recollection of him, but not much. In her previous life, Bai Jinyan had asked her for directions. However, the fake female lead, "Ning Wanshuang," was keeping a close eye on her back then, and Su Luo barely managed to answer a couple of questions before he dragged her away.

After leaving, the fake "Ning Wanshuang" warned her to stay away from Bai Jinyan, saying he was pretentious and fake. Su Luo didn't pay any attention at the time, treating it as just a passing incident and forgetting about it.

Unexpectedly, they met again in this life.

At this moment, Bai Jinyan had already led a group of Shuqiu Pavilion disciples to a spot not far from them. He casually glanced around at everyone, his gaze lingering almost imperceptibly on Feng Xi before shifting his gaze and greeting Gu Changhuai with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, what a coincidence that our two sects would meet in this Xuanbing Realm."

Gu Changhuai nodded indifferently.

He's always been like this, so Bai Jinyan didn't mind. Then Bai Jinyan greeted the other members of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

The disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect all had a fairly good impression of Bai Jinyan. Many of the female disciples even stared at Bai Jinyan's otherworldly face with shy expressions. Among them was Ning Wanshuang.

She truly hadn't expected that Bai Jinyan, who was ranked lower than Gu Changhuai in the novel, would be so handsome! Every move he made was elegant and dignified, with an extraordinary temperament; he clearly came from a prominent family.

Feeling Ning Wanshuang's overly intense gaze, Bai Jinyan subconsciously looked over, then revealed a gentle smile, "And who is this?"

Ning Wanshuang's eyes lit up, and she quickly spoke up, "I, I am Ning Wanshuang from Tianyi Sect. Fellow Daoist Bai, I have long admired your name."

"So it's Fellow Daoist Ning..." Bai Jinyan was somewhat surprised.

Ning Wanshuang had always worn a veil when meeting people and rarely appeared in public, so Bai Jinyan didn't recognize her immediately.

"Why is Fellow Daoist Ning here all alone?"

Isn't she the darling of the Tianyi Sect? How come she's in the Wanjian Sect's team?

Ning Wanshuang became somewhat somber when this was mentioned.

Bai Xun glanced at her and explained, "Fellow Daoist Ning got separated from the people of Tianyi Sect, so she came with us to train."

"I see."

Bai Jinyan smiled and comforted her, "Fellow Daoist Ning, you don't need to worry about the disciples of Tianyi Sect. Before I left the Void Illusion, I met Fellow Daoist Ye and Fellow Daoist Qin. They are both doing well."

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Wanshuang's eyes immediately lit up with surprise. Overjoyed, she grabbed Bai Jinyan's sleeve, looked up, and revealed a pitiful yet exquisitely beautiful face.

"Are my senior brothers really... all very good?"

Bai Jinyan glanced at the sleeve that was being tugged, and the corner of his mouth fell slightly. "At least when I met them, they were fine, and they were still searching for Fellow Daoist Ning. However, I don't know if they can come to this Profound Ice Realm after leaving the Void Illusion Realm..."

"As long as they're safe, that's all that matters! I... I'll take good care of myself! The secret realm is so vast, we'll meet again someday..."

As she spoke, Ning Wanshuang let out a long sigh and revealed a resilient smile. If the disciples of Tianyi Sect saw this, they would surely be heartbroken beyond measure.

"Then I wish Fellow Daoist Ning a speedy reunion with Fellow Daoist Ye and the others."

Bai Jinyan smiled, then pulled out his sleeve and took a few steps back. He turned to look at Feng Xiyue not far away, walked over with a smile, and greeted her: "Fellow Daoist Feng, what a coincidence, it's been a long time since we last met."

Feng Xiyue was particularly unaccustomed to Bai Jinyan's behavior. She nodded casually and said perfunctorily, "Yes, it has indeed been a long time."

The last time we met was a year ago at our family's house, when we had a bit of a falling out. I didn't expect that after so long, he'd be all smiles again, as if he'd completely forgotten what happened before.

That's right, the Feng Xiyue and Bai Jinyan families are old friends, and the two have known each other since childhood, but their relationship has never been very good.

Bai Jinyan's smile remained unchanged. He quickly glanced at Su Luo, whose face he didn't recognize, and then turned his gaze to Chu Wenqing and Song Qiao beside Feng Xiyue. He raised an eyebrow and his eyes were deep.

"Fellow Daoist Chu and Fellow Daoist Song, it's been a long time."

Out of politeness, Song Qiao awkwardly replied, "Long time no see."

Chu Wenqing simply said "Oh," then crossed her arms, turned her head away, and looked like she didn't really want to talk to him.

Su Luo: ……

Although she knew that Shuqiu Pavilion and Lingxiao Sect had a bad relationship, and that Shuqiu Pavilion had been eyeing the position of the four major sects and wanted to kick Lingxiao Sect down, Chu Wenqing's courage to embarrass Bai Jinyan in front of so many people was commendable!

As expected, seeing how disrespectful Chu Wenqing was, the other Shuqiu Pavilion disciples standing behind Bai Jinyan were all unhappy.

"Chu Wenqing, what do you mean? Our senior brother was just being kind and greeting you, what kind of attitude is this?!"

"That's so rude!"

"Yes! As expected, the people of the Lingxiao Sect have no manners! No wonder they were kicked out of the four major sects!"

Some Wanjian Sect disciples couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward, ready to speak up for Chu Wenqing.

Although Chu Wenqing's attitude wasn't very good, weren't the people from Shuqiu Pavilion too harsh? They actually said that Lingxiao Sect would be kicked out of the list of the four major sects!

Before they could even speak, Chu Wenqing jumped up like a firecracker, shouting aggressively, "What did you just say? Say it again if you dare!"

You can criticize them! But you absolutely cannot criticize the Lingxiao Sect!

Feng Xiyue and Song Qiao's faces also darkened instantly.

When the disciples were about to argue back, Bai Jinyan finally spoke up, gently scolding, "Shut up, don't talk nonsense!"

Upon hearing their senior brother's words, the others fell silent, but all looked indignant.

Seemingly feeling helpless, Bai Jinyan sighed before looking at Chu Wenqing and saying, "Fellow Daoist Chu, my junior brothers and sisters are still young and ignorant, and they like to talk nonsense. Please don't take it to heart."

Chu Wenqing: "Hehe."

Do you think he's stupid? Without Bai Jinyan's leniency, would these disciples dare to say such things? That cunning, squinty-eyed guy just knows how to smooth things over and play the good guy!

Su Luo watched all of this unfold and suddenly felt that something was amiss.

Chu Wenqing was always a bit dim-witted, and this was the first time he had so openly disliked someone. But Bai Jinyan was a very good person, and his reputation was excellent. Why would Chu Wenqing dislike him?

I'll ask her when I have time!

Fearing that the two sides would continue arguing, Bai Xun quickly stepped in to smooth things over, changed the subject, and told Chu Wenqing that they had already reached an agreement.

As expected, Chu Wenqing's attention was immediately diverted. He stopped paying attention to the people from Shuqiu Pavilion and said happily, "Senior Sister, we have work to do. Let's get busy!"

Feng Xiyue nodded, took out paper and pen, and followed Bai Xun to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect while taking notes.

Chu Wenqing then moved closer to Feng Xiyue, watching her take notes.

Bai Jinyan's smile froze slightly as he stared intently at the two of them.

After a long pause, he finally couldn't help but speak up: "Fellow Daoist Feng, your junior brother is still the same as ever, he still likes to stick by your side so much..."

Su Luo: ……

Hmm, why does that sound a bit sarcastic?

Over there, Feng Xiyue was so busy that she didn't even look up. Upon hearing Bai Jinyan's words, she replied without hesitation, "My junior brother, where else can he go if he doesn't stay by my side?"

Chu Wenqing stuck out his tongue smugly.

"Crack!"

Su Luo swore that after Feng Xiyue finished speaking, she clearly saw Bai Jinyan, who was usually very good-tempered, crush the magic weapon in his hand with a smile on his face.

It really was crushed like that.
