If it's taken as a good intention, that's fine. But if good intentions are taken for granted…

"I should leave early."

Just as Long Wuxian was about to leave, the door behind her suddenly creaked open.

"Is it another confession? I've told you, I have no interest in boys like you… Uh…"

When she saw Long Wuxian standing at the door of her room, she was stunned.

"Hi, hi!" Long Wuxian forced a stiff smile on his face. "Um… the reason I came this time is to…"

"I already know!!!"

"Know?"

"Hmph!"

Bei Luoyu snorted in anger.

"You scum like you, just came to pick up your things, right? Let me tell you, even if I die, I won't let you…"

"No, no, no!"

Seeing Bei Luoyu about to commit suicide, Long Wuxian rushed forward to stop her.

"I didn't mean to insult you! Miss Bei, I only came to deliver the medicine this time. I went too far before, so…"

So! Long Wuxian still hoped to try to make amends. If he disturbed the Lord of the North City, he really would have nowhere to bury himself.

In fact, not to mention the Lord of the North City now, even if Bei Luoyu's brother, Lord Beifengxi, came, Long Wuxian wouldn't stand a chance at all.

Fortunately, Lord Beifengxi was just protective of his sister, and he knew the bigger picture. Since Long Wuxian had won the competition fair and square, there was nothing more to be said.

"I'll tell you, one day I will reclaim today's humiliation, whether by sneak attack or direct confrontation!"

Saying this, Bei Luoyu was about to attack Long Wuxian, but he easily dodged.

What's going on, are Misses from the Bei family all this stubborn? Long Wuxian was a bit puzzled, feeling that the two sisters were nothing like their brother, Lord Beifengxi, who was much more stable.

Forget it! Long Wuxian thought, this training was so important, presumably the Bei family wouldn't choose to act now, right?

The next day, in Long Wuxian's courtyard.

"Feiyue, Senior Sister was right. You have to be careful this time."

Long Wuxian emphasized.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. This training is very important to me, and I will cherish it."

Feiyue smiled.

At that moment, a gust of wind blew, and then an old man descended from the sky, landing directly in the courtyard.

The old man looked a little old, wearing a light blue robe, his face glowing as if bathed in spring breeze, with a slight beard at the corner of his mouth, appearing calm and composed.

Long Wuxian's gaze fell on the old man and found that his cultivation was quite strong, in the later stage of Sage Emperor Realm, much stronger than Bai Kui, showcasing his status within the Qi Gate.

"The youngsters here are quite leisurely."

The old man smiled, seemingly unaffected.

Hanyu and Feiyue, upon seeing the newcomer, changed their expressions slightly, quickly standing up from their seats and bowing deeply to the old man.

"Greetings, Master Wind."

The two said with great respect.

Then, Hanyu turned to Long Wuxian and said, "Junior Brother, this is Master Wind, the most powerful Illusionist Grandmaster in the Qi Gate!"

Illusionist Grandmaster?!

Long Wuxian didn't dare to be negligent, as he was now a disciple of the Qi Gate. He had to show respect to the elder, and he did not sense any malice from Master Wind.

"Disciple Long Wuxian, pays respects to Master Wind."

Long Wuxian greeted respectfully.

"Well… not bad, a true young talent! To be able to stay in the mountains behind our Qi Gate for three days, unharmed, and even improve your cultivation, no wonder the sect leader wants to meet you in person."

Master Wind praised Long Wuxian continuously.

"Master Wind, do you mean… the sect leader wants to see Junior Brother?"

Hanyu was stunned.

"Of course, you think I came here in person for fun? Long Wuxian, get ready and follow me to meet the sect leader."

Master Wind said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Hanyu and Feiyue exchanged glances, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

In the Qi Gate, it was very rare for a disciple to be personally summoned by the sect leader, let alone an outer disciple. Long Wuxian could be said to be the first!

Being summoned by the sect leader was an honor in itself, indicating the sect leader's high regard for the disciple.

And at this moment, in the hearts of Hanyu and Feiyue, it was even more of an honor that Master Wind, one of the top two guardians of the Qi Gate, would personally escort Long Wuxian. His strength at the later stage of the Sage Emperor Realm, combined with his status as an Illusionist Grandmaster, indicated his position in the sect was almost comparable to the great elders and the sect leader of the Sage Emperor Realm.

Moreover, Master Wind was reclusive by nature and rarely interacted with the elders in the Elders' Hall, making his appearance in front of disciples extremely rare.

So, his personal escort of Long Wuxian today was indeed a miracle, and it indicated that the genius Long Wuxian had already caught the attention and interest of Master Wind.

"Junior Brother, you are so lucky to receive such treatment. If you can establish a good relationship with Master Wind, you will benefit greatly in the Qi Gate in the future. Of course, due to Master Wind's status as an Illusionist Grandmaster, one of the top Illusionists in the Southern Domain, even the Lord Beifengxi respects him. If you follow Master Wind, not only Bai Kui, but even if the sect leader himself were to show up, he wouldn't dare to touch you!"

Hanyu used soul power to transmit his message to Long Wuxian, reminding him to seize the opportunity and build a relationship with Master Wind.

But Long Wuxian just smiled and did not pay attention to Hanyu's words.

Long Wuxian made friends based on personal preference and would never purposely curry favor with anyone.

"Let's go, then, Master."

Long Wuxian's face still wore a simple smile as they headed to meet the sect leader. Despite the excitement of meeting the sect leader, there was no hint of it on his face.

This calm demeanor caught Master Wind by surprise, but it also made him appreciate the young man even more.

After all, a young man with such a calm disposition was too rare, and coupled with his extraordinary talent, his future achievements were boundless.

Though Master Wind did not show it on the surface, he was already pleased in his heart. This time, his visit was not in vain. He now had to return to his mountain as there were still medicines to be refined in the Illusionist Furnace.

Long Wuxian looked up at the Qi Temple, resembling a pavilion in the mountains, and then pushed the door and entered.

In the vast palace hall, a middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, his sharp eyes fixed on Long Wuxian as he entered.

Long Wuxian suddenly looked up, and their eyes met.

The man in front of him appeared to be middle-aged, similar to his own father. He was dressed in a plain grey long shirt, with an exceptionally calm demeanor. His face was sharply defined, exuding a sense of heroism between his eyebrows. Standing there, he gave off a aura of majesty without anger.

Even more importantly was his cultivation, which had already reached the terrifying peak of the Holy Emperor realm. This man was likely the highest-level existence in the Southern Region.

Long Wuxian knew in his heart that the middle-aged man before him was the head of the Yi Qi Sect—Heng Chi!
