Chapter 565: Chapter 564: Getting Stronger and Stronger
"Master!" Liu Zheng arrived at a courtyard and, looking at the yard in front of him, he spoke.
"What are you here for?" As soon as Liu Zheng’s voice sounded, an elder around seventy or eighty years old slowly walked out.
This elder was Liu Zheng’s master. When he was cultivating in the Tianxuan Sect, he followed his master and entered the Divine Sword Gate together.
Over the years, Liu Zheng’s strength had grown stronger and stronger, yet his master’s strength had not increased by the slightest, and he was getting progressively weaker with age.
"Master, I have an important matter to discuss with you and hope you will listen to my explanation..."
"What is it that you want to say?"
"It’s about... Bai Ling."
"Oh? Did she do something wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but sigh and said, "Master, I wish to take you as my master..."
No sooner had Liu Zheng’s voice fallen than he saw his master freeze.
A flash of astonishment crossed the master’s face.
"Disciple, do you know what you are saying?"
"I do, Master. I’m serious. I hope that you will accept me as your disciple!"
"Do you really understand what you are saying?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng firmly nodded his head, "I do, I clearly understand what I’m saying! I don’t want to register any regrets in the future, so I hope the master will agree to my request and take me as your disciple!"
"You really want this?"
"Yes!"
"Alright! Since you want to take me as your master, then give your respects as a disciple!" After saying this, the elder took out a token from his waist.
Liu Zheng was taken aback upon seeing this. Wasn’t that the Tianxuan Sect Master’s Token?
He had not expected that his master would actually give it to him.
"Disciple Liu Zheng, greets the Ancestral Master..." Upon seeing this, Liu Zheng immediately performed the salutation.
"Good, from now on, you are a part of our Tianxuan Sect. I hope you cultivate diligently, strive to set foot on the immortal path soon, and bring glory to our Tianxuan Sect in the future..." The elder spoke after seeing Liu Zheng performing the salutation.
"Rest assured, Ancestral Master. I will cultivate diligently, honor you, and elevate the name of our Tianxuan Sect!" Liu Zheng assured as he spoke.
"Very well, I will also pass down to you the Sect’s Treasured Qingyang Sword..."
Upon hearing these words, Liu Zheng was stunned.
The Ancestral Master was actually passing the Sect’s Treasured Qingyang Sword to him?
This was illogical!
"However, although the Qingyang Sword is powerful, I have placed it inside a storage ring. You must find the opportunity to take it out for use, or else... you will be backlashed, and you may even lose your life!" the elder said.
"I understand..." Liu Zheng replied upon hearing this.
"Master, this sword is known as the Qingyang Sword, a supreme immortal treasure... But this sword is the most precious heirloom my master left for me... I hope you will agree to let me take it out after I break through the immortal rank to use it..."
Seeing his master remain silent, Liu Zheng added.
"Alright, you may take it..." the elder said, waving his hand upon hearing this.
After hearing his master’s consent, Liu Zheng did not hesitate and walked out of the house. He then came beside Bai Ling, picked her up horizontally, and rushed to the bedroom.
After Liu Zheng left, the elder looked at Liu Zheng’s retreating figure, murmuring to himself, "The heart of this disciple is indeed unlike any other... Truly worthy of being the heir of our Tianxuan Sect..."
...
The next day.
Liu Zheng opened his eyes and realized that a familiar silhouette was sitting by the bed.
Seeing Bai Ling, Liu Zheng frowned and said, "Why are you here? Hurry up and leave!"
"Yun Ting, I...last night, I finally understood!" Bai Ling, seeing Liu Zheng apparently unwilling to see her anymore, couldn’t help but lower her head slightly and say in a quiet voice.
"Understood? Then just continue to stay here!"
Seeing Bai Ling not leaving, Liu Zheng spoke coldly.
"Yun Ting..." Bai Ling, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but lift her head, revealing a face full of hope.
"I know you like me, I also know you want to marry me, but it’s impossible..."
"We’re not suitable!" Liu Zheng, seeing Bai Ling’s expression, couldn’t help but say coldly.
"I know we’re not suitable, so I wasn’t planning to marry you..."
"Then what are you here for?" Liu Zheng, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but glare at Bai Ling and ask.
"You...don’t get agitated! I just have some things to discuss with you..." Bai Ling, seeing his reaction, hurriedly said.
Liu Zheng, upon hearing this, let out a cold snort and turned away.
"Yun Ting, listen to me..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng let out a cold snort.
"These past days, I’ve thought it over carefully. The difference in our status is far too great. You’re not someone I can control, and I...don’t want to marry you either..." Bai Ling, seeing his reaction, couldn’t help but sigh as she spoke.
Liu Zheng, upon hearing these words, frowned.
Then, seeing Bai Ling pause, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but ask, "So what exactly do you want to say?"
"These past few days, I’ve been thinking, it seems we are destined to have a connection without a shared future, and I don’t wish to waste my years like this, so I plan to leave..." Bai Ling, seeing that Liu Zheng seemed somewhat unhappy, quickly said.
"What? You’re leaving? Where will you go?" Liu Zheng, upon hearing this, was shocked.
"Of course, to find a man I like and who likes me..." Bai Ling said, and with that, playfully blinked her beautiful eyes.
"Who do you like?" Liu Zheng, seeing this, couldn’t help but quickly ask.
"I like Yun Ting..."
Liu Zheng, seeing this, couldn’t help but widen his eyes, disbelievingly saying, "You..."
"I know I’m not worthy of you...but I really do like you..."
"I know I’m not worthy of you, but I really like you very much...I want to be with you..." Bai Ling, seeing Liu Zheng’s reaction, couldn’t help but feel a little shy, and hurriedly said.
Upon hearing these words, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
This woman, is she really causing such a fuss?
No...this absolutely cannot happen...
Thinking this, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but say, "You can’t joke about this kind of thing, I cannot accept you..."
"How do you know I’m joking? I truly like you..." Bai Ling, seeing Liu Zheng’s attitude still so firm, couldn’t help but say anxiously.
"I..."
"If you don’t like me, why were you so tender with me last night?"
"That was to save you..."
Liu Zheng, seeing Bai Ling’s disbelieving look, couldn’t help but become anxious.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ling couldn’t help but pout and say, "Yun Ting, no matter what you say, I’m not going to leave you, and you can’t get rid of me..."
"Bai Ling, I’m telling you, if you dare to make a fuss again, I won’t be nice!" Liu Zheng, seeing her thus, couldn’t help but shout angrily.
"Yun Ting, I...do you really want it this way?" Bai Ling, seeing this, couldn’t help but bite her lip, looking wronged as she spoke.
"If you dare to mess around again, I will kill you!" Liu Zheng, seeing Bai Ling’s tearful look, couldn’t help but speak coldly.
"Hmph! I’m not leaving! What can you do about it?" Bai Ling, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but snort coldly and say.
"I will make you leave!" Liu Zheng let out a cold snort and then prepared to get out of bed, but unexpectedly a severe pain spread throughout his body in an instant.
