Chapter 70: Chapter 59: Ruan Xiuxiu’s Thoughts Exposed, Xu Nian: You Two Are Quite a Match.

"Black Mountain Guardian..."

"I didn’t expect that in such a short time, you would grow to such an extent."

"It’s a pity that the Lord Guardian made a wasted trip."

"Our master has gone to Tongye State, and the junior brother who entered the ’Green Blood Red Heart Pool’ with you, Tantai Ye, also carries a token from ’Fumo Temple,’ heading to ’Three Hundred Vajra Halls,’ hoping to join through the Demon Suppression Festival and avenge the flood dragon."

"I’m the only one left to guard this small land, ensuring that when they return, they won’t find themselves without a home."

Xu Nian nodded slightly to the Scarlet Guard before her.

With respectful courtesy, mixed with a hint of distance.

Just like when Song Chai Xin first saw Xu Nian, the woman seemed to wear a mask.

Or rather, she donned this mask in front of everyone.

Even for those buried deep in her heart, it was the same.

"Elder Tantai has traveled long distances to Tongye State, doesn’t Miss Xu regret not going with him?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Lifting the tea to take a sip, Song Chai Xin suddenly asked.

Xu Nian paused upon hearing this, then couldn’t help but smile:

"He’s on a quest for the Dao, what’s the point of me going with him?"

"I have just opened the Yellow Court, while the young Lord Guardian has already reached Vajra Perfection, and will soon surpass me."

"Mind you, I’m roughly of your mother’s generation, and I can’t even catch up with your pace, so why travel such distances for nothing?"

"To be a burden?"

Xu Nian adjusted her hairpin, her brows like distant mountains, gazing at the sunflowers on the hill just taking shape:

"Moreover,"

"what role would I assume to accompany him to Tongye State?"

"Makes no sense."

"He feels guilty to Zither Sword Pavilion,"

"I’ll guard this ’guilt,’ taking care of his last memories here in Baoping State, Wutong Prefecture."

"It’s quite good."

Upon hearing about guilt.

Song Chai Xin’s heart twinged.

Because of Xie Wei’s matter, Tantai Yao got involved with the commotion at Xuanqing Lake, which affected Zither Sword Pavilion.

While he practiced at Zither Sword Pavilion, he took away the legacy left by Baiyujing Capital’s Yang Xiu, which led to the Master of Baoping State, considering the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall and the Great Demon Hunter Master, giving him a promise.

All these responsibilities were intertwined.

Originally entangled with him, yet in the end others bore the burden, while he reaped the benefits.

If one speaks of guilt, he too carries some.

Now as a Seventh-Grade Guardian, since he cannot invite Tantai Yao, he might as well aid Zither Sword Pavilion in expanding its influence under his watch, which would be beneficial.

After all, Song Chai Xin has no bad impression of Xu Nian.

Still, the sentiment remains that he never met Xie Wei, only heard of her presence as his biological mother, but if emotions are involved...

Perhaps existent, yet sparse.

Therefore, he is even less involved in the entanglements of the older generation.

Xu Nian is his mother’s rival in love.

She’s irrelevant to him.

Thus, Song Chai Xin deliberated before speaking:

"Since Elder Tantai and Tantai Ye are absent from Zither Sword Pavilion, and Miss Xu has succeeded as Pavilion Master, it may be challenging to support it alone."

"If you are willing, you could accept a disciple, or dispatch disciples to establish a branch at Black Mountain, whether martial arts halls or schools, to select disciples and pass on the lineage."

"Once I’ve established myself, given the relationship between our families, Song Chai Xin will not treat Zither Sword Pavilion unfairly."

"When Elder Tantai returns, I will have a reasonable account."

"Though I am of Half-Demon lineage, I am not one to forget kindness."

Major sects, at authentic levels and above, annually attract many to seek apprenticeship.

But most disciples wouldn’t travel miles to seek admission on their own.

Thus, whether authentic or prestigious, branches are established in major cities or even prefecture cities to observe and train disciples.

Taking Dao Lineage level forces, such as the Fumo Temple that Tantai Ye intended to join, as an example.

Esteemed as a Jianghu power with a fourth-step guardian.

Yet they still set up ’Three Hundred Vajra Halls’ throughout Great Zhao, and often send leaders to seek those with destiny like Tantai Ye’s father, imparting half of a scripture.

Celestial Prides seeking doors are ultimately few.

After all, good wine fears a hidden alley.

Due to Zither Sword Pavilion’s fall from grace, with former Pavilion Master Shangguan Cheng deceased,

external relations were severed substantially.

By the time Xu Nian took over, the original few branches in Wutong Prefecture had long dispersed, completely absorbed by other influential forces, this is reality.

Others wouldn’t care about one’s dire circumstances.

People in the world of martial arts only speak of fists and ’reason.’

Yet exceptions always exist.

Xu Nian seemed surprised that Zither Sword Pavilion, even in its current state, could still earn a promise from this illustrious Black Mountain Guardian, whose future seems boundless.

For a moment, her eyes grew warmer:

"If that’s possible, on behalf of Zither Sword Pavilion, Xu Nian thanks the Lord Guardian."

After all, she is Pavilion Master,

If she could secure a position to ’establish a sect’ in a major city, protected by a Guardian, even sending a Foundation Establishment disciple might attract fresh blood.

Preventing Zither Sword Pavilion, after its decline, from falling into complete obscurity.

"It’s only right."

"With our visit complete, it’s time to hurry to Black Mountain to organize governance and take office."

Song Chai Xin smiled in agreement, ready to rise.

This trip didn’t find the person he sought, yet a promise was made.
