Within the Sword Tomb, Nameless disappeared.
Heavenly Sword Peak returned to its original appearance.
Since the Legacy had been determined, the Sword Tomb would naturally be sealed once more.
Ji Qingyi, Yan Rumeng, and Situ Xue entered.
They saw Ye Guchen and Jun Xiaoyao.
"Qingyi is here to congratulate Young Master Jun and Young Master Ye," Ji Qingyi said with a slight smile.
Jun Xiaoyao and Ye Guchen both nodded slightly.
"Jun Xiaoyao, what are your plans next?" Yan Rumeng asked.
Jun Xiaoyao pondered for a moment and said, "I might temporarily stay in the Sword Tomb."
Firstly, after becoming a person of the Sword Tomb, Jun Xiaoyao could freely enter and exit the Sword Tomb.
Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao could freely comprehend the various Sword Dao Legacies within the Sword Tomb.
Secondly, with Ye Guchen here, he could often spar with Ye Guchen and make progress together.
Of course, Jun Xiaoyao would not stay in the Sword Tomb for too long.
Afterward, he still had to return to the Immortal Domain to fulfill his promise and hold the engagement banquet.
"Is that so?" Yan Rumeng nodded.
Ji Qingyi then said, "Since that is the case, Qingyi should depart. Later, if there are any important matters in the Nine Heavens, Qingyi will come to find Young Master Jun."
"Alright," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Ji Qingyi was a woman with deep schemes. Her current actions undoubtedly meant she had something to ask of Jun Xiaoyao.
As for what Ji Qingyi wanted, she did not say it now.
However, with Ji Qingyi currently being the proud daughter of the Immortal Demon Grotto Heaven, it was indeed very convenient for her to gather information.
Also, the matter of Gui Xu Land was also brought up by Ji Qingyi herself.
Jun Xiaoyao also recalled what Nameless had said about Dugu Sword God fighting the Chief Priest in Gui Xu Land.
That Gui Xu Land was very likely a place related to the Chief Priest's secret.
So Jun Xiaoyao's plan was to stay in the Sword Tomb while also looking for a suitable opportunity to explore Gui Xu Land.
Not to mention, he also had a sign-in mission in Gui Xu Land, which Jun Xiaoyao could not miss.
After bidding farewell, Ji Qingyi departed.
Jun Xiaoyao looked at Yan Rumeng and said, "You can stay with me in the Sword Tomb. When Little Demon Queen comes to find you, it won't be too late for you to go with her."
Although Yan Rumeng was not a person of the Sword Tomb.
It was just a word from Jun Xiaoyao if she wanted to stay in the Sword Tomb.
Moreover, Jun Xiaoyao was quite curious about Little Demon Queen.
He wanted to know what force was behind Little Demon Queen.
Yan Rumeng nodded.
If it were before, she would definitely have left.
But now, her knot was untied.
Since she couldn't escape this fated man, she would just go with him.
Meanwhile, Situ Xue remained silent, occasionally glancing at Ye Guchen.
Although Ye Guchen was a straight man of steel, it didn't mean he wasn't observant.
"What's wrong?" Ye Guchen asked.
"Nothing… nothing, I might have to return to my Family temporarily next," Situ Xue stammered.
"That's good. I, Ye, will repay your life-saving grace in the future," Ye Guchen said seriously.
Jun Xiaoyao, who was beside them, cast a sidelong glance.
He found Ye Guchen's steel-man-like reply a bit unbearable.
It was clear that the girl was reluctant and had something on her mind.
At this moment, it was precisely the time to show care and concern.
When the girl was most vulnerable, he should offer her a broad and firm shoulder, letting her become reliant on that sense of security.
That was the correct way to do it.
How could he just dismiss her with a single sentence now?
Jun Xiaoyao even wanted to give Ye Guchen some pointers.
Hearing Ye Guchen's words, Situ Xue also showed a bitter smile.
She raised her head and stared directly at Ye Guchen.
"Little Yezi, the luckiest thing for Xue'er was saving you that day."
"I hope you will always remember me. That would be the greatest repayment, wouldn't it?"
After Situ Xue finished speaking, she turned and left, a tear glistening in the corner of her eye.
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
Why did this farewell feel like life and death?
Seeing Situ Xue's departing back, Ye Guchen's mouth silently opened, but in the end, he said nothing.
He was Ye Guchen.
He was the Sword Demon.
He was also a wisp of Dugu Sword God's soul.
Things like love and affection, perhaps, were never meant to exist in his life.
His life was only about the sword, living and dying alongside the sword.
Jun Xiaoyao sighed at this, saying, "She's truly a good girl, Brother Ye, are you just going to reject her like that?"
Ye Guchen shook his head slightly, saying, "My life is only for the sword; it cannot hold anything else."
"Following me, she wouldn't be happy either."
Ye Guchen was used to solitude.
Whether it was the Sword Demon in his previous life or him now.
Even Dugu Sword God.
Basically, there was no Family affection, friendship, or love.
Always standing alone, like a lone wolf.
The sword was the entire meaning of their existence.
Jun Xiaoyao did not comment on this.
Everyone's life value deserved to be respected.
If Ye Guchen considered the sword his only meaning, then that was his value.
But for Jun Xiaoyao.
Cultivate was very important.
However, in comparison, Family, lovers, confidantes, friends, and soulmates were equally important.
Jun Xiaoyao did not want to end up looking around, invincible in the world.
Only to find himself alone.
What kind of loneliness would that be?
"What is the meaning of Cultivate? Perhaps everyone has a different answer in their hearts."
"But for me, it's not the loneliness of standing at the Peak, but having the ability to protect the most cherished existences in my heart," Jun Xiaoyao sighed.
Yan Rumeng, beside him, also gave Jun Xiaoyao a deep look.
This man, who always seemed as clear and calm as the wind, seemingly indifferent to everything.
In his heart, it seemed there was also a kind of pressure and heaviness that others could not understand.
Yan Rumeng suddenly understood at this moment.
Why Jiang Shengyi was so important to Jun Xiaoyao.
It was very likely because.
Jiang Shengyi understood the heaviness and loneliness in Jun Xiaoyao's heart.
And was willing to help him bear that burden.
At this moment, Yan Rumeng, who had always had no particular goal.
Suddenly had a goal.
She didn't ask to always be by Jun Xiaoyao's side.
As long as she could witness him reaching the Peak, and always watch over him, that would be enough.
Seemingly sensing the slightly solemn atmosphere.
Jun Xiaoyao suddenly smiled faintly and joked, "Brother Ye, do you know that the cruelest thing in the world is to betray a woman's true feelings?"
Hearing this.
Yan Rumeng and Ye Guchen both looked at Jun Xiaoyao at the same time, with a strange expression.
"What's wrong?" Jun Xiaoyao stroked his chin.
"Brother Jun, when those words come from your mouth, why do they feel strangely ironic?"
Even someone with Ye Guchen's personality was a bit speechless at this moment.
Jun Xiaoyao, how many women's hearts have you betrayed? Don't you have any idea?
Not to mention the distant ones, there's one standing right here, isn't there?
Yan Rumeng also gritted her silver teeth, her gaze becoming somewhat fierce.
Wasn't Jun Xiaoyao just the pot calling the kettle black?
"Cough…"
Jun Xiaoyao coughed dryly.
"Alright, let's Cultivate next. Oh, by the way, Brother Ye, haven't you always wanted to spar with me? We just happen to have time…"
