Chapter 289 The Hehuan Sect Master Who Snatches People Everywhere in the Cultivation World (31)
"Sword Master Changheng, let's have a chat."
"I won't give in," Ah Zhao said firmly.
Sword Master Changheng gripped the Shisheng Sword tightly. If reason hadn't told her that what lay before her was Leyan's inner demon, and that hurting her would be tantamount to hurting Leyan, she probably would have already swung her sword, breaking through Azhao's obstruction, and heading straight for that obstructive Yachi.
"I don't want to talk to you, move aside."
Sword Master Changheng spoke again.
Ah Zhao slightly lifted her eyelids, "No."
"She is not your property, and you have no right to interfere in what she does."
Sword Master Changheng pursed his lips, his eyes slightly sharp. After a long silence, he slowly spoke: "What do you want to talk about?"
A-Zhao raised an eyebrow, gestured in the direction of the Floating Life Palace, and said, "Let's go back and sit down to talk. Don't disturb them here."
As soon as she finished speaking, A-Zhao flew towards the Floating Life Palace first, not worried that Sword Master Changheng would not follow her.
As she expected, after taking a long look at the Cliff Pool shrouded in the barrier, Sword Master Changheng chose to return to the Floating Life Palace with her.
Inside the Floating Life Palace, the two sat on either side of each other.
Ah Zhao poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Sword Master Changheng.
She gestured, "Sword Master, please have a taste."
Sword Master Changheng glanced down at the steaming tea cup, but did not touch it. He simply said, "No need. Just say what you want to say."
A-Zhao didn't press the matter. She took a sip of hot tea before sighing, "Sword Master Changheng must be quite fond of Yan Yan, right?"
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have left Tianwu Peak and stayed in Hehuan Sect."
Everyone in the cultivation world knows that since she entered the Mahayana stage of cultivation, Sword Venerable Changheng has rarely left Tianwu Peak. The only one or two times she did leave the mountain were for her two disciples.
Now, however, he has completely abandoned Tianwu Peak and is wholeheartedly devoted to staying in the Hehuan Sect, closely following Leyan's side, which shows his deep affection.
This is also why Ah Zhao chose to sit down and talk with the other party.
As the number one person in the cultivation world, having her assistance would be extremely beneficial to Le Yan.
Sword Master Changheng lowered his eyes slightly, "My heart is with her, but her heart is not with me."
Sword Master Changheng felt a pang of bitterness as he spoke his mind.
She thought that perhaps it was because her initial methods had frightened Le Yan that Le Yan had refused to accept her.
Ah Zhao shook her head. "No, she's interested in you too."
Upon hearing this, Sword Master Changheng looked up abruptly, his eyes gleaming with wild joy. "Really?!"
Was it not a one-sided infatuation or wishful thinking on her part?
Ah Zhao smiled slightly and sighed softly, "Of course, but..."
She hesitated, but Sword Master Changheng urged her repeatedly, "But what is it?"
Sword Master Changheng wanted to know what exactly stood between her and Leyan.
A-Zhao stopped keeping her in suspense and said seriously, "It's just that Yan-Yan doesn't like being forced or suppressed."
"She likes to control others, but you are too powerful, ruthless, and assertive. She is afraid she can't control you, so she chooses not to accept you."
To put it simply, Le Yan was afraid that she couldn't outmaneuver Sword Master Chang Heng and that she wouldn't be able to escape.
Ah Zhao smiled and said, "Sword Master, why don't you consider the tradition of our Hehuan Sect? We have many romantic relationships, but we don't give any of them a proper title. If Sword Master can't accept this, then please let go."
"Otherwise, neither of you will be happy."
Sword Master Changheng fell into deep thought, and slowly, he suddenly realized something.
So, the reason she avoided him like the plague and refused to accept him at all was because of the contract he had asked for?
Sword Master Changheng pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "This is not a problem."
She had never been moved by love; she only knew that if she liked someone, becoming their Daoist partner was the best choice for them.
Little did she know that some people simply don't like forming bonds, and Leyan was one of them.
So from the very beginning, she stepped on Le Yan's sore spot, which is why she was always at a loss.
Sword Master Changheng solemnly said, "I can choose not to form a contract. I can be controlled by her. You don't need to worry that I will hurt her."
She had come to understand that both Le Yan and Le Yan's inner demons were actually wary of her cultivation level, fearing that she might harm them if she became angry.
However, in this world, even if she were to hurt someone else, she would never hurt Leyan.
Ah Zhao raised her eyebrows slightly, "If Sword Master can truly accept the Hehuan Sect's traditions and suppress his thoughts, then he should speak to her personally. Perhaps, things will develop differently for you."
With the Sword Venerable Changheng as her dual cultivation companion, Leyan will have no worries about her cultivation level not increasing.
Ah Zhao narrowed her eyes slightly. She wanted that person to ascend to immortality. Only when he became an immortal could they be together for a long, long time.
Ah Zhao also hates that so many people are always surrounding Le Yan, but compared to the foreseeable future, these things don't matter.

Big and small things were happening in the Hehuan Sect, and things were not peaceful outside the sect either.
Lingyun Sect
Su Linyu is racking her brains to run away from home.
Unfortunately, his parents kept a close eye on him, and he couldn't find a chance to leave.
However, he soon found an opportunity.
Although the chances of success were slim, he felt it was worth a try.
"Snapped"
A small stone was thrown at him, catching Sheng An's attention.
He glanced to the side, and before he could see anyone, he could already smell that familiar, annoying scent.
Sure enough, it was that guy Su Linyu.
With a quick glance around, Sheng An coughed lightly and said to the Lingyun Sect disciple beside him, "Senior brother, could you please help me find my junior brother and get my medicine from him?"
He looked sickly, and the Lingyun Sect disciple immediately nodded: "Then Young Master Sheng, please wait in the pavilion over there. I will be back soon."
Leading Sheng An towards the pavilion, Su Linyu appeared as soon as the disciple left.
"Hey! You surnamed Sheng, what are you doing in our sect? Were you also kicked out by the sect leader?"
The "Sect Master" that Su Linyu mentioned naturally refers to Xuan Yu Immortal Venerable, the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect.
Sheng An remained expressionless and did not answer Su Linyu's question. Instead, he asked directly, "What do you want with me?"
Su Linyu pursed his lips but didn't press the matter. He leaned closer and pleaded softly, "Mr. Sheng, since we know each other, could you please help me smuggle myself out of the Lingyun Sect?"
"Why should I help you?"
Sheng An's question, which neither said it was good nor bad, gave Su Linyu hope.
"What kind of reward do you want? As long as you help me, I'll give you whatever I can!"
