#60 - What is love in this world?

Xu Daoling and the Empty Little Baldy seemed to realize they shouldn't have asked, and immediately shut their mouths.

"You're curious too, aren't you?" Uncle Bird looked at Jun Wuxie and said, "That day, the female corpse on the Sword Tablet, who exactly was she?"

Jun Wuxie remained silent. He saw tears in Uncle Bird's eyes, filled with an indescribable sorrow.

Uncle Bird was silent for a long time, his expression constantly changing.

It was as if he was recalling the past, sometimes with longing, sometimes with warmth, sometimes with tenderness, sometimes with sadness, sometimes with pain, sometimes with regret, and finally, all these complex emotions turned into guilt…

"Her name was He Qingyun, the former Vice Sect Master of the Great River Sword Sect, He Jianyun's younger sister, and also my wife, Mu Qianshan's wife, the woman I loved most in my life, but also the one I owe the most…"

Jun Wuxie, Xu Daoling, and Kongxu were all shocked!

They never imagined that the relationship would be so complicated.

Uncle Bird ignored their shocked expressions and began to talk about the events between himself and He Qingyun, from initially targeting each other to gradually understanding and cherishing each other.

At that time, they were still young and, pressured by reality and the long-standing feud between the two sects, could only love each other secretly.

This clandestine love lasted for many years.

Until one of them became the Vice Sect Master of the Great River Sword Sect, and the other became the Sect Master of the Sect King Academy.

At that time, He Qingyun thought that as the Vice Sect Master, she was qualified to discuss this matter with her brother, the Sect Master, but she was strongly opposed and even injured by He Jianyun.

After enduring hundreds of years of torment, she didn't want to wait any longer, didn't want to leave any regrets in her life, and resolutely fled the Great River Sword Sect to the Sect King Academy, marrying Mu Qianshan despite everyone's objections.

The Great River Sword Sect was furious, but they sealed off the news.

The Sect King Academy also didn't want to provoke the Great River Sword Sect too much, so they carefully kept the matter a secret from outsiders.

In the many years that followed, He Qingyun never left Sect King Mountain, always silently accompanying Mu Qianshan.

However, she could never let go of her family in her heart.

It was this trace of familial affection that ruined her, turning her into a tragedy.

He Jianyun used familial affection to trick her into going to the Great River Sword Sect, where he maniacally nailed her to the Sword Tablet, torturing her for three full years before she died.

"Beast! How could anyone do such a thing? That was his own sister!"

Jun Wuxie couldn't accept this kind of thing at all. He also had a younger sister, and he couldn't wait to give her the whole world, not letting her suffer any grievances.

But that He Jianyun was so mad!

Yesterday, he even used the corpse on the Sword Tablet to provoke Uncle Bird!

"I'm sorry to her, for those three years, watching her suffer endless torment but being powerless! I tried to break into the Great River Sword Sect many times to save her, but each time I fell into a trap, almost causing your Wine Master to lose his life trying to save me!"

"For the future of the Sect King Academy, I could only endure, only apologize to her…"

Uncle Bird painfully recounted these events. He couldn't die. There were few people left in the Sect King Academy. If he died, only the old Wine Master would be left, and the sect's inheritance might truly end.

However, watching the woman he loved deeply nailed to the Sword Tablet and exposed to the elements for so many years, his heart was extremely painful and tormented.

Jun Wuxie didn't say anything.

Uncle Bird had many difficulties, and he wasn't qualified to say anything about making such a choice.

However, for Jun Wuxie himself, this was unacceptable.

If Yue Yao was gone, he didn't know what meaning there would be in his life?

In the future, would he kill his way to the Xiao Clan to avenge the theft of his bloodline?

Perhaps, at that time, that would be the only meaning of his life.

But if the person he wanted to protect most was gone, what would happen after the revenge? He would probably follow her.

In his life, there was only Yue Yao, just as in Yue Yao's life, there was only him.

"What is love in this world that it makes people pledge their lives to each other…?" Uncle Bird smiled sadly, mocking himself, "Pledging their lives to each other, Yun'er could do it, but I am a coward, ultimately failing her…"

There are joys and sorrows, partings and reunions in the world, causing people pain and sadness.

Jun Wuxie turned his head and looked at his house in the distance.

In this life, he must never let Yue Yao leave him.

From that day half a year ago, they were destined to rely on each other for life, forever!

Whether it's heaven or hell.

In the Yellow Springs, he would protect her!

"There." Uncle Bird pointed to the foot of the Great River Sword Sect mountain and said, "Imprisoned are the passionate disciples of my Sect King Academy throughout the generations. In my remaining years, Mu Qianshan only hopes to bring them back and bury them properly, so that they can be freed, and then I can rest assured to accompany Yun'er, she has been waiting for me alone for decades…"

"Sect Master, don't worry, we will definitely bring them home!"

Xu Daoling's eyes were a little wet. So his sect had suffered such a bloody past.

"I am no longer the Sect Master, and I have no face to be the Sect Master anymore. In the future, the Sect King Academy will eventually be handed over to you. I hope you can shoulder this responsibility and let it be passed down."

"Uncle Bird, the sect, the future, we've got it!"

Jun Wuxie didn't say any impassioned words.

But this one sentence, "We've got it," made Mu Qianshan's eyes turn red.

At this moment, those once-vivid faces seemed to reappear before his eyes.

Over the years, none of the disciples of the Sect King Academy were cowards, not one of them was a wimp!

They were all good men, with unyielding iron bones, good sons and daughters!

In order to bring home the first batch of people who were made into lanterns by the Great River Sword Sect, generation after generation, they ascended the Life and Death Platform, shed their blood, and were not afraid of life and death, pressing forward one after another!

"Cultivate." Uncle Bird took a deep look in the direction of the Great River Sword Sect, retracted his gaze, adjusted his mentality, and pointed to the waterfall, saying, "Kongxu, you have the Vajra Body. If you were in Buddhism, you would be destined to be a Dharma Protector Vajra. Now that you have joined my Sect King Academy, the sect doesn't have a suitable method for you to cultivate. All I can do is help you better awaken and stimulate your bloodline potential. Go under the waterfall, there's a boulder there, lift it up and withstand the impact of the waterfall!"

"Okay!"

The Empty Little Baldy's emotions were still stuck in the sect's past tragedy, and his whole person had a bit more bloodiness, striding into the waterfall and lifting the boulder.

The impact of the waterfall was too strong. Kongxu used a lot of effort to lift the boulder over his head. Several times he almost couldn't stand steady from the impact and knelt down.

"Daoling, you have a dual talent, the Yin-Yang Eye. I can't help you awaken it, you have to rely on yourself. The only thing I can help you with is to stimulate your Wind Spirit potential." Uncle Bird pointed to a distant area and said, "Go in, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to leave the fence, you can only move within the fence."

Xu Daoling nodded and jumped into the fenced area of several hundred meters.

Uncle Bird pointed a finger at the mountainside at the end of one side of the enclosure.

Sword-shaped true energy pierced through the air.

With a cracking sound.

It seemed that a metal door was opening, followed by a wolf howl that made the whole body's hairs stand on end, shaking the entire Sect King Mountain.

Xu Daoling's eyes suddenly widened, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

A wolf with a height of two meters, a length of four meters, a body of cyan fur, and thunder horns on its forehead rushed out, and as it ran, wind power lingered on its feet, as fast as a swift wind.

"Uncle Bird, help!"

Xu Daoling bounced up like a rabbit in an instant and ran away.

Jun Wuxie was stunned. That guy ran too exaggeratedly. As his feet ran, because of the excessive speed, it looked like a rapidly rotating wheel, and only a rotating circle of phantom could be seen.

"Uncle Bird, you are my dear uncle, help, letting the Gale Thunder Wolf will kill people!"

Xu Daoling's voice was about to cry, running and looking back, chased by the Gale Thunder Wolf with its grinning fangs, jumping up and down, running wildly across the entire enclosure, the entire enclosure was their afterimage.

"Daoling, don't look back, the soul's fit with true energy can reduce the consumption of using wind power, and at the same time, it can more clearly sense the distance between the enemy behind you and you."

Uncle Bird calmly instructed, simply found a large bluestone and sat down, took out a tea set as if by magic, and after rummaging in his pocket for a long time, he only deducted a little bit of cheap tea leaves and leisurely brewed tea.
