198 The Instructions Before Leaving

At this moment, in Violet Cloud Peak.

Violet Cloud Peak returned to its usual peace after the curtains fell. After resting for three days, Ye Qiu called his three disciples to his side.

"Master…" Lin Qingzhu brought her two junior sisters to Ye Qiu's side and called out.

Ye Qiu nodded and looked at Little Linglong. This little girl seemed to be asleep. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Ye Qiu in a daze.

Ye Qiu shook his head. Seeing that everyone was here, he said, "Alright! This Dao discussion at Yun Ding has come to an end. Overall, your performance is not bad. I saw it…"

The three of them were delighted when they heard this encouragement. Nothing made them happier than their master's praise.

"However, although the results are not bad, you can't be proud, conceited, and neglect your cultivation. The Immortal Dao is vast. In this long cultivation life, one needs to maintain a high-intensity cultivation state at all times. Once one is lazy, it's very likely that others will catch up. I've already taught you what I should teach you. You know how to cultivate next…"

At this point, the three of them nodded. The secret techniques that Ye Qiu taught them were enough for them to cultivate for a long time.

Currently, Lin Qingzhu's cultivation has already reached level nine of Infinite Distance. As long as she went into seclusion for a while, she would be able to break through to the Hidden Life realm.

Zhao Wan'er was still at level five of Infinite Distance. She had been obsessed with alchemy recently and felt like she had forgotten to eat and sleep. Therefore, her cultivation progress was relatively slow. Fortunately, she had finally grasped the alchemy technique.

As for Little Linglong, this little fellow was more ferocious. She had only returned for three days, but her cultivation had increased all the way to level three of Infinite Distance. Because on Mount Yun Ding, she had broken through her shackles and successfully broken through to her extreme. Her potential had been infinitely magnified.

Furthermore, after activating the Berserk state many times, her body had already reached her limit and she naturally advanced. This might be the advantage of a Body Tempering cultivator. As long as her body could keep up, her advancement in the realm would be extremely fast.

He looked at his three precious disciples with satisfaction. Ye Qiu still had a few things to tell them. Then, he looked at Lin Qingzhu and said, "Qingzhu, Violet Cloud Peak will be under your control for the time being. You're the head disciple of Violet Cloud Peak and the future successor. You should familiarize yourself with these things in advance so that you won't be at a loss when you take over in the future…"

Lin Qingzhu was stunned for a moment and said, "Master, where are you going?"

She had never thought that she would have to control Violet Cloud Peak. Because her master was still young, he would probably last until she croaked. Therefore, Lin Qingzhu had never thought that she would one day inherit Violet Cloud Peak. Unless her master chose to retreat and let her succeed after him. Otherwise, she would never be able to take over. This was definitely not a joke.

He could really stay alive with his current cultivation. He was already at the peak of the Paragon realm, not to mention if he broke through to the King-Ranked realm. He would still be as young while Lin Qingzhu would probably have grass growing on her grave.

Therefore, Lin Qingzhu did not dare to think that she would really be able to control Violet Cloud Peak one day. There was fear and uneasiness amidst the confusion, all written on her expression.

Ye Qiu said calmly, "Recently, I felt an opportunity to break through and need to enter seclusion for a period of time. I don't know how long it will take. It's as long as ten years and as short as a year. Therefore, before I go into seclusion, I have something to tell you."

Hearing this, the three of their hearts trembled. Little Linglong's big watery eyes shed tears. "Master, are you going to croak?"

Lin Qingzhu and Zhao Wan'er were speechless.

However, Little Linglong's teary expression made them stop thinking about knocking her head. How could Little Linglong know what seclusion was? However, she had heard from her master that her grandmaster had gone into seclusion and handed Violet Cloud Peak to her master before never returning. She thought that her master would also croak, so he wanted to hand Violet Cloud Peak to her senior sister and leave.

After all, Grandmaster had also left like this back then. This familiar scene made her subconsciously think that Ye Qiu would also die.

The corner of Ye Qiu's mouth twitched when he heard this. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Such filial piety. This little darling is extraordinary.

"I am still young. I won't croak for the time being." Ye Qiu sweated and held his forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Turning around, he instructed earnestly, "Linglong, be good. I am only going into seclusion for a period of time. I'll be back soon."

"What is seclusion?" Little Linglong was still puzzled and asked with teary eyes. Her emotions were out of control, and she could not suppress the power in her body.

Ye Qiu squatted down and gently held her little hand. A gentle force surged into her body and instantly suppressed her violent power. He smiled and explained, "Seclusion is to cultivate in a place that is isolated from the outside world. I can only come out of seclusion after I succeed."

Hearing Ye Qiu's explanation, Little Linglong immediately calmed down. So that was what seclusion meant. But didn't Grandmaster say that he had also gone into seclusion? Why was everyone saying that he had died?

Little Linglong was a little puzzled, but she was afraid of being beaten up and didn't dare to ask. Her little head was filled with curiosity.

Ye Qiu continued, "Linglong, be good. Remember to listen to your senior sisters and don't cause trouble everywhere, understand? When I come back, I'll teach you a powerful hammer technique, okay?"

"Really? Master, don't lie…" When Little Linglong heard this, she immediately squeezed out a smile and became excited.

"When have I ever lied to you? Be obedient…" Ye Qiu patiently instructed. Then, he stood up and looked at Zhao Wan'er. "Wan'er, cooperate with your senior sister while I'm not around and deal with Violet Cloud Peak's matters. This is the first time your senior sister has experienced such a thing. She might not have much experience. You came from the royal family and are considered knowledgeable."

Zhao Wan'er nodded and said, "Yes, Master, I understand. I will cooperate with Senior Sister. Don't worry, Master."

Ye Qiu was satisfied when he heard her agree.

Violet Cloud Peak had always been relatively free, and there were very few things to deal with, so Lin Qingzhu did not feel much pressure. The only pressure might be from some major matters in the sect.

For example, she might not be able to speak at the Seven Peaks Meeting and some important decisions held by the Heaven Mending Sect. Especially the disciple recruitment ceremony next year. It could be said to be the most grand ceremony in the entire Heaven Mending Sect.

As the peak master of Violet Cloud Peak, Ye Qiu should attend. However, he was going into seclusion now, so he could only let Lin Qingzhu go.

Ye Qiu was a little worried about this impromptu decision, but he should let her try.

"Okay!" After comforting his three disciples, Ye Qiu continued, "Qingzhu, remember my words. When I'm not around, keep a low profile. Watch over your little junior sister and try not to cause trouble…

"If you encounter anything major that you can't resolve yourself, you can wait for me to come out of seclusion before I settle it myself."

Lin Qingzhu nodded. She was a little terrified and reluctant. Ever since she went up the mountain, she had never thought that she would be able to stand alone. She had never thought about what it would be like when her master was not by her side. All along, no matter if it was windy or rainy in front, her master would block it for her. Now that she had two junior sisters, she should bear such a responsibility since her master was not around. She should take over her master's position and shelter her two junior sisters.

"Master, don't worry. I'll take good care of Linglong." Lin Qingzhu said firmly. She was not good with words, but every word she said was from the bottom of her heart.

Hearing her reply, Ye Qiu smiled in relief. Ye Qiu had never doubted his eldest disciple's ability. The only thing he was worried about was this little fellow. Her habit of wishing for the world to be in chaos had been changed. But who knows? She might pick up that habit again after he left.

This was a question worth pondering.

Yesterday, Ye Qiu gave Little Linglong a psychological counseling class, wanting to hear her inner thoughts. She told Ye Qiu what happened in school and suddenly understood her.

It was not that she was insensible, but she could not suppress the power in her body when she lost control of her emotions. Back then, because of Yang Bubai's words, Little Linglong fell into deep self-blame and suspicion. She specially went to ask Elder Xu what a jinx meant.

After hearing Elder Xu's explanation, Little Linglong lost control of her emotions. She had never thought that she had jinxed her parents and the old beggar. However, after Yang Bubai's stimulation, she had self-doubt and lost control of her emotions. The latter part was just a lie she made up to hide the secret in her heart.

When Ye Qiu understood these things, his heart ached and he blamed himself. He only cared about teaching them secret techniques to make them stronger, but he ignored their inner feelings. Fortunately, he discovered it early and untied the knot in her heart. Otherwise, once this problem was left behind, it would definitely have a huge impact on her.

"Sigh…" Ye Qiu seemed to be influenced when he saw the sweet smile on her face. He sighed. Actually… What was wrong with what Yang Bubai said? She carried the karma of reincarnation, and her identity was too great. How could a few ordinary people withstand that karma?

That was right and wrong. What happened had already happened. There was no point in pursuing the so-called right and wrong.

"Okay!" In the end, Ye Qiu calmed down and said indifferently, "I've already said what I need to say. It's still the same old saying. You can't slack off and neglect your cultivation. After I come out of seclusion, I will check your homework."

After saying that, Ye Qiu turned around and walked towards the back mountain.

"Goodbye, Master…"

The three of them watched as Ye Qiu left the martial arts arena and entered the back mountain, Violet Cloud Cave Abode.
