Chapter 289: The “Fallen” Ling Wanqing

The exit of Ye Lin's era does not signify decline; the new generation of Disciples is also painting their own life scrolls.

At this moment, Su Yu saw his Jade Slip, and Han Shi had sent him a message.

Su Yu's expression was somewhat strange upon seeing this message; this was even more extreme than what he sometimes did.

Just then, Han Shi arrived at Su Yu's place.

Su Yu looked at the two people beside Han Shi; how could he not recognize them?

Han Shi quickly brought the two newly accepted Disciples into Su Yu's courtyard.

Su Yu looked at the Tang siblings and said, "Brother Han, you have taken them both as your Disciples."

Han Shi nodded, "That's right, I just accepted them yesterday. I decided to pass on a bit of my Legacy."

"I find these two to be quite good, and I have high hopes for them."

Hearing Han Shi's words, the two Tang siblings began to feel a bit embarrassed.

The two Tang siblings looked at Su Yu. Their master had said he was taking them to meet a good friend, and they had been a bit nervous at the time.

They didn't know who their master's friend was, or if they would be very scary or strict.

But once they saw the person their master spoke of, they felt their worries were unnecessary.

Isn't this Elder Su from before? They had also heard that some people wanted to become Elder Su's Disciples during this time, but Elder Su had not agreed.

They hadn't expected their master's good friend to be Elder Su; this was wonderful.

The two Tang siblings smiled and said, "Elder Su, it's been a long time. We still want to thank you for what you did back then."

Su Yu smiled, "You might not know this, but your master noticed you back when you were at the Illusion Ladder."

Hearing this, a trace of joy appeared in their eyes. When they learned two days ago that Han Shi wanted to take them as his Disciples, they had been so happy they couldn't sleep.

He was a famous figure in the War between Immortals and Demons, whom they had heard of—especially that Silver Dragon Battle Skill.

Han Shi waved his hand, and the two Tang siblings sat down to the side.

Su Yu waved his hand, and the snow on the wine table vanished.

Su Yu and Han Shi sat in the snow, drinking.

Han Shi said, "Brother Su, I have to say, drinking in the snow feels quite different."

Su Yu nodded, "Indeed, it feels like it has an extra layer of Concept."

The Tang siblings sat to the side, observing everything in the courtyard and the surrounding scenery.

The environment in Elder Su's place is truly beautiful, and this courtyard is as well.

This is truly a great place; it is the most beautiful courtyard they have ever seen. In their eyes, it was almost like a fairyland.

No wonder Elder Su has such an elegant and easygoing temperament.

Living here, one feels their soul can truly relax.

Plus, this courtyard has a swing, a pond, and a zither and chess set.

Elder Su must be someone who knows how to live well. They didn't know how good his zither and chess skills were, but they felt they shouldn't be bad.

Han Shi and Su Yu drank wine. Han Shi looked up at the sky, "It has already been a year; time passes so quickly. I wonder how Brother Ye is doing now."

Han Shi shook his head, "Forget it, I won't think about it."

"By the way, Brother Su, did you see the message I sent you?"

Su Yu nodded, "I saw it. I didn't expect such a thing to happen; it's truly a pity."

Han Shi nodded with a look of regret, "I didn't expect that Peak Master Ling actually died in the War between Immortals and Demons."

"Many people cannot believe it, but the Sect Master of the Celestial Maiden Sect and Peak Master Ling's Disciple have both confirmed it is true."

"From what I've gathered, many people are starting to have a hard time with it; some are even on the verge of a breakdown."

"Although Peak Master Ling hasn't appeared for a long time, for those who haven't seen her, it doesn't really feel like anything."

"But for those who have seen Peak Master Ling, it is different. Even if Peak Master Ling never appears, it does not affect her unshakable status in their hearts."

"That figure and beauty, unrivaled by anyone—it was a beauty that simply shouldn't exist. Even the fairies of the Immortal Realm cannot compare to her. That was how I felt when I first saw her."

"Truly, a beautiful woman is destined for a short life. It is such a pity."

Tang Xi and her brother were very curious when they heard this. They knew of this Peak Master Ling, but they didn't know what she looked like.

After hearing their master speak like this, they guessed that this Peak Master Ling must be very beautiful, but she had fallen in the War between Immortals and Demons.

Tang Xi couldn't help but ask, "Master, is that Peak Master Ling very beautiful? She should be about the same as Liu Qinghe from our Sect, right?"

In the eyes of Tang Xi and her brother, the most beautiful person was Liu Qinghe; they had never seen anyone so beautiful.

Han Shi shook his head, "Liu Qinghe is indeed very beautiful; one could say she is the most beautiful in the Profound Heaven Sect."

"But you haven't seen her, so you don't understand. Liu Qinghe is beautiful, but compared to Ling Wanqing, it is like a firefly trying to compete with the sun and moon."

Hearing this, the two Tang siblings were shocked. Liu Qinghe's beauty was unquestionable; she was so beautiful that one couldn't find any flaws.

But the fact that she couldn't compare to Peak Master Ling shocked them deeply. They couldn't imagine what Peak Master Ling actually looked like.

Could such a person really exist?

Su Yu looked at Han Shi, "The War between Immortals and Demons is like that; you cannot predict what will happen next or who will fall."

After Su Yu and Han Shi chatted for a while, and also chatted with the Tang siblings, the three of them left.

Su Yu knew the truth of the matter. Ling Wanqing died? That didn't exist. The one who had slashed Jiang Cheng with a sword right in front of him back then was Ling Wanqing.

Su Yu knew that Ling Wanqing was extremely cautious, but he hadn't expected Ling Wanqing to fake her own death.

Now, one could say that Ling Wanqing of the Celestial Maiden Sect had completely disappeared; this was likely the life Ling Wanqing wanted.

At this moment, at the Celestial Maiden Sect, Yue Xin was drinking tea in Ling Wanqing's courtyard.

The two were chatting about recent events.

Yue Xin smiled, "Wanqing, news of your situation has completely spread. Now, basically everyone in the Southern Region knows you have fallen."

"I see that many people are having a hard time getting over it after hearing this news."

Ling Wanqing looked at Yue Xin, "Let them be. Anyway, I like my current situation very much; this is the life I wanted to live."

"By the way, Sect Master, I might go out for a while in a bit. It might be for quite a long time."

Yue Xin shook her head, "It's fine, go ahead with peace of mind. Anyway, no one will come near your courtyard."

Yue Xin then left Ling Wanqing's courtyard. As for what Ling Wanqing was going out to do, she couldn't be bothered to ask. As for danger, there was no need to worry about that now.

Ling Wanqing looked up at the sky. She was going out to perfect her Zither Intent. Her Zither Intent was just one step away from entering the Realm of the Domain of Zither.

It was always missing one step, one opportunity.

She still needed to go out and walk around to see if she could encounter that opportunity.

Thinking of this, Ling Wanqing transformed into that ordinary appearance and then vanished from the courtyard.
