Spirit Ruin, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Chapter 32 Outer Sect

Li Guanqis outburst left a deep impression on all the disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect. Thanks to todays events, everyone knew that he wasnt someone to mess with, regardless of his cultivation base. Even so, his loss of cultivation was a cold hard fact. Whenever he walked around the sect, other disciples would stare and whisper about him.

When Li Nanting heard about what had just happened, he stormed out of his villa and punished several disciples for gossiping. Because of this, the disciples of other peaks harbored resentment towards the Heavenly Thunder Peak, even leading to fights between sect members. Li Nanting only had one thing to say about this!

If you lose outside, dont claim to be a disciple of Heavenly Thunder Peak!

Seeing the situation escalating, Li Guanqi came to visit Li Nanting that night. A little girl sat on his shoulder. For some reason, Yu Suian became particularly attached to him after learning about Li Guanqis background.

She grabbed the young mans ear and rested her head on his head, saying, Hey, why did come over?

Li Guanqi thought for a moment and then smiled, saying, I thought youd want to share a steamed bun.

Yu Suians little face filled with pride as she said, Haha, my tastes are more refined than that! The most delicious thing is a big meat bun! Its way more fragrant!

So why did you come to find Grandpa Li?

The young man held her legs, not allowing her to fall, and said, Me? Ive come to make sure Master isnt too troubled.

However, when he knocked on the door, he found that Li Nanting was not in the courtyard. Hearing other senior brothers say that Master seemed to be at Heavenly Water Peak, Li Guanqi took Yu Suian with him and rushed to over.

Li Guanqis speed was extraordinary, and Yu Suian felt a gentle breeze blowing in front of her, laughing as Li Guanqi ran across the peaks.

Heavenly Thunder Master Guanqi, go faster, even faster!

When Li Guanqi arrived at Heavenly Water Peak with Yusuian, he overheard a conversation between two people in the main hall.

Lan He, can you please tell Shen Lan to help check Li Guanqis situation?

Li Guanqi stood frozen outside the door, listening to these words.

Having been in the sect for so long, he naturally knew who Shen Lan was.

She was the mid-level Nascent Soul stage powerhouse, the master of Heavenly Water Peak, who rarely appeared in the sect.

But he had also heard some rumors about that woman and his Master.

Master

Elder Li arent you making it difficult for me? Ive already checked the childs condition, and there doesnt seem to be any significant problems.

I can handle other matters, but if youre asking me to pass this message to the Peak Master Im truly helpless.

In the room, Elder Lan Hes resigned voice could be heard.

Immediately, a middle-aged woman appeared next to Li Guanqi, startling him. The woman had exceptionally well-preserved features, looked to be in her thirties, and had a stunningly beautiful appearance. A warm smile graced the womans face as she looked at the young man and said softly, Eavesdropping isnt a good habit, you know?

Li Guanqi quickly stood up, supporting the little girl on his shoulder, and respectfully said, Junior Disciple Li Guanqi greets Peak Master Shen!

Shen Lan raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in her eyes, and said, Li Nanting seems to have taken in a clever disciple.

The conversation between the two also caught the attention of those inside. Dressed in a light blue robe, Shen Lan pushed the door open and entered, but Li Guanqi stayed outside.

Why arent you going in, Li Guanqi? Yu Suian asked.

Hush Its not the right time for me to go in.

She tilted her head, unsure of what he meant.

As Shen Lan pushed the door open and entered, her expression remained calm. She fixed her beautiful eyes directly on Li Nanting and said, It seems you really like this disciple, to the extent that youve left your high station to come here.

Her words dripped with sarcasm, causing Li Nanting to furrow his brows. He turned away and said, If you dont want to help, just forget it. I wont disturb you.

After saying this, Li Nanting walked away.

Shen Lans eyes twitched slightly, and she angrily scolded Li Nantings retreating figure, Li Nanting, youre just a coward! Get lost! Get out of here! Are you even a man?

Li Guanqi quietly followed his master. For some reason, he felt that his posture seemed somewhat hunched. After tonight, Li Guanqi felt that most of the rumors about his master and the Heavenly Water Peak Master were probably true.

When Li Guanqi and Yu Suian returned to Li Nantings courtyard, the elder was alone, quietly drinking. Li Guanqi sat quietly nearby. During their time as master and disciple, the elder had done a lot for him.

Li Guanqi remained silent for a long time and finally spoke softly, Master.

Yes?

I want to temporarily leave the inner sect.

What?

The elder put down the wine jug, and his voice suddenly rose. Then, Li Nanting furrowed his brow and said in a deep voice, I wont allow it! Is it because of the recent rumors within the sect? Humph! You dont need to concern yourself with those. Just focus on your cultivation, and leave the rest to me!

Li Guanqi scratched his head and said softly, Its not because of those rumors. I dont care about rumors. Its just I dont want to see Master in such a difficult position. I know how much pressure youve been under recently.

Even after my fall down to the first layer, Im still enjoying many privileges as an inner sect disciple. Even though no one says it openly, I know that many disciples resent my special treatment.

Ill only be at the outer sect until its time for the sects assessment. Ill naturally return to the inner sect.

The young mans words were very light, but Li Nanting, after a moment, opened his mouth and didnt say anything. Because when the young man looked at him, it was clear that his eyes were determined. He could sense what the young man wanted to say.

Trust me.

The elder took a few sips of wine, and then said softly, Alright.

But if you encounter any problems in the outer sect, you can still come and talk to me.

The young man nodded with a smile. The elder suddenly spoke, Would you like some wine?

The young man waved his hand and said, No worries. Theres no need for wine when Im free from worries.

The elder laughed heartily at the response, saying, Youths have a carefree heart, not knowing the value of wine. Very well!

Early the next morning, Li Guanqi closed the door of his courtyard and went directly to Heavenly Cauldron Peak, where the outer sect disciples resided. This matter wasnt publicized, but it wouldnt remain a secret for long.

His new residence was completely different from his villa as an inner sect disciple. It was a dilapidated wooden hut with only a shabby bed and nothing else. The area behind Heavenly Cauldron Peak was desolate, with rows of run-down wooden huts.

After settling in, Li Guanqi went straight to the task pavilion at Heavenly Pillar Peak. He had already used up the spirit stones he had received as rewards, so he needed to find a way to earn more spirit stones to assist in his breakthrough.

However, when he arrived at the task pavilion, he noticed many sect disciples crowded around, creating a noisy and chaotic scene. Through the gaps in the crowd, Li Guanqis expression darkened.

It was because he recognized the person kneeling on the ground!
