Chapter 11 - Master will return with you.

    Within the luxurious palace, Xuan Yi sat cross-legged inside.

    By the time Gui Yiyi was brought here, Xuan Yi had already opened his eyes.

    “Elder Xuan.”

    After the mission was completed, the disciples of the Profound Sword Sect clasped their fists respectfully and left. In the huge hall, only Xuan Yi and Gui Yiyi were left.

    “Xuan... Elder Xuan.”

    “Elder?” Hearing this, Xuan Yi raised his eyebrows.

    “Master.” Gui Yiyi hastily changed her words. Her face was slightly rosy. Her small hands tightly gripped the corner of her clothes. It could be seen how nervous she was at this moment.

    “That’s right.”

    After nodding in satisfaction, Xuan Yi looked at Gui Yiyi with a playful expression and asked, “Do you know why I wanted you as my disciple?”

    “I’m stupid, I don’t know.” Gui Yi shook her head.

    Xuan Yi did not immediately reply to her. Instead, he said, “There are various types of spirit bodies in the world, such as Fire spirit bodies that are extremely friendly to fire, Sword spirit bodies that are naturally oriented to sword cultivators, and natural Overlord spirit bodies. Without a doubt, the owners of these spirit bodies are all favored by the Heavens. Similarly, they are extremely rare.”

    “According to my knowledge, in the entire Heavenly Wind Kingdom, only the third prince of the imperial family is the owner of one, the Astral spirit body. Apart from that, there are no other people in this kingdom who has one.”

    “Once they are born, they will be activated but some special spirit bodies require a certain medium to activate them.”

    “Now, you should understand why I took you as my disciple, right?”

    Although Xuan Yi did not speak bluntly, how could Gui Yiyi not understand the meaning behind his words?

    Seeing Xuan Yi’s puzzled gaze, Gui Yiyi hurriedly explained, “It’s like this ......”

    Very quickly, she briefly explained the beginning and end of the period.

    “Witherwood Gate?”

    Xuan Yi frowned. He had heard of this Witherwood Gate before. It was quite famous in Zhennan Province. Its reputation was even greater than that of the Sword Profound Sect.

    Of course, this so-called ‘reputation’ was not a good one, but a rather notorious one.

    Even the sect master was not a good person. One could imagine that the sect master would have been exterminated if he hadn’t had some strength.

    “Since that’s the case, I’ll follow you back to Half Moon City. I want to see if the Witherwood Gate has the guts to touch you.”

    “It’s fine if they don’t have the courage. Otherwise, there’s no need for the Witherwood Gate to exist.”

    Xuan Yi’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was extremely domineering.

    The Profound Sword Sect was famous for protecting their people, while Xuan Yi was even more so.

    “Ah... Master, are you going as well?”

    Originally, Gui Yiyi only intended to tell Xuan Yi the reason why she had no choice but to return to Half Moon City. However, she did not expect her master to return with her?

    “Yes, I’ll go to find out about the Ice Spirit Grass.”

    It was true to find some info about the Ice Spirit Grass, but the most important reason was Gui Yiyi’s safety. It was not easy for him to receive such a talented disciple, so Xuan Yi did not want her to be in danger.

    Even though the Witherwood Gate was weaker than the Profound Sword Sect, Xuan Yi could not guarantee that the name of the Profound Sword Sect would be able to deter them. The Witherwood Gate’s people were all insane existences.
