CHAPTER 195: CHAPTER 299: CAN’T HAVE THIS SISTER ANYMORE

The surroundings suddenly seemed to quiet down.

It was so quiet that you could hear the wind.

"Disciple Wang Junze, willing to join the Profound Moon Sword Sect!"

Facing away from the direction of Sword Peak, Su Yuwei vaguely heard Wang Junze’s voice. Her throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of reverse blood surged up. Her lips were stained with fresh blood, but she forcefully swallowed it down.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Unbeknownst to her, Lu Qing had quietly walked over and stood beside Su Yuwei, asking softly.

"It’s nothing, just an old injury flaring up again."

Reaching out to wipe away the bloodstain on her lips, Su Yuwei’s expression once again turned cold.

"Miss, why go through this? Just explain it to him." Lu Qing said with a bitter smile.

"Explain what?"

With an indifferent expression, Su Yuwei retorted with a tone of sarcasm, "Explain that after I return to the Capital City, I’ll be leaving the Judgment Department, or say that... besides being Princess Changlin, I’m also the Empress’s appointed Princess Consort Yu?"

"..."

"I know he will look for you. You’re not allowed to explain a single word more to him!" Her eyes fell on Lu Qing, and Su Yuwei spoke again.

"... Okay!"

With a bitter smile, Lu Qing naturally didn’t dare to go against Su Yuwei’s wishes and could only agree.

In the distance, Wang Junze had already bowed down with respect.

"Good! Three days from now, we will hold the initiation ceremony, and you shall become my closed-door disciple."

A radiant smile appeared on Zhou Dongfei’s face as he laughed heartily.

"Congratulations, Brother Wang!"

"That’s great, we have another junior disciple!"

"Congratulations to Sect Leader Zhenren on gaining such a fine disciple!"

"..."

Su Yuwei just stood quietly by the mountainside, appearing somewhat out of place with the clamor over there.

...

Soon, Wang Junze and the others were arranged to stay on Sword Peak.

Actually, if it were just a simple initiation, there would be no need for any initiation ceremony, but this time was different. Wang Junze not only ascended the Sword Tier but also had the Sect Leader personally accept him as a disciple, making it naturally different.

Both Wang Junze and Su Yuwei were injured, but under the regimen of various spirit medicines, three days were enough for them to recover.

In the evening, when Wang Junze went to find Lu Qing, he was similarly refused on the grounds of recuperating from injuries.

Time flows like water, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

That morning, Wang Junze put on a white robe symbolizing a true disciple of the Profound Moon Sword Sect and made his way to the Main Hall.

Wang Junze’s initiation ceremony was quite formal. Besides being witnessed by the elders and disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, Su Yuwei and Lu Qing were also invited to attend.

The intricate master-disciple ceremony naturally needs no further elaboration.

After that, Wang Junze was taken to the Changsheng Hall to light his own Life Lamp!

The so-called Life Lamp, in fact, is a wisp of the Power of the Divine Soul sealed within a lamp in a special manner. As long as the Divine Soul remains, this Life Lamp will never extinguish!

To truly know how many strong individuals the Profound Moon Sword Sect has, you merely need to look at how many Life Lamps there are in the Changsheng Hall to get a rough idea.

"Presently, in our Sect, we have a total of seventeen elders and thirty-one true disciples. However, a great portion of the elders and true disciples are not within the Sect, having gone out and not returned. Currently, within the Sect, there are only seven elders and nineteen true disciples!"

After seeing Wang Junze light the Life Lamp, Zhou Dongfei continued to explain, "Each true disciple, after their cultivation reaches the Heaven-Stepping level, can choose to leave the Sect and roam the world. So, if you wish to head to the Capital City, first concentrate on fostering your cultivation."

"..."

Wang Junze’s eyelids twitched, and he couldn’t help but feel somewhat awkward.

Indeed, he harbored thoughts of going to the Capital City. Even now, after joining the Profound Moon Sword Sect, he remains but a small figure. Without Su Yuwei saying so, he has no right to seek the truth. But once his cultivation improves, the world becomes open to him.

"Go ahead, the Commandery Princess leaves the Sect today. Accompany Qingxuan to bid farewell to her, and while you’re at it, deal with the matters regarding the relic in Jubei City. Once you’re back, you can start cultivating and strive for the Refining God Realm."

Stepping out of the Changsheng Hall, Zhou Dongfei instructed softly.

"The Commandery Princess is leaving the Sect today?"

Wang Junze was slightly startled. These past few days, Su Yuwei had been in seclusion for healing, only briefly appearing at the initiation ceremony. Wang Junze naturally wasn’t aware that she was leaving so soon.

"Go on!"

Waving his hand, Zhou Dongfei had no intention of further explanation and simply turned and left.

When Wang Junze found Su Yuwei, Luo Qingxuan and Wang Xin were already there.

"Senior Sister Luo, Commandery Princess..."

Gathering his thoughts, Wang Junze stepped forward to pay his respects.

"You’re just in time. There’s a matter I wish to discuss with you."

Giving Wang Junze a cold glance, Su Yuwei spoke calmly, "I’ve just discussed it with Xin’er. This time, I will take her away from the Northern Domain."

"???

Hearing this, Wang Junze was initially surprised, then instinctively turned his gaze toward his sister.

This, Wang Xin had not told him.

In fact, Wang Junze had previously considered how to arrange matters concerning Wang Xin. After all, Wang Xin had joined the Judgment Department and couldn’t join the Profound Moon Sword Sect anymore, plus the Wang Family had been destroyed. Wang Xin really had no good place to go for the moment.

But leaving the Northern Domain... who knows how long it will be before they meet again? Wang Junze indeed felt uneasy about his sister.

"Brother, I’ve thought it over. Joining the Judgment Department is not a trifling matter. For me... following the Commandery Princess to return to the Capital City is the best option." Walking to Wang Junze’s side, Wang Xin explained softly, "Brother is so amazing. Xin’er can’t be a burden."

Opening his mouth, Wang Junze wanted to ask her to stay but didn’t know what reason to use to make her stay.

Since Su Yuwei refused to let him return to the Capital City with her, all plans had been disrupted.

Now, he has become a lone figure.

"Let’s go, head to Jubei City first. We can talk on the way."

Luo Qingxuan spoke softly, easing the atmosphere a bit.

With a single hand’s call, the flying sword transformed into a giant sword again. Wang Junze, Wang Xin, and Lu Qing all stepped onto the flying sword, but Su Yuwei did not join them and instead flew off alone.

Having recovered her cultivation, Su Yuwei naturally didn’t need to ride on Luo Qingxuan’s flying sword anymore.

More importantly, at this moment, Su Yuwei didn’t want to have any further contact with Wang Junze.

With a bitter smile, Wang Junze sat down on the flying sword, casting his gaze towards Lu Qing, and asked, "Brother Lu, can you tell me what’s really going on?"

"What do you mean by what’s going on?" Spreading his hands, Lu Qing feigned ignorance and asked back, "Didn’t Miss already explain everything clearly to you?"

"..."

"Brother, don’t look at me, I don’t know anything." Noticing Wang Junze’s gaze, Wang Xin quickly followed up.

"???"

Are you my sister or Su Yuwei’s sister?

This sister can’t be kept around!
