After leaving Qinghe City, Jiang Qingyi and the others flew toward the direction of the Zhou Kingdom's capital.

For the Ten Thousand Swords Sect Master, a cultivator of the Ascension realm, if she wanted to travel to the Zhou Kingdom's capital, it would take at most three days but she did not do so.

This was not because Huang Wei and Qiu Ye were only at the Nascent Soul realm.

It was simply because in the heart of this Ten Thousand Swords Sect Master, there was some uneasiness.

Three thousand years.

She had been searching for three thousand years already.

She had received news about him countless times but every time, when she thought she was about to find him, the person she saw was not him.

Countless hopes, countless disappointments had gradually numbed her heart.

This time, it was calculated by the City Lord of Tianji City.

The City Lord of Tianji City had the world's greatest divination abilities but "calculation" was ultimately just "calculation."

No matter how powerful a person's divination abilities were, there was always the possibility of miscalculation.

Just as the Ten Thousand Swords Sect Master's thoughts were complicated, she saw mountain ranges embracing each other on the left front.

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect Master's expression slightly froze, then she flew toward the mountain ranges.

Flying above the mountain ranges, a sea of flowers came into the Ten Thousand Swords Sect Master's view.

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect Master's eyes flickered, and her figure gradually descended.

Huang Wei and Qiu Ye exchanged glances, not knowing what was wrong with their sect master, and could only follow her down.

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect Master came to this sea of flowers.

She walked forward step by step.

This place was surrounded by mountains on all sides, forming a basin in the middle.

In the center of the flower sea was a azure blue lake.

Finally, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect Master stopped in front of that lake.

In front of this lake, there was a stone.

Characters were carved on the stone.

However, due to the passage of time, the characters on the stone had become blurred and unclear, and even this stone had weathered beyond recognition.

"Sect Master, what is special about this stone tablet?" Qiu Ye walked in front of the sect master and asked curiously.

"Do you know what this place is called?" The Ten Thousand Swords Sect Master raised her eyes, and in her clear eyes, the pristine lake water was reflected.

Qiu Ye turned to look at Elder Huang, who shook his head, his eyes seeming to say, "Don't ask me, I don't know what this place is called either."

"This place is called 'Flower Cloud Sea.'" The Ten Thousand Swords Sect Master told her sword attendant.

"Flower Cloud Sea," Qiu Ye softly recited. "What a beautiful name. Did you give this name, Sect Master?"

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect Master shook her head, "A man gave it this name."

"A man?" Qiu Ye asked in confusion.

What kind of man could be remembered in the sect master's heart?

"A man I must kill with my own hands!"

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect Master's pale, delicate fingers gently caressed the carved marks on the stone.

Qiu Ye looked again and again, and from those blurred carved marks, she seemed to faintly make out the character "Xiao."

"Master, this place is so beautiful. Really so beautiful..."

The young girl called out happily, and her voice echoed through the valley.

In the sea of flowers, Jiang Qingyi fluttered about like a butterfly.

After being out for a year, this was the first time Jiang Qingyi had seen such a beautiful place.

"Master, come quickly!" Jiang Qingyi shouted loudly to her master behind her.

"Coming." Xiao Mo walked forward step by step, following behind his disciple.

"Wow, this lake water is so blue."

Jiang Qingyi walked to the edge of the lake water, as if this was not a lake, but rather a piece that some immortal had torn from the azure sky and spread in the middle of this flower sea.

"It is indeed quite blue." Looking at this beautiful scenery, Xiao Mo nodded.

"Master, what do you think about us two living in seclusion here?" Jiang Qingyi turned around with her hands clasped behind her back, looking sweetly at her master. "This place is surrounded by mountains on all sides, without even a small path leading to the outside world. The Blood Butterfly Pavilion definitely won't be able to find us."

"Silly girl." Xiao Mo reached out his hand and gently tapped Jiang Qingyi's head.

Jiang Qingyi made an "oww" sound and held her head with both hands, "Master, it hurts. And I'm not silly."

"You said there's no small path leading to the outside world? Then Master asks you, how did we get in?"

"Of course we flew in!" Jiang Qingyi said cheerfully.

Because Xiao Mo and Jiang Qingyi were being pursued, and the horse carriage was too slow, half a month ago, after they were first discovered by the Blood Butterfly Pavilion, they decisively abandoned the carriage.

"You also know we flew in." Xiao Mo smiled. "Then tell me, can't the cultivators of the Blood Butterfly Pavilion fly?"

"..." Jiang Qingyi pouted. "Really, that damned Blood Butterfly Pavilion is like a dog-skin plaster. I still wanted to live in seclusion with Master."

"Alright, after looking a bit more we have to leave. Those people from the Blood Butterfly Pavilion are probably about to catch up."

"Master wait, let's give this place a name, shall we?" Jiang Qingyi said delightedly.

"What's the point of naming this?"

"Give it one, Master, please give it a name. This place is so beautiful..."

"Fine, fine." Xiao Mo thought for a moment and casually came up with a name. "Then let's call it Flower Cloud Sea."

"Flower Cloud Sea, mm! Let's call it Flower Cloud Sea!"

As she spoke, Jiang Qingyi drew the Xuanshuang longsword and carved several large characters on the stone by the lake:

[Flower Cloud Sea - Master Xiao Mo and disciple Jiang Qingyi visited here.]

After carving, Jiang Qingyi clapped her small hands, "Master, from today on, this place will be our secret base! Only we two know about it.

Disciple has heard that after people die, they will reincarnate.

After reincarnation, they forget everything.

If one day, I reincarnate, or Master reincarnates, and we come to a place like this, we must remember each other!

At that time, I'll still be Master's disciple."

"Let's forget about that." Xiao Mo shook his head.

"Eh?" Jiang Qingyi grabbed her master's arm. "Master, why forget about it? Doesn't Master hope to remember Qingyi?"

"It's not that, I just think being your master is a bit tiring." Xiao Mo flicked Jiang Qingyi's forehead. "I want to relax in my next life."

"I see! That's no problem!"

Jiang Qingyi hugged Xiao Mo's arm and rested her head on Xiao Mo's shoulder.

"If there comes such a day, Master won't have to be the master anymore. Qingyi will become Master's master."

"Alright." Xiao Mo rubbed her head. "Then in the next life, Master, please take good care of me and don't let other senior brothers and sisters bully me."

"Master won't have other senior brothers and sisters."

"Why?"

"Because in this life, Master only has me as a disciple."

Jiang Qingyi's eyes curved into crescents.

"So in the next life, Qingyi will only have Master..."
