After Elder Qian left, the third person who arrived surprised Yang Chen.
The one entering the courtyard was a woman, dressed in Canghai Sect’s attire, with several flowing streams painted on her clothes, creating an indescribable artistic conception. It seemed as if from the moment one looked at her, a gentle breeze would hit their face.
This woman was from the Canghai Sect.
When he saw this woman, Yang Chen fell into thought and spoke, “Senior, are you He Qiushui of the Canghai Sect?”
“You recognize me?” He Qiushui raised her eyebrows and spoke softly.
When Yang Chen heard her admit that she was He Qiushui, his figure hesitated, and he immediately said, “I have admired the Canghai Sect since I was a child. I heard from my family elders that the Guardian Spirit Array, which has been in charge of sealing demonic beasts for generations in the Canghai Sect, is well known to me.”
At first, he didn’t know that she was He Qiushui, but merely observed her clothing and deduced that she was from the Canghai Sect.
He Yunxiao hadn’t told him about He Qiushui’s appearance before his death. Thinking that there weren’t many powerful women in the Canghai Sect, he guessed that she was He Qiushui.
At the moment, He Qiushui’s aura was gentle and her exquisite appearance matched her well. No wonder He Yunxiao did not forget her even in death, fearing that He Shangfeng might take advantage of her.
However, although she admitted to being He Qiushui, Yang Chen was not in a hurry to reveal He Yunxiao’s affairs.
This matter had to be treated with extreme caution and could not afford any carelessness.
People’s hearts could change. He Qiushui was fine when she knew He Yunxiao, but who could guarantee that she was fine now?
What if He Qiushui had already become like He Shangfeng at this point? If he told her about He Yunxiao’s affair, and she wanted to kill him after learning the truth, what could he do?
He wasn’t going to mention it right now but was slowly probing instead.
On the contrary, He Qiushui smiled faintly, “Those are just exaggerated rumors from the outside world. Since the Canghai Sect is located in North Mountain County, we naturally have to shoulder this responsibility.”
The Guardian Spirit Array was not a particularly secret matter, and most Imowledgeable people were aware of it. He Qiushui was not surprised that Yang Chen knew about it.
Listening to He Qiushui’s words, Yang Chen quickly shook his head, “It’s different. I’ve always admired the former Sect Leader of the Canghai Sect, Senior He Yunxiao. I’ve heard from my family elders that Senior He Yunxiao had unparalleled skills, and has guarded the Guardian Spirit Array for countless years with diligence and without any slack.”
As these words fell, He Qiushui’s expression changed abruptly, but then it calmed down. She looked deeply at Yang Chen, “Do you truly believe this?”
Seeing He Qiushui’s intense reaction, Yang Chen observed her more closely and then said, “I’ve always regarded Senior He Yunxiao as my role model.”
“Hehe… But he betrayed our Human Race, colluded with the Fire Essence Beast, tried to open the Guardian Spirit Array, and let the demonic beasts into our human territory. In the end, his cleverness was his downfall. Everyone knows about this; you should know something too. Even so, do you still admire him?” He Qiushui’s expression turned cold, and for a moment, she became extremely cold.
Yang Chen shook his head, “I haven’t seen it and don’t think it’s the truth.”
“Have you seen He Yunxiao guarding the Guardian Spirit Array then?” He Qiushui asked solemnly, “Little child, you weren’t even born then.”
Yang Chen replied calmly, “Indeed, I haven’t seen it, but I trust my intuition. I think Senior He Yunxiao is an upright person, not a despicable one! Speaking of which, I’ve heard that Senior He Qiushui is Senior He Yunxiao’s Junior Sister.
How did you view Senior He Yunxiao back then?”
Upon hearing this, He Qiushui closed her eyes, seeming not to want to show any ugliness in front of a junior. Soon, she returned to her original appearance, “My senior brother has been dead for many years, and I don’t want to bring up this matter again. Yang Chen, regardless of what kind of person my senior brother was, I am very gratified that you can admire him. In view of that, what do you think of our Canghai Sect? Are you interested in joining us?”
“What conditions will Senior offer?” Yang Chen asked straightforwardly.
He Qiushui looked at Yang Chen without any intent to hide or evade, feeling a bit surprised.
Yang Chen was really forthright.
However, Yang Chen could be forthright.
Sect Leader Mb Båishéng of the Yuanshan Sect personally came to win him over, so it was normal for people to ask him for conditions.
He Qiushui calmly said, “I can accept you as my direct disciple. Although I cannot promise your future prospects in the Canghai Sect, I can assure you that as long as I, He Qiushui, am in the Canghai Sect, no one in North Mountain County will dare to bully you.”
Yang Chen tentatively said, “Senior He, it is rumored that you and Senior He Shangfeng of the Canghai Sect are married. If I were to become your disciple, shouldn’t I have a chance to compete for the position of Young Master of the
Canghai Sect in the future?”
Having said that, Yang Chen calmly looked at He Qiushui.
His words were naturally a test.
He Qiushui’s expression became increasingly dissatisfied. Her face turned cold, and she rebuked harshly, “Yang Chen, I didn’t expect you to be so ambitious. It’s good to have ambition, but I don’t like ambitious disciples. Moreover, my relationship with He Shangfeng is a marriage of rumors only!”
Hearing this, Yang Chen chuckled.
His words just now were actually the final test.
He had tested her several times before, starting with his admiration for He Yunxiao to observe He Qiushui’s expressions. What was the purpose?
It was to observe He Qiushui’s expressions.
On He Qiushui’s face, there was only the pain of He Yunxiao’s betrayal, not the hatred and other expressions. This showed that He Qiushui still had deep feelings for He Yunxiao. In addition, he had just tentatively mentioned that He cuusnul ana He snangreng were a marrlea couple.
He Qiushui took the initiative to say that it was a rumor, trying hard to clear up this relationship, showing that He Qiushui and He Shangfeng had a general relationship.
He had no intention of joining the Canghai Sect from the beginning and had been testing her all along.
Yang Chen’s mouth curved slightly, “It seems that Senior He Qiushui and I are on different paths and cannot work together.”
“It seems so indeed!” He Qiushui sighed, “Yang Chen, do you truly adore my Senior Brother Yunxiao as you claim?”
“Every word I spoke is true,” Yang Chen replied without hesitation.
Looking into Yang Chen’s eyes, He Qiushui took a deep breath, “No wonder you are so similar to him. Yang Chen, although I hate ambitious people, I still want to accept you as a disciple, and I will try my best to secure a spot for you as the Canghai Sect Young Master. Are you willing to accept me as your master?” “I am not willing!” Yang Chen firmly shook his head.
He Qiushui closed her eyes, took two or three breaths, and then turned around to leave.
For someone of her martial arts cultivation, attempting to win over Yang Chen was already a loss of face. Now that she had been rejected by him, she naturally wouldn’t continue to embarrass herself and was ready to leave.
However, just then, Yang Chen hesitated for a moment and then slowly said,
“Senior He, don’t you want to know why I am so similar to Senior He Yunxiao?”
