Chapter 0091 – The Human Heart – Absolute Return

Sect Leader Feng Tian sat alone by the window, looking at the Qing Xian practicing martial arts in the courtyard, his mind was filled with thoughts.

Since officially taking over the position of Soul Regenerating Demon Sovereign, although Qing Xian’s cultivation time had decreased a lot, her strength had still soared, showing how talented she was in Soul Regenerating Techniques.

Windy Sky Sect Master rubbed the “Ten Thousand Years Cold Iron Dagger” in his hand, but his eyes fell on the empty shelf in the corner.

There, many of his magic treasures were once placed, but now, only this dagger was left, lying alone.

“It’s just a matter of letting bygones be bygones.”

He took a deep breath and forced himself not to remember what had been lost.

Once upon a time, in order to guard these magic treasures, he was on edge all day long, even going out for a cup of tea.

Instead, now he could take this dagger and wander the world without a care in the world.

“Give up to be free.”

This statement, nowadays, seems so apt.

“Master, disciple will practice here today.”

Green Immortal collected his power and stood up, walking over to Sect Leader Windy Sky and said respectfully.

“Well, hard work.”

Sect Leader Windsky nodded, but his gaze always fell on Qing Xian’s body.

“Master ……”

Qing Xian hesitated for a moment, but still couldn’t help but ask:

“When will you, when will you be able to pass on your true mastery, to a disciple?”

To this day, Sect Master Windsky had not taught his own watchful skills to Green Fairy.

“Green Fairy, why are you in such a hurry?”

Sect Leader Windsky looked at Qing Xian and asked.

“The disciple’s strength is low, so naturally his heart is anxious.”

Qing Xian lowered her head, a few hints of helplessness in her tone.

She, in order to obtain the position of Soul Regenerating Demon Dignity, had gone so far as to kill her own senior brother, and although at the beginning, those of Simon the Snow Blower’s old division had treated her with respect, with the passage of time, their reverence for her had gradually faded.

She had to come out stronger to deter the stupid ones.

What’s more, that guy Situ Zhong, too, was always pestering her.

At one time, she was also quite fond of Situ Zhong, but ever since she had become a Soul Regenerating Demon, her attitude towards Situ Zhong had changed drastically.

She began to loathe his attentiveness, his pandering, and even, she began to move to kill.

“You, what kind of Demon Lord do you want to be?”

Sect Leader Windsky looked at Qing Xian and asked.

“Right now, disciple only wants to improve his strength, other than that, disciple doesn’t dare to wish for it.”

Qing Xian shook her head, a few bitter notes in her tone.

“With your talent and my teaching, in less than thirty years, you will be able to surpass me and become the new generation of Windy Sky Sect Master, how about that?”

Sect Leader Feng Tian looked at Qing Xian and said with a smile.

“Disciple, I’m afraid I’ll have to put in ten times more effort than my master to do so.”

When Qing Xian heard this, her heart was shocked and she hurriedly said.

“Haha, with your words, I’m relieved!”

Sect Leader Windsky laughed out loud, clearly very satisfied with Qing Xian’s answer.

“Master, disciple is just joking, in fact, disciple has to put in twenty times more effort than master to do so.”

Seeing that Sect Leader Feng Tian was in a good mood, Qing Xian braved it and made another joke.

“Haha, good! Good! Good!”

Sect Leader Feng Tian laughed even more happily, this was the first time he had chatted so easily since he had met Qing Xian.

Qing Xian looked at Sect Leader Feng Tian, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

It turned out that Master He, too, had such a down-to-earth side.

“Qing Xian, you should have heard that I’ve recently run into some trouble.”

Sect Leader Feng Tian put away his smile and looked at Qing Xian, slowly saying.

He didn’t say it explicitly, but Qing Xian naturally understood that he was referring to the matter of him giving up his position as Sect Leader and turning to Sword Wuji.

“The disciple knows.”

Green Fairy nodded and didn’t say anything more.

“Do you, by any chance, think I’m stupid?”

Sect Leader Windsky looked at Qing Xian and asked.

“The disciple wouldn’t dare.”

Green Fairy shook her head and said:

“The Master’s choice is one that the disciple cannot understand but greatly admires.”

“Admiration? You’re mocking me, aren’t you?”

Sect Master Windsky smiled to himself.

“The disciple wouldn’t dare.”

Green Fairy said in a hurry.

“Master, why do you degrade yourself so?”

“Because, I know, in your heart, you must be laughing at me.”

Sect Leader Windsky looked at Qing Xian with a bit of bitterness in his tone.

“Master, disciple really didn’t.”

Qing Xian looked at Sect Leader Feng Tian and said seriously.

“Disciple just feels that Master’s choice is one that disciple could never make.”

“That’s why you despise me even more, isn’t it?”

Sect Leader Windsky looked at Qing Xian and asked.

“No, the disciples didn’t.”

Green Fairy shook her head and said:

“Disciple just thinks, Master, that you are too kind.”

“Kindness?”

Sect Leader Windsky froze when he heard this.

“Yes, it’s kindness.”

Qing Xian looked at Sect Leader Feng Tian and said seriously.

“You gave up the foundation you had worked so hard for years for an unrelated person, what is this if not kindness?”

Sect Master Windsky was silent, he had never thought that he would be evaluated as “kind” by a junior.

“Qing Xian, I’m telling you this today because I want to tell you that while martial arts are important, what’s more important than martial arts is the human heart.”

“Human hearts?”

Qing Xian looked at Sect Leader Windy Sky in disbelief.

“That’s right, it’s hearts and minds.”

Sect Leader Windsky looked at Qing Xian and said seriously.

“You have to learn to recognize people and learn to see through people’s hearts, so that you can be invincible in the jianghu of deceit.”

“Master, disciple understands.”

Qing Xian nodded, keeping Sect Leader Feng Tian’s words in mind.

“Well, go on down, I’m tired.”

Sect Leader Feng Tian waved his hand, signaling Qing Xian to retreat.

“Yes, Master.”

Qing Xian respectfully bowed, then turned around and left.

Sect Leader Windsky looked at Qing Xian’s departing back, a trace of complex emotions flashing through his eyes.

Could he, really, change Qing Xian’s mind?

“Hopefully, it’s not too late.”

He muttered, a worried look in his eyes.

……

“Sect Leader Feng Tian, goodbye!”

A familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
