I’ve Reloaded the Save File! [Transmigration] 20

20. Promise

After taking the elixir, Mo Xiao’s injuries healed quickly. The next day, she was able to get out of bed and move around normally.

When the Sect Master of the Wen Dao Sect heard that Mo Xiao had woken up, he immediately put down his affairs, changed his clothes, and personally went to Mo Xiao’s immortal’s cave to visit her.

“Sect Master,” Mo Xiao cupped her hands in a salute. Now that she was at the Nascent Soul stage, she didn’t need to perform a grand salute to the sect’s higher-ups.

“Yunmu, now that you are at the Nascent Soul stage, are you interested in becoming an elder of the Sword Pavilion?” The Sect Master’s expression was very gentle. Coupled with the white casual robes he was wearing this time, it softened his original majesty, making him look like a kind elder.

Mo Xiao hesitated for a moment. “Sect Master, I am not very familiar with the various affairs of the sect. I’m afraid I won’t be a good elder.”

“No matter. You just need to hold the title and take on one or two ordinary missions a year,” the Sect Master stroked his beard and said with a smile. “Yunmu, if you become an elder, all places in the Sword Pavilion will be open to you. At that time, you can also go to the top floor of the library pavilion and look at the sword technique manuals and rare books stored there.”

“The top floor will be open to me too?” Mo Xiao was a little surprised. The top floor of the library pavilion had always been accessible only to Spirit Transformation stage sword cultivators. Why was the Sect Master willing to make an exception for her today?

“Yes. If I didn’t see wrong before, you should have comprehended a complete sword intent, right?” the Sect Master asked.

Mo Xiao nodded. She had already used her sword intent when resisting the lightning tribulation, so there was no need to hide it.

“That’s it. If an elder of the Sword Pavilion cultivates sword intent, they can be granted special permission to enter the library pavilion,” the Sect Master was very satisfied with Mo Xiao’s answer. “What do you think?”

To be honest, she didn’t care much about resources, but she was a little tempted by the sword techniques on the top floor of the library pavilion. In her previous life, she had spent a lot of time in the library pavilion. Although she had comprehended many sword techniques, in terms of quantity, it was less than one-tenth of the entire collection.

“Senior Sister,” just as Mo Xiao was hesitating, Zuo Wuyi walked in from the door. After seeing that the Sect Master was also present, she performed a disciple’s salute. “This disciple pays respects to the Sect Master.”

After saluting, Zuo Wuyi stood directly by Mo Xiao’s side, secretly tugging at the corner of her robe and, under the cover of her sleeve, slipped a fruit candy she had made into her palm.

“It’s Wuyi,” the moment the Sect Master saw Zuo Wuyi, he was reminded of the events of a few days ago. Seeing the interaction between the two, the expression on his face changed several times before finally settling on guilt. “I was not thoughtful enough about what happened that day. I’m sorry.”

“Sect Master is joking. You were not at fault. It’s just that Martial Uncle Xuan Min’s temper is a bit strange,” Zuo Wuyi said politely, appearing extremely sensible.

“You should think about this matter for a few days, Yunmu. If you are interested, you can come find me anytime,” the Sect Master said, stroking his beard, his gaze sweeping over the corners of their robes that were touching. “I still have some matters to attend to, so I won’t stay long.”

“Thank you for your trouble, Sect Master,” Mo Xiao said, seeing the Sect Master out of her immortal’s cave before turning back.

She opened her palm and looked at the hard candy wrapped in candy paper. Mo Xiao curiously unwrapped it and popped the candy into her mouth.

Sweet, slightly sour, tastes a bit like a peach.

“What was the matter the Sect Master was talking about just now?” Mo Xiao asked, rolling the candy around in her mouth with her tongue.

“It’s nothing, just a farce starring Xuan Min,” Zuo Wuyi said, briefly recounting the course of events. “In the end, Master got angry and left. The Sect Master probably realized that what he did was inappropriate, which is why he said those things.”

Mo Xiao frowned. “Xuan Min said that on his own initiative?” In her impression, Xuan Min shouldn’t be such a petty person. Could it be that not being able to take Wuyi as a disciple had a great impact on him?

“He probably wanted to get back at me for making him lose face when I refused to become his disciple before,” Zuo Wuyi said with a disdainful pout.

Xuan Min was an incredibly arrogant person. Relying on his talent and cultivation, he always acted willfully. In her previous life, she had suffered a lot because of this. This time, being suppressed by her master, he was probably already holding a grudge in his heart. She wanted to see if he could still pass his so-called calamity smoothly without her.

“When your cultivation level is higher, I’ll take you out to travel,” Mo Xiao remembered her mission. She had to prevent conflict from arising between Xuan Min and Zuo Wuyi.

“Okay,” Zuo Wuyi agreed in one breath. “But Master said I have to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage before I’m allowed to go on a long journey.”

“Why?” Mo Xiao was puzzled.

Zuo Wuyi rubbed her nose. “Mo Xiao, what cultivation level do you see me at now?”

Mo Xiao’s gaze rested on Zuo Wuyi, a look of surprise in her eyes. “Early stage of Foundation Establishment… no, peak of Foundation Establishment?”

“You can tell?” Zuo Wuyi’s surprise was no less than Mo Xiao’s. “Did the artifact that conceals my aura malfunction?”

“…No, it’s a problem with my cultivation technique,” One must know that Mo Xiao’s divine sense was at the level of being half a step from ascension. Even if her own cultivation couldn’t keep up, she still had the perception of a Mahayana stage cultivator.

Zuo Wuyi breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good. It would be troublesome if the artifact malfunctioned.”

Mo Xiao had originally wanted to ask if Zuo Wuyi had taken some shortcut, but after thinking that the other party was like her, having started over, she suppressed her question.

“If there’s any problem with your body, tell me early, and we’ll solve it together,” Mo Xiao said after a moment of silence.

Zuo Wuyi nodded. “By the way, Master seems to have something to discuss with you. She wants you to go and see her.”

“Alright,” Mo Xiao crunched the candy in her mouth and quickly swallowed it. “If possible, don’t get too close to Xuan Min.”

After saying that, Mo Xiao felt that her expression was ambiguous and added before going out, “Of course, if he provokes you, you don’t have to swallow your anger. Just tell me directly.”

“Then will you be on my side?” Zuo Wuyi asked.

Mo Xiao did not answer Zuo Wuyi’s question directly, but gave her a look, letting Zuo Wuyi figure it out for herself.

“I knew it, you care about me the most,” Zuo Wuyi instantly understood Mo Xiao’s meaning and couldn’t help but pounce on Mo Xiao and hug her. “You have to keep your word. Whenever Xuan Min and I are at odds, you have to be on my side no matter what.”

“Alright, I promise you,” Mo Xiao agreed without hesitation.

Zuo Wuyi: “No regrets?”

Mo Xiao nodded. “I won’t regret what I promise you.”

After rubbing against Mo Xiao for a while, Zuo Wuyi reluctantly let go and stood there, watching Mo Xiao leave on her sword.

“Mo Xiao, you promised me this yourself. When I fall to the demonic path, you have to remember today’s promise,” Zuo Wuyi lowered her head, looking at her palm and murmuring softly.

“You must remember.”
