I’ve Reloaded the Save File! [Transmigration] 21

21. Conversation

As Mo Xiao approached her master’s immortal’s cave, she heard the faint sounds of an argument from within. Relying on her cheat-like divine sense, Mo Xiao clearly heard two sentences from inside, then stopped in her tracks, unsure whether to continue forward.

“Why can’t I? On the day I became your disciple, I said that I came for you, Master,” Yun Yu knelt on the ground, looking up at Xuan Shuang above her.

“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear those words. Go back to your own immortal’s cave and think it over,” Xuan Shuang had a headache. Hasn’t my eldest disciple always been very obedient? It’s been over a hundred years since that incident. I’ve long since treated those words as a joke.

“If Master didn’t hear clearly, I don’t mind repeating it,” Yun Yu got up from the ground. “I admire you, Master, and I want to become your Dao companion.”

“In the past, my cultivation was low, so I didn’t dare to have this thought. But now I am at the Nascent Soul stage. I hope Master will seriously consider my words,” After speaking, Yun Yu performed a disciple’s salute to Xuan Shuang, then obediently left.

Mo Xiao sensed the situation inside and subconsciously concealed her aura. Only after Yun Yu had walked far away did she dare to reveal herself.

Looking in the direction Yun Yu had left, Mo Xiao subconsciously frowned. Eldest Senior Sister likes Master? But why didn’t I notice anything in my previous life? Also, if I remember correctly, Eldest Senior Sister seems to have been injured in a secret realm, causing her cultivation to regress, and in the end… she perished.

Gathering her thoughts, Mo Xiao stood in place for a moment before continuing to walk forward.

“Master, Little Junior Sister said you were looking for me,” Mo Xiao said, standing at the entrance of the immortal’s cave.

“Yunmu is here. Come in,” Xuan Shuang had already composed herself by this time, returning to her usual elegant and gentle state.

“Master,” When facing Xuan Shuang, Mo Xiao still performed a disciple’s salute.

Xuan Shuang rose from her seat and walked to Mo Xiao’s side. “If Master is not mistaken, the sword intent you finally cultivated seems to be a little different from the one at the beginning.”

“Mhm,” Mo Xiao nodded. “This disciple had some enlightenment during seclusion, so I slightly modified the original sword intent. By using my heart as the sword, the sword intent will change with my state of mind.”

When facing her master, Mo Xiao did not hide anything. In her previous life, the way of the sword she cultivated was somewhat inclined towards ruthlessness and rationality. In the absence of Zuo Wuyi, she would have had no problem continuing to cultivate. But with Zuo Wuyi around, Mo Xiao didn’t think she could be ruthless and absolutely rational, so she simply used her heart as the sword, letting her sword intent move with her heart.

“If this kind of sword intent is used well, it will greatly increase your strength,” Xuan Shuang said, placing her fingers on Mo Xiao’s wrist to check her physical condition. “This kind of sword intent also has its unavoidable drawbacks. You must not have any regrets in the future, otherwise it will easily form an inner demon.”

“This disciple understands,” Mo Xiao raised her hand slightly, not resisting Xuan Shuang’s spiritual energy from entering her body.

After confirming that Mo Xiao had no hidden dangers, Xuan Shuang released her hand and sighed softly. “Yunmu, I want to discuss something about Wuyi with you.”

“Little Junior Sister? Is it a problem with her cultivation?” Mo Xiao asked.

Xuan Shuang nodded. “Also, Xuan Min would rather fall out with me than deal with Wuyi. I suspect Xuan Min wants to use Wuyi for something. Now that you are at the Nascent Soul stage, you should protect Wuyi more often to prevent her from being schemed against.”

“Yes, Master,” Mo Xiao readily agreed. Even without Xuan Shuang saying it, Mo Xiao would definitely protect Zuo Wuyi.

“Before you came out of seclusion, Wuyi had proposed wanting to go out and see the world, but I refused, fearing she would be targeted. Now that you are out of seclusion, if you have time, you can take her out for some fresh air,” Xuan Shuang thought for a moment and continued, “Master’s previous thinking was a bit too narrow. The path of cultivation is one where you either advance or retreat. Blindly protecting her may not be conducive to Wuyi’s growth.”

Mo Xiao didn’t speak. Hearing her master’s words, she couldn’t help but think of Yun Yu’s ending again. If Master and Eldest Senior Sister really had that kind of intimate relationship, then if something happened to Eldest Senior Sister, wouldn’t Master…

Speaking of which, during that time, Master’s mood was indeed very off. It seems she even disappeared for several years.

“Yunmu?” Seeing her disciple lost in thought, Xuan Shuang raised an eyebrow. “Yunmu, did you remember what Master said?”

“Hm?” Mo Xiao blinked and subconsciously replied, “I remember. I will protect Little Junior Sister well.”

“…” Xuan Shuang was silent for a moment. “Master was saying, if you go out, you should also invite your Eldest Senior Sister. She’s probably been feeling a bit bored staying in the sect.”

“Bring Eldest Senior Sister?” Mo Xiao looked at Xuan Shuang. “Isn’t Eldest Senior Sister going to…”

Mo Xiao suddenly stopped mid-sentence. After glancing at her master’s expression out of the corner of her eye, she continued, “Um, is Eldest Senior Sister willing to go out for training with us?”

“Why wouldn’t she be willing?” Xuan Shuang asked in return. “Did she say something to you?”

“No, I just feel that Eldest Senior Sister seems to prefer staying in… the Sword Pavilion,” Mo Xiao said, frantically searching for a topic in her mind to turn the page. “By the way, Master, the Sect Master came to see me just now and asked if I wanted to become an elder of the Sword Pavilion, and that I would only need to casually take on one or two missions.”

Hearing Mo Xiao’s words, Xuan Shuang began to think seriously. “This matter has its pros and cons. Your cultivation is a bit low. If you become an elder, some people might feel uncomfortable and cause you some trouble. Other than that, it doesn’t matter.”

“Alright, then I’ll reply to the Sect Master in a few days,” Seeing that Xuan Shuang didn’t continue to bring up Eldest Senior Sister, Mo Xiao breathed a small sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Xuan Shuang had Mo Xiao demonstrate her sword intent. After giving her some cultivation methods and points to note, she let her leave.

After successfully leaving her master’s line of sight, Mo Xiao breathed a small sigh of relief. She had almost let it slip just now. If her master found out that she had been eavesdropping outside, the consequences would be dire.

Mo Xiao could swear that she would never do something like eavesdropping on a normal day. Today was just too much of a coincidence.

Because Mo Xiao felt a little guilty, she did not immediately go to find Yun Yu to discuss the matter of traveling. Instead, she went straight back to her immortal’s cave.

Pushing open the door, Mo Xiao’s gaze quickly fell on her bed. Her originally neat and tidy bed was now a mess. Zuo Wuyi, wearing only her middle garments, was lying sprawled on it. Half of the quilt was rolled up, and the other half was being used as a pillow by Zuo Wuyi.

Mo Xiao felt a little like laughing. She lightened her steps and walked to the bedside. Zuo Wuyi’s steady breathing reached her ears.

Really, such a grown person, and she doesn’t even know how to sleep properly?
