Ye Lingyou's expression was very solemn.
She knew that on this Celestial Peak, only her master, Duanmu Jin, would go!
Moreover, her master had explicitly stated that he was going out to save the world, so her master was definitely not on Celestial Peak.
But now, there was movement coming from that place.
Faintly, there were also clinking and clanging sounds.
Moreover, there were people's voices, more than one!
That was unreasonable!
Therefore, Ye Lingyou seriously suspected whether people from the Demon Sect had infiltrated the sect, or some powerhouses with ulterior motives.
They might have sneaked in during the disciple assessment.
It was also possible that they had been in the Heavenly Nether Holy Land for a long time, or even one of her familiar elders.
Their arrival at the Heavenly Nether Holy Land was purposeful.
This time, they had finally found an opportunity to sneak into this place!
Ye Lingyou didn't know what secrets or treasures her master had in that place.
Naturally, she couldn't turn a blind eye.
"Is there a possibility that the master just happened to not go out due to some matter, and then invited several powerhouses from the sect to discuss matters there?" Xu Fengqiu raised his question.
Ye Lingyou said with certainty: "Even if the master met with some elders, it wouldn't be in that place. The master is a man of his word. If he says he will go out to save the world today, he will definitely go out. Over the years, so many times each month, without exception, he has never once said he would go out but didn't."
"Go take a look?" Xu Fengqiu asked.
"Yes, be careful. Anyone who can sneak into this place is at least at the Immortal Emperor Realm," Ye Lingyou said softly.
Xu Fengqiu also nodded.
Subsequently, the two concealed their figures and cautiously approached.
Just as they were about to get close, a loud shout suddenly came from that side, causing them to abruptly stop.
"Don't move! Nobody move!"
The two frowned sharply.
The voice came again: "I won! Hahaha!"
Xu Fengqiu: "..."
Ye Lingyou: "???"
This voice was clearly Sect Leader Duanmu Jin.
"Full flush, self-draw, winning from all three! Hahahaha!"
Xu Fengqiu: "!!!"
"I say, Sect Leader, your luck is really too good today! You can even self-draw and win from all three?"
An old man's voice came.
Another old man said: "That's right, what? Did your luck get better after taking in such an excellent disciple?"
"That Xiao Qiufeng is indeed not simple, but Sect Leader, you're really hateful. This old man competed with you for him, but you actually brought out that girl Lingyou in the end. Truly insidious."
"..."
Ye Lingyou: "..."
Duanmu Jin laughed: "Hahaha, Grand Elder, there's no way. This kid is indeed too outstanding. I won't tell you more for now. His subsequent performance will shock all of you."
"How long are we playing today?"
Duanmu Jin said: "I told Lingyou I was going out to save the world."
"Oh? That means we can play all night today?"
Duanmu Jin: "All night, we must play all night!"
Xu Fengqiu: "..."
Ye Lingyou: "..."
Ye Lingyou bit her silver teeth.
Her master said every day that he was going out to save the world.
It turned out he was hiding here with these elders to play cards!
He was simply a disgrace to his age!
He was simply a worry!
In fact, the relationship between Ye Lingyou and Duanmu Jin was quite special.
Although Ye Lingyou was Duanmu Jin's disciple,
she was his youngest disciple.
Duanmu Jin doted on her very much, doting on her like his own granddaughter.
And Duanmu Jin's style of doing things was relatively unrestrained.
Ye Lingyou would keep an eye on some of his behaviors.
Constantly reminding him that he was the master of a sect, a powerhouse, a senior with a lot of age!
Before, Ye Lingyou had complained a lot about this card game.
Such a strong powerhouse, a sect leader.
Not doing serious business, not managing the sect, playing cards with several powerhouses?
If this were known to the world, wouldn't it be utterly disgraceful?
Therefore, Duanmu Jin also clearly stated that he really shouldn't be like this.
Unexpectedly.
Her master was actually playing tricks on her.
"Cough cough."
Xu Fengqiu coughed dryly.
Ye Lingyou's old face couldn't hold on anymore.
She had confidently told Xu Fengqiu that her master was a man of his word.
She had repeatedly emphasized that that place was a very private place that her master had explicitly said not to approach.
But he was hiding in this place to play cards?
"Despicable, despicable, despicable!"
Ye Lingyou then walked over.
Xu Fengqiu followed.
Duanmu Jin looked up and saw his precious disciple.
"Cough cough, Lingyou."
He immediately looked restrained.
The three Grand Elders, upon seeing this scene, also quickly said:
"That, this old man still has something to do, I'll leave first."
"This old man too, a disciple over there is about to advance, I have to go help protect him."
"I'll withdraw first, you guys chat, ah hahaha."
"..."
The three elders ran off without a trace.
"Master, didn't you say you were going out to save the world?"
"Cough cough cough, Lingyou ah, don't misunderstand, I was going to go, but... but..."
Duanmu Jin didn't know how to explain for a moment.
"Master, your realm has been stagnant for so many years, you should be cultivating diligently, seeking a breakthrough to the Supreme Immortal Emperor, and not wasting your precious cultivation time here."
Duanmu Jin: "Yes, yes, yes, disciple is right."
"Although you say that in the path of cultivation, talent accounts for nine parts, and the remaining one part is diligence, but this diligence is also indispensable. Master, your talent is so strong, but if you don't cultivate diligently, then it will be even more difficult to advance to the Supreme Heavenly Dao."
Duanmu Jin nodded repeatedly: "I won't do it again in the future, I just had an itchy hand today, hahaha."
"I'm afraid that many times before, you were using the excuse of going out to save the world to play cards here, right?"
"Cough cough cough." Duanmu Jin coughed dryly awkwardly.
"I won't talk about you anymore."
Ye Lingyou turned and walked away.
Xu Fengqiu: "..."
Xu Fengqiu cupped his fist and then also walked away.
"Sigh." Duanmu Jin smiled, looking at their backs.
Ye Lingyou walked ahead somewhat angrily.
"So infuriating." Ye Lingyou muttered.
In fact, Xu Fengqiu knew why Ye Lingyou cared so much about this matter.
Why she wanted to see Duanmu Jin cultivate and advance to the Supreme Heavenly Dao as soon as possible.
The reason was actually very simple.
Duanmu Jin had a type of poison on his body.
This type of poison, no one in the world could cure.
And the most terrifying thing about this poison was not how poisonous it was.
But that this poison would devour a martial artist's lifespan.
Seemingly, Duanmu Jin was at the ninth rank of the Immortal Emperor, with a lifespan of tens of thousands of years.
But...
these years, having been devoured by this poison, his lifespan might only be less than a thousand years left.
After that, it would gradually devour his lifespan.
He might have less than a few decades left.
Therefore, Ye Lingyou was thinking of making him advance to the Supreme Heavenly Dao so urgently.
Advancing to the Supreme Heavenly Dao would add another ten thousand years of lifespan.
Even if there was still poison devouring his lifespan, he could still last for hundreds of years.
The difference between these hundreds of years and a few decades was still very big.
Perhaps, living for a hundred more years, he could find a way to detoxify.
That was why Ye Lingyou was angry that he didn't cultivate, didn't go out to save the world to seek breakthroughs in his state of mind and other aspects, but instead played cards here.
