When Li Beifei woke up groggily, he found himself already dressed and lying in his room. He frowned slightly, a memory that didn't belong to him suddenly surfacing in his mind.
In this memory, there were only two people.
One was his past life, Li Beichen, whose cultivation was similar to his current state, and the other was a beautiful woman named Qingyue. What shocked Li Beifei the most was that Qingyue looked exactly like Mu Qingyi.
This memory recorded their first encounter, battles, and acquaintance on the Ancient Starry Road, as well as Qingyue's unwavering devotion to Li Beichen, following him until her lifespan ran out.
Qingyue died in Li Beichen's arms. Before her death, Qingyue said, "If there's a next life, that would be great. In this life, I pursued you; in the next life, I hope you can pursue me."
After speaking, Qingyue transformed into countless starlight particles in Li Beichen's arms, scattering across the land of the Big Dipper Star, which had not yet been renamed.
This was her and Li Beichen's homeland.
The memory ended there, but an additional piece of information appeared in Li Beifei's mind, specifically a sentence left by Li Beichen.
"This sword is called the Heaven and Earth Sword. Originally, it was meant to assist you when you became an immortal, but with your current profound opportunities, it's no longer needed."
Since it was no longer needed, it naturally had to be used when it was useful. Not only was the Sword-Eating Old Ancestor disrespectful to Li Beichen in his words, but he even dared to call himself a Sword Emperor with his mere Quasi-Emperor Fourth Level cultivation. Thus, the Seven Stars Sword Chest awakened this sword, and with a single strike, all enemies were annihilated.
At this moment, Li Beifei felt a mix of emotions. He had initially thought that Li Beichen had truly dissipated, but he didn't expect that he had left a sword on the Seven Stars Sword Chest. If he had known earlier…
"Damn it, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have bothered designing so many things!"
Li Beifei muttered. For this ten-year agreement, he had tricked and deceived Xuan Mingzi, Bai Yifei, Xia Wuji, and Li Ruoyu into joining his side. He even invited Yan Chuan, a Quasi-Emperor Peak super expert. For these ten years, he had calculated endlessly, even wagering his own reputation, but what was the result?
The ten-year agreement was entirely resolved by him alone.
From the attack of the Xuan Tian Sword Sect and the Lie Tian Sword Sect to the end, it took less than half a day. He… well, Li Beichen was also him. Anyway, no one else took action, so the matter was settled.
He had considered that Aunt Bai might take action, that the Golden Ancient Emperor might help him out of respect for the old man, that the Divine Calculator might intervene, and even fantasized that the old man couldn't bear to see his disciples and grandchildren suffer, so he would extinguish the two major sects with a slap. But he never imagined that the ten-year agreement would be concluded by his single sword strike.
Wasn't this ending too trivial?
"Let me in, I want to see if my little man is okay!" At this moment, a voice came from outside. Hearing this voice, Li Beifei immediately came back to his senses.
"This voice… Crap, isn't this the voice of that female hooligan?" Li Beifei was shocked and quickly transmitted his voice to the two sisters who were blocking Xu Jiaojiao outside.
"No matter what, you can't let her in. Just say I'm in secluded cultivation to heal my injuries and can't be disturbed," Li Beifei transmitted.
After receiving Li Beifei's transmission, the two women increased their efforts to stop her.
"Why won't you let me in? We're not enemies now!" Xu Jiaojiao asked, dissatisfied.
Liu Yanran was about to speak, but Liu Yuran spoke first.
"Young Master said he's in secluded cultivation to heal his injuries and can't be disturbed," Liu Yuran said.
"…"
Both Liu Yanran on the side and Li Beifei, who was eavesdropping in the room, were speechless.
Xu Jiaojiao was also stunned, then said, "He said that?"
"Yes, Young Master said it," Liu Yuran hadn't realized her mistake.
"Creak!"
The door opened, and Li Beifei walked out with a dark face.
"Ah, Young Master, why did you come out?" Liu Yuran asked in surprise. Didn't you say you didn't want to see Xu Jiaojiao? Why did you suddenly come out?
"Isn't it because you, you silly girl, are talking nonsense?" Li Beifei glared at Liu Yuran. If he had known, he would have only transmitted his voice to Liu Yanran. This Liu Yuran's brain was always not working well. If it weren't for him, who knows how many times she would have been deceived.
"I didn't talk nonsense. You told me to say that," Liu Yuran said, looking aggrieved.
"You…" Li Beifei was furious, but looking at Liu Yuran's aggrieved appearance, he decided to let it go. Getting hung up on such a small matter would damage the prestige of his Sect Master.
Li Beifei turned his gaze to Xu Jiaojiao and said, "Why are you in my Seven Stars Sword Sect?"
"My master and the remaining elders joined our sect half a month ago. Where else could we go if we didn't stay here?" Xu Jiaojiao said, her face full of smiles when she saw Li Beifei come out.
"Half a month ago? Joined my Seven Stars Sword Sect?" Li Beifei was a little confused.
"Yes, you've been lying in the room for half a month. During this time, I've always wanted to come and take care of you, but I've always been stopped by them," Xu Jiaojiao said, dissatisfied.
After hearing this, Li Beifei couldn't help but rejoice that he had taken Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran as his sword attendants back then. Otherwise, if he had been taken care of by you for half a month, how could he have possibly protected his innocence?
"Good job stopping her!" Li Beidou immediately expressed his full affirmation of what the two sisters had done.
"Why did you join the Seven Stars Sword Sect?" Li Beifei asked.
After hearing this, Xu Jiaojiao widened her beautiful eyes and looked at Li Beifei, saying, "Isn't it because of you? Your sword not only destroyed the Xuan Tian Sword Sect, but also killed everyone in the Lie Tian Sword Sect except for me, my master, and a few elders. Even the disciples guarding the mountain gate were killed. Our Lie Tian Sword Sect is already dead in name only. My master took us to join the Seven Stars Sword Sect."
"What?"
Li Beifei was shocked. He thought that Li Beichen's sword only destroyed the attacking enemies, but he didn't expect that it would kill all the people of the two major sects across hundreds of millions of miles.
"You used the sword yourself, don't you know?" Xu Jiaojiao said.
"Well… I was just worried that the treasures of your sect might also be destroyed by this sword," Li Beifei said indifferently. Besides being surprised by the power of Li Beichen's sword, his biggest concern was that the treasures of the two major sects were destroyed by this sword. That was a huge loss.
"The strange thing is that all the buildings in the sect are intact, only the people died," Xu Jiaojiao said.
"That's good, then it's okay," Li Beifei said with a smile.
Suddenly, Li Beifei's expression changed. He looked at Xu Jiaojiao and asked, "What did you call me just now?"
"Little man, what's wrong? I've always called you that before," Xu Jiaojiao said.
"Hmph, now that you're a disciple of my Seven Stars Sword Sect, why don't you kneel and perform the disciple's salute when you see this Sect Master?" Li Beifei's expression was extremely serious, causing Xu Jiaojiao's body to tremble.
"I… I won't!" Xu Jiaojiao said stubbornly.
"Do you know that disrespecting the Sect Master violates the sect rules?" Li Beifei looked at Xu Jiaojiao.
"I don't believe it. I read all the sect rules when I joined the sect, there's no such rule," Xu Jiaojiao said.
"Then I'll add this rule now. I'm the Sect Master, I have the final say," Li Beifei said indifferently.
"You…"
Li Beifei ignored her and instead transmitted his voice throughout the entire sect.
"From this moment on, a new sect rule is added: Sect disciples must not disrespect sect elders. Violators will be punished according to the severity of the circumstances. Minor offenses will result in the deprivation of three years' salary, while serious offenses will result in expulsion from the sect."
"Yes, sir!"
"Yes, sir!"
…
The high-level members of the sect responded one after another, and this sect rule was implemented.
"You didn't salute when you saw this Sect Master, and you even called this Sect Master a little man. This Sect Master has the right to expel you from the sect," Li Beifei said to Xu Jiaojiao with a smile. Damn it, you female hooligan have been taking advantage of me all the time, today I have to deal with you.
Who knew that Xu Jiaojiao wouldn't fall for his tricks? Xu Jiaojiao stubbornly said, "I won't, you expel me from the sect. That way, I can marry you in the future in a justified manner."
"What the…"
Li Beifei staggered and almost fell.
Li Beifei's expression turned cold, and he said, "I have no feelings for you, and I already have a wife. It's impossible for me to marry you."
"Then you marry me! Being a concubine is fine too!" Xu Jiaojiao's thinking was very clear.
"I…"
"Swish!"
Li Beifei immediately transformed into a sword light and flew towards the back mountain, which was the old man's residence and the absolute forbidden area of the sect. Without his permission, no one could approach it. Originally, it was used as a quiet place for the old man, but he didn't expect that one day it would become his refuge.
If he couldn't afford to offend her, couldn't he hide?
Facing Xu Jiaojiao, this female hooligan, he could only flee in panic.
…
