After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 448 The Turbulent Waves

"The matter I asked you to handle last time went smoothly, didn't it?"

"No, Uncle Wang readily took the longevity pill."

However, Uncle Wang told me not to worry so much about his lifespan, as birth, aging, illness, and death are all natural laws.

He has lived long enough and has no regrets in his life. He doesn't want to be a burden to you, senior brother. Yang Qiqi looked at Shen Xu at the end.

The death of the Grand Elder allowed her to empathize with Shen Xu's feelings for Uncle Wang.

But she also knew that what Uncle Wang said came from the bottom of his heart, and if Shen Xu was too persistent, it would not be a good thing for his future path.

"Qiqi, you don't need to worry about me. I understand what Uncle Wang said. But now that I have this ability, how can I give up so easily?" Shen Xu said with a smile.

"By the way, is anything happening at the Green Bamboo Mountains?"

"Don't worry, Senior Brother. The Green Bamboo Mountains are a remote and peaceful place, nothing will happen there." Yang Qiqi smiled as well, she unconditionally trusted Shen Xu.

"Did Qin Qing cause trouble for the Wang family?"

"After the two families explained the situation, my senior sister broke off the engagement without any complications."

Sister Qin didn't make things too difficult for Senior Sister. It's just that Senior Sister didn't plan to stay in the Green Bamboo Mountains. She said goodbye to me some time ago and I don't know where she went.

At this point, Yang Qiqi couldn't help but feel a little sad. Wang Ya was one of her few friends in the Green Bamboo Sword Sect. After she left, she lost another person she could talk to.

"It's good that she's gone. Don't be too sad. Maybe one day Senior Sister Wang will give us a surprise." Seeing Yang Qiqi's low spirits, Shen Xu comforted her.

"Qiqi, are you going to participate in the Milky Way Tide?" Bailu suddenly asked from the side.

"Sister Bai, can I also participate in the Milky Way Tidal Bore?"

"As long as I'm here, as long as you can make a name for yourself in the Heavenly River Tide, I'll find a way to let you stay and cultivate in the Heavenly River Sword Sect."

"The Green Bamboo Mountains are still too small. Qiqi, you deserve a bigger stage."

"Thank you for your kindness, Sister Bai, but I still want to stay in the Green Bamboo Sword Sect," Yang Qiqi said politely.

"You misunderstood me. I didn't ask you to leave the Green Bamboo Sword Sect and join the Heavenly River Sword Sect. I just want you to cultivate here. You don't need to pay anything."

"What? How can that be?"

"What's wrong with that? I'm not letting you cultivate in the Milky Way for free."

Qiqi, your talent is exceptional. Even in the entire Xingchuan Region, you are a top genius. Your future achievements are limitless.

If you cultivate at the Tianhe Sword Sect, you must bear the debt of gratitude owed to the Tianhe Sword Sect.

In the future, as you grow up, as long as your heart is with Tianhe, you will bring great benefits to Tianhe.

Moreover, if you want to develop the Green Bamboo Sword Sect, you can't bypass the Heavenly River Sword Sect. Those external affairs elders of the sword sect are not easy to talk to.

But if you have such a connection with Tianhe, it would be easier to get his help.

Bai Lu patiently guided her, and a hint of confusion quickly flashed in Yang Qiqi's eyes. She couldn't help but look at Shen Xu.

“I think what your sister Bai said makes sense. You should discuss this with the sect leader when you get back. I think he will agree,” Shen Xu said thoughtfully.

It's hard to say how far Yang Qiqi will grow after having a bigger stage, but it's definitely a good thing for her.

“Alright! I’m willing to participate in the Milky Way Tide.” Yang Qiqi’s eyes sparkled.

No one among the younger generation in the Green Bamboo Mountains can rival her anymore; she'd like to see just how powerful the young prodigy of a fifth-grade sect really is.

"If we can't beat Qiqi, we'll just run away. It's not shameful."

One must know how to keep a low profile and not be too conspicuous at the beginning; the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind.

After all, they're all in cahoots. If they see you're outstanding, they'll inevitably target you. Besides, your martial arts skills aren't as good as theirs, so you're likely to suffer a loss.

“I understand, Senior Brother. Master often tells me that.” Yang Qiqi smiled brightly.

"We Tianhe disciples are all very well-mannered, okay? We're not as despicable as you think. If they dare to gang up on Qiqi, I'll break their legs one by one when we get back!"

Bai Lu retorted with great dissatisfaction.

"Sister Bai is right. After I came to Tianhe Sword Sect, I found that everyone is very humble and polite, just like Sister Bai and Sister Guan. They don't have the airs of disciples from a big sect, and they are not as arrogant as the disciples of the Sword Alliance in Tianjian City."

Moreover, the Tianhe Sword Sect is exceptionally beautiful, and the Tianhe River is incredibly magnificent; I love it.

"Even Qiqi says so, so you think so badly of people." Bai Lu laughed. This girl really knows how to talk.

Hearing Yang Qiqi say these obviously insincere words without batting an eye, Shen Xu said helplessly, "Fine, I was wrong. I shouldn't have slandered you Tianhe people."

"Sister Bai, what does the Milky Way tidal bore compare to?" Yang Qiqi asked curiously.

Bai Lu smiled and then replied, "Cultivators at the Qi Condensation Realm can only participate in the Canglang Sword Tide competition on the first day of the Heavenly River Tide."

Whenever the Canglang Sword Tide occurs, the waters of the Milky Way surge, and the waves are passively condensed into countless translucent water swords. When these water swords gather together, they form a tidal sword curtain.

Nine giant Canglang Sword Platforms will appear on the river surface at that time. Disciples participating in the Tide Competition will need to rely on their skills to shatter the water swords. One point will be awarded for every hundred swords shattered, and one hundred points will be awarded for breaking the Tide Sword Curtain.

Points will be displayed in real time on the light screen above the Milky Way. Within half an hour, the top 100 on the points leaderboard will receive different amounts of Canglang Sword Crystals, which can be used to exchange for various types of items in the Milky Way.

The remaining disciples will be eliminated.

After the rankings, the top 100 disciples must dive into the turbulent waters of the Heavenly River to seize the nine Canglang Swords hidden at the bottom of the Sword Platform.

Those who successfully seize the sword will participate in the final ranking battle. The first place winner will receive the Earth-rank low-grade sword technique "Canglang Di Hai Sword", a top-grade treasure, and a large number of Canglang sword crystals.

In addition, water sword tornadoes occasionally appear among the waves of the Milky Way, hiding the Moon Spirit Silver Fish, which is rarely seen on ordinary days. Eating it can grant a brief opportunity for enlightenment.

"Qiqi, if you see her, don't let her get away."

"Wow! That sounds really interesting," Yang Qiqi said excitedly.

"Qiqi, you'll be successful as long as you snatch one Canglang Sword. As for the ranking, it's all irrelevant. Just like Shen Xu said, don't be too conspicuous."

"After all, you're not a disciple of the Heavenly River Sect. If you acquire too many things that rightfully belong to them, it will actually harm you," Bai Lu instructed.

"Yes! I'll admit defeat as soon as I get the sword!" Yang Qiqi's young face was full of fighting spirit.

"Actually, there's no need to do that." Bai Lu smiled helplessly.

"By the way, Sister Bai, will you and Sister Guan be participating?"

Bai Lu shook her head and said softly, "I will attend the ceremony at the Leifeng Town, while Guan Bi will join Shen Xu for the Dragon Soul Tide Tracing on the third day."

However, Qin Qing might participate, and you might run into her then.

"Really? That's wonderful." Yang Qiqi's eyes crinkled as if she had thought of something very happy.

"Just do your best and don't think too much about other things." Shen Xu couldn't help but advise Yang Qiqi, who seemed intent on causing trouble.

"I know, senior brother," Yang Qiqi replied perfunctorily.

Seeing Yang Qiqi's obvious insincerity, Shen Xu couldn't help but wonder just how strong Yang Qiqi really was.
