All the disciples in the field showed deep reluctance in their eyes.
Although Lou Qianxue is the same age as them, or even younger than them, she is the only surviving elder of the Hidden Sect. They have an indescribable sense of dependence on her. Now that she is leaving, they feel sad like children who have lost their elders.
"correct."
Lou Qianxue took out the token representing the leader of the Hidden Sect from her bosom: "When I joined the Hidden Sect that day, I said that I would not stay in the Hidden Sect for too long... Although many things have happened since then, I will not quit the Hidden Sect now, but I will never be the leader of the Hidden Sect."
Her eyes swept across the faces of the Hidden Sect disciples, and finally fixed on the face of Han Tang, the disciple of the Hidden Sect master: "Han Tang, you are the master's disciple, you take this master's token first."
"Ninth Elder." Han Tang shook his head and refused: "Let's give it to Senior Sister Tingting."
There was a moment of silence, and everyone looked at Bai Tingting.
The chief disciples of the other halls also nodded, "That's right, Ninth Elder, give it to Senior Sister Tingting."
"Senior Sister Tingting is not only the granddaughter of the sect master, but also the fiancée of the number one person of the younger generation of our Hidden Sect—Master. When I say number one, you are not counted as one of them," Qiu Yang said hurriedly.
"The first person is..."
Bai Tingting's cheeks flushed for a moment, and her expression became firm again. She gritted her teeth and said to Lou Qianxue, "Master, my fiancé Lin Xuanzhi is the most talented disciple grandpa has ever accepted. Brother Xuanzhi wanted to get married, but I was in poor health and didn't dare to drag him down, but I couldn't bear to refuse him, so I begged grandpa to drag him along. Grandpa told him that when he could defeat grandpa, grandpa would hand me over to him... Who knew that he would leave a letter the next day and leave, saying that he would go outside the domain and surpass grandpa as soon as possible and return to the Hidden Sect to marry me. But I didn't expect that in just a short year, the Hidden Sect..."
As she spoke, Bai Tingting thought of the destroyed Hidden Sect again, and her eyes couldn't help but become red.
Lou Qianxue handed the token to her: "It seems that Lin Xuanzhi is the most suitable candidate for the sect leader... In this case, I will leave the token with you for now."
Bai Tingting took the token and looked at Lou Qianxue sadly: "Brother Xuanzhi is very talented. When he left, his cultivation was actually on par with grandpa's. But he has been gone for so long and there is no news. I have already lost grandpa, I am so afraid that he will..."
"Tingting, don't worry." Lou Qianxue touched her head: "After I go outside the domain, I will help you keep an eye out for news about Lin Xuanzhi. If he is alive, I will bring him back to see you. If anything happens to him, I will never let go of anyone who hurt him."
"Thank you, Master." Bai Tingting said with emotion.
…
Lou Qianxue decided to leave tomorrow, and the Eagle Emperor specially held a banquet in the palace to see her off.
A faint sense of parting sadness spread throughout the banquet, and many people were drunk...
That night.
Under the moonlight, two figures stood on the wall of the imperial city.
"Girl Lou, are you sure you're leaving like this? Without telling them? You said you were leaving tomorrow!"
Lou Qianxue looked at the imperial city below her feet, a trace of emotion flashed across her beautiful eyes: "They are like this just for the practice banquet... I don't want Grandpa to see my back again when I leave..."
After saying that, she turned around firmly and said, "Mr. Bai, let's go. I will be back in two years."
Old Bai nodded: "Okay! Lou girl, the outside world is a good place, I will never let you down!"
As they were talking, the two of them flew away into the distance and disappeared into the night...
There are still two chapters to go, I will continue later.
