After hearing what Su Yuqing said, Chu Yan's face suddenly showed a look of dumbfounding.
"Aren't you happy to be ranked in the top ten?" Su Yuqing looked at him doubtfully, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her big watery eyes, which made people's hearts flutter.
"No one knew about me before, but now I have been pushed to the forefront. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me. How can I pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger in the future? How can I be happy?" Chu Yan said weakly.
Su Yuqing was stunned for a moment, then gradually, a smile spread from her eyes until it spread all over her body. She covered her lips with laughter and trembled slightly.
Chu Yan propped up his chin and looked at Su Yuqing.
I have to say that Su Yuqing is indeed very gentle. Even when she smiles now, she still gives people a feeling of gentleness and spring breeze blowing on her face.
No matter how you look at it, it is pleasing to the eye.
After laughing for a while, Su Yuqing suddenly felt Chu Yan's gaze, her cheeks flushed, she stopped smiling, and looked at Chu Yan angrily: "Are you scared?"
"A little bit." Chu Yan answered honestly.
His honesty made Su Yuqing stunned again.
Normal people would straighten their backs and say no. Even if they were afraid, they would still deny it to show their fearlessness.
Su Yuqing found that she always seemed unable to firmly grasp Chu Yan's thoughts.
"Think about it, originally I could practice secretly and improve myself. During the competition, because I was not famous, no one would be wary of me. Then I could become a blockbuster. But now, I have been ranked in the top ten.
, I am still the favorite to compete for Xuanyuemen’s spot. When the time comes for the competition, everyone will definitely regard me as a strong opponent.
Even if you only need seven points of strength to deal with me, you will use eleven points when the time comes. How can I be happy?"
Chu Yan put his hand on his forehead, looking helpless.
However, he also knew that everything must have its own gains and losses. If he defeated Lin Ao and gained benefits, he would also have to pay the price for his reputation.
Su Yuqing didn't smile this time. A trace of seriousness appeared on her face and she said, "Actually, if you make a choice, you don't have to be afraid."
"What choice?"
Su Yuqing did not answer Chu Yan's question, but said: "I originally planned to send someone to invite you over in the next few days to tell you the news. Since you are here today, I will tell you."
Knowing that this was the news Li He had mentioned before, Chu Yan straightened his body and said, "Please speak."
"I received news the day before yesterday that the lame master has... passed away." Su Yuqing bit her lip and said softly.
"Ah? Who?" Chu Yan looked confused.
Who is the lame master? What does his death have to do with me.
Chu Yan really wanted to ask this, but he knew that Su Yuqing would definitely tell him.
Sure enough, Su Yuqing then said: "I know you don't know, so I will explain it to you in detail now. Do you still remember that the last time you came here, you told me about the old man who taught you the inscription technique?
Is he blind, has a crooked nose, and is lame in one leg?"
"Ah, I remember." Chu Yan nodded, and at the same time couldn't help but murmur in his mind: No way, I just said it casually at the time with such a weird appearance. Could it be that he really is a person and you know him?
"With this unique characteristic and his attainment in the art of inscription, I was already sure that this old gentleman was the lame master of our sect." Su Yuqing said, "In terms of seniority, I should be called
The lame master is the master uncle."
"So..." Chu Yan was in a daze at the moment.
I was really just talking nonsense at the time. How could I have known that things were so coincidental? Not only did there be such a person in the world, but he also seemed to be from the sect. What was even more incredible was that he was Su Yuqing's uncle.
After coming back to his senses, Chu Yan keenly grasped a question in Su Yuqing's words.
"Su Yuqing, the sect you are talking about is..."
"Broken Star Tower." Su Yuqing said with a sweet smile.
Chu Yan heard Zhao Ji talk about the sect Broken Star Tower on his way to Yun Ao Jiang Kingdom. Later, when he was browsing books, he also saw it, so he had an impression.
Although Broken Star Tower and Xuanyue Gate are both located within the borders of Yun Ao Jiang Kingdom, they are far away from each other. They are basically at two extremes. Changqing Town is within the sphere of influence of Xuanyue Gate.
Different from Xuanyue Sect, Broken Star Tower is best at inscriptions. Immediately, Chu Yan understood why Su Yuqing was already an inscription master at such a young age. It turned out that she was from a famous family and had something
origin.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Yan also vaguely guessed what Su Yuqing meant when she said there was no need to be afraid.
"Chu Yan, the lame master who taught you the inscription technique is my teacher's junior brother. Although the lame master has not officially accepted you as his disciple, according to my teacher's speculation, you are most likely to be the last one.
I am the only one who has met him and received his teachings, so from this aspect, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a close disciple of the lame master."
"The closed disciple? The only one?" Chu Yan lost his composure for a moment, "He has no other disciples?"
"You should be able to feel that if you have been with him, the lame master has a rather weird personality. He has spent his whole life studying inscriptions, weapon refining, alchemy, etc., and has never accepted a disciple. Even before this, he had never accepted a disciple.
I have never heard of anyone he taught. Just four days ago, I received news from my teacher that the lame master failed to improve his realm and has passed away."
"Are you sure you are no longer alive?" Chu Yan asked.
"Well, the body has been found and returned to Broken Star Tower for burial." Su Yuqing said.
"Then I'll be relieved." Chu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
"What did you say?" Su Yuqing was immersed in emotions and couldn't hear clearly for a while.
"I said that would be a pity." Chu Yan quickly changed his words. He was so worried that he accidentally said what was on his mind.
If the lame master was still alive, Chu Yan's identity would be exposed immediately if he was confronted.
But now that the lame master is gone, Chu Yan no longer has such worries. Even if someone asks him about it, he can just excuse it by saying that he was too young at the time and didn't remember many things.
For Chu Yan, the greatest significance of this incident is that his talent for inscriptions and his mastery of inscription techniques finally have a reasonable origin.
And this origin has a long history, but it was inherited from the sect Broken Star Tower of Yun Ao Jiang Kingdom!
Chu Yan was thinking about this matter at the moment, but Su Yuqing thought that he was sad after hearing the news for the first time, so she gave him some time to ease his emotions.
After a while, Su Yuqing said: "Chu Yan, so from now on, you can't call me by my name anymore."
"Huh?" Chu Yan looked at the other party in confusion.
Su Yuqing raised her head slightly, with a hint of playful pride in her eyes: "From now on, you have to call me Senior Sister."
