The Sword Immortal heard this, and the smile on her face gradually blossomed.

But she also knew that after all, Bu Gui Ren was his elder’s grandson, blood was thicker than water.

No matter how outstanding she was, the elder would never place her above his grandson.

"Bu Qi the Elder, don’t say that. Maybe he’s just temporarily immature, but as he gains more experience, he will surely become sensible."

The Sword Immortal smiled as she spoke.

Bu Qi the Elder heard this and shook his head outright.

"I used to think like you do, alas, but he has disappointed me greatly."

Bu Qi the Elder shook his head and sighed.

Thinking of Bu Gui Ren’s character.

This grandson is simply not human, even worse than an animal.

Even a crow knows the grace of feeding back.

But this man...

Recalling what he had done in the past, Bu Qi the Elder couldn’t help but sigh.

This grandson is considered ruined, he will never achieve anything in his lifetime, and if I were gone.

He would probably starve to death on the streets.

"Bu Qi the Elder, can you tell me what he did to make you so disappointed?"

The Sword Immortal was quite puzzled.

She was very familiar with Bu Qi the Elder.

Bu Qi the Elder was broad-minded and very tolerant.

If it were a common mistake, the elder would certainly forgive it.

"This grandson, when he had no Spirit Stone and no strength, still seemed human, but once he had Spirit Stone and strength, he became arrogant as if he had changed into a different person, even his father and mother couldn’t recognize him."

"His father and mother were angered to death by him."

"Who would help such a person?"

Bu Qi the Elder shook his head repeatedly, as his grandmother, she didn’t want to help him, so who else would?

The Sword Immortal heard this, and surprise flashed across her face.

This vast world indeed has everything, she didn’t expect there would be such a person.

"Bu Qi the Elder, rest assured, I will never be like him."

"If Bu Qi the Elder can lend me a hand, I will never forget your immense kindness."

The Sword Immortal spoke sincerely.

She knew that with her capability alone, it was impossible to become the Leader of the Blackwater Alliance.

However, just handing over the position of leader to someone else was something she wasn’t willing to do.

Unless Wang Ye becomes the Leader of the Blackwater Alliance.

Bu Qi the Elder’s eyes turned, and she smiled slightly.

"Little girl, I know your intention early on, rest assured, I will cast my vote for you."

The Sword Immortal heard this, surprise flashed in her eyes.

She didn’t expect Bu Qi the Elder was one of the ten mysterious figures.

Having Bu Qi the Elder’s support brought her a step closer to becoming the Leader of the Blackwater Alliance.

"Thank you very much, grandmother, from now on Bu Qi the Elder, you are my grandmother, I am willing to be your granddaughter."

The Sword Immortal promptly knelt down.

Her heart was immensely grateful. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Bu Qi the Elder looked at the kneeling Sword Immortal, very gratified.

Although her grandson was not accomplished, fortunately, her fate wasn’t too bad, there was such a beautiful and understanding girl willing to be her granddaughter.

"You are very good, child, making grandmother very satisfied."

Bu Qi the Elder’s face was full of smiles.

As the smile blossomed, the wrinkles on her face lessened significantly.

Next, the Sword Immortal took Bu Qi the Elder to Chaoyang Peak to view the scenery for a while, and then watch a joyful occasion.

Only then did she send Bu Qi the Elder back home.

"Grandmother, I must leave, I’ll come to see you when I have time."

"Go, child, I know you young ones are quite busy."

Bu Qi the Elder waved her hand.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, Bu Qingkuang bowed and entered with his head down.

Back in the house, he nodded and bowed to Bu Qi the Elder.

"Grandmother, you must be hungry, I’ll come and prepare a meal for you."

After speaking, he ran straight into the kitchen.

Seeing this grandson, Bu Qi the Elder’s face suddenly turned cold.

This grandson must have run out of Spirit Jade, so he returned.

"Dear granddaughter, don’t be like my grandson, once you have Spirit Jade and strength, become someone even his father wouldn’t recognize, a person without virtue is doomed to a life of poverty and despair, and will achieve nothing."

Bu Qi the Elder spoke with a tone of reproach.

Bu Qingkuang’s face twitched, a hint of resentment flashed across his face.

This old hag again, talking nonsense about him, if it weren’t for needing silver from her body.

How could he possibly grovel to her?

"Hmph, once I have Spirit Jade, I’ll show you how I’ll treat you."

Bu Qingkuang’s face was full of smiles as he busied himself in the kitchen.

"Grandmother, don’t worry, I’ll never be like that, I’m leaving."

After the Sword Immortal spoke, she transformed into a white light, and flew directly toward the Blackwater Alliance.

Maple Fragrance Residence seemed to lose its color once the Sword Immortal left.

Bu Qi the Elder sat atop the building, watching the distant sunset slowly descend.

If only the Sword Immortal could become the Leader of the Blackwater Alliance in the future.

"I wonder who the other nine mysterious figures will choose."

Bu Qi the Elder could only silently pray for the Sword Immortal.

After all, these ten mysterious figures never interacted with each other, had never even met, and didn’t know each other’s names.

The purpose of this was to make the selection conference fairer.

...

Sushan.

The morning sun rose from the eastern horizon, golden rays penetrated through the dense pines, landing on the fallen leaves and exotic flowers and plants on the ground.

In the forest, there were thousands of disciples in white robes, holding long swords, practicing swordsmanship under the sunrise.

Their steps were very steady.

Each and every one appeared ethereal, like immortals.

These disciples were arranged in a pattern, resembling a formation used in military warfare.

A woman clad in a purple robe walked steadily past many disciples.

The purple-robed woman had a black belt tied at her waist, fluttering in the wind.

Her slender jade-like hand firmly grasped a Longquan Sword.

Her long hair was tied up, looking very neat.

Her face was like jade, her eyes emitted authority.

This woman’s name was Lin Yuhan, she was the Sect Leader of the Sushan Sword Sect.

The Sushan Sword Sect was established less than a hundred years ago, under Lin Yuhan’s guidance, the sect was flourishing.

Lin Yuhan walked past many cultivating disciples, overseeing their training.

When she reached the frontmost position, she was bathed in golden sunlight, appearing as if enveloped in sacred light.

She arrived before numerous disciples, raised her hand.

All the disciples immediately ceased their training.

"Over the next few days I will be visiting Blackwater Alliance, make sure to train diligently, no slacking."

She spoke with authority.

"Yes!"

After giving instructions, she formed a peculiar seal with her fingers in front of her chest.

Suddenly a giant sword formed from Spiritual Energy appeared in the air.

She promptly executed the Cloud Treading Step, fluttering like a butterfly as she landed on the giant sword.

"Let’s go!"

She effortlessly controlled the giant sword, flying swiftly toward the Blackwater Alliance.

In an instant, she arrived atop Blackwater Mountain.

She looked down at the ground, seeing a poorly dressed old man struggling to carry a bundle of firewood.

However, the bundle of firewood was too heavy, the old man’s health wasn’t good, even after exerting full effort he couldn’t lift the wood.
