On the terrace outside the sect's secret realm in the back mountain, Xu Xiao handed over a small porcein bottle with a kind smile.

  Seeing this, Dugu Ling frowned slightly and said, "Senior Brother, this is the Longevity Pill that Master specifically left for you."

  Senior Brother, let's not give up on ourselves. If you take the Longevity Pill, you'll have another fifty years to live. After a while, I'll find you a beautiful wife, and you can retire peacefully in the sect."

  Dugu Ling looked at the elderly Xu Xiao, whose hair was white and frail, and sighed inwardly.

  Thinking back to those days, Senior Brother was so handsome in his youth that it almost shook her heart and made her lose her focus.

  Who would have thought that after a thousand years, Senior Brother would become so old...

  Sigh, thinking of this, Dugu Ling felt a twinge of sadness.

  Such a handsome man, now at the end of his life...

  Xu Xiao, seeing this, put the Longevity Pill back into his spatial storage.

  Indeed, giving it away randomly was unreasonable, and the system wouldn't recognize it.

  He looked at Dugu Ling's charming and exquisite face and sighed with a smile, "Junior Sister, I'm already so old, why look for a wife... wouldn't that just be troubling some young girl?"

  Dugu Ling comforted him with a smile, "What's wrong with being old? Senior Brother, you were so handsome back then, even now, you still have some of that charm.

  Besides, you're my senior brother, the Sect Master of the Misty Sect, and the disciple of the Grand Elder. Those young dies from prominent families are eager to marry you and form an alliance with our Misty Sect!

  Rest assured, Senior Brother, back in the vilge, your parents took me in. I won't let your family line end."

  Xu Xiao nodded with a smile.

  Although Dugu Ling was exceptionally talented and had become the Sect Master, she never forgot the kindness his family showed her back then.

  She's a good girl who knows how to be grateful.

  "Let's go, Senior Brother, I'll take you back to the Outer Mountain," Dugu Ling said with a smile.

  Misty Peak consists of two peaks, divided into the Outer Mountain and the Inner Mountain.

  The Inner Mountain is smaller and is the sect's core area, where the Inner Sect Elders and disciples reside.

  The Outer Mountain is rger, where the Outer Sect Elders and disciples are located.

  A month ago, Xu Xiao failed his tribution crossing, his cultivation fell back to the First Level of Foundation Establishment, and he lost the ability to perform sword flight.

  Therefore, the steep terrain of the Inner Mountain was no longer suitable for him to live in, so he moved to a secluded pce in the Outer Mountain to retire.

  At this moment, Dugu Ling had already summoned her flying sword, which floated in front of her. She jumped onto it first and said, "Senior Brother, hurry up."

  Xu Xiao blinked.

  His aged body shuffled forward in small steps, and without his wooden staff, he wobbled as he walked.

  "Um... Junior Sister... I'm too old to jump up..."

  Standing next to the flying sword, which was floating at waist height, he had no way to jump onto it.

  Although he was at the First Level of Foundation Establishment and still had some mana in his body.

  But his body was too old to muster any strength!

  "Sigh... Senior Brother, let me help you."

  Seeing this, Dugu Ling felt a pang of sadness in her heart. Senior Brother, being old is truly pitiful...

  She came down and embraced Xu Xiao, and then the two of them nded on the flying sword together.

  Feeling the soft and fragrant embrace, Xu Xiao instinctively moved his arm.

  "Senior Brother, don't touch randomly!"

  Dugu Ling grabbed Xu Xiao's hand and pced it on her slender waist, "Just hold onto my waist."

  Xu Xiao smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes... Junior Sister, when you get old, your limbs become a bit uncontrolble, sorry about that."

  He sighed inwardly.

  ***

  Back when they were young, although they never completed the final step, they did everything else that young couples would do.

  Just like a sweet young couple.

  Who knew that on the night of their wedding, just as Xu Xiao was about to complete the final ritual, Ji Xue arrived just in time to save Dugu Ling, who was still a virgin.

  Xu Xiao was furious.

  They had already taken off their clothes, and then he was told to put them back on and return to the sect?!

  Thinking of this, Xu Xiao felt a tightness in his chest, menting the unfairness of life.

  Such a beautiful wife, just gone like that...

  As they flew on the sword, the beautiful scenery of the Inner and Outer Mountains of Misty Peak unfolded beneath them.

  Surrounded by clouds and mist, with towering mountains.

  Misty Peak is located in the eastern part of the Coiling Dragon Continent, near the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and is the oldest cultivation sect in the area.

  "Senior Brother, don't lean so close..."

  Although Dugu Ling felt a bit uncomfortable, she didn't resist.

  In her life, she had only been so intimate with her Senior Brother.

  She had never even held hands with other men, and in her heart, she still liked her Senior Brother.

  Of course, it was the younger version of her Senior Brother.

  Now that her Senior Brother was old, she no longer had the same impulses as before.

  Xu Xiao held Dugu Ling tightly from behind, feeling nervous, "Junior Sister... slow down... Senior Brother is old, I can't handle such excitement!"

  Although Dugu Ling's flying sword flew steadily, the height was too much for the elderly Xu Xiao, who had developed a fear of heights.

  Since failing the lightning tribution and falling back to the First Level of Foundation Establishment, his appearance had become terribly aged.

  Now, he even had some old-age ailments.

  Fortunately, he didn't have dementia, otherwise, the system would be useless.

  ***

  The flying sword nded on a mountainside of the Outer Mountain, at a secluded house and courtyard, which was Xu Xiao's current residence.

  There was a road connecting to the Outer Sect Main Hall, which was convenient for his old age.

  Dugu Ling helped Xu Xiao down and looked at him, still a bit shaken. She felt a bit uneasy.

  "Senior Brother... don't worry, I'll find a good girl to take care of you in these st fifty years."

  Dugu Ling stepped forward and hugged the Senior Brother she once loved.

  His skin was already old and withered, but she didn't care, he was her family.

  Xu Xiao inhaled the fragrance from her body and sighed, "Junior Sister, you should go, take good care of the sect, I can manage on my own.

  Now that you're the head of the sect, your Dao heart must be strong. Life and death are just ordinary matters."

  Dugu Ling released Xu Xiao, took a deep breath, and nodded.

  "Senior Brother, here are a hundred high-grade spirit stones, keep them, they should be enough for your expenses for the next fifty years."

  Dugu Ling took out a small pouch from her bosom and handed it to Xu Xiao, "Once I find a good girl, I'll let you know immediately. Senior Brother, just wait for my good news!"

  Xu Xiao took the bulging pouch, his expression lighting up.

  Great, this is the startup capital for the system's return!

  "Junior Sister, thank you very much."

  He didn't refuse, as this was exactly what he needed now.

  Once he became successful, he would repay her a thousandfold.

  "Senior Brother, there are many important matters in the sect waiting for me to handle, so I won't stay long. Take care, Senior Brother!"

  With that, Dugu Ling, with a hint of complexity in her eyes, flew away from the mountainside on her sword.

  Nearby, the Outer Sect disciples climbing the mountain watched as Dugu Ling soared into the sky, their eyes filled with awe.

  "It's Sect Master Dugu! I know it! The Sect Master must have come to visit Elder Xu!"
