　　A faint sigh reverberated between heaven and earth.
　　This voice was very soft, but it clearly entered the ears of everyone present, and instantly gave people a feeling of peace of mind like still water..qgν.
　　The next second, a figure walked out from the crack in the void.
　　It was an old man！
　　His hair was grizzled, his face was kind, and there was a tuft of white beard on his chin. He was wearing a simple long robe. The color had faded and there were several patches, but it was extremely clean.
The old man’s figure was not burly, and he was even a bit thin, but there was an introverted power as if he had experienced countless winds, frosts, rains and snows in the torrent of time, looking indomitable.
　　He was very old, with two sunken eye sockets, but his eyes were deep and bright, like stars, shining with the light of wisdom.
　　「Master！」
　　When Cao Potian saw the old man, his eyelids twitched violently, and then he clenched his fists even tighter, looking like he was facing a formidable enemy.
That’s right, this old man was the second—ranked powerhouse on the Ascending Dragon Ranking, the Master of Jixia Academy – Master!
　　「Whoosh！」
Master took a step in the air and appeared on the city wall of Yannan Pass. Suddenly, all the pressure released by Cao Potian seemed to dissipate.
　　「Master！」
When Ning An saw Master, his face was full of joy, and then he bent down to salute and said respectfully “Disciple pays respects to Master.”
Kong Tianxia also bent down and saluted meticulously, respectfully saying, “Pay respects to Master.”
　　Through their actions, the others also knew the origin of this old man.
　　「What, that old man is Master？」
　　「It is said that Master has not left Jixia Academy for many years. Why did he come here today？」
　　「Needless to say, it must be for his two disciples.」
　　「This is troublesome. Now that the Master has come, Senior Cao probably won’t be able to kill Ning’an and Kong Tianxia.」
　　The soldiers of the Great Wei had a sinking feeling in their hearts.
　　They originally thought that this battle was about to end, but unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the Master actually came.
　　「The Master ranks second on the Ascending Dragon List, while Senior Cao ranks seventh.」
　　「Senior Cao is not the Master’s opponent.」
　　「That’s not necessarily true. When the Ascending Dragon List announced the rankings, Senior Cao was only at the peak of the Great Sage realm. But now, Senior Cao has broken through to the Saint King realm.」
　　「The Master has been in the Saint King realm for many years and has lived for 12,000 years. His strength must be stronger than Senior Cao’s.」
　　「Don’t forget, the Master is so old, and Senior Cao is much younger than him. If they really fight to the death, the Master may not be Senior Cao’s opponent.」
　　「……」
　　The soldiers of the Great Zhou were also discussing.
　　「The Master has come. That’s great.」
　　「Now we are saved.」
　　「The Master is so kind. He will never allow Cao Potian to kill the princess and Young Master Kong.」
　　「……」
　　Niu Dali looked at the Master, and a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.
　　The Master looked at Kong Tianxia and said, 「Didn’t I say that you should go back as soon as possible? What are you doing here?」
　　Kong Tianxia said, 「Little junior sister is guarding Yannan Pass. I want to help her.」
　　The master said, “As a senior brother, it’s right to help your junior sister. But do you understand that our Jixia Academy has never participated in the disputes among the three kingdoms? What you did is equivalent to taking sides, which goes against the purpose of our Jixia Academy.」
　　Kong Tianxia said, “These disciples all understand, but…」
　　”Forget it. Since there is a reason for this matter, I won’t punish you this time. But don’t do it again.” The master then said, “Yes, becoming a saint in one fell swoop. It seems that you have gained a lot from this trip to the Great Zhou.」
　　”But don’t neglect your studies. Read more books of sages and continue to cultivate your noble spirit.」
　　”As long as you persist, you will gain more in the future.」
　　Kong Tianxia said respectfully, “The disciple will follow the master’s teachings.」
　　It was not until this time that
　　the master’s eyes fell on Ning’an, and they suddenly became soft. He said kindly, “Your father is also. For no reason, he asked you, a woman, to guard the checkpoint. What if something happens？」
　　Ning’an said, “The disciple, as a member of the royal family, should step forward when the country is in trouble.」
　　The master asked, “Aren’t you afraid of death？」
　　”Yes！” Ning’an said, “But I have no way out. For the sake of the soldiers and the people of the Great Zhou, even if I’m scared in my heart, I can’t back down.」
　　”If I really die here, then I will die without regret. Dying to protect my homeland is a worthy death.”
　　Saying this, Ning’an laughed and said, “Besides, Master, didn’t you come？ Are you going to stand by and watch me die？」
　　The Master reached out and affectionately scraped Ning’an’s delicate nose, smiling and saying, “Did you calculate that I would come？」
　　”Not really.” Ning’an smiled and said, “I’m not a worm in Master’s stomach. How could I know that Master would come？ However, since Master loves me and Senior Brother so much, I think when we are in danger, you will definitely show up.」
　　The Master smiled and said, “So your father sent you to guard Yannan Pass, also guessing that I would appear？」
　　Ning’an knew that her father’s little thoughts couldn’t be hidden from the Master. Immediately, she took out the personal letter written by the Emperor of Great Zhou and handed it to the Master.
　　「Master, before the army set off, Father wrote a personal letter and said that if I saw you, I should hand it over to you.」
　　The Master took the letter, opened it and took a glance, then stuffed the letter into his sleeve.
　　「Master, what did Father say in the letter？」 Ning’an asked curiously.
　　Dong！
　　The Master gently knocked on Ning’an’s head and said, “Children should not inquire too much about adults’ affairs.」
　　Ning’an pouted and said, “Disciple is not young anymore.」
　　「Yes, you are not young anymore. You are almost getting married.」 The Master said, “It’s just your future husband…」
　　「What’s wrong with Chang Sheng？」 Ning’an looked nervous, thinking that the Master didn’t like Ye Qiu.
　　The master smiled and said, “Your future husband is a good choice.」
　　Hearing this, Ning’an’s smile was as beautiful as a flower, and she said proudly, “Of course, my vision is extremely sharp.」
　　The master smiled and said, “Look how happy you are.」
　　「By the way, master, Chang Sheng said that he wants to meet you when he has the opportunity.」 Ning’an said.
　　The master said, “We’ll meet when there’s an opportunity. For now, let’s solve the current matter！」
　　After saying that, the master glanced at Niu Dali and nodded slightly.
　　「Greetings, master.」 Niu Dali quickly lowered his head, feeling a sense of being seen through.
　　Rumble——
　　Just then, the Great Emperor Battle Array in the void shrank back into the clouds and disappeared.
　　When the master was talking to Ning’an, Cao Potian had been standing in the void, not making a sound or interrupting.
　　A　moment　later.
　　The master turned around, looked at Cao Potian, and cupped his hands, saying, “Patriarch Cao, long time no see.」
“Junior greets master.” Cao Potian cupped his hands in return. For this highly respected model of scholars in Zhongzhou he called himself a junior, showing great politeness. Then he continued, “After parting ways that year, we haven’t seen each other for a thousand years. The master still looks as good as ever. I wonder what brings you here today?
　　The master smiled and said, “Stop the war！」
