"Your comprehension is remarkable, exceeding my expectations." Bai Qing's face was filled with appreciation. Baili Hongzhuang's comprehension during this time had truly astonished her.
However, besides her comprehension, what impressed Bai Qing even more was Baili Hongzhuang's persistence and effort. Her unwavering determination and relentless pursuit left Bai Qing in awe.
Any cultivator with such qualities didn't need to worry about their future achievements.
Bai Qing had seen too many cultivators who lacked nothing in talent and comprehension but ultimately failed to achieve great success because they lacked sufficient effort.
As a woman, especially a beautiful woman, individuals as dedicated as Baili Hongzhuang were few and far between. It seemed that she had truly found an excellent successor.
Thinking back, when Bai Qing was learning the technique of killing with sound, it took her a long time. She had complained and wanted to give up, but she persisted under her master's guidance.
Yet, Baili Hongzhuang had spent even less time, and she hadn't even entertained the thought of giving up.
Her will was unwavering, and at such a young age, she displayed a maturity that didn't match her peers.
"Thank you, Master, for your careful guidance."
Baili Hongzhuang smiled gracefully and bowed deeply to Bai Qing.
Bai Qing was an unquestionably good master, with no flaws in her character or temperament. She had always taught Baili Hongzhuang diligently.
It was precisely because of this that Baili Hongzhuang's progress had been so rapid.
Previously, she didn't know the true purpose of this illusion. She thought she had to break free from it to pass the assessment.
Never did she expect that the assessment would take place within the illusion itself.
"Now that you have completely mastered it, my inheritance has come to an end, and you can leave," Bai Qing said with a faint smile.
Upon hearing this, Baili Hongzhuang's expression froze for a moment. The smile that had been on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of reluctance that spread in her heart.
She had spent three years together with Bai Qing, and their relationship had evolved to that of both master and friend.
She had already grown accustomed to such days, but she had forgotten that once the inheritance ended, Bai Qing would disappear.
At the thought of this, Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but hope that this inheritance could continue indefinitely.
"Master," Baili Hongzhuang called softly, her exquisitely beautiful face filled with reluctance, and her pair of stunning eyes faintly reddened.
Bai Qing smiled faintly, "Silly Hongzhuang, such a day will surely come. My true self has long dissipated in this world. Finding you as my successor has allowed me to fulfill all my regrets."
Although Bai Qing's words sounded carefree, her eyes also shimmered with tears.
"Master, I..."
Baili Hongzhuang opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
She understood that what Bai Qing said was true, but humans were not like plants; how could they be devoid of emotions?
"Let's go!"
Bai Qing waved her hand, turned her back to Baili Hongzhuang, and a trail of clear tears quietly streamed down her face.
Baili Hongzhuang watched Bai Qing's graceful figure and felt that Bai Qing was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen in her life.
"Thank you, Master, for bestowing me with your inheritance!"
Baili Hongzhuang bent her body ninety degrees, performing a deep bow, her voice heavy with reluctance.
She saw Bai Qing's figure gradually becoming ethereal before her eyes, and that gentle and melodious voice dispersed in the air.
"Don't feel sad. It's fortunate that we met. I only hope that you will go further in the future, and may what I have taught you be of great help to you."
