If Yu Linglong had not told him back then, he would not even have known that he was on the list.
So what if Dao Zheng had said it?
Who did Dao Zheng think he was?
Even if what Dao Zheng said were important because they were commands, did he have to go just because Dao Zheng had asked him to?
Xuan Yi could not be bothered.
The disciples silently understood Xuan Yi's attitude. Xuan Yi was their master, and he had taught them by example. They were disciples, and they were always learning.
"Master's taoist heart is firm and will not be affected by any external matters."
As lights flickered from the bright blueish moon, the disciples sighed in admiration for Xuan Yi. They could see Xuan Yi's enormous state of calmness and knew that they would not be as calm if they were him.
"Only with Xuan Yi's firm devotion to sword, can he practice to become a truly peerless sword immortal."
