Chapter 1082 Now?

For two whole hours, swords danced wildly in the mountain stream, and even birds and beasts dared not fly over the rooftops on the mountain peaks.

The air was so thick with killing intent that even the wind avoided that area.

Lord Zhao and Taoist Han stood in front of the highest wooden railing, arms crossed, chewing on candied fruit.

"That's so satisfying, so incredibly satisfying. The humiliation I suffered today has finally been resolved. In crucial moments, it's much more comfortable to have a junior brother with a similar personality."

Fangyue and Master Han, who were standing to the side, did not respond immediately.

"Why the long face? Is Xie Zheng's injury truly beyond cure? Has he really forgotten his past with his junior brother over the past few years?" Lord Zhao said with a face full of regret. "Sigh, I wonder if his junior brother will cry in anger. Thinking about it carefully, this whole thing is utter nonsense. It's just making things difficult for lovers. Could it be that they are destined to be apart?"

Master Han looked at the figures retreating one after another in the empty training ground below, but still did not say anything.

Lord Zhao looked at Fangyue, "Take a look at their marriage, is there really a problem?"

Fangyue shook her head slightly, "I looked, but I couldn't see clearly. They did have a hurdle to overcome this year, but whether they will grow old together and become a perfect couple, I don't have that ability."

"Master Han, please say something! Could it be that they're really going to break up at this crucial moment when they're about to become Daoist partners?" Lord Zhao was extremely anxious. "Could you find someone to strengthen their bond?"

Master Han then turned to look at Lord Zhao, his eyes seemingly filled with disdain.

"If you're so capable, then you go."

If even Master Han says so, it seems that things are going to be a bit difficult for the two junior brothers.

Even if they are skilled in divination, to truly understand the secrets of heaven and defy fate, one must be someone who transcends the laws of heaven...

Thinking of this, Lord Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Let's skip Longhu Mountain and go directly to my master. Maybe he can help."

"Well, that's the only way." Master Han looked up at the drifting clouds on the horizon. "I wonder if it was too fast to instill so much knowledge in her the other day."

He should have realized that her path of spiritual practice was quite different from that of ordinary people.

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages; cultivating oneself too quickly is not necessarily a good thing.

...

Another half hour passed, and Master Fenglei could no longer hold on.

He surrendered voluntarily, saying, "This matter is my disciple's fault, and I also bear responsibility. Please calm down, fellow Daoist. We can't keep fighting like this. Let's think of a solution. Perhaps there is still room for reconciliation."

Song Chunxue's attacks were fierce, aimed directly at his face.

Zhang Chengxuan nudged Xie Zheng, "You go."

Xie Zheng lowered his head and straightened his clothes, subconsciously licking his dry lips, extremely nervous.

"What's there to be cowardly about? You two are practically an old married couple, you just can't think of each other right now. Just be natural."

"However, in my memory, we never crossed that line. When it comes to matters of love, Xie is inherently timid."

"..." Zhang Chengxuan was speechless.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have become an official and only had one daughter."

“…” Zhang Chengxuan took a breath, “It’s best not to mention these things.”

"Ah... Sister Song, take a break. I've made you some tea, and the noodles with minced meat sauce in the kitchen are ready too. Have some." Xie Zheng looked at Song Chunxue, who had suddenly stopped, and his neck turned red as he awkwardly smiled. "Eating is the most important thing."

Song Chunxue then sheathed her sword.

Sigh, don't be sad. He doesn't remember your past, but judging from his reaction, he still likes you. Just think of it as falling for someone new and see if he'll still want to be with you.

Song Chunxue looked up at Xie Zheng, who was standing with his senior brothers in the distance, and felt a slight pang in her heart as sadness quickly spread through her.

Remembering that voice, she asked Wuyou, "Do you know what I heard and saw on the seventh day?"

[I know, it's all a test, you don't need to take it seriously. Since it's broad daylight and not a dream, it must be because you had the idea of ​​becoming Daoist partners with Xie Zheng. The Ancestral Master wants to test you. You must remain calm. Look at Lord Xie, with his current face, but his mentality is that of a twenty or thirty-year-old. Don't you find that amusing?]

Wuyou's voice was somewhat cautious.

Song Chunxue hesitated for a moment, then said, "What if this time, we don't end up together, and we're ultimately destined to be apart? Is it still necessary to waste each other's time? After all, he might meet a pure and innocent partner."

[Tch, you're underestimating yourself again. He has no romantic ties with anyone else besides you, don't worry about that. You're both married and have had children, so what's there to be so concerned about?]

Xie Zheng was getting anxious. "Why is she just staring at me without saying anything? Does she not want to face me, someone who has forgotten the past? But I... I'm too embarrassed to call her that... I..."

Zhang Chengxuan rolled his eyes. "You have no idea how smoothly you used to call me that before, you could say it even in front of the younger generation. Now you're all hesitant and awkward, really..."

Never mind, I can't swear.

He approached the railing and looked at Song Chunxue, who was standing below, secretly grieving.

"Junior brother, come up here." His voice was slightly deep. "We're all hungry."

Song Chunxue realized that she had delayed their meal, so she flew up to the high corridor on her sword.

After calming herself down, she walked up to them with a composed expression.

"I'm sorry for keeping you from eating. You didn't have to wait for me." Her voice was calm. "I used to get a little angry, but I'm much better now."

Master Han smiled and said, "Yes, if the anger hasn't subsided after more than two hours, then Master Feng Lei will probably have to call for external intervention."

"It's nothing serious. My disciple now knows about your past, but he just can't remember it. He blushes whenever he sees you. Don't you find that amusing?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Xie Zheng, who seemed somewhat uneasy.

"Come here, you two can talk alone. We'll go to the front hall for dinner first." Master Han sniffed the aroma in the air. "We have roasted pheasant today. It's been a long time since we've had it."

After he finished speaking, he gestured for the others to follow.

Soon, only Song Chunxue and Xie Zheng remained in the corridor.

Song Chunxue felt uncertain and, looking at Zhang Chengxuan's back, wanted to call him to stay with her.

She really had no idea what to do in the current situation.

I never realized before how vulnerable I was when faced with this situation.

"Master Zhang told me about what happened between us, but he doesn't admit that he was the one who tried to bring us together. Actually, back then, didn't you feel more for him?"

Xie Zheng spoke calmly and gently, with a faint smile in his eyes.

Song Chunxue paused for a moment, then gave a bitter smile. "So, you mind?"

Xie Zheng lowered his eyes, a darkening in them.

He looked up again, his eyes full of smiles. "But someone as serious as you, if you didn't care about me, how could you have come back to Beijing with me, met my family, stood up for me against everyone, and stood up for me, right?"

"Well, I want to make this clear. In my heart, Master Zhang is a very close relative of mine in this world. He is like an elder brother or an uncle to me. Originally, I thought that if we became Daoist partners, he would definitely take the seat of honor." Song Chunxue looked at his clothes, her voice slightly lowered.

"So what are your plans now?" Xie Zheng stepped forward and asked firmly, "Are you leaving?"
