Chapter 1096 A Fortuitous Opportunity

"..." Song Chunxue stared at her in disbelief, "Senior Sister, aren't you exaggerating?"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Master Han. No, Han Mo definitely knows too."

Song Chunxue nodded in realization, "No need, I believe you."

She didn't know whether to say she was lucky or that Xie Zheng was too special.

However, those people are truly depraved. They coveted her heart before, and now they're after Xie Zheng's body.

It's ridiculous and absurd.

What will they look at next?

“I think the best way is to become Daoist partners as soon as possible.” Fangyue said, taking out a booklet. “We’ve already picked a date; take a look and see which one is best.”

Song Chunxue was surprised, "Senior sister, you...you actually thought of everything so thoroughly?"

Fangyue handed her the booklet and then took out the almanac.

"Yes, you only have me as your senior sister, so treat me like family. Actually, your senior brothers are also planning for you. Didn't you enter the illusion before and get chosen by the pioneer of the Path of Ruthlessness? They think you are a good prospect and want you to give up human love."

"Master Han couldn't bear to see his disciple being betrayed and abandoned in the end, so he urged you to become Daoist partners as soon as possible, which might change the situation."

Song Chunxue raised an eyebrow. Couldn't the master be less biased?

Why couldn't it be Xie Zheng who abandoned her?

I never realized before that Master Han had such selfish motives.

They were all worried that Song Chunxue would become heartless and abandon Xie Zheng because of this.

Song Chunxue listened quietly; it seemed that Master Han knew everything.

There's actually such a story behind that situation.

She didn't want to give up either.

"The wise do not fall in love, simply because they are afraid of being betrayed and ending up battered and bruised with nothing. But there is also a saying that one envies only the mandarin ducks, not the immortals. If one can grow old together, who would want to die alone?"

As she spoke, Fangyue took out a scroll from a large box.

"The marriage certificate has already been written for you. We each wrote a line. Although Tudan'er and Changyun's handwriting is terrible, they wrote it very carefully, even sweating. You can keep it safe for now. On the day you become Daoist partners, write your names on it and then draw your handprints with your fingertips' blood..."

As Fangyue continued her rambling, Song Chunxue's vision became increasingly blurred.

When she married into the Jiang family, there was no marriage certificate, not even a date. Her children were simply brought to the Jiang family by their grandfather. It was just a change of scenery for them to eat and be treated with hostility.

I never imagined that so many people would take care of this for her at her age.

Fangyue wiped away her tears and said softly with a smile, "Why are you crying? We've seen all kinds of things. If you're so easily moved by this little thing, then you should blame your family for not spoiling you enough."

Song Chunxue also felt that she was being pretentious. She composed herself and said seriously, "Whenever you become a Daoist couple, I will also help you with your dowry and arrange this for you."

"Then you'd better not think about it. Several people have looked at my marriage line and said that I'm destined to be together but not to stay together. I'm most suitable to cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness." Fangyue lowered her voice and laughed. "So, I'm not doing this entirely for you, but to steal your destiny to cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness, my silly junior sister."

Stealing the immortal destiny from the Path of Ruthlessness?

Several questions arose in Song Chunxue's mind.

But seeing her senior's smile, she instinctively took her hand.

“What’s there to fight over? If Senior Sister can take it, it means she’s qualified. I…” She subconsciously bit her lower lip, “But I’ve heard that most people don’t cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness…”

"Yes, that's why we can't understand why you have such a predestined connection with the immortals. For a cultivator without family or relatives to rely on, this is an immense opportunity, a godsend, but you..."

At this point, Fangyue patted the back of her hand and said gently with a smile, "Do you want it?"

Song Chunxue recalled the scene she had witnessed earlier: isolated and helpless in a small space where she could see nothing.

Ultimately, her Daoist heart was not pure; there were so many things she was unwilling to give up.

"No, Senior Sister, if you really want it and can take it, then take it. I haven't reached that level yet." Song Chunxue smiled slightly. "I think it's fine as it is now."

Fangyue nodded, "Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Song Chunxue was extremely curious.

"How exactly are you being impolite?"

Fangyue smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when you see Master."

Seven days later, after a journey of several stops, they finally arrived at Mount Kongtong.

Mount Kongtong is very large. They were on a hilltop near Mount Kongtong, slowly climbing the stone steps.

Deep in the mountains and forests, there were houses and courtyards that were no less impressive than those where Master Feng Lei and his companions had lived in the mountain stream.

They finally met the Moon-Accompanying Immortal again.

The five disciples bowed in unison, saying, "Greetings, Grandmaster."

The Moon-Accompanying Immortal grinned from ear to ear, "Good, good, I'm finally here to restore the liveliness once again."

"You must be tired from your journey. Please take a bath, change your clothes, and rest first." After greeting everyone, the Moon-Accompanying Immortal instructed, "Hot water and food have been prepared. Let me take you there."

"yes."

Everyone clasped their hands in greeting.

"Junior brother, stay here with Xiao Song." The Moon-Companion Immortal looked at the two of them with feigned composure.

The others left on their own.

Xie Zheng couldn't help but turn around and glance at them from the doorway, only to be caught red-handed by the Moon-Accompanying Immortal.

He stood nervously outside the door, lagging behind to wait for them.

Inside the room, Song Chunxue looked at her master with curiosity. "Master, is there something you want to tell me?"

“Hmm,” the Moon-Companion Immortal stretched out his hand, “Take out your Worry-Free Spirit. I’m taking him to tutoring. Without him here, no one can hurt you.”

Wuyou struggled reluctantly, "Ugh, why? What lessons do I need to learn? As long as I can fight and withstand attacks, that's enough. Don't be too demanding of a sword, or I'll quit."

Song Chunxue handed Wuyou to Banyue Xianren, saying, "Because you have a mouth, your master needs to restrain you. You must know what you dare to say and what you shouldn't say. You mustn't betray us at crucial moments."

"Hmph, you're bad at it and you blame others for dragging you down. People are just selfish and self-righteous." Wuyou protested grumblingly. "Immortal Banyue, we can talk things over. Can you please not be so strict with me?"

The Moon-Accompanying Immortal chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. You'll definitely like it there."

"Yeah, right," Wuyou muttered softly, but didn't say anything more.

The Moon-Accompanying Immortal knew that this sword was extremely spiritual and not that difficult to deal with.

He put away his carefree attitude and looked at Song Chunxue with a serious expression.

"Your Qilin is being raised in the back mountain, and I like it very much," the Moon-Accompanying Immortal said, hesitating the Bodhi seed bracelet in his hand. He lowered his head and said, "Your third uncle also likes it, so he wants to give you a fortuitous opportunity. What do you think?"

Song Chunxue was somewhat puzzled and glanced at Master Han, who seemed to be lost in thought.

“I have no objection. Since it has been given to Master, then it is up to Master to decide.”

"When you and Xie Zheng become Daoist partners, he will give you this opportunity as a congratulatory gift," the Moon-Accompanying Immortal said with emotion. "This is the first time you have brought your Daoist partner to our mountain. This is a joyous occasion, and we must give you a grand celebration."
