My Swindled Dao Companion Is Actually My Arch-Nemesis

A gentleman does not take what others love, but Mo Xiao is no gentleman. On Lingzhong Mountain, the person he detests most is undoubtedly the esteemed Senior Brother Bai Linchuan, who is as clear a...

His seal

His seal

"Junior sister, why are you here?" Mo Xie looked at Bai Linchuan in front of him in surprise. He had just come back and sat down.

Bai Linchuan pinched his robe and said, "The weather is nice today."

The cold wind blew past people's ears, as if it was going to blow them off. The scattered snowflakes were blown away into the distance, extending a semi-transparent white gauze on the bluestone tiles.

Mo Xie nodded slowly, "...Yes...not bad."

Bai Linchuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then let's go."

Mo Xue didn't ask where they were going, but followed him walking aimlessly in the snow. They vaguely saw the gate of Lingzhong Mountain. "Are you going to leave the sect?" he asked.

Bai Linchuan said: "For something this important, of course we have to choose an important place."

Mo Xue glanced at him and suddenly understood what he was going to do. He didn't know what made him change his mind and walk so anxiously.

Bai Linchuan took out Ye Zhou and was about to speak, but Mo Xue walked up without asking anything.

Bai Linchuan was startled, then got on Ye Zhou and stood behind him.

Ye Zhou slowly flew up.

Mo Xue stared at the clouds and mist in front of him without blinking, and could only vaguely see the outlines of some mountains. Bai Linchuan cast a protective shield on Ye Zhou, and even the wind could not get in.

Bai Linchuan's low and cold voice sounded behind his ears, "It will be after crossing this mountain."

For a moment, Mo Xue seemed to hear a heartbeat, perhaps Bai Linchuan's.

Ye Zhou slowly landed. It was a valley. Strangely, in this cold winter, there was a grand holly tree in the valley. It was green all year round, with lush branches and buds growing. The top of the tree was not visible, and the trunk was thick and three feet wide.

There is a thick snow under the shade of the trees, as white and clean as a piece of white paper. No footprints have ever stepped on it, as if this place has long been forgotten by time. Here, any oath will last forever.

Bai Linchuan got off Ye Zhou and stretched out his hand towards Mo Xue.

Mo Xue looked at the snow-white snow, and once he took a step forward, he would never regret it.

Bai Linchuan's hand was stretched out, he felt as if his breathing had stopped for a long time, and Mo Xue also hesitated for a long time.

However, it was only a moment before Mo Xue smiled at Bai Linchuan with a bright and beautiful smile. He stretched out his hand and covered Bai Linchuan's hand through his sleeve.

Bai Linchuan gently raised his hand until he held his hand firmly.

Black boots and white shoes stepped on the soft snow, and two footprints appeared on the white paper, breaking the eternal tranquility.

The two men knelt under the evergreen tree, their robes scattered on the snow.

Bai Linchuan took the first step. He used his spiritual energy to cut his fingertips. A drop of blood fell on the snow and was instantly absorbed and covered by the snow.

Mo Xue was shocked, "What is this?"

Bai Linchuan held Mo Xue's wrist and said, "It takes the essence and blood of two people to form a Taoist couple bond."

He rolled up his black sleeves, revealing the tender white inside of his wrist, and slowly wrote seal characters on the inside of his wrist with blood.

As he drew each stroke, he felt a cold touch on his wrist. He looked at Bai Linchuan with a serious expression on his face. When he finished the last stroke, Bai Linchuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense fingertips trembled uncontrollably.

Mo Xie smiled and said, "You're so nervous. If you make a mistake, you can just try again."

Bai Linchuan put his hand to his lips, "It's unlucky."

Mo Xue laughed out loud. Bai Linchuan stretched out the inside of his wrist. Mo Xue bit his fingertip and tried to imitate him by cutting.

As the last stroke was made, the seal talisman was completed, and two strands of red light flew into the body like red threads. A faint red thread appeared on the wrists of the two people, entwining each other, flashing twice and then disappearing.

Under the white veil, Bai Linchuan's mouth corners slowly rose, and a warm current surged from the bottom of his heart. He suddenly felt a huge sense of satisfaction, as if his empty heart was suddenly filled.

He suddenly stepped forward and hugged Mo Xue tightly.

"From now on, you will be my Taoist partner. No matter what, I will never regret it."

Mo Xue looked at the blood contract on his wrist curiously. He rubbed it quietly with snow, and the snow turned red, but a symbol was always engraved on his wrist, with the same pattern as the other person's wrist.

He patted Bai Linchuan on the back: "Of course, you will always be my junior sister."

However, after he said this, Bai Linchuan suddenly pushed him away, stood up and walked back.

Mo Xie blinked in surprise and followed him in confusion, "Did I say something wrong?"

Bai Linchuan originally thought that the emptiness in his heart would be filled after the contract was signed, but it was gone in a flash. He wanted more and more, and the more he wanted, the more dissatisfied he became, and the more urgent and anxious he became.

After returning to the sect, Bai Linchuan grabbed Mo Xue's hand and said, "Tomorrow, at 11:00 PM, come to Beishan Mansion."

Mo Xue blinked blankly.

Bai Linchuan gritted his teeth. Seeing that he was puzzled, he took the initiative to say, "There is only one last step left...dual cultivation..."

Mo Xue froze in place, as if he had not expected this step.

After saying this, Bai Linchuan stopped looking at him, leaving him with only his back.

Mo Xue returned to the room in a daze, not knowing whether he was happy or delighted.

Wei Si saw that he was distracted and asked, "Hey, where are you going for a tryst?"

Mo Xue showed him the bond talisman in his hand.

Wei Si jumped up from the stool in an instant, "So fast!"

Mo Xie smiled and said, "It's not over yet. We still have to practice dual cultivation tomorrow." He laughed twice again.

Wei Si felt that the smile was a little forced, "...as long as you are happy."

Mo Xue stopped laughing and threw himself onto the bed.

Wei Si said, "So you're going down the mountain tomorrow?"

Mo Xue said, "No, it was..." He suddenly sat up from the bed, "In Beishan? In Bai Linchuan's room??? This... isn't right!"

Wei Si: "Oh, he is so generous." After saying that, he glanced at Mo Xue.

Mo Xie lay down again, closed his eyes and smiled, "Who cares? We only have the final step left tomorrow. No matter what he wants, it's already a done deal..."

On the second day, Bei Shaozhi went out early in the morning and surprisingly did not see Bai Linchuan. Something was wrong, really wrong. The eldest brother had hailed and a hole appeared in the sky. He would go to practice if he could remain unmoved.

So he plucked up the courage to knock on Bai Linchuan's door.

"What's the matter?" Bai Linchuan asked calmly.

Bei Shaozhi stopped at the door, looking at the red silk and satin scattered all over the floor, and Bai Linchuan sewing something with a needle and thread. He felt uneasy again, "...I should be the one to say this."

He stepped over the red silk on the ground and carefully sat on the stool. "What are you doing?"

Bai Linchuan's hands kept threading the red silk. "Mother said that it's unlucky not to see red on a big wedding, so she sent me some red silk to hang it up." He looked at Bei Shaozhi, "I plan to sew a veil, and when the time comes, Mo Xue will unveil it..." His voice gradually became softer, "Give him a surprise..."

Bei Shaozhi murmured, "Is it a surprise? It's more like a shock..."

Bai Linchuan suddenly looked at him, his eyes cold and sharp as a knife.

Bei Shaozhi covered his mouth instantly, "That's not what I meant..."

"You spoke your mind."

Bei Shaozhi looked ashen, but still said, "I think...you don't have to be so anxious about this matter. Perhaps you can confess to him first."

Bai Linchuan sewed his veil with a cold face, looking resentful. "I told him first, and he ran away."

"So you knew that too." Bei Shaozhi sighed.

Bai Linchuan glanced at him coldly again.

Bei Shaozhi reached out and slapped himself on the mouth twice.

Bai Linchuan: "Are you worried about him? He has only been accepted as your disciple for a short time." After saying that, he looked at Bei Shaozhi with a cold and damp look.

Bei Shaozhi said, "Mo Xue is a very unusual person. He seems to have a kind of...natural magic that makes people fall in love with him very easily."

Bai Linchuan put down the red silk, and the air in the room suddenly dropped.

Bei Shaozhi immediately added, "I mean, I'm not that perverted when it comes to my fellow disciples liking me..."

Bai Linchuan looked at him sideways.

Bei Shaozhi tried to make amends, "That's not what I meant. You meant... I won't fall in love with someone I hate..." He struggled desperately, but the more he spoke, the worse it got.

Bai Linchuan snorted, fortunately he didn't continue to care about it.

Bei Shaozhi's butt was still pressed tightly against the chair as he continued, "I think you're still young. I don't know much, but Master met Elder Ouyang when he was training in the mountains. You haven't even left the mountains yet, and you've only just met a few people. Aren't you being a little impulsive now? You know, once the covenant seal is set, it's not easy to remove..."

Bai Linchuan interrupted him, stretched out his arm, and rolled up his sleeves. "Are you talking about this?"

Bei Shaozhi gasped, "Huh?????? Are you guys already... already... forming a bond?"

He looked at the seal in disbelief. If Bai Linchuan hadn't been so cold and arrogant, he would have even wanted to rub it a few times to determine whether it was real or not.

Bei Shaozhi said, "No, I have to report this to my master." He had just barely lifted his butt off the chair when Bai Linchuan pushed him down. He said slowly, "I've already introduced him to my parents. They're... very satisfied and have no objections."

Bei Shaozhi was even more surprised, "It's only been a day since you confirmed your feelings!"

Bai Linchuan glanced at him and said coldly, "If you dare to reveal a single word about this before tomorrow, I will tell Master that you stole wine every night for the three months I defeated you."

Bei Shaozhi clutched his chest and said, "You threatened me!"

"This is just the simplest one. I don't hesitate to use a little spiritual power." Bai Linchuan stared at him.

His eyes suddenly became deep and dark, and for a moment, Bei Shaozhi vaguely felt as if he saw Mo Xue's appearance.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Bei Shaozhi raised his hands in surrender. "Anyway, it's just the two of you who's going to settle it. How can you really make a big fuss about it?"

He turned his head away, sighing, and secretly marveled in his heart, "Is this still our eldest brother? He's even threatening people. Love really does make people lose their minds."

Bai Linchuan glanced at him again, and Bei Shaozhi's face was filled with horror, as if to say, "No, no, no."

Bai Linchuan said coldly: "Junior brother, you'd better sew your mouth shut next time..."

Bei Shaozhi was really afraid that Bai Linchuan would tie him up on impulse, so he jumped up instantly, put his hand on his mouth, and to be on the safe side, he solemnly swore to himself that he would not say a word before tomorrow.

As the sun slowly sets, the floor of the mansion is covered with a red carpet, and red curtains hang quietly on both sides of the bed. The dusk shines in, illuminating the room with a blood-red color.

Bai Linchuan put on his own white dress and covered his head with a long red veil to hide his upper body.

He only saw a bit of red silk ground in front of him. He was looking forward to what kind of expression Mo Xue would have, but no matter what... the beginning of all this was all his own fault. It was he who stole his magic sword, his spirit pet, and now his junior sister. Who could he blame for all this?

He belongs to Mo Xue, so naturally... Mo Xue is also his.

Bai Linchuan kept stroking the seal on his wrist, causing his skin to turn bright red.
