Chapter 50

He glanced at Wen Chaosheng's appearance.

During the sect competition, he acted recklessly and bluntly stated that he wanted to form a marriage alliance with her.

Wen Chaosheng's expression began to waver. Was it because he had someone he cared about?

"No... I'm not."

I am not here to congratulate her on her marriage.

He hadn't even told her how much he liked her, yet she was already going to be with someone else.

Wen Chaosheng had something on his mind, and even the jade headband on his forehead had dimmed considerably. Today, he rushed to Ying Ning in one go, but he couldn't bring himself to say any of the countless questions that had been troubling him these past few days.

“Actually…” came his deep voice.

"Fellow Daoist Wen, you can speak frankly."

"When we were in the mortal realm, I ended your life with my own hands. Do you harbor any resentment towards me?"

Upon hearing his words, the woman in scarlet robes standing before the Qiyang Palace smiled faintly.

"Since I entrusted this matter to you, how could I possibly harbor any resentment?"

“Speaking of this matter, I should thank Fellow Daoist Wen. If it weren’t for your help, I would probably have suffered even more,” Ying Ning said.

Yingning's words eased Wen Chaosheng's mind considerably.

He had been feeling uneasy for the past few days, but now he finally felt relieved.

He dared not come to see Yingning, fearing that she might resent him for not being able to save her at the time.

"So... what are your thoughts on the matter between you and the Immortal Venerable?"

Wen Chaosheng already knew that the sixth prince in the mortal realm was Li Ziqing. She had been living in the sixth prince's residence at the time, so there must have been some connection between the two of them.

But he never expected that Li Ziqing would also have worldly desires.

"I will obey my master's orders."

Wen Chaosheng lowered his eyes and asked, "Then are you willing?"

The woman with phoenix eyes did not speak again.

As soon as Xi Yunliu returned to the palace, he received a telepathic message from Dan Yao. He immediately cast a spell, and a cloak that reached his ankles appeared on his body.

A water mirror was formed, and the image reflected in the water mirror was the Qiwu Palace.

Dan Yao said anxiously, "Master, your disciple is in real trouble!"

"What is it? Don't panic." Xi Yunliu spoke, and it was actually an old woman's voice.

"Li Ziqing is actually going to form a celestial bond with that bitch Feng Yingning!"

"Master, you must help Yao'er."

This person in black was the benefactor she had met during a perilous encounter when she first joined the Sword Sect. She had helped her a great deal on her cultivation path, so Dan Yao became her disciple.

Over the years, whenever she encountered any bottlenecks or difficulties, she would immediately contact her master. Every time, her master was able to help her turn danger into safety, and Dan Yao respected her very much.

Even this time, when his immortal bones were shattered, his master gave him a special cultivation technique to help him heal his immortal bones as quickly as possible.

When Xi Yunliu heard Dan Yao call her beloved a "bitch," her aura changed instantly. Unfortunately, the water mirror only showed her impression, and Dan Yao didn't notice.

"Master, what should I do?"

Over the years, Xi Yunliu had known that Dan Yao had some inappropriate thoughts about Li Ziqing, but she had always just watched the show and hadn't said anything.

Today, Dan Yao came to me and talked about the predestined relationship between Li Ziqing and A Ning. Xi Yunliu had a good idea.

"Don't worry, I will help you with this."

......

After receiving what Xi Yunliu gave her, Dan Yao was so excited that she couldn't wait to see Feng Yingning trampled on the ground by everyone.

However, Master said that this matter needs to be handled with caution.

After she makes some careful arrangements in the next few days, she'll make sure that bitch can never recover!

*

The date personally chosen by Li Ziqing was ten days from now.

In the past few days, he has been sending orders to Yingning every day, instructing her to go to Chonghua Palace.

Sometimes, it's a game of chess between two people.

Sometimes, she would just sit quietly, but Yingning would occasionally feel a burning gaze upon her.

Today, he sat by the tranquil pond in Chonghua Palace, and had Yingning beside him.

He seemed to be deep in thought, without saying a word. Since he remained silent, Yingning chatted quietly with 67 to the side.

“Master, Danyao has placed flames imbued with the aura of the demon realm on the bodies of those deceased disciples of the immortal sects these past few days.”

The healing technique for immortal bones that Dan Yao obtained from Xi Yunliu involves taking away the immortal soul of others and using it as a tonic for herself. This technique can not only heal her immortal bones in a short time, but also allow her to advance her cultivation level to a higher level.

By this time, Dan Yao's immortal bones had probably already healed, and her current actions were entirely due to her tasting the sweetness of a "cultivation technique" that required no effort whatsoever.

She is already extremely addicted.

“Little Seven, in the previous life, Dan Yao gained the trust of the sects by having Wen Chaosheng speak for her.”

"In this life, Wen Chaosheng probably won't directly believe Dan Yao's words."

After all, Wen Chaosheng's heart was currently leaning towards his own.

"Master, what will Danyao do?"

"They'll probably take action themselves."

However, you also need to put some effort into it from behind.

As Ying Ning was pondering, a cool male voice came from beside her ear: "What are you thinking about?"

This immediately brought her back to her senses, and when she looked up, she saw Li Ziqing walking in front of her.

"Master, I'm just wondering, the water in this still pool seems like a stagnant pool, yet it has remained crystal clear for hundreds of years. What is the reason for this?"

"That's because there's something at the bottom of this pool called the Mysterious Heart Clam, which has the function of calming the water waves."

"That's quite unusual."

Seeing the amusement in her eyes, Li Ziqing waved his hand, and something slowly rose from the still pool.

As soon as it left the still pool, the water in the pool immediately became rippled.

"Here, take this."

Li Ziqing held out the Mysterious Heart Clam to Ying Ning, who took it and looked it over.

Although this Mysterious Heart Clam is small, it possesses boundless spiritual power, making it a rare treasure.

Yingning walked to the edge of the still pool and once again threw the Mysterious Heart Clam to the bottom of the pool.

"Let it lie in the still pool and calm down. If the pool is no longer calm, it will ruin this good name."

Li Ziqing did not stop her, a hint of doting flashed in his eyes.

Since she wanted the Mysterious Heart Clam to stay in the still pool, then so be it.

In the end, we'll wait until the day we forge our immortal bond has passed.

Not just the Mysterious Heart Clam.

What's his is hers.

"The day after tomorrow will be the day our fates are sealed," Li Ziqing said.

In the celestial realm, marriages are not always arranged with a wedding ceremony like in the mortal world. Instead, the couple goes to the Marriage Stone and has their names engraved.

Before the Marriage Stone, they recited the words of their vows, and their destiny was sealed.

"Master, do you truly wish to forge a celestial bond with me?"

"yes."

"Even if I don't want to, you still want to do it?"

"yes."

Li Ziqing never asked for her opinion from beginning to end. It was unclear whether the out-of-control events in the mortal world had left a shadow in his heart or whether he had become so obsessive that he simply passed on the orders regardless of what Ying Ning said that day.
