The next morning, when she ran into Yun Xuzhou on her way out, Shen Qingmang didn't know whether to call herself a prophet or a jinx. But she didn't have the heart to dwell on it, as something even more embarrassing was happening. She had left the bedroom with Gu Suihan, while her master was waiting in Yushu Hall.
She has no parents and has never experienced the feeling of being caught in a premature love relationship by her parents, but she ended up making a big mistake.
Gu Sui Han seemed to be even more nervous than her. The moment he saw Yun Xuzhou, he clutched her sleeve tightly. Shen Qingmang even heard the sound of him swallowing his saliva.
Yun Xuzhou's gaze flickered between the two people, pausing briefly on Gu Suihan's hand before asking, "Did you sleep well last night?"
"Thank you, Master, for your concern. That's great."
Shen Qingmang muttered to himself: As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
"The main reason I came here today is because I made a new discovery, and I thought you might be interested."
Shen Qingmang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What?"
"Do you know the daughter of the Fangyuan Sect's leader?"
"Yang Zhidu? I've heard of her."
"I discovered that this child seems to have some connection with Yanxiang, and Wujiu intercepted their correspondence."
"Intercept, intercept?" Shen Qingmang felt that this word sounded wrong.
Yun Xuzhou turned to look at Gu Suihan: "Suihan, right? Your master and I have something important to discuss. What do you think..."
"Sui Han will take his leave first." Gu Sui Han immediately bowed. Shen Qingmang nodded to him.
After he disappeared from their sight, Yun Xuzhou revealed a playful expression. "You really dote on him to no end."
Shen Qingmang was a little embarrassed and annoyed. "Master, stop teasing me and get down to business."
"Wujiu told me that Yanxiang has been feeling restless lately, and his words are sometimes incoherent. I'm afraid something has gone wrong with his cultivation, so I personally went to look after him."
"Oh, so it was me who imprisoned my son." She sneered when she heard it.
"Don't talk like that. I'm just keeping watch for now."
"Senior Brother Fengchun is a little crazy, but the real culprit is Master Wujiu. Everyone has the right to despise him, but he has no qualifications. He is not even qualified to be a father." Shen Qingmang was a little angry.
"Ah..." Yun Xuzhou sighed. "That's all in the past. I understand Yan Xiang might have some resentment, but he shouldn't have murdered his fellow disciples."
"I don't mean to excuse Senior Brother Fengchun. He did something wrong and he deserves to be punished. If you were the one punishing him, I wouldn't say anything, but Master Wujiu... let me be frank. He should punish himself first for what happened back then. Maybe seeing him being punished will help Senior Brother regain his composure."
Shen Qingmang suppressed his words and did not say them: The elder in charge of the Discipline Hall is the most hypocritical person. If this continues, our Taichu Sect will be finished sooner or later.
"Let's put aside the trivial matters for now. This secret letter cannot be opened by anyone else, otherwise it will be burned immediately. Do you know what is written on it?"
"How would I know?" Shen Qingmang asked in surprise.
Yun Xuzhou stared into her eyes. "You had a falling out with Yan Xiang before, and you even imprisoned him in Frost Sky Wall. Did you already notice something was amiss?"
"Have you forgotten? It was only after I locked him up that Senior Brother verified that the Soul Summoning Talisman was indeed harmful. If he hadn't tested it himself, Qing Mang wouldn't have known Senior Brother Fengchun was harboring evil intentions."
"But you pointed out a long time ago that the spirit-summoning talisman couldn't be used."
"That's because I feel that the spirit-summoning talisman will make the cultivators slack off in their cultivation, so I don't want to use it." Shen Qingmang looked innocent.
"Alright. Master thought you had some kind of intuition. It seems you haven't. The most accurate foresight in the world is probably only the Fang Yuan Sect. They've reached out to our Taichu. What exactly do they want?"
"Qing Mang thinks they have big plans. The Fang Yuan Sect prides itself on being the sect that connects heaven and earth, and the cultivators are all mystical and arrogant. Yang Zhidu is particularly conceited, and I'm afraid he's long been dissatisfied with our Taichu sect being the largest."
"Arrogant?" Yun Xuzhou stroked his beard. "I've seen that little girl before. Back then, she was always by her father's side. She was innocent and always polite to everyone. She definitely doesn't seem like someone who's arrogance."
Because she is good at hiding things, Shen Qingmang thought.
When she read the original novel, Yang Zhidu was a background character in the first half, like a neighbor's kid, praised by everyone and considered a good young man.
However, it was this five-good young man who joined forces with the Wuwang Sect and attacked directly. Qiongju had never had a direct confrontation with her, and Shen Qingmang had never seen her in the illusion. According to Gu Suihan, Yang Zhidu looked very kind and remained calm at all times. Even when the Fangyuan Sect was counterattacked and she was surrounded by three people, she did not panic at all, and even wanted to sow discord between the three people. In the end, she died under the sword of Hao Xin.
"Do you think An Yanxiang looks like someone who would collude with external enemies and harm his own sect?" Shen Qingmang said, "You can only judge a person by their appearance, not their heart. Yang Zhidu has been praised as the 'Daughter of Destiny', so how could she willingly be inferior to others?"
"This kid is really capable. Everything she predicts is correct. Could it be that she has predicted when our Taichu Sect will perish and is here to rob us in advance?" Yun Xuzhou said.
"Master, you're overthinking this..." Shen Qingmang laughed and said, "It's a very novel point of view, but I think Yang Zhidu is not someone who goes with the flow. She is someone who creates momentum."
"What kind of situation has been created?"
"Of course it's her identity as 'the daughter of destiny,'" Shen Qingmang said in a deep voice. "The laws of nature are unchanging. They do not exist for the sake of Yao or die for the sake of Jie. The so-called destiny is nothing but an illusory myth. We humans have never relied on the blessings of God to live, but on the hard work of our own hands. Whether it's the farming and weaving lives of ordinary people or the pursuit of magic by cultivators like us, these are all our own choices and decisions. We don't do what God tells us to do. Now she claims to be God's spokesperson, speaking on behalf of Heaven. How ridiculous is that?"
"But everything she predicted came true."
"Isn't this a recent rumor?" Shen Qingmang said, "I suspect there's someone behind her manipulating her. I've been trying to find a way to find her. If Master believes me, then Qingmang will solve this problem. I will expose her true identity one day."
Yun Xuzhou narrowed his eyes. "When have I ever distrusted you, Little Qingmang? Just go for it. If the Fang Yuan Sect truly has some conspiracy, we in the Taichu Sect won't sit idly by. We'll make them realize who truly is the greatest sect in the world."
"Okay." Shen Qingmang smiled and said, "With Master's words, this disciple will not be timid anymore."
She will definitely catch Yang Zhidu by the tail.
