"Master!" Shen Qingmang excitedly ran forward and hugged him. Gu Suihan followed her and coughed softly.
"Master, the Sect Leader is different now than he was before, you should also..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at the husband you found, how can he be as good as the one I picked for you? You even feel jealous of your master, Gu Sui Han, but I am your master's grandfather." Yun Xuzhou said.
"Then please be careful with your words, Master." Gu Sui Han said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Shen Qingmang released his hand and said with a smile, "Alright, alright. We finally meet, why waste time bickering? Master, how come you know everything? Can you see what's happening in the lower realms after ascending?"
"Of course I can, but I've never spied on you. Your senior brother told me after he came."
"Where's the eldest brother?"
"Go look for him in the library of the immortal world. He is simply the book spirit of the library."
"It turns out that there is also a library in the fairy world. I want to go and take a look too."
"Wait a minute, there's someone else I think you'd also like to meet." Yun Xuzhou said, knocking on the door next door. "Qiong Ju, Xiao Qing Mang is here."
Shen Qingmang was frightened by his address and said in a trembling voice: "Master, you... I..."
"Don't worry, you are still my good disciple. But after I met your senior sister here, I was really surprised for a long time. I thought you were the same person."
"Senior Sister?"
The door opened, and Master Qiongju walked out and nodded at her. "I've heard a lot about you, Shen Qingmang."
"What the hell is going on?" Shen Qingmang felt like his brain was not enough.
"Shouldn't you... uh... ascended to heaven after you came out of seclusion, so that's why I was born?"
"Back then, my second senior brother and I both plunged into the abyss. His body was completely destroyed, but I unexpectedly ascended. Later, the cold winter caused time to turn back, and everything returned to its original state. My second senior brother was resurrected, but I had already entered the upper realm and could not return to the lower realm. Thus, you appeared."
"Why would jumping off a cliff lead to ascension?" Shen Qingmang scratched his head. "Isn't this too bizarre?"
"Do you know what it means to attain enlightenment?" Qiongju asked.
"It's about building your own faith." Shen Qingmang said without hesitation.
"Everyone who comes into this world has an initial ego. For me, that ego is all about myself. Attaining the Tao is actually the process of letting go of that ego."
"Why does it sound like a Buddhist term?"
"Different paths lead to the same destination; all paths are interconnected." Qiong Ju looked her straight in the eye. "My entire life, I've only ever valued myself, until the moment I fell off the cliff. I finally let go of myself and fulfilled the wishes of others. In that moment, I let go of my ego and achieved enlightenment."
"So I actually... went from altruism to selfishness?" Shen Qingmang thought for a moment, his mind clear.
Yes, her rapid progress in cultivation was because she had finally let go of matters concerning others and started to think about her own life. And her successful ascension was because she had completely let go of her responsibilities to the Taichu Sect and wanted to embrace her own life.
"What about you?" She looked at Gu Sui Han.
Gu Suihan was stunned for a moment and said, "Maybe... it's from trying to keep her to fulfill her wish."
He wanted to get her from the beginning, to make her only look at him and accompany him forever. In the end, he finally understood her ambition and stopped forcing her. Instead, he chose to respect her choice and share the responsibility with her.
This is his way.
"It seems that it will take a long time for our child to attain enlightenment." Shen Qingmang blinked.
Yaoyao and Canggeng have not yet encountered an opportunity for change, and what awaits them is a very long story.
"Don't think too much. There are many wonderful things in the fairyland. It's time to enjoy your own life, Xiao Qingmang." Yun Xuzhou patted her shoulder.
Shen Qingmang and Gu Suihan smiled at each other.
They have experienced so many worlds, and there are still endless unknowns ahead. But as long as they are with each other, all the unknowns are surprises.
