He sat at the wooden table in front of the window, holding tightly in his hand the jade pendant given to him by A Yue, his eyes full of attachment. He already had A Yue, so as for the blind date meeting... it would be better not to go.
However, when his senior brothers and sisters heard that he didn't want to go, they came to persuade him.
The eldest brother patted his shoulder with a smile on his face and said:
"Junior brother, this exchange conference is a rare event. It wouldn't hurt to go and take a look. You might find something that will be of great benefit to your cultivation."
The senior sister also whispered to the side: "Xiao Su, everyone is going. It would be so boring for you to stay alone in the sect. Besides, this is your first time participating. Go and have some fun."
"Although the nature of the exchange conference has changed over the years, it is still used to exchange experiences. Look at those brothers and sisters who have Taoist partners, aren't they still going as usual?"
Su Ming really couldn't resist their enthusiasm and nodded.
He straightened his clothes and carefully put the jade pendant into his arms.
On the way to the exchange conference, he secretly thought in his heart that since he was going there, there was no need for blind dates. He just hoped to find some items for cultivation at low prices among the many stalls. If it could speed up his cultivation process, he would be able to see A Yue as soon as possible.
............
When the exchange meeting arrived, Su Ming looked bored at the disciples who were walking in pairs nearby, and then he remembered the purpose of his trip. Just as he was about to go look for them, he saw a senior sister blocking his way.
Su Ming subconsciously thought that she had come to chat him up because she saw him alone. Just as he was about to refuse, he saw the senior sister take out her storage bag and shook it, then revealed a faint smile:
"Little Junior Brother, would you like to buy something? I have everything here."
Su Ming swallowed his words of refusal in an instant. He looked at the senior sister with interest and nodded.
It turned out that what the senior sister said was indeed true. She was like a small vendor, with all the basic items available.
Everything was going smoothly during the transaction, but after the transaction, the nature of the transaction seemed to change. The senior sister's staring eyes and the subtle touch of her fingers during the transaction...Su Ming clearly felt that she was teasing him.
Su Ming reminded her seriously, "Senior Sister, I have a Taoist partner. Please respect yourself."
The senior sister didn't care at all, her eyes were more direct and bold, telling him it was okay...
Su Ming subconsciously fled. After all, he had already paid the money and got the things.
..........
Later, when he mentioned that experience to Zhou Yue, Zhou Yue just showed an expression of disapproval, and even seemed a little relieved.
Zhou Yue said softly: "A Ming, I actually don't think this is a big deal."
After a while, he continued, "Think about it. If you could like women, that would be wonderful. Then you could openly tell everyone that you have a Taoist partner."
"You can hold her hand, stand in the sunshine, and introduce her to your fellow disciples, your master... and more importantly, to your parents and everyone you know."
"Everyone will send their most sincere blessings, and you will become a happy couple in everyone's eyes."
Zhou Yue sighed slightly and continued, "Unlike what we are doing now, we can only hide it."
"Every time I see you being cautious because of our relationship, I feel bad."
"I just hope you can live a happier and easier life. As long as you can be happy, I am willing to accept it no matter what."
Su Ming felt a pain in his heart, not only because of Zhou Yue's attitude of trying to push him away, but more importantly... Zhou Yue underestimated himself.
So, he responded firmly: "None of this matters. I won't be happy without you in my life."
...........
After their cultivation reached the standard, they simultaneously applied to their respective sects for training and left the sect.
The joy of meeting each other after a long separation made them both affectionate for a while after seeing each other, and then they immediately decided to travel and see the world.
........
Although they became Taoist couples, they did not plan to hold a ceremony to mark their union, nor did they plan to confess their friendship to their families.
First of all, this is a matter between them.
Secondly, the Su and Zhou families would not agree. Putting aside the conflict between the two families, most of the people in their families did not get together through free love, but were arranged marriages, both for men and women. Not to mention them...
So, they planned to elope and just live their own lives.
However...the issue of lifespan is still before them. Zhou Yue wants to live and die with him and is willing to wait for him. Su Ming also feels sorry for his efforts and practices even harder.
When I learned that Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao were holding a ceremony to mark their graduation, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't envious. Having the support of their family and friends was something they had always longed for.
However, they are now content because they have each other by their side.
..............
On a quiet night, the inky sky stretches out into the distance like a huge piece of silk.
A bright moon like a jade plate hangs high in the night sky, casting silvery light and gently caressing the earth.
Su Ming and Zhou Yue held hands, their figures stretched out in the moonlight, as if they had merged into one.
