Chapter 62 Chapter 62 (Revised) You should call me Master’s Wife…
This made Jiang Zhaoxue so angry that she laughed.
There are so many things I want to say that I don't even know where to start.
She paused for a moment, then suppressed her anger and looked up at him: "You forced me here just to ask me this?"
"Shouldn't I?"
Shen Yuqing couldn't help but raise her voice, "You've been secretly interacting with the two of them in the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion. Even when your spirit was annihilated, you rushed to Wuyuelin to save him. He cured you of the fire poison, but you kept it a secret. To save him, you interfered with the Criminal Court's affairs in the name of the Pavilion Master's wife. You even disregarded the reputation of the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion and Penglai, putting your own life and death aside. You jumped off a cliff for him, risking your life and death, and were hunted by Master. After meeting me, you escaped again and again, and in the end—"
Shen Yuqing paused, as if trying to hold back: "You hurt me for him."
Thinking of that arrow, Shen Yuqing felt a piercing pain in his heart. The wound from the arrow hadn't healed yet, and it ached faintly in his shoulder. He stared at Jiang Zhaoxue intently, "And now you've signed a life-serving contract with him... I'm your Taoist partner, the one you signed a marriage contract with, the one you declared your fate to, the one you declared to Heaven, the one witnessed by heaven and earth, and the gods and men. He's my disciple, so shouldn't you give me an explanation?!"
"Why give it?"
Jiang Zhaoxue raised her eyes coldly and said decisively, "Haven't I already broken the Dao Companion Contract? How can you be considered my Dao Companion?"
"Break the bond?" Shen Yuqing sneered. "What can you use to break it? The bond is with me. You and I will be inseparable forever. If I die, you die, and I get hurt, you get hurt. What can you use to break it with me..."
"Then you killed me!"
Jiang Zhaoxue instantly raised her voice and shouted, "Let me see how you repay kindness with enmity. Teach me a lesson so everyone will know what happens to fools who unilaterally give a heart-to-heart contract!"
After saying this, Shen Yuqing stopped talking.
The fingers holding the whisk turned slightly white, and the look in his eyes as he stared at Jiang Zhaoxue was like a beast trapped in an iron chain.
After a long while, he suddenly asked, "Do you regret it?"
"I……"
"I'm not here to argue with you!" Shen Yuqing interrupted Jiang Zhaoxue as soon as she heard her voice, and said rather embarrassedly, "I have something important to do."
Jiang Zhaoxue paused, knowing there was no point in arguing with him. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and sat on the chair with the cup in his hand, saying coldly, "Heal your wound and then talk."
When Shen Yuqing heard this, he didn't know why he suddenly felt a little bitter.
He sat quietly aside, raising his hand to heal himself. Jiang Zhaoxue pretended not to see it, closed his eyes and turned to rest.
She closed her eyes, and Shen Yuqing finally looked up, gazing at the thin figure of the woman in front of him.
The person in front of him has spent eight years in this illusion.
He didn't know what had happened to her in the past six months, but he could clearly feel that she seemed more beautiful and charming than before.
Like a flower that is nourished and blooms at its best.
He was not sure what had changed exactly, but he clearly felt that her every move, every frown and smile, even when she was just silent, had a subtle and charming charm.
He didn't know if it was because they hadn't seen each other for too long, or because he had been too obsessed with her during the four years he had been looking for her, that he had this illusion.
His heart trembled slightly, and he didn't dare to look any longer. He simply lowered his eyes and looked at the ground without saying a word.
Jiang Zhaoxue felt the pain in her heart gradually subside. Knowing that he was almost well, she calmed down. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she opened her eyes and turned to look at him.
Shen Yuqing had obviously calmed down, and his face was emotionless. He glanced at the person he had met at Lingjian Xian Pavilion in the past, his expression cold and indifferent, and it was impossible to tell what his true intention was.
Jiang Zhaoxue brought over the tea from the side and said calmly, "Tell me, what happened to the Nine Nether Realm?"
Shen Yuqing knew this was serious business, so he didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "The Nine Netherworld barrier has been broken."
Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and asked in surprise: "How did it break?"
Back then in Wu Yuelin, she had repaired the Nine Netherworld Realm barrier with her own hands, so how could it be broken?
"I don't know," Shen Yuqing said in a low voice, looking at the ground a little tiredly. "On the day you fell off the cliff, the barrier of the Nine Netherworld Realm was broken, and a large number of demon cultivators poured in. One day in the True Immortal Realm is equivalent to one year here. Eight years ago, when Xun Shijing forcibly took me back, their army was approaching Cangming Sea, so I had no choice but to go to Cangming Sea to fight the enemy for eight days."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened, feeling confused and uncertain: "Then what?"
"All the fortune tellers in the Central Continent Immortal Alliance have simultaneously divined, along with the prophecy in the Book of Destiny, that Central Continent's fortune is waning and will inevitably face a catastrophe. Currently, there are only three ways to prevent the decline of Central Continent's fortune. The first is the emergence of a destined marriage. A destined marriage is when two individuals of great fortune find a harmonious union of yin and yang, a perfect union of heaven and earth. Once this marriage is complete, fortune flourishes, potentially saving Central Continent from disaster. However, a destined marriage is rare, so it's unlikely to happen anytime soon."
"The second method."
Jiang Zhaoxue spoke decisively.
Shen Yuqing raised her eyes and looked at her: "A ninth-level destiny master appeared."
After these words were spoken, Jiang Zhaoxue remained silent.
The Ninth Realm Master of Destiny is only possible if she gets the Heavenly Jade and other magical artifacts in Pei Zichen's body.
Shen Yuqing also knew it was impossible. Turning to look to the side, he said worriedly, "But it's impossible now. In the ancient times when spiritual energy flourished, there were only three Ninth Realm Masters. Currently, there are only five people in Central Continent who have the potential to become a Ninth Realm Master. The highest level is Xuan Yue of the Xuantian Sect. She is now an Eighth Realm Master, but it is said that... her spiritual power is depleted and she will not live long. It is impossible for a Ninth Realm Master to appear in a short time."
"So what's the third solution?"
Jiang Zhaoyue tapped the armrest lightly. Since Shen Yuqing rejected the first two options and called her, he must have decided on the third option.
"Get the artifact left by Lord Hao Cang."
Shen Yuqing spoke, and Jiang Zhaoxue stopped moving. He looked up at Shen Yuqing, and saw Shen Yuqing looking at him. He said seriously, "The Heavenly Jade, the Time Mirror, the Yuanluo Bow, the Spiritual Fan, and the God-Slaying Sword, these five artifacts combined into one are extremely powerful and omnipotent. They can break destiny and reverse the fate of heaven and earth."
"So..." Jiang Zhaoxue understood and looked at him warily, "Are you here to get the artifact?"
"yes."
"But the Yuanluo Bow is already in Pei Zichen's hands." Jiang Zhaoxue stared at Shen Yuqing, "How are you going to take it?"
Shen Yuqing remained silent. Jiang Zhaoxue laughed and jokingly said, "You don't want to kill him to get the treasure, do you?"
"What is his identity?"
Shen Yuqing suddenly spoke, Jiang Zhaoxue paused, and then saw Shen Yuqing flip his hand, and the Time Mirror appeared in Shen Yuqing's hand.
Blue spiritual energy flowed out, enveloping the entire room. Jiang Zhaoxue frowned slightly, and saw Shen Yuqing calmly say: "The artifact of Lord Haocang has the ability to block the prying eyes of the Book of Destiny. Tell me," he said seriously, "what is so special about Pei Zichen, and why do you save him again and again?"
Jiang Zhaoxue listened, his eyes falling on Xunshijing.
Shen Yuqing's initiative to isolate the Book of Destiny was a gesture of goodwill.
She was silent for a moment, then jokingly said, "Don't you suspect that I'm fickle and having an affair?"
"Although I am angry, I am not confused about right and wrong. Pei Zichen is my disciple," Shen Yuqing said firmly, "Although I have never taught him personally, I understand his temperament. You would not do such a thing that goes against human ethics and morality, and he would certainly not do it either."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened and chuckled, but felt a little uneasy in his heart.
But when she realized it was all an illusion, she immediately regained her composure, sat up straight, and said half-truthfully, "There really is nothing between him and me. I saved him because I entered the Seventh Realm before the Nine Nether Realm barrier was broken."
Shen Yuqing was stunned when he heard this. Jiang Zhaoxue saw his surprise and smiled, saying, "A Fate Master who has reached the Seventh Realm can begin to glimpse the truth of the laws of heaven and earth. I calculated that he is a person of great fortune and his life is not doomed. If I help him, I can share his fortune, so I rushed over to Wu Yuelin."
"He can block the Heart Contract?" Shen Yuqing quickly reacted, his eyes turning colder. "I had a hunch that you were there."
But he didn't sense her.
"That's right," Jiang Zhaoxue knew he had guessed it, so she simply said openly, "I'm still listening to you and Mu Jinyue talking about me."
Shen Yuqing's eyes flickered, and she remembered what she had said. She curled her fingers slightly and said, "So even when the fire poison took effect, you refused to ask me for help."
"Isn't this because I'm afraid you'll dig out my spiritual roots?" Jiang Zhaoxue said with a smile, "I'm trying every possible way to escape from the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion and save my life. How dare I alarm the Pavilion Master?"
Shen Yuqing's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he continued to ask, "So you interfered with the Punishment Hall to protect him, and jumped off the cliff with him because you thought he shouldn't die?"
"I'm the demon cultivator you sensed in Wuyuelin," Jiang Zhaoxue said seriously. "I was the one who repaired the Nine Netherworld Realm barrier. I know exactly what happened. Wen Xiaoan framed his disciples to protect his own family, so I didn't know. But now that you know, how can you expect me to just sit back and watch?"
"So you saved him and hid it from me because you believed in justice and wanted to share Pei Zichen's luck."
"You could say that."
Jiang Zhaoxue nodded, knowing what he was going to ask. Without him having to ask, she continued, "Once we got down from the cliff, the path ahead wasn't mine to choose. When I arrived in this small world, my spiritual power was restricted, and then I became blind. I had to rely on Pei Zichen's protection. A month after arriving here, I was sent away by the Tracing Light Mirror for using my spiritual power. Before we parted, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find Pei Zichen, so I signed a life-serving contract with him."
Jiang Zhaoxue thought about all the questions he might want to ask, and kept saying, "I'm just hiding from you..."
She paused, remembering the lie Pei Zichen had told.
Although Pei Zichen lied and concealed the news that Shen Yuqing would not kill him, Yuan Luogong told her, which was exactly what she wanted. At this moment, she could not let Shen Yuqing find out that it was Pei Zichen who lied, so she covered it up and said, "Later, you can ask Pei Zichen to send a message saying that you will not kill him, but I know that Yuan Luogong is with him. I was afraid that you would not leave the artifact with a rebellious disciple, so I took him away. As for hurting you——"
Jiang Zhaoxue raised her eyes: "That little injury shouldn't be a big deal, right?"
Jiang Zhaoxue thought for a moment and said soothingly, "If you're really upset, just think about all the times I've helped you. You owe me a lot." When she talked about the past, Jiang Zhaoxue's expression faded a bit. "Just pick any one of them, and it should be enough to make up for it."
Shen Yuqing didn't say anything, he just looked into her eyes quietly all the way.
Jiang Zhaoxue felt uncomfortable being stared at, and turned away, not wanting to look at him. "Anyway, that's what happened. I know that whether it was signing a life-serving contract with Pei Zichen or jumping off a cliff with him in public, it would damage the reputation of the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion. But it was all my fault, and I take full responsibility. He was only seventeen at the time, so it's absolutely unreasonable to hold him responsible."
As she spoke, she leaned against the armrest and casually said, "You know his temperament. After he knew he was Forsaken, although he was wronged, he never hated you, let alone the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion. He fled when he saw you, and it was all my instructions. He is still a disciple of the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion. The artifact is in his possession, which is equivalent to being in the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion. In addition, he is my servant. If you really want to kill someone to get the treasure, I cannot agree. Today, you want the artifact. Instead of killing him, you should consider training him well. If you are at ease, you can leave this matter to me. Just go back to the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion and wait. I will take him to find the artifact. After we find it, I will return him to the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion intact."
But she couldn't say whether the person sent back would be a genius with a magical weapon or a useless person with all his spiritual power stripped away.
Jiang Zhaoxue said, waiting for Shen Yuqing's response.
She knew that these words were not enough to make Shen Yuqing give up the artifact, but at least it could make Shen Yuqing have a better impression of Pei Zichen and make him think about it.
With a seventh-level fortune teller and Pei Zichen in the Nascent Soul stage, Shen Yuqing would have to pay with half his life if he wanted to seize the artifact.
She fanned herself, observing Shen Yuqing's expression and trying to figure out what he was thinking.
However, no emotion could be seen on the face of the person in front of him. Ever since he became the head of the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion, he had become less and less expressive, making it difficult to guess his true thoughts.
Sure enough, after waiting for a moment, he said without thinking, "Recall the spell that can break the contract."
Unexpectedly confused, and unexpectedly surprised by the request, Jiang Zhaoxue leaned forward slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I haven't broken the Dao Couple Contract," Shen Yuqing lowered his eyes and whispered, "If you recall the spell to break the contract now, you and I will still be husband and wife. He is my disciple and your servant. As your elder, I can help him find the artifact."
"You mean..." Jiang Zhaoxue sorted out, "as long as I recall the spell that removes the Dao Couple Contract and we continue to be husband and wife, you will help Pei Zichen find the artifact?"
"yes."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue twirled her fan, pondered carefully, and understood what Shen Yuqing meant: "Are you afraid that I will take him away?"
After hearing this, Shen Yuqing looked at Jiang Zhaoxue coldly.
Jiang Zhaoxue pondered, "He's my lifeguard. Are you afraid that after he gets the artifact, I'll force him to go to Penglai? So you want to keep me in the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion in the name of husband and wife so that you can control him?"
"After I go back, I will find my master and ask for the Book of Destiny," Shen Yuqing said coldly, "I will find a way to break the contract with the Destiny Servant. Then you and him can break the contract and we are clear. From then on, you two will have nothing to do with each other."
Jiang Zhaoxue paused, completely confused, and blurted out, "What are you trying to do?"
Shen Yuqing didn't say anything, just looked into her eyes quietly.
Jiang Zhaoxue thought for a moment and then asked tentatively, "For your sense of responsibility? For the reputation of the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion?"
"Why not you?"
As soon as Shen Yuqing opened his mouth, Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned.
He turned his head and looked at the flickering candlelight beside him with a somewhat dejected look. He said in a hoarse voice, "No matter if you forced me or others coerced me, you gave me the Heart Contract. I owe you my life. I am your husband and I must protect you for the rest of my life. For you, I can't kill Pei Zichen. If I kill him, you will be seriously injured. So my only way is to help him."
"The premise is that I am your wife?"
Jiang Zhaoxue understood his train of thought, but Shen Yuqing did not respond.
Jiang Zhaoxue thought for a moment and said, "Actually... if you're grateful out of a sense of responsibility, why not untie the Dao Companion Contract, give me some more Spiritual Stones and Secret Manuals, and leave? I might be better off then."
"Better?" Shen Yuqing's brows showed a rare hint of sarcasm, and he sneered, "Is it better to be a wanderer, unable to wear even a piece of top-grade cloud brocade, or to be better off with Kunlun white jade, or to be blind, injured, and in constant danger?! If you leave me..."
"It won't hurt when I suppress the fire poison."
Jiang Zhaoxue interrupted him.
Shen Yuqing's movements froze slightly as he listened to Jiang Zhaoxue's calm and gentle words, "I no longer have to worry about not having hundreds of talismans with me. I don't have to listen to anyone's sarcasm. I don't have to toss and turn in bed because Mu Jinyue can live in Luoxia Mountain while I can only enter after reporting. I won't have to listen to people saying that I'm a difficult demon cultivator and unworthy of your Lingjian Immortal Pavilion. I ride cranes, drink fine wine, and travel around with a young disciple to kill evil. Everyone calls me Immortal Master and is grateful. I can't wear cloud brocade or Kunlun white jade, but Chen Zeyuan," Jiang Zhaoxue smiled and raised his hand to his chest, "I've been very happy these past few years without you, so if it's for your own good, why not let me..."
"Isn't it possible for me to do this?"
Shen Yuqing suddenly spoke, seemingly unwilling.
Jiang Zhaoxue was puzzled, and then he heard him ask in a hoarse voice: "Hasn't Chen Zeyuan done this before?"
"Then why not do it for two hundred years?" Jiang Zhaoxue blurted out, coldly saying, "If you can't do it, you can say that's just your nature. But you can do it but don't, which shows that you have no self in your heart. If that's the case, why force me to stay?"
"How can a marriage between two sects be a joke?"
Shen Yuqing spoke without hesitation, looking up at Jiang Zhaoxue: "It was you who wanted to get married back then, how could you just come and go as you please?!"
Jiang Zhaoxue listened and looked at him quietly. Shen Yuqing seemed to feel embarrassed and turned away: "Besides, since you want to save Pei Zichen's life now, you should know that I can't hand over the artifact to the servant of the outer sect master. Now there are only two choices between you and me. Either I kill Pei Zichen and take you back. Or you stay and we help Pei Zichen get the artifact together. You just think that I didn't do it well..."
Shen Yuqing paused, as if struggling for a long time, before he said with difficulty: "I can change it."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened and roughly understood Shen Yuqing's thinking.
If she and he were not husband and wife, Shen Yuqing would not feel at ease leaving the artifact in Pei Zichen's possession.
Even though they are husband and wife, the artifact is in Pei Zichen's possession only because Shen Yuqing weighed the pros and cons and didn't want to end up hurting both of them.
Moreover, Shen Yuqing was proud and arrogant. If she offered to leave without letting him try, he probably wouldn't let her go with peace of mind.
"It's over."
After seeing Jiang Zhaoxue's analysis, Anan immediately said, "You can't get rid of this sticky piece of candy."
"How come?"
Jiang Zhaoxue thought about it silently, then simply said, "Then let's make a bet."
Her tone was too calm, and Shen Yuqing knew that she had a plan. He raised his eyes coldly and saw Jiang Zhaoxue's eyes falling on the long sword placed on the table beside him.
The tassel of the long sword hung beside it. It was the peace knot she had woven for him that year, but a round white jade buckle had been added to the peace knot at some point.
Such a delicate thing must have been done by a woman.
Jiang Zhaoxue tapped the table lightly, thinking: "Didn't you say you could change? Then I'll give you some time... until you find the artifact and return to the True Fairyland? During this period, I can pretend that I haven't broken the contract, and you help Pei Zichen get the artifact, but you have to promise -"
Jiang Zhaoxue raised his eyelids and said in an extremely cold tone, "During this period of time, between Mu Jinyue and me, I will always take priority."
Shen Yuqing listened and understood what she meant: "Do you think I can't do it?"
Jiang Zhaoxue laughed and said firmly, "I can't do it."
Not to mention that according to his personality, it was impossible for him to give up Mu Jinyue. Even if he could, the plot would not allow it.
She only knew what she could see in the book, and she was not clear about many details of the plot between the three of them, but she also knew that there was a period of time when Shen Yuqing and Mu Jinyue went to find Pei Zichen together. It was said that Pei Zichen and Mu Jinyue developed feelings during this period. In order to help Pei Zichen get the artifact, Mu Jinyue was in danger several times. Based on the number of times she sensed that Shen Yuqing was stabbed in the Lingjian Immortal Pavilion and the news she heard later, it can be inferred that Mu Jinyue was in danger at least five times or more.
It was impossible for Shen Yuqing to watch Mu Jinyue die, let alone Mu Jinyue, even if it was an ordinary person, it would be impossible.
According to Shen Yuqing's personality, he now feels that he can make corrections. He will not agree to force the termination of the contract. Only by letting him know that he can't change anything at all will it be possible for him to truly let go.
So she made a bet that he couldn't do and that if he lost it would prove that he was incompetent in the marriage.
Only with such a bet would Shen Yuqing agree, and she was sure of winning, and she could also borrow his power and get some other things.
Shen Yuqing listened to her words without saying anything. After thinking for a moment, he understood her request and asked, "What you mean by 'when you haven't released the contract', do you mean you are still my wife and we still get along like before?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Zhaoxue paused slightly, and Pei Zichen's face flashed through her mind for a moment.
Anan screamed instantly: "No! Pei Zichen will go crazy!!"
Seeing her hesitation, Shen Yuqing immediately said, "If you are like this now, what difference does it make whether I gamble or not?"
"Then it's up to you."
Jiang Zhaoxue thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
After all, it wasn't a big deal, and she shouldn't worry about Pei Zichen.
"What about what you said about always taking priority? If it is a life-or-death situation, you can live, but she must be saved in order to live." Shen Yuqing continued to discuss.
"I can give you three chances."
Jiang Zhaoxue knew that he must be trying to seize the opportunity.
If he couldn't care about life and death, even if it was a passerby, Shen Yuqing couldn't guarantee that he could do it.
Shen Yuqing would not agree to such a losing bet.
So she gave him some time to recover, raised her finger, and her voice turned a little colder. "I don't care what the reason is, whether it's morality or life and death. As long as you choose her three times, then get out of here as far as you can. The matter of the artifact has nothing to do with you anymore. You will also cancel the Taoist Companion Contract. Hand over Pei Zichen's Soul Lantern to me, return everything that Penglai sent to the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion, and give me two more spiritual veins. I will open the Sword Mountain and let Penglai disciples enter the mountain and choose a hundred famous swords. How do you do it?"
Pei Zichen is a disciple of the Lingjian Xian Pavilion. All disciples of the Lingjian Xian Pavilion will light a soul lamp when they enter the pavilion. That is where a wisp of Pei Zichen's soul resides. It can be used to observe the safety of the disciples, but it can also be a threat when necessary.
Spiritual veins are the foundation of all sects. The total number of spiritual veins in Lingjian Xian Pavilion is only dozens. When Jiang Zhaoyue asked for ten spiritual veins if Jiang Zhaoxue died, it was an act of completely cutting off the inheritance of Lingjian Xian Pavilion.
Now she wants two spirit veins, which is equivalent to taking away two-tenths of the property of Lingjian Xian Pavilion.
As for the Sword Mountain of the Lingjian Immortal Pavilion, it is a secret place for disciples to practice.
Famous swords are passed down from generation to generation. One hundred swords. Even though Shen Yuqing is the Pavilion Master, this is not something he can handle easily.
Shen Yuqing thought about it and replied, "Okay."
Seeing that he agreed, Jiang Zhaoxue was quite happy. He stood up and walked to him. Looking at the person sitting in front of him, he raised his hand and said, "Then let's high-five to swear an oath."
By clapping hands together to swear an oath, the oath will be bound by the laws of nature. If it is not fulfilled, there will be corresponding backlash.
Shen Yuqing listened to her and turned to look at her palm.
Her hands were white and smooth, completely different from those of the sword cultivator. The marriage rope on her ring finger looked particularly bright against her skin tone, but they all knew that the power of this marriage rope was far less than before.
Not only that, Shen Yuqing always had a feeling that something was wrong.
He stared at the marriage rope. Although she had used magic to hide Pei Zichen's marriage rope, Jiang Zhaoxue still felt a little guilty under his gaze and urged, "Why, you don't dare?"
"Nothing to be afraid of."
Shen Yuqing withdrew his gaze, suppressed his wandering thoughts, raised his hand and placed it on her palm.
The marriage rope is for men on the left and women on the right. When they are put together, the two marriage ropes just touch each other.
Only Shen Yuqing's spiritual power remained in the Dao Couple Contract that had been released by her, but at the moment when the marriage ropes touched, the Dao Couple Contract still emerged and rotated above the fingertips of the two.
"This is a deal," Shen Yuqing suppressed the slight throbbing sensation brought on by his touch, looked at her, and spoke seriously, "From this moment on, whether you have released the contract or not, you are my wife, and we will get along as before. If I can guarantee that you are more important than Mu Jinyue, when we return to the True Immortal Realm, you will recall the spell to release the contract, and we will form a Taoist Companion Contract, keeping the promise of being together forever, for life after life. And this contract is a private matter between you and me, and cannot be disclosed to third parties."
"Let's high-five and swear an oath," Jiang Zhaoxue said calmly. "During this period, you help Pei Zichen obtain the artifact. If you abandon me for Mu Jinyue three or more times, you will untie the Dao Companion Contract and leave. You will also return all the money I brought from Penglai, give me two more spiritual veins, open Sword Mountain, and allow Penglai disciples to enter the mountain and choose one hundred famous swords."
"Once we make an alliance, we will never regret it, no matter life or death." Jiang Zhaoxue spoke first.
Shen Yuqing knew what she wanted and said calmly, "If you violate this agreement, you will be punished by heaven and earth."
After hearing Shen Yuqing say "Heaven and earth will destroy you", Jiang Zhaoxue finally felt relieved, knowing that the bet was truly accepted.
There is a constraint of backlash, this is the real way to deal with Shen Yuqing.
The two of them agreed, and Jiang Zhaoxue said no more. She put her hands away, remembering her promise to see his child and Qian Sisi today. She said no more, "We'll discuss the specifics with my disciples tomorrow. I promised someone today to go find him, so I'll go find him first."
"Who are you looking for?"
"A child." Jiang Zhaoxue thought of the mute child in the prison and felt a little uneasy. She turned and walked out, explaining to Shen Yuqing, "I just met him in Shengsi Manor."
As she spoke, her shadow on the window grille got closer and closer. Pei Zichen knew they had finished their conversation and hurried forward.
Pei Zichen had been waiting outside for a long time. He could not hear their conversation, and he did not dare to go against Jiang Zhaoxue's wishes and break in. He could only guess the situation inside from the shadows of the two people.
At first they sat on both sides separately, but in the end they stood with their hands clasped together, and he knew something was wrong.
His heart was beating fast, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope. The moment Jiang Zhaoxue opened the door, he immediately went to greet her and said anxiously, "My Lady..."
"Master's Wife."
As soon as Pei Zichen finished speaking, Shen Yuqing's voice came from the room.
Pei Zichen paused, slowly raised his eyes, and saw clearly the man in the room with the marriage rope in his hand.
He was dressed in blood-stained white clothes, with a long sword on his back and a whisk in his hand. He was exactly the man he had admired and secretly learned from countless times when he was young.
The two people were separated by the open door, one inside and one outside, one bright and one dark.
Shen Yuqing glanced sideways in the bright candlelight, looking at the disciple at the door who was obviously an adult. She finally said what she had been holding back for a long time: "You should call her Master's Wife."

The author has something to say: The New Year is approaching, and people around me are starting to go home one after another.
But I am determined to spend this year with my keyboard!! [Rose]
【Small Theater】
Shen Yuqing: "I am your legitimate husband, recognized by all, having made a vow of companionship with heaven and earth."
Pei Zichen: "Me too!"
Shen Yuqing: "Does dreaming in your fantasy world count?"
Pei Zichen: "You've been divorced, so why can't I?"
Shen Yuqing: "Don't talk nonsense, my marriage rope is still there."
Pei Zichen: "You talk as if I didn't have it."
Shen Yuqing: "I have a license to work here! I am her attendant, I am her Taoist companion!"
Pei Zichen: "I have one more proof than you. I have the Dao Companion Contract, with the marriage rope as witness; the Life Servant Contract, I made it for real, you made it verbally. Oh, and I have one more that you don't have, the Soul Locking Formation, which makes my whole body belong to the Lady forever. You decide which one is more legitimate?"
Shen Yuqing: "Reverse the Tiangang! Reverse the Tiangang!"
