Chapter 1084 That is the Will of Heaven
"You must be Master Song. I've come here specifically to apologize to you. Today's events were all caused by me, which has led to a rift between you all. I am extremely uneasy about this."
Qingyun looked at Song Chunxue, bowed and cupped his hands, "Senior brother misunderstood my relationship with Lord Xie, please... don't be too sad. I don't know how to make you forgive me, but as long as you are at ease, or can help you reconcile, I am willing to do anything."
Song Chunxue smiled faintly, "What can you do? Lord Xie doesn't even remember that we had a close relationship. You're always hanging around in front of him, are you trying to take my place in his life?"
“I dislike hypocritical apologies the most. Please leave. Our affairs are none of the business of outsiders.” Song Chunxue strode down the steps. “Once your senior brother wakes up, I will definitely have a good talk with him. I won’t be at peace until I have a fight with him.”
Qingyun chased after him, "Master Song, that's not what I meant... I just sincerely wanted to help you."
"Then just do it. Stop hanging around in front of me. I don't like seeing you." Song Chunxue said bluntly. "This whole thing started because you were after me. Don't you understand that I'll hate you?"
Qingyun suddenly stopped.
Song Chunxue quickly walked down the long steps and arrived at the corridor where her senior brother and Daoist Han had stood before.
"You've finally arrived," Zhang Chengxuan said, waiting for her in the corridor. "Are you feeling any better?"
"Hmm, I'm alright now. I'm not as impulsive anymore, and the sadness has lessened a bit. But, I want to find Xie Zheng and ask him something." She touched the jade thumb ring on her hand. "Where is he?"
"You're in Master Han's room. Come out immediately." Zhang Chengxuan said helplessly, "If I had known you two would end up like this, I should have become Daoist partners a few days ago."
"What does this have to do with becoming Daoist partners?" Song Chunxue looked down at the patterns on the blue bricks on the ground. "I don't remember. Isn't it just going back to being strangers?"
Becoming Daoist partners is merely a ritual.
“There is still a big difference. You’ll know once you become Daoist partners.” Zhang Chengxuan thought of something and chuckled to himself. “But don’t be anxious or sad. Actually, I think this is a test. I can tell that you weren’t that concerned about becoming Daoist partners before, but Xie Zheng is different. He couldn’t wait any longer.”
"Really? Did he tell you?"
Zhang Chengxuan said irritably, "What am I supposed to do with these two eyes? They can't just be for venting my anger."
Song Chunxue looked up. "Why are you in such a hurry? Why are you yelling at me?"
She stopped. "I'm not going."
"Hey, hey, hey, I admit I was wrong, okay? If you leave, Xie Zheng will be sad too. I can't appease either of you," Zhang Chengxuan said helplessly, patting his thigh. "I must have owed you two something in my past life."
Seeing his reaction, Song Chunxue raised an eyebrow, "What did he do to you?"
"Hmph," Zhang Chengxuan snorted coldly, "He was quite normal before. He always liked to play chess and drink tea with me, and talk about the past and present. But after this incident, he's been openly and secretly jealous of me. He insists that I was afraid of dying and that's why I brought you two together. He always looks at me with resentment, as if I stole someone else's partner."
"..."
"Did you say something else that made him think there's something going on between us? The way he looks at me now, tsk, it gives me the creeps."
He walked around the corner pillar and urged helplessly, "You're not young anymore, why are you suddenly acting like a child? It's not a big deal, just explain your feelings again."
What he said was quite simple.
It's easy for someone standing there to talk the talk, without understanding the situation.
To an outsider, it might seem simple, but she just couldn't shake the feeling that way.
"You two have each other in your hearts, but you've gone from being an old married couple to the time when your hearts were just fluttering with love. Why are you two acting so awkward? This is something that ordinary couples want but can't ask for."
Zhang Chengxuan stopped outside a door. "Wait here, I'll call him out."
Song Chunxue stood outside the door, watching him push open the door, and couldn't help but peek inside.
The early summer breeze is cool and sweet, carrying nectar that seems to have been blown away from somewhere, making one feel slightly intoxicated.
The person inside was humbly seeking instruction from their master when a gentle breeze suddenly blew in. Turning their head, they saw a figure peering out from outside the door, and their cheeks flushed slightly.
Master Han shook his head helplessly, "Go out, just follow your heart, don't worry about the future. In this life, leave fewer regrets."
Xie Zheng had already stood up. Looking at the figure outside the door, he couldn't help but smile. "I understand, Master."
Master Han was about to give some more instructions when he saw his disciple scurrying out, grinning foolishly at Song Chunxue.
His dull and dazed appearance made him feel uncomfortable all over.
Fortunately, Zhang Chengxuan came in and closed the door.
"Have you looked at Xie Zheng's birth chart? Has there been any change in his marriage prospects?" Master Han picked up his teacup. "If Song Chunxue's birth chart weren't so inauspicious, would we be scratching our heads here?"
“I’ve looked at it, but I didn’t see the result,” Zhang Chengxuan poured himself a cup of tea and picked up some snacks. “But the patriarch warned me not to peek, which scared me so much that I broke out in a cold sweat and stopped looking closely.”
"Is that so?" Master Han tapped the table. "Then let nature take its course. If they are destined to go their separate ways in order to attain the Great Dao, then that is the will of Heaven."
"When shall we set off for Mount Kongtong?" Zhang Chengxuan still felt that it would be most reassuring to ask his master about this matter.
