Shen Lang is now starting to wonder if he has entered the wrong instance.
"Daoist Master, Shiya is Heaven..." Shen Lang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhang Daozong.
"The path of immortality and the path of demons are both paths! Besides, I believe this girl is a prodigy, and with proper guidance, her Heavenly Demon Body will not lead her astray. Her future achievements will certainly not be inferior to mine." Zhang Daozong looked at Qin Shiya, his eyes full of satisfaction.
Shen Lang turned to Qin Shiya and asked, "Shiya, what will you choose?"
Qin Shiya glanced at Shen Lang and Yu Xian'er, then at Zhang Daozong, and slowly said, "Husband, Sister Xian'er, I've decided to stay at Longhu Mountain for the time being."
Yu Xian'er walked up to Qin Shiya, took her hand, and said anxiously, "Shiya, think it over again."
Qin Shiya placed her other hand on Yu Xian'er's hand and smiled, "Sister, I know you mean well. But ever since I awakened, I've had a restless feeling in my heart. Although practicing the Heavenly Demon Strategy has some effect in suppressing it, it's ultimately just a temporary fix. After coming to Longhu Mountain, I feel much calmer, so I want to settle down here and not be a burden to you in the future."
Zhang Daozong nodded and said to Shen Lang, "This is the drawback of the Heavenly Demon Body. Although it is exceptionally gifted on the path of cultivation, without careful guidance, it may fall into evil ways and deviate from the righteous path in the future."
At this point, Zhang Daozong's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, "Brother Shen, rest assured, I took this girl in my personal capacity, not in the name of Longhu Mountain. It won't cause any unnecessary impact on your lives."
Shen Lang closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then looked at Qin Shiya and said, "Then you should first cultivate with the Taoist priest at Longhu Mountain, so that the Taoist priest can give you some guidance."
Qin Shiya nodded and said, "Yes, I will definitely live up to your and Sister Xian'er's expectations of me."
Then Shen Lang stood up, bowed slightly to Zhang Daozong, and said with his hands clasped, "Daoist Master, then I'll leave it to you."
Zhang Daozong smiled and waved his hand: "It is my great fortune to be able to take the Heavenly Demon Body as my disciple in my lifetime."
A misty haze appeared in Qin Shiya's eyes, tears welling up in them. She tried her best to control herself and prevent the tears from falling.
This parting may last for years.
The atmosphere of parting suddenly made Shen Lang feel a little down, and he lost his interest in sightseeing at Longhu Mountain.
He walked up to Qin Shiya, gently patted her head, and said in as calm and gentle a tone as possible, "Shiya, focus on your cultivation. When you return after completing your studies, your husband will pave a hundred-mile red road to welcome you."
Qin Shiya didn't speak, but gently hugged Shen Lang's waist, pressed her head against his chest, and listened attentively to her lover's heartbeat.
Silent tears quietly slid down that stunningly beautiful face and dripped onto the green grass.
Although the two have only known each other for two months, for Qin Shiya, these two months have been richer and more meaningful than her previous twenty-plus years of life.
But she understood that if she continued to stay by Shen Lang's side, she would only be a pretty face to him.
Although he had awakened the Heavenly Demon Body and mastered the Heavenly Demon Strategy, it was utterly useless to Shen Lang in terms of both strategy and combat power.
In terms of intelligence, she couldn't compare to Yu Xian'er. She couldn't even compare to Shuang'er.
In terms of combat strength, she was only slightly stronger than Xia Bingyan, who had not yet participated in the baptism, among the group.
But Xia Bingyan could do things that she couldn't.
Ever since Xia Bingyan founded the Canglang Group and left Qingyun Mountain, Qin Shiya has always felt that she is a useless burden.
This is also the reason why she decided to stay in Longhu Mountain and follow Zhang Daozong to cultivate.
She wanted to be a useful person who could help Shen Lang, not just a pretty face.
Qin Shiya did not come out to see him off at the gate of Longhu Mountain.
She didn't have the courage to watch Shen Lang leave her, fearing she wouldn't be able to control herself and would leave with him.
"Daoist Master, I'm leaving my sister in your care. Please let me know if you need anything." Yu Xian'er said sincerely to Zhang Daozong in front of the mountain gate.
Zhang Daozong nodded: "Miss Xian'er, you don't need to worry. Since I have taken Shiya as my last disciple, I will do my best to cultivate her into a talent."
"Although this girl's talent is not as good as yours and Brother Shen's, in the history of Yanhuang ancient martial arts over the past hundred years, she is an unparalleled genius."
With his back to Zhang Daozong, Shen Lang murmured calmly, "Master Zhang, I have entrusted my wife to you, and I do not expect her to change much."
“It was this girl’s own choice to become your disciple, and I respect that choice.”
Shen Lang slowly turned around, staring intently at Zhang Daozong, and said in an icy tone, "If she suffers even the slightest grievance at your Longhu Mountain, I think you know very well the consequences."
Yu Xian'er quickly took Shen Lang's hand and said with concern, "Husband..."
Shen Lang exhaled a breath of stale air, took Yu Xian'er's hand, and turned to leave: "Let's go."
Zhang Daozong watched Shen Lang and the others leave with a complicated expression, and muttered to himself with worry, "The arrival of this person who defied fate is a blessing or a curse for the common people and the world."
"May the good deeds we do today bear good fruit in the future."
Zhang Daoyan appeared behind Zhang Daozong at some point and bowed respectfully, saying, "Master."
Zhang Daozong didn't look at him, but said, "Boss, arrange a superior courtyard for your junior sister, and arrange ten female disciples to take care of her daily life. Remember to pick some clever ones who know how to make people happy."
"Junior Sister?" Zhang Daoyan was dumbfounded: "What's going on?"
Zhang Daozong said, "The Heavenly Demon Body who came with Brother Shen today has already become my disciple and will be your junior sister from now on. You should have someone take good care of her daily life, and there must be no mistakes."
Zhang Daoyan dared not refute this, and could only utter a number: "6!"
Zhang Daozong rolled his eyes and said, "I'm warning you, if you don't take good care of this little ancestor and he suffers any injustice, then Shen Lang will definitely storm Longhu Mountain. At that time, I will sacrifice you to cheer him on."
"Don't forget who Shen Lang is. He's someone even the Three Pure Ones wouldn't dare accept offerings from.
"Hiss!" Zhang Daoyan gasped upon hearing this: "Master, how could you bring back such a little troublemaker? Isn't he just causing me trouble!"
Zhang Daozong ignored his beloved disciple and turned to walk towards his thatched hut.
Walking halfway up the mountain, Shen Lang couldn't help but stop and look in the direction where the view was blocked by the hills.
Similarly, in the woods outside the gate of Longhu Mountain, Qin Shiya also looked in the direction where Shen Lang was.
"Oh my, little darling, what are you doing here?" Zhang Daoyan's voice suddenly rang out from behind Qin Shiya.
She quickly turned around, looked at Zhang Daoyan, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Celestial Master."
Zhang Daozong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You are the last disciple accepted by our master, so we are of the same generation. You can call me senior brother from now on."
"Yes, senior brother." Qin Shiya nodded.
"Your accommodations have been arranged. Come with your senior brother," Zhang Daoyan said with a gentle smile.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother." Qin Shiya said politely, and then followed Zhang Daoyan into the Longhu Mountain sect.
