The two had just pushed open the door of the Demon-Suppressing Temple when they encountered someone who should never have been there.
It was Duanmu Xin, who had disappeared since the return of Cangling Domain, which could also be described as destiny.
Ye Sisi stared at him in shock, wondering when he had arrived. How could such demonic energy have escaped the notice of the Transcending Tribulation expert guarding this area?
Upon seeing the two, Duanmu Xin gracefully extended his hand and said with a smile, "Sit down and have a cup of tea."
Beside him was a spotless table and three chairs. On the table were a teapot and three teacups, two of which were upside down, and the third contained steaming hot tea.
Clearly, the remaining two teacups and chairs were prepared for them; he had known they were coming all along.
Ye Sisi looked at Su Jiuli. For a moment, she really didn't know what to say. His face was still the same face, with deep-set eyes, handsome and extraordinary, and his temperament was as good as ever.
But he is destiny, the destiny that willingly abandons the path of sainthood, the destiny that can make deals with the gods of the outer heavens, the destiny that seems to have everything under its control.
Ye Sisi admired him from the bottom of her heart, but he was indeed a little intimidated.
Don't call her a coward; anyone who's been there knows how chilling it is to deal with someone like that.
Especially seeing that warm smile and the two overturned teacups on the table, she felt that the other person had been waiting for them for a long time. He was certain that they would come. How did this person calculate that?
Right, is it because of the return of the Heavenly Dao? If she remembered correctly, Zheng Xiangyi and the others had said that Yun Chu, the second incarnation of the Heavenly Mandate, was a very powerful divination cultivator.
Since the Heavenly Dao of the Spirit Realm was perfected, the Tianji Sect has become very popular. Originally, the Heavenly Dao of the Spirit Realm was incomplete, and it was also eroded by the will to destroy the world, so the Spirit Realm no longer had divination cultivators.
There was no other way; learning the Tianji Deduction technique was useless since the predictions were all inaccurate. Unable to support myself, I naturally had to change careers.
Even if there are still sects that preserve the tradition of divination cultivation, it still takes time to start cultivating from scratch.
However, the Tianji Sect is different. They have a complete inheritance. Although the highest cultivation level they had before was only the Nascent Soul stage, with the return of the Cangling Domain, the Nascent Soul stage master and others broke through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage one by one. Among them were his exceptionally lazy eldest disciple Song Jue and his second disciple Nalan Yunye, who only wanted to be a sword cultivator.
Getting back to the point, thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that a top-tier diviner with extraordinary talent, capable of predicting trends over millennia, could foresee their arrival.
Su Jiuli's expression didn't change much; whether he was shocked or not, only he himself knew.
"Junior Su Jiuli greets Senior Tianming."
Ye Sisi quickly followed suit and bowed. She had been thinking too much and was so shocked that she had forgotten to bow to this big shot for a moment.
Duanmu Xin stepped aside, waving his folding fan, and said, "Hey, hey, hey, don't do this. It'll shorten my lifespan, you know?"
Ye Sisi...
All she wanted to say at that moment was, "Whatever makes you happy."
"We're old acquaintances, so don't be so polite. Come on, try my Tianyuan Tea!"
Ye Sisi and Su Jiuli sat down as instructed. Duanmu Xin picked up the teapot and teacups and poured each of them a cup of still-steaming tea.
"Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"
Ye Sisi shook her head. At this moment, even the most gluttonous person wouldn't want to eat. Although she didn't know why, she just felt a strange tension.
She felt that something would happen every time she met Duanmu Xin, and now that she knew Duanmu Xin's true identity, coupled with this eerie environment, it would be strange if she wasn't nervous.
"But I'm hungry. It's been so long since I've had any good food from the Tianling Sect's food stalls."
Ye Sisi...
Su Jiuli...
Although Ye Sisi was helpless, what could she do but take out some food from her spatial ring?
After taking a sip of the Heavenly Fate Tea, Su Jiuli asked with a smile, "Senior Tianming waited for us here specifically for tea and a meal, surely not just for tea and a meal?"
Duanmu Xin picked up a plump rice dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, his face full of satisfaction. Then he mumbled, "Don't call me Tianming. My name is Duanmu Xin. You can still call me Duanmu Xin or Fellow Daoist Duanmu as before. Otherwise, it sounds awkward to me."
Ye Sisi looked at Su Jiuli without saying a word. Anyway, she didn't want to talk today, so she decided to leave it to her senior brother.
"Fellow Daoist Duanmu, at this point, let's be frank. We both know that we don't have much time left."
Duanmu Xin picked up another pastry, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it before saying, "No matter what, there's no rush for a meal."
Ye Sisi was speechless. She simply picked up a peach blossom pastry and stuffed it into her mouth. Seeing that there was no use in being anxious, she might as well eat something she liked.
Duanmu Xin smiled and said, "That's right. Fellow Daoist Su, don't be shy, there's enough to eat."
Su Jiuli...
"Believe me, have a good meal, and you won't have this kind of comfortable life for a while."
Ye Sisi frowned: "What does Fellow Daoist Duanmu mean by this?"
Duanmu Xin glanced at Su Jiuli, then smiled and said, "Next, you'll have to come with me to the Nine Netherworld."
Su Jiuli shook her head: "I can go, but she can't."
Duanmu Xin laughed and said, "You've got it backwards. You don't have to go, but she has to."
Su Jiuli's gentle and refined features suddenly sharpened like a sword: "I told you she can't go."
Ye Sisi silently sat back a little. She knew it; seeing Duanmu Xin was never a good thing.
