Today, Yangjia Village is exceptionally lively. The dock is crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, and lined with boats of all sizes and types.
Each boat had a bright red flag flying from its roof, swaying gently in the breeze and adding a splash of color to the scene.
Mingze stood on the dock, his eyes fixed on every ship that docked.
Whenever a ship arrived at the dock, he would carefully examine each passenger disembarking, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Since yesterday, Mingze has been waiting at this dock, never leaving even a step, firmly believing that Li Xue will come.
After returning to the Xiaoyao Sect, Lin Weiguo told Jiang Wanwan everything that Mingze and Bailu had done over the past two days.
Therefore, Jiang Wanwan sent people to deliver three meals a day to Mingze on time to ensure that Mingze could continue to wait with peace of mind.
After all, Mingze and Bailuo have lost all their cultivation, and since they are still partners with the Xiaoyao Sect, they should be given some consideration.
Finally, as the sun began to set, Mingze spotted the beautiful figure on a ship.
Li Xue still wore her hair in a high ponytail today, her cat-like eyes were clear and bright, and her small face was curiously watching the pedestrians coming and going at Yangjia Village Wharf.
Li Xuegang reached the boat's entrance, ready to disembark.
Looking up, she saw Mingze not far away. He was dressed in a long blue robe, his posture upright, like a pine or cypress. His eyes were deep and bright, and he was looking at her from afar, his gaze revealing a hint of tenderness.
His blue robe fluttered in the wind, as if blending into the surrounding nature, making him appear even more ethereal and otherworldly.
Li Xue felt that the world was very quiet at this moment, as if only the two of them remained, gazing at each other like this, a glance that could be described as an eternity.
"Hey! Are you moving or not? Don't block the way!"
When the urging voices came from behind, Li Xue snapped out of her daze, apologized, and then jumped ashore on the swaying edge of the boat.
"Minor Snow!"
Mingze couldn't wait to walk up to Li Xue and greet her.
"Let's hurry! Otherwise, we'll be too late!"
After Mingze finished speaking, he pulled Li Xue straight to the Xiaoyao Sect.
Li Xue stared blankly at her hand being held, then began to calculate how much music theory she could still teach Mingze.
In that case, is it possible to keep him by my side?
However, she soon ran out of energy to think about anything else, because climbing the mountain was really tiring. The Xiaoyao Sect was located on the East Mountain, and it would take an ordinary person at least two hours to climb up.
When she arrived at the square of the Free and Unfettered Sect with trembling legs, she was only given the opportunity to take the test because of the letter of recommendation. The staff of the Free and Unfettered Sect were all preparing to pack up their stalls in the square!
"Brother Ming, you've finally arrived! I thought the person you recommended had given up on coming."
Huang Sicong took out a spirit-testing stone and beckoned Li Xue over to be tested.
Mingze quickly clasped his hands in thanks.
Li Xue then realized that she had received the recommendation letter because of Ming Ze. She nervously walked onto the stage and placed her hand on the spirit-testing stone, but the stone did not react.
Her face paled. So it really didn't work...
Seeing this, Huang Sicong shook his head and sighed, "You don't have spiritual roots, but you can choose to join a sect as a body cultivator!"
Li Xue shook her head and walked off the stage dejectedly. Mingze quickly followed her, looking at her with concern.
"It's alright, it's not a big deal if you can't cultivate," Mingze comforted her.
Li Xue smiled bitterly, "Mingze, we are destined to be from two different worlds..."
Mingze grabbed her hand and said earnestly, "Whether you can cultivate or not, I hope you can stay by my side."
Li Xue was stunned, looking into Mingze's eyes. Was this a disguised confession?
"Thank you, Mingze. But I still want to go home and calm down..." Li Xue said softly.
Mingze nodded slightly and said softly, "I'll take you."
Li Xue gently shook her head and replied softly, "No need. There are many people coming down the mountain right now, so you don't need to worry about my safety."
Mingze knew Xiaoxue's personality all too well, so he didn't insist on his own opinion, but obediently nodded in agreement.
After Li Xue gradually walked away into the distance.
Huang Sicong stared intently at Mingze, shaking his head and sighing repeatedly: "Ah! Brother Ming, I understand how you feel! How about we go for a drink together?"
As he spoke, he patted Mingze on the shoulder as a gesture of comfort.
Mingze clenched his fists tightly in secret, but finally nodded in agreement and then asked about Jiang Wanwan's whereabouts.
"I wonder when your sect leader will have some free time? I hope to have the opportunity to meet her!"
"Could it be because of that girl from earlier?" Huang Sicong asked casually.
Mingze nodded and said, "I owe her a lot, and I always want to do something for her!"
Huang Sicong walked to the side, muttering to himself: What do I owe her? Ha! He likes her, that's all! Why bother making excuses!
The next day, very early in the morning.
Jiang Wanwan received Mingze in the main hall of the Xiaoyao Sect.
"Fellow Daoist Ming, I heard you wanted to see me?"
Jiang Wanwan has been meditating and cultivating for the past two days and has touched a little of the barrier to advancement. She also asked Xiao Guang in private whether her Nascent Soul Tribulation would be the same as before and whether there would be any danger.
Xiao Guang told her to proceed with the advancement without any problems.
She had just begun her immersive cultivation when she received a message from Huang Sicong, forcing her to stop her cultivation and come to see Mingze.
"Sect Leader Jiang, please lend me your assistance and cure me of the Shadow Pill's poison. I hereby swear that once my cultivation is restored, I will never harm the Free and Unfettered Sect, nor bring disaster to the entire Ancient Blue Star. If I break this oath, I will surely be punished by Heaven!"
As he finished speaking, a rule of heaven and earth descended upon him.
Jiang Wanwan secretly asked Elder Xia, "Master, if this boy makes a vow here and breaks it, can he keep the vow?"
Elder Xia adjusted his glasses and transmitted his voice, "Of course he can. Even if he returns to the Nine Heavens Continent instead of Blue Star, he will still be left with inner demons if he breaks his oath!"
So, Jiang Wanwan cleared her throat and asked, "Fellow Daoist Ming, is there something you need to do?"
As far as she knew, Mingze should have been pleading for the person he liked to join the sect, so why would he suddenly want to restore his cultivation?
After thinking for a moment, Mingze revealed the truth: "I wish to personally venture out to find the Heavenly Fruit. I have read a legend in ancient books that a continent where spiritual energy is reviving will see the Heavenly Fruit. This fruit can cause those without spiritual roots to develop new ones, and the level of their spiritual root talent will be quite high!"
"real?"
Jiang Wanwan was a little excited, but quickly regained her composure and asked.
Mingze shook his head, a hint of uncertainty on his face: "I can't be sure either, but I still want to try and see if I can find anything. Besides, I also need to go out and find some resources to meet the sect's needs."
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Wanwan nodded, indicating her agreement to let Mingze go and search.
However, a sliver of hope remained in her heart.
Therefore, Jiang Wanwan decided to send Zhan Beiwang to accompany Mingze to ensure his safety and to provide guidance and support when necessary.
