Ning Yao explained, "You can get married, that's called a Daoist couple. If you marry an ordinary person, it's just an ordinary marriage. You may not age and your lifespan may increase, but she may grow old and die."
Isn't this a tragedy?
"If you marry someone who also cultivates immortality, you two can progress together. This is mutually beneficial and a win-win situation. Do you understand?"
Shen Ci'an suddenly asked, "What do you think of me?"
"What?"
"How about you choose me as your Daoist partner?"
Ning Yao stared at Shen Ci'an with her big eyes.
Are you really serious?
Shen Ci'an was somewhat hurt, but still firmly said, "My feelings have never changed over the years."
“You used to be the second young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo’s mansion, and I was the heir of the Prince Duan’s mansion. We were considered a good match.”
"Now you are the sect leader of the number one immortal sect in the world, while I am just a nobleman in the mortal world. We are already separated by an insurmountable gap."
"Although I have now embarked on the path of cultivation, I am still far behind you."
"My feelings haven't changed since I was young, and they never will. If possible, sister, I hope you can give me a chance."
Shen Ci'an's soft "sister" seemed to pull Ning Yao back to the person who had spoken so firmly back then, saying that she would marry no one but her.
He didn't mind when she said she was a widow.
The world has changed countless times, but Shen Ci'an remains the same as before.
Looking at the beautiful face before her, Ning Yao felt that she hadn't lost out.
Or else? You just agree?
The communication stone at his waist suddenly lit up; it was the Thousand Illusions Sect.
Ning Yao looked at Shen Ci'an: "The path to immortality is endless, and I will not wait for you in the same place."
"Shen Ci'an, I agree, but if you can't catch up with me, I can back out!"
After saying that, Ning Yao got up to deal with the affairs of the Thousand Illusions Sect.
Only Shen Ci'an remained.
The early summer sun wasn't too hot, but Shen Ci'an felt burning hot all over.
His Yao Yao agreed!
The person he liked since childhood has now said yes to him!
Shen Ci was overjoyed and could not contain his excitement.
They were incredibly excited, as if they had been struck by lightning.
Unable to contain his joy, he returned to his study, immediately picked up his pen, and wrote a lengthy letter to Prince Duan and his wife.
The letter contained a lot of information, but almost all of it revolved around the fact that "I finally won over my white moonlight."
After finishing her business with the Thousand Illusions Sect, Ning Yao remembered her promise to Shen Ci'an.
There was no feeling of rejection, only a moment of disorientation.
From a secret agent in her past life to a cannon fodder character who transmigrates into a book and reverses her fate.
And now, they shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the immortal path.
It seems that nothing is static.
"In that case, let's see how far we can go?"
The third year of the new emperor's reign was also the second year that Ning Yao returned to the capital with Shen Ci'an.
The imperial court granted a special imperial examination.
Lin Qingyu participated in the imperial examination as he wished, and passed with flying colors, becoming the top scholar of that year.
This marked the beginning of his career as an official.
At the same time, Ning Que Linyu also came to the capital with Lin Qingyu.
But he didn't stay long before returning to the Thousand Illusions Sect to take charge.
The second sect election is about to begin, and Ning Yao and Ning Que Linyu must either return.
The task of teaching Lin Qingyu fell to Ning Yao.
In addition to her own cultivation, Ning Yao now also teaches Shen Ci'an, Lin Qingyu, and Fu Yanshu.
Lin Qingyu rose to the rank of Academician of the Hanlin Academy, and Zhao Xin followed him to the capital.
The two had already married and now had a two-year-old son named Zhao Hongyang.
For convenience, the Lin family bought a house next to the Prince Duan's mansion.
Although this street is inhabited by princes, dukes, and high-ranking officials.
But the Lin family's desire to live here was solely due to the new emperor's word.
Among the emperor's close advisors, none dared to speak out.
Time flies, and two years have passed in no time.
The people of Chu lived in peace and contentment.
The development proceeded step by step according to Ning Yao's manuscript, and Ning Yao herself had been in charge for the past two years.
The development of the State of Chu was far beyond what the States of Xia and Sheng could achieve.
Whether in commerce or agriculture, they were giants in the Three Kingdoms period.
The people are well-fed and clothed, and the soldiers are not hungry or cold.
There have been no more cases of people freezing to death on the roads.
What's even more amazing is that the disciples selected by the Thousand Illusions Sect in the first two selections have shown a clear difference in skill level after two years of training.
However, two-thirds of those who agreed to the request were from the State of Chu.
Of course, this could also be because the other two countries have fewer disciples.
However, this situation greatly boosted the morale of the people of Chu.
I heard that the number of disciples in the third cohort is more than the combined number of the previous two years.
They are determined to bring glory to their country.
After listening to her father's rambling, Ning Yao only gave two instructions: "You can't go wrong by listening to Uncle Ning. When I'm not around, he can make the decisions."
Ning Wenyi nodded: "Of course, no one dares to disobey the words of our ancestors."
"But Yao Yao, the two-year agreement we made has expired. Are you ready to come back?"
Although his daughter occasionally returned to the Thousand Illusions Sect, Ning Wenyi always felt uneasy.
Ning Yao looked up at the commotion outside.
Fu Yanshu is already two and a half years old, and in three more years he will reach the age agreed upon by Ning Yao and the Fu family.
The little guy is exceptionally talented, no less so than Aunt Nanshan, and his cultivation speed is extremely fast.
He also regularly led the Fu family in physical fitness exercises, all for the sake of their longevity and good health.
However, with Fu Yanshu by his side, there was no need to worry about cultivation resources.
The boy playing with Fu Yanshu was Lin Qingyu's eldest son, Zhao Hongyang, who was a little over a year older than Fu Yanshu and was now four years old.
Zhao Hongyang has no spiritual root, but he is a good student.
At such a young age, he was already well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics, and Lin Qingyu had already begun to groom him for her own position.
Many political matters are discussed with him and his opinions are sought.
Grandpa Zhao adored his grandson.
The eldest son will carry on the Zhao family's legacy, so Lin Qingyu and his wife will not have only one child.
Zhao Hongyang is now four years old, and Zhao Xin is pregnant again.
It's been five months now. Ning Yao took her pulse and said it looked like twins.
This made Mr. and Mrs. Lin Qingyu very happy.
If it really is twins, then the promise made back then can be fulfilled this time.
The Zhao family's reputation rests on Zhao Hongyang, while the Lin and Wen families' reputations depend on Zhao Xin's twins this time.
What Ning Yao didn't say was that this pregnancy might not be as simple as they imagined.
To facilitate Shen Ci'an and the others' cultivation, she dug a lotus pond in the Duan Prince's Mansion and poured some spiritual spring water into it.
Many spiritual plants were transplanted around the lotus pond.
Unlike the Eightfold Mountain of the Thousand Illusions Sect, it is almost identical except that there are no golden lotuses in the lotus pond.
He then personally deployed a large formation, enveloping the Prince Duan's residence and the Lin family within it.
This ensures that the spiritual energy only flows between the two households and does not overflow.
Zhao Xin had been living in the Lin family mansion since before she became pregnant, and she absorbed spiritual energy intentionally or unintentionally.
After becoming pregnant, she couldn't help but often sit by the lotus pond in Prince Duan's mansion.
The fetus is the purest; it loves spiritual energy, and spiritual energy loves it in return.
The result of their mutual efforts destined Zhao Xin's pregnancy to be extraordinary!
