Chapter 443
Although the sword-pointing transfer was very fast, it was a complete set of contract seals, which was relatively good for the old celestial master and the others, and the three of them woke up quickly.
However, for others, it can be quite difficult to digest and absorb it in a short period of time.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled, turned around, and strolled back to his residence.
Time passed, and night fell.
More and more people are awakening from their seclusion and meditation in the square in front of the Taoist Ancestor's Hall.
The three sect leaders were the first batch, and the second batch included Jiang Linglong, Shi Hao, Wang Ye, and others.
After Lu Xueqi woke up, she saw her master meditating on a futon in the Dao Ancestor Hall. She knew that in a few hours they would be completely separated, and she didn't know when they would meet again.
Finally, Lu Xueqi mustered her courage and walked towards the Taoist priest's main hall.
Lu Xueqi approached Master Zhishun and whispered, "Master."
Master Zhishun opened his eyes and looked at the disciple he had raised with his own hands, and smiled, "What's wrong? Is there something you don't understand about spirit beast contracts?"
Lu Xueqi shook her head slightly to indicate that it was not an understanding of the contract.
"Is it because you were reluctant to part with your master, junior sisters, and senior brothers as the time for separation drew near?"
Lu Xueqi had pearly white teeth and red lips, and her palms were sweaty. She nodded and then shook her head.
"This..." Seeing his usually decisive disciple looking so conflicted, Master Zhishun felt a chill run down his spine.
"Master, shall we go for a walk?"
Master Zhishun knew that his disciple must have something on his mind, otherwise he wouldn't be acting this way.
"Okay, going out for a walk is a good idea."
The master and his disciple walked out of the Dao Ancestor Hall and arrived at the edge of the Golden Summit Cliff.
Lord Zhishun stood with his hands behind his back, watching the busy little beasts in the herb garden below.
"Master, disciple, disciple has something to tell you." Lu Xueqi was extremely nervous, lowering her head and not daring to look at her master. However, they were now on the edge of the cliff, and this was their last chance.
“Master is listening, speak, child.”
Lu Xueqi nodded and began to recount the scenes of her daily interactions with Chen Xuan after arriving at Feixian Temple. At first, she was indeed only attracted to him, but as they spent more time together, she discovered that she had developed an inseparable affection for Daoist Chen Xuan.
She was a Taoist priest of the Quanzhen School who had descended the mountain to travel and cultivate, but she actually fell in love with a man, which caused her to be torn for a long time.
If it weren't for this nationwide migration, which would have scattered all the provinces to that vast world, she certainly would never have revealed it in her entire life.
It is known that the world is an extremely cruel world of cultivators. Facing unknown calamities, unknown overlords, monsters, and battles, Lu Xueqi does not know if she will ever see Chen Xuan again.
Amidst all the turmoil and anxieties, she finally defied public opinion and confided in her master about the matter.
Lu Xueqi's voice grew softer and softer, afraid that her words would anger her master to death, yet she could not ignore her own feelings.
"Xueqi has failed her master's expectations and has let you down."
As soon as Lu Xueqi finished speaking, she knelt down on the ground.
"Ugh……"
Master Zhishun had actually anticipated this day, but he hadn't expected his disciple to say it so directly, given his personality.
"Actually, I knew what was going on the moment I saw your spirit while watching the battle in Beihai last time."
Master Zhishun stroked his beard and said, "When Xiao Xuan returned from her tribulation, the way you looked at her was different. I've experienced emotions myself, so I understand."
Hearing this, Lu Xueqi dared not look up at her master's disappointed expression.
I never imagined that my master had already sensed it.
"However, Xiao Xuan is indeed outstanding. As long as you two are mutually in love, I agree to this marriage."
"what?"
Lu Xueqi was already upset about saying something against the precepts in front of her master, but she didn't expect that her master not only knew about it beforehand, but also said to her face that he agreed to the marriage.
Did you hear me right? They agreed to the marriage?
She hadn't even confessed her feelings to the Taoist priest yet.
"Master, disciple... disciple... me?" Lu Xueqi was both surprised and delighted to hear this, and was at a loss for words.
"Hahaha, sentimentality can be a weakness for heroes. We're about to leave this world and enter the real world of cultivation. It's time to break these old, outdated rules."
Master Zhishun stroked his beard and looked at his personal disciple, asking, "How far have you progressed?"
When her master asked her about this in person, Lu Xueqi's pretty face immediately turned red. She lowered her head, her palms sweating, and thought about their interactions, not missing a single detail.
To summarize, she whispered to Daoist Zhishun, "Perhaps, maybe, probably... Daoist Master doesn't yet know my feelings."
Upon hearing his disciple's summary, Daoist Zhishun felt a wave of dizziness.
"Sigh...this is troublesome. After all this time, Xiao Xuan still doesn't know about this?"
"The Daoist Master is wholeheartedly devoted to the people and pursues the Great Dao and immortality. My strength and qualifications are worlds apart from yours. I fear that if I express my feelings, I will not even be able to stay at the Flying Immortal Temple."
Master Zhishun nodded, "Silly disciple, you're only telling me now that we're about to part ways? If you had told me earlier, I could have introduced you to someone or something."
"But now, with the nationwide relocation imminent, he has so many things to attend to, and to talk about personal matters now..."
Lu Xueqi nodded, "This disciple has never harbored any unrealistic ambitions. I only want him to know my feelings."
After a moment of contemplation, Lord Zhi Shun nodded and offered his advice, "Very well, since this is what you seek, then go and prepare a letter now and hand it to him personally before you part. That way, even if he disagrees after reading the contents of the letter, you will have completely separated, and when you meet again, you may have both forgotten about this matter, so it won't be too awkward."
Looking flustered, Lu Xueqi was completely at a loss, but upon hearing her master's suggestion, her eyes lit up and she nodded emphatically.
"This disciple will go and prepare immediately."
Watching his disciple, whom he had raised single-handedly, run off to prepare a letter of confession, Master Zhishun smiled. "My disciple has grown up and will eventually have to leave the protection of his master. It's good that he has something to hold onto."
As time went by, it gradually got to around 11 p.m.
As the time for the nationwide relocation drew near, the atmosphere on the golden roof of Feixian Temple became heavy and oppressive.
Jiang Linglong and Shi Hao had not left Chen Xuan's side since evening.
Jiang Linglong's dependence on and attachment to Chen Xuan reached its peak at this moment, and all her beautiful memories began when she met her master, Chen Xuan.
Boom boom boom!
After three knocks, Chen Xuan gestured for Shi Hao to open the door.
"Senior Sister Xueqi?" Shi Hao saw that Lu Xueqi was standing at the door and addressed her as Senior Sister.
"Is the Taoist priest here?"
"Yes, please come in, senior sister. Master is inside."
