Chapter 22: We Are Ordinary People, We Must Accept Our Fate!
“Wait until you escape first,” Luo Xue said with a faint smile, then suddenly sighed, “I almost forgot to give you this.”
“What is it?” Lin Fengmian asked in surprise.
Luo Xue used Zhenyuan to inscribe the Demon Emperor Technique annotated by Venerable Qionghua on the ground.
She said earnestly, “I specifically asked my master to review this technique and add annotations for you. Take a look and see if there is anything you don’t understand.
Lin Fengmian crouched down and laughed awkwardly, “You should be asking me what I understand, right?”
Luo Xue chuckled, “That works too. So tell me what you understand.”
Lin Fengmian studied it carefully and then pointed out the parts he didn’t understand. Luo Xue patiently explained it to him.
Lin Fengmian seized the opportunity, memorized everything, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he understood everything.
He was very satisfied; this time, he had truly gained a lot. However, this also made him feel guilty for deceiving Luo Xue.
Luo Xue was helping him with all her heart, but he was hiding things from her. Wasn’t that too much?
“What’s wrong with you?” Luo Xue asked curiously as she looked at him.
Lin Fengmian thought for a moment and shook his head, “It’s nothing. It’s just that I’ll be going out with them, so I might not come in here as often. After all, it would be annoying to be discovered.”
“I thought it was something serious. It’s not that I’m eager to see you. I have to cultivate too!” Luo Xue said with a smile.
“I’ve been bothering the fairy these days,” Lin Fengmian said awkwardly with a smile.
When he thought about it, he had been constantly bothering Luo Xue, who had been helping him unilaterally while he hadn’t been able to help her at all.
This made him determined to do something for Luo Xue, and if he could change her fate, that would be the best.
Luo Xue smiled, “It’s okay. Just be careful yourself. I have to go back to cultivate as well.”
Lin Fengmian nodded with a smile, and with a wave of Luo Xue’s hand, they left the special space.
That night, in the inner sect of the Joyful Union Sect, in Happy Valley.
A seductive woman was lying on a luxurious couch, her jade legs stretched out, her slender hand holding a grape and putting it into her seductive mouth, looking extremely tempting.
“You say Lin Fengmian is also one of the five going on this trip?”
“Yes, mainly due to the interference of Senior Sister Chen and Junior Sister Xia. In front of everyone, it wasn’t convenient for me to go back on my word,” Liu Mei replied respectfully.
Zhao Ningzhi’s lips curled into a smile, “Then let him go. Just keep an eye on him, don’t let any vixen get him killed.”
When Liu Mei saw that Zhao Ningzhi was not angry, she breathed a sigh of relief and hesitated, “I wonder what it is about Lin Fengmian that you and the sect master value so much?”
Zhao Ningzhi looked intrigued, “Aren’t you the smartest? Guess.”
“In my opinion, Lin Fengmian’s talent is average, his aptitude is average, the only commendable thing is his appearance,” Liu Mei said with a frown.
She hesitated before asking, “Could he be the offspring of Senior Uncle Xie?”
But she couldn’t understand why Zhao Ningzhi had been struck by lightning at just one look at Lin Fengmian and had ordered her to make Lin Fengmian fall in love with her at all costs.
Zhao Ningzhi laughed heartily and said after a while, “Your Senior Uncle Xie cultivates the Heartache Technique, how could he have offspring?”
Liu Mei frowned, not understanding what the Heartache Technique was and how it was different from her own Entwined Technique.
Zhao Ningzhi said meaningfully, “Although you cultivate the Entwined Technique now, you follow the principles of the Heartache Technique. Do you understand now?”
She sat up, her smile gradually fading, “Liu Mei, do you think I am really unaware of your affairs?”
Liu Mei’s face turned pale and she quickly knelt down to apologize, “I dare not, the disciple was just…”
Zhao Ningzhi sighed deeply, “I know you are not satisfied, so I have allowed you to waste so many years.”
“Now even Chen Qingyan, who joined the sect much later than you, has caught up. If you still don’t understand, I am very disappointed.”
“You must understand that even though we have good talents, we are not one in ten thousand. We are just ordinary people, we have to accept our fate!”
Liu Mei’s heart sank upon hearing this, her jade hand unconsciously tightened as she nodded, “The disciple understands.”
“Lin Fengmian is someone the sect master also appreciates. I hope you can tie him down firmly by any means necessary.”
Zhao Ningzhi stood up and sighed lightly, “Go, I don’t want to see you come back a virgin.”
Liu Mei kept her head down, not saying a word for a long time before she finally nodded bitterly, “The disciple obeys.”
Watching Liu Mei leave in a daze, Zhao Ningzhi leaned back in her seat and smiled wryly, “Who hasn’t had the time when they didn’t accept their fate, thinking they were one in ten thousand?”
“But human strength is limited, and the heavenly path is set. In the end, you have to accept your fate!”
Remembering the moment she saw the disciple named Lin Fengmian, Zhao Ningzhi couldn’t help but smile.
You guessed it right, this guy really did get into the Joyful Union Sect just by his looks.
Early the next morning, Lin Fengmian arrived at the foot of Crimson Phoenix Peak and waited anxiously. As the time to leave approached, he couldn’t help but feel a mixture of hope and fear.
When Xie Gui saw Lin Fengmian’s nervousness, he didn’t feel much hostility towards him, perhaps because they both had the chance to go down the mountain.
He came over and whispered to Lin Fengmian, “Senior Brother Lin, do you have any plans to cooperate with me?”
Lin Fengmian looked at him and said in a low voice, “Cooperate how?”
“Since you decided to go down the mountain, it means it’s not safe for you here. Why not work together…” Xie Gui said in a low tone.
Lin Fengmian didn’t reject the idea outright; times had changed and the situation was different now.
He nodded, “All right, let’s see how it goes!”
After all, having an ally was better than going down the mountain alone. If necessary, he could even use Xie Gui to divert attention.
Xie Gui couldn’t help but smile, his eyes shining with a strange light.
He had finally confirmed it; the Joyful Union Sect was indeed very dangerous!
Soon, a graceful figure descended from the Crimson Phoenix Peak, it was Liu Mei.
“Greetings, Senior Sister Liu,” Lin Fengmian and the others said in unison.
Liu Mei looked at Lin Fengmian and the others, lingering on Lin Fengmian for a moment before smiling slightly.
“I apologize for keeping you waiting, junior brothers. Please follow me to Crimson Phoenix Peak.”
Lin Fengmian wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but he always felt that Liu Mei’s gaze was somewhat unfriendly towards him.
This woman was really petty!
Liu Mei walked gracefully in front of them, and her back view was extremely seductive, causing the few of them to be somewhat distracted.
When they arrived at the Crimson Phoenix Peak Square, they found that the other four senior sisters were already waiting there.
Liu Mei held out her pale hand with five small leaves flying on it, just like the Qingfeng Leaves that Wang Yanran had shown earlier.
With a wave of her hand, the five leaves flew towards Lin Fengmian and the others, who caught them in their hands.
