"Dream on." Pei Wanyu glared at her, "The entire Wandao Sect wouldn’t agree to that!"
"No problem." Xiao Yinruo ate a polo, crossed her arms, "As long as it doesn’t interfere with his duties as the Saint Heir, it’s fine as long as you’re okay with it. It’s just about romance, isn’t it?"
"Be careful, or you two might beco enemies." Pei Wanyu sneered, "And also, be careful or I’ll hit you!"
Xiao Yinruo chuckled, "Only you would be interested in little brats."
"My disciple’s not that little... ahem." Pei Wanyu coughed lightly, "Alright, when are you planning to go back?"
"I want to leave today." Xiao Yinruo sighed, "But Nanzhi surely won’t be willing, and I can’t forcibly take her away."
Pei Wanyu nodded. For Nanzhi, who walks the Forget Love Path, forcing her to separate from Jin’an would be more harm than good to her Dao.
"The day after tomorrow is Jin’an’s coming of age birthday." Pei Wanyu said, "She surely wants to return after that."
"I see." Xiao Yinruo nodded, "Then I’ll have to impose on you for a few more days."
Pei Wanyu chuckled, "Just don’t peek."
Xiao Yinruo couldn’t help but recall the delicate expression Nanzhi had yesterday and spat, "Who, who would want to peek?"
"Why are you flustered? Haha."
Xiao Yinruo sneered, "I’m just afraid you guys will disturb ."
Pei Wanyu smiled and said no more. Her friend wasn’t aware of the fact that she and Qingyue weren’t actually mother and daughter, but it wasn’t sothing she deliberately hid. It’s just better if fewer people knew about it.
Xiao Yinruo also said no more and turned to look at her treasured disciple.
Ever since Sect Master Zheng announced that Lu Jin’an would inherit the title of Wandao Sect Saint, Nanzhi’s smile had not faded from her face.
Watching, Xiao Yinruo couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed.
This morning she discovered that Nanzhi’s Daoist skills were flowing all around her. After taking a bath, Nanzhi broke through to the Mid-stage Harmonization Realm... Such a breakthrough speed is unprecedented in the history of the Forget Love Path.
’Even though Nanzhi’s walking the Forget Love Path, how could it be so outrageous?’
Xiao Yinruo pondered, knowing about other people’s Forget Love Paths in Qingmiao Palace, as the experiences of others might be useful to her.
Qingmiao Palace has had female disciples who walked the Forget Love Path through romance, and so even succeeded in convincing their "husbands" to beco their artifact spirits. But even so, every one of those female disciples eventually went astray in their cultivation and left Qingmiao Palace.
And Nanzhi didn’t take that step and seed deeply emotional without reaching that step. So, why is she progressing rapidly while remaining safe?
Did changing the Forget Love Path into the shape of the Yin-Yang Dao make it possible?
She couldn’t help but recall a conversation she had with Nanzhi on the flying boat a few days ago.
At that ti, Nanzhi said, "Seeing through doesn’t an letting go." This indeed aligns with the Forget Love Path’s concept of "handling emotions with open-mindedness." But if that’s all, then why did those past elders and disciples fail to achieve what Nanzhi has?
Especially with Qingyue competing with her and Lu Jin’an not hiding his relationship with Qingyue. How does Nanzhi manage to remain ’unperturbed’?
Is it simply because she believes she will win?
Or does Nanzhi have a deeper, indescribable feeling in her heart that’s even more profound than ’love’?
’Liking him, thinking about him, protecting him, and...’
As she pondered, Xiao Yinruo glanced at her friend, who was smiling as she looked at Lu Jin’an.
’Liking Qingmiao Domain, thinking about Qingmiao Domain, protecting Qingmiao Domain... is it really just about romantic love?’
Xiao Yinruo furrowed her brow slightly, thinking it too absurd.
Even in the Joyful Union Sect, there are human clan warriors who fight for others, and while protecting, they also follow the Yin-Yang Dao, yet few achieve Divine Concealnt...
’Divine Concealnt...’
Xiao Yinruo sighed softly. In Qingmiao Domain, she wouldn’t fear facing soone with Divine Concealnt, but she herself wasn’t at that level.
She’d been stuck at the Late Divine Presence stage for way too long...
’Should I give it a try?’
Xiao Yinruo pondered. With her current cultivation on the Forget Love Path, she didn’t need to imrse worldly; she just needed ’empathy.’
As empathy is a crucial part of the Forget Love Path.
As she thought, Xiao Yinruo once again looked at Zhu Nanzhi, recalling the scene she saw yesterday and feeling a bit uneasy.
’I’ll try ditating tonight... This idea that love is but a footnote seems too absurd.’
Gaining control over her thoughts, Xiao Yinruo spoke, "What will you do after this ends?"
"Return to Taichu Peak." Pei Wanyu whispered, "We’ll celebrate this side here, and then I’ll celebrate with my good disciple when we return."
"Oh." Xiao Yinruo said no more.
In Wandao Sect, no matter what kind of ceremony, it’s always simplified. But even so, the ceremony of anointing the Saint Heir took more than two hours.
Because they still had to be led by the Sect Master to tour the Inner Sect and the Outer Disciples.
When they finally returned to Taiyi Peak, Lu Jin’an finally let out a sigh of relief.
"We’re back~"
As soon as she saw her husband, Zhu Nanzhi ran to Lu Jin’an with a painting in her hands, happily unfolding it in front of him, "Isn’t it nice?"
Lu Jin’an looked over, and the painting captured the mont he summoned the Corpse Dragon to kill Chu Jinghai.
The colored painting was so lifelike that Lu Jin’an couldn’t help but take an extra look.
Then a bold thought suddenly occurred to him: having Nanzhi draw manga of him and her, and then leisurely enjoying them together could also be a kind of fun.
’Might give it a try?’
Thinking this, Lu Jin’an calmly said, "Your painting skills are getting better and better."
"It’s all thanks to you, Brother Jin’an~" Zhu Nanzhi humd, then stepped forward and lowered her voice, asking, "Last night, my dear husband relieved my longing; tonight, do you want to try a ga that makes the Cold Saintess fall?"
