Chapter 554 - 231 Immortal Island Conceals the Divine Dragon! He is My Sect Leader Senior Brother! _4
So the meaning is quite clear, the other party also wants to strengthen the bond with an old friend, but this kind of matter isn’t something that the older generation can settle with just a couple of words.
This is different from mortal marriages.
A forced marriage chosen by mortals could still result in some kind of union, even if it might not be perfect.
But for cultivators, it’s different. Forcing a union will yield no results, and if ill intentions arise during dual cultivation, the consequences could be dire.
Precisely because of this, cultivators have a slight advantage over mortals – they can choose who they truly like. Like means like, dislike means dislike, cultivation doesn’t lie.
In this situation, people often say sweet things like, "I love you, you love me, we’re so happy together," but the reality is that laziness creeps in, and the spiritual Qi seems drowsy, as if it hasn’t woken up. When things are halfway through, it could end in disagreement, causing considerable awkwardness.
"No worries, can I even harm her?" Song Qingshan delivered this fatal blow.
You are my child, can I harm you? Trust me, there’s nothing wrong... His old friend hears this and also smiles knowingly, for he had said the same.
"Alright, then when could the two meet?" His old friend asked, as feelings need to be cultivated, and shallow feelings can’t compare to oaths of eternal love.
"Let’s wait until after this Ascension Gate competition. It should be about twenty days, give or take two months, she should return to the Stargazing Terrace. Then I can take her to meet you, and we’ll let them meet. Both are young and talented, could they even turn on each other?" Song Qingshan was very proud.
In his heart, he grumbled:
Can it even be worse than Yuchi? How could it be! As long as two cultivate together without disgust, the feelings will develop over time! Otherwise, relying solely on Song Yinghan, she won’t go too far! As for the agreement with Yuchi, there’s less than three years left!
By then, I’ll need to see what kind of godly figure Yuchi is, can he even dismantle my Stargazing Terrace?
Hahaha!
Impossible...
The more Song Qingshan spoke, the happier he got, completely unaware that Song the Beautiful was already having a jolly time with Yuchi, even more oblivious to the fact that his daughter had already joined the Ascension Gate... Otherwise, he’d probably faint on the spot, feeling as though his arch-nemesis had somehow married his daughter?
...
After one day passed, on the Immortal Island, the organizers had found Huo Yuluo, and according to their plan, the competition candidates were confirmed, and the duel between the two would begin in one hour. They requested both parties to proceed to the island’s edge.
A battle between Golden Core Stage cultivators couldn’t be contained on the Immortal Island; both should head off to the distant ocean to fight. The Island would raise its defensive arrays, ensuring the island’s safety regardless of the battle’s ferocity outside.
The Sect Leader already knew this, having chatted with Yuchi that day, feeling a bit guilty. He awaited his disciple’s competition result so he could offer guidance, even moving his residence directly opposite Yuchi’s for convenience.
Yuchi found the situation awkward. Given the Sect Leader’s goodwill, he couldn’t just ignore the gesture. Upon learning that Huo Yuluo’s match was imminent, he visited the Sect Leader’s residence, explained the actual situation, and expressed a simple point.
"If you’re busy, there’s no need to come for such a minor thing." Yuchi implied it’s fine, they should handle their own matters, and there’s no need to pay undue attention to their small sect.
The Sect Leader, interpreting Yuchi’s words as embarrassment, resolutely stated: "It’s fine, just a competition. How long would it last? After it’s over, I can offer some guidance, benefiting your sect’s disciples."
After saying this, he gathered his disciples, particularly the one with a Grade Seven talent, around seventeen or eighteen in total, all brought before Yuchi, clearly promising support: Don’t worry, leave your small sect to us. While I know you may not disclose your sect’s location, rest assured, we have your back.
Yuchi exclaimed: Goodness gracious...
Additionally, a female disciple apologized to Yuchi for not understanding his intentions before, admitting her wrongdoings, expressing though the Sect Leader’s power may not be top-notch, his disciples would certainly grow stronger. She apologized for any offense, hoping for forgiveness for underestimating his magnanimity.
Unable to respond otherwise, Yuchi, amidst chuckles and sighs, replied: "It’s alright, let’s just all be happy."
