When he said this, the elder and real people actually felt that this method was not inappropriate.
Ning Shu possesses the attribute of wood spiritual root, while Liu Xueying is a water spiritual root. Both are around the same age and are considered geniuses. Most importantly, one of them is a direct disciple of the Divine Venerable, while the other is the daughter of the Divine Venerable’s close friend.
Being able to both debunk rumors and create a beautiful event is indeed a great solution that benefits all parties involved.
“But Master Mingyang said, “We should also ask Xueying’s opinion on this.” Although he agreed, since this concerns the disciple’s lifelong happiness, it is important to inquire about her wishes.”
The other real people then spoke, “Do we still need to ask for his opinion? Ning Shu had been looking for your disciple all along, and the disciples in the sect even saw the two of them walking together… It must be that he’s willing.”
Ming Yang Zhenren hesitated for a moment, and unexpectedly felt that this matter had some potential. When talking about Ning Shu, his own apprentice, there was indeed a hint of admiration in his eyes.
He couldn’t help but smile faintly: “That depends on asking first.”
“I wonder what the divine being thinks?”
The Divine Lord sat there, remaining silent from beginning to end. The crowd couldn’t understand what was going on in the Divine Lord’s mind, so they tentatively asked him questions.
But he saw the divine sovereign lower his eyes, a cold and emotionless face was shadowed.
He gave them a faint glance.
The crowd from Heavenly Sect felt a chill run down their spines, and even got goosebumps.
Wouldn’t the Divine Lord be willing?
But why is this? <<>>
One of the elders rose nervously and said, “Does the Divine Lord find something amiss?”
Sikuoheng Yu said, “Indeed, it is inappropriate.”
“Does the Divine Lord find something amiss?” the true person asked again.
Sikushengh lowered his gaze, reaching out to take the spiritual tea on the table. The subtle clinking of the teacup echoed, and the man in white attire stood like a deity, both awe-inspiring and heartbreaking.
His stunningly handsome face, however, was utterly cold.
That voice fell upon the hearts of everyone in Tianzong, yet it was like a divine sword. It caused their hearts to tremble, and each one couldn’t understand what they had said wrong.
“Nothing is wrong.”
The divine being spoke in a nonchalant tone, then set down the tea.
He then turned to these people and said, “Because he is my Dao companion, is this reason sufficient?”
The elders of the Heavenly Sect looked at each other with wide eyes, as if they had heard some incredible news.
After a long while, one of the real people languidly wiped the sweat from their forehead and fainted.
….
The disciples of Tianzongmen didn’t know what was wrong with their uncles and aunts lately. They were all frowning and gloomy. When they were in a bad mood, they would close the door and take it out on them.
However, Shen Wu Zun didn’t think he had said anything inappropriate.
That day, after he uttered those words, numerous elders and true people were astonished. They wanted to speak but hesitated, then advised him with hardship.
“My Lord, this is absolutely forbidden!”
“What’s wrong with that?” Si Kong Heng’s jade brows were cold.
The elders dared not speak.
“After a long pause, he said, “…Master, think carefully. If you truly want to become Dao companions with… your own disciple, you will be…. ridiculed by the world.”
They don’t know why the Divine Venerable has been cultivating the Path of Unfeeling for so long, but now he is moved by Ning Shu.
Sirong Hengyu, however, said: “What do I care about the common people?” His eyes were cold and sharp as he said indifferently, “In two months, I will hold my wedding ceremony.”
He rose, his snowy robes radiating the chill of frost.
“If anyone disrespects him, they disrespect me.”
……
Tianzongmen was also very worried. They previously thought that the reputation of the Divine Sovereign had been ruined, but now, the Divine Sovereign was going to catch up and solidify this charge.
But they still have to publish it and invite all the cultivators and sects to come to this marriage hall.
In just a fortnight.
It is known throughout the world that Si Kong Hengyu will be holding a grand wedding ceremony. His dual cultivation partner happens to be his own disciple, making this the hot topic of conversation among cultivators everywhere.
“Who exactly is that Ning Shu? You say he confuses others, fine. But to actually be Xi Wuqing Dao’s Sikong Hengyu? Could he not even be a reincarnation of a fairy, possessing peerless beauty?”
“Previously, that Sunkong Hengyu, for a moment of anger, went to the Demon Realm’s lair. I thought it was just nonsense spread by demonic cultivators, but I didn’t expect him to be such a hypocrite! He even doesn’t spare his own disciple!”
Some female nuns frowned, stood up, and felt that these people’s words were too harsh: “They formed a Dao partner relationship, it’s just that the relationship between master and disciple has become a Dao partner relationship. It’s not like stealing chickens or dogs, why is it unacceptable?”
“Didn’t you all forget what Si Kong Hengyu did before, killing so many demon cultivators for the righteous path?”
One of the cultivators scoffed, “So what? He’s nothing more than a hypocrite in sheep’s clothing now, no different from a demonic cultivator.”
“I think it’s time for a new Divine Sovereign.”
“Hahahahahaha! If this divine being, Si Kong Heng Yu, can be the master, then so can I!”
A young boy sat in the corner, his lips slightly pursed as he listened to those words. He couldn’t help but raise his head to look at his master across from him, but all he saw was a cold expression on his face, completely unmoved by the words.
Ning Shu’s face flushed slightly, and she then picked up her sword, saying coldly, “You who speak ill of others behind their backs are not necessarily righteous people yourselves!”
Upon seeing the two people in the corner, they were struck by amazement.
The youth was handsome and beautiful, but the man in the snow clothes looked icy cold. One couldn’t tell how high his cultivation was, but his appearance was exceptionally handsome, with light eyes that gazed over softly.
They couldn’t help but feel a chill run down their spines.
“Who… what sect are you from?”
Those few cultivators scowled and said, “What does this have to do with you? We’re talking about the disgraceful acts of Tianzong Sect.”
They couldn’t help but sneer and say, “Could it be that you are a disciple of the Tiānzōng Sect?”
“He’s just a little kid in the foundation-building stage. What’s there to be awed about?”
Ning Shu coldly looked at them and said, “If you have the ability, you shouldn’t be talking about my master… Divine Lord, behind his back! Do you have the guts to say it to his face?”
The boy’s heart was filled with rage after he said that. He didn’t know why hearing these people speak ill of his master ignited such fury within him.
Ning Shu naturally also noticed that his master had been staring at him.
Her cheeks flushed slightly.
Ning Shu dared not meet his Shizun’s gaze. He pursed his lips, refusing to yield for a moment: “If you do not apologize today…”
“Well then?”
Several cultivators couldn’t help but sneer, this Qi Refining stage kid was being too arrogant. He was just at this level of cultivation and dared to be so presumptuous in front of them. Didn’t he know they now had someone who was already at the Nascent Soul stage?
That Nascent Soul stage cultivator’s gaze was like it was poisoned: “Are cultivators of today so arrogant? Let this old man discipline you all on behalf of your sect!”
Everyone present couldn’t help but feel a shiver down their spines.
This person, a Nascent Soul stage ancestor!
Several female nuns also paled, this young man… today he’s probably going to die, or at least be stripped of his skin. It seems this Nascent Soul ancestor is petty, not even sparing the youth.
And those few cultivators had a look of triumph on their faces.
Ning Shu couldn’t help but take a step back, but he still held the sword given to him by his master, ready to take this palm.
But the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed.
He sensed a chill behind him, and before the Nascent Soul ancestor even got close, he spat out a mouthful of blood and was flung three feet away.
Everyone was astonished!
An ancestor from the Nascent Soul stage, before he could even make a move, was beaten until he vomited blood! And this man in snow clothes, yet no one saw him holding a sword, nor had they ever seen him make a move!
How terrifyingly powerful is this cultivation!
At this moment, a Void Ancestor from the floor above opened the curtains and looked down, shaking his head and saying, “Overreaching.”
The middle-aged man beside him couldn’t help but frown and said, “Master ancestor, this person’s cultivation is so strong. That person made a move without any mercy, not putting you, Master Ancestor, in his eyes.”
The Void Ancestor spoke slowly, “Even I, how much face would I have left?”
The middle-aged man’s face changed drastically. The Patriarch was now at the Void stage, just one step away from achieving Great Perfection. Then came the tribulation, and in this cultivation world, how many people even qualified to reach the Patriarch’s level? Who else would be qualified then?
The Void Ancestor spoke, “Just a mere Nascent Soul, not even qualified to make this divine being unsheath its sword.” He frowned and said, “This divine being’s cultivation is likely nearing the tribulation realm…”
The middle-aged man’s face was ashen!
The Void Ancestor said, “That young man beside him is probably the disciple and Dao companion of this God Venerable.”
…..
After that Nascent Soul spat out a mouthful of blood, he was unable to even crawl.
His face was pale with terror!
Sikushenghyu glanced at the few who had spoken earlier and flung a sword over. The group was so frightened that they immediately hid under the table, actually scared into wetting themselves by his cultivation!
I saw the sword being withdrawn, the man in white raised his hand and gestured to the young man: “Go.”
Ning Shu was startled, then came back to herself.
He reached out and was immediately caught by his master’s hand.
Si Kong Hengyu stopped his steps, but did not turn back. “I am Si Kong Hengyu. If you have any objections to me, go to Tiangongmen to find me.” He turned his head, those pale eyes looked at the several cultivators on the ground, with a cold expression in his eyes. “But if you dare to show any disrespect to my Dao companion…”
He said coolly, “Even if I ascend to the Ninth Heaven, I will make you know what regret truly means.”
……
Ning Shu followed his master out, dazedly. After a while, his master led him to a clothing store.
“Red suits you, when you make it and wear it, it will look absolutely stunning.”
Si Kong Hengyu took the red fabric and said.
Ning Shu looked up and saw that his master was looking at him. He felt his heart skip a beat for a moment.
He felt…
He doesn’t seem to be completely unwilling to become Dao companions with his master.
