Chapter 455: Chapter 273 Taking Li Zijun as a Disciple_1
Everything seemed just as it had always been.
The white hair fluttered in the wind, intertwining above the Longsword on Su Bei’s back.
The same white robe, the same gentle smile, yet Li Zijun was certain that this was not the "him" she had longed for.
Ji Nanjue, still reeling from her earlier shock, stared wide-eyed at the scene before her as a realization dawned.
"Husband... you?"
Li Zijun is the daughter of the Confucian Sage; she should be cultivating the Confucian heart-mind method, right? How could she be cultivating swordsmanship with you? Even if she agreed, how could the Confucian Sage possibly consent? What exactly happened just now?
Su Bei’s eyes shimmered with an indescribable luster.
If... if everything that occurred in my recent memory truly happened, then, in the grand scheme of things, there must be some intricate connection between this Li Zijun and myself. That phrase, ’Li Zijun is your disciple,’ from that ’other self’ couldn’t have been fabricated out of thin air!
Watching Li Zijun standing there stunned, Su Bei took a step forward and continued softly, "Are you willing?"
He was very close to Li Zijun, merely three inches away. Her skin was as smooth as jade, and he could faintly see the fine, downy hair beside her ears.
A warm fragrance wafted from her, suffusing the air and making one feel pleasantly languid.
The Missing Departure remained planted in the ground, its surface flickering with a faint luster. Dots of blood gradually congealed in the overwhelming blizzard, then flowed away with the melting snow.
A large hand pulled the sword out, the blade reflecting his dark eyes. He then slowly placed the Missing Departure back into the Sword Box.
This question seemed more like a confirmation—a confirmation of what lay within his heart.
Li Zijun looked into Su Bei’s eyes, her own gaze trembling slightly.
Isn’t this what I’ve always hoped for? But I didn’t want him to say it at a time like this... I can feel his heart.
Then, as if she had made a decision, Li Zijun took a deep breath and, to Ji Nanjue’s astonishment, knelt before Su Bei.
"Zi Jun is willing."
"Disciple Li Zijun, greets Master."
As her words fell, everything around seemed to find resolution.
I arrived a step too late, but fortunately, it’s not too late for everything. There’s still time to stop Master. But I don’t know what exactly Master saw just now. What happened? And why has everything changed like this?
"DING! Congratulations to the Host for successfully taking Li Zijun as your fourth disciple. The system has randomly granted a ten-thousand-fold return."
"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining Saintly Qi, Spring and Autumn Air, and Great Bright Air."
"Congratulations to the Host on earning a chance to draw a prize."
"..."
Su Bei, feeling the abundance of new Spiritual Energy surging within him, smiled and reached out to stroke Li Zijun’s head.
She lowered her head slightly, her body trembling a little, but she did not refuse his touch.
Ji Nanjue thought for a moment, hesitated, but still asked, "Don’t you want to inform the Confucian Sage?"
There was a brief pause.
If the world knew that the daughter of the Confucian Sage had become Su Bei’s disciple just like that, who knows what kind of uproar it would cause,
she mused.
Su Bei’s eyes twinkled. He helped Li Zijun to her feet, then looked at Ji Nanjue and said, "Aren’t we supposed to take Zi Jun to Empty Cicada Lake? We will naturally meet the Confucian Sage, that old gentleman, then..."
With those words, he sat down cross-legged on the spot and closed his eyes.
"Nan Ji, can you guard me?"
The influx of Evil Qi this time has benefited me greatly. I can even clearly feel that my personality seems to have been influenced by ’that other self’—more accurately, it’s a change in my disposition. My cultivation has advanced too swiftly. The rapid increase in strength made it difficult to master abilities commensurate with it, causing me to overlook many subtle details. However, this inexplicable memory has helped me identify and fill in those gaps.
The Confucian Tri-Energy and the Great Dao Qi intertwined constantly with the Evil Qi around Su Bei’s body, forming Chaos.
He exhaled lightly and leaned back somewhat tiredly against the rock. As the Evil Qi and Confucian Tri-Energy merged within him, he could distinctly feel every subtle variation in the texture of the rock against his back.
When he calmed his mind, the Spiritual Energy flowing around him felt like countless undercurrents, wave after wave brushing against his skin.
The gentle rustling of the falling snow, once barely perceptible, gradually grew more pronounced in Su Bei’s ears. The soft whisper of wind through willow leaves, the delicate sound of petals drifting down—these sounds, which should have been lost in the air, grew increasingly clear.
Ji Nanjue watched everything unfolding before her with a complex expression. She gazed at Su Bei; his features were the same, yet for some reason, she felt he now possessed a much softer, more refined beauty.
His white hair cascaded to his waist, his skin was as smooth and fine as jade, and his dark eyes were as deep as still water. His aura had shed some of its former warmth, replaced by a profound stillness and elegance.
Su Bei noticed her gaze and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Ji Nanjue shook her head and sat beside him. "Husband, please tell me, what exactly happened earlier?"
Su Bei hesitated for a moment, looked at Nan Ji, and then said, "Do you know of Inverted Heaven?"
Ji Nanjue nodded.
It’s a forbidden territory,
she recalled.
A place shrouded in mystery; no one knows what secrets are buried there. The opportunities within are said to be countless, and some even claim it’s an essential path to Ascension.
