Chapter 199: If This Lin Pei Abandons Her!

Outside Luo City, Jiang Yuerou and Jiang Qingshang arrived in the deserted outskirts in the blink of an eye.

Both of their figures returned to their original forms, which were also their most beautiful forms.

Jiang Qingshang and Jiang Yuerou changed their forms at the same time, which meant they tacitly agreed to no longer speak as “Aunt” and “Jiang Qing,” but to communicate as the Zilin Sacred Lord and the Zilin Saintess.

“That Lin Pei.” After a long while, Jiang Yuerou slowly spoke. “He’s quite good, honest, and for the vast majority of women in the Mortal World, he is indeed a good match.”

Hearing her Master’s praise, Jiang Qingshang’s eyes lit up. “Then, Master—”

“But,” Jiang Yuerou sighed softly, “what I said was for a woman of the Mortal World. Qingshang, are you such a woman?”

“Why not?” Jiang Qingshang said stubbornly. “Aren’t Cultivators also made of flesh and blood, also human? How are we not of the Mortal World?”

“Fallacy.”

Jiang Yuerou really wanted to flick her Disciple’s forehead.

“Your lifespan is ten thousand years, while his is but a few decades. To you, that Lin Pei’s lifespan is just a drop in the ocean. How can you compare with him?”

“I—”

“Don’t say anything more about being willing to stay with him until he’s old and then searching for him through thousands of Reincarnations.” Jiang Yuerou felt very helpless.

“Don’t worry, for now, I don’t have the intention of breaking you two up.”

Jiang Yuerou rubbed the corners of her eyes, feeling a bit weary.

She was even starting to regret letting Qingshang go to the Mortal World for experience.

As a result, in just a few years, she encountered such a Brat.

But as fate begins and ends, cultivation is even more so. Who can say for sure what one will encounter on the road of cultivation?

“For example, that Brat Lin Xun I encountered. I must tie him into a bow, otherwise my Heart Demon will be hard to resolve!”

“What does Master mean?” Jiang Qingshang happily hugged her Master’s arm. “Has Master accepted my Husband?”

“It hasn’t reached that point yet.”

Jiang Yuerou flicked her Disciple’s forehead.

Seeing her arm being hugged by Qingshang, Jiang Yuerou, who had raised her since she was a child, knew that this was an action Qingshang only did when she was extremely happy.

‘Perhaps, if I really tried to break them up, this little girl might actually elope with that Lin Pei,’ Jiang Yuerou couldn’t help but think.

“I want to make a condition with you.” Jiang Yuerou looked at Qingshang, who was already as tall as her, and spoke seriously.

“Please speak, Master.” Jiang Qingshang’s clear eyes also became serious.

“You want Lin Pei to grow a Spiritual Root and then step onto the path of cultivation, right? When the time comes, I won’t stop you from taking a rootless fruit. On the contrary, I will help you obtain one.

Lin Pei consumes the rootless fruit, you can operate in the shadows and pretend to join the Zilin Holy Land together with him.

However, after that, you will not only be Husband and wife in the eyes of the Mortal World, but also Dao Companions!

Therefore, I want you to promise that even if Lin Pei enters the gates of my Zilin Holy Land, you shall not reveal your true identity for a hundred years!”

Jiang Qingshang’s brows furrowed slightly. “Master, do you have no confidence in my Husband?”

“Yes.”

Jiang Yuerou looked directly into her Disciple’s eyes.

“Qingshang, the path of cultivation is not like the wealth and honor of the world. Someone might be able to resist official promotions and being surrounded by beauties in the Mortal World, but those are just mundane things after all.

When a person steps onto the path of cultivation, what they will face is the long road of Immortal Ascension.

On this endless path of cultivation, I have seen countless people lose themselves, abandon their wives and children, and even betray their Dao Companions for a tiny bit of resources.

If that Lin Pei knew his wife was the Zilin Saintess, how would he treat you? Would he use you as his stepping stone?

Would the feelings between you two change?

Qingshang, you are not just my Disciple; to me, you are already my family.

I am uneasy about him; I want to see him clearly.

I admit he treats you with great care now, but I want to know if you will still be first in his heart on this long and endless road when he is on the path of cultivation!”

Jiang Qingshang frowned. “Master wants to test my Husband?”

Jiang Yuerou shook her head. “It’s not exactly a test, at most just checking him out for you. However, if he doesn’t pass my check…”

“I won’t let Master hurt my Husband!” Jiang Qingshang said firmly.

“I won’t hurt him either. At most, I’ll erase his memory and let him return to the Mortal World.”

Jiang Qingshang shook her head. “Husband is not that kind of person.”

Jiang Yuerou smiled. “Since you have such confidence in him, are you willing to agree to this Hundred-year Pact? Or are you also worried that on this path of cultivation, he will have a change of heart? That he will fall for some other Fairy?”

“No.”

Jiang Qingshang looked firmly at her Master.

“I have confidence in my Husband. He will never abandon me. I can promise not to tell him about my true identity, but I absolutely will not allow Master to set up trials to test him! He shouldn’t be troubled by Master because of me.”

Looking at her Disciple, Jiang Yuerou was first stunned, then smiled slightly. “Fine, I promise you, I won’t test him. Then our Hundred-year Pact is made, alright?”

“Alright!” Jiang Qingshang’s tone was firm.

Anyway, even if her Husband had just entered the Zilin Holy Land, she didn’t plan to tell him about her identity immediately.

What if she scared him? Besides, he needed a process of adaptation, otherwise what if he got angry that she lied to him from the start?

Furthermore, she also wanted to experience a cultivation life of “starting from scratch” with him, witnessing his growth step by step. That would be the most romantic thing.

A hundred years was just right.

Hearing Jiang Qingshang agree, Jiang Yuerou also nodded with satisfaction.

Actually, Jiang Yuerou didn’t really want to set up any tests for Lin Pei.

A hundred years on the path of cultivation is enough to see a person’s true nature.

Maybe by then, Qingshang would see Lin Pei’s true essence, and it’s not impossible for the heat of love to fade after a hundred years.

Besides, she didn’t test Lin Pei herself, but she didn’t promise not to let others test him, did she?

That Hua Lengyue from the Rakshasa Hall, being the daughter of the Hall Master of Rakshasa Hall, has no low status, plus she is as beautiful as a flower and has extremely high cultivation talent.

When the time comes, let Hua Lengyue get in touch with the newly initiated Lin Pei.

As a new Disciple, who could resist?

If he really resists, then she would have nothing to say.

But if this Lin Pei abandons her!

Hehe!!!
