Chapter 8: The Decision of the Two Girls!

  The beautiful seven-colored sky, the majestic and rugged mountains, the serene and secluded lake, such a beautiful place comparable to a fairyland, yet constantly echoing with sobs.

  "Waaah... Sister Mo, what are we going to do?!"

  Shangguan Ling was born lively and carefree, not a woman who loved to cry, but now she was sobbing on Yunmo's shoulder, unable to accept the fact that she had a relationship with a strange man. She couldn't accept that she had inexplicably become tied to a stranger by fate, becoming eternal companions. Even if she could accept this fact, she couldn't bear the consequences it brought.

  Because she was born into a large family and is the personal disciple of a renowned sect, her special identity made it impossible for her to casually choose her own Dao partner, as this concerns not only a large family but also a major sect.

  "If I let my parents and teachers know that I've already formed a heavenly bond with someone else, they will..."

  Shangguan Ling didn't dare continue thinking about it because she really couldn't imagine what kind of consequences would arise if this matter got out.

  Yun Mo stood quietly, not saying a word, and gently patted the back of Shangguan Ling. She didn't know what to say to comfort her, because she also had similar troubles and worries, and the pressure was no less than Shangguan Ling's.

  "Since it's already happened, there's no use regretting it, let's just think of a way to solve the problem."

  "Do you still need to think about it?" Upper official Ling wiped away his tears and said, "Just kill that bastard directly, the heavenly fate will automatically be lifted."

  "Ling Er, don't be so impulsive!" Yun Mo stopped him and explained, "Killing him may or may not lift the heavenly bond, it's not absolute. Moreover, he is now your heavenly bond partner, if he dies, your heart will definitely be injured, and your cultivation will also be affected."

  "I don't care! Even if my cultivation is damaged and my spirit is crushed, I will still break off the heavenly bond with him." Shangguan Ling's words were as fierce as her actions.

  Yun Mo shook his head, "Things are not that simple. The relationship between Tian Yuan Dao companions is extremely subtle and complicated. If it were just a matter of damaged cultivation and wounded spirit, that would be one thing. But more importantly, it will affect your future path of cultivation. Especially since this happened, if you kill him, it will inevitably trigger heart demons. At that time, your path of cultivation will be fraught with obstacles, and the karmic debts will come one after another..."

  If these words were spoken by someone else, Shangguan Ling might not have believed them, but since Yun Mo said so, she knew they must be true.

  "Why must we kill and be killed? Is it our sisters' fate to end up like this? Being defiled by that bastard, and then inexplicably bound together by a heavenly fate?" Shangguan Ling grasped her hair, her heart in agony, as she crouched on the ground.

  "Ling'er, don't be sad, Tianyuan's knot can also be untied. Have you forgotten about Long sister?"

  "Dragon Sister?" Upon hearing the three words "Dragon Sister", Shangguan Ling's eyes lit up with joy, "Yes! Yes! Dragon Sister is all-powerful, she must have a way. Let's go find her now." After speaking, her expression immediately turned gloomy and she said dejectedly, "But Dragon Sister often wanders the four seas, where can we find her?"

  "I should be able to find her."

  "Ah! That's great, I've been waiting for you here, Mo sister. You go and come back quickly!" It seemed to have seen hope, and Shangguan Ling also stopped crying.

  "I don't know when I'll be able to come back, and this is also my master's cave." Yun Mo said with a bitter smile, "If Master comes back and finds out about this, I'll die a terrible death!"

  "What should I do? Should I go home first? No, my parents and grandparents are all very perceptive, they will definitely notice that I have already formed a heavenly bond with someone else. If they find out, I'm done for! Go back to the sect? Yes! Master is probably still in seclusion, Mo sister, I'll head back to the sect first and wait for your news."

  "Alright, back to your sect, you must be careful and don't let the seniors of your sect discover the relationship between the two of you."

  "What does it mean? Eldest Sister Yun, you want me to bring him back to the sect together?" Seeing Yun Mo nodding, Upper Official Ling directly refused, "No way, I see that dead lecher and I want to kill him. Moreover, if I bring a man back, the sect's seniors will definitely be suspicious!"

  "Your sect has many skilled fighters, but taking him back now would not be suitable." Yun Mo felt a headache coming on and said, "However, he is currently my destined Dao partner, his life and death are closely tied to ours. Before I find Dragon Sister, I must ensure his safety." Just as she was saying this, Yun Mo suddenly thought of something and said, "Your aunt is the leader of Qing Yu Men, why not temporarily leave him in Qing Yu Men and let your aunt take care of him?"

  "Sister Meng, that's my aunt! She may not be able to see that I've already formed a heavenly bond with you, but if I bring that damned godstick back, how am I supposed to explain it to her?"

  "No need for explanation, just tell the truth."

  "What's wrong! Eldest sister, are you trying to kill me?"

  "Ling'er, do you think this matter can really be hidden? Your master, your parents are all cultivators who have attained the Dao, with eyes as sharp as a torch. Which one of them cannot see whether your virgin body is still intact or not? Which one of them cannot see the changes after you've formed a heavenly bond? Your palace seal has already disappeared and the heavenly bond mark has appeared, how can it be hidden?"

  Shangguan Ling knew that Yun Mo was telling the truth, but she still couldn't accept it. She shook her head and said, "Let's just pretend we don't know for now, I don't want to tell Aunt."

  "Silly girl! This matter can't be hidden from either of us, your aunt has experienced more than we have and handles things absolutely better than us. Moreover, she loves you so much, if by any chance your master and family or my master and family start to suspect something, your aunt can still help us deal with it."

  "But... but..." Shangguan Ling grabbed her hair and shook her head violently, "Ahh, Auntie will scold me to death later! Mo sister, you come with me too! And you tell Auntie."

  "Okay! I'll go with you!"

  ……

  In the dimly lit stone chamber, Tang Jing leaned against the wall, sitting in a corner with his head tilted at will, his left leg bent and his right leg stretched out. His expression was even more gloomy, his eyebrows deeply furrowed. Just now, he had tried to sense the curse of yin and yang, but his mind had almost been intimidated into dispersing. The heavenly trend contained in the curse of yin and yang was really too terrifying.

  "Hahaha..."

  Tang Qing smiled foolishly, shook his head and muttered to himself, "Ever since I embarked on the path of a loose immortal, I've been battered by heavenly tribulations. Now, with this yin-yang curse added to the mix, it's all just more battering anyway. Go ahead and do your worst."

  For Tang Qing, things have come to this point, and he has no ability to change. Since that's the case, he might as well not try to change. Whether it's a heavenly calamity or a curse, he'll just live his life as he should. He's been able to survive until now not because of his cultivation or luck, but because of his carefree attitude. He can pick things up and put them down, and he knows how to live in poverty or wealth. He's learned to find joy in hardship; otherwise, having gone through nine heavenly calamities, he would have long since died from depression.

  It seemed to have sensed the approaching footsteps, and Tang Qing said without opening his eyes, "What else do you two want to do?"

  "What else do you want to do!" Shangguan Ling saw Tang Qing and couldn't help but get angry, especially when this guy had a dejected and helpless look on his face, making Shangguan Ling want to run over and beat him up. Pointing at Tang Qing, he scolded, "You damned rascal, you took advantage of me and Sister Mo so much, and now you're acting like you've been wronged, as if we did something to you! You really have no shame!"

  "Isn't that so? If you had listened to my advice, things wouldn't have turned out this way. Besides, it's still unclear who took advantage of whom."

  Whether it was Shangguan Ling or Yun Mo, they couldn't help but admit that Tang Qing's words were true, yet somehow they didn't sit right with them. Shangguan Ling was even more furious, gritting her teeth in anger, yet she couldn't refute his words.

  "Tan... Young Master Tan." Yun Mo took a deep breath, and his calm, gentle eyes returned to normal as he spoke softly, "The reason things have developed like this is indeed because of us. The fact is already so, and it can't be changed. Moreover, we've unknowingly formed a heavenly bond and become dao companions, which isn't something we wanted to see happen. So, our only choice now is to think of a way to dissolve the heavenly bond."

  Fated companions in Tao, since it is a fate witnessed by the heavens, can it be dissolved with just a word? If it can be dissolved, would it still be called a heavenly fate?

  Tang Jing shook his head, if fate could be undone, he wouldn't have to be so tormented.

  "Now let's go solve this problem together, can we?" Yun Miao's voice was filled with a gentle tone that made it hard to refuse. However, Tang Qing didn't have the mood to care about this right now. He stood up and said weakly, "Do as you please."
