"See that, see that."
Not far away, Guan Wen enthusiastically told the junior sisters who just returned yesterday, "Normally, disciples from different sects greet each other with a bow, but the Holy Daughter from Qingmiao Palace just now gave a full courtesy, that’s totally a shy attitude towards her sweetheart!"
"Yeah, I saw, Senior Sister, you don’t have to be so excited." Bai Lu nudged Guan Wen’s arm, "Be careful not to let Senior Mu hear you talking about Saintess Zhu."
Guan Wen quickly glanced in the direction of Mu Qingyue, stuck out her tongue and said, "I don’t think she will. You all weren’t here yesterday, so you don’t know that later on Senior Mu got along very well with Saintess Zhu."
"Maybe she just acts like that in front of Elder Brother?"
"No, no, no." Guan Wen shook her finger, "I bet they didn’t argue at Taichu Peak yesterday, otherwise Elder Brother wouldn’t be so at ease. Look, Saintess Zhu is even greeting Senior Mu at the door."
"So, you mean, Elder Brother has quite the skills?"
"Don’t put it so harshly." Guan Wen rolled her eyes at Bai Lu, "This just means Senior Mu and Saintess Zhu are both broad-minded people, appreciating each other and living in harmony."
"Yes, Senior Sister, you’re right about everything." Bai Lu giggled and flattered.
"Hmm~" Guan Wen raised her chin proudly, "I’m just curious what little secret Saintess Zhu whispered to Elder Brother, he seemed so stunned."
"Even Saintess Zhu, lowering her head, not at all like the Holy Daughter of Forget Love Path..."
"Don’t be so curious, it’s Elder Brother’s private matter, let’s just chat, don’t really annoy Elder Brother."
"You all stop chatting for a moment." Jiang Wuya looked at them, "Come over and lend a hand."
Taiyi Hall is very large, but no hall can accommodate all the guests, so Zheng Dongliu ordered that the longevity banquet be held in the plaza of Taichu Hall.
Towering green trees reached the sky, their dense leaves perfectly blocking the sunlight, casting dappled shadows among the seats.
Xiao Yinruo, who led the people under him, did not sit immediately but first offered a birthday greeting to Zheng Dongliu at the head seat.
"No need for formalities." Zheng Dongliu lifted his hand slightly, then glanced at Zhu Nanzhi beside Xiao Yinruo, curiously asking, "Zhan Ming chose Jin’an?"
As the Sect Master of Wandao Sect, Zheng Dongliu clearly had some understanding of the Forget Love Path of Qingmiao Palace.
"It was the junior’s own choice." Zhu Nanzhi said proudly, "Brother Jin’an changed his name in Nanzhuo Domain, but I fell for him at first sight, I have a good eye, don’t I?"
Zheng Dongliu stroked his beard and laughed heartily, "Indeed, being able to get Jin’an to agree, you have quite the skill."
"The junior just feels that while predestined fate certainly makes sense, it’s still important to take initiative." Zhu Nanzhi smiled slightly, "Although the way of entering the world of the Lifebound Artifact certainly suits the owner, blindly following Zhan Ming’s method, I would have missed Brother Jin’an."
"In my view, Forget Love Path is a kind of ’thought’, a realm of cultivating the heart. If entering the world still requires the help of a Lifebound Immortal Sword to choose, then it wouldn’t be my own Dao."
Zheng Dongliu glanced at Xiao Yinruo, "The child has great insight."
Xiao Yinruo made a bow to Zheng Dongliu, thinking that his disciple being able to cultivate the Forget Love Path into the form of Yin-Yang Dao, isn’t it insight?
"Senior gives too much credit." Zhu Nanzhi modestly smiled, "It’s all insights gained from Brother Jin’an."
"Haha." Zheng Dongliu laughed, "Being able to walk your own path is a good thing."
Xiao Yinruo looked at his obedient disciple, whose expression softened and excitement showed whenever Lu Jin’an was mentioned, quickly pulling her by the wrist to greet Zheng Dongliu and then head for their seat.
"Master." Zhu Nanzhi looked at Xiao Yinruo, "Don’t walk so fast..."
Feeling the slight sway in her lower abdomen, Zhu Nanzhi bit her lower lip lightly, afraid her master would notice something unusual, she quickly changed the subject, "Disciple hasn’t finished speaking yet."
Xiao Yinruo looked back at her, "What else do you want to say? That Wandao Sect and Qingmiao Palace will be one family in the future?"
Zhu Nanzhi blinked, "Can’t I?"
"Heh..." Xiao Yinruo pulled her to sit down, "Wouldn’t it be better to be a bit more reserved? What if others look down on you for being one-sidedly towards him?"
Zhu Nanzhi said indifferently, "What does others’ impression have to do with me? Besides, I have a sense of proportion... I understand my husband better than you do, oh~"
"Do you have to provoke your Master with these words every day now?" Having just sat down, Xiao Yinruo raised an eyebrow and hummed softly, "Your Master also saw yesterday..."
Her tone paused, thinking it was really inappropriate to say these words, she turned back and shut her mouth.
Zhu Nanzhi, sitting properly with her skirt gathered, turned her head to stare at her master, her azure eyes somewhat wary. Her master remembers what happened yesterday? And seemed about to say she also saw her husband?
Xiao Yinruo’s face was calm, as if she couldn’t feel Zhu Nanzhi’s gaze, but this demeanor only heightened Zhu Nanzhi’s suspicion.
After all, her master practices Forget Love Path, if she didn’t care, such matters would just be talk, why stay silent?
Master saw her husband... no, it shouldn’t be possible.
’At that moment, her husband was completely hidden by me... so it’s through my expression at the time judging husband was amazing?’
Zhu Nanzhi pondered silently, suddenly asking, "Are you interested in my husband?"
"Heh..." Xiao Yinruo was about to speak, but felt another ’gaze’ on her face, turning her head to see it was her friend’s daughter, Mu Qingyue.
Xiao Yinruo calmly said, "Your Master’s Forget Love Path isn’t about romantic entanglements."
"Oh~" Zhu Nanzhi didn’t continue to ask, but turned to look at Mu Qingyue, smiling slightly, "Where will you sit?"
