Though the appearance of someone reincarnated isn’t necessarily identical to their former life, I can’t help but feel a baffling connection with Emperor Xia.
As a cultivator, I naturally believe in past and present lives. If the records left in the ancestral notebooks are true... then perhaps I might indeed be Emperor Xia’s reincarnation.
Recalling the dreams that have troubled my brother for years, and the subtle emotions recorded in the notebooks by our ancestor, could it be that my brother and our ancestor have some relationship?
But if that’s the case, why would the master say that Qianxun is my brother’s true love?
Although the master doesn’t know who my brother’s true love is, I’m certain that the person must be the Nine-tailed Fox, Qianxun.
Furthermore, after I met her last time, I combed through a great deal of information. Now, I am almost certain the Nine-tailed Fox I saw is the one that Mo Tianji sealed within the Jade Glaze.
But according to the historical records and the notebooks left by our ancestor, if Qianxun reincarnated, she should renew her fate with Emperor Xia’s reincarnation, right? As for Mo Tianji... having sealed Qianxun, it’s impossible for her to be with him!
Yet the current situation is that the Nine-tailed Fox, Qianxun, is with my brother!
And here I am, looking just like Emperor Xia, but unable to reach her!
At this thought, a strong sense of unwillingness surged within Huo Tianci’s heart.
Everything else might be uncertain at the moment, but one thing I could affirm—if I am indeed Emperor Xia reincarnated, then Qianxun should be mine! Mine!
Even though I’ve only seen her once by now, this can’t stop this thought from arising.
Am I the only one with obsessions? After seeing her, I’ve developed my own!
But now she’s become my brother, Huo Tianzun’s, true love!
What exactly is going on?
Moreover, since the Nine-tailed Fox Qianxun was sealed, she should retain her memories from back then, right? Or did Mo Tianji also seal her memories, so she doesn’t remember Emperor Xia’s appearance?
With this in mind, Huo Tianci couldn’t help clenching his fists.
The only course of action now is to find the Hook Jade.
Mo Tianji’s notes mentioned that this jade, having been imbued with Taoist Skill for over a thousand years, had the potential to become sentient.
Perhaps, once it has developed Spiritual Wisdom, it would know everything from the past.
Noticing that Huo Tianci’s aura was off, True Master Qingyang couldn’t help asking, "Tianci, what’s wrong?"
On hearing this, Huo Tianci was jolted back to reality, then coldly replied without changing his expression, "I’m fine. I’m just pondering over how to draw a demon trapping formation."
True Master Qingyang, hearing this, immediately showed a look of approval and said, "You are really pushing yourself too hard! But with your talent, you’ll figure it out sooner or later, no need to rush."
"I understand, Master," Huo Tianci nodded indifferently.
Then he stood up and said, "Master, I wish to return to the temple to continue my cultivation, so I’ll head back now."
"Alright, go on! But remember to balance work and rest!" True Master Qingyang reminded.
"I will, thank you for your concern, Master."
With that, Huo Tianci bid goodbye to Madam Huo and Huo Family Master, then left the Huo Family.
I’m well aware of my older brother’s capabilities and charm; when he truly dotes on a woman, no one is able to resist his tenderness.
Therefore, I must make contact with Su Qianxun as soon as possible, lest she develop feelings for my brother.
