Chapter 116: Future Choice

“Your disciple understands!” Shui Jing said calmly, “Rest a.s.sured, master, your disciple promises that I will not be affected by any exogenous factors!”

“Really?” Celestial Mei Hua immediately said with a laugh, “Let your master test you again. If you are able to pa.s.s this test, I will be able to let you go fight for the Mystical Spiritual Fruit in peace!”

“Please test me, master.” Shui Jing immediately said with utmost politeness.

“Good, good, good!” Celestial Mei Hua expressed her delight thrice, then said with a cunning smile: “My disciple, hurry up and tell your master, in the broad daylight out in the open, you actually had dual cultivation with that Little Fatty. How was the feeling of doing it openly with him in broad daylight?”

As Shui Jing heard that, her face immediately changed colours. It became occasionally red, occasionally white, occasionally purple. After her face changed colours thrice, she could not help but cry out, “Master, since when did I do...do it in daylight?”Following her words, her Moon Water State collapsed once again.

Seeing the situation, Celestial Mei Hua immediately laughed loudly and said, “My disciple, you lost again! How am I going to be at peace to let you face those cruel disciples of the devil’s path if you’re like that?”

“But...but master, your words are really too ugly to hear.” Shui Jing lamented in grievance.

“Trust me, child.” Celestial Mei Hua said sternly, “Those disciples of devil sect will definitely be 100 times more disgusting than me! If you can’t even pa.s.s my test, then you would most likely die in the fight for the Mystical Spiritual Fruit.”

As Shui Jing heard that, she was stupefied. Then she frowned as she considered what her master said. Only after a while did she take in a deep breath and regain her state. When she spoke, it was with a calmness, “Master, your disciple understands. It seems that your disciple is still lacking and is unable to face such an attack. However, your disciple is not a person who gives up easily. I have decided that when I fight those disciples from the Devil’s sect, I will first shut off my hearing. Anyway, with my Plum Blossom Divination, I would be able to handle them even if I am deaf.”

When Celestial Mei Hua heard that, her eyes lit up and she said with a smile, “Good good good, you are able to find a different method to face this problem. Your master is proud of you. If that’s the case, it wouldn’t matter much if I consider that you’ve pa.s.sed.”

“Thank you, master!” As Shui Jing heard that, she immediately said excitedly, “If that’s the case, can I go compete for the Mystical Spiritual Fruit now?”

Celestial Mei Hua suddenly said with a mysterious smile, “It’s true that you can, but is there really the need?”

Shui Jing was startled by what Celestial Mei Hua said and she asked in doubt, “Master, why do you say that?”

Celestial Mei Hua did not answer the question directly. She only stood up slowly and looked to the plum forest and said, “Disciple. Tell me the truth, after you cultivated your temperament for so many years, your heart should already be as calm as water. But why is it that your state is so easily broken by your master for two consecutive times?”

That’s...that’s because master’s words are too...too sharp!” Shui Jing answered with a bitter laughter.

“Haha, really?” Celestial Mei Hua couldn’t help but laugh as she said, “Is it because my words are too sharp? Or is it because the shadow of that guy is affecting you?”

“Master, what do you mean by this?” Shui Jing frowned and asked.

“Divine dual cultivation, it is the most profound technique of dual cultivation. After the dual cultivation, both the parties would leave a mark in each of the other party’s spiritual sense. Celestial Mei Hua said seriously, “This mark is your weakness. The reason why you failed just now isn’t because my words are too sharp. But, it is because I mentioned ‘him’, touching your weakness and disrupting your state of mind! Am I right?”Shui Jing was first disbelieving. Then, she suddenly became at a loss as her state unconsciously disappeared.

When Celestial Mei Hua saw that, she laughed bitterly and said, “It really is the case. I did not use any sharp words but only mentioned ‘him’ and your state crumbled!”

“Master, what should your disciple do?” As Shui Jing heard that, she immediately asked.Again, Celestial Mei Hua did not answer her directly. Instead, she asked, “Do you still remember what I divined for you the first time we met?”

“I remember.” Shui Jing nodded and she suddenly added, “Don’t tell me, he’s...he’s that guy?”

“That’s right!” Celestial Mei Hua nodded her head and said, “Back then, I said that you are extremely talented and are naturally born with good fortune. In future, you will definitely be like a shooting star as you rise up to became a powerful figure in the cultivator’s world far exceeding your master. But, you are also destined to meet a nemesis in future who will be stuck in your life forever, bringing you endless sadness and trouble! But at the same time, he will also bring you many fortuitous encounters. The moment you two meet, you don’t need to ever think about being separated. I believe that you can also feel it that the little fatty who you had dual cultivation with is the fated nemesis in your life!”
