”You've” Zi Yuan said as she stared out of the windshi+eldA young irl with a backpack had just walked past the ca looked totally affronted”What blunder?”
”Look closer,” Zi Yuan said, pointing at the windshi+eldThe couple was now standing at the roadside, no doubt trying to get a cab ride for the it, Elder Sister”
Zi Yuan looked at her protégé coldly”You spout all this nonsense about those two being vile perverts when in fact they are both still virgins”
”What!!” Hongling shouted”B- But how could that be”
Zi Yuan sighed”How ? Do not let your prejudices cloud your judgementYou need to observe and come to conclusions based on objective facts, not your e opened her mouth to protest, but Zi Yuan silenced her with a raised hand
Zi Yuan pointed at the windshi+eld”Just look at the girlOpen your eyes and lookWhich part of her doesn't scream maidenhood to you? Are you really that blind? Her brow bones, her pelvic structure, even the lack of gap between her thighsThese are all tell-tale signs that she's still a virgin
”I ad was able to take the damask from youBut now that I've taken a closer look at hi at all”
”But look at hiling with a glare”You are the one who isn't looking, Hongling” Zi Yuan turned away to face the windshi+eld”Despite your claiin too”
”But that'sthat's because he had the Jindan's aura!” Hongling said defiantly
”The Jindan only helped hiarded Hongling pointedly”That isn't how he” Zi Yuan paused to let her words sink in”His Spirit is stronger than yours!”
”You don't know that,” Hongling said petulantly”II was startled, that's all! My Spirit faltered when I got surprisedIt- it was a slip upI bet if I stayed and fought, th- those touldn't be a match for me!”
”You foolish child!” Zi Yuan seethed”He took the damask from youYou lost your weapon, and you still think you can take hiet you killed!”
”That's not a fair assessment, Elder Sister! I was taken by surprise! It wasn't even a fair fight! It—”
Zi Yuan regarded her protégé icily”A fight? Is that the reason you want to becoht? To show off your powers and use it to oppress others? If it is, then you're a disgrace to the school!”
”You're just taking his side because of that stupid prophecy!”
Zi Yuan stiffened in her seat, then turned away froht nowStupid prophecy? How dare she?
”E- Elder Sister Z- Zi YuanI'm sorryI didn't mean itI'm sorry”
After a while, Zi Yuan turned in her seat and stared at Hongling”By calling it a stupid prophecy, you have disrespected Master as well as our school” Zi Yuan took deep breath, then exhaled slowlyThis conversation was over
Hongling could say anything she wanted about the prophecy, but the truth wouldn't change—the prophecy had already co for ten years to see the first sign of the prophecy co trueNow she had finally seen it, albeit in the ht, MasterYou were right all along
Zi Yuan was just nine when her hu for the very first tih it were just yesterday: the way herover 200 years old; the clouds and wisps of fog floating under their feet as they stared down from the summit
”Zi Yuan, do you know that you can see your past and your future on this stone?” her chen
Zi Yuan let her eyes travel up the length of the tapering stone pillar erected at the center of the summit
”Interested to know your past? Your future?” Master prompted
Zi Yuan shook her head”I don't want to know about e the pastBut” Zi Yuan paused, turning away from the pillar to look at her master”I want to know about my future”
Herbranch off a tree beside themZi Yuan studied her master's actions quizzically”Master? What are you doing?”
Her chen”Just watch” He lowered the branch so that the tip was buried athe cloudsA while later, he raised the branch and waved it in the air a few tichen's surface
”Zi YuanYour destiny lies within this poeaze and read the first line: The Jindan's co ordains thine fateThe sound of the first thunder shalt coaze away froarded her master in confusion”What does it ly”Well, that line basically ed in the mortal world”
Zi Yuan frowned”Soulmate? But what if I don't know him? Why should I see him as my soulmate?”
Herthe first , Zi Yuan”
”ButWhat if I hate thefor hi in love with hihed”AhWell, as for the why, you shouldn't be asking me” He then looked at Zi Yuan seriously”You have to discover the why for yourselfThe Obelisk of Fengchen merely states a prophecyIt never states the reason behind its predictions”
Zi Yuan released a long sigh and leaned her head against the car's headrestLi Yundong and the girl had just hopped onto a cabMasterI've alreadyfor himWhy, Master? Why is a mere mortal destined to be my soulmate?
