Chapter 65

Choosing A Cultivation Partner

Li Chengfeng was dumbfounded. His mother's words had made him question his entire life.

What if he had two souls?

If he was the reincarnated immortal, then what were the memories he had from the modern world? If he wasn't, then why did he have inexplicable powers?

Everything was a mess.

He s.p.a.ced out for a while, then smiled bitterly. “Mother, if I really am the reincarnated traitorous immortal, then I definitely can't go to the Spiritual Mountain Sect. The palace had given a kill order. If my ident.i.ty was found out, I'm afraid…”

Madam Xie shook her head. “No, it's the opposite. I initially wanted to use ancestral prayers as an excuse to leave Cheng'an and Spiritual Mountain Sect but after these matters, if we leave now, that would be the same as admitting we hurt Sun Boren. I was asking you, have you noticed that Uncle Kun hasn't been around?”

Li Chengfeng's mind raced. He gasped, “Mother… you mean the Spiritual Mountain Sect is already secretly suspecting us?”

She nodded. “If Uncle Kun returned safely, that would mean they do not suspect us. However, he hasn't returned. This is a terrifying message!”

He now completely understood. Emotions unstable, he heaved a long sigh. “I understand now. We must enter the mountain despite knowing of the tiger's presence! It's the last resort.”

Chengfeng was a resilient person. After making the decision, his hesitation and fears disappeared. “Now that they're already suspecting us, then I'll just be extra cautious when I enter the sect. But, are you sure I'll definitely get in?”

The Spiritual Mountain Sect only held entry examinations once a decade. They were marked very strict and while he was a proud man, Chengfeng still doubted himself.

Madam Xie went to the nightstand and opened a small drawer. She took a golden invitation card out and gave it to him.

He was astonished when he recognised what it was. “The Spiritual Mountain Sect's golden invitation? You got it from Sun Boren?”

She nodded. “If you want to enter the sect, you'll have to bring this along and look as righteous as you can, as if it was your right. Plus, you'll definitely pa.s.s the initial ceremony with the invitation, you won't be eliminated that round.”

He took it righteously, “We deserve this anyway!”

They had paid ten years' worth of offerings, of course they did! The poor treatment was ridiculous, plus the jerk had insulted his mother. The hatred within him faded when he thought about how the jerk's eyes had literally been burned off. He'll let Sun Boren go if they ever met again, the guy was already blind.

However, the jerk probably would not recognise him anyway, because he did not have eyes!

Li Chengfeng and Madam Xie gazed at each other solemnly and longingly.

“Mother, I still have two requests.”

She looked at him. “Is the first one related to Zhao Xiaobao?”

He nodded. “Xiaobao has been with me since young, he's basically my brother. I cannot let him live outside, homeless. Mother, please show mercy. He has been a loyal servant, let him return.”

She sighed. “I'll get someone to look for him. I've actually made arrangements for him to go to Yong'an City, the place we were supposed to go to, so he could make initial arrangements before our arrival. Can't believe this happened though. I hope he's alright.”

“I knew you were a kind-hearted person! It was all part of the plan, right?”

She smiled. “You're smart! What's the other request?”

“I want Su Yuehan to accompany me to Spiritual Mountain Sect.”

“What? You want a handmaiden to be your cultivation partner?”

He nodded, a determined look in his eyes.

She scolded angrily, “Have you fallen for her?”

He shook his head. “While she is pretty, I'm not a thirsty pervert.”
