AST 1860 - You are my friend (2/2)

“Does it have to do with you and your family?” Qing Shui only talked about it briefly. He knew that Sheng Jun would know what he meant. If she didn’t want to talk about it, Qing Shui would know that he shouldn’t have to continue asking about it.

“I lived my life happily when I was young. There weren’t any parents who wouldn’t spoil their own children. But as time passed and more siblings were born, to ensure the development of an aristocratic clan, we as the children of our clans must prioritize to gain benefits for our clan. In my case, it goes without saying that the Sacred Origin Immortal Sect will be greatly benefitted with me getting married into the Heaven Star Immortal Sect. It’s because of this that I decided to run away from my clan. As to whether it’s a parental betrothal, or whether my clan is really greatly indebted to them, I am not certain about it. My parents know me very well, they are also very concerned about my final destination. They really like Liancheng Biao. In many people’s eyes, he is a very outstanding man. All along, my parents have always thought that me getting married to him will help to satisfy both parties.”

Sheng Jun explained it very slowly. Qing Shui was able to understand roughly what she was trying to say. It seemed this so-called parental betrothal might not be true. It’s not that Sheng Yuanlong didn’t love his daughter, he might truly have his own reason which was hard to mention, or maybe because they felt that their daughter would find true happiness by getting married there. After all, it’s undeniable that Liancheng Biao really liked Sheng Jun.”

“Do you hate them?”

“No I don’t, maybe this is my destiny ever since I was born. In fact, I am the one who refused to do it, I can’t just blame them for it.”

“Actually, there is already a lot of pain which you are meant to go through in life. There is no point finding more troubles for yourself. But as a restricted human being in this world, if you ever find a chance to resist it, you must do so. This way, at least you will have a more fascinating life.”

“Resistance also comes with its own cost.”

“Whatever you do, there will be a certain cost which you will have to pay. A person may choke to death by merely drinking water. Hence, any sort of resistance will come with its own danger. Before you do anything, remember to always be on guard.” Qing Shui smiled and said.

“On second thought, you might really have a point there.”

“No, it’s not a ‘might’. I am sure that I have a point in what I just said. What do you say, let’s resist your destiny together?” Qing Shui smiled and said. He could express very strong confidence with his smile.

At that instant, Sheng Jun got a bit distracted. The powerful confidence of Qing Shui made her hesitate. At this moment, her intentions had been blocked off by her own thoughts. She knew that there was no way that this man would leave.

“But you must promise me that when it comes to a life-and-death situation, you mustn’t care about me and leave immediately. Otherwise, they will really kill you.” Sheng Jun took a step backward and said.

Naturally, Qing Shui also agreed to it. At a moment like this, it wasn’t up for him to decide whether to leave or not. Besides, even if he was really escaping, he would still be able to take her along. He was very confident that he could definitely leave from there. No one could stand a chance on stopping him.

……

The following three days passed very peacefully. Qing Shui lived his life like normal. The time within the realm was sufficient for him to cultivate. Hence, he was very free during daytime. He would also guide Sheng Jun through her cultivations.

This woman’s physique and temperament were very suited for Taichi. To his surprise, it blended perfectly with the exclusive techniques passed down by her clan. The sword dance that Qing Shui taught her before was of significant value. It was the key to her mastery and integration. It was like a layer and Qing Shui has helped her penetrate through it. Without Qing Shui, it would be hard to say whether she would be successful in it. Even if she could, it might only happen after ten, twenty years or even longer.

Sheng Jun’s strength has also improved significantly. When Qing Shui first arrived at this place, the woman’s strength was supposed to be more powerful than his. But now, his strength has been doubled. Most importantly, the Goddess Force, it was too formidable. It was like a magnifying lens, significantly expanding the power which he unleashed.

Other than cultivations, it was his formations. Qing Shui wouldn’t just sit there and wait for death. It might sound a bit serious to describe it as sitting and waiting for death, but chances were only given to people who were well-prepared. This was a matter which could affect Sheng Jun, his and many more others’ lives. He mustn’t let his guard down. He must do everything cautiously.
