Chapter 965: The Wife Who Has No Spiritual Roots in the Cultivation Novels
He just held the mustard bag tightly and spoke in a serious tone.
"Thank you, master."
"Thank you for what."
The sect leader waved his hand, his eyes full of helplessness but also a bit of relief.
"You, kid, in the past hundred years, you haven't taken a liking to any of the good-looking and well-trained people in the sect, and you still haven't gotten wise.
I thought you were more suitable to practice the ruthless way, or like your master, you only have the great way in your heart.
Now that you finally have someone you like, your master won’t let you down.
Just remember, if you dare to abandon this mortal Taoist partner in the future, I will not forgive you."
After saying the ugly words in advance, the sect leader felt relieved.
"Disciple, I will never do that. I will marry her and will protect her for the rest of her life."
Shen Qingci's tone was firm, his eyes full of seriousness.
The sect leader looked at his determined expression, sighed softly, and began to feel sorry for the rare treasures he had given away.
"Okay, I've given you the materials. Go back quickly and don't keep the girl waiting anxiously.
By the way, you asked me to help you before, what is it?"
When Shen Qingci heard his master asking about "help", he spoke directly without hesitation, even though it was indeed a bit embarrassing for him.
"Master, I actually have something I want to tell you."
He raised his eyes to look at the clan leader, his tone casual.
"You said."
The sect leader leaned back in his chair, his fingertips stroking the jade box containing the "Amethyst Grass" on the table, and in his heart he was still comforting himself that this was not bad.
Shen Qingci lowered his eyes and carefully considered his words, hoping not to make his master faint.
"First, I am now using the name 'Shen Yanzhao' in front of my future Taoist companion, and I have also lied to her about my identity.
I lied and said I was an outer disciple of Qingyun Sect.
If I fail to confess my identity to her in time in the future, or accidentally make her angry, Master, please arrange for Shen Yanzhao to be promoted from the outer sect to the inner sect, and then become your personal disciple, so that I can have an identity to use.
You can't let your little Taoist partner really marry an unknown person, right?
Of course, this is just the worst-case scenario I can think of, and I will do my best to prevent this from happening."
Shen Qingci originally thought it was simple, but now the more he likes someone, the more he fears that the person he likes will not accept him.
And he really didn't want to confirm his original identity as an outer disciple. He could obviously give her everything, so why did he pretend to be poor?
It's just that he's afraid she won't be able to accept it now. In the future, his identity will be enough to give her a sense of security.
Shen Qingci also knew that he was contradicting himself, but it didn't matter. After all, he had decided on his Taoist partner!
When the sect leader heard the name "Shen Yanzhao", he was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but chuckle.
"You're quite good at finding a way out for yourself. I just didn't expect that my disciple, who is so handsome and talented, could actually talk you out of your identity.
You are really too enthusiastic.
This isn't a difficult thing to do, but deception is always bad, both for you and your little Taoist partner.
But never mind, it's your own business after all.
If you need, I will have someone add the name 'Shen Yanzhao' to the sect's roster.
However, you must remember that lies will eventually be exposed, so don't let them backfire and make the girl even angrier."
"Disciple understands. This won't happen unless necessary."
Shen Qingci nodded, coughed lightly and said the second thing.
"The second matter concerns the past of my future Taoist companion and the ethos of our sect.
Although she was a mortal, she had been engaged to Lin Yanci, the current Taoist partner of Zhao Qiutan, the daughter of the inner sect elder Zhao, and the engagement lasted for five years.
After Lin Yanci joined the sect, she never concealed the fact that she was engaged in the secular world. She even became very close to Zhao Qiutan, who was already aware of this matter. If I hadn't happened to meet her when I returned from the secret realm that day and she came to cancel the engagement, I'm afraid the engagement would have been delayed even further.
He paused, thinking of Miaomiao's fatigue when climbing the mountain and her decisiveness when breaking off the engagement, and a trace of heartache appeared in his eyes.
"Lin Yanci is so indifferent to the engagement, and Zhao Qiutan is still close to him even though he knows he has a fiancée. The character of these two is really worrying.
Master, you might want to think about this. Although the sect values talent when accepting disciples, it ignores the word "friendship".
For them, secular marriage may be a thing of the past.
But for ordinary people, that is five years of time and expectation. To be treated with such contempt is no different from betrayal.
What's more important is that if the sect condones this kind of "treating unresolved relationships with others with disregard for them," the higher the disciples' cultivation level becomes in the future, the more likely they will disregard "love and righteousness" as nothing.
Today it's a mortal engagement, tomorrow it could be a bond of fellow disciples, a bond of righteousness. If this continues, what's the difference between our Qingyun Sect and those demonic cultivators who only value strength?"
Shen Qingci looked at the sect leader solemnly. His words were clear and logical, showing both his protection for Miaomiao and his concern for the sect. There was no trace of the embarrassment of being "teased" before.
The sect leader originally had a teasing smile on his face, but upon hearing this, he immediately restrained his expression, stopped stroking the jade box with his fingertips, and frowned slightly.
He has been in charge of Qingyun Sect for many years and has always paid attention to the cultivation and character of his disciples, but he has ignored the issue of "the emotional connection between the mortal world and the immortal world."
Many disciples in the sect are of ordinary origin, and perhaps they all have similar "past ties", but no one has ever pointed them out like Shen Qingci did.
"you're right."
