“That I naturally know!” Ye Chu looked at Shuigu and said. To possess a Law was a qualitative leap, naturally allowing oneself to undergo transformation. It was just that what he wanted to know was not this. “Is there any way to allow me to comprehend a Law?”
“It can only rely on yourself. Only by relying on yourself can you walk out a path that belongs to you.” Shuigu said, “No one can help you! I am only telling you that if you want to step into the Sovereign realm, this is the quickest and most effective method. Did you not return to ask us how you can reach the Sovereign realm? Now I have told you the path. As for how you walk it, that still depends on yourself. Everyone’s Law is different. What kind of Law you can walk out, that can only depend on you.”
After speaking, Shuigu yawned repeatedly, lay down on a rock, and soon began to snore.
Seeing Shuigu like this, Ye Chu viciously kicked out at Shuigu with his foot. But when Ye Chu’s foot kicked him, it was as if kicking a block of steel, shaking his own leg so much it hurt terribly.
“Damn!” Ye Chu cursed in a low voice. Looking at Shuigu sleeping so sweetly, he was also helpless. Kicking this fellow hurt his own foot. What else could he do?
…
At Wuxin Peak, Ye Chu began cultivating daily, wanting to comprehend the principles of Law and the mysterious Dao as soon as possible. But the result left him very helpless. No matter how he cultivated, he had not touched even a shadow of it.
Old Madman did not know where he had run off to. Xixi was nowhere to be seen. Only Jin Wawa and Ou Yi remained, one fiddling with gold ingots and the other looking into a mirror.
Thus the days passed one by one. Ye Chu’s quiet cultivating life was changed by Jin Wawa’s arrival.
When Jin Wawa looked at Ye Chu, the corners of his mouth carried a heh-heh grin. He looked at Ye Chu with a smile full of schadenfreude. “You brat tricked someone’s daughter. Now they have sent people to your door. Heh-heh, let’s see what you do.”
“Who has come to the door?” Ye Chu was puzzled, but then he was stunned and could not help looking at Tan Miaotong beside him.
“The Tan family has sent people to Wuxin Peak!” Jin Wawa said with a grin. “Hurry up and receive them!”
“Damn, what kind of place is our Wuxin Peak? How can you let people come up so casually?” Ye Chu cursed at Jin Wawa, but his neck could not help shrinking. He secretly glanced at Tan Miaotong, then felt he was too useless. He had not abducted or tricked Tan Miaotong, so what was he afraid of?
“The Tan family is also one of the sacred lands of the Emotion Domain. They have come to visit in the capacity of a sacred land. Wuxin Peak cannot easily drive them away. Moreover, Ou Yi and I, that madman, both agreed that with a good show to watch, we cannot refuse.” Jin Wawa looked at Ye Chu with a smile. “Hurry up and send him away, or send this little girl away.”
When saying this, Jin Wawa’s gaze fell on Tan Miaotong. Looking at Tan Miaotong’s fresh and lovely appearance, he could not help but sigh again. “Such a wonderful person, truly reluctant to see her taken away by others. She has endless charm, just like gold ingots.”
“Scram!” Ye Chu, hearing Jin Wawa’s words, cursed furiously. He thought to himself, this is truly a scoundrel. This fellow clearly wanted to watch his joke.
“Ye Chu!” Tan Miaotong blinked her watery, rippling eyes. Her long eyelashes trembled, extremely delicate and adorable. That pitiful appearance made even Ye Chu’s heart and soul ripple.
“It is fine. You stay here properly. No one will let them take you away to get married.” Ye Chu gave Tan Miaotong a comforting look.
“What?” Jin Wawa jumped up, looking at Ye Chu and exclaiming, “You just said you will not let her get married. Ye Chu, could it be you snatched her back in a bride robbery? You madman, too shameless. Tsk tsk, are you not afraid of Bai Xuan finding out?”
Ye Chu glared at Jin Wawa, ignoring him. He took Tan Miaotong’s hand and walked towards the direction of Wuxin Peak’s mountain gate.
Tan Miaotong was somewhat nervous. Ye Chu squeezed her hand and smiled. “It is fine. If you are unwilling to leave, no one is so bold as to snatch anyone at Wuxin Peak.”
Only when Tan Miaotong heard Ye Chu say this did she feel slightly relieved.
“Uncle Tan Cang, it is you?” Beside the giant boulder at Wuxin Peak where the Sovereign sword was stuck, stood a middle-aged man. When the middle-aged man saw Tan Miaotong, he also revealed a few smiles and quickly walked towards Tan Miaotong.
“The young lady is truly here. I thought the information I found was false.” Tan Cang smiled. “The old servant is relieved to see the young lady safe. However, the young lady has played outside enough. Can you return now?”
Tan Miaotong was very familiar with this middle-aged man. She shook her head and said coquettishly, “Uncle Tan Cang, you know as well as I do what father and the clan elders are doing. I am not willing to go back. Let father go matchmake with others himself. I do not want to get married now!”
Tan Miaotong humphed angrily, her face bright red, as delicate and beautiful as a blooming peach blossom, incomparably gorgeous.
“The master naturally has his plans. Moreover, the husband found for the young lady is absolutely a dragon among men. The young lady will have to marry sooner or later. It is always good to take a look. Even if you do not take a fancy to him, it is one more choice.” Tan Cang smiled. “Alright, young lady. This time you coming out frightened the master. The master sent people everywhere to look for you. Now come back with us, so the master can be at ease!”
“I am not going back. Uncle Tan Cang has also seen that I am safe. You go back and tell father, I will stay at Wuxin Peak for ten or eight years. It is absolutely safe here, so you need not worry. If father wants to take me away, he can say so after he stops trying to matchmake me with others.” Tan Miaotong humphed. The always obedient girl was resisting something for the first time.
Seeing Tan Miaotong like this, Tan Cang also shook his head. This was the first time he had seen Tan Miaotong disobey the master. In his impression, Tan Miaotong had always been very delicate and obedient.
“Young lady… you…”
“Uncle Tan Cang, say no more. You should hurry back.” Tan Miaotong continued, “In any case, I will not go with you.”
“Young lady, you know the master’s temperament. If you are like this, I am afraid the master might come personally.” Tan Cang shook his head.
Hearing Tan Cang’s words, Tan Miaotong’s gaze turned towards Ye Chu, her eyes showing a pitiful appearance. At this moment, Ye Chu’s heart was scratched to pieces. He stepped forward, standing in front of Tan Miaotong. He looked at Tan Cang and smiled. “Since Miaotong is unwilling to leave, then please, Senior Tan, return. Wuxin Peak does not receive outsiders, so I am unable to invite Uncle Tan Cang in for a few cups. Very sorry!” Ye Chu said to Tan Cang.
Tan Cang’s gaze fell on Ye Chu. He then looked at Ye Chu and said, “You are Wuxin Peak’s fourth disciple, Ye Chu?”
“That is indeed this one below. To think Senior Tan actually knows of me. I am overwhelmed by the unexpected favour.” Ye Chu smiled at Tan Cang. “Since Miaotong is unwilling to leave, why must senior force her so bitterly?”
“What is your purpose in tricking the young lady up to Wuxin Peak?” Tan Cang stared at Ye Chu, his eyes carrying a sharp expression.
