Chapter 8, Oath

Celestial Messenger said: "Once the title of master and disciple is established, it is constrained by the Heavenly Dao... Wei Zhi, do you truly wish to stay by my side?"

I barely reached the door when suddenly my back tightened, and I was lifted off the ground.

What, what?

I will respond immediately, "Yes."

Indeed, every time you catch me off guard without saying a word, it is truly, truly humiliating

Yes

The two adults ignored her, and Uncle shook his head, saying: "After all, it is not far from the superior cultivation method... Old Wei, do not look down on this superior cultivation method. I know that the third girl has quite good aptitude, but no matter which mountain gate she enters in Tiandu Mountain, the most she can obtain in the early stages is this superior cultivation method. After all, using a superior cultivation method to lay a foundation is common knowledge in the immortal realm. Moreover, I have looked through this immortal-grade cultivation method, and I can say that in terms of laying a foundation, an ordinary superior cultivation method may not even compare to it. Therefore, whether it is the third girl or the fourth girl, let them study it with peace of mind for now."

While Wei Xiang and Miss Wei San were both present, Li Shu continued, "That celestial-grade treasure is the same; it claims to have ten times the spiritual energy. However, except for a few extremely rare constitutions, for the average person practicing inside, the spiritual energy is not even double that of the outside, and it may even be inferior to an ordinary gathering spirit array"

Uncle Li sighed and said, "It is quite common for you not to be aware of the common knowledge of the human realm these days. In any case, you need not think about this matter any further."

After observing him for a long time, I said: "This is not acceptable. When we were on good terms before, you promised to marry me. My father once said that a wife is a wife, and a concubine is a concubine; this distinction is as fundamental as having or lacking roots, and cannot be faked."

I bounced in with a smile and swayed around in a complete circle, and when I came out, my eyebrows were visible but my eyes were not. "Fairy, you are truly wonderful."

Uncle Li smiled and said, "Indeed, whether it is a celestial-grade cultivation method or a celestial-grade treasure, their level is far above that of ordinary treasures and spiritual tools." Observing the eager expressions of the father and daughter, he continued slowly, "However, precisely because their level is extremely high, their specificity is also very strong."

I hurriedly ran into the celestial palace, and at the moment I closed the hall door, I saw Young Master Ming San pressing his forehead against the tree, remaining motionless.

Before long, a sound of footsteps was heard

Uncle Li raised his head to look at the father and daughter, and said: "Do you know what is meant by celestial-grade cultivation techniques and celestial-grade magical treasures?"

Upon hearing this, I was filled with great joy, tears still lingering on my face, and my countenance blossomed with a smile, as I eagerly gazed at him, filled with delight

Willing to do anything wholeheartedly

His voice, though soft and gentle, still reveals that he is angry

I quickly continued, "If I am taken in by Yan Yue, I will never hold a grudge if I am later abandoned or betrayed by him"

I looked at him with confusion

As soon as the voice of Minister Wei fell, Miss Wei San called out from the side: "Father, I am Zhenfeng!" There was even a hint of anger in her voice

As soon as my voice fell, the gentle whisper of the celestial messenger softly came through, "So, you are taking matters into your own hands without going through me?"

Seeing me, he did not dare to speak. The celestial envoy sighed lightly and said, "Having said that, why do you wish to become my disciple?"

I was so frightened that I dared not act recklessly. "I, I want to stay by the side of the celestial envoy. But the celestial envoy does not need me at all. I, I am afraid."

He is truly intelligent

Looking at Miss Wei San, Li Shu said word by word: "The reason that person is so generous is that this kind of celestial-grade technique is only truly useful for the true form of the phoenix. For ordinary people, its effects are even inferior to a good upper-grade cultivation method, making it not worth the effort of noble families to obtain it by any means!"

The celestial envoy looked at me and slowly said, "There is nothing strange about it. In the future, if you serve in the bedchamber, it will be more convenient to come and go this way"

Almost as soon as my voice fell, a beam of celestial light descended upon the foreheads of the celestial envoy and me, and then it flickered and vanished

This place is great, truly wonderful, far superior to the room I had before, elevated by more than one level.

Thinking of this, I immediately said earnestly: "Rest assured, Celestial Envoy." I raised my right hand and swore to the heavens, "With the heavens above, Wei Zhi today will..."

Meeting my gaze, the handsome face of Young Master Ming San displayed a hint of pain. Faintly, I could even sense that he was tense, holding his breath as he awaited my response

I lowered my head and said softly, "Yes, yes."

Prime Minister Wei pondered for a moment, then turned and commanded, "Invite Uncle Li to come over and tell him that I have important matters to discuss."

I nodded quickly: "Yes."

Ah?

I strive not to confine myself to a corner, murmuring: "A Zhi believes that the celestial envoy is performing the duties of a master by imparting teachings and resolving doubts for the thirty-six of us."

Seeing the seemingly pained and disappointed expression on the face of the third son of the Shang family, I quickly retracted my smiling eyes and brows, and said softly: "Hey, do you have anything else to say? If not, I can leave now."

I was momentarily taken aback, then I stretched my head into the room and took a look. Immediately, my face lit up with joy: this room is wonderful, spacious and bright, and it even has a large bed, a four-meter-wide bed on which I could roll three times. Moreover, look at this tiger skin carpet and the white jade tea table; whether it is the wealth of the mortal world or the ease of the celestial realm, it encompasses all.

I looked at the celestial envoy, who moved their lips slightly and said softly: "Yan Yue."

Seeing my head lower and lower, and my body shrinking more and more, the celestial being said: "You have come before me to confess, ostensibly to seek forgiveness, but in essence, you wish for me to take advantage of the situation and accept you as my disciple"

Under the expressionless gaze of the celestial envoy, I became increasingly stuttered, "There, there is a place where my room connects with the celestial envoy's room, as if a door has been opened... Hehe, celestial envoy, don't you think that's quite strange?"

Miss Wei San immediately said: "What is referred to as immortal-grade techniques and immortal-grade treasures, if not items of a higher level than treasures and spirit tools?"

I quietly peered through my thick eyelashes at the fairy and, after a long pause, stammered, "I, I told them that you have accepted me as your disciple, and that you are my master."

Uncle Li casually flipped through the book of spells he had taken, saying, "Just like this book of celestial spells, that person effortlessly produced dozens of copies at the time. When he handed one to each of you, did you ever consider the reason behind his actions?"

I quickly stopped my sobbing

I quickly burst into laughter, "A vow? This is a simple matter. If you, the celestial envoy, say so, I will make the vow immediately"

It turns out he is afraid that I might run away halfway, and I would secretly blame him? This celestial envoy really thinks far ahead; I am not a three-year-old child who cannot survive without his care. As long as I get through this period and find my own place, I might even leave before him.

After watching for a while, he said more gently, "Don't cry."

Minister Wei came to his senses and said anxiously: "Uncle Li, you mentioned that this technique can only yield remarkable results when practiced by one who possesses the true form of a phoenix. Does this mean that if my two daughters are not of the true phoenix form, practicing it would instead waste their talents?"

Wow, I have finally secured my rightful place in the celestial palace! I am no longer homeless.

I agreed so readily, yet the celestial envoy's gaze grew increasingly profound and mysterious. He said, "You must swear that, having received my kindness today, if I were to abandon or betray you in the future, you shall never speak of hatred."

The celestial envoy, however, wore a blank expression. He gazed at me with deep eyes and slowly continued, "But you must make an oath."

The celestial envoy gazed steadily at me

On the Qingbi Mountain

The celestial envoy gazed at me with deep, enigmatic eyes, holding onto my back and lifting me into a room where he set me down, saying: "From now on, you will reside here"

Looking up at the celestial envoy, I whispered, "Honorable envoy, the first two who shouted at me were my biological mother and younger brother, and the one just now was someone I used to have feelings for."

Upon turning around, I realized that I had once again been caught by the celestial envoy by the back of my shirt, as if I were a turtle being captured and brought before him

The middle-aged celestial being glanced at Uncle Li and then dismissed the martial arts manual. He said calmly, "A few days ago, when the Third Miss was inquiring everywhere, I had already learned about the general situation of this martial arts manual."

I paid no attention to the expression of the fairy messenger and simply bent my eyes and began to laugh.

The celestial envoy said softly, "I can take you in."

Upon seeing the middle-aged celestial figure with flowing garments enter, Minister Wei and Miss Wei San quickly bowed in greeting. Minister Wei personally stepped forward to close the door, signaling Miss Wei San to recount the matter once more. Subsequently, Minister Wei presented the celestial-grade cultivation manual that Miss Wei San had been practicing to the middle-aged celestial figure.

I did not wait for his response, but turned on my heel and ran away

I chuckled for a moment, and with a glance at the next room, I couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Fairy, how strange! My room is connected to yours."

As I rushed into the palace door and just stood still, I caught sight of the celestial envoy gazing quietly at me

Lost in thought, I began to hum a tune, no longer concerned with the celestial envoy. I turned my body and merrily ran towards my own room.

I was initially startled, but in the blink of an eye, I jumped in front of him

I looked at the celestial envoy with grievance and said gloomily, "What orders do you have, esteemed celestial envoy?"

The celestial envoy is staring at me

My face turned pale

The celestial envoy scrutinized me for a moment and then slowly said: "You wish to stay, not because you truly want to, but simply because you have nowhere else to go and wish to rely on me to get through this difficult time. Am I wrong?"

On that side, as soon as Miss Wei San returned home, she found Wei Xiang and recounted the day's events in detail. Then, she stepped forward and, in a low voice, suppressing her excitement, said: "Father, that celestial envoy, believing himself to be from the upper realm, is so arrogant and oblivious, he doesn't even understand the principle of 'having a jade in hand brings trouble'... Father, should we quickly send some people to seize that celestial palace before the news spreads?" She made a gesture of 'seizing'.
