It’s just cultivating immortality, who isn’t a favorite of heaven?

Luochuan Market and Pingshan Market are similar in size, both are medium-sized markets. She also saw the shops of Linyi Pavilion and Yuebao Pavilion here.

Being able to open branches in every market town, the power behind Linyi Pavilion must be quite large. She couldn't help but wonder why Qiao Muyun was targeting her.

However, this matter would not produce any results in the short term, so she was only puzzled for a moment and then put it out of her mind.

There are still a few months before Shen Yunjian's coming-of-age ceremony, so there is no rush to go to the Shen family.

She randomly found a teahouse to sit down, intending to take a rest before making any plans.

It is not difficult to hear from the manager's words that the Shen family must have considerable influence in Xun Wuze. Shen Yunjian is actually the young master of the Shen family, and his status is extraordinary.

When she was in Xuanyang City, she guessed that Shen Yunjian must have some background, and now it has been verified.

The Shen family seemed to attach great importance to Shen Yunjian's coming-of-age ceremony. As soon as she sat down, she heard other cultivators in the teahouse also discussing this matter.

"The young master of the Shen family is no pushover. I heard he secretly ran away to the secular world four years ago, and was brought back three years ago by someone sent by the head of the Shen family."

The monk who was speaking was sitting at the table in front of her. There were three of them in the group, and they spoke without avoiding others. Cheng Shuyan heard everything clearly.

"Yes, I heard that he has been sneaking away quite a few times in the past few years, but the coming-of-age ceremony is approaching, and Patriarch Shen is keeping a close eye on him, so he didn't let him slip away."

"Yes, it took the Shen family many years to finally get such a descendant with natural spiritual roots, so naturally they treasure him like the apple of their eye.

Who knew this young master was such a troublemaker, thinking of going out and doing good deeds all day long! If I had this kind of family background, I would just be content to be a freeloader and eat and drink for free!

After saying that, everyone burst into laughter.

Cheng Shuyan shook his head. These people said so much only because they were not qualified and had no family background, and they were jealous of Shen Yunjian's status and position.

She didn't want to listen to their nonsense anymore and was about to pay the bill and leave, but she unexpectedly heard them talking about something else.

"Hey, have you heard? Cheng Lingshu, the daughter of the Cheng family head of Qinglan Mountain, is getting engaged to Xie Jingxiu, a disciple of the Xuanfeng Sect's headmaster."

Xie Jingxiu.

This name made her whole body tremble, her blood surged, and cold sweat broke out all over her body in an instant.

She seemed to be frozen in place, standing there in a daze, unable to move.

Her eyes were shrouded in blood-red, and she seemed to have returned to that night fifteen years ago.

The Cheng family courtyard was stained with blood, and her relatives were lying in a pool of blood.

Until the last moment, her father was still whispering to her to run.

Gradually, the hatred in her eyes grew stronger and stronger, and the aura on her body became increasingly chaotic.

The Xie Jingxiu holding a knife in front of her seemed to be looking through her fifteen years ago to Cheng Shuyan today.

She heard him say, "Ayan, when we get to the world of immortal cultivation, I will find a magical medicine for you so that you can forget all this."

Cheng Shuyan couldn't help but tremble all over, her eyes were red, and the only thought in her mind was to kill Xie Jingxiu, so the Heaven-Breaking Hammer appeared in her hand.

She was about to swing the hammer at Xie Jingxiu in front of her when someone suddenly put her arm around her shoulders.

"Girl, even if you're mad at me, you can't do it in the market. Let's go back and talk about it, okay?"

The scene in front of him gradually became blurred, his thoughts returned to reality, and Cheng Shuyan finally woke up.

When he realized that he had almost gotten into a fight in the market, he felt a surge of fear in his heart.

Monks are absolutely not allowed to take action in the market town. If they are discovered by the law enforcement team, the consequences will be disastrous.

She looked at the man who was holding her. The man looked to be no more than twenty years old, with gentle features. He was wearing a green robe and a black jade belt around his waist. There were faint patterns on his outer robe that floated in the light, and he exuded nobility.

The law enforcement team sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy in this place and appeared at the door of the teahouse.

She just saw that the man stopped her but did not actually take action and no consequences were caused, so she stood at the door with a suspicious look in her eyes.

She remained silent. The man sighed and said again, "Okay, let's go back first. I'll definitely apologize to you when we get back, okay?"

"Have you two finished talking? If you want to fight or make a scene, don't do it here. She activated a magical weapon. Although it didn't cause any consequences, she still needs to be fined! Five hundred spirit stones. Pay the fine before you leave."

Seeing that she was slow to speak, the law enforcement officer at the door became a little impatient and spoke in an impatient tone.

The man immediately took out a storage bag and handed it to the law enforcement officer.

"Thank you all for your hard work, the extra space is for tea."

Seeing that the man had a very good attitude and Cheng Shuyan didn't say a word, the few people thought that it was just a quarrel between lovers, so they took the spirit stones and got it.

Many people in the teahouse witnessed this scene. After the law enforcement team left, the man loosened his grip on her hand, grabbed her sleeve instead, and whispered,

"Let's go back first, okay?"

Cheng Shuyan nodded and let him pull him away.

It wasn't until they walked onto the street and out of sight of the onlookers that the man let go of her and apologized to her:

"I'm sorry, young lady. I'm Helan Ci. I had to be rude to you just now."

"Fellow Daoist Helan, you are too kind. I should thank you."

She bowed solemnly to Helan Ci and expressed her gratitude: "Just now, I lost my composure in the teahouse and almost caused a disaster. Thank you for saving me."

"Miss, you don't have to be so polite. I don't think you're a bad person, but you did seem to have a hint of hostility just now. I'm afraid you might have a demon in your heart. You'd better be more careful in the future."

Helan Ci's kindness made Cheng Shuyan even more grateful to him.

"I did have a demon in my heart just now. Thank you for reminding me."

"Young lady, please be more careful in the future. Right now, it's best for you to find a place to meditate and calm down. I won't disturb you anymore."

"Okay, I will remember your kindness today. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."

……

After the two parted, Cheng Shuyan found an inn to stay in.

In the room, she began to recall what happened in the teahouse today.

More than ten years had passed, and she thought she had been able to control her hatred for Xie Jingxiu. However, she didn't expect that today, just hearing the name would make her feel demonic.

Because of the sudden emergence of her inner demons, she did not hear what those people said afterwards, and she was not sure that the Xie Jingxiu they were talking about was the Xie Jingxiu she knew.

But just this one name was enough to bring out her hatred for that person.

Since entering the world of immortal cultivation, Cheng Shuyan has never forgotten Xie Jingxiu and has been thinking about revenge on him all the time.

But she entered the world of immortal cultivation thirteen years later than Xie Jingxiu, so she could only concentrate on her cultivation and not slack off for a moment.

Now she heard the name without even asking.

It seems...

It is God's will.
