System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

"I don't care." Tianxing smiled and looked at Chen Xuan. "If Zimo asks you to discuss the Dao next time, Brother Chen Xuan, you must contact me."

This comical and absurd scene immediately shattered Chen Xuan's aloof image in the eyes of the second-tier sect disciples.

"Haha, no problem. There's still some time until the 18th of the first month next year. If you want to discuss the Dao with me during this period, feel free to come to the Qiongyu Tower of the Qingtian Marquis's Mansion."

“Okay, it’s a deal.” Tianxing answered readily.

Zi Mo smiled and nodded at Chen Xuan, "In that case, we may have to trouble Fellow Daoist Chen Xuan in the future."

Chen Xuan waved his hand, "I rarely have the opportunity to discuss Dao with someone of the same level, so this is something I've been longing for."

Soon, it was almost midnight, and the gathering at Wanbaoshan was coming to an end.

With Zi Mo, Tian Xing, and other cultivators who wanted to befriend Chen Xuan seeing them off, the phoenix-drawn carriage transformed into a streak of red light and quickly disappeared into the distance.

"Stop looking, your sweetheart has already gone far away."

The phoenix carriage had long since disappeared, but Zi Mo was still gazing up at it. Tian Xing, seeing this, couldn't help but tease him.

"You damned Tianxing, if you dare to spout nonsense again and ruin my and Young Master Chen Xuan's reputation, I won't be so polite to you." Zi Mo's cheeks were flushed as he glared angrily at Tianxing.

"Oh, I'm telling you, among the younger generation of our four great academies, there are some whose strength and background are no less than Chen Xuan's, right?" Tianxing asked with a puzzled look. "Like your Tianqing Academy's chief disciple Jun Wuhui, and my Ancient Academy's number one second-generation disciple Suichuan, they have both clearly confessed their feelings to you, but you didn't like them. Why are you so enthusiastic about Chen Xuan, whom you just met? If this news gets back to the academy, it will definitely cause an uproar."

The two stunningly beautiful fairies chatted as they walked towards the sect's headquarters in Qingtian City. Tianxing was truly puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Zi Mo fell silent, unsure how to explain her strange behavior that day.

After pondering for a long time, she said to her friend, "I never believed in love at first sight before, but after meeting Chen Xuan today, my firm belief has changed."

"Huh?" Tianxing was stunned, her face full of shock. "No way, are you serious?"

Zi Mo shook his head. "I don't know how to describe that feeling. When I was in the sect, I rarely went out because these emotional matters always affected me. We're all fellow disciples, what could I do?"

“In the past, I always felt uncomfortable and uneasy when I attended the lectures of the immortals of the sects,” Zi Mo continued. “But today, even though it was our first time meeting Chen Xuan, I felt incredibly calm during the discussion. I could gain a lot from his explanations of the mysteries of formations and his insights as long as I listened attentively, and I could even temporarily enter a state of enlightenment.”

"I don't know what this is. Maybe even someone as aloof as me would feel admiration for someone so unattainable." Zi Mo shook his head with a wry smile, expressing his inner turmoil.

“That’s true. The reason you act this way in the sect is because you care too much about other people’s feelings,” Tianxing said, frowning. “Take me for example. In terms of looks and figure, I think I’m better than you, right? But look around, who in the sect dares to openly pursue me?”

"Pfft." Zi Mo couldn't help but laugh. "Several of your fellow disciples were crippled by you, and you were even punished with ten years of solitary confinement for it. With your strength, who would dare to repeat their mistakes?"

"Hmph, of course." Tianxing said with a look of disdain. "Those disciples don't concentrate on their cultivation all day long. Their strength hasn't improved much, but their lust is quite strong. You should be like me and take direct action to cripple a few of them and establish your authority. If you keep not taking a stand, it will only give them false hope."

“You’re right. I need to think about it carefully when I get back, otherwise there’ll be no benefit to cultivating in the sect if things continue like this.” Zi Mo nodded, and some of his thoughts became firmer in his mind.

"By the way, you still haven't answered me. Do you like this Chen Xuan kid?" Tianxing asked with a gossipy look on his face.

Zi Mo rolled his eyes at her and said in a low voice, "His battle today will definitely make him famous among the major sects. He didn't react to the sects that invited him, so he probably doesn't intend to join any of the four major academies. It seems that he is interested in the Nine Heavens Profound Purity Palace, the God-Slaying Guard, or the Taiqing Palace or something like that."

"In any case, we probably won't see each other often in the future, and he's starting from such a high point. Even if I have feelings for him, how can we develop feelings if we don't have time to spend together?"

Zi Mo shook his head with a wry smile, "If things continue like this, it might just be a one-sided crush on me, and nothing will come of it."

"Wow." Tianxing's eyes widened after hearing Zimo's analysis. "You're thinking quite far ahead. If you like someone, just go for it! Our lives as cultivators are so long. We're either in seclusion cultivating or on our way to seclusion cultivating. Deep down, we really hope to have a Daoist partner by our side. It's not easy to meet a suitable male cultivator who matches your taste. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another chance."

Upon hearing this, Zi Mo was taken aback and muttered something under his breath.

"Moreover, given the potential he's shown today, as long as he doesn't falter along the way, he'll definitely become a big shot in Qingtian County in the future. If you don't take the initiative now, there are plenty of female cultivators in Xuanqing Palace, Taiqing Palace, and Tushen Guard who are more outstanding than us. By then, you won't have the chance to pursue him anymore."

"I...I..." How could Zi Mo not know that there were even more outstanding female cultivators in the top-tier sects? But today was, after all, their first meeting.

"Sigh, they say it's like climbing a mountain for a man to pursue a woman, but piercing a thin veil for a woman to pursue a man," Tianxing analyzed. "Let's wait until the New Year. Since we can't go back to the sect this year anyway, why not visit him during the New Year and spend the holiday together? You can give him a token to express your feelings and see his reaction. If he accepts it, it means he doesn't reject you; if he doesn't, it won't make your relationship too strained, right?"

Zi Mo nodded after hearing this. "I heard he's a rogue cultivator. He must feel lonely during holidays like the New Year when families reunite. It's good that you did this."

"You silly girl, you've never been in a relationship before, you're so naive," Tianxing said with some concern. "Aren't you afraid he's a jerk?"

"Huh? This... I haven't considered this." Zi Mo was a little flustered.

"Hehe, just you wait and see how I pull off my tricks in a few days. Zimo, for your sake, I'm going to get myself involved. Once you two are together, you'll have to give me a big red envelope."

"Do you have any unconventional ideas?" Zi Mo asked with some concern.

"Don't ask, I can tell if he's a jerk using this method." Tianxing smiled smugly.

"I'm afraid you'll get too caught up in the role and pull a switcheroo," Zi Mo chuckled.

"Hmph, you're overthinking it. I, Tianxing, am attracted to cultivators who cultivate the body of gods and demons. I have no interest in a weak Qi cultivator like him."

The two chatted about their own thoughts as they walked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the sect's branch.

"Zimo, I'll come to see you in a few days. We'll visit him together with Ling Chen. We'll go alone during the New Year."

"Ah."
