Seeing Ren Zhongyuan push open the door and leave, Liu Ziyu sat in the room and let out a long sigh. She was secretly thinking about how she should tell Huo Yudie about this matter. She naturally understood her disciple's thoughts, but whether it was out of sentiment or reason, she had to agree to this matter. She mustn't waste time on it.
After two hours, the sky outside had already darkened. Huo Yudie came back, humming a little tune. She pushed open the door and entered happily. In the end, she saw Liu Ziyu sitting in the room the moment she raised her head.
"Master, you were waiting for me?" Huo Yudie was slightly stunned. Then, she excitedly ran over and hugged Liu Ziyu's arm. She said in a spoiled tone, "Die 'er hasn't come back these few days. Master, you won't blame Die' er, right?"
"Girl, you've become too playful. You're having fun by yourself, and you've thrown your master to the back of your mind." Liu Ziyu dotingly tapped her head and asked with a smile, "How is it? How are you getting along with Feifei and the others? "
"Very good. We're like sisters now. Feifei, Jingjing, and Lan 'er are all very kind and adorable girls. They're much better than those in our academy," Huo Yudie said, wrinkling her nose.
"Hur hur, these girls in our academy aren't born into scheming. They're all forced by their environment. Sometimes, humans have to lower their heads. They have to learn to let nature take its course and learn to accept their fate." Liu Ziyu guided her with a deep meaning.
"Hmm? Master, doesn't everyone say that the ultimate goal of cultivation is to defy the heavens and change one's fate? Why do we have to accept our fate? "Huo Yudie asked, blinking her eyes.
"Defy the heavens and change one's fate?" Liu Ziyu shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighing emotionally. "It's just empty words. How can there really be anything in this world that can defy the heavens and change one's fate? All living things have a fate that is hard to defy, and although cultivators like us have broken through the limits of our own lifespans, we're merely struggling at death's door between obeying fate and defying fate. If there were really people who could defy the heavens, the heavens would have collapsed long ago. What right do we have to continue living then? "
"Oh." Huo Yudie nodded, not really understanding. She did not have Liu Ziyu's experience and knowledge. At most, she could only understand the literal meaning of these words, but the true meaning was not something she could understand right now.
"Oh right, I haven't asked you yet. You should have seen Lin Yi these few days, right?" Liu Ziyu asked.
Huo Yudie's face immediately turned red when she heard this, and she weakly responded in a bashful manner. His face was brimming with happiness. Although she didn't have the chance to be alone with Lin Yi these days, she still felt happy to be able to stay by Lin Yi's side with Ning Xuefei and other close friends.
Looking at his disciple's expression of being unable to extricate himself, Liu Ziyu could not help but feel a headache coming on. After thinking for a while, he said, "Since you've already met, then it's time to put an end to the matter between the two of you. After returning to the East Continent in two days, you won't have anything to do with him anymore. "
"Ah?!" Huo Yudie was originally still immersed in joy, but this time, it was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her head. She looked at her master in a daze, not knowing how to react.
"Die 'er, don't think that Master is cruel. You and Lin Yi are destined to be fated but not to be together. There won't be a good result if you continue to force it. Listen to Master, let him go." Liu Ziyu sighed. Then, he said, "Ren Zhongyuan came today, and he saw the Thunder Xuan Vine on the table. Hence, he thought of a suggestion. He asked his father to refine the Thunder Xuan Pill for us. He guaranteed that he would be able to refine four pills, and two of them would be given to us. "
"He's that kind? Don't tell me there are no other conditions? " Huo Yudie immediately frowned when she heard this. Although she didn't know the exact market, she knew that this bit of Thunder Xuan Vine could be exchanged for two Thunder Xuan Pills. This was practically free, and she didn't believe that there was such a good thing in the world.
"There is indeed a condition. He wants to become Dao companions with you, Die 'er." Liu Ziyu said calmly.
"What?!" Huo Yudie was instantly dumbfounded. She looked at Liu Ziyu with a face full of disbelief, and after a long while, she asked with a trembling voice, "Master, you … you agreed to it?"
"No." Liu Ziyu shook his head, sighed and said, "This is your marriage, Die 'er. Master won't be so unreasonable and make a decision with a single word. However, I hope that you can agree."
Huo Yudie instantly heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at her master in a daze, "Why?"
"Die 'er, Master has already said it earlier. Although Lin Yi is good, there is bound to be no outcome between you and him. Rather than being harmed by him in the future, it's better to let him go as soon as possible." Liu Ziyu paused, hugged Huo Yudie tenderly, and said, "Breaking through to the Profound Ascension Realm is not a small matter. This is an extremely important dividing line in our path of cultivation. After Profound Ascension is the beginning of a great future, but if you suffer a setback at this time, then you can forget about successfully breaking through for the rest of your life. You will forever be stuck at the Nascent Soul Great Circle, unable to advance even an inch, and might even continuously regress."
"Your disciple knows all of this, but …" Huo Yudie clenched her teeth, not knowing what to say for a moment. In her opinion, breaking through to the Profound Ascension Realm was admittedly important, but if she couldn't be together with the person she loved because of this, then let alone Profound Ascension, even if she could directly become an Immortal, she still wouldn't be happy.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse. Actually, if you think about it carefully, Ren Zhongyuan is also a pretty good match, isn't he? Moreover, his conditions are also very good. Not only did he promise to give us two Thunder Profound Pills, the remaining two will also be equally divided with you, Die 'er. That is to say, out of the four pills, three will be given to us. For this section of the Thunder Profound Vine, if you go to find another Seventh Grade Pill Refiner for help, they might not be able to refine four Thunder Profound Pills, let alone directly give us three. "Liu Ziyu earnestly advised.
Huo Yudie sank into silence. She obviously knew that Liu Ziyu was doing this for her own good, and everything he did was in consideration for her. Otherwise, why would he lower himself to the point of bargaining with a person like Ren Zhongyuan?
However, she had never liked Ren Zhongyuan. She didn't like him in the past, and she disliked him even more now. Even if there was no Lin Yi, she still wouldn't be willing to become a Dao Companion with such a person, let alone now that her heart already belonged to someone else?
She was extremely unwilling in her heart, but Huo Yudie couldn't ignore her Master's good intentions. In this world where a Master's life was greater than the heavens, Liu Ziyu being able to not make the decision to betroth her to Ren Zhongyuan, and instead earnestly advise her face to face, this in itself was already very pampering.
