Feeling the soft and powerless fists, Ling Xian sighed in relief. His heart finally calmed down.
He knew he was shameless and hypocritical, but he didn't want to lie to himself anymore. He thought he could spend the rest of his life with only two women. But after the selfless sacrifice of Yan Ning Zhi and them, his heart finally wavered.
No one could deny this fact.
It could be a man's bad habit, or it could be that he was born to be a playboy, but he could not see any of these women throwing themselves into someone else's arms.
He could not lie to himself about this, nor could he turn a blind eye to these women's sacrifice.
Whether he was moved or felt guilty, Ling Xian had to take responsibility for it. No matter what the future holds, no matter how the process changes, at least now, he made a promise.
Therefore, his thoughts cleared up and his entire being relaxed.
For a long time, these women have been pressing down on his heart like giant rocks. He could not reject them, but for some reason, he didn't want to accept them.
Today, he chose to accept them. Naturally, he could relax.
"Whatever. Even if I am shameless, I cannot make them sad." Ling Xian muttered to himself. Looking at the women who were laughing and crying, his eyes were full of tenderness.
They had sacrificed far, far too much for him. They were even willing to give up their lives for him. If he doesn't cherish them, he will be struck by lightning.
"Tsk, tsk, the Taoism community's number one. It feels good to let us hit you like this."
Gong Suo Xin grinned, "Alright, since you've given me an explanation, I will let this go."
Hearing this, Feng Jiu Ge and the others stopped. Other than sweetness in their hearts, there was also shyness.
Ling Xian was the same.
Though his heart was filled with emotions, one thing he was certain of was happiness.
That was enough.
As long as life goes the way you want it to, there was no need to be tied down by rules and regulations. After all, in this world, it was normal to have three or four wives.
"Let's get down to business."
Gong Suo Xin tidied up her messy clothes, which made the other women realize that they were not dressed properly.
This made them blush and they quickly hid under their blankets. They didn't even dare to peek their little heads out.
"What are you so shy about? You've already agreed to marry someone, why are you afraid of looking?"
Gong Suo Xin rolled her eyes and teased, "Plus, some pervert might have touched you dozens of times last night."
Hearing this, Ling Xian choked and coughed. He had no words to refute.
Because last night, cough cough … he seemed to have really touched her.
"Sister Gong, let's get down to business!" Tang Thirteen was embarrassed. She vaguely remembered that she kissed Ling Xian.
The other women also opened their mouths, unwilling to continue discussing this embarrassing topic.
"Forget it, let's get down to business."
Gong Suo Xin played with her bangs and said, "It's been almost 20 years, and there is still no progress on the task you asked me to do. Every day, there are many people who come under false pretenses. Especially after you became a level-six cultivator, there are countless of them."
After a pause, she continued, "Unfortunately, all of them are fake."
"All of them?"
Ling Xian frowned. He knew how difficult this task was. It was like searching for a needle in a haystack. But when he heard what Gong Suo Xin said, he still felt disappointed.
After all, he had already accepted the Myriad Treasure Tower's remuneration. If he did not find that girl, wouldn't he be going back on his word?
Even if the Myriad Treasure Tower didn't say anything, he would feel guilty.
"That's right. Either all three are fake, or there are only one or two, but not all three." Gong Suo Xin sighed helplessly.
"What about the coverage of this news? Is there a place it doesn't cover? "Ling Xian asked with a frown.
"That's hard to say. With your reputation now, you are known by everyone in the Taoism community. Even the 36 islands know about you."
Gong Suo Xin shook her head, "But the Taoism community is far too big. There are many places where information is blocked. For example, in small villages, it is hard to guarantee that people will hear the news."
"It seems like there is no hope." Ling Xian softly sighed, thinking that he was going back on his word.
Just as he was sighing, Su Zi suddenly poked her head out and asked, "What are you talking about?" "Master Ling is looking for a girl who has three red moles under her feet," Gong Suo Xin explained simply.
Hearing this, Su Zi was a little startled and subconsciously said, "I have three red moles under my feet."
At this, Gong Suo Xin froze.
Ling Xian froze as well. Then, his face turned ecstatic, "Really?"
"Yes, I've had moles since I was a kid."
Su Zi nodded and stuck her left foot out of the blanket. It was as smooth as jade and flawless. At the center of her foot, the three moles added some beauty and made people want to hold it in their hands.
"She really does have three moles!"
Ling Xian's eyes brightened and he relaxed.
Based on what the elder said, the person he was looking for had two characteristics. One was that she was a good-looking girl. Two, she had three red moles on her left foot.
Su Zi matched both of these characteristics.
Therefore, Ling Xian was certain that Su Zi was the person the tower was looking for.
Originally, he thought he would have to break his promise to the tower. He didn't think there would be a turn of events. This made him exclaim over the miraculous nature of fate. The person he was looking for had always been by his side.
"I wear out my iron shoes while searching for her, but I find her by chance." Gong Suo Xin exclaimed and smiled, "This is great. Everyone is happy."
"Ling Xian, why are you looking for me?" Su Zi was confused.
"I'm not sure."
Ling Xian shook his head, "I was asked by the Tower of Immortality."
Then, he began to think about the reason why the tower was looking for someone.
If the person with the red moles had nothing to do with him, then he only needed to bring that person back. But the person he was looking for was Su Zi. Then he had to reconsider.
If Su Zi's intentions were bad, then he would not hand her over to the tower.
"The Tower of Immortality?" Su Zi frowned and was confused.
"Could it be one of those cliche scenes in dramas? That Su Zi is actually the long-lost daughter of the tower?" Gong Suo Xin said with a smile.
"That seems possible."
Ling Xian frowned and shifted his gaze to Su Zi, "I remember that the Village Leader is not your grandfather. He picked you up."
"That's right. I am not his granddaughter." Su Zi's brows were tightly locked together. Thinking about the family she has never met, she couldn't help but to laugh.
"There is a barrier between the Immortality Realm and the Taoism community. It is not easy to enter or leave. There can't be such a coincidence."
"No matter what, come with me to the Tower of Immortality."
Ling Xian grinned, "I will find out why the Tower of Immortality is looking for you. If they are trying to harm you, I will not hand you over."
"Okay."
Su Zi nodded softly. She trusted him very much. She relied on him.
Though so many years have passed and she has changed a lot, before Ling Xian, she naturally reverted back to the little girl from back then.
Ling Xian believed this without a doubt.
If this was before, he wouldn't have the confidence to say this. Because the Tower of Immortality was extremely powerful. But now, he was of the sixth level. In the entire Immortality Realm, he was one of the strongest.
Therefore, he had absolute confidence that he could protect Su Zi!
"Get ready. In 10 days, we will leave." Ling Xian had a smile on his lips. His eyes shone with anticipation.
However, what he didn't expect was that just as he was about to leave for the Immortality Realm, something shocking happened between the two realms.
