Chapter 426: Ye Beixuan: The Fate of Junior Sister Feng Has Completely Changed
At dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun bathed the earth in a golden hue.
The Miscellaneous Path Academy was exceptionally lively.
As Ye Beixuan and others returned to the Academy of Inquiry, Bing Yan also brought her disciples back, while Xiao Chen and his group were the last to arrive at the Miscellaneous Path Academy, just in time for the successful establishment of the Saint-Grade Spiritual Vein.
To celebrate, Chu Feng specially held a grand banquet, allowing everyone to rejoice together.
During the banquet, every disciple shared their experiences from this journey.
Xiao Chen and Chu Caiyi distributed gifts to everyone one by one.
The atmosphere was filled with clinking glasses, laughter, and endless merriment.
As the banquet neared its end, Chu Feng spoke, "This time, in hunting the Child of Destiny, everyone's cultivation will see significant improvement. To prevent your Dao hearts from becoming unstable, I will lecture on the scriptures once every seven days for a total of forty-nine days."
Hearing this, the disciples' faces lit up with ecstatic joy, and they respectfully said, "Thank you, Master."
The next day, Chu Feng rose early, which was rare, and went to the back mountain to lecture on the scriptures for the disciples. By the time he arrived, all the disciples of the Miscellaneous Path Academy were already waiting.
Even the two Great Sages, Jiaoyang and Yishan, were eager to join.
Seeing everyone gathered, Chu Feng began, "This time, I will lecture on the complete text of the Dao De Jing."
At these words, all the disciples present grew excited. Though some had been fortunate enough to receive a portion of the Dao De Jing, none had ever obtained the full text. Now, their Master was about to teach them the entire scripture.
Seeing the excitement on everyone's faces, Chu Feng smiled and said, "The Dao De Jing is profoundly mysterious. I will lecture for only one hour each time. If you have any questions, you may seek me privately."
"Thank you, Master."
The disciples responded in unison.
"The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the origin of heaven and earth; the named is the mother of all things."
Chu Feng's voice echoed through the back mountain, each word he uttered imbued with the Dao Truth of the Great Path.
The disciples listened, utterly entranced.
The four Great Sages present, with their deeper insights into the Great Path, gained more than the other disciples, followed by Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian.
The remaining disciples could only glean insights from fragments of the teachings.
Days passed one by one.
The forty-nine days of lecturing soon concluded.
After listening to Chu Feng's teachings, the four Great Sages immediately entered seclusion.
Though Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian gained some insights, they did not enter seclusion right away but instead focused on quiet cultivation.
One morning, several days later, while Chu Feng was still in a dream, a familiar voice rang out.
"You guided Great Sage Yishan, helping him comprehend two points of Dao Truth, rewarding the host with twenty points of Dao Truth."
"You guided Bing Yan, helping her comprehend three points of Dao Truth, rewarding the host with thirty points of Dao Truth."
"You guided Great Sage Golden Wings, helping him comprehend four points of Dao Truth, rewarding the host with forty points of Dao Truth."
"You guided Great Sage Jiaoyang, helping her comprehend five points of Dao Truth, rewarding the host with fifty points of Dao Truth."
Upon receiving this series of messages, Chu Feng awoke abruptly from his dream, a slight smile curling his lips.
He thought to himself: It seems this Child of Destiny was truly remarkable, bringing abundant gains to the entire Miao Miao Mountains, making my seven early mornings worthwhile, with sainthood not far off.
He stretched his neck and then walked into the courtyard, casually brewing a pot of tea for himself.
Phew…
After drinking a cup of tea, Chu Feng thought: That feels good.
Now he awaited the arrival of others to share good news, and indeed, within moments, four figures landed in the courtyard.
They all bowed to Chu Feng, saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother/Big Brother/Husband, for your guidance."
Chu Feng smiled and said, "No need for thanks. Your breakthroughs aren't just my doing; those Children of Destiny must have brought you considerable benefits as well."
Great Sage Golden Wings laughed and said, "If Big Brother hadn't taken us to watch the show, we wouldn't have easily obtained those treasures."
Chu Feng replied, "Alright, let's set that aside. Let's drink tea and chat about your insights."
"Very well."
The four then gathered around the tea table to chat leisurely.
…
The days on Miao Miao Mountains were peaceful.
Every disciple was diligently cultivating, intending to transform all the gains from this experience into their own cultivation.
One day, a messenger immortal crane descended from the sky, landing in the courtyard where Ye Beixuan resided.
Seeing this messenger immortal crane, Feng Qiongyu's expression subtly changed.
This change did not escape Ye Beixuan's notice, and with a slight smile, he asked, "What's wrong, Junior Sister Feng?"
"A letter from home has arrived."
Feng Qiongyu's expression was extremely uneasy.
"Read it."
Hearing this, memories from Ye Beixuan's past life began to surface.
In his past life at this time, Junior Sister Feng, like himself, was merely an ordinary inner disciple striving to become a true disciple, with no rumors about the Feng family.
But Ye Beixuan quickly dismissed these thoughts. This life was vastly different from his past one, and Junior Sister Feng was now a cultivator at the Spirit Nurturing Realm—surely there could be no trouble.
After opening the letter and reading it, Feng Qiongyu's expression grew even more serious.
She slowly raised her head, her lips pursed, looking at Ye Beixuan with a guilty expression: "Senior… Senior Brother, something unusual has happened at my family."
"What is it?"
Ye Beixuan gently patted Feng Qiongyu's head with his hand: "Tell me. If the trouble is significant, I can ask Master to intervene."
Feng Qiongyu quickly shook her head: "No, it's just that the elders in my family discovered my breakthrough to the Spirit Nurturing Realm and have selected a group of suitors for me. They want me to return to witness a martial competition to choose a suitable husband."
Ye Beixuan was momentarily stunned—nothing like this had happened in his past life. It seemed Junior Sister Feng's fate had completely changed, and the regretful event from his past life would not recur.
With a slight smile, he asked, "Which prodigies has your family elder chosen for you?"
Seeing the teasing smile on Ye Beixuan's face, Feng Qiongyu's previously troubled expression turned to mild anger. She lightly punched Ye Beixuan's chest with her small fists: "Senior Brother, you're so annoying, making fun of me."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
Ye Beixuan laughed and said, "Since your Feng family is holding a martial competition to select a prodigy as your future husband, I can just openly participate, can't I?"
Feng Qiongyu paused, then nodded: "Oh yes, how could I have forgotten that?"
Ye Beixuan said, "Alright, then let's pack up. We'll bid farewell to Master tomorrow."
"Alright, I'll go pack now."
The gloom in Feng Qiongyu's heart vanished. She believed Senior Brother Ye would surely suppress all prodigies at the martial competition.
Her earlier worry had only been about fearing Ye Beixuan's anger.
Watching Feng Qiongyu's retreating figure, Ye Beixuan thought to himself: Qiongyu, in this life, I will absolutely not let you suffer any harm…
