Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 141 Let her come back with me

Zhou Qing said, "Since Aunt Qingyuan is already involved, letting her know more information will help her have a clearer understanding of her situation."

Master Aoki shook his head and sighed, "If things in this world were so simple, that would be great. Sometimes people need ignorance to give them some hope for the future so they can move forward happily."

"I'm only telling you this today. If you feel it's necessary to tell Qingyuan the truth later, then you should tell her yourself."

Hearing him say that, Zhou Qing suddenly felt a bit heavy-hearted and didn't want to persuade him any further. Instead, she turned to Qing Yuan and said, "Master, why don't you go back first?"

Qingyuan glared at him angrily, deeply dissatisfied with his betrayal. However, seeing that neither of them wanted her around, she could only sullenly go down the mountain alone. As she walked, she thought to herself, what is it that Father wants to keep from her? Tomorrow, she must pester Zhou Qing to tell her.

When Qingyuan's figure disappeared at the end of the mountain road.

Master Qingmu withdrew his gaze and said, "Qingyuan's soul is incomplete."

Zhou Qing was startled and asked, "What do you mean?"

Master Qingmu said, "Qingyuan's mother is a female cultivator from the Illusionary Love Sect."

"The cultivation methods of the Illusionary Love Sect nourish them with emotions. They are all passionate people who eagerly crave the rich emotions of this world. However, the cultivation methods also require them to treat these emotions with a cold heart."

"Once they can no longer maintain the proper balance between emotion and ruthlessness, their cultivation will completely dissipate."

"Qingyuan's mother was a female cultivator who had lost her cultivation. We met when we were traveling and quickly became Daoist partners. We agreed to be each other's tribulations, and when the tribulations were over, we would each return to our sects and never contact each other again."

"But in the end, we didn't make it. She came back to the Longevity Sect with me and later gave birth to Qingyuan."

"Due to the backlash from the Illusionary Love Sect's techniques, Qingyuan has been susceptible to emotional fluctuations since birth. The strong emotional fluctuations of others always cause her joy and sorrow."

“This is a huge flaw for spiritual practice. In order to keep her in a peaceful state of mind, I can only prevent her from interacting with others from a young age.”

"By interacting less with others, she is less likely to be influenced by their emotions, and thus her Daoist resolve can be maintained."

"But I can't keep her by my side forever."

"So I have been planning to find a suitable husband for her. This husband should be a person with a firm Dao heart. Other people's emotions cannot shake his Dao heart, and his own emotions will also be firmly suppressed by his Dao heart."

"Only by being with people like this can Qingyuan live a peaceful life."

"But I haven't found such a person all these years. Unless it's a senior Golden Core cultivator who has been tempered by time, how easy is it to find someone with such a stable Dao heart among young people?"

"I had already given up hope, but when I went to Qingyun Sect last time, I heard your Master Mu mention someone like you when he talked about his disciples. I immediately took notice of you."

"You should understand that I am actually looking for someone who can take care of Qingyuan for me, so unless you marry her, there is no other way to help me."

Zhou Qing said, "Senior, please forgive my bluntness, but we cultivators are not necessarily required to get married."

"Given Qingyuan's current state of Dao heart, it will be difficult for her to make any breakthroughs in her cultivation level in the future."

"Her lifespan is unlikely to exceed that of her predecessor. Her predecessor can take care of her himself and keep her by his side as before. Why is it necessary to find her a husband?"

Master Qingmu said, "I am not shirking my responsibility as a father, but I have more important responsibilities to bear. I am still the sect leader of the Longevity Sect, and also the only Golden Core cultivator in the sect at present."

"Qingyuan's fate has become my obsession. This obsession binds me tightly, making it difficult for me to make any further progress on the path of immortality."

"I and your Master Mu are cultivators of the same generation. When we first met in the martial world, we admired each other's talent and ambition. But now he is at the peak of the Golden Core stage, while I am only at the third level of the Golden Core stage."

"I have wasted too many years."

"Last time I went to Qingyun Sect and discussed the Dao with Master Mu, he was able to easily grasp my obsession and shake my Dao heart. With my Dao heart fluctuating, I would be a little slow when fighting, and my strength would be greatly reduced."

“Our Changsheng Sect is different from your Qingyun Sect. You have three Golden Core cultivators and a guardian spirit beast at the peak of the Golden Core stage, while the Changsheng Sect only has me as the Golden Core cultivator in this generation.”

"If I continue to waste time, I will be failing my responsibility as the leader of the sect."

"Therefore, the matter of Qingyuan has reached a critical juncture where it must be resolved."

Zhou Qing frowned as he pondered Qingmu Zhenren's words. He had said a lot, but he had buried his truest intentions deep within them, requiring others to analyze them.

Zhou Qing pondered for a long time before suddenly realizing with a start that Master Qingmu wanted to sever his father-daughter relationship and, as the sect leader, take on the responsibility of the sect.

Before severing ties with his family, he anxiously sought to find someone with a steadfast Daoist heart to take care of his daughter.

Seeing Zhou Qing's expression, Master Qingmu knew that he understood his intentions and said, "Just now in the forbidden area, you showed great interest in the secret technique of bringing back the dead trees that Qingyuan mentioned. If you agree to my conditions, everything about the Qingyun Sect shop will be easy to discuss, and I can also give you that secret technique."

Zhou Qing hesitated on the snow for a while before finally making up his mind and saying, "When I leave, let Qingyuan come with me."

Aoki Jin's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he said, "You agreed?"

Zhou Qing said, "To take care of her, you don't necessarily need to get married. Just let her come back with me, and I will take care of her and make sure she lives out the rest of her life safely and peacefully."

Master Aoki said happily, "I'm relieved to have your promise. I've seen a lot of people and I'm confident in my ability to judge them."

"You just need to choose a time to go back. I will have someone take care of the Qingyun Sect shops. The previous troubles will never happen again. As for the secret technique you want, I will give it to you when you leave."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, senior. However, I have already found a proper solution for the shop matter. Senior, you might as well listen to my opinion."

"Oh?"

Master Aoki laughed and said, "Tell me."

Zhou Qing said, "The conflict between our two companies is just that we compete with each other for similar products. However, the market does not only need the same products. As long as we can avoid competing with each other, we can each occupy a part of the market and coexist, instead of it being a life-or-death struggle."

Aoki Masato became interested and said, "Then how can we avoid competition?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "As long as it's like the situation between our two families before, just with the positions reversed."
