After the incident at the ancient secret realm, a rift developed between Meng Zhe and Yu Miao.

However, the two had promised to become a couple after the ancient secret realm ended.

Meng Zhe was orphaned at a young age. Because of his superior lightning spiritual root, he was taken in as a disciple by his master Yu Zhengming. He worked hard and never dared to slack off for a day, which is why he became the senior brother respected by everyone in Lingyun Sect.

Even so, Meng Zhe was still not satisfied.

He wanted power, authority, and the ability to control the life and death of others.

He loathed his second junior brother, Jiang Zui, who was clearly incapable of cultivation, yet had a doting father who found him a spirit-nurturing jade, enabling him to cultivate.

If you want something, just act cute towards Jiang Huai and you'll get it.

But what about him?

They didn't even have the right to speak.

This is not fair.

He was angry and resentful.

Therefore, he wanted to take everything that belonged to Jiang Zui.

The first target was Yu Miao.

He knew that Jiang Zui liked Yu Miao, so he intentionally or unintentionally expressed his love in front of her.

It was very easy to snatch it from Jiang Zui's side.

The second target is the Jianghuai region.

It was he who conspired with Yu Zhengming to kill Jianghuai Design.

In fact, the initial candidate for the position of sect leader of Lingyun Sect was Jiang Huai, whose cultivation level was even higher than Yu Zhengming's. However, at that time, Jiang Huai only wanted to be with Xia Wei forever and did not care about the position of sect leader at all.

In the end, Yu Zhengming benefited.

The third target was the Spirit Nourishing Jade in Jiang Zui's possession.

He caused Jiang Zui to lose his beloved and be separated from his family forever, and this final step was to torture him to death.

The Spirit-Nourishing Jade is the key to Jiang Zui's cultivation. Without it, he would be unable to cultivate and would become an ordinary person.

To turn a cultivator into a mortal is an immense suffering.

Unfortunately, Jiang Zuining would rather die than hand over the Spirit-Nourishing Jade.

Since that day, Meng Zhe felt that something that belonged to him had disappeared.

This time was no exception; the ancient inheritance should have been passed down to him.

Meng Zhe's attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and he lost more than he gained.

Last time, because I wanted to seize Jiang Zui's Spirit Nourishing Jade, I encountered some difficulties in my cultivation.

He also failed to obtain the inheritance as Yu Zhengming had hoped, which caused his status in the Lingyun Sect to decline somewhat.

He absolutely had to marry Yu Miao.

Therefore, Meng Zhe repeatedly begged Yu Miao for forgiveness.

Meng Zhe came to Yu Miao's door. When Yu Miao saw that it was Meng Zhe, she turned around and was about to close the door.

Meng Zhe reacted quickly and squeezed inside.

Yu Miao looked at Meng Zhe coldly and asked, "What brings you here, Senior Brother?"

"Miaomiao, don't treat me like this." Meng Zhe's heartbroken expression made Yu Miao frown.

"I know I was wrong about the secret realm incident. I spoke without thinking and said the wrong thing. But I really like you, which is why I was jealous of Jiang Zui."

After saying that, Meng Zhe lowered his head, looking like a little dog that had fallen into the water, pitiful and helpless.

Yu Miao's heart suddenly stopped; he softened.

After all, this was the person he had loved for so many years, and he couldn't bear to see her so humble and subservient.

Seeing that Yu Miao remained silent, Meng Zhe continued, "Miao Miao, you may not have noticed this yourself."

Ever since my second junior brother died, you've been constantly talking about him and often comparing me to him.

You have no idea how much my heart ached. Watching you postpone our wedding ceremony for the sake of my second junior brother, I wished I were dead for a moment.

Meng Zhe attributed all his mistakes to jealousy.

Looking at the sadness on Meng Zhe's face, Yu Miao thought to herself: Could it be... that he really did something wrong?

He shouldn't have been caught in the middle between his senior brother and his second senior brother.

He shouldn't have mentioned his relationship with Jiang Zui in front of his senior brother.

It's him!

It's all his fault!

At that moment, Yu Miao's guilt reached its peak.

Yu Miao quickly hugged Meng Zhe tightly and apologized, "Senior Brother, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I don't like Second Senior Brother."

My second senior brother had taken good care of me when he was alive, and I couldn't bear to do that, but I never expected it would cause a misunderstanding between us.

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother, I swear, I, Yu Miao, will only ever love you in this lifetime."

Meng Zhe patted Yu Miao's hair. "I believe in Miao Miao."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Miaomiao, let's become partners."

I want to stand with you openly and honestly.

Yu Miao raised her head, her eyes reflecting glistening tears, and nodded hurriedly, saying, "Yes, let's become partners. I'll go tell my father tomorrow."

When Meng Zhe saw that Yu Miao had agreed to become partners, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly relaxed. He looked at Yu Miao in his arms with great interest.

Yu Miao has a fair complexion, is innocent and cute, and comes from a good family, which perfectly matches Meng Zhe's standards for a Daoist partner.

Meng Zhe lowered his head slightly and gently kissed Yu Miao's forehead, saying with love in his eyes, "Miao Miao, you are so beautiful."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Miao's face flushed red, and she said shyly, "Senior Brother~"

The next moment, Meng Zhe picked her up and carried her to the bed.

This is not the first time the two have been together.

In fact, Meng Zhe had already made his move as soon as he noticed that Jiang Zui liked Yu Miao.

-

"Cousin, the Lingyun Sect has sent an invitation," Xia Yuan said to Jiang Zui.

Jiang Zui found many elixirs that could prolong life in the ancient secret realm and gave them to Xia Yuan and Xia Ming.

Xia Yuan and Xia Ming were very grateful and treated Jiang Zui even better.

"An invitation?" Jiang Zui frowned and asked.

Xia Yuan explained, "Meng Zhe, the eldest disciple of Lingyun Sect, and the sect leader's son will soon be getting married and have invited Da Xia to attend their marriage ceremony."

Jiang Zui lowered his head and muttered, "The marriage ceremony?" It's a good place to cause trouble.

"Host, how can you be so mean? People say it's better to tear down ten temples than to ruin one marriage." The system teased, sensing Jiang Zui's true thoughts.

Jiang Zui scoffed. "Don't you think this is a great opportunity to slap them in the face? Besides... if I do the same, your mission progress will be faster. Don't you want that?"

"Ahem, everything is up to the host. This system unconditionally supports the host." The system fawned like a lackey.

Jiang Zui: "Cousin, I'm going to the marriage ceremony this time too."

"Hmm... Hmm? Cousin, aren't you afraid you'll be recognized after you go?"

Jiang Zuixin said: It's more interesting if you recognize it.

Xia Yuan sighed and said, "Cousin, you and Qiyin...don't you plan to hold a marriage ceremony?"

He...and...Ah Yin...had a wedding ceremony?

He really hadn't thought about it.

He and Ji Qiyin are already married, and whether or not there are witnesses, it cannot change their relationship.

but...

He still didn't know if Ji Qiyin wanted it...

If Ji Qiyin also wants this form, he is willing to provide it.

"Cousin, let me ask A-Yin about this," Jiang Zui replied.

"It's good that you know what's important. Although you and Qiyin are cultivators and don't care about these formalities, she is still single and has followed you at a young age. Remember to treat her well and don't make her sad."

Xia Yuan gave Jiang Zui a deep look.

He feared that Jiang Zui, having obtained the inheritance of the gods, would abandon his wife and children like those heartless and ungrateful men in the mortal world.

Jiang Zui's lips twitched, and he thought to himself: Cousin, is this the kind of person you think I am?

Still so young? If you knew that Ji Qiyin was countless years older than him, would you still say such a thing?

Jiang Zui said helplessly, "Cousin, don't worry, my feelings for A Yin are as clear as day and night, I can't live without him in this life."
