Chapter 499: Go Meet Your Future Husband

“Young Lady Tushan?”

Looking at the woman walking down the street, Liu Shui froze completely in place, and her footsteps stopped of their own accord.

At that moment, Young Lady Tushan was following beside another woman.

She wore a Daoist robe, her waist slender as a willow switch, as if it would snap with a light grip.

The tassels of her silk sash hung at her side, swaying faintly with her breathing.

The front of the Daoist robe was slightly open, revealing the moon-white inner garment beneath. The robe was loose and wide, yet it could not hide the grace of her figure. The cloth over her chest was lifted into a full, rounded curve.

Her eyes were incomparably clear, like water in a mountain cavern, flowing silently. Her nose was fine and straight, her lips a natural pale red without the slightest touch of rouge. The line of her jaw was soft and smooth; seen from the side, it was like a shallow crescent moon.

Although Liu Shui had not seen Tushan Jingci for three years, the woman before her was simply too similar to her, almost as if she had been carved from the same mold.

The only difference was her hair color.

The woman before her had a fall of natural black hair, dark as ink. It was not pinned up with a hairpin, only loosely gathered behind her head and tied with a ribbon of the same color.

The ends of her hair hung down to her waist, swaying gently with her movements. A few unruly wisps clung [N O V E L I G H T] to her cheeks, making that face look all the more fair as jade.

But in Liu Shui’s memory, Young Lady Tushan had a head of snow-white hair, as if formed from gathered drifts of pure white snow, cool and noble.

But what if... she really is Young Lady Tushan? Liu Shui thought inwardly. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the idea was not impossible.

She could not help taking one step forward, wanting to call out and greet the other party, to confirm it for herself.

However—

In the space of a blink, a clear breeze swept past, and the two women disappeared before Liu Shui’s eyes.

People and carriages flowed back and forth along the street, bustling as ever, as though that moment just now had merely been an illusion of hers, and those two had never appeared at all.

......

The City Lord’s Residence of Spring Tea City.

When that woman entered the main hall with her disciple, the sect masters attending the victory banquet in Spring Tea City all stood one after another and cupped their fists to her, their expressions respectful.

“Greetings, Daoist Yunxi.”

“There is no need for such courtesy. Please, sit.”

Daoist Yunxi returned the greeting politely, her voice gentle and calm.

“This way, Daoist.”

Xu Donghui, the sect master of the Moonview Sect, who sat at the head, made an inviting gesture and solicitously led Daoist Yunxi toward the seat of honor.

After Daoist Yunxi and her disciple took their seats, many gazes fell toward them at the same time.

Among the younger generation, most of those gazes landed on the disciple beside Daoist Yunxi.

And this young woman, named Gui Junmeng, seemed not to hear those gazes directed at her at all. She only sat properly beside her master, her expression calm and composed, her eyes looking straight ahead.

“We have received word that apart from our Spring Tea City, the Human Alliance’s other four armies have also successfully taken their cities. Now, the Human Alliance’s situation can be called excellent!”

Xu Donghui raised his wine cup high, looked around at everyone, and said in a clear voice,

“I toast you all!”

“Please!”

Everyone raised their cups one after another.

The rogue cultivator Wang Feiyu wiped his mouth, his face full of excitement, his voice rising several degrees.

“Not only is everything progressing smoothly on the Human Alliance’s side, but now those demon sects and kingdoms are also breaking into internal strife! After the second war between humans and demons, all the demon sects and kingdoms are killing one another now. Every one of them wants to become overlord of the demon-race world and reshape the new order. For us humans, this is absolutely a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity!”

“Hahaha, now that you mention it, I heard the Tushan clan has already taken the lead in forming an alliance called the Myriad Demon Alliance, and it is fighting the other demon kingdoms to the death!”

“Good! Let them bite each other like dogs. Better if they smash one another’s heads open!”

“Exactly! Now we humans are united, while the demon race is trapped in endless infighting. Now is the time for us humans to rise again!”

Everyone spoke over one another, growing more and more excited as they talked.

As for the impassioned speeches at the banquet, Daoist Yunxi made no comment. She only sat quietly with a faint smile, as if all of it had nothing to do with her.

An hour later, after the wine had made several rounds, Daoist Yunxi felt it was no longer early. She rose and gently took leave of all the fellow cultivators present.

Xu Donghui personally stood and escorted her all the way outside the city.

“Daoist Yunxi.”

Xu Donghui slowed his steps. His expression turned somewhat more serious, and in his eyes, there faintly flashed a desire for the position of leader of the Human Alliance.

“Four months from now, all of the Human Alliance’s sect masters and cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm and above will gather together. I have heard that Lei Peng and the others have proposed appointing a leader of the Human Alliance. I expect quite a few people have their eyes on that position. I wonder, Daoist, whether you have a candidate in mind?”

He knew very well that Daoist Yunxi herself would not compete for the position of alliance leader.

But whoever could gain Daoist Yunxi’s support would undoubtedly have a far greater chance of victory.

Yet Daoist Yunxi only shook her head lightly, her tone peaceful.

“So long as everyone can work together for the future of humans, it does not truly matter much who becomes alliance leader. As for the Human Alliance assembly four months from now, I will not attend. Whomever all of you choose will be the one.”

“Ah? You will not attend?”

Xu Donghui’s face showed surprise when he heard this.

“Yes.”

Daoist Yunxi nodded.

“I am taking my disciple somewhere, to meet an important person. I ask Sect Master Xu for understanding.”

“I see...”

Although Xu Donghui was curious about whom Daoist Yunxi intended to meet, seeing that she had no intention of saying more, he could not ask further. He only nodded.

“Sect Master Xu may see us off this far. The two of us, master and disciple, will take our leave first.”

Daoist Yunxi stopped walking, turned, and bowed to Xu Donghui.

“Travel safely, Daoist.”

Xu Donghui hurriedly returned the courtesy.

Daoist Yunxi nodded lightly. Then, with a sweep of the horsetail whisk in her hand, a clear breeze rose out of nowhere. By the time Xu Donghui raised his head and looked again, the two of them were already beyond the clouds, leaving only a faint trace of cloud on the horizon.

“Master, who are we going to meet?”

Following beside her master, Gui Junmeng turned her head curiously. Her clear eyes looked at Daoist Yunxi as she asked softly.

“Do you still remember that marriage contract?”

Daoist Yunxi turned her head to look at her disciple, the corners of her lips lifting in a meaningful smile.

“Of course I remember.”

Hearing this, Gui Junmeng’s cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice unconsciously softened.

How could she not remember?

When she was six years old, her master had told her—

A childhood betrothal had been arranged for her.

“We...”

Daoist Yunxi reached out and gently stroked her disciple’s long hair, her gaze warm and affectionate.

“Are going to meet your future husband.”
