Two Sects' Marriage Alliance

Elder Chun felt surprised. Who was Xiao Han? After she came out of seclusion, as the only Spirit Transformation elder guarding the sect, all the True Disciples and inner disciples of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect had met her. However, in her memory, no one had the character "Han" in their name.

Yu Zhiwen found Elder Chun's reaction a bit strange, but a sliver of hope surfaced in her heart.

Yu Zhiwen had originally thought that given her brother's excellence, he would be an outstanding figure in the Xuanyuan Sword Sect. But judging by Elder Chun's reaction, it seemed her Xiao Han had not obtained inner disciple status within the Xuanyuan Sword Sect.

This meant he wouldn't receive special attention from the Xuanyuan Sword Sect's higher-ups.

In that case, perhaps only that old woman in the Xuanyuan Sword Sect had her eye on her Xiao Han. If she truly had a chance to secretly abduct Xiao Han, with her identity as a Saintess of the Qingyou Dao Sect and the imminent alliance between the two sects, the higher-ups of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, apart from that old woman, shouldn't have any objections.

Yu Zhiwen gave Elder Chun a slight smile, her tone no longer as cold as before, the corners of her lips curving upward.

"His name is Pei Yuhan. He is a junior's... in the mortal realm."

"Fiancé."

Pei Yuhan?

Elder Chun frowned upon hearing the unfamiliar name. She felt it was somewhat familiar, yet she couldn't recall where she had heard it.

"Little Yu, may I ask if this man named Pei Yuhan is a disciple of our Xuanyuan Sword Sect?"

"Yes. This junior and Xiao Han were separated for over thirty years. I thought Xiao Han had met an untimely end in a calamity in the mortal realm..."

A gleam flashed in Yu Zhiwen's purple star-like eyes, her tone carrying a hint of excitement and happiness.

"Fortunately, after I broke through to Nascent Soul, I sensed my own karma and destiny, which is how I found Xiao Han."

Unlike Yu Zhiwen's relieved reaction, Elder Chun's heart sank to the bottom upon seeing the young girl's lovestruck demeanor.

She clearly hadn't heard of this Pei Yuhan. He must be an outer disciple of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, usually those who couldn't form a Core. After cultivating in the sect for a period, they would be dispatched to various markets to be stationed.

Elder Chun did not want her junior to be paired with a cultivator with no future. His lifespan of less than two hundred years was destined to leave a crack in Yu Zhiwen's Dao heart, hindering her future cultivation.

"Little Yu..."

Elder Chun finished her tea, her tone as calm as possible. Although Yue Hua had instructed her about this matter through divine sense, Elder Chun still harbored thoughts of breaking up the couple.

"Regarding Pei Yuhan, you haven't seen him in thirty years. Do you know of his experiences?"

Yu Zhiwen shook her head. Elder Chun breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed things weren't yet beyond saving.

"Little Yu, you made a marriage engagement with him in the mortal realm, but you both gained immortal destinies. The mortal world of the cultivation world is dazzling, and even if you hold onto your original intention, can you guarantee he remains unchanged?"

Elder Chun kindly reminded Yu Zhiwen, as she herself had encountered many unfortunate relationships in her youth.

"He won't. This junior trusts Xiao Han. Xiao Han is not that kind of person."

Yu Zhiwen shook her head, refuting the statement. Her tone remained very calm, and her beautiful eyes seemed to hold the happiness of a couple in love.

Elder Chun looked at the girl's happy face and ultimately couldn't bring herself to speak of what Yue Hua had entrusted to her through divine sense. Yu Zhiwen, however, noticed something and inquired.

"Elder Chun, how did you know the purpose of my visit to the Xuanyuan Sword Sect?"

"It was your master who told me. You silly girl, do you really think your master knows nothing?"

Yu Zhiwen pondered it. It was possible. After she advanced to the Nascent Soul True Monarch stage, she could increasingly feel the unfathomable depth of every Spirit Transformation cultivator. Moreover, her divination skills were passed down from her master. It wasn't strange for her master to predict her purpose.

"Then Elder Chun, does Master have any other instructions for you?"

In Yu Zhiwen's opinion, since her master was willing to specially entrust this senior through divine sense, she likely had other intentions.

Elder Chun opened her mouth but said nothing.

"No."

However, this was not the case. In her divine sense, Elder Chun found her dear friend's decision rather excessive. How could she unilaterally arrange a marriage engagement for the two of them based on a mortal romance?

And she even called it a way to further the alliance between the two sects?

Elder Chun had originally planned to inquire about the other party's identity. If she knew him and he was a suitable match, she might help Yu Zhiwen achieve her unrequited love.

But she didn't know this Pei Yuhan at all. He looked like an outer disciple, and she didn't know what his character was like after thirty years. How could she have made such a ridiculous decision?

"Alright, Little Yu. This old woman has heard that the Xuanyuan Sword Sect and the Qingyou Dao Sect will have a Dao discussion tomorrow. You should also go back and prepare."

Elder Chun ultimately did not tell Yu Zhiwen about Yue Hua's absurd decision, fearing that Yu Zhiwen might impulsively drag Pei Yuhan into the bridal chamber tonight. After all, a Nascent Soul True Monarch could easily handle an outer disciple with just a beckoning of their finger.

Yu Zhiwen took her leave. She had initially wanted to inquire about the background of that old woman, but decided against it. She needed to hurry back and investigate her brother's situation in the Xuanyuan Sword Sect.

Now that she knew Pei Yuhan's identity, Yu Zhiwen was no longer anxious. Previously, Yu Zhiwen had sensed that her brother was not a true Core Formation cultivator, but a Gray Core cultivator.

But that was enough. Her brother was several years younger than her. To have formed a Gray Core at this age was merely due to bad luck. She even had the chance to help her brother with Core Transformation and Re-cultivation...

At this thought, the image of that old woman who seduced her brother, with her smug expression, flashed in Yu Zhiwen's mind. She wished she could personally strangle this old vixen.

She claimed to love her brother, yet she was unwilling to help him with Core Transformation.

In Yu Zhiwen's eyes, Rao Yuexi was just an older single woman, merely using her brother as a living toy to satisfy her own needs!

However, Yu Zhiwen also sensed an opportunity. Even though Xiao Han had forgotten her, if she could help Xiao Han with Core Transformation and Re-cultivation, and even support him to become a Nascent Soul cultivator, becoming the first couple in the cultivation world to rekindle their mortal romance and both attain Nascent Soul stage – a divine couple...

The Eastern Domain and even the entire cultivation world would sing praises of their story, the tale of their arduous journey and their eventual union as lovers destined to be together...

At this thought, a strange blush appeared on Yu Zhiwen's cool, clear face beneath her black veil.

However, what Yu Zhiwen didn't know was that Pei Yuhan was currently being dragged to Dan Jian Peak by Rao Yuexi once again, under the pretense of "having sustained hidden injuries," for a "full-body examination"...

"Junior Nephew Pei, quickly let Uncle-Master examine if you're injured~"

"Uncle-Master, didn't you say you sustained hidden injuries?"

"Oh dear, what is Uncle-Master's injury compared to Junior Nephew Pei's importance? That madwoman's Nascent Soul pressure was completely unrestrained just now. Junior Nephew must have sustained hidden injuries. Quickly take off your clothes so Uncle-Master can examine you~"
