Heavenly Curtain Exposed, Temporarily Halted? Undercurrents Surge!

Great Bamboo Peak, the back mountain.

Inside a simple bamboo hut.

Ye Changfeng witnessed the Heavenly Curtain's evaluation of Lu Xueqi, and wasn't overly surprised in his heart...

Because.

He was well aware of Lu Xueqi's talent.

In the Original Work.

Lu Xueqi, without any assistance from fortuitous encounters, could break through to the Upper Clarity realm within a mere ten years—this fact alone was enough to prove her talent.

If she had the aid of the Heavenly Tome?

Lu Xueqi's cultivation speed would only be faster!

Her talent was truly second only to Ancestor Qingye!

Even Lin Jingyu couldn't compare to her.

Ye Changfeng lifted his head to look at the Heavenly Curtain.

He wondered with some curiosity: "I just don't know which future year the timeline exposed by the Heavenly Curtain belongs to."

Admittedly.

This Heavenly Curtain was quite considerate of others' privacy.

It wouldn't directly reveal a person's true face; even its evaluations were somewhat veiled, never displaying someone's entire life outright.

It would only show a few fragments.

Then make some subtle yet straightforward judgments.

"Never mind."

"I'll know in the future."

Ye Changfeng gave a slight shrug.

He didn't actually put much stock in things from the future.

After all, Now that he knew the future, He could naturally use this knowledge to make some changes.

Of course.

He wouldn't deliberately do anything to ruin his character.

He'd just let everything take its course.

For instance...

If Lu Xueqi was destined to be his future wife, Then she was his future wife.

On that point, Not even the King of Heaven himself could change it.

"Boom—"

The evaluation within the Heavenly Curtain slowly faded.

The original subtitles gradually disappeared, and the images within grew indistinct at this moment.

Seeing this.

The people of the world couldn't help but freeze.

Why stop the exposure? Was it over just like that?

No way?

Under the gaze of thousands!

Suddenly, a few more subtitles surged forth within the Heavenly Curtain!

[This exposure has ended!]

[The next round of exposure will begin in three months!]

Looking at the information on the Heavenly Curtain, The people of the world suddenly understood—so it was only a temporary pause...

Heaven-Reaching Peak, Before Yuqing Hall.

True Lord Daoxuan's gaze flickered faintly.

As the Heavenly Curtain's exposure temporarily ceased, his eyes looked beyond Qingyun Mountain, as if witnessing the undercurrents surging across the entire Vast Divine Continent.

"All fellow junior brothers and sisters."

"Whether the information exposed in this Heavenly Curtain is true or false, we must be prepared!"

True Lord Daoxuan said in a measured tone.

As soon as these words were spoken.

The various Heads were momentarily taken aback.

"Sect Leader Brother."

"You mean..."

Tian Buyi's expression darkened.

True Lord Daoxuan nodded lightly and said:

"The information exposed in this Heavenly Curtain will surely make those in the Demonic Path wary. We must prepare in advance, or else..."

"I fear the Demonic Cult Fiends will act rashly like cornered dogs!"

True Lord Daoxuan felt some relief that the Heavenly Curtain had not revealed the identity of the next Sect Leader of Qingyun Sect.

Otherwise.

Once the Demonic Path learned 'his' true identity.

They would likely send an endless stream of assassins to kill him.

Hearing this.

The faces of the various Heads darkened.

They all realized the gravity of the situation.

"Junior Brother Cangsong."

True Lord Daoxuan turned to look at a middle-aged Daoist beside him and said thoughtfully: "In the near future, deploy more personnel, strengthen Qingyun Sect's defenses, and eliminate all potential threats as much as possible."

"Yes."

"Sect Leader Brother."

Cangsong Daoist's gaze flickered slightly.

No one knew what was going through his mind.

"Alright."

"All fellow junior brothers and sisters, return for now."

"Remember what I, Poor Daoist, have instructed you..."

True Lord Daoxuan waved his hand.

"Yes, Sect Leader Brother."

The various Heads bowed slightly, then turned and left.

They knew in their hearts.

After today.

The entire Qingyun Sect would likely make major moves.

No!

It wasn't just Qingyun Sect that would make major moves!

The entire Righteous and Demonic Paths, even the Vast Divine Continent, would see great upheaval descend...

Of course.

No matter what great upheaval befell the world?

It had nothing to do with Qingyun Sect for now!

Their current main task was still—first, to find the 'future Sect Leader of Qingyun Sect'!

Only once 'he' was found?

Would Qingyun Sect's future be stabilized...

Little Bamboo Peak, Moon Gazing Platform.

The Cold and Aloof Girl stared blankly up at the sky.

She watched the gradually blurring Heavenly Curtain, recalling the Heavenly Curtain's assessment of her in her heart. Far from being surprised, she grew more and more curious...

The Heavenly Curtain held her in high regard.

She could see that for herself.

But, the Heavenly Curtain held 'him' in even higher regard.

And 'he' was her future husband.

Thus, Lu Xueqi's curiosity about 'him' outweighed everything else.

She desperately wanted to know what kind of person her future husband truly was, or rather...

who he actually was.

"Xueqi."

Just then, a gentle voice came from not far behind.

Lu Xueqi turned her head slightly.

She saw a tender woman approaching.

Her features were elegant, warm as jade, like an elder sister, with a soft temperament.

"Senior Sister."

Lu Xueqi called softly.

"Hmm." Wen Min smiled as she looked over the cold and aloof girl before her, teasing, "Let me take a good look—what does our future Qingyun Sect Leader's Wife look like!?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Xueqi's pretty face flushed red instantly.

She knew it.

With the Heavenly Curtain exposing her future, she was bound to be teased by her senior sisters...

"Senior Sister!"

Lu Xueqi shot Wen Min a slightly petulant glance.

No matter how cold and aloof her nature, she couldn't help feeling shy now.

"Alright, alright."

Wen Min shook her head with a smile, saying, "Xueqi is now a big name across all of Shenzhou."

She added one last tease, then said, "Master has returned and asked me to call you over. She probably wants to ask you about something."

"Okay."

Lu Xueqi paused briefly.

She had a rough idea of what Master wanted to ask.

Aside from 'him,'

what else was worth inquiring about?

Walking down the mountain path, Wen Min smiled and asked, "Xueqi."

"Tell me honestly."

"When did you get to know Senior Brother Xiao Yicai?"

Hearing this, Lu Xueqi couldn't help furrowing her brow.

She turned back to look at Wen Min and said seriously, "Senior Sister, that person in the Heavenly Curtain is not Senior Brother Xiao Yicai!"

Her words were exceptionally certain.

She clearly didn't know Xiao Yicai, nor had she ever met him, but...

she hit the nail on the head.

"Huh?"

Wen Min's eyes went wide.

Not Xiao Yicai?

Then who could it be...

"Actually."

Lu Xueqi pressed her lips together slightly. "I don't know who 'he' really is either."

She had been on Little Bamboo Peak all these years.

She had hardly ever seen any outsiders.

How could she possibly know 'him' in the Heavenly Curtain?

Wen Min seemed lost in thought.

She pondered for a moment, then said, "Maybe it's because you haven't met him yet, Xueqi. After all, the timeline exposed in the Heavenly Curtain might be from some unknown point in the future. Perhaps..."

"You'll only get to know him a few years from now?"

Hearing this.

Lu Xueqi nodded thoughtfully.

There really wasn't any other possibility now.

"No, wait..."

Wen Min suddenly caught on. She looked at Lu Xueqi suspiciously and asked, "You don't know who 'he' really is, but how can you be so sure 'he' isn't Senior Brother Xiao Yicai?"

Hearing this.

Lu Xueqi didn't catch the teasing tone in Wen Min's voice.

She thought for a moment, then said vaguely:

"Just a feeling."

"A feeling?"

Wen Min's expression turned odd.

She teased, "I'd say it's more like a telepathic connection between husband and wife."

"Senior Sister!"

Lu Xueqi blushed crimson at the teasing.

The two walked hand in hand along the mountain path.

They arrived at the Quiet Bamboo Pavilion halfway up Little Bamboo Peak.

"Master."

Lu Xueqi and Wen Min composed themselves and bowed outside the door.

"Come in."

A cool voice sounded from within.

They entered the Quiet Bamboo Pavilion.

A graceful figure in a moon-white Daoist robe stood before them—her posture elegant, tall and slender, with brows and eyes like a painting, her bearing extraordinary.

It was none other than Lu Xueqi's esteemed master—Shui Yue'er!

"Master."

Lu Xueqi bowed again.

"Hmm."

Shui Yue'er nodded slightly.

She glanced at Wen Min and said softly, "Min'er, you may withdraw first."

"Yes, Master."

Wen Min bowed respectfully.

Then.

She shot Lu Xueqi a smiling glance, as if to say, "Xueqi, may fortune be with you."

Lu Xueqi pressed her lips together.

She had thought her master would ask about 'him.'

But to her surprise.

Shui Yue'er did not ask.

She clearly knew her disciple well.

Lu Xueqi had spent all these years on Little Bamboo Peak without leaving, and had never met any outsiders. There was no way she could know 'him' in the Heavenly Curtain.

Or rather...

She hadn't met him yet.

"Xueqi."

Shui Yue'er said softly, "Come with me to Heaven-Reaching Peak. Your Sect Leader Uncle-Master has something he wishes to ask you."

"Yes, Master."

Lu Xueqi nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing that her master never asked, she finally couldn't help but speak up herself: "Master, I..."

"I don't know him."

The Cold and Aloof Girl's voice was barely audible.

After all, that 'him' was her future husband.

At this moment.

Bringing it up in front of her master.

Lu Xueqi naturally felt a bit shy.

"Silly child."

Shui Yue'er smiled and shook her head.

She reached out and gently patted Lu Xueqi's head, saying, "Do you think I wouldn't know whether you know him or not?"

Lu Xueqi lightly bit her lip.

Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she said, "Master, although I don't know who 'he' is, I know he is definitely not Senior Brother Xiao Yicai!"

Lu Xueqi spoke these words with unusual seriousness.

"Hmm."

Shui Yue'er nodded slightly.

"I already know about this matter."

"He..."

"Really isn't Xiao Yicai."

Master and disciple flew away from Little Bamboo Peak on their swords.

For a time.

The Divine Continent was also gradually stirring with undercurrents at this moment.

The various factions of the Demonic Sect secretly gathered.

The Four Great Sect Masters silently convened a meeting concerning the 'life or death' of the Holy Sect.
