"But you're actually allowed to marry and have children here?"
Jiang Nuan asked curiously. She had thought people in places like this had to spend their entire lives alone.
"Of course. The Heaven and Earth Gate isn't a Buddhist monastery, though we're practically one anyway."
The more he spoke of it, the more it became a handful of bitter tears. Just look at his eldest senior brother, Chen Wei. At his age, he still didn't even have a partner. Anyone else would have grandchildren by now.
The Heaven and Earth Gate placed great importance on fate when accepting disciples, which had resulted in an age gap of several decades between Chen Wei and Chen Mo.
Moreover, the Heaven and Earth Gate never required its disciples to sever their seven emotions and six desires. They only had to bring their partner back to pay respects to the founding master once they found one.
That was what had led to the disciple's misunderstanding just now.
When he heard that wasn't the case, the disciple had even seemed a little disappointed.
"Wait, so you were saying both of them have Mysterious Fate, senior brother? You're not doing the same thing as our youngest junior brother, are you?"
Only then did the disciple recall what Chen Mo had said earlier. Something seemed off, so he hurriedly asked.
Chen Mo's face darkened at once. Suppressing the urge to flick him on the forehead again, he spoke quietly but through distinctly gritted teeth:
"Can't you look for yourself?"
"Oh, right! Holy crap! They really both have Mysterious Fate! Did I misread them like our youngest junior brother?"
After taking a look, the disciple began doubting himself.
"Even if you misread them, I wouldn't! Enough, hurry up and let us in. I still need to see Master!"
