Chapter 298: Xin Lings Dao Heart! Young Emperor!
Two figures slowly descended from the sky.
Sikong Lanyue was still enveloped in clouds and mist, making it difficult to see the figure inside.
The man beside her, however, attracted everyone’s attention.
Dressed in white, his figure was tall and straight, his handsome face carrying a hint of laziness and unruliness.
“Duke Su?” Everyone was stunned.
When did Su Shi arrive?
Xin Ling’s face turned slightly red as she looked at the man she had been yearning for, and her heartbeat began to accelerate.
“Su Shi…”
Since she joined the Tianji Pavilion, they hadn’t seen each other, and her longing for him was about to overflow.
Su Shi landed on the ground, his gaze crossing over the crowd and coincidentally meeting hers.
The two locked eyes. Su Shi raised the corner of his mouth, forming a charming arc.
He slowly opened his arms.
Xin Ling froze.
What does this mean?
Does he want to hug me?
With so many people watching, the elders and the patriarch are here, it’s too embarrassing!
But facing Su Shi’s deep gaze, her heartbeat intensified.
After a moment of hesitation, she bit her lip and took a step forward.
Just then, a gust of wind swept by her side. Xin Ling looked up and was instantly struck.
She saw Zhan Qingchen’s clothes fluttering, like a white butterfly, lightly flying into Su Shi’s embrace. The two embraced tightly in front of everyone’s eyes. The air suddenly fell silent.
Sikong Lanyue’s face didn’t look very natural, but she didn’t say anything. The Elders and disciples glanced at each other, silently ignoring the scene.
Su Shi and Zhan Qingchen’s relationship was no longer a secret within the sect. Everyone tacitly accepted this relationship. Although the Chief violated the sect’s rules, the person she was dating was Su Shi!
If the Patriarch didn’t say anything, others naturally wouldn’t have any objections.
However, seeing the intimacy between the two still made them somewhat uncomfortable. Xin Ling’s mouth opened slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
“Su Shi, Senior Sister?” She stood still as if she were a statue. At this moment, she finally understood why Zhan Qingchen had been so passionate towards her.
So this is the kind of relationship they have?!
“But Senior Sister has a reputation for hating men, not to mention the sect’s ancestral teachings of avoiding romantic relationships and focusing on the Dao. Why are they…?”
Looking at the nonchalant expressions of the people around her, it was obvious that their relationship was no longer a secret. It seemed that she was the only one in the sect who didn’t know!
Su Shi looked down at the girl in his arms and chuckled, “Are you embarrassed? So many people are watching. Zhan Qingchen held onto his strong waist, her face blushing.
“I don’t care. Everyone knows, so what if they see?” She looked up, gazing at Su Shi affectionately.
“How did you come?” Fei Shi said seriously, “I sensed that someone was thinking of me, so I hurried over.”
Zhan Qingchen pouted, “I’ve been thinking of you for so long, why did you only sense it now?”
Except for the visit to the Tianji Pavilion before the New Year’s Festival, Su Shi hadn’t seen her.
“Ahem, I had some things to take care of,” Su Shi awkwardly cleared his throat.
“And…” Zhan Qingchen whispered, “Did you intentionally send your childhood sweetheart to the Tianji Pavilion to irritate me?”
Su Shi was momentarily taken aback, “You mean Xin Ling?”
“Who else could it be… ”
“Qingchen, that’s enough. We still need to test Xin Ling’s Dao Heart.” At this moment, Sikong Lanyue spoke up.
Zhan Qingchen blushed and left Su Shi’s embrace.
She gave him a secret glance and mouthed, “We’ll settle this later!”
Su Shi: “…”
A few people arrived in front of the cliff.
Su Shi looked at Xin Ling and nodded, “Miss Xin, long time no see.”
“Long time no see… Duke Su.”
Xin Ling’s eyes were filled with complexity.
Su Shi was actually dating Senior Sister Zhan?
Although she knew he had many close female friends, she didn’t expect that even Zhan Qingchen… Not to mention, how should she interact with Senior Sister in the future?
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward for a moment.
“Xin Ling, are you ready?” Sikong Lanyue asked.
Xin Ling snapped back to reality and nodded, “I’m ready.”
Sikong Lanyue said, “The Wendao can communicate with the Great Dao, decipher the Dao Heart, and present resonances with the essence of the Dao. At the same time, it can enhance your understanding of the Dao. You don’t need to have any burden, just calm your mind and place your palm on the cliff.”
“Understood.” Xin Ling took a deep breath, trying to clear her mind of distractions, and gently placed her hand on the cliff.
The air trembled slightly, and a faint sound seemed to echo in her ears.
Only to see ripples surface on the cliff as if it were water, with dazzling rays of light blooming.
“The Dao Heart has responded!”
“I knew it! The Patriarch’s judgment is never wrong.”
“The Patriarch chose her as a direct disciple, so naturally her Dao Heart surpasses ordinary people. I wonder what her imagery will be?”
The crowd whispered among themselves. Even Sikong Lanyue showed a hint of anticipation.
As the cliff fluctuated, a scroll of painting revealed itself.
The mountain peak was covered in glistening white snow, and the flowing droplets froze into ice. The entire world was frozen, as if it were the end of the world, devoid of any signs of life.
Sikong Lanyue furrowed her brows.
At that moment, she saw something and her pupils suddenly contracted. As the painting approached closer, she only saw a young boy standing atop the mountain, clad in white clothes whiter than snow.
The exposed skin on his body displayed complex and obscure mysterious characters.
His eyes emitted a light purple color, and behind him, the galaxy sparkled, exuding a majestic and oppressive aura. With the first step taken by the young boy, boom!
In an instant, the white snow melted, the glaciers shattered, and the land regained its vitality!
Silence filled the scene.
The elders’ mouths hung open, as if their jaws were about to hit the ground.
That young boy, bearing the divine characters and backed by the galaxy… wasn’t that Su Shi?!
The Dao Heart imagery that Xin Ling desired was actually Su Shi?
“The Young Emperor!”
“This imagery is the legendary Young Emperor!”
A cry of astonishment rang out among the crowd. A stone stirred a thousand layers of waves, and the silent air was instantly shattered.
The elders’ faces were filled with shock and sweat.
The Wendao Cliff reflected the true Dao Heart.
Not everyone was a river or lake; there were also birds, beasts, flowers, birds, fish, and insects. There were even people whose Dao Heart was a wine jug or a tree.
But rarely would a “true person” appear.
The people who can be regarded as the image of Dao Hearts, without exception, are all supreme emperors!
Doesn’t the image of Xin Ling predict to some extent that Su Shi will become supreme emperor in the future?
Even Sikong Lanyue was a bit dazed. It was her first time seeing such a Dao Heart.
Zhan Qingchen snapped back to reality and bit her lip, saying, “Su Shi, what did you do to Xin Ling? Her Dao Heart is even an image of you?”
Su Shi: “….”
