Chapter 13 — My Destiny Is Seventh Brother

When Tiet Mac returned, I immediately told him about these two things. After hearing what I said about the jade slip, Tiet Mac's face became gloomy.

"This jade slip is a record that I investigated before," he examined the fragment, "After that all traces were broken, I had no choice but to put it away."

“So what about that dark shadow?”

Tiet Mac shook his head: "Thanh Thien Cung has restrictions, outsiders cannot sneak in."

“Unless…” I suddenly thought of something, “Is it someone from the palace?”

Tiet Mac's face was serious: "Tomorrow I will strengthen the ban, you should not act on your own for the time being." That night, I dreamed of the fairy Huyen Am again. This time, she led me to a crystal palace.

“This is my memory palace,” she explained, “Where all sealed memories are kept.”

In the middle of the palace, a large crystal gem floats, locked by chains.

“This is…”

“The most important memory,” Huyen Am gently touched the chain, “About the truth of my death.”

The chains did not move, she showed a pained expression.

“It still can't be opened,” she said breathlessly, “Your cultivation level is not enough.”

I raised my hand to help, but was pushed away by a force.

“Don't be in a hurry,” Huyen Am comforted, “When the time comes, it will naturally open up.”

The dream suddenly became distorted, her face changed quickly!

"Someone is disturbing my consciousness! Quickly wake up—"

I sat up suddenly, cold sweat soaking my nightgown. Outside the window, a dark shadow passed quickly.

“Stop!” I didn't have time to put on my shoes and rushed out.

Running to the back garden, the shadow disappeared without a trace. Under the moonlight, the leaves in the Tuong Tu tree rustled, as if warning of something.

“To Li?”

Tiet Mac called from behind, I turned around and rushed into his arms.

“Someone… someone is observing my dreams…”

Tiet Mac immediately formed a seal, a stream of golden light covered the entire Thanh Thien Palace.

"It's okay," he gently stroked my back, "I've increased the protection."

Back in the bedroom, Tiet Mac made me a cup of calming tea.

“Tomorrow I will take you to meet someone.”

“Who is it?”

“Venerable Medicine King,” he explained, “Huan Am's master, is also one of the few people who believes that she did not die naturally.”

I took a sip of tea and suddenly a question arose.

"Tiet Mac... When Huyen Am died, why didn't you directly find Master to avenge her?"

Tiet Mac stopped, a complicated light flashed in his eyes.

“Because I suspect… there are people in high levels of Thanh Thien Cung participating in it.”

This answer makes me shudder.

“You said… Master?”

"Not sure," Tiet Mac shook his head, "But after Huyen Am died, some people's attitudes were too... calm."

The next day, early in the morning, when we were preparing to depart, Thai Bach Tinh Quan suddenly came to visit.

“The Immortal Emperor has an order, requesting Brother Thanh Thien to immediately come to Linh Thien Palace for a meeting.”

Tiet Mac frowned: "I have important things to do." Thai Bach Tinh Quan lowered his voice: "It's related to Demon Immortal Venerable... He sent people to infiltrate Immortal Land." Tiet Mac glanced at me, then said: "To Li, come with me." Thai Bach Tinh Quan was a bit awkward: "This... the Immortal Emperor only summoned Senior Brother..."

“Then I won't go.” Tiet Mac Kien decided to say.

Finally, Thai Bach Tinh Quan compromised and agreed to let me follow, but he could only wait in Ta Dien and was not allowed to enter the palace. Outside Linh Thien Dien, Tiet Mac warned me: "No matter what happens, don't leave Ta Dien, I will return quickly." I nodded in agreement, my eyes following him into the palace. Ta Dien was elegantly decorated. After Tien Ty offered tea and breakfast, he respectfully retreated. I was bored looking at the paintings on the wall, when suddenly I heard someone whispering outside the window.

“… Is it you? Is it the reincarnation of the Phantom Yin Fairy?”

"Shh... Keep your voice down... I heard she's a fake..."

"How is that possible? Thanh Thien Su Brother found it himself..."

"Who knows, I heard she hasn't recovered her memories yet..."

I clenched my teacup tightly, my knuckles turning white. Counterfeit goods? What does it mean? Just as he was about to go out and ask for clarification, the Ta Dien door suddenly opened. A fairy wearing purple clothes walked in, her appearance was like a painting, but her eyes showed arrogance.

“Are you To Li?” She observed me from head to toe, her tone indifferent.

I stood up: "That's right, I didn't know the fairy was..."

“Mi Dieu Palace Master,” she called herself, “Huyen Am's old friend when he was alive.”

I breathed a sigh of relief: "So it's senior Mi Dieu..."

“Don't be in a hurry to get close,” she laughed coldly, “I don't remember Huyen Am reincarnating into you.”

I was stunned: "What do you mean?" Mi Dieu Palace Master circled around me: "The atmosphere is the same, but the way the gestures and words are very different. Huyen Am is so beautiful, how could it be someone like you, a woman from the lower world?" I tried to control my anger: "The Palace Master came today, is it just to insult me?"

“I came to expose your true face!” She suddenly took action, a beam of purple light rushed straight into my face!

I reflexively raised my hand to block, and the Illusory Yin source automatically activated in my body! Ice blue light and purple light collided, emitting a blinding light. The light dissipated, Mi Dieu Palace Master took a few steps back, his face panicked.

"Illusionary Ice Soul! You... you really..."

My chest rose up strongly, that attack had almost consumed all my spiritual energy.

"Mi Dieu! What are you doing?"

Tiet Mac sounded like thunder, he immediately appeared next to me, supporting me as I staggered. Mi Dieu Palace Master's face turned pale: "Brother Thanh Thien Sunh, I just want to test you..."

“Go away!” Tiet Mac roared, "Dare to come close to To Li, don't blame me for not being respectful!"

Mi Dieu Palace Master left in panic, Tiet Mac quickly treated me.

“Sorry, I should have left sooner.”

I weakly shook my head: "It's not your fault... What did she mean by 'counterfeit'?" Tiet Mac's face was gloomy: "Someone is spreading rumors, saying you are not the real reincarnation of Huyen Am."

“Why?”

"Maybe he wanted to hit me, or..." his eyes flashed coldly, "he wanted to hide the truth of the past."

Leaving Linh Thien Palace, Tiet Mac led me straight to Duoc Vuong Coc. Along the way, he told me the reason why the Emperor summoned us.

"Ma Immortal Venerable's spy was discovered, and before he died, he revealed some news."

“What news?”

“They came to Fairyland not only to find you… but also to meet someone.”

“Who is it?”

Tiet Mac's face was serious: "A traitor... The one who sold out Huyen Am in the past." Pharmacy Vuong Coc is located in the East of Tien Dia, in the cup there are strange flowers and herbs, and the faint smell of medicine. Venerable Medicine King is an old man with gray hair. When he met me, he was so excited that his hands shook.

“So similar… so similar…” he muttered, “Even the aura is completely similar…”

Tiet Mac simply explained his intention, and Venerable Medicine King immediately led us into the interior.

"After Huyen Am was murdered, I secretly investigated for many years," he took out a jade slip, "Found out that her whereabouts had been revealed."

The jade paper shows a scene: Huyen Am leaving the Immortal Land, heading towards Two Worlds Mountain.

"You shouldn't have acted alone," the Medicine King said sadly, "But someone forged my message, saying that a rare herb had appeared..."

Tiet Mac clenched his fist: "Who is it?"

“The traces point to Mi Dieu Cung,” Duoc Vuong said in a deep voice, “But it can't be confirmed.”

Mi Dieu Cung? Was it Mi Dieu Palace Master just now? My heart suddenly tightened: "She just tested me..." Venerable Medicine King suddenly grabbed my wrist: "Let me see your origin." He checked for a while, his expression changed: "That's not right... Your origin has been interfered with!"

“What's going on?” Tiet Mac held Elder Medicine King's hand.

Elder Medicine King replied with a serious expression: "In your origin there is a seed of a Demon Fairy!" Ghost Seeds? My whole body seemed to be frozen, this name sounded so scary. Tiet Mac's face immediately turned pale: "It's impossible... I have personally checked her origin..." Elder Duoc Vuong told me to sit down, took out seven golden needles and inserted them into acupuncture points around my body one by one.

“Please endure some pain.”

The gold needle was inserted into the body, a severe pain came! I clenched my teeth, cold sweat quickly soaked my back. Tiet Mac held my hand tightly, continuously pouring spiritual energy into me to help ease the pain. Elder Medicine King made a seal, and the golden needle gradually emitted red light.

“Look!”
