Chapter 2 — My Destiny Is Seventh Brother

I secretly glanced at Tiet Mac, he was twirling a blade of grass in his hand. The blade of grass rotated on his finger, drawing beautiful curves. The text jumped up again: 【He is showing his true power! Look at his hand!】 I focused and looked carefully, discovering that the rotating trajectory of the blade of grass seemed to be forming a rune. The runes flashed and disappeared, but made me feel a shock in my heart. Grand Master Brother sighed softly: "It seems little junior sister is a bit worried about me." He took a step forward, his shirt fluttering, a scent spreading gently from his body.

"I swear with my heart that if I have little junior sister as a couple, I will definitely not disappoint you."

As soon as the words came out, the whole hall immediately stirred. The Demon Heart oath is a serious oath in the world of true cultivation. If violated, cultivation will encounter insurmountable obstacles. The nuns looked at me with eyes full of jealousy. The text flashed crazily again: 【He's lying! He has a way to avoid the evil heart!】 I bit my lower lip, not knowing who to believe. Tiet Mac suddenly stopped spinning the grass and gently flicked it. The blade of grass flew towards the corner of the main hall, soundlessly stuck into the stone pillar. I opened my eyes wide. That stone pillar was made from mysterious metal, even the monks who built the foundation found it difficult to leave any traces. The text appeared: 【Do you believe it now?】 Grand Master Brother seemed to also pay attention to this scene, frowning.

“Junior Brother Tiet, doing that in the main hall is not appropriate.”

Tiet Mac shrugged: "It was a mistake." His voice was hoarse and lazy, but it made my ears burn. Master suddenly spoke: "To Li, have you decided yet?" Everyone's eyes turned to me. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. The image of Grand Master Brother's gentle smile appeared in his mind, but immediately turned into a terrifying outcome like in the text. An image of Tiet Mac appeared disheveled, but his eyes were as bright as stars.

“I…”

I slowly opened my eyes, my finger firmly pointing towards——

“I choose Senior Brother Tiet Mac.”

As soon as the words came out, the whole hall was silent. Grand Master Brother's smile froze on his face. The blade of grass in Tiet Mac's mouth fell to the ground. Master's eyes flashed in surprise, then became happy.

“Okay, okay.” People nodded in succession, "Tiet Mac, step up here."

Tiet Mac slowly stood up straight, patting his dusty clothes. When he walked in front of me, I felt a scent like sunlight shining through the grass. Master Brother suddenly spoke up: "Master, Junior Brother Tiet's cultivation level is still low, I'm afraid..."

“Diep Yet,” Master interrupted him, “This is To Li's choice.”

Grand Master Brother bit his lips tightly, his eyes showing coldness. Tiet Mac lazily bowed: "The disciple will definitely not disappoint the master's expectations, and will teach little junior sister well." When he said the word "teach", the emphasis on the last syllable made my ears turn red. Master nodded with satisfaction: "The dual cultivation ceremony will take place in three days, you guys should get to know each other." Grand Master Brother suddenly turned around and left, his shirt fluttering, bringing with him a cold breeze. Several nuns looked at each other, then took turns coming forward to congratulate.

“Young junior sister really has sharp eyes,” the second senior sister said in a low voice, “Junior brother Tiet is very handsome.”

The third senior sister covered her mouth and smiled softly: "Yes, even more beautiful than Grand Master Brother." I secretly glanced at Tiet Mac and discovered he was there looked at me with a half smile.

“Little junior sister,” he whispered, “Why did you choose me?”

I opened my mouth, not knowing how to answer. Could it be because he saw the mysterious text? The words appeared at the right time: 【Tell him, you have seen his true nature】 I mustered up the courage: "Because... I have seen your true nature." Tiet Mac frowned, then relaxed, smiling lazily:

“That's interesting.” He smiled lightly, "Let's go then, little junior sister."

He held out his hand, palm facing up. I hesitated for a moment, then placed my hand in his. His palm was warm and dry. When he gently held my hand, I felt a warm stream of energy flowing into my body.

“This is…”

“Meeting gift.” He winked, "Helps you open your meridians."

I just realized that the spiritual energy in my body, which was blocked, is now circulating easily. The text happily danced: 【See! I told you he was powerful!】 Tiet Mac pulled me out of the main hall, behind me were the whispers of the sisters.

"Junior Tiet took the initiative to hold his daughter's hand?"

“Oh my god, the sun has already risen in the West!”

Outside the main hall, the sunlight shines on us. Tiet Mac suddenly stopped walking and turned to look at me.

“Little junior sister,” he said seriously, “You will not regret it.”

The sunlight shines on his face, and I realize how perfect his features are under his messy appearance.

Tiet Mac led us through some remote roads, the more we walked, the quieter they became.

“Seventh Brother, where are we going?” I couldn't help but ask.

“Come to me.” He didn't turn his head, "It's not as beautiful as Grand Master Brother's courtyard, little junior sister, don't criticize."

His voice was relaxed, but I heard a bit of self-mockery in it. The text appeared: 【He is testing you, to see if you are a person who values material things or not】 I hastily said: "I don't care if the place is luxurious or not." Tiet Mac stopped walking, looked back at me, a smile flashed in his eyes.

“Interesting.”

Going a little further, we arrived at a remote monastery. The garden is not big, the wall is old, the corner of the garden is covered with vines. Tiet Mac pushed the door open, the inside was so simple that it surprised me. A wooden table, two bamboo chairs, a meditation cushion. In the corner of the wall are a few wine bottles, and on the table are scattered a few old books.

“So, disappointed?” Tiet Mac leaned against the door frame, his tone was gentle.

I shook my head and walked inside. Surprisingly, even though this place is simple, it is very clean. Sunlight shines through the window, leaving sparkling streaks of light on the ground.

“It's... very quiet here.” We consider using words.

Tiet Mac smiled softly and closed the door.

“Quiet is good,” he said with profound meaning, “Suitable for hiding strength.”

My heart suddenly beat fast, I turned back to look at him. He conveniently removed the hair tie, his long black hair like a waterfall. I hold my breath. No longer held back by the hair tie, his hair was smooth and shiny, no longer looking messy? Tiet Mac went to the water basin and scooped water to wash his face. When he looked up, tears rolled down his cheeks, I was stunned. The face was washed, the lines were clear, the eyebrows were sharp as swords, the eyes were bright as stars, the bridge of the nose was straight, the lips were clear. Compared to Grand Master Brother, he is three times more handsome! Inscription jumped up happily: 【Did I lie to you?】 Tiet Mac used a towel to wipe his face, looking at me still standing there dumbfounded.

“What, don't you recognize senior brother?”

My face suddenly became hot and I quickly turned away.

“You… why do you have to pretend like that?”

Tiet Mac walked to the table and poured two cups of tea.

“Sit down.” He gestured to me, "It's a long story."

I obediently sat down, holding a cup of tea in both hands. The tea is warm, giving off a gentle fragrance.

“Three years ago, I successfully built a foundation.” Tiet Mac began to tell, "That night, I had a dream."

His eyes were distant, as if transcending space and time.

“In my dream, someone told me I had to wait for someone who could see through my cover.”

I suddenly shivered and asked: "What happens after that?"

“After that I started pretending to be trash.” He suddenly smiled brightly, returning to his usual lazy look, "Every day he dresses sloppily, is lazy, and his cultivation also pretends to be in the period of refining."
