Chapter 5 — My Destiny Is Seventh Brother

As soon as he entered the formation, all four directions immediately lit up with a soft light. Tiet Mac formed a seal and muttered a spell. Spiritual energy radiated from his body and gradually increased. Golden Dan middle stage... late stage... Nguyen Anh stage! I opened my eyes wide, unable to believe what I saw. Tiet Mac is truly a great person in the Nguyen Anh period! This can be considered top in the world of true cultivation! The light gradually receded, Tiet Mac opened his eyes, his eyes were like spinning stars.

“This is me.” His voice rang out, becoming more escapist.

I opened my mouth, but didn't know what to say. The text suddenly appeared: 【Don't be afraid, he won't harm you】 Tiet Mac regained his spiritual energy and returned to his Golden Dan stage form.

“Are you scared?”

I shook my head and asked curiously: "Why are you hiding your strength?" He pulled me to sit on the stone bed, his face serious.

“Three years ago, master calculated that I would encounter a great disaster.”

“The great tribulation?”

“Yes,” he nodded, “Only by finding the person of destiny can we resolve it.”

"So you're always waiting..."

“Yes,” he looked at me, “Until you appeared.”

My heart beats fast: "So what is that great tribulation?" Tiet Mac shook his head: "Master didn't make it clear, just gave me this heart-protecting jade." I unconsciously touched the jade pendant on my chest.

“It will protect you.” Tiet Mac gently said, "I will also guide you to find me."

I was shocked: "Lead?" Could those mysterious lines... Tiet Mac seemed to realize my doubts, but didn't ask anything further.

“Time is running out, let's go back.”

Back at the monastery, the sun had set. Tiet Mac built a fire in the yard and grilled two fish. The yellow fish's shell is fragrant and fragrant.

“Try it.” He gave me a fish.

I took a bite, it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the taste was indescribably delicious.

"It's delicious! You cook really well."

Tiet Mac smiled: "It's due to practicing survival outdoors." The firelight illuminated his face, creating perfect lines. I looked dumbfounded.

“What's wrong?” He raised his eyebrows.

“You… are so beautiful.” I blurted out.

Tiet Mac was stunned for a moment then burst out laughing. The laughter echoed loudly, causing the birds in the forest to fly away.

“Little sister, you are also very beautiful.” His eyes were filled with tenderness, "Especially when wearing the dress I gave you."

My face turned red again, I lowered my head to concentrate on eating fish. Night falls, the sky is full of stars. Tiet Mac suddenly took out a bottle of wine.

“Peach blossom wine, try it?”

I take a sip, the sweetness blends with a little spicy, the aftertaste is long.

“So delicious!”

“Don't drink too much,” he reminded, “This wine is strong.”

After a few sips, I feel a bit dizzy. Tiet Mac helped me into the house and helped me take off my coat.

“Go to sleep.” He adjusted the blanket for me, "I will watch over you."

Under the influence of alcohol, we feel more confident.

"Let's sleep together..." I grabbed his sleeve.

Tiet Mac slightly stopped breathing, then smiled softly: "Little junior sister, you're drunk."

“I'm not drunk…” I mumbled, but my eyes were heavy.

In a dream, I felt someone gently kiss my forehead.

“Good night, my destined one.”

On the day before the double cultivation ceremony, the atmosphere in the sect suddenly became strange. Early in the morning, when I went to get breakfast at the restaurant, the chatter suddenly stopped when I entered. A few nuns looked at me with strange eyes, then bowed their heads and whispered loudly.

“Heard about Seven Masters You used evil magic to bewitch little junior sister..."

"Master Brother saw with his own eyes, the formation in his courtyard was very strange..."

My hand holding the bowl of porridge was shaking a bit.

“Little junior sister.”

The Third Sister suddenly blocked my way, her expression complicated.

“Did you really… voluntarily choose the Seven Brothers?”

I raised my head and looked straight into her eyes: "Of course, I'm very alert." She was about to say something but stopped, finally sighed and walked away. When returning to the small courtyard, Tiet Mac was arranging the medicinal materials. Seeing my expression, he frowned: "What's wrong?" I told him the rumors. Tiet Mac laughed coldly: "Diep Yet's tricks." He put down the medicinal herbs and gently held my hand.

“Don't worry, they're just clowns.”

His hands were warm and dry, making me feel much more secure.

“But…” I bit my lip, “Everyone says…”

“To Li,” he looked straight into my eyes, “Do you believe me?”

I nodded without hesitation.

“That's enough.” He smiled, "Today I will take you somewhere."

Tiet Mac led us away from the main road and followed a small path behind the mountain. The deeper you go, the denser the trees become.

“Where are you going?” I asked softly.

“My secret cultivation place.” He turned around and winked at me.

Passing through an area of vines, a vast scene appears before our eyes. A jade green lake, next to a small house made of bamboo.

“This is…”

“Linh Tuyen Lake,” Tiet Mac explained, “Under the lake there are spiritual veins, cultivating here is twice as effective.”

The small house is simple but fully equipped. What stands out are the magical weapons hanging on the wall, each of which radiates a powerful spiritual energy.

“These…”

“Over the years I have collected.” Tiet Mac said lightly, "In case something is needed."

I looked curiously at a small silver sword.

“Do you like it?” Tiet Mac took it down and gave it to me.

The blade is cold when held but feels familiar.

“This is the Cold Star Sword, very suitable for women.”

I tried swinging the sword a bit, the blade grazed the air, emitting a clear echo.

“Give it to me?”

“Of course.” He smiled, "Whatever is mine is also yours."

Tiet Mac took out a jade box.

“And this.”

In the box is a pair of transparent jade bracelets.

“Twin Tam Trac,” he explained, “You and I each wear one, in times of danger we can sense each other.”

He put one on me, the bracelet automatically adjusted to fit.

“So beautiful.” I caress the smooth jade.

Tiet Mac put on the other one, then held my hand. The two bracelets touched each other, emitting a soft light. A warm stream flowed into my body from the point of contact, making me surprised to realize that I could feel Tiet Mac's emotions. Quiet but a bit fun.

“This is…”

“The first step of understanding.” He said softly.

That afternoon, Tiet Mac taught me basic sword moves. The Han Tinh Sword in my hand feels like it was made just for me, every movement feels very natural.

“Not bad talent.” Tiet Mac praised and nodded.

Practicing until sunset, I was sweating profusely. Tiet Mac gave me a handkerchief: "Rest for a while." We sat on a rock by the lake, watching the sunset reflect on the lake surface.

“Tomorrow is It's a great ceremony." I'm a bit worried.

Tiet Mac hugged my shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm here." His breath passed through my ear, making my heart beat faster.

“Master Brother can…”

“Yen cannot create big waves.” Tiet Mac replied with a firm voice.

Suddenly, he turned serious and pulled me behind him.

“Who is it?”

A figure stepped out from the bushes, it was the Fifth Brother.

“Seven Senior Brothers, Little Senior Sisters.” He bowed awkwardly, "Master told me to come find you two."

Tiet Mac still did not let down his guard: "What's going on?"

“Preparing for the grand ceremony, I need Little Sister to try on my clothes.”

I looked at Tiet Mac, he nodded slightly.

“I will go with her.”

The Five Brothers quickly waved their hands: "No need, no need, the sisters are already waiting, men are inconvenient to be present." Tiet Mac squinted his eyes, Ngu Su Huynh sweated.

“Go away.” Finally, Tiet Mac let go of my hand, "Let's go home quickly."

Follow the Five Brothers to leave Linh Tuyen Lake, but the road becomes increasingly remote.

“Five Brothers, where are you going?”

“Shortcut, just a shortcut.” He laughed a few times.

I tightened my grip on the Cold Tinh Sword, my vigilance rising. The text suddenly appeared: 【Be careful! He won't take you to try on clothes!] I suddenly stopped: "I have to go back to find Tiet Mac." Fifth Senior Brother's face changed: "You have no right to decide!" He waved his hand and a talisman flew out, causing me to faint immediately. When I woke up, I discovered I was in a strange stone room.

“Are you awake?”

Diep Yet's voice rang out from the darkness. The candle lit up, he sat opposite, holding a dagger in his hand.

“Grand Master Brother? Where is this?

“My own house.” He smiled, "Don't worry, I just invited you to come play."

I tried using spiritual energy but found that the blood vessels were clogged.

“Don't waste your effort.” Diep Yet sneered, "The effect of Lock Linh Tan will last twelve hours."

He stood up and slowly walked towards me.

“Little Sister, I give you one last chance.”

“What chance?”

“Leave Tiet Mac, choose me.” His eyes flashed with enthusiasm, "I will not consider the past."

I looked straight into his eyes: "No way."
