Chapter 6 — My Destiny Is Seventh Brother

Diep Yet's expression immediately became gloomy.

“Do you think Tiet Mac can really protect you?” He smiled faintly, "He's just a..."

“Just what?”

Tiet Mac's voice suddenly rang out in the stone room. Diep Yet's face changed: "No way! It's forbidden here!" The stone wall suddenly exploded, and in the smoke and dust, Tiet Mac stood tall with his sword. His spiritual energy was completely released, the pressure of the Nguyen Anh period caused the stone room to shake.

"You... you are Nguyen Anh Ky..." Diep Yet's face turned pale and he kept backing away.

Tiet Mac didn't even look at him and walked straight in front of me.

“Are you okay?” He asked softly, his hand gently checking my pulse.

I shook my head: "It's just spiritual energy being blocked." Tiet Mac's eyes were cold and he turned back to look at Diep Yet.

“The antidote.”

Diep Yet tried to act calmly: "That Senior Brother, this is a misunderstanding..."

“The antidote.” Tiet Mac's voice was cold as ice.

Diep Yet gritted his teeth and threw back a small vase. Tiet Mac took it, checked it carefully, and then gave it to me to drink. Spiritual energy slowly recovered, I stood up, holding the Han Tinh Sword. Tiet Mac hugged my waist: "Let's go." When passing Diep Yet, Tiet Mac stopped.

“Next time if it happens again,” his voice was as light as air, “I don't mind letting the sect change to a new Grand Master.”

Back at Linh Tuyen Lake, my body trembled, still afraid. Tiet Mac made soothing tea and sat next to me.

“It was my negligence.”

I shook my head: "No, it's because I trust others too easily." Tiet Mac sighed softly: "Tomorrow after the ceremony, we will stay here."

“Is it possible?”

“Of course.” He smiled, "This place is much safer than the sect."

The moonlight shines through the window, leaving broken silhouettes on the ground.

“Tiet Mac.”

“Um?”

“Thank you for saving me.”

He smiled softly and patted my head.

“That's so stupid, there's no need to say thank you between us.”

I leaned on his shoulder, feeling his warmth and scent.

“Why is Diep Yet so stubborn?”

Tiet Mac was silent for a moment, then said: "Because he practices a practice that requires a nun with a special body to support him."

“Special body?”

“Well,” he nodded, “You are a rare body of Xuan Yin, you just don't know it.”

I opened my eyes wide: "I am the body of Xuan Yin?"

“Yes.” Tiet Mac explained, "So you can release my seal."

He gently lifted my face: "And because of that, you are my destiny." The bright moonlight shone into his eyes, making his eyes shine like stars. I can't help but lean closer...

“Ack ack.”

A light cough rang out from the door. We quickly separated and turned to look. Master stood at the door, looking helpless.

“Young people are so impatient, they won't even be quiet the night before the big ceremony.”

On the day of the double cultivation ceremony, I wore the traditional red outfit of the Hop Hoan sect. The skirt of the dress is embroidered with a phoenix image in gold thread. When I walk, they sway brilliantly. Tiet Mac wore a black robe and a red silk belt at his waist, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off him.

“Are you worried?” He put the last brooch on for me.

I nodded, my palms were slightly sweaty.

“Don't be afraid,” he gently kissed my fingertips, “I'm here.”

The journey from Linh Tuyen Lake to the sect is not far, but it feels like we have traveled a long time. Hop Great Palace The festival was splendidly decorated and crowded with guests. When Tiet Mac and I walked in together, chatter immediately rang out.

"Is that Seventh Brother? Why does he look like someone else..."

“I heard he hid his cultivation…”

“Little junior sister is bewitched…”

I bit my lower lip, Tiet Mac held my hand, signaling not to pay attention. Master sat in the highest position. When he saw us coming, he immediately smiled with satisfaction.

“The auspicious hour has come, the great ceremony begins!”

The ceremony proceeded smoothly, until it came to the gift giving part.

“Wait!”

Diep Yet in white clothes walked out from the crowd of guests.

“What advice do you have, Grand Master?” Tiet Mac said in a calm voice.

Diep Yet glanced around, raised his voice loudly: "Tiet Mac lied to little junior sister, hid his identity, acting like that, how is he worthy of being a son-in-law of the Hop Hoan sect?" The entire main hall echoed with uproar. Master frowned: "Diep Yet, are you telling the truth?"

“Sure!” Diep Yet pointed at me, "Little sister doesn't know his true face at all!"

All eyes are on me. I took a deep breath and stood next to Tiet Mac.

“I know that the Seventh Senior Brother hides his cultivation level,” I said clearly, “So what?”

Diep Yet's face sank: "So do you know what purpose he approached you for?" My heart suddenly ached, I unconsciously glanced at Tiet Mac. He remained calm, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

“Diep Yet,” Tiet Mac opened his mouth, “You constantly provoke, do you really think I have that much patience?”

Diep Yet laughed coldly: "Why, right in front of your master, you still want to attack?" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly shot, a cold ray of light flashed past, aiming at Tiet Mac! Tiet Mac did not avoid it, just gently waved his hand.

“Bang!”

Diep Yet's attack exploded in midair, turning into sparkling stars. The pressure of Nguyen Anh period immediately covered the entire main hall! The guests' faces turned pale, and a few low-level disciples had to kneel down. Master jumped up: "Nguyen Anh period?!" Diep Yet took a few steps back, his face like dirt: "It's impossible... how can you be Nguyen Anh Ky..." Tiet Mac stood straight, his shirt fluttering in the wind, no one was seen blowing.

“Now, does anyone have any comments?”

The entire hall was silent. The master slowly sat back, his eyes shining: "Tiet Mac, when did you break through the Nguyen Anh period?"

“Three years ago.” Tiet Mac replied calmly.

A shock rang out. Three years ago? So doesn't he surpass his master? Diep Yet was unwilling, gritting his teeth: "Master! He hid his cultivation and secretly joined the sect, there must be a conspiracy!" Master was thoughtful, his eyes looking back and forth between me and Tiet Mac.

“To Li,” he suddenly asked, “Are you really willing to become a religious partner with Tiet Mac?”

I took a step forward and held Tiet Mac's hand.

“I am satisfied with my words.”

Master sighed: "If that's the case..."

“Wait a minute!”

Diep Yet suddenly pulled out a recording stone.

“Master, look!”

The stone showed a scene: Tiet Mac at Linh Tuyen Lake was performing a strange technique, the hand seals were unlike any other method of Hop Hoan Mon. Master's eyes widened: "This is... the secret of the upper world?!" The whole main hall shook! Upper world? It's the place in legends! Tiet Mac's eyes flashed with surprise, then returned to calm.

“Master's eyes are as bright as torches.”

Su The woman stood up: "Who are you?" Tiet Mac was about to answer, but suddenly the whole hall shook!

“What's going on?”

“Earthquake?”

A black shadow descended from the sky, aiming straight at Tiet Mac! Tiet Mac hugged my waist tightly and moved quickly.

“Bang!”

The position we were just standing on exploded, forming a deep hole. The smoke and dust cleared, and a person dressed in black was floating in mid-air.

“Ma tu!” One person cried out in horror.

Diep Yet grinned coldly and quickly retreated to one side. The man in black smiled darkly: "Tiet Mac, my master invites you." Tiet Mac protected me from behind: "Go away." The man in black laughed strangely, throwing out three black lights! Tiet Mac formed a seal with one hand, a golden shield appeared, blocking all three black lights.

“The Upper World Diamond Shield!” The master was horrified, "Surely you are a person from the upper world!"

Tiet Mac didn't have time to explain because the man in black attacked again. This time, the target is me!

“To Li, be careful!”

Tiet Mac reacted extremely quickly, but three black lights suddenly turned back, hitting Diep Yet! Diep Yet did not have time to react and was hit in the chest by three black lights, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

“You…!” He couldn't believe it, looking at the man in black.

The man in black smiled coldly: "It's just a tool." After speaking, he turned into a black mist and disappeared. The entire main hall was in chaos. Master immediately ordered: "Activate the great formation to protect the sect! All disciples be on guard!" Tiet Mac pulled me to the corner of the room.

“Are you okay?” He carefully checked me to see if I was injured.

I shook my head, looking at Diep Yet being helped up: "Why does he want to kill Diep Yet?"

“Stop talking.” Tiet Mac smiled coldly, "It seems like our Grand Master is related to the Demon Sect."

The master came over, his face complicated: "Tiet Mac, we need to talk." Tiet Mac nodded: "After the ceremony." Master wanted to stop talking, finally sighed and left. The ceremony quickly ended, Tiet Mac and I officially became Taoist partners.
