Chapter 7 — My Destiny Is Seventh Brother

Returning to Linh Tuyen Lake, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Today was stressful.” I sat down on the bamboo chair.

Tiet Mac brewed a pot of tea with a serious expression.

“Diep Yet is affiliated with Ma Mon, it's not a simple matter.”

I held his hand: "Who does the man in black say his master is?" Tiet Mac shook his head: "Not sure, but being able to control the demonic cultivator Nguyen Anh stage is definitely not an ordinary person." I suddenly thought of something: "Master said you are a person from the upper world..." Tiet Mac was silent for a moment, then sighed: "The time hasn't come yet, I don't want to reveal it."

“So now…”

“Now,” he patted my head, “Let's first solve the problem at hand.”

The text suddenly appeared: 【Little fairy, there is a deeper seal on Tiet Mac's body】 I was stunned: "There is still a seal?" Tiet Mac raised his eyebrows: "What?" I realized I had said something wrong and quickly shook my head: "Nothing..." He looked at me for a moment, with a thoughtful look on his face: "To Li, what are you hiding from me?" I was confused and didn't know how to answer. Tell him I can see the mysterious writing? Will he believe it? Tiet Mac suddenly came closer and lifted my chin.

“We are already spiritual partners,” he said softly, “We should trust each other, right?”

His eyes are as bright as stars, making it impossible for me to lie.

“I… I can see some of the lines,” I said softly, “They give me hints…”

Tiet Mac's eyes suddenly narrowed: "What text?"

"The words are golden and transparent, only I can see..."

“When did it start?”

“Starting from… when choosing a spiritual companion.”

Tiet Mac's expression became extremely complicated, showing surprise, joy, and a little... relief?

“As expected of you…” He whispered.

“What?”

He shook his head and suddenly hugged me tightly.

“Thank you for believing in me,” he whispered in my ear, “Those words… are mine.”

I opened my eyes wide: "What?!"

“Rather,” he let go of me, his eyes shining, “They are a part of me.”

I wanted to ask more, but Tiet Mac signaled silence.

“Someone is coming.”

The bamboo door was knocked, and the master's voice rang out:

“Tiet Mac, To Li, open the door.”

Tiet Mac and I looked at each other, quickly adjusted our clothes and opened the door. Master stood alone outside the door, under the moonlight, his appearance looked even more aged.

“Master, go inside.” Tiet Mac leaned over to give way.

The master walked into the courtyard, his eyes scanned the magical tools hanging on the wall, his eyes flashed with understanding.

“Indeed, they are all things of the upper world.”

He walked to the table, sat down and motioned for us to sit.

“Tiet Mac,” Master asked directly, “Who are you?”

Tiet Mac poured me a cup of tea, his face calm: "Master, haven't you already guessed?"

“I want to hear you say it with your mouth.”

In the room there was only the sound of fragrant tea spreading, the atmosphere was quiet. Tiet Mac sighed softly: "Huan Thien Immortal Earth, Thanh Thien Immortal Monarch." The tea cup in my hand almost fell down, Tiet Mac quickly caught it. Master took a cold breath. Even though he had a premonition, when he heard it with his own ears, he still couldn't help but be surprised.

“Tien Quan… reincarnated?”

Tiet Mac nodded: "Three hundred years ago, in order to search for a treasure, I went down to earth, was murdered, and had to temporarily leave my body to reincarnate."

“That treasure…”

“Found it.” Tiet Mac looked at me, his eyes filled with gentleness easy.

My heart suddenly pounded: "Is it me?"

“To be precise, your body has the origin of Xuan Yin.”

The master suddenly understood: "I didn't expect To Li to be able to break your seal!" Tiet Mac smiled softly: "Not only that, she is also my destined companion." My mind is in chaos right now, Tien Quan? Origin of Xuan Yin? Taoist destiny? The words suddenly appeared: 【Little fairy, don't panic, what he said is the truth】 I raised my head: "Those words... are you really doing them?" Tiet Mac nodded: "It's part of my spiritual mind, helping guide you to find me." The Master asked curiously: "What is the text?" Tiet Mac explained simply, the master couldn't help but be impressed after hearing it.

"No wonder To Li chose you," the master exclaimed, "It turned out it was already arranged."

Tiet Mac shook his head: "It's not completely arranged. Spiritual thoughts can only guide, the final choice is still yours to decide." He looked at me, his eyes full of love: "You can absolutely choose Diep Yet." The master suddenly became serious: "Speaking of Diep Yet, his association with the Demon Sect is not a simple matter." Tiet Mac smiled coldly: "Blood Demon Sect, I recognize that technique."

“So why did they target you?”

“Because it is also to obtain the origin of Xuan Yin.” Tiet Mac held my hand, "This is the main material to refine into the body of Demon Lord."

I suddenly shivered: "They... want to kill me to get my origin?" Tiet Mac's eyes were cold: "Unless they step over my body." Master was worried: "The Blood Demon Sect is a powerful force, our Hop Huan sect..."

“Master, there is no need to worry,” Tiet Mac consoled, “I have sent a message to the upper world, reinforcements will arrive soon.”

The master breathed a sigh of relief, then continued exchanging a few words before standing up to say goodbye. After saying goodbye to my master, I stood by the lake, feeling confused. Moonlight illuminates the lake surface, creating silver ripples. Tiet Mac quietly approached me from behind and gently hugged my waist.

“Are you scared?”

I leaned against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.

“It's a bit... all of this is too unbelievable.”

He placed his chin on top of my head: "Do you regret choosing me?" I turned around to face him: "How is that possible?" Tiet Mac's eyes were as bright as the stars: "Even though I lied to you?"

“That's not called a trick,” I shook my head, “It's just... a surprise.”

He smiled softly, hugging me tighter.

“To Li, from today, I will teach you how to use the power of Xuan Yin.”

“Can I learn?”

“Of course,” he said confidently, “You have very high talent.”

We returned to the courtyard, Tiet Mac took out a jade slip.

“This is 《Huyen Yin True Solution》, the most suitable technique for you.”

The jade slip is cold when held in the hand, but it makes us feel strangely close. Tiet Mac taught me to sit cross-legged, palms facing each other.

“Feel my spiritual energy guiding you.”

A warm force came from his hand, guiding the energy in my body to operate. Unlike the previous double cultivation, this time the spiritual energy was much deeper. It's like we see an endlessly vast starry sky.

“This is…”

“My spiritual thoughts,” Tiet Mac said, his voice seemed to echo from far away, “Shared with you.”

The starlight gradually gathered, turning into a long silver river. In the river of light, countless images appeared: fairy palaces, flying divine beasts, and... war. Call The battle between fairies and ghosts, blood dyed the clouds red. Finally, there was a vague silhouette of a woman. She turned her head to look, her face looked seven parts like mine!

“Who is she?” I exclaimed.

The image suddenly stops. Tiet Mac opened his eyes, sweat falling on his forehead.

“You saw it?”

I nodded: "That woman..."

“It was my previous life.” He said softly.

I opened my eyes wide: "Are you a reincarnated woman?"

“Tien Quan has no gender,” he explained, “It can be male or female, depending on your wishes.”

I don't know what to say. Tiet Mac wiped away his sweat: "That's it for today, you can digest it." I held his hand: "Wait, those lines... will continue to appear?" He smiled: "Will, until you no longer need them." At night, I toss and turn restlessly. Getting up from bed, I walked to the window and discovered Tiet Mac practicing his sword by the lake. The moonlight shines, his figure is like a fairy, his sword light is like water. We can't help but think about the images we saw. Tien Quan... past life... origin of Xuan Yin... Everything is beyond imagination. Tiet Mac put away his sword, turned around, saw me looking at him, and jumped up to the window.

“Can't sleep?”

I shook my head: "There are too many things I don't understand." He sat down by the window and hugged me.

“Just take your time, we have plenty of time.”

I leaned on his shoulder: "Will that man in black still come back?"

“Sure,” Tiet Mac said firmly, “But I won't let him hurt you.”

I raised my head to look at him: "If... if they take away the origin of Xuan Yin, what will I do?" Tiet Mac suddenly stiffened: "You'll be fine."

“Really?”

He lifted my face and said seriously: "I swear by my soul, I will absolutely not let you get hurt." I believe him. Somehow, I completely believe it.

“Tiet Mac.”

“Um?”

“No matter who you are, Tien Quan or just an ordinary monk,” I said softly, “I just like you.”

His eyes flashed like bright stars, he leaned down and kissed my lips. This kiss was different from the previous ones, carrying a feeling of destiny.
