Love and Destiny (宸汐缘)

Senior Deity.

Why did you come here, Senior Deity?

Looking for something?

Senior Deity, see....it's broken.

The Water Moon Cauldron, the only item in this world that can repair any item,

acknowledged Ling Xi as its master, and no one else can use it.

And Ling Xi has been killed by you.

Logically speaking, if this was before,

I would risk my life to search for any item

that you want.

Too bad, the thing you want at this moment

is my life.

Senior Deity, do you know

that everything I did was to get closer to you?

I treated you with sincerity.

Why must you treat me like this?

You killed all those people?

Even if they were not killed by me,

you would still assume that they were.

You never believed me, why then must you ask me?

I was ordered to guard the Dark Capital Mountain which is densely covered by demonic aura,

while the manor of the Lord of Heavenly Medicine sent me a defective Constitution-Aiding Pill!

Senior Deity, did you ever worry about my safety?

Because you favor Ling Xi, you then are excessively caring for her Senior Sister.

Senior Deity has such a broad heart.

It can accommodate so many people.

Why then can you not save me a place?

Yuantong. You repeatedly committed evil deeds.

You think that just by clever talk you can trick your way past this?

Or, do you really think

I am that pedantic?

Without evidence, can I not deal with you?

Of course you can, Senior Deity.

If all of my Yuan Clan die in your hands,

you can say that we died a worthy death.

Wasn't my older brother, your subordinate,

personally killed by you

in this place?

Senior Brother!

Senior Brother, how did it go? Did you get the Reflecting Light Mirror?

Do not fret. When Ling Xi returns,

the truth will come out, but you must prepare yourself.

Even if Yuantong deserves to die,

Doctor Qingyao cannot fully extricate herself from this.

Doctor Qingyao used the convenience of her post

to take revenge on a personal grudge and led to the death of a lot of people.

This is not something that can be resolved by passing the blame.

Qingyao is a doctor of the Heavenly Palace. She used her power for personal gain, attempted to kill a fellow immortal.

This kind of crime has never been heard of. I earnestly ask Heavenly Emperor to punish her severely.

I harmed people. I should be punished.

Even if I die, I deserve it.

Let me tell you that I am not joking around.

I am hell-bent on becoming Chengyan's brother-in-law.

Once Ling Xi returns from the mortal world, I will use the methods of the mortals

and use a wedding carriage carried by eight people to convey you.

The mistress of my Flying Curtain Hall can only be you.

Heavenly Emperor, that is the truth.

Because of Le Bo's death, Qingyao could not dispel the grief.

Due to a moment of wrong decision, she committed a huge mistake.

But I knew about this matter from start to finish.

As a high god, I grew up in the Heavenly Palace.

I received teachings from Heavenly Emperor and Respected Teacher.

But I was not able to fulfill my duty. I did not stop Qingyao in time

and allowed this matter to play out to its current state.

I, Yunfeng, cannot escape punishment.

Yunfeng, this matter has nothing to do with you to begin with.

But the words you said earlier,

do you know what consequences they will bring to you?

I know.

Yunfeng, you followed your Respected Teacher since you were young to train in immortal magic.

Although you have an unpredictable personality,

you have abundant naturally endowed talent. At a young age, you reached the high god status.

You have a very promising future.

But this matter can turn all your past into burst bubbles.

Those tens of thousands of years spent in the cave

to painstakingly train will lose their meaning.

As for the future days, there won't be anything to look forward to.

Do you know that?

I understand.

Without both a compass and a ruler, you cannot draw a perfect circle or a square.

The dead are gone, but we must give them justice.

As a high god, I knew about this matter

but indulged Qingyao, and this led to a grave mistake in the end.

I ask Heavenly Emperor to punish me.

As for Qingyao, she is the disciple of Doctor Le Bo.

She committed a huge mistake out of anger from the pain of losing her loved one.

Her natural temperament is kind.

For tens of thousands of years, she has traveled the Six Realms,

giving out medicines and doing acupuncture, saving so many people.

I ask Heavenly Emperor to consider the numerous public merits she accumulated for many years

and spare her life.

Brother Xiu.

Do you feel better?

Brother Xiu, I have a question to ask you.

Ask away.

I want to know who Jiu Chen is.

Who is Ling Xi?

What do both of them have to do with me?

Why do you all say that if I die,

Ling Xi will return?

Jiuchen, I will not let you have A'Mo.

You really want to know?

Jiuchen is a high god from the Nine Heavens.

He is the God of War, respected by everyone within the Four Seas.

Ling Xi is a female immortal of the Heavenly Race.

She is a daughter of an immortal doctor and is from the Peach Forest.

Because she broke the Heavenly Law, she was ordered to be executed.

He...likes her?

Probably.

What mistake did she commit?

The crime the Heavenly Race gave is colluding with the Demon Tribe.

- Demon Tribe? - Demon Tribe. If there are gods, then there are demons.

The battle between them has been happening for a long time.

Then, she is an evil person?

I only met her a few times.

In my opinion, she was naturally kind. She would never collude with the demons.

She...is that good?

She was very good.

She is pure and devoid of evil, has a heart like a chlid.

She loves God of War.

Although she is weak and lowly, she has repeatedly risked her life for him, unafraid of the danger.

What a pity...that fate made a fool of people. She was framed by an evil person.

The Heavenly Race thought that she would let the Demon Lord out and bring evil to all living creatures.

That is why she was executed.

She is dead?

Dead.

Jiuchen personally killed her.

What? How could he--

Why not? Jiuchen is the god of war. Killing demons is his duty.

And Ling Xi colluded with the Demon Tribe, she is their hope.

With such opposing positions, how can they stay together forever?

Hence, he severed their love fate and personally killed her in front of all

the deities on the Purple Cloud Platform.

Then what do Ling Xi and I have in common?

You...are her trial.

- Trial? - Trial.

Great disaster in one's life. Being born, growing old, getting sick, dying.

Unable to love, unable to obtain it, unable to be severed from it, a life full of struggles, all are trials.

- Trials. - Trials.

After Ling Xi died, her souls didn't disperse.

I do not know what method Jiuchen used to preserve her spirit.

He used a portion of her primordial energy to create you.

Let you enter the mortal world, and go through trials on her behalf.

A'Mo, this is the reason why you have a life of struggles,

why you were not able to continue your fate with your real family. Only by successfully going past these trials

and doing as they wish you to do in the end,

that is, to die...

can Ling Xi be reborn.

So, I am her trial?

A'Mo.

Then, everything I went through before

were all arranged by someone?

Yes.

I had a disability since I was young, I was disdained by my family,

Was this all also arranged?

The Crown Prince in the palace getting sick

forcing my father to personally kill me,

his pushing me into the water,

all these events were also arranged by them?

So,

Jiuchen coming to my side

was to wait for my death.

A'Mo.

Then, Brother Xiu, what about you?

Were you here also for her?

No.

Of course not!

Although I know Ling Xi, I do not have feelings for her.

It's different with you.

It was you who saved me when I suffered great danger.

I will never forget such a debt of gratittude.

No matter how good others can be, I only recognize you.

You have a kind temperament.

Even if you encountered setbacks, you live in an optimistic and carefree manner.

You treat others with kindness, but do not desire to be repaid.

You are smart and adorable.

And you have good culinary skills.

I like being with you.

No matter if the other party is a god or a demon,

I only acknowledge you, Lin Mo.

A'Mo, do not be afraid.

With me around,

no matter who comes, they will never get to harm you,

even if I have to be enemies with the gods and demons in this world. With me around,

as long as you are willing, no one can force you. With me around,

I will never let you die.

I will forever protect you.

You may go.

Go?

Heavenly Emperor has found out the truth. Other than you,

High God Yunfeng also knew about this.

Although you are the mastermind, with Le Bo just dying,

your emotions becoming excessively agitated is understandable.

Therefore, in consideration of your many years of practicing medicine and giving out treatments,

with you saving so many living beings,

you are being given another chance.

You were flogged two hundred strokes, and your cultivation is halved.

Go back to the Peach Forest, and reflect in seclusion.
