Love and Destiny (宸汐缘)

State Preceptor, you must decide quickly.

I heard that Elder Rongying of the Blue Bird Tribe

and General Lieyang of the White Bird Tribe

are privately moving.

The bloodline of the Phoenix Tribe has been severed.

Now, the hearts of the members of each tribe are gathering and moving.

State Preceptor, if you do not grab hold of this chance now,

I fear that you would just be favoring other people to achieve success.

The bloodline of the Phoenix Tribe...

State Preceptor.

Were you resting?

You need anything?

I have an item to give to you.

State Preceptor Jingxiu, is this true?

Heavenly Emperor, the State Master's position is very important. How could I dare make casual remarks?

State Preceptor Jingxiu, please rise.

Thank you, Heavenly Emperor.

State Preceptor Jingxiu, the choice for the next State Master of Shanling Tribe...

is Princess Ling Xi?

Indeed.

- State Preceptor, are you serious? - Of course.

I am still new here. How can I bear such a position?

With me around, you can do it.

Why?

You are State Master's biological daughter, bearing the bloodline of the Phoenix Tribe, and of high god status.

You are the best choice.

I want to know why it is not you.

My Xuan Bird Tribe has served the State Master of Shanling Tribe for generations.

We must not have disloyal thoughts. This is our ancestral teaching.

I have promised your mother

that I will guard you in this life. I will not go back on my words.

There are some things that Lin Mo may have avoided,

but Ling Xi cannot.

Maybe this is what responsibility is.

I will take my leave.

State Preceptor, are we really going to let Princess Ling Xi ascend to the position of State Master?

That royal throne is hers to begin with.

State Preceptor Jingxiu.

- I am going to the Shanling Realm. Come with me. - Yes.

Senior Deity, Ling Xi is here.

She is in Fuyun Hall.

She will become the State Master? Who does she think she is!

A minor immortal expelled from the Heavenly Race can be worthy to be the State Master of my Shanling Tribe!

Princess, please appease your anger. I also just heard it from others.

Maybe...maybe it was a false rumor?

False rumor? Can this matter be fake?

Is Brother Jingxiu crazy?

He and I have tens of thousands of years of affection.

I did so many things for him.

For him, even my mother's death—

Princess! Princess have you gone crazy because of anger?

No matter how mad you are, you must not blurt things out so casually, make rash remarks.

Moreover, even if it is true,

as long as she has not yet ascended to the throne, she cannot be considered the State Master yet.

State Preceptor Jingxiu and you have a relationship that has existed for a long time.

You know each other very well. That is a deep kind of affection.

As long as you step out and oppose it, State Preceptor will be sure take your side, Princess.

Oppose it? I think he has long forgotten my existence!

But I am not afraid. I will remind him.

As for that bitch...

Ling Xi, this time, will you be able to stay longer?

What? You miss me?

It is not about missing you or not.

Mainly, it is because of that Yuli.

Right now, she keeps coming here.

Always showing herself in front of Senior Deity.

I am worried for you.

It was not easy for you to die twice

before obtaining Senior Deity's heart.

We must not let others take advantage of your absence.

I am talking to you.

If you ask me, let us just directly do the method of "cooking the grain into rice". (T/N to natural end result)

Marry into our Fuyun Hall!

By then, no matter what tricks that Yuli does, she cannot do anything to you.

Just thinking about that makes me happy!

What is so funny?

- Senior Deity. - Senior Deity.

Ling Xi, come with me for a while.

Kaiyang. Send Shisan to the hall of Lord of the Furnace.

Since she loves cooking rice, let her have plenty of it!

Huh?

Fairy Shisan, please.

I do not want to!

Siming.

Go on.

The dishes you cook are delicious!

What is wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?

Anyone who comes here is a guest, but it's fine if you did not ask anyone to serve me tea.

What? You still want to hit me?

Let me remind you that I am also a high god now.

If we really fight, I may not lose to you.

High gods can also be divided into sub-levels. Just with your petty skills...

Tell me, what are you thinking?

Did you not suspect State Preceptor Jingxiu is the murderer of my mother?

Now that he was willing to hand me the State Master position,

does that not prove his innocence?

Since I have no choice,

I can only push the boat in the same direction as the current. This is my duty.

Shanling Tribe has suffered a great change. People's hearts are stirring restlessly.

When I ascend to the throne of the State Master,

not only can I slowly investigate the cause of my mother's death,

I can also eliminate a catastrophe.

But this matter indeed has one troublesome aspect.

The State Master of Shanling Tribe cannot marry a person from other tribe.

What?

I also learned about it just now.

My parents got separated also because of this reason.

You are being willful!

It's fine if you want to investigate the cause of death of State Master Lingyue.

It's also fine if you want to stabilize the political situation of Shanling Tribe.

But this is not the only way!

No need for you to worry about this matter. Just leave it to me.

You cannot do everything for me. That was my mother.

I owe her my life. As her child, it is my duty to practice filial piety.

Being filial does not mean you have to pay with the rest of your life!

That is not what I meant.

No need to say anymore. Even now,

do you still not understand my feelings?

No matter what happens, no one can take you away from me.

The Heavenly Laws could not. The Demon Lord could not.

Your mother cannot either.

I will go look for Heavenly Emperor now.

That is not what I mean!

I have always liked you, it never stopped.

We have gone through so much to have what we have today, so why would I leave you?

I will not stay in the State Master position for long.

Once I find out the truth and find a person whom I can trust,

I will hand over my State Master position.

Really?

Are you willing to wait for me?

No.

This is why I will not wait much longer.

If you are unable to find the real murderer fast

and find that person whom you can entrust your position to,

I will lead my army to attack your Shanling Realm

and eliminate that damned rule!

You are still laughing?

Endure it a little. It will be fine after I apply the mediciine.

You cannot see.

I cannot hear.

Let us not avoid and dislike each other anymore.

A'Mo, I will not allow you to die.

This is my life bead.

I am giving it to you. From now on,

we will live at the same time. Within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths,

between the dark and light realms, among billions of gods and demons, as long as

I do not allow it, no one can harm you!

A'Mo.

Brother Jingxiu.

Baoqing, you are here.

You need anything?

You want Ling Xi to become the State Master?

Do you not fear her knowing the truth and seeking revenge for her mother?

Baoqing, what are you saying?

What do you want?

What do I want?

Do you not know?

Do you really want to become the State Master?

Who wants to be the State Master?

What then do you want?

I can give up being the State Master...

but it cannot be her!

Why can't it be hers?

Because I love you!

Because I love you,

that is why I cannot allow you to love another.

Baoqing.

The matter about the State Master has been publicly announced to the Six Realms and reported to the Heavenly Palace.

We cannot change it.

Do you love her that much?

You are so willing to hand her the blade that will kill you?

She does not love you.

The one she loves is the God of War!

Even if you hand her your life, she will not give you even a glance!

I am the only person who truly loves you.

Only I, do you know that?

Baoqing. I know.

But I only treat you as a little sister.

There is nothing else.

Little sister?

You were the one who killed Mother.

As an adopted child, I can let you off.

But what about that kind and filial high god?

She may not be as magnanimous as I am!

There is no wind-proof wall in this world. (T/N news is able to go through barriers like wind)

Can you hide it from her?

Baoqing.

I do not want to explain things anymore.

Maybe one day you will understand.

I promised your mother

that from now on, I will take good care of you.

Brother Jingxiu, you are playing with fire.

One day, you will hurt yourself.

I will not just watch as you make a mistake.

Baoqing! I know that you care for me.

I can agree to whatever you do and defend you,

except for one thing. You cannot

harm Ling Xi.
