Chapter 68: Chapter 66: Blame Others Rather Than Yourself

Lu Xingzhi gave a bitter smile, his expression somewhat bewildered: "Shi Nian, do you think that I am also greatly at fault. I cultivate in the mountains all year round, only able to visit home once a year, and each time I spend with Jiang Yue is merely a few days. If it were someone else, they would surely have much more time to be with her."

The more Lu Xingzhi spoke, the more bitter his expression became.

Upon hearing this, Shi Nian couldn’t help but become anxious: "Second Senior Brother! What are you thinking about? If it was not for your cultivation in the Divine Martial Sect and having the support of your older brother, why would the Demon Clan have spared the Mu Family? Was it not all because they feared you, feared Master, feared our Divine Martial Sect! Back then, the Mu Family used this marriage arrangement to save their clan’s lives. Didn’t Mu Jiangyue benefit from this as well? If she felt wronged at that time, she could have simply rejected the marriage. Do you think Uncle Lu would have shamelessly insisted? If it were anyone else, her Mu Family would have been destroyed long ago."

Lu Xingzhi was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Seeing Lu Xingzhi looking so dispirited, Shi Nian couldn’t help but feel frustrated with his lack of resolve.

"Second Senior Brother, let me tell you something."

"Instead of blaming yourself, it’s better to blame others!"

"If the world has betrayed you, then it’s the world’s fault! You are not in the wrong! If everyone in the world blames you, then they are at fault, and you are still not in the wrong!"

Lu Xingzhi tugged at the corner of his mouth, wanting to laugh but holding back.

Unable to resist, he looked at Shi Nian: "You sure have a way with these crooked arguments."

Shi Nian raised an eyebrow: "What I am saying is not crooked reasoning. Second Senior Brother, people like you who always like to find the cause within yourself, others might praise you as a good person. But what about you? Are you truly happy?"

Lu Xingzhi pursed his lips tightly.

"My life philosophy is, never to trouble myself." Shi Nian said assertively: "I treat those who are good to me well, and those who are not good to me, I do not treat well. As for those who mistreat me, whether they have a tragic past, or some indescribable troubles, it’s none of my business! I just live my own carefree life."

At this moment, Shi Nian was shining brightly.

Lu Xingzhi chuckled, tapping her head lightly.

A moment later, he tapped it once more.

Hmm. Tapping an even number of times feels more harmonious.

"Second Senior Brother," Shi Nian looked at him very discontentedly.

Lu Xingzhi withdrew his hand and coughed lightly: "Don’t go around spreading this kind of talk in the future."

Shi Nian’s way of thinking, after all, did not conform with mainstream thought.

Shi Nian stuck out her tongue: "I’m not stupid. Anyway, Senior Brother, you owe nothing to the Mu Family. If Mu Jiangyue really has fallen for someone else, it’s not your fault."

After being indoctrinated by Shi Nian’s convoluted reasoning, Lu Xingzhi also felt a bit more relaxed inside. He smiled: "I understand."

Shi Nian carefully observed Lu Xingzhi’s expression and, seeing that he was fairly calm, couldn’t help but ask, "Senior Brother, what are you planning to do about the matter with Mu Jiangyue?"

Lu Xingzhi said calmly: "After the sect’s entrance examination is over. I will personally ask her for an answer."

If Mu Jiangyue has indeed fallen in love with someone else.

He is not an unreasonable person.

He can give her freedom.

From then on, the two of them.

Would go their separate ways.

It would be fine to have no more dealings.

Seeing that Lu Xingzhi was resolute, Shi Nian felt at ease.

Hmph.

In the books, Mu Jiangyue claimed over and over that she was bound by the marriage arranged by Senior Brother.

Yet she didn’t realize that Senior Brother has always been carefree and untroubled; if she had been forthright and honestly spoken about her and Yin Yu’s affair.

With Senior Brother’s nature, how could he have made things difficult for them?

But instead, she dared not clarify things with Senior Brother and continued to be involved with Yin Yu behind his back.

This is what led to such an outcome!

This time.

She let Senior Brother see the ambiguity between Yin Yu and Mu Jiangyue in advance, and she wanted to see with everything out in the open.

How Mu Jiangyue would choose!

Shi Nian did not linger, quickly bidding farewell and leaving.

Senior Brother now needed some time alone; it was not right for her to disturb him any further.

The sect’s newcomer trial lasted for seven days.

Seven days later.

Thirty new disciples have already been determined.

In front of the majestic main hall, the Sect Leader stands in the middle.

The five Venerables take their places on either side.

The thirty new disciples stand excitedly before them, their eyes brimming with longing and anticipation.

Just now.

An attendant told them that if the Sect Leader and the five Venerables see a disciple they fancy, they will take them directly under their wing.

That would mean they’d at least be official disciples, no need to start from the very bottom and slowly work their way up.

At this moment, the new disciples all gaze fervently at the six towering figures, hoping to be favored by any one of them.

As True Disciples.

This time.

Except for Mu Nanqing, who is in closed-door cultivation, the rest from the Ling Tian Sect stand behind the Ling Tian Sword Master, waiting for the initiation ceremony to begin shortly.

Lu Xingzhi stands tall and straight, with a calm gaze directed towards Mu Jiangyue, and also... Yin Yu.

This time’s entrance test.

Both Yin Yu and Mu Jiangyue passed it.

Long ago, he told Mu Jiangyue that he could ask the Master to allow Mu Jiangyue to join Ling Tian Peak.

Yet Mu Jiangyue was brimming with confidence, saying she didn’t want to use connections; she wanted to join the Divine Martial Sect on her own merit.

He also thought.

Let Mu Jiangyue give it a try first; if it really wouldn’t work out, he would then ask the Master.

Thinking back now.

He was simply worrying too much.

Mu Jiangyue doesn’t need his help at all.

In such a setting.

Both Yin Yu and Mu Jiangyue are quite well-behaved, without any inappropriate actions.

From afar, Mu Jiangyue catches sight of Lu Xingzhi, and her heart trembles slightly.

Her heart, thoroughly in disarray.

During these days with Yin Yu, she was so blissful that she almost forgot the existence of her fiancé.

But.

Happiness is fleeting.

Eventually, she has to face the truth.

Lu Xingzhi holds a deep-rooted position in the Divine Martial Sect, while her brother Yin Yu is just a new disciple.

How could he ever compete with Lu Xingzhi?

With her head bowed, Mu Jiangyue is on the verge of tears.

The beautiful dream, now comes to an end.

She... she cannot bring harm upon her brother Yin Yu.

Let it be, let it be.

If it’s for the sake of her family, what harm is there to sacrifice herself, Mu Jiangyue?

In her heart, a sense of desolation emerges. She even feels a sense of selflessness, of grandeur.

After all.

She is sacrificing her own love.

"You thirty, selected from tens of thousands, would be considered outstanding persons in the mortal world." The Sect Leader says calmly: "But this is the Divine Martial Sect. No matter what status you held before, now, you are all just new disciples who have recently joined. Here, everything starts anew, and how far you can go depends on your own fate."

"Bai Hua." Speaking thus, the Sect Leader glances at Venerable Bai Hua beside him.

Venerable Bai Hua nods her head.

She steps forward, and then with a slight wave of her hand.

Thirty beams of light fall simultaneously, each enveloping one of the thirty
