[2ha x genderfluid reader] The Husky And The White Cat Shizun With Their Baobei

Chapter 5 (revised)

It was the same scene as before, with the same exact alluring phoenix eyes looking down at you, bringing back memories of your second past life. The aura of the individual was like that of a celestial being. His beautiful face was paired with that bone-piercing coldness and indifference. If there was a reincarnation of the word "divine,"  it would be him. His beauty could even rival that of the gods above. Even the most beautiful woman, Song Qiutong, is no match for him. As expected of the true protagonist.

He was patient with you, like you were with him.

You missed him. Waiting all those years for him. Practicing to your limits just to impress him. To save him. You wanted to embrace him tightly in your arms, telling him that everything was going to be fine.

Human lives are short, so you know that you can't say hundreds, even if you know deep inside that you would wait hundreds of years for him.

You could only pray for the best. You watched the other children choose their elders. Leaving you and some others still remaining. You were looking at Chu Wanning, almost ashamed to approach him. The guilt that you weren't able to save him in your past life was eating you alive.

Were you even worthy to be basked in his godly presence? What if you failed him again?

The uncertainty was creeping in on you. It wasn't long before; it felt like only you were left out of the entire selection. You mustered up the courage and walked up to Chu Wanning.

You still ended up leaving the village and settling off on your quest. As in past lives, the grandmother didn't stop you but instead encouraged you to work harder to get into a good sect. The only difference was that in this lifetime, you weren't alone; your acquired holy weapon accompanied you. You went to Tinyau, a village on a mountain near the other mountain, Sisheng Peak. In your male form.

The village wasn't extremely far from your original village; after all, if it were, Sisheng Peak wouldn't send disciples to assist with your village's agricultural development. However, you assumed that it would be easier to be much closer so that you wouldn't have to run late to the disciple-selecting ceremony.

The disciple-selecting ceremony isn't that easy. At least not in your previous life. Since you weren't friends with Xue Meng, like Shi Mei, You couldn't pretend to be the son of a dead family member of Xue Zhengyong.

In your previous life, once those participating arrived at the ceremony, they were teleported to a wide forest area that lacked any high-level creatures. There were some creatures; however, they were all small-ranked creatures, in order to prevent any accidents from happening. The task was to find feathers that only meant-to-be cultivators could see; non-cultivators would be unable to see the features. Unless the non-cultivators are from a noble family and have some ancestral weapon that can assist in the findings,.

It sounds easy; however, if there were tons of participants and only a limited amount of feathers, people would tend to fight for it. You were smart to pretend that you don't have any and were successfully able to fool those arrogant people into trying to get you as well.

With Xian'ye (your holy hand fan), you were able to get one of the feathers. Remembering that Chu Wanning and the other sect teachers are watching, you made sure to prevent any further incidents from occurring between the other participants. In your past life, without any holy weapon, you weren't able to do much since you didn't want to be dragged into the drama.

                               ——

"From now on, you're my disciple. You would be committed to the pursuit of righteousness and cultivation. This choice will reshape the very essence of your journey and your destiny."

You got accepted by him.
