Song Jixing didn't know how to open this topic.

However, Shi Hua had relaxed the vexed expression between his brows, looking towards Song Jixing and saying, "Your life talisman has been shattered. This master was planning..."

Shi Hua stopped mid-sentence, then sighed and said, "These years, you've had a very difficult time here."

Those two brief sentences sent ripples of a different sort through Song Jixing's heart.

Her master Shi Hua was proficient in the art of divining the five elements. His renowned cultivator ancestors had glimpsed the heavenly secrets and attained immortality. They had created their own cultivation method for later generations to study. Aall 𝒏𝒆west ch𝒂pt𝒆rs on n.o./v𝒆l𝒃i/n/(.)c𝒐m

After mastering this method, the Shi Family's fortune-telling became increasingly accurate. Many who came seeking divinations had their wishes fulfilled, and the Shi Family became a renowned great clan in the cultivation world.

As for why Shi Hua joined the Qingyun Sect, that stemmed from the method left behind by his ancestors.

The Shi Family's cultivation method and wealth drew envious eyes, including from hypocritical upright sects as well as evil and demonic cultivators. They banded together and slaughtered the Shi Family.

Shi Hua was one of the few survivors, and he later joined the Qingyun Sect to study the sword path.

The Qingyun Sect was a major sect, with many ascended patriarchs and an abundance of rare treasures. They had no interest in the Shi Family's cultivation method.

These were all things the master had told her personally.

Before she became his disciple, the master had told her that although he had some cultivation, he didn't have great abilities. There were many of his sworn enemies outside, and if she became his disciple, she might not gain many benefits and could even invite danger.

Despite this, Song Jixing still became his disciple.

Because Shi Hua was the first to appear and save her when she was nearly killed by a demonic beast.

After she recovered from her injuries, the Qingyun Sect disciples wanted to take her directly back to the sect when they learned of her dual spiritual roots. But Shi Hua spoke up and let her choose from more sects.

If it could be said that Song Jixing was initially infatuated with Shi Hua's kindness, then later she truly and deeply fell in love with this person.

After becoming his disciple, Song Jixing's mentality changed slightly, but her original intentions did not waver.

Her master's guidance to her was like that of the relative she had longed for day and night.

The saying goes: "One day as teacher, lifelong as father." According to the cultivation world's rules, her master was like a stepfather to her.

It was just a pity that her master was too young, appearing somewhat too young to be a father, but was still a familial existence.

There was another even more important point.

Her master had read her fortune and immediately saw that her facial features didn't match - she was fated for an early demise. Yet she had lived, joining the Qingyun Sect and growing into an adult.

For certain special reasons, after joining the sect, her master cast a divination and predicted changes to her destiny. Her fate had been forcibly altered, yet without any human traces, as if formed naturally by heaven's will.
