Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 451: The Expanding Li Shuang
"Destiny requires a living being to bear it?" Xu Ping’an asked curiously.
"Yes, destiny must be carried by a living creature. For something like the destiny of a Sect or a nation, once it reaches a certain level, it will form something similar to a dragon vein. Dragon veins are extremely firm and masculine, so generally, to bear such destiny, it is basically only possible for women." Gu Lingyan said.
Xu Ping’an understood.
…
Facing Li Shuang’s questioning, Zhao Qiming was not flustered but instead smiled and said, "I have no other intentions, I just think that Saintess Zhou is more suitable to bear the destiny of the Holy Heavenly Sect."
"Yes, Saintess Zhou is indeed more suitable to bear the dragon vein. Since the dragon vein is extremely firm and masculine, it must be suppressed by a body with the Yin attribute, and what’s more, I’ve just observed that Saintess Zhou is of the Mysterious Yin Body, making her the most suitable to suppress the dragon vein of the Holy Heavenly Sect. If it were you, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to suppress it," Ye Tianxing said indifferently after glancing at Li Shuang.
Upon hearing this, Li Shuang had a look of resentment and stared venomously at Zhou Mengyue.
Zhou Mengyue paid no attention to Li Shuang and instead looked towards Zhao Qiming and the others.
"If I were to bear the dragon vein, would it affect me in any way?" Zhou Mengyue asked.
"It will, but most of the effects are beneficial, with no downsides. Your luck will become very good, and your cultivation speed will also increase significantly. As long as the dragon vein hasn’t returned to our Yuheng Heaven, it will be yours." Zhao Qiming said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, four beautiful women’s eyes lit up.
This was a great opportunity indeed.
Li Shuang felt even more jealous as she glared at Zhou Mengyue.
All of this should have belonged to her.
However, Zhou Mengyue frowned and asked, "And the downside?"
"Actually, it’s not really a downside. When the time comes for you, Saintess Zhou, to return the dragon vein to our Yuheng Heaven, you won’t be able to leave Yuheng Heaven for the next ten years. Rest assured, we will definitely compensate you, Saintess Zhou, by providing you with the highest quality cultivation resources," Zhao Qiming said with a smile.
The four beautiful women also breathed a sigh of relief.
This really wasn’t a downside, and it might even be beneficial, considering the cultivation resources of Yuheng Heaven were not something just anyone could obtain.
Li Shuang was even more furious with jealousy.
Ten years? By then, Zhou Mengyue would definitely be with Zhao Qiming, what place would there be left for her?
At this moment, Zhou Mengyue’s brow was deeply furrowed, her expression changing.
In a hidden spot, Xu Ping’an watched everything silently, mocking in his heart.
Zhou Mengyue will surely agree, he thought. Given her character, she wouldn’t let go of such an opportunity easily.
However, Zhou Mengyue spoke up decisively, "I refuse, you should find someone else."
These words caught everyone by surprise.
Zhou Mengyue actually refused?
Even the four middle-aged beautiful women were taken aback.
"Saintess Zhou, why don’t you reconsider? There is not a single downside for you, and being blessed by destiny can obtain you unexpected benefits in the Heavenly Star Palace." Zhao Qiming hastily persuaded.
"Meng Yue, please agree quickly. This is a good opportunity. Even if the Sect leader were here, she would agree," said the leading woman in palace attire.
Yet Zhou Mengyue’s eyes were resolute as she said, "Isn’t the Sect leader sending me to retrieve Xu Ping’an? If I go to Yuheng Heaven, how can I retrieve Xu Ping’an?"
At this, everyone was stunned.
Zhou Mengyue refused because of Xu Ping’an?
Zhao Qiming’s face immediately darkened.
Xu Ping’an again?
Damn it, she was willing to give up such a grand opportunity just for Xu Ping’an?
Did she actually think that retrieving Xu Ping’an was far more important than going to Yuheng Heaven?
Meanwhile, Xu Ping’an in the shadows was also taken aback; he hadn’t expected Zhou Mengyue to say such things.
But in his view, Zhou Mengyue was doomed to fail.
Because those who had once betrayed and hurt him, whether it was Zhou Mengyue or Ling Qingyao, could never win him back.
"Hmph, shameless," Gu Lingyan cursed, fuming nearby.
Xu Ping’an looked at Gu Lingyan’s expression, caught between laughter and tears.
```
Could this girl have taken a fancy to me as well?
"Meng Yue, the plan to bring back Xu Ping’an, didn’t you fail? I think if the Sect Master were here, he would definitely have you bear the fate," the palace-garbed beauty spoke.
Zhao Qiming and others also looked towards Zhou Mengyue, who indeed was the most suitable candidate.
"I still stand by my decision," Zhou Mengyue shook her head in refusal.
"Saintess Zhou, is Xu Ping’an worth such a huge sacrifice on your part?" Zhao Qiming gritted his teeth.
Zhou Mengyue looked towards Zhao Qiming with cold eyes, "This is not a sacrifice, it’s a choice. To me, even if I can’t get Xu Ping’an back in the end, I will have no regrets."
With those words out, Zhao Qiming’s face turned the color of pig tripe.
"Enough, if you’re unwilling, then it’ll be you. The fate of the Holy Heavenly Sect shouldn’t be too muddled; you should be able to sustain it," Ye Tianxing shook his head, turning to speak to Li Shuang.
Li Shuang immediately burst into joy upon hearing this.
Though Zhao Qiming felt somewhat unwilling, he couldn’t say anything further.
Throughout this process, Yu Qianzong watched silently from the side, not speaking up.
"This Zhou Mengyue isn’t stupid; she made the right choice," Gu Lingyan murmured softly from the shadows.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Xu Ping’an looked towards Gu Lingyan.
"You’ll see in a bit," Gu Lingyan said with a smile.
Xu Ping’an was puzzled but continued to watch quietly.
Inside the grand hall, at that moment, Ye Tianxing had already activated the Formation.
The Great Formation ignited, unleashing a tremendously powerful Formation Pattern fluctuation.
All twelve Talisman Seals lit up, emitting an aura of power that made one’s heart palpitate.
Li Shuang stood at the center of the Great Formation, her face full of excitement.
With the blessing of fate, she was sure to surpass Zhou Mengyue and take her place.
With the support of Yuheng Heaven and the Hehuan Sect, her path was bound to go even further.
"Zhou Mengyue, just you wait, I will step on you," Li Shuang looked at Zhou Mengyue with pride, lifting her proud, snow-white neck.
Zhou Mengyue, however, remained indifferent, her face firm with resolve.
"Ah, actually, you shouldn’t have given up; I hope you won’t regret it in the future. If Li Shuang truly gets the support of Yuheng Heaven, you might really lose your position as Saintess," the palace-garbed beauty said with a face full of pity.
"I won’t regret it. If I lose the title of Saintess, then so be it. I have come to understand, I just want to do what I want to do," Zhou Mengyue spoke out.
Is the position of Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect really that important?
In Xu Ping’an’s eyes, it’s probably worthless, right?
So then, the position of Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect should not be the goal I pursue.
"Buzz!"
The power of the Formation surged, and the next moment, an invisible force permeated from the ground, continuously flowing towards Li Shuang.
The latter’s face gleamed with joy; she felt as if she had become lighter.
Is this the great fortune?
With such a fortune upon me, why worry about not going further on my path in the future?
Zhou Mengyue, what qualifications do you have to be mentioned in the same breath as me?
Li Shuang’s inner pride swelled enormously, and her expression became incredibly excited and greedy.
Suddenly, her face changed, and she let out an exhausted, hissing roar, "No..."
"Bang!"

However, before her roar could subside, Li Shuang’s entire body exploded, turning into a mist of blood.
The people in the grand hall were instantly stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
Xu Ping’an in the shadows was also taken aback.
Only Gu Lingyan showed a smile, heh-heh saying, "I knew there was something wrong with this fortune."
