For instance, the first decline is “appearance.” If one is not careful, one can suddenly age a lot, even with a damaged appearance and a significant change in temperament and form.
This is something female cultivators cannot accept.
Which woman doesn’t love beauty?
Even if they are female cultivators, they are still very vain.
According to Sect Leader Aunt, the ancestor of the East Family looked exceptionally young before experiencing the five declines of heaven and man, appearing to be only in his thirties, with quite a bit of the charm of a handsome young master.
Although he couldn’t compare to Qin Changqing, he was a handsome man.
However, the last time Qin Changqing saw him, he looked incredibly old. This is the after-effect brought by the first decline.
Moreover, it is irreversible.
Even if you nourish it daily with True Origin, or use some rare heavenly and earthly treasures, you can’t reverse it after the first decline.
Once you have experienced the first decline, you have effectively matured in “appearance”, and there will be no more changes.
It means, the your appearance has been set.
So, the last time we met, the Master of Guiyuan Sect did not speak or even show any expression to avoid damaging his “appearance”.
This time, the Master of Guiyuan Sect is probably filled with despair, knowing he can’t escape it, so he started to talk about his post-death matters.
He wanted to entrust Guiyuan Sect to Master Butterfly Cloud and Qin Changqing.
She risked it all, knowing it’s a certain death.
However, having lived for countless years, the Master of Guiyuan Sect quickly came to accept it.
As embarrassing as it is, Master Butterfly Cloud’s suggestion might actually work. It was worth a try.
Especially since she had a good impression of Qin Changqing, she didn’t really resist the idea.
Otherwise, even if she were facing death, she would rather die than gamble, if the person was someone she dislikes.
But still… it was too embarrassing.
Because of this, neither the Master of Guiyuan Sect nor Qin Changqing spoke in the room for quite a while.
“Qin Changqing, will this really work?”
It took the Master of Guiyuan Sect a long time to finally ask.
Qin Changqing said, “It should have some effect, but you must accept me wholeheartedly. That’s a given.”
Full hearted acceptance is necessary.
For example, those witches became pregnant with Qin Changqing’s children and his rewards increased as a result.
However, up to this point, the witches have not yet received the system’s blessing.
Because they harbored ulterior motives for Qin Changqing, trying to lead him to the dark side.
The rewards from bearing his child and the system’s blessings are different.
Bearing his child only requires them not to reject Qin Changqing.
To enjoy the system’s blessing, they need to completely abandon their plan to lead Qin Changqing astray and completely accept him.
In a resigned voice the Master of Guiyuan Sect said: “Here you go!”
Then, the light in the room quietly disappeared.
The whole room was plunged into darkness.
Although this kind of darkness doesn’t impact Qin Changqing, a sweep of his divine consciousness made everything around him clear.
However, in this situation, he naturally couldn’t use his divine consciousness recklessly.
Even a cultivator’s eyes in darkness would see nothing.
The principle of sight is the same, it is dependent on visible light.
You can only see an object when light hits the object and reflects back into your eyes.
However, due to True Origin’s nurturing, the range of light a cultivator’s eyes can perceive is greatly increased.
Even some rays that only can be seen using special instruments, like infrared, can be seen by powerful cultivators if they make an effort.
However, unless they are cultivating, they usually won’t choose to see it. Having too many things in their line of sight is not a good thing.
Qin Changqing didn’t either, so his field of vision was still dark.
Sometimes, darkness is the best disguise.
And also a catalyst.
Just like now, as the room grew dark, the atmosphere in the room slowly began to change.
The Master of Guiyuan Sect fell silent after saying those three words.
Did she ever think that in her life, which was spent mostly on cultivation, she would long for a moment of emotional connection?
“Here you go…”
How could Qin Changqing proceed?
She couldn’t be blamed. Before this, the Master of Guiyuan Sect probably hadn’t even considered such a situation.
At this moment, the faint rustling sound of clothes touching the ground could be heard.
The sound was very soft, yet Qin Changqing caught it.
Although it was faint, it played on Qin Changqing’s heartstrings.
The Master of Guiyuan Sect has already…
Qin Changqing’s breathing unintentionally quickened.
Upon thinking about the Master of Guiyuan Sect’s stunning, mature, and yet noble and generous appearance, Qin Changqing finally decided with determination.
She has already…
“Qin Changqing, are we ready?”
Three days later, in the still-dark cave mansion, the voice of the Master of Guiyuan Sect echoed.
“I believe it’s still not the time.”
After glancing at the system panel, Qin Changqing said.
The Master of Guiyuan Sect stayed silent.
Then, another sound emerged.
Outside Guiyuan Sect, Master Butterfly Cloud was quietly waiting. Her face would occasionally redden, hinting at unknown thoughts.
Soon, a month passed. There was no movement from within; neither Qin Changqing nor the Master of Guiyuan Sect had emerged.
“It’s been a month, surely Qin Changqing and the Sect Master haven’t even started yet?”
Butterfly Cloud couldn’t help but think.
She and the Master of Guiyuan Sect were as close as mother and daughter, and she had a somewhat understanding of the Master of Guiyuan Sect’s character. She worried that the Master might feel embarrassed.
However, she also felt that with such an outstanding husband, the Master of Guiyuan Sect, who had met Qin Changqing previously, must have also been impressed by him.
Although the last time the Master of Guiyuan Sect met Qin Changqing, she served in the role of a “parent,” screening him for Butterfly Cloud.
But it also implied that the Master of Guiyuan Sect surely held Qin Changqing in high regard.
She had confidence in her husband’s excellence and appeal.
However, the only problem this time was that all seemed too rushed.
But delaying wasn’t an option either.
Because the Master of Guiyuan Sect’s time was running out.
The time was genuinely limited, not in terms of a broad time scale.
Otherwise, in the aspect of integration, when one says there’s not much time, it could mean there are still a few thousand years.
That’s already hundreds of generations of ordinary people.
The Master of Guiyuan Sect’s remaining time could possibly only be a few years, or even less.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be arranging her affairs in order.
So, Master Butterfly Cloud had to wait for another whole month.
It was now the second month.
Yet, there still was no movement from within.
This situation made Master Butterfly Cloud a little anxious. After all this time, there was still no movement. Neither had Qin Changqing come out.
Yet, she didn’t dare act rashly. What if she walked in while Qin Changqing and the Master of Guiyuan Sect were in the middle of…
That would be extremely embarrassing.
Still, she patiently waited again.
Inside the Guiyuan Sect, everything was as usual.
A few months were enough for ordinary people to experience many things, while in the Cultivation World, if nothing significant occurred, it was merely the blink of an eye.
But for Qin Changqing, it was not a blink of an eye.
For these two months, he had enjoyed himself fully.
Yes, he and the Master of Guiyuan Sect had been together for two full months.
After two months, the Master of Guiyuan Sect still remained uptight.
However, her reluctance brought a certain taste of its own to Qin Changqing.
But the Master of Guiyuan Sect still hadn’t received any benefits from the system.
It’s not a given that benefits will follow after such events.
The main issue was that both parties lacked an emotional foundation. Considering her relationship with Butterfly Cloud, akin to mother and daughter, there possibly were some internal barriers.
So, in this manner, another month passed.
