《Shared System》26. If you didn't seek death... 2
Advertisement
"Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Zheng Jie: Shi Xiang, you definitely must not abandon Liu Xun."
That was the first thing that come to Zheng Jie after he comes back.
"Wait for me-"
That was what he was about to type, but realizing just what he is doing at the last moment, the sect master stops himself in his track. His mind was full of conflicting emotion. Just what is this "Many Paths of Reincarnation" that affect such a master so deeply?
This matter, perhaps in this lifetime, Zheng Jie will never tell anyone.
For a moment, he felt "love".
The Many Paths of Reincarnation was just that, the moment Zheng Jie pressed that button once upon a time, he enters into the many paths of reincarnation. Remembering it, the life that he experience seems so close and yet so distance.
The moment the sect master activates the system's "Many paths of reincarnation", he experienced the life of another person.
The up and down of that person's life was supposed to be nothing in an enlightened saint's eyes, however how could it be that easy. Only when he left behind everything and starts living earnestly as a normal person, not the disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect's Sect Master, not someone who was enlightened since when he was young, does everything come into perspective.
The turbulent life, it was a short life. Not even stepping past 18 years of age, that was the life that the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect has lived, once he activated the Many paths of Reincarnation system. 18 years are short, not even a blink in a cultivator's eyes, especially not even in an enlightened saint's eyes, but only when he is the participant of such a story, was his heart moved.

For the first time in 2000 years, Zheng Jie's heart moves.
It was a fabricated life, nothing to him at all, but damn it-
He can't let go.
That was what the words "Wait for me-" mean.
The moment the heavenly saint realizes the fact is the moment he stops himself.
His heart has moved, but there are certain boundary that should not be broken.
Especially if the other life was a fabricated one, a long dream, a dream of love. The events in the dream could never have happened based on what Zheng Jie knows and the person in the dream would never recognize him.
They were not related in any way, and yet still...
His heart moves.
It was an unfamiliar feeling. Zheng Jie curses the unresponsive system for blessing him with a curse.
For the first time in years, there is a change in his cultivation. However, whether the change is good or bad, Zheng Jie could not decide yet. All he knows is that, there has been a change in him. He curses the system for playing such a trick on him, no matter how much it benefits him.
At that moment however, a bolt of lightning appears in the sky and strike down the Sword Saint Abode just as Zheng Jie curses the person behind his predicament. Naturally even a heaven sent calamity could not get through the mysterious aura that has covered the Sword Saint Abode for millenias, however it did get the sword saint to look.
Zheng Jie looks at the thunder and lightning, many thoughts ran through his head, but none of it is correct.
The heaven sent a calamity after he curses the person behind his strange fate, however how could the System be the one to send the Lightning when it is as unresponsive as the heaven above? The moment he curse the person behind his terrible fate, the heaven itself sent thunder and lightning down to punish him.

Zheng Jie does not understand, but he believes that everything has a cause. Looking at the faraway lightning, only worries fill his heart.
"Fairy Yijun: What are you talking about, you bastard Zheng Jie?"
At that moment someone completely unrelated interrupt the discussion.
...
"Eh? Fairy Yijun. What relationship does she have with this sect master?"
Yating who was reading the chat mutters.
On the other side of the mansion, her uncle Xingyue was listening. He has been listening for a few days trying to find any strange happening, but there was nothing, except for that girl doing strange thing in her room. But it's a lady room so he cannot be that discourteous, but now finally something happens.
"Fairy Yijun? Sect Master?... So it was really a cultivator who is behind this. Very well, let your father here see which one of you has the gut to touch my little niece."
With a fist, Lei Xingyue crushes the tea cup made from mysterious jade next to him into nothingness.
"Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Zheng Jie..." Yating continues to read the screen.
At that moment, Lei Xingue on the other side of the mansion almost spits out blood.
"Z-Zheng Jie? That Zheng Jie?" That Heavenly Saint, who is as difficult to meet as climbing toward the heaven? That Zheng Jie who if Lei Xingyue back then has begged for assistance then things may have changed? That Zheng Jie who is friend with the most important person in the whole Nine Cloud Kingdome right now? That Zheng Jie?
And more importantly, Lei Xingyue's niece even reads the man's title accurately. Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
There may be many "Heavenly Sword Sect" in the Nine Cloud Kingdom due to them opening branch sects everywhere. There is also many "sect master", but there is only one Zheng Jie who the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Zheng Jie who in this heaven and earth has always gone by that name.
With a handkerchief, Lei Xingyue tries to wipe his mouth
"Where did she heard that name? It is a name I haven't heard in a long long time..."
"Bastard Zheng Jie?..." At that moment Yating continues to mutter in her room, dealing critical damage to her uncle on the other side of the mansion.
At that moment, Fang Yijun does not fear death.
"Fairy Yijun: Damn you. I have been waiting a long time for this. Do you know what happened to me after listening to your advice? Do you know how horrible your sect is?!"
Fairy Yijun does not fear death.
