Chapter 509 Golden Sprout Refuses

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao said no more. After all, everything else could only be discussed once one reached the True Immortal level.

She still needs a lot of time to reach the True Immortal realm. The higher one goes in the path of cultivation, the more difficult it becomes. Even though Lin Zhao is a genius who is about to reach the Integration stage at this age, she dares not say that she will reach the Tribulation Transcending stage or the True Immortal realm in the next few years.

In the later stages, the increase in spiritual energy is often not the most difficult hurdle. The most difficult hurdle is the state of mind. Back then, the Red Dragon Clan Chief chose to seal his cultivation and go to Qianlong City for a test of his state of mind in order to break through that level. As a result, he almost lost even his own daughter.

Qu Shu smiled: "You will merge with me, and our marriage contract can be dissolved. What do you think?"

The gentler Qu Shu's smile, the more things he had on his mind at that moment. Lin Zhao pondered for a moment, then answered as before, "It's up to you."

Qu Shu rarely saw Lin Zhao so cautious, and he understood something. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then let's withdraw. You are not the Lin Zhao of the past, and I am not the Qu Shu of the past either."

Qu Shu initially chose Lin Zhao because he valued her for one thing: Lin Zhao had a stubborn streak of taking responsibility for her promises. Such a person would never allow their partner to be in danger.

However, the purpose of this marriage agreement was to prevent the Tianhuang clan from directly binding him to Huangyue. Back then, he was not strong and his bloodline was not prominent, so he was subject to Tianfeng and the elders of the Tianhuang clan.

Just as he told Lin Zhao in the Divine Soul World, he had now broken through to the Nascent Soul stage before the age of one hundred. With his talent and cultivation, plus his relationship with Lin Zhao, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan could no longer influence his decisions too much.

He has already achieved his initial goal of gaining basic autonomy within the Tianhuang clan.

As for the second step, it can't be rushed.

Other considerations regarding the engagement...

If it were Lin Zhao back then, Qu Shu would have thought this marriage agreement was still necessary, but now...

Lin Zhao said she hoped he would be free, so he also hoped Lin Zhao would be free.

"When you reach the stage of fusion, the engagement will be terminated, Lin Zhao, and we will both be free."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao raised his hand and gave Qu Shu a high five in mid-air.

Then, Qu Shu ended the call between the two. Lin Zhao looked at his reflection in the now dark Tian Tong Mirror, looked up at a corner of the cave, and then shook his head.

After calming down for a while, Lin Zhao put a pill to repair his internal injuries into his mouth, walked out of the cave, and saw Jin Ya playing around with Fan Chen and Zi Yue below.

Jin Ya noticed Lin Zhao coming out and waved to him, "We're grilling dragon meat, want some?"

Lin Zhao chuckled, leaped up, and landed in front of the group: "Then let's go together."

Fan Chen and Jin Ya were busy grilling the meat, while Zi Yue, being more observant, observed Lin Zhao's expression for a while and asked curiously, "Master, did something bad just happen to you?"

Jin Ya, her mouth greasy from eating, said, "Of course! Lin Zhao and I were beaten so badly by this old geezer we were eating. How could we possibly recover?"

Although Fan Chen was a bit oblivious, he was still more perceptive than Jin Ya. He grabbed a skewer of meat and stuffed it into Jin Ya's mouth: "Eating won't shut you up, so hurry up and eat!"

When Lin Zhao heard Zi Yue's question, she didn't hesitate and directly told her about her situation with Qu Shu.

Jin Ya nodded in agreement: "Of those three, I think he's the most unreliable one because he's full of bad intentions. Ning Wengui isn't good either, and oh, that stinky fox Su Bai is no good either!"

In short, of these three, Qu Shu and Jin Ya are inherently incompatible due to their bloodlines, Ning Wengui's Purple Eyes and Glazed Body are not suitable for her to consume, Jin Ya doesn't like it, and as for Su Bai, it's purely a matter of incompatibility between spirit beasts.

Fan Chen said, "Since he brought it up, why is Master sad?"

Lin Zhao scratched his head, thought for a moment and felt that there was nothing he couldn't say: "In terms of my past and present lives that I can remember, he should be my first Daoist partner, and the one I want to take home to show my parents."

Zi Yue said, "If he's withdrawn, he's withdrawn. It's nothing serious about being his first Daoist partner. Master's future is still far away. Perhaps Master feels sorry for him and needs compensation?"

Lin Zhao laughed and said, "That's not the reason. He doesn't need me to make amends. I understand that once he achieves his goal, he may not need this engagement anymore. If he still needs it, I won't back down." Zi Yue exclaimed, "Then you really care about him, Master."

Lin Zhao rubbed her head: "You'll understand once you've become a Daoist partner. If the initial decision to be together and get along was just because of feelings, then becoming a Daoist partner means there are also responsibilities and obligations, no matter what the reason is."

"I was determined to break off the engagement before because I didn't know how it came about, but now there's no need for that."

She understood Qu Shu's scheme and his predicament.

Even if she doesn't break off the engagement, Qu Shu won't be bound by it.

Qu Shu made it very clear from the moment she regained her memory.

He wants to become the ruler of the Phoenix Clan.

If she were engaged to him, according to the rules of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan that Lin Zhao speculated about, a married Heavenly Phoenix would not be able to sit in this position.

Lin Zhao sighed.

Jin Ya chewed on the roasted meat: "Whatever you want, but I remember that the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is the most united of all divine beasts... But if it's Qu Shu, it doesn't seem so strange that he's not truly sincere."

Although Jin Ya and Qu Shu were not close, she had a frighteningly keen understanding of human nature.

After Lin Zhao finished speaking, she felt relieved. She finished the roasted meat in her hand and said, "If the Heavenly Phoenix Clan wants to punish me for this marriage, I will bear it all. After all, it can be considered that I, a poor girl, have ruined the best Heavenly Phoenix in their clan."

Jin Ya waved her hand: "The Heavenly Phoenix Clan probably wouldn't be happier if you ruined it all."

The Heavenly Phoenix is ​​not valuable in the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. When Lin Zhao was able to summon the Heavenly Phoenix Dharma Body, it meant that her status in the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was probably no lower than that of Qu Shu. At most, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan would give her a little test, but nothing else.

Ultimately, everything comes down to strength and capital.

Lin Zhao's demonstrated strength and resources were enough to make the increasingly weakened Tianhuang Clan concede.

Lin Zhao stood up: "I'm going back to cultivate now."

"Aren't you afraid of aggravating your injuries by practicing this technique now?"

"It's good to spend a little more time looking at the complete guide to talismans; we can't just waste our time."

Jin Ya rolled her eyes: "Go ahead, you cultivation maniac."

Lin Zhao moved and disappeared from the three of them.

As soon as Lin Zhao left, Fan Chen Ziyue automatically approached Jin Ya, looking at her with longing.

Jin Ya was completely baffled by their actions: "What are you doing?"

Fan Chen Ziyue asked curiously, "You've met Qu Shu Su Bai and Ning Wen Gui, right? Are they related to the master?"

Jin Ya scoffed, "There are plenty of men who have been involved with Lin Zhao. They... are among the more capable ones, but which one of them is worthy of Lin Zhao? I think none of them are!"

Zi Yue rested her chin on her hand: "None of them are worthy, but if Master likes them, it wouldn't be bad to take them all."

Jin Ya thought to herself, "That's certainly true, but..."

"I don't want a stepfather!"
