A master of both medicine and martial arts, he picked up a beautiful CEO as his wife.

"The letter was opened, and I could recognize the words."

The fact that you were able to open this door and recognize this letter means that you have successfully merged with the primordial spirit and returned after overcoming your tribulation. Master congratulates you in advance!

Just reading this sentence made Ye Feng's nose sting with tears!

That's just the kind of person my master is. Even if he's leaving you a letter, giving you his last instructions, the first thing he'll think of is praising you: "You've got the timing right!"

He composed himself and continued reading:

"Your constitution, imbued with the essence of Yang, is something you were born with; it is your very nature. Back then, the moment your master found you in the mass grave, you were already on the verge of death, suffering from a cold ailment caused by excessive Yang. People think that Yang is the most powerful and fiery, but they don't know that when things reach their peak, they reverse; when Yang reaches its extreme, Yin arises. This is the reason for your calamity. It wasn't imposed on you by anyone, but because you were born with an unusual constitution, destined for such a calamity from birth."

Ye Feng panted heavily for a few moments.

Peak Sun.

It turns out that his strange constitution and the death calamity that had plagued him for years were actually derived from his own genes.

It wasn't someone who framed him. Wasn't someone hostile towards him? It wasn't them who harmed him.

This is simply a case of yin arising from yang, and decline inevitably follows extreme prosperity.

He thought of the excruciating, bone-chilling cold he had felt during the attacks of his death calamity over the years. Even though he was burning with such a domineering furnace of peak Yang True Fire, once that Yin energy counterattacked, the cold was so intense that it could freeze his internal organs into chunks of ice.

He used to think it was the resentment of his enemy, or a curse planted on him by some underworld sorcery.

Now we know that it's simply a case of yin arising from yang, and decline following the extreme of prosperity.

It was a rather bland answer, but he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief upon returning.

He had secretly speculated about this when he was tormented by the calamity and felt like he was dying and coming back to life countless times.

Could there be another story behind how my master saved me? Was my life already part of someone else's game from the very beginning?

Now, the master's letter has shattered all these speculations.

"I saved you, taught you, and protected you, simply because I cherish your genius, and even more so because... we are kindred spirits. Remember, throughout my teaching journey, you must not have any wild thoughts."

Ye Feng's hand holding the letter trembled slightly.

Treat him like a son!

Eight words that his master never uttered to him once while he was alive. Life in the mountains was tough on him; his master was harsh in punishment but even more stingy with praise. He secretly wondered, what did his master really consider him? A disciple? A successor? Or just a quack doctor picked up by chance?

It turns out that the words that hadn't been spoken were kept in the master's heart until today, when he was finally willing to tell them quietly through a letter.

The short line of text was like a warm hand, gently soothing the wound in his heart that he had never known before.

He continued reading.

In the last part of the letter, the master's handwriting suddenly became very solemn.

"Feng'er, there's something I've kept from you for many years, and I should tell you today."

That day, Master sent you down the mountain to train and find "pure yin" to avert your death. You searched in Dongyang many times, making mistakes several times. Did you ever blame me for giving you incorrect road signs?

Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat.

In the first volume, in order to find the 'pure yin' that could relieve Ye Feng's death calamity, Ye Feng had already looked for the wrong people and gone through many detours. He was once very puzzled as to why his master did not know what 'pure yin' was.

At that time, he also complained a lot. His master sent him down to gain experience, but only gave him three words. What does "pure yin" mean? Didn't he even draw a picture for him to see? It made him wander around in a daze for several days.

I thought even the master didn't know what it looked like.

"To be honest," the letter read, "I've always known who Chunyin is!"

Ye Feng paused in his breathing.

"It's that Miss Lin who shares a similar aura with you."

The phrase "the darkest place is under the lamp" seemed to strike his mind like a bolt of lightning.

If Master actually knew it was Lin Yuqing, then all the detours and hardships Ye Feng encountered during the past six months of going down the mountain were deliberately kept secret by Master, who made Ye Feng experience them on his own!

"Why didn't Master tell you?" The letter seemed to have already foreseen this question he would have: "Because you have to cultivate this karmic connection yourself. If I had told you earlier, the relationship between you two would only be that of a patient and a doctor, just a prescription. But if you find her step by step in this world, protect her, and take responsibility for her with your life, then the karmic connection can be established, and the union can be achieved."

Feng'er, the union of our meridians is not just a matter of martial arts; it is a matter of our true destinies. We are two threads tied together, and this matter cannot be forced or calculated; we can only follow it.

Don't you understand some of the hard-earned lessons I've learned?

Ye Feng held the letter in his hand for a long time without saying a word.

He got it.

The seemingly vague guidance given by the master over the past six months was actually a carefully planned scheme. He hid the most important secret in the darkest corner of the room, so that Ye Feng could personally take Lin Yuqing into his life step by step.

Ye Feng turned his head to look at Lin Yuqing on the side.

Lin Yuqing tilted her head, looking at him with a bewildered yet concerned expression. The pearl lamplight in the hall illuminated her face, making her appear incredibly gentle. It was like a dream.

He had been looking at this face for over half a year. It was the face he saw in the warehouse back then, filled with fear and panic.

And now? This woman who can fight alongside him and resist powerful enemies! The woman's face that has grown little by little on her face! It has grown to the very core of his heart, and he can no longer move it, nor can he bear to move it even a little bit.

But! Master has already seen what's so precious to him?

They actually kept it in mind all this time?

From the moment he first met her in the warehouse, someone had already tied them together by fate...

That rainy night, in the abandoned warehouse, he rescued a woman and took her home. At the time, he thought it was just a simple act of kindness, saving someone.

But he never imagined that his act of picking her up would lead him to fight to the death with her, a bond that would never be broken.

The master found him that night in the mass grave at the foot of Nirvana Mountain; many years later, he found her in a warehouse in Dongyang.

The previous time I picked it up, and the next time, decades and thousands of miles apart... Looking back now, it seems like it was all arranged by the same pair of hands beforehand...

Ye Feng's eyes started to burn again.

However, this time it wasn't tears of sadness, but rather a warm and reassuring feeling of regaining something.

……

"Are you trying to ask how your master discerned your abilities?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I want to know."

Ye Feng turned to look at Xiao Zhi, "When exactly did Master start observing the connection between you and me? Why is it only now that I've become aware of it?"

Xiaozhi smiled, her eyes sparkling. "Because you don't know, Master actually knows the most about our story. From the very beginning, he's been secretly watching you two, and he guessed a long time ago that one day you would find a woman, and he would give her to you. Then you would fight alongside that woman!"
