Chapter 21 The Villainous Female Supporting Character in Immortal Cultivation (3)
Although she already knew the male lead's name, Xia Mingwei still wanted to roll her eyes at this old man of fate after hearing Mo Yuan's answer, silently speechless. Just a beggar's name, yet he made it sound so extraordinary; why didn't he just call himself Long Aotian?
Unlike Xia Mingwei, when Nan Hua Zhenren heard Mo Yuan's answer, he was first stunned, then stroked his beard, "Your name is not bad! Who gave you this name?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan said nothing, but simply lowered his head silently.
Master Nan Hua, realizing he had touched on a sore spot, quickly changed the subject. He cleared his throat: "Since you've offered your help and now ask for my assistance, I'll take you back to my sect and give you a place to stay temporarily. What do you say?"
Mo Yuanren remained silent, his head bowed, and no one noticed the fleeting look of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Seeing that things had taken a significant turn for the better, Xia Mingwei was overjoyed. Sure enough, without her favor, Mo Yuan would never have had the chance to become a disciple of Master Nanhua.
However, this ending was expected to occur without any surprises. But then, an unexpected event happened. Not long after Xia Mingwei finished mentally complaining about this, she was controlled by the Heavenly Dao Elder to speak.
She tugged at Nan Hua Zhenren's sleeve: "Father, I feel that he does not seek to repay kindness, which shows his noble character. You can take him as your disciple and teach him carefully! I think that given time, he will definitely make a name for himself!"
After hearing his beloved daughter's words, Master Nanhua couldn't help but stop and think about the feasibility of this matter.
After thinking for a long time, he agreed with Xia Mingwei's words. He picked Xia Mingwei up and smiled, "Since Weiwei has said so, then your father will accept this disciple. In the future, there will be one more person to protect Weiwei. Are you happy, Weiwei?"
After Master Nan Hua finished speaking, Xia Mingwei felt the shackles that had been binding her disappear.
But Master Nan Hua had already spoken and made a promise, so he certainly couldn't easily go back on his word. Xia Mingwei could only force a smile that looked more like a grimace, "Father, if I said that everything I just said was null and void, would you believe me?"
Master Nanhua smiled and patted Xia Mingwei's head, patiently saying, "Weiwei, today I want to teach you a lesson: whatever promise you make, you must do your best to keep it, understand?"
The principle was simple and easy to understand, but Xia Mingwei just didn't want to easily comply with this old man of fate. Being coerced and forced to do things against her own will felt awful.
Seeing that Xia Mingwei still looked sullen after he said those words, Master Nanhua had no choice but to continue explaining to her, "Weiwei, the principle I just taught you actually has another, deeper meaning. Weiwei, do you know what we cultivators value most?"
Upon hearing Master Nanhua's question, Xia Mingwei resembled a student unexpectedly called upon by the teacher in class. She stood stammering to the side, unsure of what to say.
Seeing Xia Mingwei's expression, Master Nanhua continued, "Weiwei, what cultivators value most is not talent, but the bonds between people. I just agreed to take Mo Yuan in, not only for you, but also for me!"
These words left Xia Mingwei even more confused. "Father, for you?"
Master Nan Hua nodded. “Today, Mo Yuan saved you, thus sowing the seeds of karma. My offer of repayment is to settle this karmic debt. Although his request to take you in today was somewhat presumptuous, it is not a big deal for me! Once a cultivator has karmic ties, they are destined to settle them properly! Otherwise, it will turn into inner demons in the future, only adding more suffering to their cultivation! If I do not grant his wish today, what will I do if he makes even more outrageous demands in the future?”
This was something Xia Mingwei hadn't expected; it turned out that Master Nanhua had such profound reasons for handling things this way.
She lowered her head, pondering the path she would take in the future. "Heaven has been pushing the main storyline forward, and judging from what has happened today, it will not give up until it achieves its goal! I can only modify the original plot to the best of my ability!"
Having figured out this key point, Xia Mingwei felt her motivation return! Various ideas flashed through her mind, and soon she settled on one.
Doesn't Heaven insist that his father accept this son of Heaven's own? Then she'll grant his wish! But he can forget about any future benefits or treatment!
Moreover, she had a brilliant idea in mind and planned to act on it immediately.
Thinking of this, she immediately slipped out of Nan Hua Zhenren's arms! She completely ignored Nan Hua Zhenren's calls from behind: "Weiwei, where are you going?"
Xia Mingwei ran all the way, and by the time she reached her destination, she was drenched in sweat. Fine, glistening beads of sweat covered her forehead, but her eyes sparkled in the sunlight.
By the time Master Nanhua arrived, she had already taken care of most of the matter.
"Weiwei, what are you doing here?" Master Nanhua frowned, his eyes filled with confusion.
It turned out that Xia Mingwei had arrived at the slums of this town. Pointing to the sallow-faced and emaciated children in front of her, Xia Mingwei said to Master Nanhua, "Father, I just asked about these people. They are all orphans. Can we take them back with us?"
Her eyes sparkled in the sunlight, her watery gaze fixed on you, making it impossible for you to refuse!
Seeing his beloved daughter's expression, Master Nanhua felt his heart melt! He could only quickly say, "Alright, alright! I promise you!"
However, the two made no attempt to conceal their conversation from the male protagonist, Mo Yuan. Mo Yuan watched the father and daughter's decision, silently clenching his fists. The scene was extremely secluded, so no one noticed Mo Yuan's expression. He lowered his head, his dark eyes fixed on the ground; no one knew what he was thinking.
At that time, he was just a lonely and helpless beggar in the eyes of others, so naturally he did not attract much attention from others.
And so, in a small place where even the forces of fate couldn't stop her, she added a dramatic and unforgettable chapter to the story. No one could have imagined that it was this tiny butterfly, by flapping its wings, that would ultimately rewrite the fate of the world!
