Chapter 2

MasterMaster, why are you here?!

Zhang Yis voice trembled a bit. For years, Yue Yaos heartlessness had been deeply ingrained in him, and any misstep would result in certain death.

Zhang Yi! You have disappointed me too much. I once thought that your future achievements might surpass mine, but you have fallen into emotions and desires! This is a dead end for you!

A flash of anger appeared on Yue Yaos delicate face, and her eyes were filled with disappointment.

Zhang Yi, seeing that Yue Yao did not directly attack him, was not as scared as before. He figured that since everything was already exposed, he might as well try to salvage the situation and find a way out.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Yi made up his mind and faced Yue Yao with an intense gaze, asking, Master, do you know how I spent these eighteen years?

Yue Yao furrowed her eyebrows, curious as to why Zhang Yi could not control his dao heart. Out of respect for our eighteen years as master and disciple, I will give you a chance to explain. But if you do not have a suitable reason, you know the rules of the Dao Sect. Regardless of your exceptional talent, I will sever your meridians and expel you from the sect!

Yue Yao remained as ruthless and decisive as ever, even in the face of her disciple whom she had been with day and night for eighteen years.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Zhang Yis heart rate increased. Although he had anticipated this scene, he was still somewhat panicked when facing it. But he had no choice now; he had to succeed in this confession or he might as well be dead.

Master, I know the consequences, but my love for you is like a moth to a flame. To be able to express my love in front of you, I would die without regret.

For these eighteen years, every move and expression of master has touched my heartstrings. From the moment I met master, my dao heart has been lost.

I know that master is worried that emotions and desires will disturb the dao heart, but does the ruthless way truly suit the dao heart? Should cultivators suppress their emotions at every turn?

If we cannot express our feelings to those we love, what is the point of cultivating the Dao?

Zhang Yis words were impassioned, and he even forgot his fear towards the end.

Yue Yao was taken aback by Zhang Yis words, but quickly regained her composure and coldly sneered, Nonsense! Emotions or desires only hinder the speed at which cultivators progress!

This was the principle that Yue Yao had always adhered to.

Completely unaffected, shes like an unbreakable steel woman, impossible to seduce. Zhang Yi thought bitterly.

He had already used all the sweet nothings he knew from his past life, but he felt completely powerless.

Have I failed? No! I have one last trick up my sleeve: the sacrificing myself to gain sympathy tactic!

Better to die trying than to give up!

Zhang Yis mind raced as he headed straight for the edge of the Forgotten River Cliff.

In light of our master-disciple relationship, I will not pursue todays matter. You may escape the death penalty, but you cant escape a living punishment!

Yue Yao quickly cleared her mind and said with a pure heart without any impurities.

Master, why dont you try to take a new path? Perhaps there is another world. All things in the world have emotions, why should we be emotionless?

Zhang Yi knew that Yue Yao was most concerned about cultivation, so he used it as a breakthrough point.

The heavens and the earth are heartless, and the great Dao is heartless. Emotions will only bind you while being heartless makes you invincible.

Yue Yao said solemnly, and her expression was cold, turning into a heartless fairy again.

May I ask who can truly be heartless, as the extreme of being heartless is to have emotions!

Since Yue Yao had said that she wouldnt kill him, Zhang Yi spoke with a bit more courage.

Master, I have been stuck in the middle stage of the Golden Core for a long time. Only by revealing my feelings to master can I break through. Master, you have been stuck in the Emperor Realm for a long time. Why not follow your heart?

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yi said seriously. Having been with Yue Yao for so long, Zhang Yi knew that only cultivation could pique her interest, so he played to her preferences.

Hearing this, a trace of emotion appeared on Yue Yaos proud face. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her eyes stared fixedly at Zhang Yi.

Buzz!

At this moment, the Heavenly Fate Map suddenly trembled violently. Accompanied by a surge of golden light, Yue Yaos character page on the screen suddenly became bright, and the words below turned golden.

[ Confession successful: cultivation unlocked, Heavenly Fate Box*1.]

In an instant, Zhang Yi felt the spiritual energy of the world pouring into his body, and his limbs were filled with strength. Every move he made contained the power of the great Dao. It was a long-lost, familiar yet strange feeling of power.

Finallyfinally unlocked!

Zhang Yis excitement could not be expressed in words. He finally felt the benefits of the so-called golden finger. ( TL: golden finger- cheat ability of protagonists )

After calming down, Zhang Yi found a palm-sized purple box with intricate runes carved on it in his dantian. At the top of the box were three big characters: Heavenly Fate Box.

My cultivation has returned, and the Heavenly Fate Box has appeared. The map has also lit up. Does this mean the confession was successful?

Zhang Yi remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he was ecstatic.

Looking at Yue Yaos expression which was still cold, Zhang Yi couldnt help but think, Master is reallya like a cold goddess, butI like it!

Master I think I might be breaking through soon.

Even through the surface of the box, Zhang Yi could feel the terrifying object inside. In order to make Yue Yao more convinced of his words, he decided to open the Heavenly Fate Box right here.
