After Severing Her Emotions, the Whole Sect Was Overwhelmed with Grief - Chapter 91:
Chapter 91: Immortal Fan Tian Arranges a Marriage for Bai Ying
At that moment, the Radiant Sun Sect Master felt as if his scalp was tightening, as if someone were mercilessly pulling it taut. A numb and terrifying sensation spread across his head. Regret flooded his heart like a tidal wave, almost drowning him completely.
Though he still tried hard to convince himself that Immortal Qin Hua’s prophecy couldn’t be wrong, as he looked at the scene unfolding before him, how could he not doubt it?
Bai Ying was already in the late stage Golden Core Realm, and now she had been chosen by Immortal Fan Tian.
How could she possibly be stepped on by Ruan Xinyou in the future?
No matter how he thought about it, it seemed impossible. With such cultivation speed, even if Ruan Xinyou whipped her horse to the limit, she could never catch up.
At that moment, Immortal Fan Tian spoke again to everyone present, “From now on, Bai Ying is my successor. You must not show her any disrespect. I will entrust my Spirit Grass Garden to her, and from today on, you are to address her as Garden Master.”
As soon as he said this, the whole place erupted in astonishment.
Although the Spirit Grass Garden looked like just a simple garden, and its stock of spirit grasses didn’t seem as abundant as a sect’s treasury, its true value lay in the sheer variety and rarity of the herbs it contained.
Even the extremely rare ninth-grade spirit grasses were there. Just consuming one could save a cultivator hundreds of years of cultivation time and allow them to break through rapidly.
The Chaos Heavenly Spirit Pill that the Demon Lord once used to bet against the major sects was refined from such ninth-grade spirit grasses. Now that Immortal Fan Tian was also passing various pill-refining secrets to Bai Ying, to her, pills like the Chaos Heavenly Spirit Pill—which others would fight to the death for—could be refined casually.
This was terrifying!
With all of this, Bai Ying reaching the Soul Formation Realm was already guaranteed. If her fortune was strong enough, even reaching the Void Refinement Realm like Immortal Fan Tian himself wasn’t impossible.
Just imagining it made everyone’s hearts burn with jealousy.
Xiao Yu stared blankly at Bai Ying, feeling as if she had drifted far, far away, beyond his reach…
“But Bai Ying,” Immortal Fan Tian turned to her and said, “the Spirit Grass Garden also has its own rules. The higher your cultivation, the higher the level of spirit grasses you can access. As for the ninth-grade spirit grasses, you must at least reach the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm before you can unlock them, so you must not neglect your cultivation.”
“Yes, Master Immortal!” Bai Ying answered seriously.
Immortal Fan Tian smiled kindly at her and teased, “After receiving so many things from me, you’re still calling me Immortal?”
Bai Ying was stunned. She had heard that Immortal Fan Tian never took disciples, but now it was clear he intended to accept her. However, Bai Ying already had a Master. She wasn’t sure if Xuanyuan Chen would be angry. Subconsciously, she turned her head to look at Xuanyuan Chen, only to see him nodding at her frantically. Bai Ying immediately cupped her fists and bowed to Immortal Fan Tian, saying, “Thank you, Master!”
Immortal Fan Tian laughed heartily. “Good! Good!”
He glanced at Xuanyuan Chen and chuckled, “Don’t worry, I won’t steal your disciple.”
He affectionately patted Bai Ying’s head and said, “Work hard, little one.” As he spoke, his entire figure began to grow faint.
Finding a successor had been Immortal Fan Tian’s only obsession for all these years, and it was this obsession that had kept him anchored to the world. Now that he had fulfilled it, it was time for him to fade away…
Before he disappeared completely, he took out a bamboo slip and handed it to Bai Ying. “This was signed long ago when I saved the Lin Clan. Their patriarch and I agreed that if I ever found an inheritor, they would marry one of their direct descendants to my successor. This way, the entire Lin Clan would protect my successor, and no one would dare to bully them.”
Immortal Fan Tian had worried about his successor’s future after his disappearance, so he had made a deal with a powerful family—the Lin Clan—to ensure Bai Ying’s safety through marriage.
“Once you activate this bamboo slip, someone from the Lin Clan will immediately appear here. Their youngest direct descendant now should be a youth named Lin Yuan. He’s a talented genius too, and would be well-matched with you. Forming a Dao partnership with him would be ideal.”
Bai Ying hadn’t expected Immortal Fan Tian to have even arranged a marriage for her.
Xiao Yu, upon hearing this, completely froze, feeling his heart seize with sharp pain. He had been leaning on his fellow sect members, too weak to move from his injuries, but now he gripped his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms.
The Lin Clan was the most powerful clan in the Central State, even stronger than many sects. Marrying into the Lin Clan meant being shielded by their power—something countless cultivators could only dream of.
Xiao Yu had repeatedly tried to convince himself that he loved Ruan Xinyou and that she was the best choice for him. But now, hearing with his own ears that Immortal Fan Tian had personally arranged for Bai Ying to marry Lin Yuan, he suddenly felt an intense, almost suffocating pain in his chest.
He had met Lin Yuan before. That youth was indeed a prodigy, an excellent match for Bai Ying…
Just imagining the two of them standing together made Xiao Yu feel unbearably miserable, as if he couldn’t breathe.
This wasn’t like when the Sect Master had casually suggested that Bai Ying marry Lin Yizhi—it was Immortal Fan Tian himself, personally arranging the marriage!
And the bamboo slip Bai Ying now held was their actual marriage agreement!
Xiao Yu stared fixedly at Bai Ying, his mind flooding with memories of everything that had happened between them. From Bai Ying’s joyful excitement when she first met him, to the later tension between them, every moment replayed vividly in his mind.
Finally, his memory froze on the image of Bai Ying wearing a wedding robe, wanting to marry him.
He remembered that robe clearly—Bai Ying had sewn it herself, stitch by stitch, with her own hands.
At that time, he had thought Bai Ying was foolish, thinking she was naive to take everything so seriously while he toyed with her feelings. He had even thrown away the wedding robe she had given him without a second thought, treating it as garbage.
But now, at this very moment, he couldn’t help but wonder—if back then he hadn’t cruelly mocked her, if he had truly married her, what would things have been like?
If so, Bai Ying would be his Dao partner now… she would belong to him.
