Both My Parents Are Supremes—Why Should I Fear a Child of Destiny? - Chapter 33:

Chapter 33: Destined to Be Enemies

-Trinity Saint Sect, Chenyang Peak.

After conveying Su Ming’s words, Uncle Meng returned immediately to report. “Young Master, with this, Li Jianping probably won’t be able to pull any tricks anymore.”

Su Ming’s eyes were calm as he replied, “If he dares to try anything, I won’t hesitate to dismantle the entire Trinity Saint Sect.”

Luo Ningshuang, who was refining pills nearby, couldn’t help but feel curious hearing this. Su Ming had grown up in this sect, yet judging from his conversation with Uncle Meng, neither of them seemed to have the slightest sense of belonging to it.

Looking at Su Ming, Luo Ningshuang suddenly realized how alike they were.

She was born accompanied by a natural phenomenon and an innate Dao pattern on her forehead, yet in her parents’ eyes, she was an ominous sign. Worse still, being a girl, her parents chose to abandon her. If not for an elder of Jixia Academy who discovered her while following the anomaly, she might’ve died in the wilderness long ago.

From the moment she could remember, she had only ever cultivated, completely detached from worldly matters. If it weren’t for the Empress Yao Chi, she might’ve never truly understood the cruelty of the world.

Both of them were people who didn’t belong in the places they were raised.

Thinking this far, she finally began to feel a deeper curiosity toward Su Ming.

[Ding! Luo Ningshuang has developed feelings for the host. Gained 5,000 Destiny Points.]

The system prompt instantly stunned Su Ming.

Since Luo Ningshuang arrived, they’d hardly spoken. Why did she suddenly develop feelings for him? Could this be another case of accidentally winning someone over?

With an odd expression, Su Ming looked at her. Sensing his gaze, Luo Ningshuang also felt confused. The two looked at each other in silence for a moment.

Unable to bear the silence, Luo Ningshuang spoke first, “Su… Su Ming, is there something you wanted to ask me?”

“Just call me Su Ming. I was only wondering if you’ve gotten used to living here.”

“It’s much better than Jixia Academy. I’m very satisfied.”

After this brief exchange, they returned to silence.

Watching this, Uncle Meng grew anxious. Can’t you two say a few more words? Anyone who knows would understand you’re engaged. Anyone who doesn’t would think you’re just superior and subordinate.

Though on second thought, these two were strangely compatible. Not quite a match made in heaven—more like a thunderstruck pairing.

At this rate, when would the master finally get to hold a grandchild?

Just as Uncle Meng was thinking of giving Su Ming a hint to take the initiative, Su Ming asked, “Uncle Meng, have you found any results from the investigation I asked about?”

Since Su Ming had changed the subject to serious matters, Uncle Meng quickly gave up matchmaking and replied, “A little. That man Bai Lang confessed—Li Jianping ordered him to deliberately ignore you while guarding the Three Saints Pool, to let you take the Three Saints Golden Lotus.”

“Very good,” Su Ming nodded in satisfaction.

Just as he had guessed, it was Li Jianping who had arranged for him to sneak in, only to use it as leverage to demand more cultivation resources from Uncle Meng.

Thinking about all the resources his parents had entrusted to Uncle Meng being taken by the Trinity Saint Sect through all kinds of schemes made Su Ming furious. This time, he was determined to empty out the Three Saints Secret Realm.

“Oh right, Uncle Meng. After this trip to the Three Saints Secret Realm, I’ll be going into closed-door cultivation. I’ll leave Chenyang Peak in your care during that time.”

The Tongtian Tower was a trial left by his parents. No matter what, he had to go.

The resources from the Three Saints Secret Realm, combined with the Chaos Spirit Conversion Bottle, would be enough to help him break through to the 5th stage Longevity Realm in one go.

Once he reached that stage, he might even be able to stand toe-to-toe with a 1st stage Nirvana Realm cultivator in terms of power. However, in terms of control over spiritual Qi and other means, he would still fall short. After all, the Nirvana Realm represented complete mastery over heaven and earth’s spiritual Qi.

“Please rest assured, Young Master. I will definitely ensure the safety of Chenyang Peak.”

Su Ming nodded and turned to return to his room.

Soon, the spiritual Qi in the surrounding area began to surge into his room, even drawing from other nearby peaks.

The depletion of ambient spiritual Qi was extremely dangerous for alchemy. Noticing this, Uncle Meng rushed toward the Profound Yang Flame Cauldron.

Upon getting closer, he realized the spiritual Qi inside the cauldron was completely unaffected. This showed just how skilled Luo Ningshuang was in controlling spiritual Qi as a pill master.

By the time Uncle Meng reached her side, she had already completed refining this batch of Qi Condensation Pills and was shaping them.

“Senior, just now you and Su… Su Ming were discussing something. May I know what it was?”

Uncle Meng was about to decline but hesitated. Since Su Ming hadn’t avoided Luo Ningshuang when discussing it earlier, there was no reason to hide it now. So, he told her everything.

After hearing his account, Luo Ningshuang was stunned.

She never imagined that the Trinity Saint Sect would be so bold.

They clearly knew Su Ming had a Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouse backing him, yet they still dared to pull such schemes against him.

It was even worse than what Jixia Academy had done to her.

Su Ming hadn’t experienced any loss of talent or regression in cultivation. Why would the sect treat him like this?

From Liu Yueru’s attitude toward her to Li Jianping’s dealings with Su Ming, Luo Ningshuang’s image of high-ranking leaders in top sects was shattered.

She had previously heard Su Ming and Li Jianping talking and assumed Li Jianping was a decent person. But in hindsight, it was clearly a test.

Now that she knew some of Su Ming’s past, she was even more curious about her fiancé.

But just then, the long-silent Empress Yao Chi suddenly reemerged.

“You absolutely cannot be with him! You and he are destined to walk opposite paths. He is your natural enemy!”

This abrupt warning was due to Su Ming’s generosity in providing all the cultivation resources he had promised, which shortened the time needed for the Empress’s remnant soul to recover.

“Condensation, I’m begging you. Let’s leave here. Let’s hide somewhere else. In three years, I’ll help you rise to the top. You’ll become a peerless powerhouse in this world. I can even give you a place in the outer void.”

But upon hearing these words, Luo Ningshuang felt even more disgusted with the Empress Yao Chi.

She had heard similar words from Liu Yueru before.

“As long as you cultivate diligently, my position will one day be yours…”

That’s what Liu Yueru had once promised her. But what was the truth?

After she had been harmed by the Empress Yao Chi, Liu Yueru had cast her aside without hesitation.

But everything had a reason. Liu Yueru had abandoned her because she lost her dazzling talent and the aura of being a genius.

So then, what was the Empress Yao Chi’s reason for insisting she leave Su Ming?

“Empress Yao Chi, tell me why. Why must I leave Su Ming? Give me one reason!”
