IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please don't hold too high of expectations
A man clad in black and purple appeared out from the trees, he immediately spotted Zi Hua and stood there vigilantly.
"Who are you?" The man questioned.
"Before asking who someone else is shouldn't one introduce oneself first?" Zi Hua opened her mouth and rebuked.
"Apologies then, my name is He Li, you?"
"Zi Hua"
The two of them did not mind giving their names since the other party's existence in Death Canyon proved that they were not your run in the mill cultivator, even those above Martial Sovereign may not dare to enter Death Canyon and manage to last for a day unscathed, as long as their interests don't conflict, it would be best to stay on each others' good side.
"So... where you from?" Zi Hua asked.
"Starlight Continent, but I left there about 10 years ago, you?"
"Same but I haven't left for that long"
"Oh, I don't see people like me and you a lot"
"So you left when you were 8?" Zi Hua managed to get his bone age with the help of Truth's eye.
"Yeah, how did you know?" Zi Hua was about to reply but got interrupted, but she was not the only one that got interrupted.
'Master, let me out please!!!' This time it was not Xiao Hong but rather Xiao Shen.
'Xiao Shen, this guy is dangerous'
'Don't worry trust me, master'
'Okay then' Zi Hua relented, Xiao Shen never asked for much and was well behaved and sensible so Zi Hua fulfilled his request. (Xiao Hong: What is this favoritism!?)
Meanwhile, another similar conversation was taking place.
'Master, let me out please!!!"
'Xiao Ling, this lady is dangerous'
'Don't worry trust me, master'
'Okay then' It was surprising how similar their conversations were.
He Li allowed her since she rarely asks for anything.
Immediately, two children, a shota and loli, appeared.
"Xiao Ling!"
"Xiao Shen!"
The two kids immediately ran towards each other and gave each other a big hug.
"I missed you so much" Xiao Ling cried.
"Same, we haven't met for a million years!" Xiao Shen agreed.
Their masters stared at them, dumbfounded.
"You can see them?" The two asked simultaneously.
Who would've known that such a fated meeting would occur.
"Oh, sorry master, let us explain"
"In the beginning of time, the Heaven-defying artifact was created, however it split into two to represent Yin and Yang"
"Correspondingly, two artifact spirits were also born, Xiao Ling represents Yin and I represent Yang, our masters will be the opposite gender" The two explained, however, they left out something crucial and started scheming the two's fate together.
The two owners of the Heaven-defying artifact are fated to be...
All they needed to do was to do a little scheming to bring the two together.
Hehehe~
"Oh" The two got a hold of the situation after the explanation.
Xiao Shen and Xiao Ling sensed each other and were eager to reunite so they didn't leave the time to explain just then.
"If I had known that we were so similar then I would've not been so reserved" He Li said upon his realization.
"Since both of our artifact spirits are close then I won't dally anymore and get straight to the point, what are you here for?" He Li questioned.
"I won't lie to you, Xiao Shen's previous master which is also my master (shifu) was the Supreme Sovereign, my master had scattered the flame fragments which she had told me to collect by finding the maps, I'm here for the flame fragment, now you?" Zi Hua didn't hold back and told someone apart from those who had a contract with her, her entire situation for the first time, their spirit artifacts made them be fated to not be at each other's throat since she could tell that both of them cared about their spirit artifacts greatly.
(A/N: The context in 'Xiao Shen's previous master' refers to owner whereas in 'my master' it refers to shifu which means a master who teaches you)
"Also, to answer your earlier question, I used something called Truth's eye to attain your bone age"
Warning: The next several chapters will be super cringe worthy and cheesy.
THERE'S AN IMPORTANT NOTICE AT THE END OF ALL THE CHAPTERS, IF AT ANY POINT WHEN READING THROUGH THE 20 OR SO CHAPTERS YOU FEEL LIKE IT'S TOO CRINGY FOR YOU PLEASE AT LEAST GO TO THE LAST CHAPTER, IT'S IMPORTANT.
