I Would Be Your Compass

When people in that year's Suihui Wheel most often said that Xie Junze had become Dao companions with Si Nan, they said he was marrying far above his station.

Si Nan grew up on Xingzhi Mountain, one of its most gifted disciples.

She made a name for herself at a young age. During the Wentian Trial, she once severed her opponent's sword with a single stroke. Her biting sword qi pierced through the barrier and soared into the heavens, bringing frost to all fourteen provinces with one slash.

She obtained a divine weapon, defeated Chongming, and rose to become an elder.

Her name remained at the top of the Talents Ranking for a hundred years. She outshone countless rare prodigies, an existence others could only admire from afar.

At the time, Xie Junze was little known. The most remarkable thing about him was that the extremely discerning Swordheart Stone of Canglang Sect had specifically chosen him to be its protector.

So when Si Nan's senior brother sought him out and cautiously asked, "Would you be willing to become Dao companions with her?"

Even Xie Junze himself could hardly believe it.

But he answered without hesitation, "I would."

Because at that year's Wentian Trial, when people developed feelings for Si Nan,

he happened to be one of them.

Later, Si Nan was gravely injured and went into seclusion, while Xie Junze betrayed the Dao and turned demonic.

After two thousand years as husband and wife, they ultimately parted ways, and went a long time without seeing each other.

After emerging from seclusion, Si Nan resumed her post as Elder of Discipline. The first matter she handled was rescuing disciples who had been abducted while out on an expedition.

The cave was utterly dark. Si Nan approached with her sword and heard laughter from inside. Then someone said flippantly, "Get someone with real authority in your family to come talk to me."

She cleaved through the ward with one strike. Frost and snow covered her sword, and among the trembling demons she saw a man surrounded by them.

Si Nan asked coolly, "Xie Junze, do I have any authority here?"

With a calm, tender smile that seemed to welcome their reunion, Xie Junze called her by her childhood nickname:

"Of course, A Xiao. No one in the world has more authority than you."

Coming next: Arrow Cultivators, What's Your Problem?

Ji Mingjing summed up the three misfortunes of her trip down the mountain:

First, she chose a Stone-Shadow Wolf as her target. The giant wolf had hide like armor and was two cultivation ranks above her. Her arrow didn't draw blood, or even knock out a single hair.

Second, she picked a terrible day to go out and ran into a bunch of murderous outlaws. They could have just killed the wolf, so why did they have to kill people too?

Third, she met Li Shuying.

Ji Mingjing ranked the third misfortune as the worst of all.

Ever since she met Li Shuying, nothing good had happened to her.

Her beloved azure staff got stuck in the wolf's teeth, her cultivation was mysteriously sealed, and even her money pouch was swiped by a pickpocket.

Ji Mingjing: I'm furious. I need to bite into a Li Shuying to cool off.

Li Shuying readily admitted to all the charges Ji Mingjing had pinned on him.

He also summed up the three misfortunes that had befallen him since meeting Ji Mingjing:

First, he failed to hunt the Stone-Shadow Wolf.

Second, his cultivation was mysteriously sealed.

Third, he got stuck with a clingy tagalong.

Li Shuying ranked the third misfortune as the worst of all.

After Ji Mingjing finished writing her little list, she awkwardly exchanged it with Li Shuying. They read each other's lists, then both sneered and declared:

"If you've got the guts, stop following me!"

"Quit copying what I say!"

"If I ever talk to you again, I'm a dog!"

"Hmph!"
