Chapter 1327: Karma

Right from the beginning, Su Zimo did not attack and merely watched coldly from the sidelines.

The thought that he had suppressed initially resurfaced.

Actually, when he sensed that rare determination of the Martial Dao from Beiming Xue earlier on, Su Zimo had already thought of taking her in as a disciple.

However, he reconsidered because his identity was unique.

He had offended many super sects and primordial races. If he appeared in the cultivation world, he would definitely be hunted down!

It was difficult for him to protect himself. If he were to accept a disciple, he might bring upon a calamity for the latter!

In reality, given Su Zimo’s capabilities, he was long qualified to take in disciples.

All these years, he had not done it because he was worried that he would attract trouble and implicate his disciples.

But now, after everything that happened to Beiming Xue, a mysterious feeling grew in him and he finally made up his mind to accept a disciple!

Beiming Xue was like him back in Ping Yang Town.

He watched everything coldly from the sidelines, just like Die Yue did in the past.

It was a mysterious and indescribable feeling of fate.

More importantly, Beiming Xue cultivated the Martial Dao and rescued him from the wild currents of the void—that was equivalent to saving his life!

She picked him up the same way he picked Die Yue up back then! From there on, he obtained an opportunity and stepped onto the path of cultivation!

In fact, Beiming Xue’s experience was similar to his.

Everything was a freak combination of karma and reincarnation, as though everything was predetermined.

Now that Su Zimo was tainted by the Life Severing Curse and had no clue how to resolve it, he might as well stay in Beiming Town for the time being.

“Sister, are you alright?”

Beiming Ao asked with concern.

Although Beiming Xue did not reveal any sadness the entire time, Nangong Yu’s words were truly hurtful!

“It’s fine,”

Beiming Xue smiled.

Beiming Ao was finally relieved when he saw his sister smile.

“Sister, don’t worry, there’s three more years. I’ll definitely cultivate well! Dongfang Xuan, Dongfang Zhi and Nangong Yu. I won’t let any of them off!”

Beiming Ao clenched his fists and swore.

“Yes, little brother. I believe in you.”

Beiming Xue nodded.

“Sister, I have to seize the time to head to the main hall of the clan and cultivate. There’s a chance that I might not return much during this period of time. Can you survive all by yourself?” Beiming Ao asked.

“It’s fine, don’t worry about me,”

Beiming Xue said, “Go and cultivate. You don’t have to come back to visit me during this period of time either. This is Beiming Town and nothing major will happen. It will just be people from the three aristocratic families coming and going.”

Beiming Ao nodded.

Immediately, as though he recalled something, he looked at Su Zimo who was not far away and frowned, hollering, “Hey you, aren’t you leaving yet?”

Beiming Xue’s heart softened when she saw that Su Zimo looked frail and his face was gaunt and yellow. “Little brother, go on and cultivate. I’ll take care of Mr. Su’s matter.”

Beiming Ao nodded hesitantly. “That works too. If anything happens, sister, call for me at the clan’s grand hall.”

“Yes,”

Beiming Xue nodded.

Beiming Ao glared at Su Zimo fiercely one last time before turning to leave and disappeared before long.

Beiming Xue watched him leave before turning around slowly. She gazed at the huge mess in the courtyard in silence and her eyes gradually reddened.

Finally, she squatted down slowly and hugged herself with both arms before bursting into tears!

This young girl did not show any fear when she was bullied by the Dongfang aristocratic family.

She did not cry despite being mocked and wronged by Nangong Yu.

However, after the Dongfang aristocratic family, Nangong Yu and her young brother left, she still bawled to release her pent up emotions and grievances!

She was only 15 years old after all and had endured too much!

Su Zimo merely stood at the side without heading up to console her.

However, a look of admiration flashed through his eyes.

A long time later, the sobbing gradually stopped.

Beiming Xue reached out and wiped away the tears on her face. She stood up and couldn’t help but blush when she saw Su Zimo looking at her.

“I’m sorry, I’ve caused you to witness a joke.”

She said,

Earlier on, she was upset and could not help but forget that Su Zimo was still around.

Su Zimo smiled gently. “It’s fine.”

“Where are you headed, Mr. Su? If it’s nearby, can I escort you back?” Beiming Xue asked.

Su Zimo shook his head. “If it’s convenient, I intend to stay here for a period of time. I wonder if you…”

“I’m alright with it,”

Beiming Xue said, “There are some empty rooms here. However, something like this might happen again in the future. I’m afraid it might disturb you.”

“It’s nothing much,”

Su Zimo waved it off. “I don’t care.”

Beiming Xue frowned slightly.

Although Mr. Su was a mortal, he knew quite a few things about the cultivation world.

Furthermore, he showed no fear towards everything that happened today!

If it was any other ordinary mortal, notwithstanding everything else, they would be scared out of their wits at the sight of those menacing spirit beasts and demons!

However, Mr. Su seemed like he was fine.

Yet, he did not seem like he was a cultivator either.

“What a strange person.”

Beiming Xue was puzzled but did not think too much about it.

For some reason, she had an inexplicable sense of trust in this green-robed man, as though she believed that he would definitely not hurt her.

“What are they talking about when they referred to the Beiming aristocratic family?”

Su Zimo asked.

Beiming Xue thought for a moment and did not hide anything. “In the ancient era, there were initially four aristocratic families in the South Region—Dongfang, Nangong, Ximen and Beiming. However, later on, the Beiming aristocratic family gradually declined and did not rise again.”

“In the ancient era, the Beiming aristocratic family was comparable to the three great aristocratic families and had a hundred million clansmen. Unfortunately, this small town is the only thing left now.”

Beiming Xue laughed in a self-deprecating manner. “Even so, the three aristocratic families refused to let Beiming Town off and came by from time to time to loot it.”

“They are looking for the secret guarded by the Beiming aristocratic family?”

Su Zimo asked in a testing manner.

“Yes,”

Beiming Xue replied, “It’s said that our family has protected a shocking secret for generations. However, I don’t know about it nor has anyone told us. It’s the same for the other clansmen.”

“All these years, the three aristocratic families have snatched away the treasures, cultivation techniques and secret skills of the Beiming aristocratic family. Even Beiming Town has been dug up but no secret has been discovered.”

Pausing for a moment, she continued, “The reason why the three aristocratic families left our Beiming clansmen alive was because they had hopes of discovering that so-called secret from us.”

“Fufu… if there was truly a shocking secret, it would have been discovered a long time ago. Why would it be hidden for so long?”

Su Zimo nodded.

However, that rumor was not entirely bad for the Beiming aristocratic family.

If not for that rumor, the Beiming aristocratic family would have been destroyed long ago without a single clansman remaining!
