The Pear Blossom Courtyard was a quaint retreat nestled halfway up Taiyuan Peak, surrounded by countless pear trees.
Though it was already September and the pear blossoms had long since fallen, the branches were heavy with a rare kind of green pear — no larger than a child’s fist, their skins translucent like jade, exuding a rich and intoxicating fragrance.
Xiao Jinse sat leisurely on the soft bench beneath the eaves, idly gazing at the shimmering green pears hanging from the branches.
Her mood was complicated—a tangled mix of worry and anticipation.
She was torn between fearing that Gao Xian would not come and fearing that he actually would.
The ancient master had sent her to seek Gao Xian's guidance.
After much thought, Xiao Jinse suspected that the true intention behind her mission was for them to cultivate together in dual cultivation.
Within the Joy Sect, there were two fundamental secret teachings: the Nine Heavens’ Su Nu Scripture and the Nine Heavens’ Xuan Nu Scripture.
Among these, the Su Nu Scripture was the true path of dual cultivation, while the Xuan Nu Scripture upheld the pure cultivation path.
