Chapter 287: Heartbound Platform

Bai He almost let the words pig brain slip out.

But after thinking about it, he changed his wording.

After all, this was his Second Senior Brother, he could not insult him.

Dan Zhu was actually left speechless by Bai He’s words.

"I know you still hold resentment because of what happened in the past, but have you truly investigated Xue Yan’s identity? You are just a coward. You are afraid to investigate. Afraid that Sister Yao Guang will truly stop liking you and end up with another man."

Dan Zhu had never expected that his Junior Brother who is the youngest in age would speak so directly and hit so precisely at the core of things.

Bai He had gone all out and continued.

"Second Senior Brother, some matters are clearly just small misunderstandings. Once the misunderstanding is cleared, everything can be resolved and light will break through the clouds. You are not someone rigid and inflexible. If you could even do something like snatching a bride, are you still afraid of anything else?"

"Junior Brother!"

"I know you are my Second Senior Brother. I should not be lecturing you. In principle or in reason, I should not! But now, listen to me... if Sister Yao Guang is truly heartbroken because of you, you will regret it later."

Dan Zhu tightened his palm.

Before he could respond, he suddenly felt his barrier begin to tremble.

Fear flashed across his eyes.

He immediately rushed toward the place where the barrier was being disturbed and an uneasy premonition rose in his heart.

The air was filled with a rich fragrance, familiar yet natural.

Red fallen leaves drifted from one direction.

Dan Zhu’s speed was extremely fast and in a blink of an eye he had already vanished.

What he saw was Yao Guang in a red robe as dazzling as blood itself.

Red leaves continuously scattered around her.

Dan Zhu understood that this was her cultivation power.

She was actually consuming her own cultivation in order to break his barrier.

Bai He’s words struck his heart like heavy stones.

Dan Zhu flashed forward, arriving behind Yao Guang.

He used his spiritual power to envelop her, then cut off the technique she was using to break the barrier, and caught her as they landed on the ground.

"Are you insane?"

"I will do as I say."

Her expression was stubborn and unyielding.

Dan Zhu clenched his hand. "Do whatever you want. I will listen to you."

He seemed to surrender instantly as if he had completely let go.

But Yao Guang felt that his sudden compromise was because of her death, which had forced him to yield.

"I don’t need it anymore."

Dan Zhu’s heart tightened.

Just as Bai He had said, he truly felt regret it now.

"I will take you back to Lingguang Sect. I will take you to meet senior brother and let him preside over our wedding. I will personally go to Yaowang Pavilion to propose marriage. If you are still not satisfied, I am willing to go to the Heartbound Platform and accept its trial for our marriage until heaven acknowledges us."

Heartbound Platform?

It was a kind of platform in this world that could receive blessings from heaven.

There were rarely two people who were fated to be together from the start.

If one of them persisted, they could go to the Heartbound Platform to cultivate through hardship.

If they gained its approval, they could continue their fate and renew their relationship.

Moreover, it was almost always successful and had never failed before.

From the way Dan Zhu said this, it was clear he was sincere.

"Heartbound Platform?"

"If I were not sincere, the Heartbound Platform would not bless us. Yao Guang, I surrender. Whatever you want, I will follow you."

Dan Zhu seemed to have accepted his fate and no longer resisting at all.

After returning, Bai He had not gone down the mountain for three days.

He did not know what was happening below the mountain.

His days were peaceful and leisurely, but Xu Feng would go down every day and bring back some news that Bai He thought was completely useless.

At this moment, he returned again.

"Master, Master..."

"What now?"

"The Heartbound Platform."

Bai He felt that this broken platform was probably some kind of demonic artifact.

Could a single place really be that powerful?

"Host, have you forgotten? Even monkeys can jump out of stones. Do you think it is powerful or not?"

That did seem a bit powerful.

"It can even mend the heavens."

Bai He paused again.

Maybe his perspective really was too narrow.

"What about the Heartbound Platform?"

"The Second Elder and Senior Yao Guang are going together to Mt. Ember to seek the blessing of the Heartbound Platform."

Bai He sighed.

But there should not be any problem, right?

In the novel, those two ended up together and even received the blessing of the Heartbound Platform.

"Master, Junior Brother."

"Senior Brother, you are here too."

Ye Shiyuan walked forward and sat down.

"The Heartbound Platform is very unusual. It is said to be a treasure left behind by the divine realm."

It really was a treasure from the divine realm.

That was exactly what the novel said.

"But Shiyuan, man can overcome fate. Sometimes the decisions we make ourselves are even more important."

Ye Shiyuan nodded.

"What Master says also makes sense. Does Master want to go see the Heartbound Platform?"

Bai He’s master froze for a moment.

From Ye Shiyuan’s meaning, he probably wanted to go with him to see that Heartbound Platform.

If they were blessed, that would be fine, but if they were not...

His heart became uneasy, not fully certain.

"Second Senior Brother and Sister Yao Guang have already gone, so we will not go join the excitement. My Senior Brother also gave an order that within one month, we must capture Gui Baozhou."

Yet several days had already passed and there was still no news at all.
