Upon seeing Sāng Yì come out of seclusion, the sect master of Xuantian Sect was overjoyed. Noting the exceptional performances of both Sāng Yì and Dongfang Mingzhu during the defense of the sect, he called Sāng Yì, Dongfang Mingzhu, and Dongfang Mingyuan before him. "Sāng Yì, it seems your Ascension is not far off. Why not take Mingzhu as your Dao Companion before you ascend? Mingyuan, what do you think?"
Dongfang Mingyuan was somewhat torn. Although he strongly favored his sister being together with Sāng Yì, their parents were not around, and as an elder brother, he could not make such a decision on his own.
Sect Master Xīn Zǐ said with a touch of melancholy, "Sāng Yì was a child I rescued from the seashore, and I raised him like my own son. Once he ascends to follow you all, who knows if we will ever have the chance to meet again? Now that he and Mingzhu are deeply in love, I simply wish to witness their happiness with my own eyes. Mingyuan, can you grant me this wish?"
