Chapter 2881
Zhang Weixi ran continuously up the mountain, cheering herself on in her heart. She could not slow down.
Thinking of her brother who had sacrificed himself for her, she wiped away a tear. She would return. The Zhang family would pay when she came back. It would be time for revenge.
"We see her. She is right ahead," a voice called from behind.
Zhang Weixi never expected to run all the way to a cliff edge. Looking at the people approaching, despair filled her eyes. Was heaven trying to destroy her? Why was fate so unfair?
"Zhang Weixi, come back with us now. If you agree to marry in her place, we will forget the past," a woman stepped out from the group.
"Zhang Baozhu. You legitimate branch refused to marry a fool, so you wiped out my whole family. You killed my parents and harmed my brother. Now you want me to marry in your place? Do you really think heaven does not exist?" This was the cultivation world. Heavenly Dao was always watching.
Zhang Weixi sneered coldly. "I would rather die. I would rather let my resentment fill the sky and earth than marry for you."
With that, Zhang Weixi jumped directly off the cliff.
"Miss, Zhang Weixi jumped off the cliff. What should we do?" the steward asked Zhang Baozhu.
"If not Zhang Weixi, there are other people from the Zhang side branches. I never worry about finding someone," Zhang Baozhu said without a care. She did not believe Zhang Weixi would survive.
Not only was the cliff high, but Zhang Weixi was only at the early stage of Qi Condensation. Her chance of survival was basically zero.
"Let’s go back. Help me find someone from another side branch. We cannot delay the Liu family matter," Zhang Baozhu ordered. She led her people away, completely ignoring anyone below the cliff.

Zhang Weixi slowly opened her eyes. She shook her head and looked up. She found herself under a large tree. Next to her, a person sat there, grilling food.
"You are awake," the person said.
She looked like a young man, but Zhang Weixi felt an indescribable authority coming from her. She must be a superior being.
"Senior…" she started to say.
"My name is Zhu Zhibin. You can call me Teacher, Big Brother, or Fellow Daoist. Just do not call me Senior," Zhu Zhibin said with a serious expression. "That makes me sound old. I am not even two hundred years old."
Zhang Weixi stared at Zhu Zhibin. After a moment, she said, "Teacher, thank you for saving me."
Zhu Zhibin smiled lightly. "Actually, I did not originally plan to save you." He looked at Zhang Weixi. "Cultivators care about cause and effect. If I save you, you owe me a favor. If you do not repay it clearly in the future, you cannot ascend. But I saw you would rather let your resentment shock the Heavenly Dao than submit. So I acted."
Zhu Zhibin had not expected to intervene himself. He rarely came out. The Military Advisor Alliance had many matters. This was a rare time for leisure.
She had come out just to relax. Most importantly, her sister had told her her true destined marriage had arrived. She told her to seize it.
Thinking of his first wife’s behavior, and remembering how he thought he had found his destined partner when subduing the Military Advisor Alliance, only to be disappointed both times, he was not very hopeful this time.
She did not understand why her sister insisted she find another wife. She felt living alone was more comfortable.
But there was no choice. In their family, her sister, Zhu Yanyi, had absolute authority.
So he came out. He treated it as a holiday for himself.
She had no specific destination. She decided to walk around the cultivation world. She specifically chose places with no people. She did not believe she could find a wife if she walked like this.
The more he thought about it, the better the idea seemed. So he walked to more remote places.
But in such a remote place, he encountered Zhang Weixi’s situation.
Zhu Zhibin hesitated a little, but he was no longer ordinary. So he did not hesitate for long.
If this Zhang Weixi was truly her destined person, she would not push her away. she decided to observe for a while first.
"Teacher, I want to repay you, but I do not know how," Zhang Weixi said, feeling ashamed.
"Saving you was just convenient. Besides, if you want to repay me, the first thing you must do is heal your body," Zhu Zhibin said seriously.
Although she had saved Zhang Weixi, she still suffered significant internal injuries. She needed proper rest and recovery.
"Besides, the spiritual energy here is good. You can take this opportunity to cultivate and break through," he added. Whether Zhang Weixi was his destined partner or not, since he had saved her, he would see it through.
This place was indeed excellent. It was quiet, and the spiritual energy was abundant. Ordinary people could not find such a good cultivation spot. Unless they jumped down from above.
Yes, jumping down. The only way out was to jump down or fly up.
For Zhu Zhibin, entering and exiting like this was nothing. But for Zhang Weixi, it was not easy.
Only after successfully reaching the Foundation Establishment stage could one fly on a sword. So if Zhang Weixi wanted to leave on her own, she had to cultivate.
"I will work hard," Zhang Weixi realized this too.
Zhang Weixi had revenge to seek. But if she had no ability, going out would only mean death. No matter what, she needed to make herself stronger first.
Zhang Weixi looked at the sky. Mom, Dad, Brother, watch me. I will definitely avenge you. she called silently in her heart.
In the days that followed, Zhang Weixi cooperated well with Zhu Zhibin. When he said take medicine, she took it. After all, her body was her own. She had no time to be willful.
Zhu Zhibin saw Zhang Weixi meditating whenever she had free time. he knew she was cultivating.
However, Zhang Weixi’s talent was truly not good. Zhu Zhibin could see that although she could cultivate now, her talent was only low-grade.
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Zhibin took out a pill and gave it to Zhang Weixi. "Eat it."
Zhang Weixi was stunned. The clear fragrance of the pill showed it was no ordinary medicine. "What pill is this?"
"Top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill," Zhu Zhibin said. "Your talent is insufficient. You need to be reborn. But it will be very painful. I give you the pill. Whether you eat it is up to you."
Zhang Weixi looked at the pill. Not eat it? How could she? Her deep blood feud was waiting for her. So she ate it.
Zhang Weixi did not think much more. She put the pill directly into her mouth.
The pill melted instantly, filling her mouth with a clear fragrance. But this aftertaste lasted only a moment. Then she felt pain all over her body.
