In the modern world, in the year 3780, there are still 370 years left before scientists estimate that nine major stars will collide with the solar system.
According to the observations of astronomers, those stars are still moving at high speed and their trajectories have not changed. The nearest star is only 80 light-years away from the solar system.
For the people of Middle-earth, seeing the catastrophe imminent, about half of the people were transferred to Shuichen Star 1-3, 40 light-years away. Most of the remaining half of the population will not live to be 300 years old. As long as they refrain from having children during this period, they will be almost dead in the end!
It is very sad to say that getting married and having children these days has become a luxury!
Yu Youwei, who stayed in Zhongnan Mountain to cultivate, was glad that her judgment was correct and that she did not agree to Lu Sichen's pursuit. Otherwise, if she was worried now, not only would she not be able to cultivate into the Nascent Soul, but she would also be burdened by her descendants. How would she be able to live her life?
After much deliberation, it is better to practice alone. When the catastrophe comes, if you are lucky, you can escape and continue to practice; if you are unlucky and cannot escape the catastrophe, then you will die.
Although there are still some people in the Yu family, they have an estranged relationship with Yu Youwei, and most of them have left Middle-earth. If Yu Youwei, the old aunt, died, she would probably not shed a single tear.
In March 3780, Yu Youwei, one of the Supreme Elders of the Zhongnan Sect, received an invitation letter inviting her to attend a wedding.
Not only is she a Nascent Soul monk, she also serves as a professor at the Faculty of Liberal Arts of Teito University. During her teaching career, she met some colleagues. One of them, Li Qingli, serves as the deputy dean of the Faculty of Liberal Arts of Teito University. She specializes in film and television scripts and has written ten books. Most of the several Xianxia scripts were made into film and television dramas.
Li Qingli was originally a lay disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, but her skills were stuck in the late innate stage, and she had been unable to advance to the golden elixir.
Eight years ago, for some unknown reason, she suddenly advanced to Jindan and became an "outer elder" of the Quanzhen sect.
This phenomenon is relatively rare among lay disciples.
Li Qingli was thirty years younger than Yu Youwei. After becoming an "outer sect elder", she learned about the internal situation of the Quanzhen Sect. She didn't expect that Yu Youwei had such a deep background and was actually the supreme elder of the sect! So she took the initiative to get close to Yu Youwei and came to see her with gifts during holidays.
Over time, Yu Youwei was also willing to give guidance on Li Qingli's practice, and the relationship between the two was good.
On March 5 of this year, Li Qingli came to her door in person and sent an invitation letter to Yu Youwei: "Uncle Master, can you please attend my daughter's wedding?"
Yu Youwei did not refuse and asked: "How many daughters do you have, and what kind of family do you want to marry?"
Li Qingli smiled and said: "I have a son and a daughter. The son's name is 'Su Wancheng' and he is 50 years old. The daughter's name is 'Su Wanqiu' and she is 43 years old. She graduated from Teito University with a major in aquaculture. She likes to raise goldfish, so she learned this major.
After graduating from college, she made a group of friends online to discuss how to raise goldfish.
One of them, a man named 'Lu Manchuan', gave Wanqiu some rare species of goldfish.
Wanqiu contacted him often, first by text, then by voice, and later by video chat.
Although Lu Manchuan is more than thirty years older than Wanqiu, he is a monk with considerable skills and good looks. He looks like a twenty-year-old boy and is a perfect match for Wanqiu. He gave Wanqiu two cultivation techniques with strange names. One was called 'Seven Star Ziwei Jue' and the other was called 'Dayan Shen Arithmetic'.
My daughter Wanqiu has made rapid progress after practicing these two techniques. During this year's Lantern Festival, she broke through the realm overnight and became a real Jindan!
Later, Lu Manchuan proposed to Wanqiu, and Wanqiu agreed. The wedding is scheduled for May Day this year. "
After Yu Youwei heard this, she was quite surprised: "43-year-old Jindan Zhenren? That is a genius. Wanqiu's qualifications are very good! Is she a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect?"
Li Qingli said: "Wan Qiu's father is from the Xiaoyao sect, and this child has been practicing the 'Eternal Immortality Skill' since elementary school."
"Is Lu Manchuan the real Jin Dan?"
"should be."
"Which sect is he a disciple of?"
"I am not very sure."
Yu Youwei frowned: "You don't know his background, so you dare to marry your daughter to him? Aren't you afraid of pushing your child into a pit of fire?"
Li Qingli smiled and said: "I have met Lu Manchuan. He is polite, gentle, well-spoken, and very knowledgeable. He is a professor of rare earth chemistry at Xijing University."
"How come there is such a major? Isn't it a scam?"
"I checked. Not only does his name appear on the website of Xijing University, but he is also a key talent trained by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is said that he hopes to become an academician in the next ten years."
"Alas, the catastrophe is approaching, and human beings are about to become extinct. Do you still want to be an academician?"
"As long as Wanqiu is satisfied. Uncle Master, you don't know. I was stuck in the late stage of Xiantian. It was because I ate two elixirs given by Lu Manchuan that I was able to break through and advance to the golden elixir."
"Really? What kind of elixir?"
"It is said to be called 'Dragon and Tiger Pill'."
Even after hearing so much, Yu Youwei still wanted to refuse and was unwilling to attend other people's weddings. She has a knot in her heart and cannot bear to see others getting married and living together.
At this time, Li Qingli suddenly said: "By the way. There is something I forgot to mention. I also know that Lu Manchuan's father was also a professor at Imperial University. If I tell you, you may know that person."
Yu Youwei said calmly: "I usually don't care much about the situation in school, and I don't know many people."
Li Qingli said: "Lu Manchuan's father, named Lu Sixen, was once a first-class professor in the Department of Geology."
Hearing this, Yu Youwei's expression changed drastically: "What?"
She was sitting elegantly, holding a small teacup and drinking tea slowly. At this time, her hand loosened, the teacup fell on the table, and the tea splashed out.
Li Qingli entered the Faculty of Liberal Arts of Teito University relatively late, and Lu Manchuan had already left at that time, so she didn't know that Lu Manchuan had chased Yu Youwei.
"Uncle Master, what's wrong? Do you know Lu Sichen? What is his character like?"
Yu Youwei gritted her teeth and said, "It's so shameless!"
Li Qingli was surprised: "Ah? Uncle Master, have you ever suffered from him?"
Yu Youwei was furious: "Nonsense! He has been chasing me for 45 years without even touching a finger..."
"This..." Li Qingli thought to herself: "This is a big deal! I shouldn't have come at all! This is just poking a hornet's nest!" She thought about it again and felt it was weird again, and said: "Uncle, Lu Sichen Chasing you for 45 years? Is this person crazy? Is he so thick-skinned?"
Yu Youwei felt hatred in her heart, her arms trembled slightly, and she kept saying "despicable villain". After a while, she said: "I think back then, although I didn't agree to him, I didn't hate him either. I saw him a few times every month. We had dinner together, drank tea and chatted together, and we were barely friends. He chased me for 45 years, and then suddenly walked away. Since then, there has been no news. I am like a kite with its string cut off, and like an opium addict, almost I went crazy! I locked myself in a coffin and practiced hard for decades, and finally survived the catastrophe, and it was all Lu Sichen’s fault!"
Li Qingli didn't dare to say much because it was difficult to judge who was right and who was wrong in this kind of thing.
Hearing Yu Youwei continue to say: "When I came out of the coffin, I searched for Lu Sichen every year to know whether he was dead or alive, but there was no news. Unexpectedly, not only was he married, but his son was so It's too big! I'm so angry... Tell me, is Lu Sichen still alive?"
Li Qingli said: "I don't know. I only had a video call with Lu Manchuan's mother. Her name is 'Shi Qing'er'. I can't talk nonsense about her appearance... Uncle Master, are you still willing to go to this wedding? If so. If I go, I should be able to see Shi Qing'er. But whether I can see Lu Sichen, I don't know."
Yu Youwei suddenly stamped her feet, breaking the floor tiles with a "click" and said, "I'm going to the banquet!"
