# **Chapter 613 — The Jade Step**
Morning light spread across the highest peak of **Heaven Cutter Sect**.
After Yang Lin's breakthrough, the mountain had become unusually peaceful.
Spiritual mist floated slowly between the cliffs.
On the terrace outside the cultivation pavilion, **Yang Lin**, **Su Qinglan**, and **Han Qing** sat around a stone table discussing sect matters.
Yang Lin's aura was now completely stable.
The pressure of the **Void King Realm — Second Stage** radiated quietly from him.
At that moment—
Soft footsteps approached from the stone path.
It was **FeiFei**.
She carried a jade tray with three cups of spiritual tea.
The fragrance of the tea leaves drifted through the air.
"Master Yang Lin, I brought tea," she said gently.
She stepped onto a beautiful **jade rock platform** that had been placed beside the table.
But the rock had been polished smooth by years of spiritual energy.
Her foot slipped.

# **Chapter 614 — A Moment of Chaos**
Everything happened in an instant.
FeiFei gasped.
"Ah—!"
The tray tilted.
Three cups of tea flew into the air.
FeiFei lost her balance and fell forward.
And directly beneath her—
Sat **Yang Lin**.
Su Qinglan's eyes widened.
Han Qing nearly stood up.
But before anyone could react—
FeiFei fell directly onto Yang Lin.

# **Chapter 615 — Tea in Midair**
While the two bodies collided—
The tea cups were still flying through the air.
Su Qinglan reacted instantly.
Her hand flashed like lightning.
With a graceful movement she caught the tray first.
Then—
One cup.
Two cups.
Three cups.
Each cup landed perfectly back on the tray without spilling a single drop.
She raised an eyebrow.
"Such good tea would be a waste."
Han Qing blinked in surprise.
Meanwhile—
Something far more awkward had happened.

# **Chapter 616 — An Accidental Kiss**
FeiFei fell directly onto Yang Lin's chest.
Their faces were suddenly very close.
Too close.
Before either of them could react—
Their lips touched.
For a brief moment—
Silence froze the mountain.
FeiFei's eyes widened.
Yang Lin's mind went completely blank.
The kiss lasted less than a second.
But it felt strangely long.
Then FeiFei suddenly realized what had happened.
Her entire face turned bright red.
She immediately pushed herself up.
"I—I'm sorry!"
---
# **Chapter 617 — Frozen Time**
Yang Lin remained sitting.
His brain still processing the situation.
FeiFei stood beside the table, completely flustered.
Her hands trembled slightly.
"I didn't mean to—!"
Su Qinglan calmly placed the tray on the table.
She took a sip of tea.
"Mm."
She looked at Han Qing.
"Good tea."
Han Qing nodded slowly.
"Yes… very good tea."
Neither of them mentioned the kiss.
But both of them had clearly seen it.
---
# **Chapter 618 — Embarrassment**
FeiFei didn't know where to look.
Her eyes avoided Yang Lin entirely.
"I… slipped on the jade rock…"
Yang Lin finally stood up.
His face remained calm.
But his ears had turned slightly red.
"It's fine," he said.
Inside his mind, however—
His thoughts were chaotic.
*Her lips…*
He quickly stopped the thought.
Across the table, Su Qinglan smiled faintly.

# **Chapter 619 — Teasing Wind**
Han Qing leaned back slightly.
"You should be careful when walking on jade rocks," she said.
Her tone sounded calm.
But there was a faint teasing hidden in it.
FeiFei became even more embarrassed.
"I really didn't mean to kiss—"
She suddenly stopped talking.
Realizing what she had just said.
Su Qinglan calmly took another sip of tea.
"Indeed."
"The tea is still warm."
Han Qing covered her mouth slightly.
Trying not to laugh.
---
# **Chapter 620 — The Quiet Heart**
Yang Lin sat down again.
But his heartbeat felt strangely different.
He glanced at FeiFei.
She was still red-faced and avoiding eye contact.
For some reason—
The scene from his childhood memory returned again.
The little girl smiling beside him.
The same warmth.
The same presence.
Yang Lin's expression softened slightly.
---
# **Chapter 621 — Suspicious Senior**
Inside Yang Lin's **Sea of Consciousness**, the mysterious senior chuckled.
"Oh?"
"Interesting."
Yang Lin frowned mentally.
"Senior, don't start."
The old voice laughed.
"Fate has strange methods."
Yang Lin ignored him.
But he could not deny one thing.
The accidental kiss had stirred something deep inside his heart.
---
# **Chapter 622 — Ripples of Fate**
The mountain returned to calm.
The tea was finally served.
The four sat quietly around the stone table.
But the atmosphere had subtly changed.
FeiFei remained quiet.
Su Qinglan looked amused.
Han Qing seemed thoughtful.
And Yang Lin—
His gaze occasionally drifted toward FeiFei without him realizing it.
Above the peak, clouds slowly moved across the sky.
Fate had quietly pushed the story forward again.
Even if no one had planned it.
