In the Heavenly Note Sect, two people appeared in the main hall of Jiang Hao’s residence.
After two and a half months, they had finally returned.
Jiang Hao looked around and noticed that nothing had changed. No one had entered the courtyard during their absence.
“Don’t you feel anything when holding my hand for so long?” Hong Yuye asked.
Only then did Jiang Hao realize that he was holding her hand and let her go. “It’s because the spatial distance we crossed was too vast and sometimes causes a sensory imbalance in the body.”
In truth, he hadn’t noticed anything.
Hong Yuye let out a laugh. She walked into the courtyard. The Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower filled the air with a faint scent. The leaves swayed gently.
The Immortal Peach Tree was also bearing fruits. They would be ripe soon.
Hong Yuye began to disappear.
“If you want to kill someone, you can try crossing great distances with others.” Her voice echoed. Then, she disappeared.
Jiang Hao understood that he needed to be cautious when crossing long distances in the future. At the very least, he should test his abilities. Short distances might not pose a problem, but traveling across prefectures was a different matter.
“My ring… Where is it?”
The things he had lost before were gone for good, but the golden rings were not disposable.
Misplacing one would mean a significant loss. Fortunately, he still had three that could be used.
During their travels, the rings had played a crucial role. Having fewer than three of them would severely limit their capabilities.
Jiang Hao took a deep breath.
He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the spiritual energy in the surroundings had become even denser.
It might be due to Bai Ye, but he would need to observe further.
Half a month later, in early August, the group from the Heavenly Note Sect in Star-Moon City was also planning to return.
They had been here for quite some time, and they had already reaped all the rewards they could.
Staying longer would be meaningless. It was better to return as soon as possible and use their gains.
Liu Xingchen led a group of people to scout the route they would take back.
The spirit beast and Xiao Li went shopping.
Chu Chuan, on the other hand, arrived at the Bright Moon Sect.
He nervously approached a small attic.
“This is where Junior Sister Chu Jie lives,” Fang Jin said.
“Thank you, Senior,” Chu Chuan said respectfully.
This senior’s strength was so great that he had no choice but to address him as “Senior.”
“Don’t be so formal. You can call me Senior Brother or Fellow Daoist. Are you really not going to stay in the Bright Moon Sect?” Fang Jin asked.
“No.” Chu Chuan shook his head and said, “I should create my own path instead of living under someone’s shadow. Lord Beast told me that only by forging my own path can I make my own future.”
He didn’t say the rest of it. He didn’t tell him the part about how the beast had said that the future great demon was here to allow them to bask in its glory.
“Alright, go in then. Junior Sister Chu can’t stray too far from here for a while, and the Sect Master doesn’t allow her to meet with others because she’s still in the Foundation Establishment Realm. There won’t be any problems after a few months,” Fang Jin said.
Chu Chuan nodded and then walked inside.
As soon as he entered, the beauty of the place captivated him. He couldn’t help but think of his old, rundown house. He lowered his head to look at the ground beneath his feet.
It felt like his feet would leave stains if he walked here. After all, in the Heavenly Note Sect, he would often collapse from exhaustion after practicing his cultivation. He hadn’t paid much attention to keeping neat.
Although he had taken a bath, he still felt disheveled.
This place was like a fairyland and seemed out of place for him.
At that moment, Chu Jie walked out. She was dressed in a simple blue gown.
Their eyes met.
Chu Jie opened her mouth but couldn’t call out his name.
“Are you in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm already?” Chu Chuan was the first to speak.
“Yes, Master said that I would advance rapidly in the future. If I’m not careful, I might get lost in the process of advancing and forget other important things,” Chu Jie said.
“My Senior Brother mentioned that too. He said that if your state of mind can’t keep up with your cultivation realm, disasters may occur,” Chu Chuan said.
Chu Jie nodded in agreement.
“I’m going back,” Chu Chuan said.
Chu Jie lowered her head. She looked conflicted.
After a long moment of silence, she finally said, “Will you come to the Bright Moon Sect in the future?”
“Of course.” Chu Chuan nodded.
If he wanted to surpass everyone, he would inevitably need the people of the Bright Moon Sect. He would definitely come back here in the future.
“When are you going back?” Chu Jie asked.
“Probably tonight. They’re buying some things for the journey,” Chu Chuan said.
Xiao Li had won a lot of spirit stones, and she was buying food everywhere.
Even the disciples of the Bright Moon Sect’s canteen felt like they were facing a disaster whenever Xiao Li went to eat there.
It wasn’t because the canteen couldn’t afford it, but she made them stressed and made them hurry with the food.
The Cliff Master’s reputation had suffered quite a bit.
“Oh… This is for you.” Chu Jie took out a small storage treasure and handed it to
Chu Chuan.
Chu Chuan received the storage treasure in confusion. “What is this?”
He looked at the contents of the storage treasure.
His hands trembled when he saw what was inside.
“This…” Chu Chuan hurriedly placed the storage treasure back in Chu Jie’s hand.
“I can’t accept this.”
“Why not?” Chu Jie asked in confusion. She had saved up half of her pocket money for this.
“It’s… too much,” Chu Chuan said. With so much money, he was worried that he would lose his life before he reached his sect.
“It’s just a little over 320,000…” Chu Jie muttered.
“What?” Chu Chuan didn’t hear her clearly.
“Nothing! If I reduce it by a bit, would that be okay?” she asked.
“How about five or six hundred?” Chu Chuan suggested. That amount was something he could bear. Anything more would be risky.
“No!” Chu Jie refused.
Chu Chuan was speechless.
“I didn’t mean that. I…” Chu Jie didn’t know how to explain herself.
“I understand.” Chu Chuan smiled, even though he didn’t understand at all.
They talked for a while, but Chu Chuan noticed that it was getting late. He then prepared to leave. He also wanted to explore the attic and see what this fairyland was like.
However, Chu Jie seemed distracted. She was lost in thought, so Chu Chuan didn’t want to interrupt her.
Besides, he felt stressed staying here. He felt like he would dirty the floor.
So, he decided it was better not to go up and explore.
Chu Jie accompanied Chu Chuan to the door.
“Well, I should head back now.” Chu Chuan bid her goodbye. When he turned around to leave, Chu Jie called out, “Wait!”
Chu Chuan turned back to her.
“Last time, I…” Chu Jie couldn’t bring herself to mention the hairpin.
“Last time?” Chu Chuan was puzzled. He then felt a bit anxious.
Had she discovered him using the beast’s name to make up for the lacking spirit stones?
He felt embarrassed. He couldn’t tell her that he couldn’t afford the hairpin without the spirit beast’s help.
When he saw that Chu Jie was still wearing the hairpin, he asked, “You wore it?”
Chu Jie touched the hairpin and nodded. “I like it a lot.”
“That’s great!” Chu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled. “Well, I’ll be heading back now. ”
And so, Chu Jie watched as Chu Chuan left..
