Chapter 1050: An Mingji’s Imminent Return

Although it wasn’t detailed which member of the Xuanji Sect was undergoing tribulation, most people had a suspicion.

The person forming a Golden Core during tribulation on Yuhua Mountain is very likely Wanqi, the eldest of the Wanqi Family.

This speculation has its reasons.

Last night, many cultivators from the Wanqi Family mobilized and surrounded the foot of Yuhua Mountain, making people think deeply.

On this day, visitors to the Wanqi Family multiplied several times compared to usual, all coming to discreetly verify.

The Wanqi Family Head seemed to have anticipated this situation and left early in the morning, handing all house affairs to the younger generation.

Wanqi Jingyi, along with siblings from the same generation, entertained guests, treating everyone politely no matter who they were.

At his appearance, the visitors immediately knew that the person forming a Golden Core during tribulation last night wasn’t him.

Wanqi Jingyi cleverly released his Foundation Establishment Cultivation, silencing their inquiries.

No matter how everyone tried to ask and investigate which member of the Xuanji Sect was undergoing tribulation last night, they couldn’t get useful information from the younger generation of the Wanqi Family.

Ridiculous!

The Family Head had instructed them that if anyone dared to divulge even a bit of information, their legs would be broken.

They’d be fools to tell these people with ill intentions.

Facing guests carrying calculations and schemes, the younger generation of the Wanqi Family gradually grew impatient, but still maintained a gentle and polite demeanor, showing no sign of discontent.

During this period, peace was destined not to be found in the Wanqi Family.

Upon returning home, Gu Jin’s first task was to wash, then she threw herself onto her warm and comfortable bed.

As for other matters, she temporarily had no time to attend to them.

After resting well, she would strive to cultivate diligently.

Perhaps in the past one or two years she had become too complacent, now even her disciples’ cultivation levels were almost on par with hers; she truly needed to start working hard.

Laying on the bed, Gu Jin, feeling drowsy, clenched her fist, deciding that starting today... no, once she woke, she would diligently cultivate.

...

Far away in Italy, An Mingji quickly received news from his disciple Wanqi Heyang, learning that Yu Shuo and Jiang Hanyi had successfully undergone tribulation and formed their Golden Core.

He also knew well the Hidden Market cultivator assembly invitation sent to Gu Jin.

After asking a few questions to Wanqi Heyang, An Mingji fell silent.

Wanqi Heyang knew, at this moment, it was time to end the call with his master.

Before ending the call, Wanqi Heyang recalled Yu Shuo and Jiang Hanyi’s previous conversation and softly asked.

"Master, when will you return home?"

"Soon—"

The deep, pleasant voice transmitted through the receiver into Wanqi Heyang’s ears.

Soon after, the receiver emitted a beeping sound.

The call was disconnected.

...

Time unknowingly slipped away.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day before the cultivator assembly.

That morning, Gu Jin yawned as usual upon entering the dining room.

"Kasi, what is there to eat?"

For nearly a month, Gu Jin had been doubling her cultivation efforts almost daily.

Whether due to the cultivation or not, her appetite seemed to have notably increased lately.

Kasi was busy in the kitchen, hearing the voice from the dining room, she walked out with a cup of hot milk and a plate of omelets.

She placed these on the dining table and smiled as she spoke: "Miss Gu, please have some milk first. The kitchen also has ham, beef, bacon, and some side dishes, I’ll bring them out for you."

"Thank you, Kasi."

Gu Jin sat down and took a few sips of the milk.

Soon, Kasi brought out the prepared side dishes and arranged them on the dining table in front of Gu Jin.

As she ate breakfast, her eyes, beautiful with a watery glint, curiously observed Kasi.

Today’s Kasi seemed a bit different.
