Novel Full Chapter 498
Chapter 498: Chapter 24: Return to Penglai, A Visit from the Immortals Chapter 498: Chapter 24: Return to Penglai, A Visit from the Immortals Lin Duanshan and Duan Fenhai waited outside for a long while, finally seeing Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu, supporting each other, coming out of Ask-heart Cave.
“How did it go?” Lin Duanshan asked with concern, “Were there any mechanisms inside?”
“We’re alright,” Ling Yunpo shook his head and sighed, “Brother Lin, do you want to know the intelligence about the inside?”
“I can tell you, but the more you know, the less it benefits your heart questioning…”
“Then never mind,” Lin Duanshan immediately smiled, “It’s good that both of you are fine.”
Both of them were tactful and did not ask whether Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu were successful in their heart questioning or what specific path they were in.
Ling Yunpo then bade farewell to the two of them, and afterwards, took to the skies with Senior Sister An through sword control.
An Zhisu’s face was still somewhat pale, as though she hadn’t fully recovered from the near-death exhaustion.
It wasn’t until they landed in front of Qingluo Peak that she suddenly said:
“Junior brother…”
“What is it, Senior Sister?”
“Our master,” An Zhisu murmured, “when master was severely injured to save me, did he truly make a mistake?”
“How could that be?” Ling Yunpo comforted her, “Senior Sister, don’t be mistaken, that wasn’t the real Long Eyebrow Immortal, but an illusion that pulled our consciousness into a dream and generated those images.”
“In other words, the illusion’s statement ‘the master was wrong’ stems from deep within Senior Sister’s heart where you’ve been questioning this matter-you did not wish for our master to get hurt because of you.”
“However, if you were the one needing to make the choice to protect someone else, how would you choose, Senior Sister?”
An Zhisu had no response, for her performance in the heart questioning illusion had spoken for itself.

“Senior Sister,” Ling Yunpo finally concluded, “None of us want important people to get hurt protecting us; but we are all willing to give everything to protect those important to us.”
“Isn’t this the very essence of Sentiment Inquiry Path?”
After a moment of silence, An Zhisu smiled and said:
“Junior brother, you’re getting more eloquent.”
“It’s not about being eloquent, just telling the plain truth,” Ling Yunpo also smiled.
“Come sit with me in the backyard for a bit,” An Zhisu said.
In the pavilion of the backyard, Ling Yunpo skillfully filled the kettle and set it up on a small stove, where it bubbled away, brewing.
An Zhisu sat beside him, leaning gently on his shoulder, still looking a bit fragile.
Normally, she would be drooling over the steaming kettle at this point.
However, Ling Yunpo didn’t notice that at this moment the Senior Sister wasn’t looking at the kettle at all.
She was simply gazing at his profile, her eyes brimming with emotion like a tide of spring water, almost overflowing.
……
After sorting out the Sentiment Inquiry Path, Ling Yunpo prepared to ‘read files’ and check on Wei Dongliu’s side.
When he returns to Ling Yunpo’s storyline next time, he will announce his Core Formation to Senior Sister, then venture into Demon Locking Tower, and retrieve the last fragment of Ah Jing.
Having ‘read files’ to Wei Dongliu’s side, the surrounding was still oppressively silent and dark, with the air feeling like it had stopped flowing.
Wei Dongliu patiently meditated for five or six hours, only to feel more restless and irritable.
“Ah Jing, ‘read files’ to Luo Yan,” he said.
“Alright,” Kunlun Mirror complied, thinking to itself that the Hell Path believes it’s testing his patience, unaware that he can ‘read files,’ and in the end, it is their patience that is being worn down.
[Location Three: Penglai Jade Pure View, Heavenly Craft Workshop.]
[Character Identity: Luo Yan.]

After returning from the grand tournament at White Jade Capital, Luo Yan found his life unexpectedly peaceful, a stark contrast to Chief Qiu who was visited by people every other day.
Of course, the main reason was that the grand tournament at White Jade Capital itself was not very popular in Penglai, where everyone was deeply immersed in their own research or busy making money-the public reaction was very lukewarm.
Having reached Core Formation, Luo Yan took some Formation jade slips that could only be studied at the Golden Core Rank from the bookshelf in his room to read.
Not long into his reading, Miss Shi came to visit again:
“Junior Brother, Junior Brother, Junior Brother!” She rushed to Luo Yan’s desk and exclaimed, “Senior Brother is about to form his Nascent Infant!”
“Oh?” Luo Yan’s eyes lit up, “Shall we go take a look?”
Now that he had formed his Golden Core, forming his Nascent Soul was only a matter of time; he could take this opportunity to gather some information beforehand.
“We can’t go.” Miss Shi said anxiously, “Senior Brother has already left Penglai, and it’s said that even Master doesn’t know where he’s undergoing his Tribulation.”
“Is that so?” Luo Yan felt regret in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to comfort her, “Don’t worry too much, Sister.
Senior Brother has been preparing for so many years, he will surely be fine.”
“There’s another piece of news.” Shi Liuli nodded and then said, “It’s said that Chief Qiu of Kunlun has also reached Core Formation.”
Seeing her expression relatively normal, and after calculating the date, Luo Yan knew that Kunlun probably hadn’t officially announced Chief Qiu’s Core Formation yet.
Presumably, Miss Shi found out through some other minor channels.
He pretended to be perplexed and asked:
“Core Formation?
I remember he has a long life ahead of him, why did he form his core so quickly?”
“Because he formed a First Grade Golden Core,” Elder Shi Ding entered from outside, stroked his beard and said, “Luo Yan, Kunlun is about to hold a grand ancestor worship ceremony, and many elders from Penglai have been invited.”
Luo Yan and Shi Liuli immediately showed shocked expressions, but while the latter was genuinely surprised, the former was only feigning it.
???G0.??
“During my time at Kunlun, you will be in charge of arranging everything at the workshop,” Elder Shi Ding continued.
“Yes, Master,” Luo Yan quickly agreed.
As the heir to the Heavenly Craft Workshop, in the master’s absence, it was natural for Luo Yan to take charge.
“Father!” Shi Liuli immediately perked up, “I want to go to Kunlun too!
I haven’t been to the great Northwest yet!”
“Nonsense!” Elder Shi Ding scolded, “It’s their sect’s grand ancestor worship ceremony, why should you join in the hustle and bustle?”
However, to her father’s blustering, Miss Shi was not at all intimidated, throwing her arms in a tantrum, and acting coy and spoiled, making her father falter in his resolve.
He quickly looked to Luo Yan for help.
Luo Yan then said with a smile:
“Master, since Sister is so eager to go to Kunlun, why not make a deal with her?
If she behaves improperly at the grand ancestor worship ceremony, punish her by not allowing her to go out for three years.
How about that?”
“Good,” Elder Shi Ding immediately laughed, “Liuli, what do you say?”
Shi Liuli’s face turned a bit pale, and she quickly glared at Luo Yan several times before saying impatiently:
“I… of course, I can!
I’ve always been well-behaved, never doing anything to embarrass Father!”
Once she spoke, both Luo Yan and Elder Shi Ding chuckled inwardly.
However, considering that Shi Liuli was one of the top twelve contenders in the White Jade Capital grand tournament and had a small reputation as a virtuous rising star beyond Penglai, it was indeed time for her to get some social exposure…
Thinking this way, Elder Shi Ding sighed and said:
“Well then, Father will explain to you the process and points to note for the grand ancestor worship ceremony in Kunlun…”
Elder Shi Ding had just left with Miss Shi when another person came looking for Luo Yan.
It was a thin individual who was clearly the gatekeeper of Yuqing View…
what, the gatekeeper?
“Why has the immortal come here?” Luo Yan hurried to welcome him, respectfully asking.
“Luo Yan, the old man needs a favor from you,” the Wan Xiang Immortal said with a smile, “Can you come with me?”
“If the immortal commands it, I shall follow without hesitation,” Luo Yan said earnestly, though curiosity was surging in his heart.
