"So the real solution to this problem hasn't appeared yet..." Shen Qingmang fell into deep thought, and after a moment he said, "If we really have to rely on reducing the number of cultivators to ensure an abundant supply of spiritual energy, then the world of immortal cultivation will eventually become a purgatory of fratricide. This method is absolutely unworkable. We at Taichu cannot do this, and we must find a way to stop the Fangyuan Sect from causing panic."
"Since Master comes from a world thousands of years in the future, where the Immortal Cultivation World no longer exists, then no matter what we do, it will ultimately be useless, right? The Immortal Cultivation World disappeared because of the depletion of spiritual energy, right?"
Shen Qingmang pinched the bridge of his nose. "Uh..."
Oops, she forgot about that. She created a character for herself as a person from the future (which wasn't entirely wrong). Logically, she should know the solution, but she hasn't even figured out how to write it yet.
Gu Suihan continued, "A thousand years isn't that long. Two hundred years have already passed since we wiped out the Fang Yuan Sect. That means the spiritual power depletion problem reappeared shortly after that... Could it be that we are the cause of the destruction of the immortal cultivation world?"
"No, no, no, don't think too much." Shen Qingmang hurriedly comforted him, "Besides, it doesn't matter if the world of cultivation no longer exists. Is living that much longer necessarily better? If I had to choose between a thousand years in the world of cultivation and a hundred years in my hometown, I would definitely choose the latter. You don't understand the convenience of modern technology, so it's a pity that I can't take you to experience it."
"Master, are you homesick? Do you want to go back?"
"I can't go back even if I want to. I'm already an unlucky guy who died in an accident there. Fortunately, I have no relatives or friends, so I won't make others too sad."
"But I think there will definitely be many people who feel sad for Master." Gu Suihan said, "You are so kind. You must have brought warmth to many people. They will all remember you."
"Forget it, I would rather they forget me." Shen Qingmang sighed.
The only people who will truly be sad are the director and the children in her teaching class, but she hopes they won't know the news, so that when they think of her, they will feel positive emotions instead of sadness. When the children grow up, they may forget her, but the seeds she planted in their hearts will surely take root and sprout, leading them out of the mountains. That's enough.
"Master, did you have a lover in your previous life?"
Shen Qingmang broke free from his sad mood and said with a smile, "Have you wanted to ask this question for a long time? If so, what do you want to do?"
"Then I will try my best to do better than him. I can give you everything he has given you. I will also love you more than he does. Mortals only live for a few decades. Even if his love is long-lasting, it will definitely not be as good as mine."
"No need to compare, there's no such person." Shen Qingmang said, "But it suddenly occurred to me... you just said that two hundred years had passed in your previous life. Doesn't that mean you're much older than me?"
"Master, how old are you?"
"Twenty-five."
"That's really a child. Hao Xin is older than you."
"Then I'm more mature than him. But you, you used to act like a kid in front of me, trying all sorts of ways to beg for my love. Aren't you ashamed?"
"Ahem, Master, it's getting late, time to go to bed." Gu Sui Han said in an unnatural tone.
"Hahaha! Okay, okay, I'll let you go for now. Go to sleep. Good night."
"good evening."
The next morning, Shen Qingmang felt refreshed. He knocked on the doors of his three disciples one by one and asked them to pack their luggage and prepare to set off.
"We're finally leaving!" Hao Xin jumped three feet high.
"Master, where shall we go to play next? No, shall we travel?" Si Rong looked excited.
"I'm not going anywhere. I'm going home."
"Ah - okay." The two little apprentices' faces were full of disappointment.
The three of them packed up quickly, as if they had been preparing yesterday. Shen Qingmang took them to say goodbye to the third senior sister first. The other sister said in a relaxed tone, "Let's go, let's go. Come back and play when you have free time. Junior sister, please keep an eye on Master for me to see when he calms down so I can go back to Taichu and stay for a while."
"Senior sister didn't like staying in Taichu in the past, but after getting married, she misses her hometown?" Shen Qingmang joked.
"Well, I'm a person who travels all over the world. I won't stay in Chaohua Palace for long. I plan to go to Fangyuan Sect to play in the near future."
Shen Qingmang subconsciously turned his head and looked at Gu Suihan. Both of them had a serious expression for a moment. Qi Yao asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing." Shen Qingmang quickly recovered. "I'm just a little surprised. I thought Senior Sister was going to settle down in Chaohua Palace. Why do you want to go to Fangyuan Sect again? Did... did someone invite you?"
"It's the curious one in my family who wants to see the amazing Fang Yuan Zong."
"Oh... then have a nice trip. We'll be heading home first."
After leaving Third Senior Sister's courtyard, Shen Qingmang quickly walked ahead, pulling Gu Suihan with him, and asked quietly, "Did Senior Sister keep in touch with Yang Zhidu later?"
"No, Third Uncle and her severed ties and we never met again. But later, when we were sieging the Fang Yuan Sect, Third Uncle asked us to let her have a few more words with her if we captured Yang Zhidu, so that we could finally put an end to everything."
"Then what?"
"We didn't find her." Gu Suihan's face was tense. "It's like she disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace."
"It seems she is more difficult than I thought."
Si Rong and Hao Xinzhu were at the back, watching their master and senior brother whispering in front, one dissatisfied and the other curious.
"Since Master and Big Brother got together, all she has eyes for is him. She doesn't want us anymore. Big Brother is so annoying. It's all Big Brother's fault."
"Why are you competing with him for favor? You're not even on the same level, okay? Forget about all that nonsense. Hey, guess what they're whispering about?"
Si Rong snorted. "It's just about love, what else can I say?"
"Can you imagine Master talking about love? Look, they're not even holding hands."
"Yes, after they got together, is it that Master teaches Senior Brother about magic?"
"Why are you curious about this?" Shen Qingmang had stopped and turned around at some point. Her two disciples were so engrossed in their own imaginations that they didn't notice her and were startled.
"No, no, no, I'm not curious!" Si Rong waved his hands hurriedly. "We're just talking about our own business, Master, Senior Brother, you guys go on, go on, don't bother with us."
"Oh, by the way, after we return to Wuya Peak, you two should look after the younger brothers and sisters. Your eldest brother and I still have to go out for a while."
"Ah? Master, you really don't want us anymore?" Si Rong's face fell.
Just as Shen Qingmang was about to say a few words to comfort her, he heard the other party continue, "Master, Senior Brother, you are not going to elope, are you?"
Shen Qingmang: "..."
