Upon hearing this, Honglian frowned slightly and her expression immediately turned cold. She subconsciously planned to refuse.
In another day, she will be reborn, shedding her status as a mortal and a maid, becoming a cultivator, proud of the world, and she will not need to pay any attention to Xue Kong's request which sounds a bit rude.
But she soon changed her mind and thought that cultivators pay attention to cause and effect, and every cause must have an effect. After embarking on the path of cultivation, she did not want to have anything to do with Xue Kong anymore. If she could resolve the cause and effect between her and Xue Kong this time, it would be the best.
Besides, she doesn't need a day more.

And they can still worship and pray?" Honglian asked doubtfully.
"Since you're here, let's go and take a look."
Xue Kong had a blank expression on his face, his eyes calm and still. His figure was as tall as a pine tree, and he stood next to Honglian, a head taller than her. Although Honglian sensed something was wrong at this moment, she could only bite the bullet, step onto the stone steps, and walk towards the temple on the mountain.
