As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Jianqing flew away, completely leaving the small mountain village where he had lived for more than a year.
Behind him, the beautiful Gu Shiliu stared blankly for a whole day before she shed tears and left heartbroken. Many years later, when Gu Shiliu had already married, she hugged her grandson and said with a smile, "Actually, a long time ago, grandma really liked someone. But I'm afraid it was only a liking. If I really loved him, I think I would follow him regardless of everything and would never give up after just one day."
In fact, many causes and effects in the world are already predetermined. There are no such things as coincidences; everything is just what it was supposed to be.
When Luo Jianqing flew back to Mount Taihua, the young disciples guarding the sect's foothills were stunned. They looked at him in disbelief, and finally shouted, "Big Brother! It's Big Brother! Big Brother, you're finally back! You're finally back!"
This good news spread throughout Taihua Mountain within half an hour, and countless elders and disciples came out of retreat to confirm whether Luo Jianqing had truly returned. Luo Jianqing smiled and thanked each one, then flew to Cangshuang Peak to report his journey to the head master.
As Luo Jianqing flew away, an elder exclaimed, "Just now...did Jianqing reach the Nascent Soul stage?!"
"It's really the Nascent Soul Stage! It's the Nascent Soul Stage!"
"Oh my god, Senior Brother has only been practicing for forty-one years this year, and he has already reached the Nascent Soul stage?"
"Master Xuan Lingzi didn't form his infant child until he was fifty-six, and Senior Brother is only forty-one. This... this is impossible!"
The moment Luo Jianqing returned to Mount Taihua, the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows transformed into a streak of golden light and suddenly flew towards Yuxiao Peak. Luo Jianqing glanced in the direction of Yuxiao Peak as if unintentionally, staring at the golden light without saying a word.
After Luo Jianqing arrived at Cangshuang Peak, he paid a visit to the head master.
Hao Xingzi asked him what happened after he was swallowed by the Ghost Quicksand, and also asked how he got out of the Flowing Flame Valley when the gate was closed. To this, Luo Jianqing answered honestly, only concealing the fact that Mo Qiu was a demon cultivator.
Hao Xingzi sighed and said, "After all, this is the place where a Heavenly Rank Demon Lord fell, so it's only natural that there are some strange things. Jianqing, you should hurry back to Yuxiao Peak. During your absence, your master has already caused chaos throughout the four sects and the eight great families."
Luo Jianqing was suddenly stunned and asked, "Master, I wonder what you are talking about..."
Hao Xingzi shook his head lightly, helplessly saying, "After the Flowing Flame Valley reopened, the gate remained open for three days, yet you still didn't come out. Elder Shan, who was accompanying him, was stunned when he saw the gate completely shut and you still hadn't escaped. Then, a wandering cultivator revealed that you and a member of the Mo family had been swallowed by the ghost quicksand. Although we all know you're still alive and your natal lamp hasn't extinguished, when your master heard the details, he disregarded the reputation of the various sects and severely injured all the members of the Broken Soul Sect, Feihua Sect, Bai Family, Yun Family, and Mo Family who came to Taihua Mountain to explain what happened!"
Hearing Hao Xingzi's words, Luo Jianqing's body stiffened. He subconsciously asked, "Master, I have something to ask you. Master's health... is not good?"
There was a long silence in the hall. After a long while, Hao Xingzi sighed and said:
