Chapter 220: Half a Step Ahead

Bei Qi liked to cuddle with his good disciple, and he rubbed his face against the little sword spirit affectionately, "Teacher misses you too, my baby, it's been more than ten years since we last met."

"You have no idea how boring my life has been these past few years. The days without you are so lonely."

He Cen held him until he had absorbed enough spiritual energy before he stood up. "That can't be helped. After all, cultivation requires seclusion. I'm not as powerful as you guys. Even during seclusion, I can't be affected by external forces. I have to concentrate very hard to cultivate well."

Speaking of this, Bei Qi hurriedly pulled him up and said seriously, "Baby, did anything happen during your seclusion?"

"Why are you in such a hurry to break through this time? Do you know that the spiritual energy in your body has started to go haywire?"

"How do you feel now? Do you feel any discomfort?"

He Cen shook his head, "I'm fine. I just used too much energy when I just broke through. I feel much better after a good sleep. I just need to stabilize my realm a little more."

He was not going to hide the situation that Lingyang informed him of, so after calling several masters over, he briefly told them his guesses through telepathic dialogue.

"I forgot to ask, have you met any strange people while traveling outside these years?"

Bo Lou said, "I encountered a raider and killed him immediately."

He Cen was slightly surprised, but didn't say anything, "Anything else?"

The masters looked calm and said, "There is nothing else left. The only thing left is the piece of heavenly book in the sea area. We have found the rest."

"Baby, you are deeply involved with that woman. She actually took the initiative to contact you."

He was getting jealous again after hearing this. He Cen smiled helplessly, "Master, Sister Lingyang and I just met by chance. She is a very good person and is willing to help us. Why do you have to target her?"

"I really have no other relationship with her. Apart from the one time I met her when I was dragged into the upper world, I have never seen her before."

Bei Qi pinched his cheek, "Master believes you, but we also find it strange that your story with her should have ended long ago. Why are you still involved now?"

"Do you really have no memory of this woman? She calls me sister so affectionately. Have you ever seen her in your previous life?"

It was almost like checking the household registration. He Cen's cheeks were puffed up by his pinching, and it was difficult for him to speak. "Master~ A little jealousy can make you happy, but too much jealousy can hurt you~"

"I haven't seen it. We only met after coming to this world."

Although he said that, Hecen also had a feeling that he and Lingyang were old acquaintances, but he really had no memory of it, so he had no entanglement.

Jun Chao had actually sensed something when he calculated it earlier. Since He Cen had brought this up, he also mentioned it in passing, "I left home when I was young, and my blood ties to my family are extremely shallow. After I stepped into the world of cultivation, I cut off all ties with the mortal world. My fate has been like this for so many years..."

"If that Lord God really has this idea, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to succeed."

"If the power in this world is really as important as Hehe said, then I'm afraid we will have to fight in the end."

"If his power is beyond God's reach, we won't be able to deal with him."

He Cen's heart skipped a beat. "Pfft, ptff, ptff, stop talking like that. The four of you are so amazing. Even if you compete with the heavens, you must be better than them by half a step. Don't let these things affect your mood."

Jun Chao frowned, "Hehe, it's hard to say."

"If something unexpected happens in the future, since you are the variable, you should find a way to escape. If we can't escape, don't do anything stupid."

"No matter what the future holds, you should leave yourself a way out. You have a special identity and will definitely be able to ascend to the upper realm."

These words sounded like entrusting an orphan to someone else. He Cen blinked and quickly covered his ears. "Master, look at you. You know I don't want to hear these, but you still say them!"

"If something happens to you, and there's no one to protect me, what's the point? Leaving me all alone... can you bear it?"

Jun Chao curled his lips, raised his hand and touched his head, "Of course I can't bear to leave. If possible, I would like to stay with you for a long time."

"But if there are dangers everywhere here, I don't want you to sacrifice too much for us. If you are okay and still alive, then we will have something to think about."

"I will definitely try my best to come back and take another look."

These words were full of emotion. If He Cen was not around, the people in Jun Chao would surely be heartbroken. But if He Cen was still around, even if he was pressed into a hell of suffering, they would definitely crawl back to take a look.

People must always have some thoughts and hopes, otherwise there will be nothing to care about in this world and there will be no need for them to exist.

Although his tone was a bit dull, what Jun Chao said was not without reason. He Cen, the little sword spirit, was loyal and righteous. He liked Jun Chao and the others very much. One day in the future, he might even sacrifice himself for them.

Several masters certainly don't want to see this kind of situation, so it's better to talk it out as soon as possible.

It was this that made the useless young man He Cen's eyes turn red.

Bei Qi held him in his arms and rubbed his face with amusement, "What the dead iceberg said makes sense, baby, don't do anything stupid. If the Lord God is targeting the four of us and we can't escape, you should get away early. As long as you are still alive, your master will come back to find you."

He Cen was unhappy. "We were just talking fine, why did it come to this? How can I bear it?"

"I will definitely find a way. You are all my masters, and no one can be left behind."

The young man's emotions were straightforward. After so many years of companionship and the love shown by his masters, how could he let go of all the memories accumulated over time?

He is the only concern of the masters in this world, but they are also the only ones that He Cen trusts and relies on.

If the main god really intervenes in the end, even if it is in the outside world, the little sword spirit will pick up the sword and kill.

Anyway, I'm alone now, with nothing, so I can give up anything.

Seeing the low mood, even the little sword spirit was upset. Wen Qing sighed and quickly changed the subject, "He He has reached the Yuan Infant stage. Can you show us the Yuan Infant baby you conceived?"

He Cen blinked and said, "What's so good about this? It's just a smaller version of me."

"But you know what, this is the first time I've discovered that I'm actually pretty cute~"

The mood changed quickly, and several masters were amused. How could a cultivator's Yuanying be shown to others so casually? But He Cen was not thoughtful.

When the master said he wanted to see it, he released the little Yuanying he had created without saying a word. A cute little blonde girl floated above his head. She looked very much like He Cen, a small miniature bunny shrunk in proportion, soft and glowing.

As soon as it came out, several masters were stunned for a moment. They could not control their hands anymore and they all touched He Cen's little Yuanying.
