Fuyue Daozun did not respond immediately, but looked at Jingci Shengseng with a complicated expression.
The Venerable Monk Jingci smiled self-deprecatingly and continued, "The Celestial Venerable Jingyao had already planned everything. He knew she would advance at the Dharma Assembly, and he also knew that this humble monk would definitely take action."
"Furthermore, I know that I should try to find a way to restore her missing soul."
Fuyue Daozun wanted to say a few words in defense of Jingyao Tianzun, but before he could even utter a word, he felt utterly powerless.
Let alone whether the Venerable Monk Jingci would disbelieve it, he himself had doubts and has not yet dispelled those doubts and thoughts.
The next words of the Holy Monk Jingci caused the expression of Daoist Fuyue to change drastically.
"He seems to overestimate this humble monk, and overestimate himself. If things succeed, this humble monk may not release her; if things fail, she may die."
The moonlight was cold and clear, making the simple courtyard seem even colder.
The two powerful figures from the immortal sects fell silent, each with their own thoughts.
...
Two days later, Chu Ling'er really woke up.
Aside from the improvement in cultivation level, there seems to be no other change.
"Little Lotus." She opened her eyes and immediately sat up, hugging Wei Qinghe. "Did I withstand the heavenly lightning?"
Wei Qinghe gently patted her back, "That's right, Ling'er is the most amazing. She's already at the Huiyang Realm now. When she climbs the Questioning Heart Ladder again, she'll have the title of Dao Venerable, the same level as the Fuyue Dao Venerable."
"Let's go now." Chu Ling'er looked impatient, as if she couldn't wait to climb the Ladder of Inquiry.
Wei Qinghe was both amused and exasperated. It seemed that Chu Ling'er didn't remember that it was the Holy Monk Jingci who saved her.
"You were seriously injured before, and it was the Holy Monk Jingci who saved you. Even if we are leaving, shouldn't we thank him?"
Wei Qinghe felt grateful when she thought of the frail appearance of the Holy Monk Jingci.
“The Venerable Monk Jingci is a good person, and I should thank him. Little Lotus, let’s go now.”
As Chu Ling'er spoke, she jumped off the bed. The two opened the door and came out, only to see Daoist Fuyue sitting there, with no sign of the Holy Monk Jingci.
"Brother Fuyue, where is the Holy Monk Jingci?"
Little Lotus asked with concern, "Thank me as soon as possible, and leave as soon as possible."
Fuyue Daozun stood up and looked at the two of them, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"The Venerable Monk Jingci has gone into seclusion."
"Seclusion?"
Wei Qinghe had only sensed that the Holy Monk Jingci was weak, but had not yet discovered anything else.
With the cultivation level of the Holy Monk Jingci, treating Chu Ling'er's injuries from the Heavenly Lightning shouldn't have necessitated him to go into seclusion as soon as possible.
"In that case, let's accompany Ling'er to Flying Immortal City first."
As Wei Qinghe spoke, she turned around and placed several bottles of pills on the table inside the room.
This can be considered her way of expressing gratitude to the Venerable Jingci.
After the three left, a figure in pure white emerged from behind the big tree. Wasn't that the frail Holy Monk Jingci?
The Venerable Monk Jingci was weak and exhausted, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.
"You don't even have the slightest bit of regret... Well, you don't remember anything, so how could you have any regrets? To you, I'm just a stranger you've just met."
...
Chu Ling'er already had good cultivation and high combat power, and now that she has advanced, her sword-riding speed has also increased significantly.
So they arrived at Feixian City in less than half a day.
Feixian City was as lively as ever, and a few figures could be seen climbing the Wenxin Ladder.
Chu Ling'er stood excitedly in front of the Ladder of Inquiry, "I can finally climb the Ladder of Inquiry, and I can finally get a title like my senior brothers and sisters."
"Let's go with you." Wei Qinghe was worried about Chu Ling'er going up alone. After all, the Ladder of Inquiry is different for everyone. If she encounters someone with ulterior motives on the way, Chu Ling'er might suffer.
"Can we go together?" Chu Ling'er hoped that Wei Qinghe would be by her side. She didn't know that Wei Qinghe had already passed the Heart-Questioning Ladder, and she was looking forward to going up the Heart-Questioning Ladder with Wei Qinghe.
“Of course, let’s go together.” Wei Qinghe nodded, letting Chu Ling’er walk in front, while she and Daoist Fuyue followed behind.
Daoist Fuyue didn't really care, but he was naturally happy to be with Wei Qinghe.
The last time Wei Qinghe climbed the Ladder of Inquiry, although he was worried, he did not go with her. That was because he was afraid that if Wei Qinghe could not bear it, he would not be able to help or stop, which would defeat the purpose of climbing the Ladder of Inquiry.
They will not interfere with Chu Ling'er's performance on the Ladder of Inquiry this time; they are only there to prevent anyone from harming Chu Ling'er.
However, what they feared did not happen. Perhaps because Chu Ling'er was free of distractions, she ran all the way as easily as climbing stairs.
Along the way, countless immortals and Daoists were filled with curiosity and envy. When some of them recognized Wei Qinghe and Daoist Fuyue, they were filled with even greater respect and wanted to continue.
Wei Qinghe was somewhat ashamed of herself, after all, she walked up, while Chu Ling'er finished by jogging.
The heavy, ancient bells rang once again.
Chu Ling'er found it somewhat unbelievable. Her senior brother, the sect leader, had said that she could take her time and complete it in multiple sessions.
"Little Lotus, did I just clear the game? Did I clear it directly like Senior Brother Fuyue?"
Lord Zhu reappeared, and upon seeing the three of them, he greeted them with a polite smile, "So it's Daoist Fuyue and Fellow Daoist Wei."
These two had already passed the Heart-Questioning Ladder, so he wasn't surprised. His gaze focused on Chu Ling'er.
"Congratulations, Lord of the City."
Fuyue Daozun introduced directly, "Lord Zhu, this is my junior sister Chu Ling'er. We accompanied her to climb the Ladder of Inquiry. She ran up here in one breath with great joy."
