Chapter 96: 96 Chapters - I Walk the Grand Path Alone

Seeing this scene, the Black-Backed Bear could not sit still any longer.

It stepped forward and swung its paw, creating an earthy yellow protective shield that blocked Yu Qingtan's Water Blade and saved another Carapace Wolf.

Then it directly fled.

The Human Race had three at the Foundation Establishment stage, plus three others at the late stage of Qi Cultivation who were clearly not simple. Their side had lost an early Second Stage.

The advantage was not with them.

When the wind blows hard, the tough get going.

The other two Carapace Wolves and the rest of the Demonic Beasts also took off, leaving behind the corpses of those slain by the Blood Marionette.

Yu Qingtan chose not to pursue them.

"Fang Ling, how are you?"

Yu Qingtan stepped forward and asked, she had decided to look out for Fang Ling.

"Cough cough~ I'm fine, just some minor injuries."

Fang Ling felt somewhat unable to meet Yu Qingtan's eyes, even through a layer of veil. Stay connected with M-V-L

"It's good that you're alright, and congratulations on your Foundation Establishment," said Yu Qingtan as she cast a Cleansing Spell and a Rejuvenation Spell on Fang Ling, also handing him a second-stage Healing Pill.

"Thank you!"

Fang Ling accepted the Healing Pill given by Yu Qingtan and swallowed it in one gulp.

But the guilt in his heart deepened further.

"Let's leave this place first."

Yu Qingtan said.

After all, such a commotion could attract something much stronger, which would bode ill for them.

"Okay," Fang Ling agreed, collected the Blood Marionette and the corpses of the Demonic Beasts, and left with Yu Qingtan.

Song Zhenbo and Ge Wenxiong also followed behind. Fang Ling's brows furrowed slightly, but since Yu Qingtan didn't say anything, he let them tag along.

Wang Hu and Old Wang, seeing that both Fang Ling and Yu Qingtan were formidable fighters, and with Song Zhenbo and Ge Wenxiong following them, reluctantly and indignantly walked away.

The other cultivators naturally scattered like birds and beasts.

The four arrived at the place where Yu Qingtan and Ge Wenxiong had eaten hotpot and finally stopped.

Her warning Formation had not been removed.

"You go and heal your injuries first," Yu Qingtan removed her veil, led Fang Ling into the Formation, and told him.

"Okay." Fang Ling found it even harder to meet Yu Qingtan's gaze and nodded, then he started to meditate.

The effects of cultivating with the Healing Pill would certainly be quicker and better.

"Son of Song, I hope all is well," Yu Qingtan approached Song Zhenbo with a graceful smile and said.

"Miss Qingtan, it's good you're unharmed!" said Song Zhenbo.

"I was lucky, just escaped a disaster," Yu Qingtan said indifferently.

Ge Wenxiong asked, "What disaster?"

Song Zhenbo sneered, "Miss Qingtan was put on a bounty by the Monkey-faced Eagle clan, and that scoundrel Qi Rui actually kidnapped her on her way to Tianxiang Valley. He probably intended to exchange her for Longevity Fruits with the Monkey-faced Eagles."

Hmph, "I had to use every trick in the book and endure endless hardships just to be lucky enough to escape," Yu Qingtan mused about the situation, the irritation making her teeth itch.

"So that's how it is, Qi Rui has done many evil deeds; he more than deserves death," said Ge Wenxiong.

"Snap~" The sound of a jade bottle shattering came from within the warning Formation, obviously indicating that Fang Ling had not deeply meditated.

In Fang Ling's heart, Qi Rui and the Monkey-faced Eagle clan had tread the path to their own doom.

The three took a glance at the warning Formation. Ge Wenxiong asked, "May I ask who this senior is?"

Song Zhenbo looked at Yu Qingtan as well, his heart already sour.

"He is my distant cousin, Fang Ling," Yu Qingtan revealed, also hoping it might quell some of Fang Ling's feelings for her.

In her past life, she was a true man, and the idea of pledging herself to someone was impossible.

"Cough... cough cough..."

Fang Ling's coughing was heard once again.

"So it is, Qingtan's cousin is so young yet has already achieved Foundation Establishment, truly a person of exceptional talent."

Ge Wenxiong spoke with a tinge of envy, he too should have achieved Foundation Establishment by now.

At the same time, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart.

Although Fang Ling was two years younger than Yu Qingtan, his actual age was not less than Song Zhenbo's, due to the Universe Light Pearl.

"It must also be because of his profound opportunities," said Yu Qingtan, who always thought Fang Ling was younger than her, though she had a venerable old grandfather with her.

"Miss Qing Tan also has unusual opportunities," interjected Song Zhenbo. As a disciple of Tianxiang Pavilion, she had reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation at such a young age, and her combat strength was substantial. He respected her ability to escape from a swarm of Monkey-faced Eagles.

Seeing how familiar Ge Wenxiong and Yu Qingtan were with each other made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

That's how it is when you fancy someone: even though he knew it was unlikely for him to have a future with Yu Qingtan, he still felt uncomfortable seeing her interact with other men.

Unknown to him, Ge Wenxiong was starting to feel the same way.

Unaffected by these romantic complications, Yu Qingtan herself had not realized any of this, but even if she had, she wouldn't care.

"It's all because the system forced me."

Yu Qingtan had accepted the fact that she was somewhat flawed.

She wasn't a perfect person, just a cultivator yearning for immortality.

With a chuckle, she said, "I've had some opportunities, heh."

Without going into details, Yu Qingtan did not elaborate, and neither did they ask further.

In the Cultivation World, who among those with notable accomplishments didn't have some stroke of fortune? Prying too deeply would be unbecoming.

The three of them chatted for a while longer before Fang Ling stepped out of the warning formation.

It appeared that he had made some sort of determination and finally looked into Yu Qingtan's eyes to say, "My injuries are almost healed, what are your plans now?"

"I plan to go back to Suichuan Immortal City with Brother Song, then head to Tianxiang Valley. What about you?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ling was silent for a couple of breaths before responding, "I'll escort you back to the Immortal City, and then I must continue my journey to gain experience."

"That sounds good!"

"Miss Qing Tan, then I shall take my leave first," Ge Wenxiong said as he clasped his fists.

"Here, take this and good luck!"

Yu Qingtan took out a box and handed it to Ge Wenxiong.

She felt Ge Wenxiong had the makings of a protagonist and decided to invest a little in him.

Inside the box were three Second Stage Wasteland Crystals.

Ge Wenxiong hesitated for a moment, then accepted the wooden box.

"Thank you!"

He bowed to Song Zhenbo and Fang Ling as well, before turning decisively and leaving the place.

Yu Qingtan went to retrieve her main body, and then the trio set off on the road back to Suichuan Immortal City.

On the way, the three of them spoke sparingly, focusing on their travel.

Two days later, they finally arrived outside Suichuan Immortal City.

"Brother Song, thank you for looking after me on our journey. You go into the city first, Fang Ling and I have some matters to discuss," said Yu Qingtan to Song Zhenbo after receiving a Divine Sense message from Fang Ling on the road.

Song Zhenbo glanced at Fang Ling.

"Alright!"

After Song Zhenbo entered the city, Fang Ling looked at Yu Qingtan and said, "Qing Tan, you know my feelings for you, I have reached Foundation Establishment, are you still unwilling to be with me?"

Yu Qingtan was somewhat taken aback by his direct approach but still replied earnestly, "Fang Ling, I am committed to the great Dao and do not wish to be entangled in romantic affairs."

"Solitary pursuit of the Dao cannot compare to braving the journey together," Fang Ling tried to change Yu Qingtan's mind.

"Fang Ling, I am truly sorry, my mind is made up."

Fang Ling stepped back a few paces, gazing at Yu Qingtan with a look of anguish in his eyes.

Feeling guilty, Yu Qingtan looked away.

"I won't give up, I'll wait for the day you change your mind!" he said.

In the end, Fang Ling left those words behind, departing with a stagger.
