Thinking of Chu Shuangshuang.

A hint of melancholy flashed in Master Qing Yue’s eyes.

Afterwards, she lifted her gaze and carefully observed He Song’s current appearance, her expression on her face gradually becoming gentler.

“Don’t mention the word ‘apprentice uncle’ anymore, now that you have reached Foundation Establishment, we should treat each other as equals. Just call me Qing Yue Daoist Friend from now on.”

“However, why did you come here to Green Wall Immortal City instead of breaking through within the sect?”

After snapping out of her daze, Master Qing Yue’s attitude towards He Song had clearly changed somewhat.

Although she was inherently cold in nature, and it would not be overly warm when she spoke.

But because she was already acquainted with He Song, the conversation also began to resemble friendly chatter between friends, rather than the dialogue between a senior and a junior as before.

Seeing this, He Song stopped looking at Master Qing Yue’s facial expressions.

It must be said that Master Qing Yue’s shocked expression when she first saw him has given He Song a deeper understanding of her.

This Master Qing Yue does not always have very few facial expressions.

At least, when encountering something that shocked her, the expression of astonishment on her face simply couldn’t be faked.

“In that case, I should call you Qing Yue Daoist Friend. I attempted Foundation Establishment two years ago and failed, losing some of my Dao Heart. I felt hopeless for my next breakthrough.”

“So I left the sect and came to the outside world to mend my Dao Heart.”

“Who knew I would be accidentally end up coming here…”

Leading Master Qing Yue into the inn, He Song casually explained the situation to her.

This was also part of He Song’s plan.

Only by informing Master Qing Yue about this would she be able to tell others what He Song wanted her to say whenever someone asked her about it in the future.

With such evidence, there would be no flaws in his story of breaking through away from the sect.

After all, everyone knew that He Song was brought into the Thick Earth Sect by Meng Guan.

And the starting point of He Song’s Immortal Path was the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion under the jurisdiction of Green Wall Immortal City.

It made sense for him to go there to mend his dao heart.

Thus, He Song’s plan had already been more than halfway executed.

Next, he just needed to return to the sect and meet with the Sect Leader Master, then he could continue to settle down in the Thick Earth Sect.

It seemed that with the Seven Star Sect besieging the gate for a long time without leaving, the war between Thick Earth Sect and Seven Star Sect should also come to an end within ten years, right?

With this thought in mind, He Song quickly brought Master Qing Yue to his room.

Sitting face to face, He Song personally began to brew some tea. “I see, I just thought that you should have been in the sect, so why did you come here?”

“But now that you have reached Foundation Establishment, do you need me to escort you back to the sect?”

Seeing He Song brewing tea for her, a strange light flashed in Master Qing Yue’s eyes, and she soon asked.

In her eyes, He Song had just reached Foundation Establishment Realm, but he hadn’t learned any tunneling skills or magic spells, and the artifacts he used were still of medium quality. Despite possessing Foundation Establishment cultivation, he lacked the strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Given the situation, her offer to escort He Song back to the sect was perfectly normal.

If an accident happened to He Song on his solo journey back to the sect, causing the Thick Earth Sect to lose a Foundation Establishment Master, that’d be a huge issue.

Although the chances were very slim, the war between the Thick Earth Sect and the Seven Star Sect had basically reached garbage time at this point, so she didn’t need to guard the Green Wall Immortal City every day.

There were several other Foundation Establishment Masters guarding the Green Wall Immortal City.

Thus, offering to take He Song back to the sect at this time was only natural.

Upon hearing this, He Song was delighted in his heart.

If Master Qing Yue accompanied him back to the sect, he would certainly save some effort in explaining himself.

At least upon entering the sect gate, he would not be interrogated.

The joy in his heart flashed by momentarily, but He Song remained expressionless.

Instead, he looked somewhat puzzled.

“Escort me back to the sect? Don’t you need to stay in Green Wall Immortal City, DAOIST FRIEND? The war between our sect and the Seven Star Sect hasn’t ended yet.”

He Song’s expression of astonishment was seamless.

Master Qing Yue didn’t notice any flaws either.

As a result, after hearing this, she nodded her head immediately.

“It doesn’t matter; there are several other Foundation Establishment Masters guarding this place. Since you haven’t yet gained the strength of Foundation Establishment Realm, I might as well escort you back to the sect and check on my apprentice.”

Accompanying He Song back to the sect was not a whim of Master Qing Yue. It was because Ping’er was on the verge of reaching Foundation Establishment, and she, as a master, had to bring some cultivation resources back to the sect for her, like Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

Her eldest disciple Chu Shuangshuang had already failed in her Foundation Establishment attempt.

This made her feel deep regret.

Now that her second disciple Ping’er was about to reach Foundation Establishment, she naturally wouldn’t ignore it as their master.

If Ping’er could succeed in Foundation Establishment, it would make her feel a bit better.

Accompanying He Song back to the sect was just a matter of convenience.

Even if He Song hadn’t broken through to Foundation Establishment here, she would have made a special trip back to the sect soon to see Ping’er.

“Thank you, Daoist friend.”

“However, a year ago, Sister Shuangshuang had said she wanted to meet me in person. At that time, I had failed to break through to Foundation Establishment and was healing my injuries, so I couldn’t see her.”

“Do you know where Sister Shuangshuang is now? If she’s nearby, I’d like to see her first.”

He Song nodded in response.

Then he remembered that a year ago, when Ping’er had sent him a voice transmission, she had mentioned that Chu Shuangshuang had failed her Foundation Establishment and was about to be sent elsewhere.

Before leaving, she had thought of the gift He Song had given her and wanted to meet him in person before she left.

U111UILUnctLe1Y, ne          ulull L nave Lile Lillie            Lilell,              Luey                L geu LU meet.

However, He Song had also said at the time that as soon as he was free, he would surely visit her personally.

Now that he had met Master Qing Yue, who was Chu Shuangshuang’s master, it made sense for He Song to ask her about Chu Shuangshuang’s whereabouts since she should be in the know.

With this in mind, he inquired if Chu Shuangshuang was with Master Qing Yue. If she were there, He Song wouldn’t have to go through all this trouble.

“After Shuangshuang failed her Foundation Establishment, she felt too ashamed to see me again and went to Lianshan Immortal City.”

Seeing He Song asking about Chu Shuangshuang, Master Qing Yue’s eyes dimmed, her heart feeling somewhat bitter.

However, she quickly seemed to think of something and brightened up, looking at He Song and eagerly requesting.

“Since you know her, if you see her again, please try to persuade her to return. As her master, how could I bear to blame her? Whether she succeeded in establishing her foundation or not, it would be nice if she could come back.”

Seeing the sudden change in Master Qing Yue’s expression, He Song had a thought.

It seemed that Master Qing Yue truly loved Chu Shuangshuang dearly.

It made sense, as the two were familiar with each other, and Master Qing Yue personally raised Chu Shuangshuang, with deep feelings between them.

However, He Song quickly waved his hand.

Signaling Master Qing Yue not to worry.

Then.

He continued to speak.

“Sir, don’t be like this. I didn’t know about this before, so I asked randomly. I hope you won’t mind.”

“As for the persuasion, I will do my best to persuade her. Please don’t worry.”

It was just persuasion.

It wasn’t guaranteed that he could persuade her.

He Song agreed, of course, without any pressure.

However, hearing that Chu Shuangshuang felt too ashamed to see Master Qing Yue after failing her Foundation Establishment and went to Lianshan Immortal City, He Song sighed in his heart.

Chu Shuangshuang only had four spirits roots.

The success rate of her Foundation Establishment wasn’t high.

Failure was a reasonable outcome.

But.

She was different from He Song, who had come up from being a loose cultivator, as she was a sect disciple who had been carefully cultivated by a master with Foundation Establishment since childhood.

She chose to escape to Lianshan Immortal City after failing Foundation Establishment and feeling ashamed to see Master Qing Yue again, which was quite normal.

Because in the hearts of sect disciples like Chu Shuangshuang.

Although they thought Foundation Establishment was difficult.

They always had more confidence in it.

So when they failed, they became even more upset and couldn’t let go.

Which led to this happening.

“Since you are willing to help, I won’t take offense.”

“It’s getting late. Why don’t we set off for the sect now? I think Ping’er must be getting impatient.”

Seeing He Song agree, Master Qing Yue visibly relaxed and finally wore a slight smile on her face.

Dne tnen Ill’lteu ne bong LO sec 011.

After He Song nodded and agreed.

Master Qing Yue waved her hand.

The spirit boat He Song had ridden on more than a decade ago shot out of her hand and stopped outside the inn.

They both got on the spirit boat.

Under Master Qing Yue’s control, the spirit boat soared into the sky, rushing towards the direction of the Thick Earth Sect’s gate.

Soon after the spirit boat left.

In Green Wall Immortal City.

Outside the inn where He Song had been staying.

Members of the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team left one after another.

Meanwhile.

The cultivators who were originally watching the commotion from the periphery were now gazing at the inn with deep gazes.

There was a man with an excited expression, standing in front of the inn’s entrance.

“I announce! From today onwards, this inn is officially renamed the Heaven Ascending Inn! ”

“Heaven Ascending Inn, where all who come may ascend to the heavens!”

“A Foundation Establishment master came out of this very place!”

That man was the innkeeper and also the owner of the inn.

Now that he saw He Song being taken away by Master Qing Yue to the Thick Earth Sect, he couldn’t help but jump out and rename the inn to the Heaven Ascending Inn.

For loose cultivators, Immortal Pavilion cultivators, and even Immortal City cultivators.

Stepping into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

It was like ascending to the heavens in one step.

With He Song successfully establishing his foundation here.

The name Heaven Ascending Inn was indeed fitting.

After renaming the inn to Heaven Ascending Inn, the innkeeper raised the room rates more than tenfold.

Even.

The room He Song once lived in was now incredibly expensive.

But even so.

The rooms in Heaven Ascending Inn were still in high demand.

However, He Song had no idea.

At this moment in time, He Song.

Stood side by side with Master Qing Yue on the spirit boat, gazing down at the vast, beautiful landscape below.

Like this.

Several days later.

The spirit boat they were riding finally crossed tens of thousands of miles of land, arriving at the location of the Thick Earth Sect’s gate.

“There’s Thick Earth Sect up ahead. Many years have passed since I last returned, but it still looks the same as before..”
