Chapter 852: Chapter 613: Going With the Flow, Heading to the Far West Lands_2

"But these two children, their attitudes are very vague, so I used the excuse of worldly spirit concealment training to let them be together day and night, and naturally, they developed feelings!"

"Good!"

Knowing Muxue’s background and Xiang Zhen’s kind intentions, Wang Yang nodded in agreement.

Being able to matchmake a couple can also be considered an accumulation of merit. After all, he was quite bored along the way; having these two around would certainly add much fun. Seeing Wang Yang agree, Xiang Zhen was very pleased.

He then had someone take Wang Yang and Su Yue to rest, while he went to inform Cao Man and the others of the news.

During the night, Wang Yang assisted Su Yue in refining and absorbing the effects of the Divine Martial Pill, and Su Yue was on the verge of a breakthrough because of this!

After giving a brief greeting, Wang Yang went down the mountain with Cao Man and Muxue, while Su Yue remained in True Martial Sect for a closed-door breakthrough. Wang Yang felt completely at ease!

The three headed for True Dragon City; before leaving, they naturally took care of their matters. Liu Wen’s inn was still in ruins, utterly dilapidated!

At this moment, Liu Wen stood at the entrance of the inn, his gaze into the distance, with a little girl beside him looking puzzled. A tender voice asked.

"Grandpa, why are we still here when the inn has collapsed?"

"Because someone is going to build us an even bigger one!"

"Is it the big brother who promised us yesterday?"

"Yes! That big brother is the Young Sect Master of the True Martial Sect, very powerful!"

"How powerful? Is he more powerful than you, Grandpa?"

Seeing the curious look on the little girl’s face, Liu Wen’s eyes were filled with deep affection. He nodded and said with a smile.

"Much more powerful than Grandpa!"

Perhaps Cao Man wasn’t a match for Liu Wen now, but in the future, he would surely surpass. Among the younger generation, Liu Wen had the highest hopes for Cao Man; otherwise, he wouldn’t reside beneath True Dragon City and never leave.

Taking care of his granddaughter was one reason; more importantly, it was peaceful under the influence of the True Martial Sect.

"More powerful than Grandpa? Yu’er doesn’t believe it!"

The little girl named Lingyu wasn’t Liu Wen’s biological granddaughter but a descendant of an old friend. Yet, in Liu Wen’s eyes, he treated Lingyu just like his own granddaughter, doting on her immensely.

"Grandpa is getting old, the future of this world belongs to you young people!"

"Grandpa is not old at all, Yu’er will still take care of Grandpa when I grow up!"

Hearing Liu Wen’s tone, Yu’er suddenly became anxious and said hurriedly. Just as Liu Wen was about to comfort her, he sensed the approach of Wang Yang and the other two.

"Old Liu, I’m here to settle accounts with you!"

Before the person arrived, his voice came first. Then, Cao Man appeared first, respectfully saluted Liu Wen, and spoke again.

"I’ve already arranged for disciples from True Martial Sect to come later to rebuild your inn. If you have any requirements, just speak them!"

"Then this old man thanks the Young Sect Master!"

Liu Wen smiled broadly, not caring much about the inn itself, but more about gaining the friendship of Cao Man and the True Martial Sect, which was very valuable.

The True Martial Sect, even the peak Cultivation Sect of celestial Mountain, held no significance for Liu Wen, but Lingyu had not yet grown up and needed a safe place to stay.

Liu Wen couldn’t take care of Lingyu all his life. There were things he had to do, but due to Lingyu’s young age, they had been postponed.

Only Liu Wen knew Lingyu’s background and the bloodline flowing within her. The True Martial Sect was the most suitable place for her!

Although relying on some connections could have allowed Xiang Zhen to take Lingyu in, Liu Wen didn’t want to do that because the conditions for awakening Lingyu’s bloodline power were very strict.

Directly entering the True Martial Sect wasn’t the best choice.

"You are too kind, Old Liu. It’s what I should do. Farewell for now!"

Cao Man clasped his hands in salute and was about to turn and leave when Liu Wen’s gaze suddenly fixed on Wang Yang and Muxue, and he quickly spoke up to stop Cao Man.

"Please wait, Young Sect Master!"

"Is there something else, Old Liu?"

Cao Man turned back, somewhat puzzled, as he had already explained everything clearly. It was unclear why Liu Wen suddenly spoke up now.

"This old man is bold enough to ask if the two friends behind the Young Sect Master are Miss Muxue of the Lingyin Sect and Young Master Wang Yang of the Qingcheng Mountain Sect?"

"Old Liu, you recognize them?"

"Young Master Wang Yang visited the inn yesterday, so this old man naturally recognizes him. As for Miss Muxue, her aura is faint and elusive. This is not intentional but because the Lingyin Sect has been concealing their aura for many years!"

After Liu Wen explained, Cao Man turned to look at Wang Yang and Muxue with an inquisitive look, clearly waiting for their reaction.

Wang Yang smiled and stepped forward, clasping his hands and saluting as a junior.

"Greetings, Old Liu. During your storytelling yesterday, you suddenly paused and focused your Divine Sense on me. I assume you discovered something?"

"Hehe, the mysteries of the celestial secret cannot be spoken!"

Liu Wen smiled and shook his head. Probing the celestial secret was already against the Heavenly Dao; knowing it for himself was enough. Once spoken, it would surely incur heavenly retribution.

"It seems Old Liu knows a bit about me. I wonder why you suddenly stopped us. What do you need?"

Wang Yang also understood the cause and effect of the celestial secret and didn’t pursue further, directly asking bluntly.

"To be honest, young master, this old man indeed has a request!"

Seeing Wang Yang being so straightforward, Liu Wen also went straight to the point. Cao Man and Muxue were curious, as Liu Wen was highly respected in the Cultivation world, so it was surprising he would have something to ask of younger people.

"Please speak, Old Liu!"

Wang Yang was also curious to know what such a highly skilled and respected person like Liu Wen would ask for.

"I would like to ask the young master and his two companions to take my granddaughter Lingyu with you to the Youdu Mountain Range!"

As soon as Liu Wen finished speaking, Wang Yang’s expression changed, and Cao Man and Muxue were even more astonished. They only learned about the Youdu Mountain Range matter recently.

Yet Liu Wen confidently spoke as if he knew long before!

"Old Liu’s celestial secret technique is indeed unparalleled, but shouldn’t you give us a reason to agree to this?"

Liu Wen had previously mentioned that he could probe the celestial secret and knew some of Wang Yang’s secrets, so deducing the Youdu Mountain Range trip wasn’t difficult.

Yet the Youdu Mountain Range lay at the intersection of the Yin Yang Realms, filled with dangers. It seemed unreasonable to take a seven or eight-year-old girl along.

Wang Yang knew this, and Liu Wen must know it too. But Liu Wen still made such a request, indicating Lingyu might have a similar ability to Wang Yang, capable of evading or ignoring the life-threatening aura of the Youdu Mountain Range!

"I know what the young master desires: Lingyu can lead you to find the Shadow Youlan!"

"It seems that in front of Old Liu, there are indeed no secrets!"

Wang Yang smiled helplessly. Liu Wen’s mystical abilities seemed to exceed his expectations. From Flower Maiden Xiahe, he could deduce all this, reaching the peak of celestial secret divination.

"You jest, young master. Here is a letter; please read it alone!"

"Is Old Liu certain I’ll agree to your request?"

Wang Yang didn’t refuse and took the letter, placing it in his pocket, smiling as he asked.

"You are a smart person, young master. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have agreed to Xiang Zhen to take Cao Man and Muxue for training!"

"So you knew I would agree to this after meeting Muxue. Alright, I’ll do you this favor; perhaps in the future, Old Liu, you’ll return this kindness!"

"I knew the young master was wise!"

Old Liu smiled wryly. What should have been an equal deal was turned into a favor by Wang Yang.

"I’ll read the letter. Meanwhile, Old Liu, please instruct Lingyu to behave on the road!"

"Of course!"

Liu Wen turned and pulled Lingyu aside, whispering in her ear. Lingyu nodded seriously, but her eyes revealed deep reluctance.

Finally, Liu Wen placed a finger on Lingyu’s forehead as if unlocking some seal. Suddenly, a dense aura of death erupted from within Lingyu!
