286: Chapter 147 Hehe, I am free now (3/3) 286: Chapter 147 Hehe, I am free now (3/3) “Hey, hey, Jin, you’re definitely drunk.”
Mingguang Dust stood up imdiately upon noticing sothing was off.
He had often been flung around by Jin Yanhua’s tail in the past, and in their early years of adventure, Jin Yanhua even wrapped him up with her tail to protect him when he was still young.
So at first, when he saw Jin Yanhua grab An Jing for questioning, he just felt a sense of ‘Ah, every newcor has to go through this, I guess,’ but as soon as he heard the question, he knew this was no playful roughhousing… This lady dragon with a low tolerance was truly drunk!
“I’m not drunk!
I’m at the peak of Divine Repository, how could I possibly be drunk!”
Mingguang Dust started to unravel the tail, rescuing An Jing while Jin Yanhua continued to rant—indeed, if she circulated her power she would not be drunk, but Mingguang Dust had brought Spiritual Wine that cleanses the soul spirit, and sensitive people, or dragons for that matter, letting such sensations fernt would naturally result in severe drunkenness.
Supporting Jin Yanhua, who was still thrashing her tail against the ground, pat-patting, Mingguang Dust, with a touch of helplessness, turned to the silent An Jing and the sowhat at a loss You Ruhui, saying, “I’ll go have a talk with Jin… She has bid farewell to several old friends in these recent hundred years.”
“Originally, the dragon race wouldn’t interact much with humans, but because of Endless Heavens, we et and then part… It’s indeed hard on her heart.”
Mingguang Dust took Jin Yanhua, who had started to hug his waist and wail, up above the clouds to clear her mind—after all, even a True Person of the Divine Repository is human.
When there’s deep friendship, there inevitably cos the pain of parting.
An Jing and You Ruhui exchanged a glance, sighed, and then began to clean up the courtyard.
“Actually…”
While cleaning, You Ruhui spoke softly, “Jin once asked the sa question.
But at that ti, her tone was gentler.”
“What was your answer?” An Jing turned his head towards her, but heard a sowhat unexpected response, “Perhaps… like yours.”
“Like mine?”
“Yes.” You Ruhui lowered her gaze calmly, saying, “If my father indeed died from court conspiracies, killed by Da Chen’s internal strife… If even a man like my father can die from this, then what’s the point of Da Chen’s existence?”
“An Jing, I think… since people have life and death, then nations naturally have their lifespans too.
Perhaps it’s ti.”
An Jing saw it.
He saw the fla burning in You Ruhui’s eyes, which were shaded by her downcast gaze.
Rage.
Such fire, he had seen in Bai Qinghan’s eyes.
He had also seen it in the eyes of many people fleeing disasters.
“Perhaps… indeed like .”
An Jing murmured.
What he wanted was not limited to Da Chen.
But actions speak louder than words, so faced with Jin Yanhua’s question, he remained silent.
As for now… he was indeed You Ruhui’s ally.
An Jing noticed that after he agreed, You Ruhui seed to be much more at ease, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.
That was enough.
The next day at noon, Jin Yanhua, who had sobered up, had returned to her original composed and savvy deanor, and the Great Void Altar was ready to be activated again.
“Honestly,”
Jin Yanhua said to An Jing, “you can also go with Ruohui—Guang has a lot on his plate next, and you won’t learn much following him.
You might as well co to our Ancestral Dragon Hall.”
“No matter how great the cause and effect, Heaven’s Will Cult can’t find our Ancestral Dragon Hall.”
Before Mingguang Dust could fret ‘Why are you trying to steal my disciple!
And what do you an he won’t learn anything?’ An Jing shook his head first, “No thank you, Jin.
My parents’ fate is currently unknown, and once you’re done with the Great Void Passage, I’m planning to use it to return to the Northern Border.”
“Ah?”
This ti, Jin Yanhua was genuinely shocked, “You?
Your parents?
Mars Guarding Heart and Taibai Fiend Destiny?”
“At least there’s no news of their death; as their son, I must go to look for them.”
An Jing’s mouth twitched, even though he completely understood the shock of the other person, he did indeed feel offended.
“Sorry.”
Jin Yanhua coughed and apologized earnestly, “That was indeed too presumptuous of …
Hey, Guang, won’t you help your own disciple?”
“Over at the Northern Border, the Barbarians are waging war.”
Mingguang Dust said helplessly, “Behind the Barbarians stand Hong Fu and i Yu’s two mountains.
The Northern Border was originally their territory before Da Chen developed it.
Now they’re just trying to reconnect with the region using the Frost Calamity as leverage…”
“What can I do going there?
Help them fight Da Chen in the na of the united Five Sects?
Although the Five Sects have their internal complexities, we are definitely allies when facing the oppression of Da Chen.
Our Bright Mirror Sect has a decent relationship with Da Chen, but if we encounter them on the northern battlefield, we’ll inevitably have to fight.”
“The mont I make a move, how will An Jing find his parents?
It’s better to give him a Divine Skill token, which will be more convenient for him to act on his own.”
“Moreover…
Jin, you might not be fully aware since you’ve been fiercely battling in the East Sea lately.”
At this, Mingguang Dust glanced at An Jing and You Ruhui, then said to Jin Yanhua, “There’s a big mission in the Southern Wilderness Hong State…
One of the ‘Refining the True Path’s’ Lingxiao…
has fallen from grace.”
“The Southern Wilderness Hong State is in chaos.
You know Old Xie is the True Spirit there.
After I finish things here, I’ll have to go help him out…”
This was the internal affairs of the Endless Heavens.
An Jing understood.
Endless Heavens was likely an organization connected by the Great Void, gathering individuals with potential and shared beliefs from across the ten continents of Embracing the Void, from North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent to Zhongheng Dao Continent, and then to the Southern Wilderness Hong State, with mbers everywhere.
And these martial artists from different regions, different continents, and different powers could use this platform to exchange resources and thereby grow rapidly.
Such news was normally top-secret, but An Jing and You Ruhui present there could be trusted, so there were no reservations.
“It’s quite similar to our cross-world traversal—but in the future, we can also join Endless Heavens, which is even more powerful.
All is well.”
Subdue Evil Sword Spirit shared an optimistic view, whereas An Jing pondered, “Fallen from grace…
I’ve heard this term for the second ti now.
What exactly does it an?”
But he was not in a hurry.
It was ti to say goodbye to everyone.
“Goodbye.”
Standing at the top of the altar with Jin Yanhua, You Ruhui waved at An Jing, “Next ti we et, I’ll have beco much stronger!”
Compared to when she first t her, You Ruhui had beco much more cheerful and her gaze much more resolute, shaking off the worry and bewildernt from those tis.
Granny Huai and An Jing, Mingguang Dust and Jin Yanhua, everyone had brought her strength, letting her realize she was not alone in this world.
Whether it was for revenge or growth, there would always be others with her.
That was enough for her.
She did not wish to contemplate the distant future just yet; You Ruhui only wanted to do well in the present.
“So then, Master, Jin, and Ruohui…
For now, farewell.”
An Jing also waved—Mingguang Dust was heading to Central Continent to attend to so matter, which An Jing didn’t inquire about.
After all, these people of Endless Heavens were used to traversing the ten continents in their daily lives.
“When I return, I’ll take you back to the Northern Border.”
Mingguang Dust also advised carefully before departing, “Practice diligently.
You are always focused when training, so I’m not worried.
The Heaven’s Will and True Demon sects have been swept clean, the area is safe…
but rember not to cause too much of a disturbance.
The altar may be concealed by the Illusionary Light Formation, but it can’t fool determined powerhouses.”
“I understand, Master.”
An Jing bowed in respect—Mingguang Dust had truly been sincere with him, imparting both teaching and learning, and even arranging for soone specialized to teach him the killing thods he was not good at.
An Jing always inspired confidence.
The three turned their heads and stepped toward the activated Great Void Altar.
They vanished at the far end of the altar, and the light faded.
“Huh…
Has everyone left?”
An Jing watched the empty altar, feeling a touch of loss in his heart, but also a sense of ‘freedom.’
Now, he was indeed ‘alone’…
and compared to his initial arrival in Ming City, he had practically maxed out his reputation among both the common folk and officials of Ming City!
In that case, it was ti.
—Heh heh, inter-world trade, it’s about to begin!
