He Song reacted quickly, turning his head to the side in an instant as if attracted by a distant scenery.
For a moment, a surprised look flashed across Chu Shuangshuang’s face.
Then, as if nothing had happened,
after clearing her throat, her entire demeanor suddenly became more dignified.
“Ahem, so Ping’er and Mr. He have arrived. Please come in and have a seat.”
With Chu Shuangshuang’s repeated invitations, the three people entered the small courtyard.
With a creak, the courtyard door closed behind them.
In the courtyard,
Chu Shuangshuang and He Song sat across from each other at a stone table.
In front of the three of them,
a teapot hovered in mid-air, as if held by an invisible hand, pouring tea into each of their cups.
As the teapot landed, a faint tea fragrance permeated the small courtyard.
Pinger picked up her tea cup and took a sip.
She instantly tasted the difference.
This tea…
It was much inferior to the one she had tasted from He Song before.
The spirit tea she had previously tasted at He Song’s cave mansion was the Foundation Establishment Spirit Tea he had specially bought from the sect.
Although not particularly precious, it had some benefits for Foundation Establishment cultivators, even if only a slight increase in mana.
Now, this tea tasted weaker, and the increased mana could be neglected.
However, even so, Pinger didn’t show any disappointment, even deliberately drinking another sip before putting down her tea cup. One was a Foundation Establishment Master, and the other a Qi-refining cultivator.
It was only natural that their belongings would differ somewhat.
Chu Shuangshuang was the senior sister who had led her own introduction to Master Qing Yue’s tutelage, so Ping’er naturally wouldn’t show any dissatisfaction.
Next to her,
He Song’s expression was unchanged, picking up the teacup in front of him and taking a small sip.
He didn’t show any difference either.
After nodding slightly, he took another sip.
Only then did he put down his tea cup and look at Chu Shuangshuang in front of him.
Chu Shuangshuang was still the same Chu Shuangshuang.
With a petite figure and beautiful face, she looked very well-behaved, but in reality, her character was quite bold.
It was a pity that she had failed to establish her foundation.
Her lifespan was now reduced to just a few decades.
A look of regret flashed in He Song’s eyes.
“Shuangshuang’s hospitality may be lacking, so do not take offense.”
With a flick of her fingers, Chu Shuangshuang used her spirit power to refill their tea and then said,
Hearing her words,
He Song and the others shook their heads, indicating that it was sufficient. Seeing this, Chu Shuangshuang knew that He Song and the others were only trying to be polite.
Nine years ago, when Ping’er succeeded in establishing her foundation, she had heard news of their success with Foundation Establishment as well.
At that time, she had felt the unpredictability of life, but was powerless to change it.
Fortunately, after nine years, her unwillingness had dissipated over time, otherwise, upon seeing the two of them, her emotions would not be so peaceful.
She, a disciple who had grown up by the side of a master since childhood, had failed to establish her foundation.
He Song and Ping’er, who used to be mere loose cultivators, had both succeeded in establishing their foundations.
With such a gap, it was fortunate that Chu Shuangshuang had known them for a long time and that their relationships were harmonious, otherwise, it was likely that her dao heart would be broken.
But now, seeing He Song and Ping’er treating her like nothing had changed, Chu Shuangshuang felt better, her smile becoming more sincere.
“Mr. He, I trust you’ve been well since we last met.”
“Before I was sent out of the sect, I always wanted to see Mr. He. Unfortunately, Mr. He was recuperating from injuries at that time, so I missed the opportunity to meet him.”
“I didn’t expect Mr. He to still remember what was said that day. Now that Mr.
He visits me personally, I feel quite flattered.”
With her gaze on He Song, Chu Shuangshuang said. He Song and Ping’er had a close relationship, and they had been acquainted with her for over 20 years.
Therefore, with He Song paying her a visit, she naturally wouldn’t neglect him.
Moreover, she was the one who originally asked to meet He Song. Now that He Song had come to fulfill his promise, she was naturally happy.
“I do not wish to hide the matter from you, junior sister. In addition to keeping my promise, I am also committed to fulfilling Master Qing Yue’s request to persuade you to return.”
“Ten years ago, Master Qing Yue had men tioned to me her longing for you.”
“Now, another ten years have passed, and I fear that Master Qing Yue’s yearning for you…”
As he spoke, He Song paused, hesitating to continue.
But in the end, he did not say anything more, only shaking his head and sighing.
When Master Qing Yue spoke to him about this matter back then, He Song still vividly remembered the look in her eyes.
Chu Shuangshuang had been here for over a decade.
In these years, although Master Qing Yue had not come looking for her, it was only because she knew Chu Shuangshuang’s personality, and did not want to force her to return.
To say that she didn’t miss her was impossible.
The fact that she was yearning to see her but had to entrust the matter of persuasion to someone else, as well as Ping’er’s invitation, was the reason He Song was here now.
“Yes, Master has been saying your name all these years, and from time to time, she would gaze at the direction of the Mountain Immortal City, lost in thought for a long time.”
“Master even told me that if I were to fail in establishing my foundation, she would still keep me by her side.”
“Senior sister, Master never blamed you. Let’s go back together, okay?”
At the side, seeing He Song suddenly bringing up the matter, Ping’er took advantage of the momentum to start persuading her as well.
The two of them came this time,
Not only to catch up with Chu Shuangshuang, but also to persuade her to return.
Now that He Song had started, Ping’er naturally wouldn’t lag behind.
After hearing He Song and Ping’er’s persuasion, Chu Shuangshuang’s face gradually became blank.
She had only run away to mountain Immortal City because she had failed in her Foundation Establishment and didn’t know how to face Master Qingy Yue.
But now, more than ten years had passed in the blink of an eye.
The sense of helplessness in her heart had long since dissipated.
The reason why she had not returned yet.
Was merely because she could not find a way to approach the subject with Master Qingy Yue.
She also missed Master Qingy Yue in her heart.
Therefore.
When He Song and Ping’er arrived.
And provided her with a way out.
Chu Shuangshuang naturally wouldn’t resist too much.
With the flow.
After much hesitation and Ping’er’s continuous persuasion, Chu Shuangshuang finally nodded and agreed to the matter.
In persuading her.
He Song did not make much effort.
Beyond being the first to initiate the conversation, the rest of the persuasion was done by Ping’er.
During this process, He Song did nothing but drink tea.
Only occasionally nodding in agreement with Ping’er’s words.
Apart from that.
He did nothing more.
However, even so, He Song had already fulfilled what he had promised to Master Qingy Yue, as well as Ping’er and Chu Shuangshuang.
He had met Chu Shuangshuang.
And had also tried to persuade her.
Although his efforts were not great.
But the result was good.
With Ping’er’s efforts, Chu Shuangshuang opened her heart quickly, and now was even discussing with Ping’er what gifts to bring back for Master Qingy Yue.
Seeing this, He Song naturally understood that their mission in coming here had been accomplished.
However.
Before He Song could relax.
The Sound Transmission Amulet hanging on his body was lighting up at this moment.
Seeing this, He Song knew in his heart.
Perhaps this time.
Master Fa Xuan’s order had really arrived.
At the side, Ping’er and Chu Shuangshuang were also attracted by the light.
For a moment, the small courtyard became quiet.
Ignoring the gaze of the two women beside him, He Song opened the Sound Transmission Amulet and casually took out a thin piece of paper from it.
“Elder He Song, has been in the Foundation Establishment for ten years, is now transferred to Jade Immortal City’s Herbs Immortal Workshop as a guardian.”
“In charge of all affairs of the Herbs Immortal Workshop.”
“Master Fa Xuan. ”
He Song raised an eyebrow slightly.
And sighed in his heart.
Sure enough.
Sure enough.
Given the Thick Earth Sect’s shortage of personnel, it was impossible for someone like He Song, who had just achieved Foundation Establishment Master-level fighting power, to be left idle.
But.
No sooner had He Song left the Thick Earth Sect than he received Master Fa Xuan’s order.
However, looking at the description on the paper, He Song couldn’t help but feel a sigh of relief in his heart.
Luckily, in the past ten years, he had been constantly improving his strength. Now, He Song’s power should be considered quite good among the Early Foundation Establishment Masters.
With enough strength, the position of Immortal Workshop guardian was quite suitable for He Song.
As a guardian of the Immortal Workshop.
One usually only needed to stay in the Immortal Workshop to protect it.
Of course, if you wanted to, you could also get involved in the affairs within the Immortal Workshop to earn more spirit stones.
However, these matters were usually not personally handled by the Workshop Guardians.
Beyond that, the Workshop guardian had no other responsibilities.
During the guarding process of the Immortal Workshop.
Whether it was seclusive cultivation.
Or studying skills.
Or experiencing all aspects of life within the Immortal Workshop.
All were acceptable.
However, if one were like Master Cheng Shan of Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, who suffered a great loss after going out for a trip, the annual salary of the Immortal Workshop Guardian would be reduced according to the extent of damage suffered by the workshop.
That was also the reason why Master Cheng Shan had mercilessly killed those evil cultivators at that time.
But for He Song.
He never minded the annual salary of the Thick Earth Sect.
That little bit of annual salary held no great temptation for He Song.
If he hadn’t been still thinking about the Golden Elixir Skill Means in the Thick Earth Sect’s Book Collection Pavilion, He Song might have returned to his cave mansion after learning the Foundation Establishment Skill of the Thick Earth Sect and embarked on seclusive cultivation.
Therefore.
When faced with a real crisis, He Song would naturally choose to flee for his life.
As for the Immortal Workshop?
What Immortal Workshop?
Was the Immortal Workshop more important than his own life?
Putting away the paper in his hand, He Song wanted to say something and then take his leave.
But he didn’t expect.
Just as he was about to speak.
Another light flared up from Ping’er’s body at this moment.
He Song saw it clearly.
It was the unique light of a Sound Transmission Amulet.
Pinger’s Sound Transmission Amulet also lit up at this moment.
Seeing this, He Song chose not to speak, and waited for Ping’er to finish reading the message from her Sound Transmission Amulet before saying his goodbyes..
