The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 680 Qingchan Emerges from Seclusion, Taking Another Step Forward (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

Thunderous City, Gu Family Residence.

An extremely subtle spiritual fluctuation spread out, but disappeared in an instant.

Inside the secluded meditation chamber, a dazzling spiritual light shone, its atmosphere indescribable.

Gu Qingchan sat gracefully on the cloud couch, her pale blue skirt blooming like a lotus flower, as blue as the sky, and as deep as the essence of ice.

Under the shimmering light of pale blue, a palm-sized, crystal-clear ring floated in front of Gu Qingchan.

The ring seemed to possess a spirit, its pale blue light shimmering like a shooting star streaking across the deep night sky.

"After months of arduous training, I've finally made another step forward!"

Gu Qingchan slowly opened her eyes, her gaze as bright as the stars.

Since meeting Senior Night Owl, she has gained clarity of mind and, using the token of their love, has secluded herself to cultivate diligently, sketching out the image of her destiny.

Now, with the mission accomplished and the six spiritual runes inscribed, the Jade Balance has finally reached its later stage of perfection in the traditional sense.

but.
Her ambition is to reach the heavens, aiming to use seven or even eight spiritual runes to break through the three barriers of the breakthrough realm, achieve harmony between heaven and man, and attain the realm of martial arts mastery.

hum~
With a sudden burst of inspiration, the Ruyi Linglong Ring, her natal divine weapon that had been refined many times, was stored within her brow and heart.

Beneath Gu Qingchan's peerless elegance lay a porcelain-white, jade-like baby face. A pale blue mark between her eyebrows blurred out, and the flowing light formed by the auspicious jade ring completely disappeared.

In terms of normal quality, the Ruyi Linglong Ring naturally does not meet the standard for being included in the Eyebrow and Heart Platform. However, unlike ordinary divine weapons, the Ruyi Linglong Ring, as a natal divine weapon, naturally possesses special divine power.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden True Scroll she cultivated recorded a unique method: the method of refining one's natal divine weapon.

A practitioner of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden True Scroll can only possess one natal divine weapon in their lifetime.

She chose the Ruyi Linglong Ring.

This item, lost and then recovered, was added by Senior Night Owl. It contains her experiences and the thoughts of her inner demons. Thus, she gained two things at once and refined them into her natal divine weapon, which can break through the barriers of her inner demons.

In just a few months, her martial arts skills improved further, and she also upgraded the Ruyi Linglong Ring to the level of a powerful divine weapon.

She possesses the top-tier divine weapon, Snow Soul Silk, and doesn't think much of ordinary powerful divine weapons. But her natal divine weapon is different.

As her natal divine weapon, the Ruyi Linglong Ring is naturally compatible with her. When activated by the Xuan Nu's will, it can unleash extremely terrifying power.

Even though the Ruyi Linglong Ring is still just an ordinary divine weapon, under her activation, it can still have an extremely terrifying boost, enough to show the power of a formidable divine weapon.

Now that the divine weapon's grade has been upgraded, and it is activated using the method of refining one's own destiny, the power it unleashes is probably close to that of a top-tier divine weapon.

As a senior member of the Gu family, and in charge of the family's interests in Leiming, Gu Qingchan possesses many treasures.

However, most of the precious minerals and materials were consumed on the Ruyi Linglong Ring.

According to the will of the Mysterious Maiden, one can refine one's natal divine weapon by adding precious materials and spiritual objects to continuously improve the quality of the divine weapon.

The upgrade of the Ruyi Linglong Ring's grade naturally requires her refining.

Through her refinement and with the investment of a large amount of resources, the Ruyi Linglong Ring is now very close to becoming a top-quality divine weapon.

In fact, if she hadn't lacked a key mineral, she might have been able to refine her natal divine weapon to the highest level among powerful divine weapons in one go, before she could have emerged from seclusion.

However, that's clearly unlikely now.

"The precious mine is lacking."

Gu Qingchan's eyes shone like stars, with a pale blue light that made her look like an empress who ruled over ice and snow.

This stunningly beautiful ice queen slowly rose, her wide sleeves fluttering gently, her face as radiant as the morning sun.

The light blue dress shimmered with iridescent light, and the light blue mark between her brows shimmered with a halo of light, making Gu Qingchan's already elegant and noble temperament even more dignified and peerless.

As soon as Gu Qingchan emerged from seclusion, she caused a stir at the Gu family's residence.

"Greetings, Elder!"

"Congratulations on the Elder's return from seclusion!"

"."

Amidst the congratulations, Gu Qingchan learned about what had happened during her seclusion.

"Send orders to all sides: amidst the uproar over the mountain expedition, swift and decisive action will be taken. The Blood Owl Gang will submit, the Left Path Alliance will bow down, the Black Spirit Sect will yield, and the Five Families' Qiankun Division will impeach them?"

"Peaceful resignation from Lei Ming!?" After learning the last piece of information, a cold glint appeared in Gu Qingchan's star-like eyes.

"How dare you think the Gu family has no one to rely on!"

Gu Qingchan stood atop the pavilion, overlooking the entire Thunder City, her eyes lowered, as still as a frozen pool.

"It seems that I have been in seclusion for too long, and some people have forgotten that this thunder is not just a problem for the Gu family."

The news of Gu Qingchan, an elder of the Gu family, emerging from seclusion spread throughout the entire Thunder City at an extraordinary speed.

For a moment, thunder shook the earth.

Some were filled with fear and anxiety, some remained calm, and some watched coldly from the sidelines.

Thunder rumbled from all directions, evoking diverse reactions and a cacophony of emotions.

But without a doubt, one thing is certain: the Gu family's power, which had been dormant for some time, surged once again the moment Gu Qingchan emerged from seclusion.

From the moment Gu Qingchan, the master of the Ice Soul Divine Needle, took charge of Thunder Mountain, the reputation of being the number one expert in Thunder Mountain Range had already been bestowed upon her.

"Trouble."

On the afternoon of the same day that Gu Qingchan announced her departure from seclusion, a dashing swordsman with bright eyes and striking features arrived at the gate of the Gu family's residence.

"Please inform him that Feng Wuhen requests an audience."

The guard at the gate, not daring to be careless, bowed respectfully and said, "Lord Feng, please wait a moment."

Then he jogged to report to the authorities.

Given the Gu family's influence in Leiming, they wouldn't normally need to act this way. However, Feng Wuhen is no ordinary person; as the chief retainer of the Leiming Town Guard, he is a true top-level figure within the Leiming Town Guard.

Furthermore, with the support of the demons' encirclement and suppression, Feng Wuhen's influence is now at its peak, and even a family like the Gu family has to treat him with utmost respect.

Although the Gu family is better off, there is naturally no way to be impolite or offend them without any instructions or orders.

"Qingchan."

Feng Wuhen stood in front of the Gu family's residence, his face full of anticipation.

After months apart, his longing grew ever stronger. It would have been alright if there had been no hope, but once hope appeared, the longing became impossible to suppress.

Upon hearing that Qingchan had emerged from seclusion, he rushed over immediately, showing utmost courtesy and paying her a visit.

The steward at the garrison went inside for a long time, but did not return to report.

Looking at the vast Gu family compound, Feng Wuhen hesitated, suddenly feeling a sense of loss.

"Qingchan wouldn't refuse to see him, would she?"

"That's true. Qingchan has just come out of seclusion and is very busy. If there's nothing important, she wouldn't easily find the time. He was too worried and made a mistake."

"Should we go back now? Or leave a message to express our apologies? Or perhaps we should wait a little longer?"

"Although Qingchan probably won't have time to see him, what if she does?"

Seeing that no reply had come for a long time, a hint of anxiety appeared on Feng Wuhen's calm face.

Having been rejected so many times, he had become somewhat immune to it. But sometimes, the hardest part isn't the rejection itself, but the moment before the outcome is revealed.

I was filled with both anticipation and worry, tormented by inner turmoil and anxiety.

The more anxious you are, the less likely the outcome will be revealed.

The whole process was too mentally taxing.

Even a top-tier master like the Cloud Hidden Swordsman, who has achieved great success in cultivation, cannot help but fall into such a predicament while waiting for the reply from the person he admires.

At the gate of the compound, the guards kept their eyes down, their noses down, their mouths down, and their minds down, not looking at anything else.

Feng Wuhen's admiration for the elder was common knowledge. His previous offer to marry into the family but being rejected became the talk of the town.

But some things are one thing to laugh about behind someone's back, but quite another to show it to their face.

This is especially true when the person in question is a local tycoon.

They dared not look too closely, fearing that seeing Feng Wuhen's appearance might cause a change in their hearts and make him notice something strange.

This could easily lead to trouble, and it would truly be an undeserved disaster.

In the deathly silence, Feng Wuhen's inner torment was truly indescribable.

"There should be news soon, right!?"

"Qingchan will see me, Qingchan won't see me, Qingchan will see me."

Amidst Feng Wuhen's anxious and uncertain state of mind, a local steward rushed out in a hurry.

"Lord Feng, the elder requests your presence."

Upon hearing this, Feng Wuhen felt as if he were listening to celestial music; his eyes shone brightly, and his expression was one of indescribable joy.

"Qingchan has seen me!"

Overjoyed and excited, Feng Wuhen finally saw Gu Qingchan, whom he had been longing to see.

Only after experiencing rejection many times do you know what it feels like to agree.

At this moment, without a doubt, Feng Wuhen was happy.

Qingchan finally understood his true feelings.

Looking at Gu Qingchan in front of him, Feng Wuhen suppressed his excitement and greeted her respectfully, "Greetings, Elder."

“Lord Feng, you are not a member of my Gu family, there is no need to address me like that.” Gu Qingchan’s voice was like a clear spring, flowing gently into Feng Wuhen’s heart.

"I apologize for my rudeness, Grandmaster." Looking at the stunning beauty not far away, Feng Wuhen was in a daze, as if in a dream.

Today, Gu Qingchan exudes a more dignified and domineering aura than in my memory; every gesture and movement reflects the presence of someone in a superior position.

Adorned with jeweled hairpins and a pale blue palace dress, she was breathtakingly beautiful, like an empress holding power, overlooking the entire world.

Looking at the beautiful woman before him, Feng Wuhen's eyes showed admiration, and during their conversation, he couldn't help but take a small step forward.

Gu Qingchan's starry eyes sparkled, her brows furrowed slightly, but she said nothing.

Feng Wuhen was thrilled, feeling that today was the most enjoyable day he had had in months.

"Closer, closer, one step closer."

Even as he left, Feng Wuhen remained immersed in this feeling, filled with satisfaction and anticipation.

When Qingchan saw him this time, they didn't talk much; she mainly asked about Chen Ping'an, the ruthless swordsman. But he didn't feel dejected at all; instead, he felt a fire burning brightly within him, its flames surging.

Even though Gu Qingchan had already clearly told him that her heart belonged to someone else and that he shouldn't have any more fantasies or improper thoughts, as long as he saw hope, he didn't feel discouraged at all; on the contrary, he felt full of fighting spirit.

Liking something is a very personal thing.

Whether Qingchan likes it or not, it doesn't affect his liking for it at all.

Feng Wuhen, radiant and full of energy, strode out of the gate of the garrison.

Qingchan, I'm here. I've always been here.

One day, if you turn around, you'll find that I've always been here.

Feng Wuhen silently recited this in his heart.

One day I will prove that I am the right match for you.

With high spirits, Feng Wuhen strode forward, as if he had stepped into a new world.

"Imperial Decree Granting the Blood Owl Gang"

Gu Qingchan, dressed in a light blue dress, stood quietly on the jade steps of the main hall.

Although she understands some things, there is still a certain information gap.

Although it can be resolved with some time, it's just as well as Feng Wuhen who happened to be there, so asking him would be the same thing.

As one of the parties involved in the demon siege and the thunderous expedition, Feng Wuhen's information should be more accurate than that obtained through ordinary channels.

Since Chen Ping'an was involved, she didn't want to waste too much time. Naturally, the sooner she could seize the opportunity, the better.

She had known about Feng Wuhen's feelings for her for a long time.

She repeatedly rejected his affections, and in the past, she was mindful of Feng Wuhen's feelings and didn't express them directly.

But when Feng Wuhen was willing to become her son-in-law and form a Daoist partnership, she made her stance very clear from that moment on.

Gu Qingchan already has someone she loves, and this love will last forever, never changing. Throughout her life, Gu Qingchan will only have one person in her heart, so please, Feng Wuhen, don't think of anyone else.

After that, whenever Feng Wuhen came to visit, she mostly refused and kept her distance.

But judging from Feng Wuhen's appearance today, it was clear that he hadn't listened to a word she said.

Normally, Gu Qingchan might have been a little annoyed, but now she has become calm and indifferent.

If you repeatedly refuse something and can't achieve the desired result, then completely ignoring it is the best response.

Some things become harder to get rid of the more you cling to them or refuse to accept them.

Instead of being vague and indecisive, it's better to take a clear stance.

In fact, if Senior Night Owl were willing, she would immediately form a Daoist partnership and completely sever ties with these unwanted romantic advances.

Can.
Gu Qingchan gracefully descended the jade steps, her wide sleeves billowing and her long skirt swaying. A faint blush appeared on her delicate, fair face. Her thoughts drifted back to that night.

"Whatever Qingchan has, Senior can take as you please." Under the dim lamplight, Gu Qingchan's face was reflected, delicate and rosy, as soft and beautiful as a cloud, full of expectation. Her light blue palace dress was inlaid with shimmering pearls and gemstones, carrying the depth of the starry sky and a touch of indescribable dreaminess.

"Could it be that your heart, senior, is truly as hard as iron?"

She had offered herself to him, only to be rejected by Senior Night Owl. She bit her lower lip, her face filled with sorrow, her black hair clinging to her cheeks, giving her a poignant and pitiful appearance.

But the feelings of my elders.
Yet it was as hard as iron and stone.

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and left.

"senior."

Watching that departing figure, she abandoned her reserve and ran straight after it.

"Will you stay tonight?"

Her cheek rested against her senior's back, her figure trembling with anticipation and longing.

Can.
Gu Qingchan's thoughts returned to the present, and all she saw was a deathly silence.

Outside the main hall, the garden, full of life, seemed to have lost its luster.

"Senior Night Owl." A flash of inspiration struck Gu Qingchan, and a coarse linen shirt appeared in her hands. It was the most common and ordinary style on the market, but she treasured it like a rare gem. Holding the shirt, her eyes were full of affection and longing.

"As fate brings us together, as flowers bloom and fade, if we are destined to meet again, we will surely meet once more. If we are destined to be together, then let us continue our bond today."

hum~
Inside the room, command flags and battle flags fluttered and circled in all directions.

A colorful pearl floats in mid-air, radiating a dazzling light with iridescent waves.

Chen Ping'an sat cross-legged, concentrating intently.

After many days of preparation and accumulation, the spiritual energy he infused into the outer layer of the pearl has met the requirements, and now is the crucial moment.

If we can make further progress, then everything else will fall into place naturally. If we fail, then it will take many more days to reach the next target.

Success or failure hinges on a single thought.

Chen Ping'an's brows shone brightly, his martial arts realm of breaking through three levels had been pushed to its limit.

At this moment, any slight oversight could lead to his failure.

Under his control, spirituality spread in an orderly manner, beginning to cover the Dream Orb.

The pearl was surrounded by an invisible barrier, creating immense resistance that made it difficult for spiritual entities to approach. However, after so many days of preparation, the spiritual entities that had penetrated it naturally met the requirements for coverage.

Once the spiritual coverage is complete, it means that the ritual can begin.

If there is any remaining trace of his aura, then the mark can be washed away with a gentle, persistent effort. If not, it is even simpler; his unique mark can be applied.

hum~ hum~ hum~
Inside the room, the light flickered continuously.

However, under the cover of the Azure Flame Four Directions Command Flags, every change in spiritual light was trapped within this one space.

Chen Ping'an carefully controlled the device; his control was extremely precise, and he could grasp every subtle change precisely.

This level of control, besides being naturally endowed by the Golden Finger Panel, is inseparable from his long-term cultivation.

Time passed slowly, and I don't know how much time had gone by.

at last
The last trace of spiritual energy arrived, and the spiritual power completely enveloped the entire Dream Orb.

"It's done!"

Chen Ping'an looked delighted and felt a sense of relief.

With the spiritual energy covering it, the formal ritual will now begin.

With the groundwork laid, the rest will fall into place naturally.

Based on his past experience, whether he could successfully refine it was just a matter of time.

He has plenty of patience when it comes to time.

He spent several months refining the Black Profound Iron Mask, but he had even more patience for the Illusionary Dream Pearl.

Chen Ping'an's expression brightened, and his mind became focused once again.

boom!
As his spirituality surged forth, a booming sound seemed to ring in his ears.

"This is..." Chen Ping'an looked shocked. In his spiritual perspective, he saw an extremely shocking scene.

In the boundless space, like a galaxy, a dreamlike and ethereal pearl radiates a dazzling light, illuminating the entire area.

Countless chains were wrapped around the jewel, which prevented the shimmering light from flowing freely, instead casting mottled shadows.

Within this space, the pearl was astonishingly large, as were the countless chains.

From Chen Ping'an's spiritual perspective here, he could only feel his own insignificance, as if he were standing before the eternal sun, where he was less than an ant.

The surrounding area was filled with mottled colors and shimmering light, grand and majestic, dreamlike and colorful.

"These chains."

Chen Ping'an stared intently and discovered that these chains were engraved with extremely complex spiritual patterns, densely packed together to form a complete chain.

There was more than one chain wrapped around the colorful pearl. Chen Ping'an tried to count how many there were, but he was dazzled by the sight.

Some chains appear to be two, but upon closer inspection, they become one. Others appear to be one, but as they wrap around each other, they seem to become two.

Intertwined, blended, layered, and constantly interacting.

"Refinement!"

Chen Ping'an focused his mind and used his spiritual sense to probe towards the outermost chain.

Compared to these chains, his spiritual energy was pitifully small.

But this energy instantly traversed vast spaces and touched the chains without any hindrance.

"It really works." Chen Ping'an was overjoyed and tried to refine it according to the method.

hum~
The spiritual light trembled slightly, appearing extremely small in the face of the enormous, boundless chains, and like an erosion, it eroded an extremely tiny part of the chains.

These chains were like inanimate objects, showing no reaction whatsoever to his encroachment.

As his spiritual energy eroded the chains, the once lifeless spiritual patterns began to glow with a faint light. Though weak, it was all too real.

"The spirit patterns are extraordinary!"

At that moment, Chen Ping'an had a sudden realization.

What exactly is the grade of this treasure?

As Chen Ping'an exited the consciousness space, a look of surprise remained on his face.

The breathtaking scene from his spiritual perspective, the dreamlike boundless space, left him with lingering fear.

Such a meteorological pattern is far beyond what ordinary treasures can compare to.

Chen Ping'an's heart was filled with turmoil, which gradually subsided.

When he opened his eyes again, his heart was as calm as still water.

"However, in any case, it can be considered a step forward."

After several days of preparation, his spirituality seeped into the outer layer of the pearl and entered its inner space, where he witnessed the dreamlike scene and gained a deeper understanding of the Dream Pearl.

Furthermore, although he didn't have much spiritual energy inside the jewel this time, he still made considerable progress.

This represents a further step forward in the refinement of the precious pearl.

Chains were wrapped around the pearl, as if blocking out divine intervention, firmly locking it in place. If Chen Ping'an wanted to fully refine this Dream Pearl, he would have to remove all these chains.

The way to remove them is simple: through spiritual erosion, triggering divine intervention to completely ignite these chains.

The chains are covered with extremely complex spiritual runes and restrictions. If all of them can be lit up, then one can control them as easily as using one's own fingers.

Once all the chains were removed, the shimmering light of the pearl was no longer obstructed and could unleash its full power.

However, as things stand, there is still a lot of work for Chen Ping'an to do before that day comes.

Based on his current assessment, the spiritual runes on these chains cannot be triggered or lit by ordinary spiritual energy. They are likely exclusive to the power of the soul; ordinary spiritual energy cannot even get in, let alone light them up.

Chen Ping'an found a loophole and used his powerful and indescribable spiritual energy, like water dripping on stone, to achieve an effect similar to that of divine soul power.

Fortunately, this step seems entirely feasible at present.

As long as it's feasible, that's enough for Chen Ping'an. Even if he only makes a little progress each time, as long as he continues, he will eventually be able to refine it successfully.

He had high hopes for this.

Chen Ping'an was prepared for a protracted battle in refining the Dream Pearl.

He spent several months refining the Black Iron Mask. He planned to spend even more time painstakingly working on the Illusionary Dream Pearl.

It might be a bit slow at first, but once his cultivation breaks through and his martial arts advance, the situation should get better and better.

However, everything must be done in stages. The first stage is to use spiritual erosion to trigger a chain.

When Chen Ping'an was eroding the chains, he had a sudden realization: the fewer chains that locked the pearl, the stronger the pearl's effect would be.

Once one of the chains falls off, the Dream Pearl might undergo a different transformation.

The process of refining the precious pearl is also the process of breaking free of the chains.

However, at this stage, this work is a slow and gradual process and cannot be rushed.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step! Dripping water can wear away stone, and a single spark can start a prairie fire. Let us persevere and forge ahead!"

Chen Ping'an's expression brightened, and he closed his eyes again.

hum~
The room was filled with a radiant light, just like the youth's original aspirations, which remain unchanged over time.

Over the next few days, Chen Ping'an devoted himself to cultivating the technique, imbuing it with spiritual energy.

After a few days of preparation, he focused his mind and manipulated the chains, igniting the spirit patterns.

Practice makes perfect, and the second time he did it, he was much faster.

However, the chains were extremely large, exceeding a thousand feet in length from a spiritual perspective alone.

He could only light up a small section of the chain each time; there was still a long way to go before he could completely light up the chain.

However, the chains binding the Dream Pearl are not just one.

However, the higher the difficulty of refining it, the more Chen Ping'an looked forward to the Illusionary Dream Pearl. Whether it was the shared damage mechanism between him and the Heavenly Luo Saintess, the Illusionary Dream Pact, or his need for a true protective treasure and trump card, all of these things made him extremely interested in this matter.

Whenever I have free time, I infuse spiritual energy into it, like water dripping on stone, laying the groundwork.

Once the spiritual energy that had seeped in had accumulated to a certain stage, he focused his mind on controlling it and began the refining process.

In these days, besides refining the Dream Pearl, the cultivation technique is naturally also of paramount importance.

After mastering the Seven Killing Heavenly Fist, he changed his focus and began practicing the incomplete Guanghan Sword Technique. It wasn't that he didn't want to perfect the Seven Killing Heavenly Fist in one go, but considering the experience and returns, practicing the Guanghan Sword Technique at this stage was the most cost-effective choice.

In addition, some of them also incorporate a bit of personal interest.

However, compared to the great undertaking of spiritual cultivation, these are all insignificant. The core reason is still a matter of cost-effectiveness.

Yes, that must be it.

Perhaps due to his improved cultivation level, Chen Ping'an's progress in practicing the Guanghan Sword Technique was quite fast.

With the added benefit of the Snow Spirit Leaf, the cultivation speed of the Guanghan Sword Technique was no slower than that of the Seven Killings Heavenly Fist.

hum~
Inside the room, the light flickered until it faded.

Chen Pingan slowly opened his eyes.

Name: Chen Ping'an
Realm: Late stage of Jade Balance - Breakthrough Three Barriers (Breaking through the Shell Barrier)
武学：青阳血炼法入门（0/5760）颠鸾倒凤·阴阳枢入门（0/8640）、广寒剑法（残篇）入门（521/2880）太虚御风步小成（0/5760）七杀天罡拳大成（0/9600）、霸刀圆满、七绝神功圆满、万魔铸身诀圆满
"521 point."

Chen Ping'an's expression remained calm and undisturbed.

"We've been in the state capital for a while now; it's time to head to Xuanling."

Xuanling City is located in Xuanling Prefecture, and it is not exactly close to Canglong Prefecture City.

It was fine in Thunder City before, but now that we've arrived in Azure Dragon Prefecture, it will take us several more days to travel.

If it were a regular vehicle, it would probably take even longer.

However, Chen Ping'an had a clear goal: he planned to go alone this time.

Both speed and agility will be greatly improved. The only drawback is that it might delay the progress of cultivation.

However, with the Xuanling Auction just around the corner, he didn't have much time to fuss over things and focused on efficiency.

His resignation from Leiming and subsequent retirement in the prefecture, along with a long trip, did not pose any other obstacles.

However, the required reporting is still necessary.

Well, tomorrow I'll go to the State Garrison Command to find Ning Zhengyue, and then I'll also visit the Gu family on the way.

With the groundwork laid beforehand, this trip proceeded smoothly and without any problems.

Once Chen Ping'an made up his mind, he slowly closed his eyes.

On the same afternoon that Chen Ping'an was making plans in his mind, a letter was delivered to him from the Thunder Mountain Range.

"Ok?"

Chen Ping'an's gaze faltered slightly, his expression somewhat complicated.

"Gu Qingchan invited me to travel with Xuanling?"
