It turns out, they were the main characters.

"I just did some normal cultivation, and before I knew it, I had reached the peak of the Divine Refinement Realm. I thought that was normal for most people." Mu Zhian said with a surprised expression.

"This is no normal person at all. This cultivation speed is probably comparable to that genius girl who came to see you a few days ago." Old Ren stared at Mu Zhi'an in astonishment.

“Aaa?” Lin Ling looked up at him, puzzled.

Mu Zhian seemed to know what Lin Ling was talking about, and explained with a smile, "She was one of my ex-girlfriends from Tianxuan City, but we've broken up, so don't worry about it."

Old Ren glared at Mu Zhian with annoyance and said, "It's a wonder you still remember."

"If you hadn't reminded me, I probably wouldn't have remembered," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Back when he was in Tianxuan City, while he may not have been a womanizer, he certainly managed to woo quite a few girls with his good looks.

In the past, a girl who happened to pass through Tianxuan City was also pursued and won over by Mu Zhian.

Old Master Ren sighed softly: "Three years ago, young master, you told her that after you resolved the Gongsun family's affairs, you would go and bring her back to marry you. But you probably don't even remember this."

"As a result, it's been almost three years since I left, and now they've come looking for me in person, and I have to clean up their mess."

"I dated dozens, if not hundreds, of girls back then. How could I possibly remember so many things?" Mu Zhian sighed helplessly, shaking his head.

These troubles were all caused before my memories were awakened, and now I've made up for all the bad things I did back then.

Lin Ling didn't seem to care much about the conversation between the two, and just kept her head down eating breakfast.

Mu Zhian watched the silver-haired beauty munching on a large meat bun and casually said, "So, she's come to the Mu family now because she wants me to fulfill the promise I made to her back then?"

The old man glared at Mu Zhian with annoyance: "You wish! You haven't contacted anyone for so long, and you expect them to still remember you?"

"She came to annul the engagement, saying that from now on, you and I are even!"

Mu Zhian was taken aback.

Then, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"That's good...that's good..."

There are already enough fish in the pond; any more and he won't be able to control them, and sooner or later he'll be devoured.

Old Master Ren was speechless. Seeing this silver-haired beauty and thinking back to Bai Ruoxi, he knew that the young master must have caused a lot of trouble after going to the sect. He could only give him a disgruntled look.

"By the way, Elder Ren, if I remember correctly, you should be a Xuan-grade alchemist now, right?"

Old Ren asked impatiently, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

"After a while, would you like to consider going to Yuzhou to hone your skills for a period of time?" Mu Zhian asked.

He knew that the old man had no hobbies other than alchemy, which was why he asked about it.

Old Ren was taken aback at first, then waved his hand and said, "No need. I'm already quite old, and it's inconvenient for me to go out. It's fine for me to stay at the Mu family's place."

This is the truth, but it was also done out of consideration for Mu Zhian.

The suggestion to go to Yuzhou... is very tempting.

However, Yuzhou is too far away from Dongzhou, and there are many alchemy masters there who are united in purpose. It is impossible for them to accept an old man who is almost halfway to the grave for further study.

"I'm serious. Isn't Elder Ren only interested in alchemy?" Mu Zhian asked, hoping that Elder Ren could take this opportunity to comprehend the Dao of alchemy and live for another thousand years.

Old Ren watched him grow up and was like family to Mu Zhian.

“Your alchemy skills can be further improved in Yuzhou, and there are also many medicinal formulas that are not available in the Eastern Continent,” Mu Zhian told him about the benefits of going to Yuzhou.

Old Master Ren hesitated slightly: "Young Master, are you confident? If we have to go to great lengths to ask for help, there's no need to do so."

“I happen to know someone there, she’ll agree, don’t worry,” Mu Zhian said with a smile.

His agreement with Luo Tan was that once he reached the Void Returning Realm, the two naturally born furnaces could engage in dual cultivation.

Now, he is only one step away from achieving the state of "Refining the Spirit and Returning to Emptiness".

Of course, we'll have to wait until after the ancestral worship ceremony is over... Mu Zhian raised his head and gazed in the direction of the Blue Clan.

"Aaaa?"

Just then, a pleasant voice pulled Mu Zhian back to reality from his thoughts.

Mu Zhian turned around and saw Lin Ling, who had already finished eating, resting her chin on her hand and looking at him with a puzzled look in her red eyes. She held up her small notebook and asked, "Do you want to go back?"

"The ancestral worship ceremony is still a few days away, we can set off tomorrow."

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled, "I'm thinking about other things now."

Lin Ling tilted her head: "Aaa?"

Mu Zhian took her hand and led her out of the restaurant. Then, under the gaze of her clear, innocent red eyes, he leaned close to her ear and whispered:

"I want to be a dragon knight."

……

In the blink of an eye, a day has passed.

The bright moon hangs high, carrying a slight chill in the air as spring arrives.

In a quiet and peaceful village, the occasional bark of a dog can be heard.

No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary village.

The only difference is that all the young people in this village have moved out, leaving behind only lonely and helpless elderly people.

The elderly people all had some health problems, some were lame, some were blind, and some had lost an arm.

On ordinary days, they can only survive by growing some wild vegetables and relying on supplies sent by the Morning Light Merchant Guild.

Life was simple and frugal, but peaceful and tranquil.

But tonight, the tranquility was completely shattered by the appearance of an old man.

hum!

As the space trembled, a ray of white light appeared, and an old man emerged from it.

He limped slowly, dragging his crippled leg, and appeared in the village.

In the old man's hands, he was also carrying an unconscious boy.

It was Huang Weifeng.

What's wrong with this child?

From that village of the disabled, an old woman with one eye blind walked shakily, leaning on a cane.

The old man sighed softly, "He was too impulsive. He went to the Lan family and offended the Azure Emperor's husband."

The old woman's cloudy eyes held a gloomy look. After a moment of silence, she sighed softly, "Let's send him away as soon as possible. The peace of the village cannot be broken again."

The old man nodded slightly: "In a couple of days, I will send him out of the village."

He glanced at the supplies piled up outside the village and asked, "Was Manting here a couple of days ago?"

The old lady shook her head and said, "Her sect had a small competition these past two days, and she was busy cultivating, so she couldn't come. However, she sent word through someone that she would come to visit us in a few days."

The old man's eyes showed considerable satisfaction, and he nodded slightly: "That child has a kind heart."

In the past, when the village was impoverished, it was the Morning Light Chamber of Commerce that provided supplies. At that time, Huang Manting would send people to visit the disabled elderly people in the village every few days.

"Yes, she's much kinder than Wei Feng," the old woman said, her words carrying a hint of sarcasm. Leaning on her cane, she slowly walked into the village.

The old man's gaze was deep as he stared in the direction the old woman had left. Suddenly, he spoke softly, "Golden Emperor."

Within Huang Weifeng's body, a wisp of golden light slowly shone, revealing the appearance of a holy radiant unicorn.

Its form was incredibly noble, and upon seeing the old man, it was overjoyed: "Heavenly Venerable, you have finally agreed to see me?!"

As soon as it finished speaking, it quickly fell silent under the old man's unintentional gaze.

“I am now just an ordinary old man, not the Dao Chu Tianzun you speak of.”

The old man said quietly, "Tell me everything that happened to this child when he went to the Blue Clan a couple of days ago."

Chapter 440, "Sending," the answer is "sending"! 5K

Two days later.

Mu Zhian and Lin Ling rode together in a carriage back to the Blue Clan's land. Lifting the curtains and looking down, they could see the landscape of this Eastern Continent.

A rich medicinal fragrance wafted into the air, and even an unknown crane spread its wings and swam along, accompanying us all the way.

Lin Ling lay prone in front of the carriage, her bright red eyes gazing intently at the cranes outside, seemingly deep in thought.

Mu Zhian turned his head and glanced at her a couple more times.

She didn't seem to realize there was anything wrong with her action, but from Mu Zhian's perspective, the scenery was completely different.

A white dress embroidered with cloud patterns hugged her lithe and shapely figure. Her hips were pressed against the soft couch, her silver hair was naturally draped down, and the silhouettes of the cranes outside were reflected in her red eyes. She looked like an innocent young girl.

Oh... if I had to say, she was indeed an innocent and naive girl.

Although her lifespan may be similar to that of the Azure Emperor, her temperament is still that of a young girl.

Mu Zhian glanced at the cranes that had followed them all the way outside and silently complained to himself: It's a good thing that Sister Lin Ling ate her fill before setting off today, otherwise you guys would probably be in the pot today.

Lin Ling possesses immense innate fortune, which attracts the affection of all living beings.

That's why these cranes followed us all the way.

Little did they know, the lady of the carriage wasn't admiring their appearance, but rather contemplating whether or not to start cooking the crane meat in oil...

"She clearly possesses immense and violent power, yet she acts as innocent and naive as a little girl." Mu Zhian sighed inwardly as he gazed at the silver-haired beauty leaning against the window.

However, it is probably precisely because of her pure heart that she was able to cultivate without distraction and advance to the Dao Integration Realm so quickly.

"Aaa?"

She noticed the boy's gaze behind her, turned around to look at him, and asked in a puzzled tone.

"It's alright, you can continue enjoying the scenery, don't worry about me," Mu Zhian waved his hand.

Lin Ling thought for a moment, then held up her notebook: "There are many delicious ingredients outside, more than in the sect."

You included those cranes in the ingredients too, didn't you...? Mu Zhi'an looked at her delicate face, met her gaze, and remained silent for a moment before saying, "You can speak, but you can't speak freely because of the Word Spirit Technique. Does that make you sad?"

Lin Ling shook her head: "I'm used to it."

"I am lucky to have been born, and she often tells me not to feel sorry for myself."
