Chapter 452: A Grown Woman Won't Stay

I'm leaving.

Lin Chuan joked, "From now on it'll just be the two of us depending on each other for survival."

"Tsk," Lü Ya said skeptically, "They'll definitely come back, right, young master?"

How do you know?

Lin Chuan countered.

Lü Ya laughed, "Because you're not in a hurry, young master. Don't think I don't know—you care about the two sisters in your heart."

I suppose you already have a plan, young master.

Right?

Lin Chuan was speechless, "Lü Ya, you've become clever."

Lü Ya pursed her lips, "Do you think I was stupid before, young master?"

It seems so, a bit.

Lin Chuan even felt like laughing.

Lü Ya, dissatisfied, "Then why do you still accept me, young master?"

I just like the foolish ones.

Lin Chuan teased.

Lü Ya giggled, thinking to herself, "I'm not stupid at all, but since you like it, I'll just accept it."

"By the way, Lü Ya, there's something I want to ask you," Lin Chuan said. "Don't you need to cultivate?"

This incarnation of Lü Ya is different from before.

He could feel Lü Ya constantly growing stronger; just standing there, even her breath seemed more potent, so strong it felt unfamiliar.

"Cultivation? I don't know how."

Lü Ya wore a clueless expression.

Lin Chuan fell silent.

But odd incidents happening to Lü Ya aren't just once or twice, and let's just accept it.

The Lü Ya of today provides him with tangible help; through the Sword of All Beings she continuously feeds back to him, allowing his Physical Body to progress toward the ultimate path.

This is an unexpected joy beyond his original plan.

It makes his journey smoother than anticipated.

In the time that followed, Lin Chuan kept refining the Dao of the Soul in the Myriad Symbol Pavilion, and the pavilion's business grew ever more booming.

Within the Sword of All Beings, a faint cycle that suppresses Black Mist has already formed, similar to a Great Array of Spirit Purification.

This also shows that the path he chose is entirely feasible.

Cloud Kingdom.

Grand General's Residence.

The former girl Yun Zhi Yi is now a peerless female general.

Knowing his daughter's cultivation path is the Dao of Qi Fortune, Yun Zhen Shan gave up the general position and agreed to cooperate with the Crown Princess.

Now the internal strife within the Cloud Kingdom's royal family intensifies.

The Crown Princess, dissatisfied with the current Cloud Emperor's actions, seeks to seize the imperial throne.

The Cloud Emperor naturally would not allow it.

The ancestors of the Cloud Kingdom also seem to have disputes over this; both sides have supporters, creating a stalemate that has persisted for years.

"Zhi Yi, have you lately heard any news about that youngster Lin Chuan?"

In the small courtyard, the father and daughter chatted casually.

No.

Yun Zhi Yi shook her head, "Lin Chuan went to the Purple Star Emperor Sect to cultivate; it must be hard for him. The situation here in Cloud Kingdom is unstable; how could I disturb him?"

Yun Zhen Shan was speechless for a moment.

That foolish daughter.

Lin Chuan cultivating at the Purple Star Emperor Sect? What a joke!

He had recently heard many rumors about that youngster, but couldn't tell which were true, and hadn't gone to verify them himself.

He knew that youngster wasn't an honest person.

If he went out, he'd definitely get entangled in frivolities.

"Lin Chuan hasn't come back to see you for so long; doesn't that bother you?" Yun Zhen Shan felt sorry for his own daughter.

Of course I miss him.

Yun Zhi Yi smiled, "But even if I miss him, I must restrain myself; I can't drag him into the current chaotic situation."

Yun Zhen Shan was almost furious, "But I heard he's been carefree abroad, even establishing his own faction."

Yun Zhi Yi paused.

Actually she had also heard bits of this, not knowing its truth.

She claimed she didn't care if it was false; after all, she's Lin Chuan's fiancée, naturally hoping her future husband would share everything with her,

rather than treat her as an outsider.

But she never said so, nor could she complain.

Many of A Chuan's affairs had already given his father some grievances; he couldn't add fuel to the fire, nor let his father have further objections toward A Chuan.

When A Chuan returns, the two will be frank with each other, and then they can speak freely.

Say whatever you want to say; she'll complain when she should, she'll ask when she should, but that's a matter between the two of them.

"Alas."

Yun Zhenshan was in a foul mood; his own daughter, why can't she be a bit more assertive?

Will she later be bullied to death by that boy?!

"Father, whatever you want to say, just say it; I'm listening."

Yun Zhi Yi smiled, then emphasized, "But you mustn't fabricate lies and slander A Chuan; otherwise your daughter will get angry."

"Fine, then spoil him."

Yun Zhenshan thumped his thigh, losing hope; his obedient daughter is destined to be bullied by that boy.

"Father has heard that Lin Chuan, after cultivating for a while in the Purple Star Emperor Sect, went to the chaotic land Jin Tian Zhou, where he founded a faction called Myriad Symbol Pavilion."

"It claims to be able to solve all worries."

"Recently Myriad Symbol Pavilion's reputation has become very prominent; many cultivators throughout the Cloud Kingdom have learned of it."

Yun Zhenshan said.

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Yun Zhi Yi said softly, full of yearning, "In Daoism each strives, across a thousand li we share the same wind; A Chuan is also devising plans for our beautiful future."

Yun Zhenshan: "……"

"No! This this this…"

What is in this daughter's head?

Beyond saving.

"The Myriad Symbol Pavilion's reputation is loud, but it's not a good reputation; Father has heard that living Tribe of the Spirits entering Myriad Symbol Pavilion to request its services must trade their souls."

Yun Zhenshan has lived upright and has fought many times for the living Tribe of the Spirits of heaven and earth.

He harbors a deep hatred for demonic and evil cultivators.

When he heard this, he was furious, but because he did not know the deeper reasons, he could not pursue the matter.

Yun Zhi Yi lightly furrowed her eyebrows, then quickly relaxed them and soothed:

"Father, whatever matters await A Chuan's return, ask him and you'll know; he certainly would not be the type to harm innocent living Tribe of the Spirits and bring disaster to heaven and earth."

"It can only be that way."

Yun Zhenshan sighed, no longer discussing Lin Chuan.

He then spoke again about the Princess.

"According to the recent information Father obtained, the Princess's conflict with the Cloud Emperor is likely entering its final stage."

"Although the earlier clashes seemed not intense, both sides have actually been gearing up; the final showdown will inevitably be bloody and increasingly ruthless."

"You must be extremely careful in your actions."

Yun Zhenshan warned.

His daughter is valued by the Princess, being cultivated as a future Prime Minister, and her talent has shown sufficient potential,

and has long been regarded by the Cloud Emperor's side as a thorn in the flesh.

If it reaches the final stage, the Cloud Emperor's side will surely send people to deal with his daughter; to what extent they will fight, he does not know.

He only resents that Lin Chuan was absent at the crucial moment, not being by his daughter's side.

If it weren't for his daughter's repeated 'warnings' to him, forbidding him from telling Lin Chuan for fear that Lin Chuan would worry, he would have gone to Jin Tian Zhou long ago to investigate the truth and bring that boy back.

"Alas."

Looking at Yun Zhi Yi, who wants to shoulder everything herself and not let her fiancé worry, Yun Zhenshan felt nothing but aching concern.

"Silly girl, I hope your sincere heart will not be betrayed."
