Chapter 675

Jiang Yan hugged the two tightly and said softly:

"You are the people I trust the most."

"The current Shushan has revived, but it is still far from the prosperous appearance of the past."

"This process cannot be achieved by me alone."

"The position of Shushan Sect Leader is passed down in a single line; currently, only Miss Keli can be the candidate for the next Sect Leader."

"But she is still too young; I hope you can help her shoulder some responsibilities while she is still growing."

"After she is capable of standing on her own, hand Shushan over to her..."

413. Miss Keli: Miss Keli also wants to take an apprentice and ascend with Master!

"Master!"

Hearing Jiang Yan say this, Miss Keli panicked and grabbed Jiang Yan anxiously, fearing that he would disappear directly in a moment.

"Is Master going to leave Miss Keli? Did Miss Keli make Master angry? Please don't go, Master..."

"Miss Keli... Miss Keli will be obedient! Miss Keli doesn't want Master to go!"

Jiang Yan rubbed Miss Keli's head and said gently:

"Master is not angry; Miss Keli is so well-behaved, how could I be angry with Miss Keli?"

"Then... then is Master not going?"

Miss Keli looked at Jiang Yan eagerly, and the latter said slowly:

"Miss Keli, do you remember what Master said about the realm after Refining Void into Dao?"

"I remember! It's Earth Immortal!"

Miss Keli replied seriously, and Jiang Yan smiled.

"After Master undergoes the tribulation this time, with the ancestor's gift, Master can directly reach the late stage of Refining Void into Dao."

"There is not much time left before I have to undergo the tribulation and ascend."

"So... Master doesn't want to leave Miss Keli either, but this is something that can't be helped."

Miss Keli sniffed, lowered her head, and said nothing.

Jiang Yan sighed and said softly:

"Before Master leaves, I will handle all the troubles for Miss Keli, the Evil Sword Immortal, other worlds..."

"I guarantee that the Shushan I hand over to Miss Keli will be the most prosperous and safest Shushan."

"Master will also let your Miss Ganyu sister and Miss Shenzi sister stay to take care of you."

"When you grow up to be quite excellent, Miss Keli will be the legitimate Shushan Sect Leader who shakes the heavens."

Miss Keli raised her head, her big eyes red, which made Jiang Yan's heart ache.

"Miss Keli doesn't want Shushan, and doesn't want the position of Sect Leader! Miss Keli only wants Master!"

"... Miss Keli."

Jiang Yan sighed with complicated feelings, and then said:

"But undergoing the tribulation and ascending is the dream every immortal cultivator longs for, and it is also a path Master must experience."

"If I could, Master wouldn't want to leave Miss Keli either, but..."

"Just like when Master rebuilt Shushan in Teyvat, after Master undergoes the tribulation and ascends, I will rebuild Shushan in the upper realm."

"In this way, when Miss Keli ascends in the future, you can live happily in Shushan again."

Miss Keli turned her head away, pouting stubbornly, but tears dripped onto Jiang Yan.

"Miss Keli will promise Master that after Master leaves, she will become an excellent Shushan Sect Leader, right?"

Jiang Yan pinched Miss Keli's nose, and Miss Keli nodded weakly.

"Miss Ganyu, Miss Shenzi, Head Seat Zhongli, Head Seat Venti... Miss Keli's mother, everyone will help Miss Keli become an excellent Shushan Sect Leader."

"Inheriting Master's will and carrying forward Shushan."

"Miss Keli, don't worry, you will not be lonely."

Miss Shenzi felt a pang in her heart and looked at Jiang Yan with heartache.

Miss Keli will not be lonely; she has a Master who loves her, a mother who loves her, and many, many elders who love and spoil her.

These people will help Miss Keli grow and make her path smoother.

This is the gift Jiang Yan left for Miss Keli.

But what about Jiang Yan himself?

Once upon a time, he might have also been a genius who was the center of attention and loved by all, the most perfect next Sect Leader in the hearts of all Shushan disciples and predecessors.

But the glory of the past is gone.

The vast Shushan is left with only Jiang Yan starting from scratch, relying on the gifts left by his ancestors from time to time, and building Shushan with all his might.

When rebuilding Shushan in Teyvat, he was alone.

At that time, Jiang Yan was very strong and fearless.

But what about later? Will his strength in the Immortal World still be as world-dominating as in Teyvat?

Having finally made so many acquaintances in Teyvat, Jiang Yan is leaving again to rebuild Shushan in the dangerous Immortal World.

Only then did Miss Shenzi and Miss Ganyu suddenly realize.

Jiang Yan seems to have always been very lonely.

Admittedly, he now has many disciples, Miss Keli as his own disciple, and the two of them as his partners.

But no one has ever been able to help him with what Jiang Yan wants to do and needs to do.

It seems that everyone is standing on the front line of reviving Shushan, but in fact, they are all just following the path Jiang Yan has paved, step by step.

No one has ever been able to stand by his side and pull him up.

Shouldering the heavy responsibility of reviving Shushan, he dared not stop for a moment, and he had to pull everyone forward together.

They seemed to have never paid attention to all this before.

Involuntarily, Miss Shenzi and Miss Ganyu lowered their heads in disappointment.

Even if they realized this, so what?

They still couldn't do anything.

"Must Master ascend?"

"Must."

Jiang Yan answered Miss Keli decisively and added:

"At the very least, Master must become an immortal. The Shushan of the past did not just dominate the lower realm, but was also famous in the Immortal World."

"The current Shushan is not even one-billionth as glorious as the Shushan of the past."

"Becoming an immortal is the end point for every immortal cultivator. After a long time, Miss Keli will definitely become an immortal too."

"Master needs to go to the Immortal World in advance to create a safer environment for Miss Keli. When Miss Keli becomes an immortal, you can see Master in the Immortal World."

"Master believes that Miss Keli will have grown up by then and become an excellent Sect Leader. At that time, Miss Keli can slowly tell Master about your achievements."

"It doesn't matter how long you talk; at that time, we won't be separated anymore. We have long lives to slowly experience other things."

Miss Keli's big eyes were red, and after a long while, she muttered:

"... Then how long will it take for Miss Keli to become an immortal? To go find Master?"

"When Miss Keli grows up, takes her own apprentices like Master, and teaches her how to lead Shushan to become stronger."

"When Miss Keli breaks through Refining Void into Dao and undergoes the tribulation like Master, Master will wait for Miss Keli in the Immortal World."

Miss Keli remained silent, and after a long while, she stretched out her little finger.

"Pinky swear! Master must wait for Miss Keli..."

Jiang Yan smiled magnanimously and nodded:

"Master will definitely wait for Miss Keli."

After some comfort, Miss Keli jumped down with a "he-he" and ran back to Jiang Yan's cave to go into seclusion and practice.

She wants to become an immortal in the shortest possible time...

Looking at Miss Keli's back, Jiang Yan sighed.

"Jiang Yan, must you ascend? Shushan has just gotten on the right track, everyone still can't do without you, and besides..."

Miss Ganyu pursed her lips and said softly:

"We don't know how long it will take for us to become immortals and meet again."

Jiang Yan rubbed Miss Ganyu's horns and said softly:
