Chapter 560: I Think This Should Be the Best Answer (Please Subscribe!!)

On the other side, after Jiang Yan stepped out, he bought some gifts that the Great Sage of the Tree had once liked when visiting Liyue.

After confirming there was nothing left out, Jiang Yan raised his right hand, and the Space Gem lit up.

The teleportation portal instantly wrapped around his entire body.

Outside the Shangongde Sect, the teleportation portal suddenly opened.

Surrounding the Shangongde Sect, Sumeru soldiers guarding it stood with serious expressions, holding swords and blades.

Just at that moment, something that looked like an earpiece lit up beside the ears of these soldiers.

"Yes! My Lord Great Sage of the Tree!"

The Sumeru soldiers stood straight, speaking with serious expressions.

Afterwards, the Sumeru soldiers dispersed; the stationed soldiers outside the Shangongde Sect, under the Great Sage of the Tree's command, left the Shangongde Sect area.

When Jiang Yan appeared outside the teleportation portal, he happened to see the Sumeru soldiers withdrawing.

"Hmm? What's going on?"

Jiang Yan scratched his head in some confusion, but he didn't dwell on it too much, walking up to the door of the Shangongde Sect.

Before he could knock, a muffled voice was heard coming from inside the door.

"What are you doing here?"

"Uh, it's because of the Nahida incident, which messed up the World Tree space all over the place..."

Jiang Yan's tone carried an apology.

"This time, I came specifically to make amends and apologize."

"Oh? Making amends and apologizing?"

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, the Great Sage of the Tree's voice seemed to carry a trace of surprise.

"You, Jiang Yan, can still apologize to others?"

Jiang Yan immediately had a face full of black lines.

No.

Since when did I become such a person in your eyes?

I usually admit my mistakes when I have them, you know?

Making it seem like I'm so unreasonable.

"Heh, alright, come inside and talk first."

It seemed that after mocking Jiang Yan, the Great Sage of the Tree's mood became much more pleasant.

In the end, she let Jiang Yan enter the Shangongde Sect.

A joy rose in Jiang Yan's heart.

As long as he entered inside the Shangongde Sect, it proved that half of the Great Sage of the Tree's anger had subsided.

The door of the Shangongde Sect in front slowly opened, and Jiang Yan walked inside.

Inside the Shangongde Sect, as soon as Jiang Yan entered, he saw the Great Sage of the Tree sitting on a chair in the very center, with a screen floating before her eyes, seemingly busy with something.

"What are you busy with?"

Jiang Yan walked forward curiously, coming before the Great Sage of the Tree.

But what Jiang Yan didn't expect was that after Jiang Yan approached, the Great Sage of the Tree, as if afraid Jiang Yan would discover it, turned off the screen before her.

Jiang Yan: "......"

"What are you looking at!"

The Great Sage of the Tree rolled her eyes at Jiang Yan and let out a light huff.

Well, it seems she still hasn't calmed down!

Jiang Yan smiled awkwardly, hurried forward, came behind the Great Sage of the Tree, and gently rubbed her shoulders.

"Oh dear, oh dear, isn't it because I was worried you'd get tired, so I came specifically to show concern for you."

"Hmph, don't bother, I'm not falling for that!"

The Great Sage of the Tree let out a cold snort, but from her slightly upturned corners of the mouth, it seemed she really did quite like that.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Jiang Yan chuckled with a "hehe."

"Hmph, next time if you act recklessly in the World Tree space again, I will really get angry!"

As the saying goes, one never strikes a smiling face; with Jiang Yan's smug, grinning, shameless look, the Great Sage of the Tree really found it hard to get angry at him.

"It won't happen, it won't happen, I promise! There won't be a next time."

To ensure the authority of his oath, Jiang Yan even raised his finger pointing to the sky, looking very serious.

"I hope your promise is valid for the long term."

With this promise from Jiang Yan, the Great Sage of the Tree finally did not pursue this matter further.

"Not angry anymore?"

Jiang Yan bent down, looking at the Great Sage of the Tree's exquisite and beautiful face.

"Oh, go away, go away, I'm not angry at you anymore."

At this moment, the Great Sage of the Tree was like a young girl who had just quarreled with her boyfriend; she pushed Jiang Yan away, stood up, and walked over to a table on the side.

"What is Nahida like?"

The Great Sage of the Tree was angry, but she was still quite concerned about that little girl who had taken human form.

For some reason, the moment the Great Sage of the Tree saw the other party, she always had a certain vague feeling.

This feeling was indescribable and unfathomable.

The Great Sage of the Tree believed the cause of this might be that the little girl named Nahida was formed from the condensed branches of the World Tree.

As the administrator of the World Tree, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata originally shared an inherent connection with the World Tree.

That is likely the reason.

"She has successfully taken human form, but because of a conflict between the World Tree and the energy I left within her body."

"She is a bit exhausted from just taking form; she opened her eyes for only a moment before falling back asleep."

Hearing Greater Lord Rukkhadevata ask about Nahida, Jiang Yan recounted Nahida's current situation to her.

"That is fine; it is not a major problem. She just needs to rest for a while."

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata nodded, and then the atmosphere between the two suddenly became awkward right there.

"Jiang Yan."

No one knew how long this atmosphere had lasted when Greater Lord Rukkhadevata suddenly spoke.

Her beautiful eyes turned toward Jiang Yan, carrying an expression of seriousness and scrutiny.

"You... really with Raiden Makoto and the others..."

"Eh?"

Hearing Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's vague words, Jiang Yan was stunned.

But then, he understood the meaning behind Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's words.

Under her gaze, Jiang Yan slowly nodded.

"Yes, they have been running toward me for over five hundred years."

"If I did not even have the courage to approach them, why would I be worthy of them treating me so?"

Recalling Raiden Makoto and the other two, a hint of tenderness flashed in Jiang Yan's eyes.

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's expression was complex.

"If... I also..."

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata murmured, but the final words never left her lips.

"Hmm? What did you just say?"
