Chapter 490: Linglong's Opportunity

Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

On a Transmission Array, a flash of Spirit Light appeared.

Three figures, two men and one woman, emerged.

Seeing these three figures.

The Instructor responsible for managing the Transmission Array cast their gaze directly onto Linglong and smiled, "Linglong, welcome back to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace."

Upon hearing this, Linglong smiled and nodded at the Instructor, "Linglong greets the Instructor."

The Instructor beside the Transmission Array nodded with a smile, took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, and sent out a message.

Seeing this, Linglong's expression shifted, "Instructor, what are you doing?"

The Instructor explained, "The Palace Master gave orders long ago that as soon as you returned, I was to report it immediately."

The Instructor's voice had just fallen.

The space nearby suddenly rippled like water waves.

The next moment.

Three figures stepped out from the void.

The arrivals were one man and two women.

They were an old man, an old woman, and a beautiful woman, respectively.

They were the three Palace Masters of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

"Greetings to the three Palace Masters."

Seeing the three appear, the Instructor maintaining the Transmission Array cupped their hands.

Linglong, Wang Jianqiang, and Xiao Ke Ke also bowed in greeting.

The three Palace Masters nodded.

Their gazes paused on Wang Jianqiang first.

Then, they shifted away nonchalantly and landed on Linglong.

The old man standing in the center of the three, Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Master Mo Ling, looked at Linglong, "Linglong, for these past three hundred years, Wenxian City has relied on your protection."

"Otherwise, those Out-of-Boundary Cultivators would likely have already occupied the Space Channel and used it to invade our world."

"Palace Master, you are too kind; Linglong is a part of this world and has the duty and responsibility to protect it," Linglong said.

Mo Ling nodded, "That may be so, but these three hundred-plus years of guarding have wasted your talent."

Having said this, he paused, a kind smile appearing on his face, "However, rest assured, I and the two Vice Palace Masters have already made a decision to open the Great Wilderness Heavenly Pool for you."

"We will spare no cost to compensate for your losses over these past three hundred-plus years!"

Hearing Mo Ling's words, Linglong's face lit up with joy, and she bowed to the three Palace Masters once more, "Thank you, three Palace Masters."

Mo Ling smiled and nodded, "Then let us head to the Great Wilderness Heavenly Pool now."

Upon hearing this, Linglong looked at Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Senior sister, cultivation is the priority."

Linglong nodded, then looked at Mo Ling, "Palace Master, let us go."

Mo Ling glanced at Wang Jianqiang and Linglong with surprise, smiled, and waved his hand.

He and Linglong disappeared simultaneously.

After Mo Ling left with Linglong, the old woman's figure flashed, and she vanished in an instant.

The beautiful Vice Palace Master Nian Qinghe looked at Wang Jianqiang, a faint smile appearing on her face, and she nodded gently at Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang was stunned.

Why did it feel like this Vice Palace Master was treating him a bit differently?

Just as he was muttering to himself, Nian Qinghe's figure flashed and she disappeared without a trace.

Wang Jianqiang immediately snapped back to his senses.

He shook his head.

After bidding farewell to the Instructor managing the Transmission Array, he took Xiao Ke Ke and walked toward the interior of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

After walking for some distance.

Wang Jianqiang's footsteps paused, and Xiao Ke Ke behind him stopped as well.

Wang Jianqiang turned to look at Xiao Ke Ke, pondered for a moment, and said, "Now that we have returned to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, you only need to call me by my name; there is no need to call me Master."

"You also don't need to live with me every day; just go back to your own living quarters."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Xiao Ke Ke's face turned pale, and she said tearfully, "Master, did I make you angry somewhere?"

Wang Jianqiang was taken aback, "No? Why would you think that?"

Xiao Ke Ke's eyes turned red, "Then why does Master dislike me?"
