the girl was indeed smart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could see that Yin Baishuang was far more formidable than him, naturally she would choose her as her master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then jokingly said, “Miss Yin lacks a drinking companion by her side, why not take her in, it would make finding a drinking partner much easier in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl instantly looked at Baili An with gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Baishuang said, “A disciple is a disciple, a drinking companion can only be a friend, she doesn’t qualify yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her dignified demeanor made her not repulsive but rather seemed naturally so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl’s expression dimmed, her eyes hollow as she gazed at her family’s thatched cottage, her heart filled with heavy sorrow and confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve been accustomed to being alone for centuries, I’m not used to suddenly having someone by my side, you don’t need to look at me like that, I’m neither a god nor the Immortal in your words, I’m under no obligation to be responsible for every unfortunate soul.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Baishuang’s voice was ruthless, but she still took a piece of palace jade from her chest, handed it to the girl and lightly said, “Since the path is your own choice, you shouldn’t pin your hopes on others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can help you for a moment, not for a lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you insist on seeking vengeance, I won’t stop you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take this palace jade, head to the great nation of David in the south.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the nation lies a mountain named Cangwu; next spring, it will widely accept disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seek a man named Cheng Pan there, you may take him as your master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether you could pass his trials and become a disciple of the Immortal Sect, that will be your own affair.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A light appears in the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl reverently received the palace jade, although she was unaware of who Cheng Pan was,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David was one of the thriving and powerful nations among countries; even as a hunter’s daughter, she knew this well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name Cangwu was extremely shocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If talking about why David was so prosperous, the world might only answer with the word ‘Cangwu’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a powerful cultivation sect was like a legendary story not easily accessible to her in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands shook slightly while holding the palace jade, immediately realizing the lady in front of her likely had a more formidable background than she imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, thank you for guiding me, Immortal.” The girl bowed three times, watching the disappearing backs of Baili An and Yin Baishuang, her eyes filled with complex confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s experiences felt like a dream filled with numerous variables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the desolate mountain path, Baili An followed the slender, stunning figure in red ahead, with a lively little deer trotting behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had once heard the three words “Cangwu Palace” from Jin Sheng’s mouth, though he wasn’t completely aware of how powerful this sect was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But being able to stand as the national sect of a major country, just that was enough to dominate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly asked, “Miss, are you from Cangwu Palace as well?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Baishuang didn’t turn around, her voice floating from ahead, “I was, but not anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to bearing the myriad responsibilities of the sect, she preferred wandering alone, fulfilling that uncompleted promise from the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An further inquired, “That Cheng Pan, must be a very important figure, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint laugh came from the front, in this moment not seeing her face, it was unclear whether she was genuinely amused or maintaining her usual somber sarcasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re quite interested in that girl, huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An chuckled, “I’m just asking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lost his memories from his past life, making the world now extremely foreign to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he was quite curious about these formidable figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he knew, the closer he felt to this unfamiliar world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing much,” Her tone was light and dismissive, even slightly contemptuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cheng Pan is just a chess player who likes to play but has a terrible chess temperament.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An chuckled, “A chess player?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Baishuang suddenly stopped, turning to face Baili An, her side profile as radiant as high-quality ivory jade under the moonlight reflecting a delicate, yet utterly beautiful glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, you’re right, having someone around to drink with feels very pleasant, and the real reason I didn’t take her as a disciple, do you know why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the girl under the moonlight, Baili An stopped as well and replied earnestly, “Because she gave the wrong answer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Baishuang was momentarily stunned, apparently not expecting a transient corpse demon to see through her heart in that instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her slender fingertips subconsciously caressed the Black Jade at her waist, she said lightly, “Back then, I mentioned, the disciples of the Demon Sect are countless; she couldn’t possibly know who her father’s murderer was, she became confused.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1232,"2026-06-06T15:16:24.199Z",1,"novelbin.me","d26b5bdb0276ea91165aafdddf42f18d5241ed90d9fbf6a5b1b88ef3cea4f098","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-28","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-26",1594,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjourney-to-the-end-of-the-night-cover.jpg"]
