"That's good, you said it, don't regret it later, practicing cultivation every day, I'm almost suffocating from it." Ling Yun giggled, turned her head, and walked toward the direction of the sect.

After walking a stretch of road, she turned her head and saw no one behind her, so she giggled again and hurried off in the opposite direction.

Chen Yu walked alone through the mountain ravine; he and several other soldiers had split up into different routes, he himself taking one path alone, first dealing with the ambushers before speaking further.

As he walked forward, he saw a girl suddenly appear from somewhere.

"Where is she? Why haven't I seen anyone yet? Wasn't it said to be ten kilometers away? Almost there." This girl was Ling Yun, who looked ahead somewhat dazedly.

This girl had almost never left the sect before; even when she went out alone, someone always followed her, so she lacked worldly experience, yet she still wore a princess-like expression.

Upon seeing Chen Yu, her eyes lit up, she flashed into motion like a gust of wind and rushed to his front.

Chen Yu had actually noticed this girl long ago, and from her aura, he had already deduced she was from Qingguan Temple, but he thought this little girl posed no threat, so he ignored her.

But he hadn't expected this girl to suddenly appear right before his eyes.

"Who are you?" Chen Yu feigned a startled expression, staring in surprise at the girl before him.

"I am Ling Yun, are you the person I'm looking for?" Ling Yun stared at Chen Yu.

"Who are you looking for?" Chen Yu felt utterly bewildered.

"Well..." Ling Yun stared at Chen Yu for a while, then shook her head: "Looking at you, your aura is completely absent—definitely not the person I'm seeking."

"No, who are you looking for?" Chen Yu felt both amused and exasperated, coming at him with such nonsense, saying things that left him equally confused—was this woman brainless or just missing a screw?

"I'm looking for Chen Yu, a Dharma Cultivator, and I don't think you look like one." Ling Yun snorted.

"I am Chen Yu." Chen Yu stared at her.

"You? Chen Yu?" Ling Yun gasped, eyeing Chen Yu warily, studying him for a long time before coldly chuckling: "Heh, I see you're just an ordinary person—how could you possibly be Chen Yu?"

"I am an ordinary person." Chen Yu smiled: "But I really am named Chen Yu—I don't know if you're looking for the same person."

"Definitely not the same person—you have not a trace of Primordial Qi fluctuation." Ling Yun shook her head, then curiously looked at Chen Yu: "Are you here to travel?"

"I suppose so." Chen Yu thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Heh, I knew it." Ling Yun coldly snorted, then said somewhat boredly: "Looks like the intel was wrong—I originally planned to bring Chen Yu back to my master's gate."

"Master's gate?" Chen Yu gave her a puzzled look.

"Well... never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told you—ordinary people like you are ants, living only for money and fame; we're not even from the same world." Ling Yun waved her hand, then curiously looked at Chen Yu: "How did you get here?"

"Just like this, I walked over." Chen Yu said.

"That's strange—this mountain area spans fifty kilometers in radius, with no barrier set up, so ordinary people simply couldn't walk in." Ling Yun chuckled: "Your luck is pretty good, huh."

"Yeah, my luck has always been pretty good." Chen Yu didn't deny it, smiling and nodding.

"Well, since your luck isn't bad, that means you have an opportunity—where are you headed now?" Ling Yun asked: "Aimless wandering?"

"Yes, aimless wandering." Chen Yu nodded, thinking this girl was rather full of herself, heh, since that's the case, I'll just go along with her.

"You're someone with opportunity—do you know what opportunity means?" Ling Yun turned her head to look at Chen Yu.

"I don't." Chen Yu shook his head.

"It's obvious you don't." Ling Yun coldly snorted: "Let me introduce myself—I'm Ling Yun, a Dharma Cultivator, which you can understand as Immortal Cultivation."

"Immortal Cultivation?" Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh—people in the Dharma Cultivation World rarely call themselves that, but in fact, it's just Immortal Cultivation.

However, Immortal is the ultimate goal of Dharma Cultivators, and calling oneself an Immortal Cultivator is disrespectful to the Immortal Dao, so generally no one refers to themselves that way.

This girl probably hasn't even crossed the threshold yet, relying on Spirit Pills and Wonderful Medicine bestowed by her masters to gather a bit of Spiritual Energy, having learned little true skill, but she's picked up plenty of the Dharma Cultivators' arrogant, nose-in-the-air attitude, treating all beings as ants.

"Right, so you understand now? I'm that kind of person—within this fifty-li radius, everything is protected by the barriers of our Qingguan Temple; ordinary people simply can't enter."

Ling Yun looked down on Chen Yu: "But since you've come in, that proves you have Immortal Fate."

"Oh, you say that, and I understand—opportunity." Chen Yu gave a slight nod.

"You're traveling—have you seen many famous rivers and mountains?" Ling Yun asked: "Today I'll take you to our Qingguan Temple to show you what a sacred Immortal site looks like."

"Sacred Immortal site?" Chen Yu smiled—she really thinks I'm some clueless ordinary person with no experience at all?

Qingguan Temple, leaning against big trees to enjoy the cool shade, has been prominent these past years, but what kind of people have they produced?

"My father is Qingguan Temple's important Elder Qingchen—oh, he's right up ahead, waiting for the person named Chen Yu." Ling Yun said.

"Where are they waiting for me?" Chen Yu looked gloomily at Ling Yun, his gaze as if looking at a fool.

This woman is practically brain-dead—she just handed over her own father and the sect elders like that.

"It's not waiting for you—it's waiting for someone with the same name as you, also called Chen Yu; they're in the forest ten li outside, where the forest has been laid with a Heavenly Net and a Great Array, just waiting for Chen Yu to arrive." Ling Yun said.

"Oh, such a grand array?" Chen Yu continued to play along—dealing with such a brainless person, not toying with her would be an insult to her intelligence.

"Yeah, heh, this Chen Yu is said to be a Dharma Cultivator too, but he's a Loose Cultivator, not from any proper sect—hmph, who knows what's scary about him." Ling Yun coldly snorted: "A Loose Cultivator like him—worth all this mobilization?"

"Maybe you should change your approach—since your sect's elders are being so cautious, the other side's background must not be simple." Chen Yu said: "Could it be they haven't met someone as smart as you?"

"My father said I'm the smartest person in Qingguan Temple, without equal." Ling Yun said proudly.

Chen Yu truly didn't know what to say—well, as long as she's happy, that's fine.

"What, you don't believe me?" Ling Yun glared at Chen Yu.
