Chapter 987: Subduing the Ancestral Ghost

The Ancestral Ghost shrank her head in fear. Although somewhat reluctant, she knew that if she wanted to keep her freedom, she had to behave herself; it was a pity that her power of darkness had no place to be used.

"Alright, Brother Chen. We are almost at Shengjing now. You go attend to your business; she and I can just head back together," Yu Sichen said.

"I had better see you back," Chen Yu said.

"No, the more you see me off, the more reluctant I will be to part with you." Yu Sichen smiled bitterly. She hugged Chen Yu, then took the Ancestral Ghost and hurried off in the direction of Jizhao Temple.

Watching her retreating figure, Chen Yu remained silent for a long time. Truthfully, he was a bit reluctant, but there was no help for it; he still had more things to do.

At night, in a villa in Shengjing City, Chen Yu met Chixiao.

"You have already advanced to the Human Dao?" Chixiao was very shocked as she looked at the aura on Chen Yu.

"There was a situation earlier, and I advanced by accident," Chen Yu said. "I have already found the Snow Region Immortal Lotus that can help you break through. Besides, I also encountered your sect members at the Snow Mountain."

"My sect members? People from the Red Moon Palace? Where are they now?" Chixiao's expression was agitated.

"They said for you to go south to find them, but they didn't say exactly where," Chen Yu said.

"Our sect has a way to make contact. As long as the sect is not destroyed, I have a way to find them." Chixiao's expression was agitated, and she murmured, "How many years has it been? I have finally found them."

"Ever since you went missing back then, the Red Moon Palace declined because there was no longer a genius as stunning and talented as you in the sect to support it. To avoid enemies, the sect moved south," Chen Yu said. "You can just go to the Southern Border to look for them."

"So that's how it was." Chixiao's expression was forlorn. "If not for that accident, perhaps the Red Moon Palace would have developed very well by now. It is fortunate that they still remember me, the Master of the Red Moon Palace."

As cold as Chixiao was, upon suddenly hearing news of her sect members, she could not help but shed tears in sorrow. Hundreds or even ten thousand years had passed, yet there was actually still someone in the Red Moon Palace who remembered her; this was perhaps the greatest stroke of fortune amidst misfortune.

Chen Yu took out the spirit pill refined from the Snow Region Immortal Lotus: "This is a Guyuan Pill, a Second Grade Spirit Pill. After you take it, you will be able to break through your current bottleneck. Your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds, and you will soon reach your prime."

"Thank you." Chixiao wiped away her tears, then took the spirit pill from Chen Yu's hand and carefully put it away. "I will leave now to see them. I cannot wait even a moment."

"This bustling world, in the end, could not keep you?" Chen Yu looked at her, his expression somewhat complex.

The body Chixiao was currently using was that of Meng Huiyu, the wife of Wu Zhangbo. He had guarded his beloved wife for three years and had finally managed to wait until she woke up. These past few days, he had tried every possible way to keep her, but in the end, she still chose to leave.

"The bustling world is indeed good, but it is a pity that what I pursue is not here. You are used to living in this world, so even if you can cultivate, your heart is not on the path of cultivation. But after you reach a certain realm, your Dao Heart will change."

Chixiao looked at Chen Yu and said, "So one day, your state of mind will be the same as mine; you will have higher-level pursuits and reach higher realms."

"Perhaps so, but I cannot leave this world for the time being," Chen Yu nodded slightly, then he said, "Are you not going to say goodbye to Wu Zhangbo?"

"I have already hinted it to him; he should know I am leaving." Mentioning Wu Zhangbo, Chixiao was silent for a moment. After a long while, she said, "If there is a chance, please tell him for me that he is the only person I feel attached to in this world."

"Alright, if there is a chance, I will tell him," Chen Yu nodded.

Chixiao slowly stood up. With one step, she had already vanished several yards away. After a few leaps, she completely disappeared from Chen Yu's sight.

Watching the direction in which Chixiao left, Chen Yu sighed slightly. He felt a bit emotional; the world of Dharma Cultivators and that of ordinary people were two completely different worlds. Even if they could barely be together, the final result was still unsatisfactory.

"Chen Yu, you finally returned." Just at this moment, Ye Qinglong's voice rang out from behind: "Tell me, you went out for so long, were you avoiding my sister?"

"That is not it." Chen Yu felt a headache coming on when he saw Ye Qinglong. "I already told your sister the reason; she knows what I went to do."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Ye Qinglong glared at Chen Yu.

"Why should I tell you?" Chen Yu looked at Ye Qinglong as if looking at a moron. "Your sister and I aren't even engaged yet; you don't even count as a brother-in-law yet. Besides, even if we were married, you would only be her younger brother. I don't have to tell you everything, do I?"

"You..." Ye Qinglong was left speechless by this remark from Chen Yu. After a long while, he rolled his eyes helplessly: "Fine, okay, you're right. Come with me."

"Where to?" Chen Yu looked at this guy in surprise.

"You are a celebrity in the circle now; of course, we are going to a place that matches your status," Ye Qinglong said speechlessly. "You are, at any rate, the future heir to the Chen Group and the He Clan. You have to get a familiar face in the Shengjing circle sooner or later."

"The circle you speak of has no meaning to me," Chen Yu shook his head. He understood what Chixiao had just said; indeed, the pursuits of a Dharma Cultivator and an ordinary person were fundamentally different.

"It has no meaning to you, but it has meaning to us. Chen Yu, you are the future heir to the He Family and the Chen Family, and you are a very busy person. You surely won't have time to attend to everything, so won't my sister be the one suffering then?" Ye Qinglong glanced at Chen Yu and said, "Some circles, you still have to mingle in."

"Now that you have a reputation, many people have heard of you, but few have seen you. Even if you just go to hold down the fort and show off a bit, my sister's pressure will be much less in the future. Don't you understand this?"

Chen Yu was stunned. Honestly, what Ye Qinglong said did make sense. This was something he had never considered before. Although this kid Ye Qinglong looked like a wastrel on the surface, he was from a major family after all, and his words were reasonable and well-founded.

"So, are you going, or are you not?" Ye Qinglong asked.

"What you said is also right. Alright then, I will go with you to take a look." Chen Yu pondered for a moment and felt it was correct. He should still go with Ye Qinglong to take a look. He belonged to the type that had just emerged, and since he had snatched away Ye Qingning, the eldest daughter of the Ye Family whom everyone secretly admired, there were bound to be many who were unconvinced.

However, going tonight would inevitably lead to a storm of blood and wind; it just depended on which fool was unafraid of death and would run into Chen Yu's bad luck.

Chen Yu followed Ye Qinglong and arrived at a private club.
