Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 708: Chapter 305: Heart-to-Heart Between Master and Disciple

He raised his head and looked directly at Hua Yaoyue.

"You..."

Hua Yaoyue looked at him in this manner, was about to speak, but Ji Yuan interrupted directly:

"Master, let me speak first, I know you are leaving as well, but I also know that there are things that if not said or asked now, later... I’m afraid there will be no chance to ask."

Hua Yaoyue looked at his serious demeanor, then raised her hand, and instantly, a restriction was erected by her, covering the entire Wan You Island.

"Alright, ask."

Ji Yuan nodded, remained silent for a long moment, and then finally spoke: "Disciple knows that master’s origins are very high, probably as high as the sky in our Human Realm."

"Disciple also knows master harbors many secrets, yet never mentions them to us."

"Disciple further knows master has high expectations of me... but has master ever considered, the Human Realm is vast, sometimes two people are in the same small town, yet it is difficult to meet in a lifetime."

"Let alone on different continents."

Hua Yaoyue looked at the serious demeanor of her closed-door disciple and after a long silence, she said:

"So you want to know my secrets?"

"Heh."

Though Ji Yuan spoke sincerely, Hua Yaoyue was not moved by his emotions, but instead said directly:

"Even if you know now, what of it? Just listen to it as a story."

She shook her head, seeming to carry a trace of disappointment in her eyes.

"If you truly reach that realm one day, you can come to the Qiankun Continent to find me."

"Of course, not coming is also fine."

...Qiankun Continent, Ji Yuan etched this place in his heart.

"Dare I ask, what realm is master referring to, and since Qiankun Continent is also vast, where should I go to find master if I arrive?"

"If you just want to meet me, the Body Integration Realm should suffice, but if you want to lend me a hand... at the very least, you should have the courage to face Tribulation Cultivators."

Hua Yaoyue remained silent for a long time before giving this answer.

Ji Yuan felt his heart sink upon hearing it.

Tribulation Cultivators... they stand at the pinnacle of the Human Realm, don’t they?

Master’s origins are indeed grand.

But upon reflection, if master’s origins weren’t grand, how could she know so many secrets?

Integration, Tribulation... I don’t know if by relying on my own efforts, along with some help from the panel, I can reach such a realm?

Ji Yuan was contemplating this matter in his heart.

Hua Yaoyue continued: "As for seeing me... when you come to the Qiankun Continent, if I’m still alive, you just need to inquire slightly to know where I am."

"But if you come to the Qiankun Continent and don’t hear my name, it means I have already died."

"In that case, there’s nothing more to say."

"No, master you..."

Ji Yuan took a step forward.

But before he could finish speaking, Hua Yaoyue sneered and interrupted him.

"You want to say, how could I possibly die?"

"Why wouldn’t I? The Human Realm has countless cultivators, those with no enemies face an easy demise, let alone someone like me, notorious as an inauspicious figure with enemies all over."

The more Hua Yaoyue spoke, the more severe the mockery in her eyes became.

"By then, it will be normal not to hear my name.

If you come to Qiankun Continent and I’m still alive, that would be strange."

Silence increased with each question.

That’s how Ji Yuan felt now.

True, what Hua Yaoyue said was very reasonable and honest.

But honest words like these, when applied to others, Ji Yuan can accept, but when applied to those close to you, it’s hard to accept.

So, it’s unavoidable to have double standards as a human.

Unless one is a sage... Ji Yuan knew he was no sage, so he asked:

"Has master ever considered taking disciple along?"

"Take you with me?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Yaoyue’s mocking gaze vanished instantly, and she couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

"What would I do with you, aren’t my enemies enough without having more baggage?"

"Disciple I..."

"Alright, I know you’re worried about me, but don’t worry, everyone has tasks to do, and everyone has paths to walk."

Hua Yaoyue gradually put away her smile.

"Your concern is commendable, after all, in these millions of years, everyone only wished to avoid me, but to say they wanted to go with me... you are the first."

Hua Yaoyue said this and turned to glance at Ji Yuan, with a gaze... somewhat complicated.

"Only your cultivation is too low, following me would only lead to a quick death, perhaps even dragging me down with you."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan calmed down a lot, once again bowed to Hua Yaoyue.

"It’s disciple’s impatience."

"I ask for master’s forgiveness."

"There’s no need for forgiveness." Hua Yaoyue waved, "If you truly have this mind, grow quickly, then I will try to stay alive, and by that time, you and I as master and disciple can venture across Qiankun Continent together."

Hua Yaoyue’s words were relaxed, as if she had already seen that day, so her eyes were filled with a smile.

Ji Yuan wanted to smile too.

But he couldn’t bring himself to smile.

He could hear from Hua Yaoyue’s words that his master didn’t have an easy journey...

On the contrary, she suffered a lot.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have made remarks about enemies all over the world.

So he looked at his master in front of him, pondered for a long time, and chose to abandon his preconception of "fate", instead asking softly:

"In the future, if disciple truly reaches Qiankun Continent but doesn’t hear master’s name, who should disciple seek?"

Upon hearing this question, Hua Yaoyue’s smile gradually disappeared.

Indeed, Ji Yuan’s words were quite blunt.

What he meant is, if master has died by then, who should I seek for revenge?

True, these words are ominous.

But they are also realistic, just like Hua Yaoyue said... In this world, no one is immune to death.

So after a long, long silence, she finally gave Ji Yuan two names.

She trusted her judgment.

And she trusted Ji Yuan.
