35: Luo Jinghong's unusual behavior leads to her triumphant return to her family!

"Alright, You Rong, stop looking."

"Yeah, Senior Brother Gu has been gone for so long, yet you're still staring blankly at where they disappeared."

"You've made such a huge contribution this time, You Rong. You'll definitely get a lot of Pavilion contribution points. When the time comes, you can exchange them for a one-on-one lecture from Senior Brother Gu, and then you can see him as much as you want."

"At that time, not only can you look at him, but maybe you can even do many other things!"

"Lin Ruoyu, confess! What else do you want to do?"

"Hehe!"

"..."

On the house-ship.

After a false alarm, the girls recovered and returned to their usual selves, teasing each other. Only Jiang Yourong was still staring blankly at the Void Realm where Gu Qingchen and the others had disappeared.

After being teased, she snapped out of it, waved her hand, and smiled, "Not at all, this was everyone's collective effort."

"Don't be modest, You Rong."

Zhao Linger sighed with emotion, "For the gains from this Underground Cave Trial, you deserve at least ninety percent of the credit."

With Jiang Yourong, they didn't need to search blindly for opportunities at all; they just needed to be a heartless treasure-collecting machine.

This efficiency had increased by more than a hundred times!

The ability to foresee opportunities in advance and then simply sweep them up was truly too Heaven-Defying. It was no wonder the Young Master valued her so much.

Although Jiang Yourong attributed everything to the treasure basin, others might not know the truth, but how could she not?

She had already been silently observing Jiang Yourong for a long time under the Young Master's instructions, so she naturally knew this was her own ability.

The treasure basin only served the role of quickly gathering and sweeping up treasures.

"Sister Linger, you're exaggerating."

Jiang Yourong hugged Zhao Linger's arm and acted spoiled, "By the way, Sister Linger, I want to know, once someone reaches the Saint King Realm, can their strength still increase rapidly?"

"How could that be possible!"

Zhao Linger patted Jiang Yourong's head, amused, "You're really being whimsical. Most cultivators can't even break through to the Saint Realm in their entire lives, let alone the Saint King Realm."

"And even if one lacks neither talent nor Opportunity and Cultivates all the way to the Saint King Realm, the difficulty of further improvement is extremely high. One might not even make any progress after hundreds of years of bitter Cultivation."

"Is that so?"

Jiang Yourong held her head, her eyes filled with doubt, "Then what if a Saint King Realm expert broke through two or three minor stages in a very short period? What would that situation be?"

"Either they've fallen into the Demonic Path, or they've practiced a forbidden technique and paid a huge price."

Zhao Linger asked curiously, "You Rong, why are you asking this?"

"Nothing."

Jiang Yourong shook her head, a flicker of deep thought crossing her crystalline eyes.

"Then... what's the situation with Elder Luo?"

"Has she fallen into the Demonic Path? Or did she practice some forbidden technique?"

She still remembered when she first met Elder Luo Jinghong, her cultivation was only at the Saint King Fourth Level.

Now, after only a short month, her cultivation had already skyrocketed to the Saint King Sixth Level!

This situation, no matter how one thought about it, wasn't normal.

"Oh no, she's taking the Young Master away right now. Could she have some bad intentions!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yourong became worried.

Unfortunately, her System could only see other people's recent Opportunities, not the dangers they might encounter.

"The Young Master has a seven-gold aura. Even if he encounters danger, he should be able to find a way out and turn misfortune into a blessing... Yes, he'll definitely be fine!"

Jiang Yourong's words carried little weight now, and she couldn't do anything, so she could only comfort herself like this... In the Void Realm, Luo Jinghong led Gu Qingchen and the other person as they shuttled rapidly, with colorful streams of light flashing past.

This brilliant scenery reminded Huang Liner of her childhood memories.

Back then, her father had also taken her through the endless Void Realm like this, eventually landing in that Cave World.

At that time, she was still young and didn't know her father was taking her on the run, nor did she think that the invincible Imperial Father in her eyes was actually on the verge of falling.

Seeing such brilliant beauty for the first time, she was still cheering, not knowing her life was about to undergo a massive turning point.

Feeling that Huang Liner's emotions were a bit off, Gu Qingchen patted her small head.

She looked up slightly and saw the gentle smile on Gu Qingchen's face. Her heart settled again, and she tightened her grip on Gu Qingchen's hands.

Luo Jinghong took all of this in, and a strange trace of envy actually surfaced in her heart.

Then,

She used the Taishang Path of Forgetting the Dao Canon to sever her stray thoughts.

"Qingchen, do you still remember the Star River Waterfall?"

Hearing Luo Jinghong's words, Gu Qingchen was stunned, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Why ask that... The Star River Waterfall was a Legacy treasure land of their Gu Family, where the power of ten thousand paths of the star river cascaded down, forming a very spectacular and beautiful sight.

It was truly a case of "the flying stream plunges down three hundred million miles, as if the Silver River had fallen from the Nine Heavens"!

The star river power within could also strengthen the Origin and temper the precious body; it was a treasure land for the clan's children to build a peerless foundation.

Thinking back to his childhood, he had grown up soaking in it every day. How could he not remember the Star River Waterfall?

Therefore, he nodded and said, "Of course I remember. I recall that Elder Luo also once went into secluded meditation in the Star River Waterfall for a period of time."

At that time, because Luo Jinghong needed to borrow the Star River Waterfall for meditation, the Gu Family even closed it for a while.

This had made Gu Qingchen, who already treated it like a bathhouse, somewhat dissatisfied. He had once sneaked in, and that was also the first time he and Luo Jinghong met.

To be honest, that was the first time he felt stunned to the point of dazedness after seeing someone.

He still remembered that under the boundless Star River Waterfall, Luo Jinghong sat cross-legged in the Void Realm.

Wearing a white dress, surrounded by seven-colored light, and with that peerless face that made one forget worldly matters upon seeing it, she truly felt like a goddess descending to the mortal world.

That one meeting left an extremely deep and stunning impression on Gu Qingchen.

"Wait, this woman couldn't be referring to our first meeting, could she?"

Gu Qingchen realized.

He always felt that Luo Jinghong still hadn't given up on her designs on him and was still thinking of how to take him as her disciple. Mentioning the Star River Waterfall again this time—could she be trying to play the emotional card?

Just as Gu Qingchen's thoughts were swirling, Luo Jinghong spoke again: "I want to go there again."

"Sure."

Gu Qingchen nodded without much surprise, "It just so happens that I haven't been home for several years either. I was planning to find time to go back and take a look."

These words of his were sincere.

Ever since he heard that his mother had gouged out a Female Cousin from the Clan's Momentary Divine Eye and transplanted it into his younger sister, Gu Familys Youngest Ancestor, he had planned to return to the Gu Family.

"Very good."

Luo Jinghong nodded slightly and then instantly accelerated.

In the next moment, the three of them broke through the space barrier. Gu Qingchen looked out, and the long-absent Gu Family was already before his eyes...
