Chapter 498: Greetings, Little Junior Sister
The Ghost Ancestor glanced at him coldly: "If I were to run into Yun Peng, I definitely wouldn’t have picked you up! What else can you do besides cause trouble?"
Lan Ling was resentful, hmph, forget it, I don’t feel like talking anymore!
The Ghost Ancestor’s gaze fell upon Han Jing, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "She, I originally did not plan to take on any more apprentices in this lifetime, but now the Spirit Cultivation Realm is in chaos. I’ve always admired that boy Yun Peng; if I could meet him before Old Man Yun, I would surely take him as an apprentice. As things stand, taking his wife as an apprentice is also a twist of fate. You must help me save face, don’t let others look down on me!"
Han Jing was astonished that the Ghost Ancestor agreed so easily. She hastily kowtowed three times: "Disciple greets Master!"
Lan Ling chuckled and said: "Greetings, little junior sister!"
Han Jing couldn’t be bothered with him; in terms of seniority, he should call her sister-in-law, so no matter what, she wouldn’t suffer a loss!
"Alright, stand up." The Ghost Ancestor looked at Lan Ling and Han Jing, then spoke to Han Jing: "There’s something you both need to listen to carefully. In the past, I definitely would not have restricted you, but now you have seen, Old Man Yun is trapped in the Delusion Void Array, and the Spirit Flame Sect, the foremost sect in the Spirit Cultivation Realm, has become disorganized. What will happen in the future is yet to be seen, but chaos in the Spirit Cultivation Realm is inevitable. It’s said that without rules, things cannot form a circle, but the Spirit Cultivation Realm now has no rules. Lingyou Hall originally did not agree with the position of Spirit Flame Sect as the number one sect in the Spirit Cultivation Realm, and now they are certain to take over. Our Ghost Realm sect stands alone, not involved in power struggles, but you two have personal grudges with Lingyou Hall, which you are aware of. Therefore, the priority now is to enhance strength, so that when you encounter enemies in the future, you will have the capability to protect yourselves. Do you understand?"
Lan Ling and Han Jing nodded; Han Jing became a disciple of Ghost Ancestor with the aim of rapidly improving strength.
"Since that’s the case, you should prepare and return to the Ghost Realm with me! To cultivate, naturally you cannot stay here; otherwise, another ten years will pass without improvement!" Ghost Ancestor looked at Han Jing: "I will continue to investigate news about Yun Peng, and after Xiao Xue’s full moon, we will return to the Ghost Realm!"
He did not give Han Jing the choice, but directly told her what to do.
Since he agreed to take her as a disciple, he wouldn’t let her stay in the comfort of Hanjing City and waste time. If she couldn’t understand this simple truth, then taking her on as a disciple would be meaningless.
Han Jing hesitated not at all, and immediately nodded: "Disciple understands!"
She was once forged from countless battles, and she understood better than anyone that a comfortable environment rarely fosters true growth. She wanted to rapidly elevate herself, and staying in Hanjing City was not the way. Even though she received news about Su Yu, she was powerless, so even if the Ghost Ancestor hadn’t suggested it, she would have proposed changing locations.
But now, besides herself, there were An’an, her mother, and the others; she didn’t quite know how to arrange things. They surely wouldn’t want to be separated from her. Xiao Xue, she definitely needed to keep by her side, but as for everyone else, during this time, she would have to discuss it thoroughly with them.
There was also the fact that Yun Feng had returned to the Spirit Cultivation Realm several days ago, and no news had come since, which left her a bit uneasy.
