Chapter 657: Ice Lake (Part 1)
When Han Siqu was in the Capital City, he hadn’t met Yun Feng, so he didn’t know if the person he encountered was who Han Jing was looking for. They were just passing strangers; that person helped him save Jiangnan, so naturally, he told him everything he knew about the situation in Hanwu Forest.
He remembered inquiring about the location of Ice Lake, saying he wanted to find something.
Having stayed in Hanwu Forest for a few years, he had adapted to its environment. In order to hone his cultivation, he frequently ventured into the forest, so he knew the location of Ice Lake and how to reach it safely.
So he shared all he knew with that person.
As for other things, he truly wasn’t clear about them.
"What kind of place is Ice Lake?" Han Jing asked.
"It’s located at the center of Hanwu Forest, where there’s an ice mountain surrounded by a lake, but the lake water doesn’t freeze, which is quite strange. That lake is Ice Lake. Few people come to Hanwu Forest, mostly to seek medicine. Ice Lake is barren, with even wild animals avoiding it," Han Siqu frowned. "I’m curious why a doctor went there, but he mentioned he was searching for something to save a friend, so I didn’t ask further."
"Looking for something, saving a friend..." Han Jing frowned. She was about eighty percent certain that person was Yun Feng.
If her previous suspicion was correct, Su Yu hadn’t actually lost his memory, yet he was indeed struck with the Soul Stabilizing Needle. There had to be some hidden reasons.
So Yun Feng’s quest in Hanwu Forest was likely to find a way to remove the Soul Stabilizing Needle from Su Yu’s body.
"Dad, do you know how to get to Ice Lake?" Han Jing asked.
Han Siqu nodded: "I know."
"Then how about you take us there tomorrow? Once we meet Yun Feng, perhaps everything will become clear."
"No problem, tonight you can rest here, and we’ll set off early in the morning. However, Ice Lake is quite far from here, it might take a few days to get there," Han Siqu said.
"That’s okay, no matter how far, we must go there," Han Jing looked at Han Siqu. "Dad, you’ve been out for so many years, why not come back with us this time, bring Jiangnan along? Once we return to the Prayer Pavilion, we’ll head to Nanyao Country and bring Mother over. Little Xue is always making a fuss about bringing my mother here; the Prayer Pavilion is relatively safe now."
Once her mother came, she could leave Little Xue with her and she wouldn’t have to worry about this little rascal anymore. Little Xue listened to Su Yaogeng the most.
Han Siqu did want to return. He hadn’t expected to be away for so many years, but as he glanced at his scruffy appearance, he was a bit anxious: "Jing’er, do you think... your mother will forgive me?"
Han Jing...
"Dad, whether Mother will forgive you, you’ll have to try to find out. Are you planning to waste time like this?" Han Jing supported her chin, glancing at Han Siqu. "Didn’t you confidently declare that you wouldn’t let go if you had another chance when you left back then? Why, now that your cultivation is so high, aren’t you confident?"
Han Jing felt that she herself had only reached the Blue Flame Level after being forced by the Ghost Ancestor in the Ghost Realm for so many years, but Han Siqu had reached the Blue Flame Level just by cultivating in Hanwu Forest. That was quite a feat!
