Chapter 147: Chapter 147
"Ah? Why!" Rather than having her sister stay with her for a while, Luo Qingyao found it more unacceptable to be unable to be with Fan Wubing.
Fan Wubing said seriously,
"I need to go back home for the New Year. It's been a long time since I've last returned."
"This..." Luo Qingyao was stunned. The reason was too legitimate, leaving her completely at a loss for a counterargument.
"So when will you come back?"
"Probably early February. I definitely need to experience the lectures of an Integration Realm expert."
"I won't be able to see you for an entire month?"
Fan Wubing showed his bright white teeth,
"You can come back home with me. I'll introduce you to my family."
Luo Qingyao was really tempted!
For her, such words were like a finishing move. But at this time, her sister was coming over, and as the younger sister, if she didn't keep a close eye, who knows what might happen.
Luo Qingyao immediately put on a long face,
"Senior Brother... Can't you postpone it for a month and wait until my sister leaves before going back home for a visit?"
Fan Wubing tilted his chin up,
"That won't do!" Dıscover more novels at novel•fire.net
"Senior Brother~" Luo Qingyao was about to burst into tears.
Fan Wubing said with a smile,
"I'm just teasing you. I have other matters and must go back this time. It's not for fun, so it's inconvenient to bring anyone along. I'll take you to have fun when I really have free time in the future."
"Don't try to play the 'matryoshka' game with me."
Luo Qingyao was easy to appease, and her face immediately lit up with a smile again, "I knew it, Senior Brother must already consider me family! But... I still hope Senior Brother sees me as..." Her cheeks slightly blushed.
"It's not even night yet, and you're daydreaming already."
Fan Wubing turned and strode away.
"Where are you going!"
"To ask for leave from the Sect Leader!"
Luo Qingyao is a good kid, unfortunately so.
Fan Wubing couldn't have any thoughts of crossing the "senior brother-sister" relationship with someone like her. Just like same poles of a magnet, the closer she got, the more instinctively Fan Wubing wanted to distance himself.
Perhaps, it also had to do with someone else's too steady and deep position in his heart, making it difficult for others to get close.
Choosing this time to leave the Eternal Immortal Sect was actually because of the impending arrival of Ying Huo's predation.
When he was ten, due to lack of preparation, Ying Huo's arrival caused a huge commotion, making the entire Eternal Immortal Sect panic, thinking it was some great catastrophe.
This time, he needed to stay far away and find a secluded place.
Even though there was always rootless Qi stored in his body, acting as a blood bank, and he had the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill as a Recovery Skill, there was no need to worry about the state of residual blood after Ying Huo's predation like before.
But this thing indeed left too deep a psychological shadow on Fan Wubing, so he thought about adding another layer of insurance. Therefore, he planned to go home and ask his father Fan Qi where he got that Spirit-Extending Grass.
The place where the Spirit-Extending Grass grows might have life-saving abilities.
Moreover... staying in the Eternal Immortal Sect posed another hazard.
Since the Peach Blossom Spring, he had suspicions, and during the last annual assessment, it was basically confirmed that there was indeed someone in the shadows of the Eternal Immortal Sect who had "set their eyes on him."
Since the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill couldn't uncover that person, it means either they're skilled at hiding or they're not ordinary in strength.
In the state of residual blood after Ying Huo's predation, if he were found by that hidden person, it would likely be disastrous.
Considering these factors, Fan Wubing decided to leave the Eternal Immortal Sect.
If it weren't for these miscellaneous matters, what he most desired would definitely be to stay in the Eternal Immortal Sect and wait for Senior Sister to return.
While thinking about all sorts of things, he arrived at the Sect Leader Hall.
Fan Wubing was rather favored by Mei Jinqiu, having the privilege to directly visit without a prior request.
At this time, Mei Jinqiu was entertaining guests from the Great Li Dynasty.
The visitors from Great Li were mainly here to apologize for the offense made by Crown Prince Li Ye Yixian during the founding ceremony.
Fan Wubing waited outside.
"Everyone must be tired from the journey, please rest first." After the interaction concluded, Mei Jinqiu said.
"Sect Leader Mei, I have a request." Ye Yixian said, "In my personal capacity."
"Crown Prince, feel free to speak."
"I heard that Zhu Zixuan from Wangxian Pavilion will give a lecture in early February next year on Little South Continent. I am quite eager to experience it. I wonder... if it would be possible to stay temporarily at the Eternal Immortal Sect until then?"
Mei Jinqiu contemplated. He didn't think this was the real reason. Ye Yixian, as the Crown Prince of the Great Li Dynasty from Changsheng Continent, surely had heard Zhu Zixuan's lectures before... Even if so, what relation does it have with staying at the Eternal Immortal Sect? Could it be that he's also eyeing the luck of our Eternal Immortal Sect?
Ye Yixian added with a smile, "Please rest assured, Sect Leader Mei, I guarantee it with my position as the Crown Prince of Great Li."
To even say such things?
Mei Jinqiu pondered a little, smiled, and said, "The Eternal Immortal Sect has always welcomed friendly visitors from all directions, Crown Prince is too courteous. If there's anything unsatisfactory, please inform me."
"Thank you, Sect Leader Mei. I'll go to rest now."
"Have a good rest, I'll have someone show you around the Eternal Immortal Sect tomorrow."
After Ye Yixian bid farewell and had just walked out of the Sect Leader Hall, he saw Fan Wubing. Without an air of superiority, he cupped his hands with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Fan, we meet again."
"How is the Crown Prince faring recently?"
"Thanks to Fellow Daoist's care, everything is well. I'll be staying at the Eternal Immortal Sect for a month."
Fan Wubing felt puzzled inside, why did everyone want to stay temporarily? He smiled, "I hope Your Highness will find the stay comfortable."
"Does Fellow Daoist Fan have time? Could you possibly show me around your sect?"
"I'm afraid I can't fulfill Your Highness's wishes. I have important matters this month."
"What a pity, then I wish Fellow Daoist Fan all the best."
Fan Wubing couldn't find a single fault with Ye Yixian, truly proving that as the Crown Prince of a dynasty, he was indeed beyond what ordinary nobles could compare to.
