Just as Shenxinzi was inwardly admiring Pan An's grasp of the human heart, Long Qing could not help asking, "If you're so amazing, why would you stay in Medicine Valley?"
Shenxinzi smiled gently. "I am not of the Taixuan Sect. I simply like the atmosphere here and wish to stay for a few hundred years, to think through the confusions in my heart."
A few hundred years...
The way Long Qing looked at Shenxinzi changed. He began to believe Shenxinzi's words.
"You say you're a Wandering Immortal, but how do you prove it? I'm not a child!" Thirteen-year-old Long Qing saying he was not a child only made Shenxinzi's smile deepen.
Shenxinzi caught Long Qing by the shoulder, and before Long Qing could react, he leaped up.
Long Qing's vision blurred. He instinctively shut his eyes, and when he opened them again, the sight before him left him dazzled.
He had actually come to the sky!
Below was a boundless sea of clouds; when he lifted his head, there was a starry sky, as though he stood in the night, only those stars were brighter, and there were far more of them.
Packed densely together, more numerous than the flowers and grasses in the valley!
Long Qing's mouth fell open, and an extraordinary light flickered in his bright eyes.
With stars filling the heavens and hanging overhead, the world in Long Qing's eyes expanded without limit. He turned in place, not even realizing there was no ground beneath his feet.
Shenxinzi stood to the side, smiling.
All of a sudden, he understood Bodhi Patriarch's feelings again.
No wonder Gu An had said Bodhi Patriarch was very fond of Sun Wukong.
Long Qing spun several times before suddenly realizing he was suspended in midair, frightening him into hurriedly grabbing Shenxinzi's sleeve.
