To Be by Senior Brother's Side, Wan'er Has No Regrets in This Life

Li Muwan also realized that she seemed to have said something wrong. She hurriedly cupped her hands and bowed to Ancestor Lanruo. Just as she was about to explain, Ancestor Lanruo raised a hand to stop her.

"Forget it. If you wish to leave, I will not stop you. Besides, being able to cultivate at Senior Lin Che's side is also a fortunate opportunity for you."

Ancestor Lanruo understood better than anyone the significance of the Nascent Soul Transformation stage. Moreover, from their words, actions, and Li Muwan's mannerisms, it was not difficult to see that her relationship with Senior Lin Che was anything but ordinary.

If she were to refuse them, the consequences were something even Lan Ruo did not need to spell out; the other Nascent Soul ancestors would understand as well.

At that moment, a plea for help suddenly came from outside the door. A token then abruptly appeared before them, and the voice of a War God Hall expert came from within it.

"The Fire Beasts have broken through the seal and are currently launching a massive assault on Fire Ember Country. Fellow Daoists of the Luo He Sect, please hurry to the War God Hall to discuss countermeasures."

"So soon!"

The Luo He Sect Ancestor's face turned livid. He had not expected the Fire Beasts to break the seal so quickly. If they reached this place, every disciple of the Luo He Sect would be utterly annihilated.

Ancestor Lanruo frowned and looked toward Lin Che. "Senior, we juniors must leave the Luo He Sect. Could you please help watch over the sect? This junior would be eternally grateful!"

"Go."

Lin Che agreed without hesitation. After resolving the matter of the Sky Severance Pill here, he intended to take Li Muwan and her brother away from Fire Ember Country.

After leaving Fire Ember Country, Lin Che also planned to head to the Ancient God's Land and obtain the Inheritance of Memories that Tuosen had longed for so desperately.

According to the original story, after Wang Lin entered the Ancient God's Land, Tuosen would completely break free of his seal. However, without the Inheritance of Memories, he had no way to leave the Ancient God's Land, which gave Wang Lin the time to escape.

If Lin Che went there after Wang Lin entered the Ancient God's Land, Tuosen would certainly notice him immediately. At that point, Tuosen would absolutely arrange for Do Mu and the others to hunt him down relentlessly, and he might not even be able to obtain the Inheritance of Memories.

Therefore, if he wanted to obtain the Inheritance of Memories in advance, he had to enter the Ancient God's Land first, seize the inheritance, and become an expert of the Ancient God realm.

Lin Che slowly rose and followed Li Muwan to the courtyard where she had once lived.

As an elite disciple, Li Muwan had been assigned a private courtyard by the Luo He Sect for cultivation. Since she excelled in alchemy, her courtyard was also the most luxurious.

"Senior Brother, this is where Wan'er used to cultivate. Let me show you around."

Lin Che nodded and entered the courtyard beside Li Muwan. As for her brother, Li Qiqing, he left, giving this time to Senior Lin Che and his younger sister.

Li Muwan's courtyard stood amid a tranquil bamboo grove, surrounded by faint spiritual energy that made the place seem especially elegant and serene.

The courtyard was filled with all manner of precious spiritual herbs, releasing a light medicinal fragrance. They were clearly used for her daily alchemy.

At its center stood a small, exquisite pavilion, furnished with a stone table and several stone stools. A delicate tea set rested upon the table.

Lin Che followed Li Muwan into the courtyard, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings. He could not help but marvel at how extraordinary the Luo He Sect's treatment of elite disciples truly was.

Not only was Li Muwan's courtyard rich in spiritual energy, but it was also arranged with exceptional elegance. Every detail reflected her taste and care.

"Senior Brother, this way."

Li Muwan spoke softly and led Lin Che across the courtyard to the door of her room.

As the door opened, a faint fragrance drifted toward them. The room was simply furnished yet refined, with several landscape paintings hanging on the walls. The bookshelves were packed with alchemy manuals and cultivation techniques.

An exquisite pill furnace stood in one corner of the room. Its fire had long since gone out, yet a faint medicinal scent still lingered upon its body.

"This is where I usually refined pills and cultivated," Li Muwan said softly, a trace of nostalgia flashing through her eyes.

Lin Che nodded, glancing around the room before saying quietly, "Stay here and cultivate for the next few days. Once this matter is settled, I will take you to Chu Country."

"Chu Country?"

Li Muwan pressed her delicate lips together and asked curiously, "Chu Country? What are we going there for?"

"There is a sect within Chu Country called the Cloud Heaven Sect. You may have heard of it. The Cloud Heaven Sect is an alchemy sect in Chu Country, and both its elders and disciples are renowned for alchemy. It will greatly benefit your future cultivation."

Li Muwan also understood the implication behind Lin Che's words and immediately asked, "Senior Brother, are you leaving?"

"That's right."

With one hand behind his back, Lin Che slowly walked to the window. Looking at the dazzling Starry Sky, he said softly, "After this journey is over, I need to make a trip to the Ancient God's Land."

"The Ancient God's Land is fraught with danger and filled with powerful experts. Even I cannot say for certain that I will survive. That is why I can only leave you at the Cloud Heaven Sect first. Only then can I rest easy."

Unlike other women, Li Muwan did not throw a tantrum without reason. She also respected the choices of others, so she agreed at once. "I understand, Senior Brother. Then I will go to the Cloud Heaven Sect and wait for you."

"Wait for the day you return."

Lin Che glanced slightly over his shoulder at Li Muwan and smiled. "It has been a long time since anyone said those words to me. Over the past hundred years, I have witnessed countless lives and deaths. It is time I relaxed a little."

Li Muwan smiled gently, walked to Lin Che's side, and watched the dazzling river of stars with him. In a soft voice, she said, "To be by Senior Brother's side, Wan'er has no regrets in this life."

The stars streaked across the silent night sky like glittering diamonds scattered over the boundless heavens.

Lin Che raised his head toward the Starry Sky, a profound glimmer flashing through his eyes. He stood quietly in the courtyard, feeling the night breeze brush against him, while countless thoughts churned in his heart.

Li Muwan stood beside him, her gaze also fixed on the endless Starry Sky, her eyes filled with longing and tranquility.

At dawn the next day, the rooster crowed.

Lin Che slowly opened his eyes after finishing his cultivation. The room was silent, and Li Muwan had already left the courtyard.

Lin Che rose, brushed the dust from his shoulders, and went into the courtyard, preparing to sample the tea of Fire Ember Country.

"Master, the Fire Beasts in Fire Ember Country seem to have already broken through the seal. They are slaughtering the mortals and cultivators here."

At that moment, the voice of Giant Demon Ancestor Leiji rang in Lin Che's ear.

Lin Che picked up the teacup on the table and gently swirled it, saying with a smile, "The Fire Beasts breaking the seal was already inevitable. Besides, we came to Fire Ember Country only for Wan'er's Sky Severance Pill, as well as her brother, Li Qiqing."

"As for Fire Ember Country... let it continue along the cycle of Karma."
