Lu Feng struggled to digest this shocking news and urgently pressed for more answers, hoping to uncover further clues about his origins.
Yet after calming down, the phantom refused to mention anything more.
Instead, to shake off Lu Feng's persistent pleas, it agreed to help Tang Yuan clear away the lingering beast soul remnants within his soul sea.
Watching from the side, Jiang Ruoyun suddenly received a covert transmission of Soul Consciousness from the phantom.
As she listened to the phantom's veiled words one after another,
Jiang Ruoyun's expression kept shifting. Her initial calm turned to bewilderment upon hearing it, then panic as she came to understand, before her gaze finally became inexplicably resolute.
It was as though she had made some decision.
At the same time,
Miao Qing's group returned to the Qingxiu Chan Sect. While heading toward the guest rooms, Miao Qing called out to a passing disciple. "Miao Shu, help arrange a guest room for a man."
Since Xiao Jiao'er and the others she had brought were all women, it would be rather inconvenient to arrange Lu Feng and his group together with them.
Miao Shu nodded, responding with respectful trepidation.
Though the two were of the same generation, both belonging to the younger "Miao" generation, Miao Qing's standing among the younger disciples was entirely different as Master Hengyi Chan's disciple.
After thinking for a moment, Miao Qing added, "Also, inform Chi Yuanqing, the benefactor. Say that the room has been prepared for his Sect Leader."
Miao Shu was startled. Thinking of Chi Yuanqing, that strange man who had caused havoc in the Zen Academy some time ago, she instinctively recoiled from the thought of approaching him. Yet since Miao Qing had spoken, and feeling that this was her karmic lot, she still accepted the task.
