After a long while!
Only then did Chu Linger withdraw her gaze, her small hand tightly gripping the pale-golden Jade Slip.
Immediately after.
She did not hesitate, and said with a serious expression:
"Uncle Cheng, I choose the [Four Seas Azure Dragon Sutra]!"
At this.
Cheng Buzheng was not surprised.
After all.
Chu Linger had spent far longer examining the [Four Seas Azure Dragon Sutra] than the other cultivation techniques!
Likewise.
This also left Cheng Buzheng quite satisfied.
"Looks like this girl is still worth cultivating!"
"This can also be considered doing right by an old friend!"
Cheng Buzheng thought to himself.
Of course.
If Chu Linger had truly been beyond saving, Cheng Buzheng would not have taken excessive care of her either. Lending her a hand would have been enough!
But now, Chu Linger's choice happened to fulfill Cheng Buzheng's wishes.
Then.
Cheng Buzheng, seated upon the throne, said nothing more and beckoned with his hand...
The remaining Jade Slips flew back in reverse, and Cheng Buzheng put them into his Storage Bag.
Only then did he speak:
"Girl, once I retrieve the Spiritual Items I promised you, I will have to continue my travels!"
"When the time comes, I'll have your aunt return for a while to guard the sect!"
"If you encounter any doubts in your cultivation in the future, you may come seek your aunt's guidance."
Hearing this.
Chu Linger's heart stirred, as though she had thought of something.
Could this aunt she had never met be the Dao companion Uncle Cheng her mother had mentioned before?
They should be the same person, right?
After all, Uncle Cheng was an ascetic cultivator. He did not seem like a fickle man either.
Though she was somewhat curious about what kind of person Cheng Buzheng's Dao companion was!
