Feng Jun got no answer from the Guardians and could only leave dejectedly.
The Guardians had clearly left some things unsaid, but he could not exactly force them to speak.
In any case, it was enough to know that the Wenchang Brush would do him no harm.
Cultivation had always been an intensely personal matter. Who could demand that others take responsibility for their own cultivation?
Still, this exchange left him somewhat dispirited. Sure enough, once cultivation reached the later stages, everyone had to choose their own path.
Previously, he had not truly understood what it meant that "there was no path after Soul Emergence." Now, however, he had gained something of an understanding.
For that reason, he made a special trip back to Chaori County to settle his state of mind.
Since going to Yang City to work, this was only the second time he had stayed in Chaori for so long. The previous time had been during some holiday.
Ask Immortal Manor had been fully completed, and several families connected to his parents had already moved in.
Yet such an enormous Ask Immortal Manor was far too quiet. Although every facility was in place, no one actually lived there.
Everyone stayed in the villas belonging to Feng Jun's parents by the village entrance. More than twenty rooms housed seven or eight families, making the place fairly lively.
Feng Jun had no desire to interact with them—not because he did not want to socialize, but because... what was there to say?
He went to sit quietly beside the small lake, intending to sort out his feelings.
Ma Sanniang was also cultivating by the lake, soaking up spiritual energy. When she noticed his arrival, she actually did not dare go up and greet him.
