Yang Jian and Uchiha Shin both burst into laughter when they saw the Howling Celestial Dog.
Though the Howling Celestial Dog was not human, they still regarded him as a good friend.
"Second Brother Yang, you need to be careful from now on as well. If the monkey and I ever run into something dangerous, don't take the initiative to intervene, or you might bring trouble upon yourself," Uchiha Shin said.
Yang Jian could only nod.
"I should be heading to Flower Fruit Mountain. We'll meet again if fate permits."
Uchiha Shin left Guanjiangkou and headed for Flower Fruit Mountain on the Eastern Victory Divine Continent.
Inside Melodious Tower on the Western Ox-He Continent, Shopkeeper Yang sat in his room. He had intended to cultivate, but after cultivating for a while, he found that he simply could not calm his mind.
From time to time, Uchiha Shin kept surfacing in his thoughts. Although Shopkeeper Yang had initially used Uchiha Shin to help him obtain the Blood Spirit Pill, after getting to know Uchiha Shin, he realized that he had unknowingly come to see him as a friend—a true friend.
He had never intended to break with Uchiha Shin.
When he and Uchiha Shin had parted before Ghost Shadow Daoist's grave, Shopkeeper Yang had not felt much at the time. Yet after returning to Melodious Tower, he could not shake a sense of guilt.
He had not known Uchiha Shin for very long, and he did not know why he had come to regard him as such a good friend.
Shopkeeper Yang smiled and shook his head. Uchiha Shin was so much younger than he was; he should have regarded Uchiha Shin as a junior, yet it felt as though they were friends who had forgotten the difference in their ages.
