"It was indeed my fault for never paying you a visit. Please forgive me, senior sister."
Hearing this, Liu Yu immediately replied in a low voice, expressing his apologies.
After receiving so much help from the Yan Household, failing to visit and offer his thanks was rather inexcusable. No matter how he looked at it, he was somewhat in the wrong.
They walked on for a while. After some thought, Liu Yu added quietly:
"But I have difficulties I cannot avoid."
"My ordinary aptitude of three spiritual roots is nothing remarkable within the Sects. If I do not devote myself to cultivation, wouldn't I be abandoning even my last sliver of hope of reaching the great Dao of the Golden Core?"
"Only by putting most of my time and energy into cultivation can I hope to reach the Golden Core bottleneck within my lifetime."
"Since I have been fortunate enough to step onto the immortal path, I refuse to muddle through my life and end up as a handful of yellow earth. I, too, have dreamed of the scenery at the heights of the cultivation path."
Liu Yu's words were nine parts truth and one part falsehood, but his last sentence was utterly sincere.
Having been fortunate enough to come to a world where immortality was no longer an elusive fantasy, wouldn't he be squandering a heaven-defying opportunity if he failed to glimpse the scenery at the heights of the immortal path?
This was also the first time, and very likely the last, that he had revealed his innermost feelings and ambitions to another person.
Neither of them paused as they spoke. Yan Hongyu showed no change in expression, but inwardly, she was far from calm.
Cast aside all distractions and devote yourself to the immortal Dao.
