If a servant was close to their master, the laws of master and servant between heaven and earth would take effect.
At such times, the master could only sense that a servant was nearby.
But they would not know which particular Heavenly Dao Slave Mark it was.
He Pingsheng naturally did not know either. Delight first filled him, and his first thought was Zhou Qingmei.
Zhou Qingmei had ascended?
But then he thought again: That's not right. The Slave Mark between Zhou Qingmei and me was removed.
Then who else could it be?
That old rascal Stone Gatherer?
Whoosh...
With these thoughts running through his mind, He Pingsheng changed direction and flew toward the pull of Stone Gatherer's aura.
After flying for half an incense stick's worth of time without stopping, He Pingsheng could finally sense it clearly.
It was not Stone Gatherer!
It was Jinku!

Later, He Pingsheng had taken his soul, and the two had been both teacher and friend. He had even accompanied He Pingsheng into the Underworld to retrieve Zhou Qingmei's soul.
Still later, He Pingsheng had wanted to kill him but could not. To prevent the secret of the [Treasure-Gathering Basin] he carried from leaking out, he had been left with no choice but to make Jinku his servant. Of course, He Pingsheng had also sworn a Heavenly Dao Oath, promising never to enslave Jinku for the rest of his life.
