Yu Chen's communication talisman had been even simpler. He had come several times, but Xiao Hua had never responded. He understood perfectly well that Xiao Hua must have been in seclusion, so he had not disturbed him further. There were truly many cultivators heading to the Mo Ran Black Forest; the later Xiao Hua left, the more freely Yu Chen could make arrangements.
Xiao Hua examined the several communication talismans, then sent out Yu Chen's talisman before asking Xue Xue, "Wife, how is your cultivation technique progressing? If everything falls into place naturally, your husband will accompany you in establishing your foundation in Haoming City. Otherwise, I have arranged things with Captain Yu, and we must set out for the Qiang He Sea."
Upon hearing this, Xue Xue did not hesitate in the slightest. Smiling, she said, "I do not know why, but I always have lingering thoughts in my heart. I feel that this is not the best time for Foundation Establishment. Even the cultivation technique Husband gave me has only begun to show some results. I decided long ago that we should discuss it as we travel."
"Everything shall follow Wife's wishes!" Xiao Hua said with a smile. "That cultivation technique benefits the meridians. The more years you cultivate it, the greater your confidence will be! Your Foundation Establishment is unlike ours—it is tied to your very life. We cannot be anything but cautious!"
Afterward, Xiao Hua put away the pill furnace and the other items. Xue Xue also packed up the things she had left in the cave abode. Before long, Yu Chen arrived. The moment they met, he scrutinized Xiao Hua from head to toe. Unfortunately, after looking for quite some time, he could not discern anything unusual. Xiao Hua was still at early Foundation Establishment.
