Ying Huaixu looked at He Xiuyuan in silence.
His stare made He Xiuyuan's skin crawl.
"Old Ying, why are you looking at me like that?"
Ying Huaixu shook his head.
"You're right, but not now!"
Xu Yaoyang really was a good helper. In the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm later on, he could indeed hold his own.
At the same time, the secret realm quest, the Heavenly Palace Index, also marked the beginning of Xu Yaoyang and Ye Ningshuang growing closer.
But now, Ying Huaixu was certain that things were unlikely to work out between Ye Ningshuang and Xu Yaoyang.
But damn it, the plot could fall apart, but it couldn't go haywire.
He couldn't end up being the one Xu Yaoyang grew closer to.
To avoid that, Ying Huaixu still had no intention of interacting much with Xu Yaoyang.
Even though He Xiuyuan had explained that Old Xu genuinely only wanted to use his spiritual energy to cultivate.
He Xiuyuan was a little disappointed to see that Ying Huaixu seemed intent on keeping Xu Yaoyang at arm's length.
Still, He Xiuyuan said, "Old Ying, although I really want to hone myself, I've gained quite a lot from this trip. I've gained another insight into artistic conception, and I need to go into seclusion to cultivate for a while. Let's meet again when the secret realm opens!"
Ying Huaixu nodded. "Sure!"
Seeing Ying Huaixu agree, Old He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ying Huaixu then went up onto the stargazing platform.
Although he had already comprehended an artistic conception, he still wanted to see whether he could comprehend another.
But even after standing on the stargazing platform for a long time, Ying Huaixu felt nothing.
"What does this mean? Is my comprehension really that poor?"
Ying Huaixu closed his eyes
