Chen Fan didn't know why Yue Lingling wanted to see him, but he nodded nonetheless.
It's a good opportunity to talk to Chen Yue'er about this, and take her with me. After all, the Chen Lineage family's own genius needs a surge in development to drive it forward, and they also need a leader.
Chen Yue'er is a good age and all are qualified. It's all thanks to the Ancient Moon Clan.
then.
They then wandered around freely.
Yue Lingling said, "Ancestor, I've come to talk about Yue'er. Although she's a Chen Lineage, she's a newcomer..."
You understand? The Chen Lineage has changed so much. It's perfectly reasonable for a master to pave the way for his disciple.
... Although she herself didn't believe it when she said it.
Of course, she was just going along with the flow, using it as an excuse to find Chen Fan. If the Chen Lineage patriarch insisted on asking questions, then selling her disciple wouldn't matter; it wasn't important.
Chen Fan thought for a moment, "Is Chen Yue'er really that incompetent? She can't even adapt to the environment?"
He then paid no further attention, saying, "Clan Chief Gu Yue can rest assured, the Chen Lineage will do its utmost to nurture Chen Yue'er."
"Also, since we've brought her up, there's something I need to tell you..."
"Ancestor, just speak plainly." Yue Lingling felt that she had guessed correctly and had finally found common ground.
Then it seems we won't need to sell any disciples.
Chen Fan hummed in agreement, "In the future, I will be taking Chen Yue'er with me, and I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to return to the Ancient Moon Clan..."
The handover ceremony must be carried out; otherwise, it will seem like a robbery.
Upon hearing this, Yue Lingling's expression froze slightly.
A continent, yet it's so difficult to return to the Ancient Moon Clan? Then this "taking away" is worth speculating about.
So that's how it is... Perhaps this is something she doesn't know.
"Could it be that the Ancestor has a better place?" Ignoring the disciple for now, let's get down to business.
Chen Fan did not deny it.
They didn't answer directly.
"This world is so vast. We are like trapped beasts struggling, fighting against this very sky. Rather than sitting in a well and looking at the sky, we should break through this sky..."
That's right, we're going to change maps.
Upon hearing this, Yue Lingling's expression showed some shock.
Even a cornered beast will fight; a frog in a well has no idea what it's like to look at the sky...
That single sentence completely changed her understanding. Because there was a hidden meaning in those words—could it be that beyond this world, there are still worlds beyond worlds...?
As expected, although the Chen Lineage patriarch was a young master, his level was far beyond hers.
No wonder she couldn't figure it out.
"Ancestor, does Yue'er know about this?"
She wasn't stupid; there was no need to press for answers. Since the Chen Lineage patriarch had told her this, it couldn't be false. Moreover, he most likely already had a solution!
Perhaps for her, it was hard to imagine and shocking, as she was unable to escape the constraints of the Heavenly Dao. But for the young man before her, who was at the pinnacle of the continent, it was probably just a trivial matter.
After all, the fact that the Ancient God Clan had fallen meant that the Chen Lineage family patriarch's strength and level were above that of the Ancient God Clan.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have given her such a profound feeling. After all, she was a super strong person who almost stepped into the Peak of the Emperor Realm!
"She doesn't know yet, but she will find out soon," Chen Fan replied.
Talking to the strong is effortless; Yue Lingling has probably already figured that out.
Yue Lingling nodded in agreement; this was a good thing.
Then, as if remembering something, he said, "Ancestor, there were some changes in the Heavenly Dao a few days ago, could it be?"
This was something she couldn't understand, but it must be serious. Perhaps there was some connection? She thought to herself.
"It was I who intervened; there's nothing seriously wrong, just a little trouble," Chen Fan said casually.
Upon hearing this, Yue Lingling realized it was true. There was no need to ask further; knowing this was enough for her. She also felt she was getting closer and closer to the secret...
But that's not enough. If her disciple is taken away, what will happen to her as the master?
Go with her? That's even harder than staying with the Chen Lineage. It seems necessary to discuss with my disciple whether we can sell her and create another opportunity...
Thinking of this, "In that case, Ancestor, I would like to stay here before Yue'er leaves and instruct her. Is that alright?"
Chen Fan suspected that Yue Lingling was trying to take advantage of him. But it wasn't a big deal, since they were going to change maps anyway.
"Clan Chief Gu Yue is too kind. Since you are Master Yue'er, it is only natural."
Yue Lingling breathed a sigh of relief.
That way I can stay with the Chen Lineage longer. With time, why worry about not having opportunities?
Chen Yue'er didn't know how her master and the ancestor had discussed the matter.
Anyway, the opportunity to be alone together is here, but I don't know if I can involve my master and give it to their Chen Lineage patriarch for nothing.
But at least we've taken the first step. As long as we have time, why worry about not having another opportunity?
It was at this time that Yue Lingling returned.
"Master." Chen Yue'er glanced at her master's expression; he seemed to be in a good mood.
There's hope!
Yue Lingling is processing some information.
" Yue'er, I have met with the Ancestor."
"Master, how is it?"
"Don't worry, there's nothing serious about your situation."
Yue Lingling hesitated slightly, "However, the Ancestor said that it won't be long before he takes you away..."
Chen Yue'er's expression changed slightly. How did it become me who dragged my master into this mess?
Where are you taking me? Are you suggesting...? This is all so confusing!
"Master, how could this be..." Completely stunned.
"Don't overthink it. They should be taking the entire Chen Lineage with them," Yue Lingling said.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yue'er breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she was so eager to involve her master that she had overthought things.
"Master, where are we going?"
"Go to a place even I don't know, and you'll find out then." Yue Lingling smiled.
"Master, you don't know either?"
"Yes, the Ancestor's level is beyond my reach. However, I can assure you that it will be of greater benefit to you."
Chen Yue'er saw this clearly and thought, "This is promising. As long as Master says so, Ancestor will definitely be able to suppress Master!"
As for things that even her master didn't know, she wasn't too concerned. It wasn't something she could control anyway.
"Master, are you staying?"
Yue Lingling hummed in agreement, "I'll stay here until you all leave..."
"Great! As long as Master stays, he'll be willing to sacrifice himself. "Chen Yue'er thought to herself.
"However..." Yue Lingling hesitated.
" Yue'er, do you need your teacher to continue guiding you?"
Chen Yue'er was stunned. "Master, no need. No matter what, I will return to the Ancient Moon Clan in the future..."
No, it's really not necessary. That's just an excuse she made up. What does Master mean by this?
Yue Lingling shook her head, "It's very difficult. Yue'er, you'll need my guidance all the time!"
"Okay." Chen Yue'er was confused, not knowing what had happened.
What's difficult?
Yue Lingling smiled. As long as her disciple spoke, things would be easy. She could just sell her disciple out of the blue, and it would be perfectly legitimate.
" Yue'er, why don't you stay here with your master tonight and keep him company?"
Chen Yue'er: "..."
I never intended to get myself involved, yet my master is willing to share a bed with me.
And it seems Master is quite willing to stay in the Chen Lineage? I wonder what happened.
But it seems like a good thing, because this way, they'll have more time to give their master to the Chen Lineage patriarch.
In any case, they managed to keep their master here.
