Chapter 631 - Fei Yuyans Decision (1/2)

”Hello, everyone. It's been a while.” Yuan greeted Long Yijun and the other sect elders.

”It's only been a few months. This amount of time is nothing in the cultivation world.” Elder Xuan said with a smile on his face.

”Madam Feng… Seniors… Welcome to the Dragon Essence Temple.” Long Yijun then greeted Feng Yuxiang and the others.

”I heard you're going to challenge the Stairway to Heaven soon, is that right? You grow up so quickly.” Elder Shan approached him until she was standing directly behind him.

She then wrapped her arms around him and embraced him in a playful manner.

”I swear it wasn't long ago that you were a Spirit Warrior. Your talents are screwing with my sense of time,” she sighed.

Although the others would normally call out her shamelessness, the sect elders remained silent this time.

Once she had enough, Elder Shan released Yuan and asked him, ”Are you going to challenge the Stairway to Heaven right after leaving this place?”

”I still have one place to visit after this, but once that is done, I will challenge the stairway,” he said.

”How long do you plan on staying here?” Elder Xuan asked him.

”I probably won't stay too long since I only have to pick up someone before I am ready to leave.”

”Who are you picking up?” Long Yijun raised his brows.

”Min Li,” he calmly said.

”Eh? Min Li from the Min Family? Why are you picking her up?” Long Yijun continued to ask.

”I am going to bring her with me to the Stairway to Heaven,” he responded.

”What?! She's also going to challenge the Stairway to Heaven?!” The people there were surprised to learn this information.

”But she's only a Spirit Warrior! There's no way she'll succeed!”

Yuan waved his hand and said, ”That's not it. I will be helping her climb the stairway, so she doesn't actually have to climb it herself.”

Everyone there stared at him with wide eyes.

Long Yijun then spoke with a frown on his face, ”Yuan… You are aware that by helping her, it will make your climb much more difficult, right?”

”Yes, I am well aware of it.”

”And you're still willing to help her? You're really too kind, Yuan…” Elder Xuan said with a warm smile on his face.

”Hm? But wait a moment… Min Li from the Min Family had to return to her family's headquarters for some reason, so she's not in the sect at this moment.” Elder Bai suddenly said.

”What? When did this happen?” Long Yijun asked, as he was not aware of this information.

”Last week. I saw it in the reports, but I didn't think it was worth mentioning to you, so I didn't say anything. After all, people from the Legacy Families are always going back and forth, so this isn't anything unusual.”

”Min Li is not at the sect? Do you know when she will return?” Yuan then asked.

”Unfortunately, she didn't leave behind any additional notes, so we don't know when she'll return.”

”Hmm… How far away is the Min Family? I think it would be quicker if I go there instead.”

”The Min Family isn't that far away. In fact, you can get to that place in just a few hours if you use teleport formations.” Elder Xuan said.
