Looking at this little girl who had followed him and his disciples for four hundred years, Ling Nan's heart, which had remained calm for hundreds of years, couldn't help but have a hint of a ripple.
Four hundred years ago, after Ling Nan had broken through the Nascent Infant stage, Spiritual Master Hao Cheng brought him to visit his old friend.
On the way back from his friend's place, he coincidentally met with a family of three being hunted down, their parents had already been killed to protect their daughter, and seeing that the little girl was about to lose her life, Ling Nan, who had just had a breakthrough in cultivation, acted angrily and stood in front of the little girl, regardless of the difference in strength.
Luckily, Spiritual Master Hao Cheng had acted in time to block the enemy and save Ling Nan and the little girl.
Since then, this little girl called Sang Yiting had followed by the side of Haocheng Master and disciple.
It was just that Spiritual Master Hao Cheng not only wanted to teach Ling Nan, he also wanted to prepare for the eighth stage of the Rogue Immortal Tribulation. He did not take Sang Yiting as her disciple.
After interacting with each other for a long time, Sang Yiting, who had just opened her heart, gradually developed feelings for Ling Nan, the benefactor who saved his life and the person who guided him in cultivation.
And ever since Ling Nan had experienced emotional betrayal, even though his personality had become firm and decisive, he had also locked his heart deep within. It was not that he didn't know Sang Yiting's feelings, it was just that he had never had the courage to accept it.
Now, Spiritual Master Hao Cheng's death reminded Ling Nan: Although cultivators can live an endless life, this road is also full of variables, and the person in front of him is the person he needs to cherish the most.
When he fulfills his Master's last wish, he had to face her bravely, not because he was worried about his personal gains and losses. Otherwise, he might regret it for the rest of his life.
The two returned to their usual practice areas. The furnishings inside the cave were simple and crude. There was a stone table, a few stone stools, and near the wall, there were four prayer mats on the ground.
In the secret cave where the three of them were in seclusion, there was only a praying mat.
Let alone Rogue Immortals, even the cultivation grounds of an ordinary Nascent Infant cultivator was slightly more luxurious than this place.
Perhaps only the extremely dense natural spiritual energy, the layers upon layers of high-grade formations and restrictive spells, would be able to prove that the owner of this cave abode was a Seven Calamities, Rogue Immortal!
Ling Nan gently caressed the Storage Ring on the ring finger on his right hand. This was something that Spiritual Master Hao Cheng had specially refined for him after Ling Nan had succeeded in his tribulation.
Inside were the treasures bestowed to him by his master, the cultivation technique and Jade Chip, as well as all kinds of materials for refining pills that he had collected over the past ten thousand years.
This was Hao Cheng's highest achievement in artifact forging — a low rank Immortal Artifact level storage treasure. It was also the last thing his master had left for him.
