Chapter 835 - The Immortal Skeleton Is Gone

Taoist Master Xuantian leaves in dejection.

No one knows what kind of agreement he has reached with Gao Ge.

However, there is one thing for sure. The reason Taoist Master Xuantian has stayed in Red Fish Village for such a long time is to wait for Gao Ge. Yet, after Gao Ge wakes up, he doesn’t seem to get any good news.

Gao Ge feels a bit embarrassed.

The Demon Quelling Seal’s being destroyed has nothing to do with him indeed but the Taoist conception did get into his body. If it were not for the powerful Taoist conception, it would be really difficult for him to reach the realm of Grand Master.

Therefore, it is the Demon Quelling Seal that facilitated his progress in cultivation.

However, Gao Ge will not tell Taoist Master Xuantian about it. Otherwise, the Celestial Master Sect would definitely make trouble for him. After all, Taoist Master Xuantian attaches so much importance to the Demon Quelling Seal.

Actually, the tomb under the sea in Red Fish Village is not surprising at all. Gao Ge has been there several times. Besides, the formation back then was not successfully made so there is nothing special about digging the tomb. Fire Dragon and the others stay here only in case of an accident.

“It is time for us to leave too,” Gao Ge says to Meng Jing.

“Yeah.” Meng Jing nods and looks a bit embarrassed.

After arriving at the airport, she suddenly says, “Gao Ge, since you are going to the capital, I will go to Jiangnan City first.”

Gao Ge is going to the capital simply because Lord Dragon King wants to meet him and he also wants to take Xia Lu back. After he came to Red Fish Village in Julang City, Xia Lu has been in the base of the Dragon Court in the capital for him.

After saying that, Meng Jing just keeps hanging her head. It seems that she doesn’t dare to meet Gao Ge’s gaze.

Gao Ge was a bit confused at first but upon seeing Meng Jing’s current reaction, he realizes why. His eyes are full of guilt.

He knows why Meng Jing doesn’t want to go to the capital with him. She is afraid that it will be awkward to meet Xia Lu.

This is all his fault.

“I’m sorry…”

Meng Jing immediately holds Gao Ge’s hand and says with a smile, “Why do you apologize? It was me who asked someone to call you so I knew about the matter. Besides, I have never meant to blame you or Xia Lu. Actually, I’ve been long prepared.”

Gao Ge believes she sincerely means what she said.

Anyone can tell that something is going on between Xia Lu and Gao Ge, except that it has never been laid bare.

Of course Meng Jing knows about it but she has never taken any action, which implies that Meng Jing has really been long prepared for this.

However, at the thought of meeting Xia Lu, Meng Jing suddenly shows the white feather.

“I haven’t figured out how I should face Xia Lu. I don’t even know what to say first when I meet her,” Meng Jing says with a bitter smile, “So, give me some more time. I believe that Xia Lu also hasn’t thought through what she should say to me now.”

Gao Ge says nothing.

“Okay? I’ll wait for you in Jiangnan City. What do you say?”

Faced with the imploration in Meng Jing’s eyes, how can Gao Ge force her to go to the capital together?

Moreover, Gao Ge can understand Meng Jing’s current thoughts.

After pondering briefly for a while, he immediately nods.

“Okay, deal then. Remember to contact me after you return to Jiangnan City.”

“Okay!” As Gao Ge agrees to her request, Meng Jing puts on a happy look and also feels relieved as if a burden were lifted off her heart.

…

On the plane towards the capital, Gao Ge sits by the window with a patch over his eyes.

After three hours or so, the plane lands in the airport of the capital.

The moment he walks out of the airport, he hears a familiar voice.

“Gao Ge, here!”

Xia Lu waves at him with her face beaming with smiles. She is still looking behind Gao Ge as if searching for something.

When Gao Ge arrives before her, she finally sticks out her head and looks around, asking, “Where is Meng Jing?”

“She doesn’t come with me. She has gone to Jiangnan City,” Gao Ge answers.

After Xia Lu hears Gao Ge’s answer, her facial expression becomes complicated for the moment.

She looks guilty, sad and also a bit relieved.

Maybe Meng Jing is right. Xia Lu also hasn’t figured out how to face Meng Jing yet.

Shortly, Xia Lu becomes dejected.

“It seems that she doesn’t mean to forgive me…”

Gao Ge looks at Xia Lu and stays quiet for a while. With a grin, he says, “She told me that she had never blamed me or you. It is just that she hasn’t figured out how to face you. Besides, she also said that you didn’t think through how to face her either so she needs some time.”

Hearing that, Xia Lu suddenly raises her head and looks at Gao Ge.

“Did she really say that?”

Gao Ge nods with a smile.

It seems to be what Xia Lu wants to hear too.

“Let’s go back first,” Gao Ge says.

Xia Lu nods and drives the car towards the Dragon Court without saying anything. It remains unknown what she is thinking about.

After arriving at the base of the Dragon Court, Xia Lu says in a low voice, “Lord Heaven Dragon has told me what happened to you in the Ghost Sect after he came back. Lord Dragon King has waited for you for a long time.”

Gao Ge nods and also feels relieved. No wonder Xia Lu didn’t ask anything. It turns out that she has known everything.

When he sees Dragon King, Heaven Dragon is also there.

“Great. Gao Ge is here. Let him tell you then.” Heaven Dragon laughs.

Gao Ge sits down.

He knows what Dragon King is confused about.

“Neither do I know where the immortal skeleton is,” Gao Ge says.

In his heart, Dragon King is absolutely trustable but it doesn’t mean that he has to come clean about all his secrets.

For now, he still can’t let anyone know about his Star Tree.

Heaven Dragon shrugs and sits aside on his own. It seems that he is going to pay no heed to their conversation.

Dragon King heaves a sigh and nods.

“Fine. This is meant to be. Besides, it may not be a bad thing that the immortal skeleton is gone.”

For the Dragon Court, of course they want to find the immortal skeleton and then study it.

Nevertheless, it is not a big deal that they cannot find the immortal skeleton.

Apart from that, the appearance of the immortal skeleton is a great impact on the field of immortal cultivation.

There are so many cultivators but they are not sure about whether immortals exist or not. Nevertheless, the appearance of the immortal skeleton almost proves that immortals do exist in the world!

It must be a piece of breaking news in the field of immortal cultivation.

“Since the immortal skeleton is gone, it should never appear then,” Dragon King says casually.

Gao Ge narrows his eyes as if lost in thought.

He has understood what Dragon King said. That is, Dragon King doesn’t fully believe Gao Ge’s words but it doesn’t matter anymore. Since Gao Ge claims that it is gone, it should be gone then. Even if it is not, it cannot appear again. Otherwise, the Dragon Court and Gao Ge will be targeted by capable cultivators in the field of immortal cultivation.

This is definitely not a good thing.
