Chapter 197: Chapter 197: No Time to Waste

Actually, He Song had known about Ping’er’s impending Foundation Establishment as soon as he returned to the Thick Earth Sect.

The reason Master Qingyue sent He Song back to the sect.

One of the reasons was also to provide Ping’er with resources for Foundation Establishment.

However, in the ten years since returning to the Thick Earth Sect, He Song completely forgot about Ping’er’s upcoming Foundation Establishment, only focusing on increasing his own strength.

Unexpectedly, when his ten-year term at the sect was coming to an end and he was about to be reassigned elsewhere, Ping’er learned the news and wanted to see him before leaving.

Looking at the beautiful handwriting on the paper, He Song hesitated for a moment and soon decided to accept the invitation.

Now.

After the Foundation Establishment, the ten-year period for quickly increasing combat power has expired.

The order for his reassignment could arrive any day.

It would not hurt to meet with Ping’er before leaving the sect.

After all, if the reassignment order really comes, the chances of He Song and Ping’er seeing each other would be greatly reduced.

After all, Ping’er could be considered a friend He Song met a long time ago.

Now that she had invited him, it would be difficult for He Song to refuse.

With a casual gesture, He Song took out a piece of thin paper and mana surged from the tips of his fingers, instantly carving out lines of text on the paper.

“Congratulations to Junior Sister Ping’er on successfully reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, and may your Immortal Path be unhindered from now on.’

“I have now left seclusion, and Ping’er dao friend is welcome to come to my cave mansion for a chat.”

“He Song.”

He put the paper into the Sound Transmission Amulet, and with a surge of mana, the paper inside the amulet disappeared immediately.

Seeing this,

He Song casually hung the Sound Transmission Amulet around his waist.

But soon after, He Song’s figure appeared in the tea room of his cave mansion.

As He Song continued his actions,

Wisps of tea fragrance soon filled the cave mansion.

Under swirls of tea aroma, He Song’s entire cave mansion was enveloped in a refreshing tea scent.

Since Ping’er was already in the Thick Earth Sect,

He Song informed her of the location of his cave mansion when he sent the message.

As a result, He Song didn’t have to wait long.

Only a moment later,

He Song saw tunneling light descending from the sky and landing outside his cave mansion.

He casually opened a passage in the Purple Cloud Heavenly Array and welcomed Ping’er into his cave mansion.

The two sat down in the tea room, one as host and the other as guest.

“Congratulations to Junior Sister for successfully reaching Foundation

Establishment, may your Immortal Path be unhindered from now on.”

Upon meeting, He Song’s first words to Ping’er were still words of congratulations.

Although he had already congratulated her in the previous message, when he saw her face to face, He Song added another line of congratulations.

After all, more than nine years ago, He Song had already known that Ping’er was about to establish her foundation.

But after nine years, He Song had been immersed in his seclusive cultivation and had completely forgotten about Ping’er’s Foundation Establishment.

It was only when Pinger informed him that she was approaching the ten-year mark that he learned of the matter.

Otherwise,

It might take He Song even longer to remember Ping’er’s Foundation Establishment.

In order to cover up the slight embarrassment in his heart, He Song didn’t use his usual greetings when he spoke.

“Thank you, Senior Brother, but this time, besides seeing Senior Brother, Ping’er also has a troubling matter.”

With her eyes shifting, Pinger looked at He Song, taking a sip of tea.

Her vision brightened immediately, and she took another sip of tea.

But then, her face showed a trace of worry.

Seeing this,

He Song’s mind suddenly flashed with a hint of caution.

What troubles are bothering her?

Ping’er has already reached Foundation Establishment now.

He himself was just establishing Foundation as well.

Both at Foundation Establishment stage,

If it’s something Ping’er cannot handle,

Could he handle it?

With a bad feeling in his heart, He Song intended to directly refuse after thinking it over.

Otherwise, when Ping’er asked him later, and he refused, it would make him appear too reluctant to help.

However,

Before he could even speak,

Ping’er, with a worried expression on her face, spoke in a low voice,

“Ah, more than a decade ago, Shuangshuang Senior Sister failed to establish her foundation, and after recovering from her injuries, she went to the Mountain Immortal City.”

“Master has been worried about her over the years, but he knows Shuangshuang Senior Sister’s character. If he takes her back forcibly, she may leave again.”

“Master is well aware that this matter can’t be forced, so he entrusted it to me.”

As her gaze met He Song’s, Pinger’s eyes flashed with an indescribable expression.

“Before Senior Sister Shuangshuang left, she wanted to see you, but you failed to establish your foundation and were in the process of healing, so she never saw you.”

“I wonder if Ping’er can ask Senior Brother for help to meet Shuangshuang

Senior Sister together. If we can persuade her to return…”

“Ping’er will never forget Senior Brother’s great kindness.”

As Ping’er’s words continued, He Song’s plan to interrupt and directly refuse also quickly dissipated.

This matter.

There was no danger involved.

He didn’t need to refuse outright.

After all, he had once promised Chu Shuangshuang that once he left seclusion, whether or not he had established his foundation, he would visit her personally.

Now that he had successfully achieved the Foundation Establishment Realm and had the strength to do so, it was time to fulfill that promise.

Besides, apart from promising Chu Shuangshuang,

He Song had also promised Master Qingyue while returning to the Thick Earth Sect that if he saw Chu Shuangshuang, he would definitely help to persuade her.

Although he didn’t promise to persuade her to return,

The task of persuasion was still necessary.”

Besides these reasons.

With Ping’er asking for his help right now, He Song felt it would be better to agree to it.

Anyway, the worst-case scenario would be that his persuasion failed, and he wouldn’t have any losses.

He could also complete the two tasks he had previously agreed to do.

With that said, agreeing to it was not a problem.

After some thought.

He Song nodded his head.

“Little sister Ping’er, it’s not a big deal. I’ve already agreed to help Master

Qingya Yue and Shuangshuang.”

“Even if you didn’t ask, I would still go to where Shuangshuang is.”

“Now that you’ve asked, I naturally cannot refuse to help.”

As there was no danger, no other involvement, and no worries, He Song agreed without any pressure, as he had already promised.

He is now a Foundation Establishment Master.

Together with Ping’er, another Foundation Establishment Master,

going to the Mountain Immortal City together would mean two Foundation Establishment Masters would arrive.

With such a lineup, there shouldn’t be any danger within the Thick Earth Sect’s sphere of influence. On the side,

Seeing He Song agreed,

Pinger’s face showed a hint of joy.

Her crescent-shaped eyes were now fixed on He Song. “Thank you, big brother.”

“There’s no time to lose, shall we set off immediately?”

“It’s been a long time since I last saw sister Shuangshuang, I miss her.”

Facing Ping’er’s invitation,

He Song pondered and found that there was nothing he had to do within the Thick Earth Sect.

Naturally, he nodded.

At the same time, his divine sense surged out, storing all the things he needed to bring with him from his cave mansion into his storage bags.

Then, he left the cave mansion with Pinger.

After exchanging a glance,

they turned into escape lights and soared up into the sky, heading straight towards the direction of the Mountain Immortal City.

In the sky,

He Song’s aqua blue escape light was flying side by side with Ping’er’s golden escape light.

Under the background of the azure sky, He Song’s aqua blue escape light appeared barely visible. If one did not look closely, they might not even notice its existence.

Meanwhile, Ping’er’s golden escape light in the sky was very eye-catching.

As they flew, they attracted the envious gazes of countless mortal and cultivator.

“Big brother, is your most suitable attribute of your Spirit Root water? Why does the color of your escape light look similar to the sky?”

Glancing at He Song’s escape light,

Then looked up at the color of the sky.

After hesitating for a long time, Ping’er carefully asked him a question.

In the Cultivation World,

Generally speaking, asking someone else’s Spirit Root attribute before having a good relationship may arouse their vigilance.

After all, once an enemy knows one’s Spirit Root attribute, they might make use of it and attack them specifically.

But, between close friends, asking about someone’s Spirit Root attribute isn’t a big deal.

As long as the relationship is good, things like Spirit Root attributes could be discussed.

Ping’er carefully asked, feeling somewhat nervous.

Although she had known He Song for decades, she still couldn’t be sure about their relationship.

They were definitely friends, but whether they were close friends… she wasn’t sure.

After all, who would forget that their good friend had reached the Foundation Establishment stage?

In the nine years after she reached the Foundation Establishment stage, it was almost like He Song had forgotten about her, not even remembering that she had reached the Foundation Establishment stage so long ago.

So when she asked, she was a little nervous, afraid she might arouse He Song’s vigilance.

“Water attribute?”

“Not really, I just use the water escape light because it’s not eye-catching.”

“When going out, safety is the most important thing. The aqua blue escape light blends in with the sky, so it’s hard to notice if you don’t look closely.”

“So, it’s the safest.”

Facing Ping’er’s question, He Song didn’t answer directly but instead concealed his Spirit Root attribute and specifically explained the origin of his aqua blue escape light.S℮arch ɳewɳƟѵel. Ɵrg on gƟƟgl℮

As for his Spirit Root attribute, he didn’t mention a word.

However,

After hearing He Song’s explanation, a look of sudden realization crossed Ping’er’s face, and she put the issue aside.

After the realization, Pinger looked at He Song’s aqua blue escape light, then looked at the color of the sky, and then looked at her dazzling golden escape light behind her, finally, she looked down at the ground.

When she saw that people on the ground were constantly looking up and worshiping her golden escape light, her eyes gradually flashed with a hint of unease.

For a moment, the color of Ping’er’s escape light kept changing in the sky.

From gold to green, then from green to red, and from red to yellowish-brown.

Finally,

Under Ping’er’s control, the color of her escape light changed to the same aqua blue as He Song’s.

Only when her escape light also became as inconspicuous as He Song’s, blending in with the sky color, did Ping’er relax and take a long breath..
