Chapter 33 : Good Sister, You’re Finally Back!

“Third Elder, you wanted to see me?” Jiang Chen entered the grand hall calmly, his gaze landing on the Third Elder not far away.

“Is it true that you have taken Yan Ruyu as your follower?” The Third Elder turned to Jiang Chen and asked.

The Third Elder appeared young, with a slender physique, skin as white and lustrous as jade, untouched by the ravages of time. Dressed in a white Taoist robe, he exuded an air of purity and otherworldliness. His white hair and eyes that seemed to have seen through the mortal world belied his age.

“Yes,” Jiang Chen replied, smiling. “I found Yan Ruyu’s talents promising, so I took her in. Besides, you’ve been urging me to take followers, so this should ease your concerns.”

Normally, renowned geniuses would have countless followers. Even those with fewer still had some. Jiang Chen, however, had none. His predecessor preferred solitude and wasn’t keen on having followers. It wasn’t that no one wanted to follow Jiang Chen; he simply didn’t want any. If he did, countless people would flock to him, considering his status as the Primordial Holy Son.

Sighing, Jiang Chen said, “People say time breeds affection, but despite my wholehearted devotion to Ye Qingcheng for so long, she only grew to dislike me more. I don’t know why, so it’s better to give up. Sometimes making a choice is a good thing; it frees both me and her. And sometimes, choosing is more important than persisting.”

“I understand,” the Third Elder empathized, then shifted the topic. “What you did in Spirit Snake City was excellent. You not only upheld our reputation but also acquired four flawless saint weapons, bringing significant benefits to our holy land. However, your actions have also made you a target in the Nine Heavens. Be careful.”

Jiang Chen acknowledged this. “I’m aware. As the Primordial Holy Son, I’d be targeted by various forces even if I did nothing. Rather than that, I prefer to make a bold entrance.”

“Still, try to be more cautious,” the Third Elder advised. “You carry not only your own burdens but also the hopes of the Primordial Holy Land.”

“Don’t worry,” Jiang Chen assured. “Our Holy Land will shine again, and we’ll return to our former peak. That’s my promise.”

Meanwhile, Ye Qingcheng, freshly returned, saw Yan Ruyu at her door, looking proud and smiling. “Good sister, you’re finally back! I’ve been waiting for you!”

Ye Qingcheng, agitated, dismissed her harshly, “I don’t want to see you, get out!” She could face anyone but Yan Ruyu.
