Chapter 724 Self-blame and Regret!
"Hoo~!"
Thank you, that arrogant and conceited jerk!
Lin Que closed his eyes briefly, took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm himself down.
Just then, a soft, jade-like hand gently grasped one of his large hands, causing Lin Que to open his eyes in surprise. He then saw Liu Qingyi's beautiful eyes filled with comfort.
Looking into those beautiful eyes, Lin Que immediately returned a reassuring smile.
After all, Liu Qingyi had been to Blue Star and knew what Long Chen's words meant. However, due to the oaths they had made to the Heavenly Dao, she couldn't say it aloud.
After receiving comfort from Liu Qingyi, Lin Que's emotions quickly returned to normal. When he felt Liu Qingyi's hand still holding his, Lin Que's eyes darted around, and he couldn't help but playfully tap her palm lightly, causing Liu Qingyi to immediately withdraw her hand.
Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she glared at Lin Que with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance!
After a short while, everyone finally digested everything that Long Chen had said. Although they were still somewhat shocked, it was much better than before.
"Rou'er..."
At this moment, Ji Qian glanced at Ji Xiaorou, who was still in a daze, with a worried expression, and then asked Long Chen, "Senior, what's wrong with Rou'er's current state...?"
Upon hearing this, Long Chen pondered for a moment before speaking, "I think this is related to the return of the World Spirit to its birthplace, the Origin Realm."
"I just don't know what the will of the Origin Realm is conveying at this moment."
"Maybe it'll be fine in a little while, but it's also possible..."
"But...what could it be!" Upon hearing Long Chen's words, Ji Qian's heart tightened!
“Maybe…” Long Chen paused for a moment, then immediately questioned Ji Qian with a serious expression: “You just said that you brought her out of here, right?”
Upon hearing this, Ji Qian dared not hesitate for a moment and nodded hurriedly like a chicken pecking at rice!
After receiving confirmation, Long Chen frowned and then asked, "After you took her out, did she undergo any particularly noticeable changes?"
"It would be best to explain in detail!"
"Don't miss a single detail!"
Seeing Long Chen's serious expression, Ji Qian also hurriedly began to think...
Seeing this, Lin Que and the others seemed to realize that this matter was not simple, and they all quietly waited for Ji Qian's reply.
A moment later, Ji Qian frowned, his voice muttering to himself, "The special thing is that Rou'er seems to never grow up."
"Furthermore, they are unable to cultivate any immortality techniques, making them no different from ordinary mortals!"
"But their lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people, at least hundreds of years without any change, which initially shocked me greatly!"
"But over time, I got used to it and started to treat her like my own granddaughter."
"what?!"
"Over a hundred years?!"
At this moment, Long Chen suddenly spoke up, interrupting Ji Qian's narration, his expression already darkening!
"Senior... what's wrong?" Seeing Long Chen's expression, Ji Qian was immediately startled, but he quickly seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "Right... right, senior!"
"I remember now!"
"There's another matter, which is that I originally wanted to expand the Chamber of Commerce to other regions."
"Then he took Rou'er towards Cangzhong, but this trip almost caused Rou'er to get into trouble!"
"Just as we were getting closer and closer to Cangzhong, Rou'er, who had always been lively and cheerful, suddenly fell seriously ill for some unknown reason!"
"Moreover, the further we went into Cangzhong, the more serious Rou'er's condition became, which startled even me!"
"However, I have given Rou'er many healing pills and elixirs, but none of them have worked."
"When Rou'er was about to give up, I decisively ended the trip and returned to Hanbei with her."
"But then something miraculous happened. On the way back to Hanbei, Rou'er's condition inexplicably improved, and the farther away from Cangzhong she was, the faster she recovered!"
"Until fully recovered!"
"From that time on, I never left the Hanbei region again for Rou'er's sake."
"I wonder if there's any connection between these?"
"Cangzhong, the territory of the Divine Cult headquarters!" After thinking for a while with his eyes closed, Long Chen opened his eyes and looked at Ji Qian with a hint of anger, as if he had some displeasure in his heart, but since things had come to this point, he could not blame him.
"never mind!"
"It's good that you're decisive!"
"You almost plunged the entire Wind Spirit Realm into utter ruin!"
"At that time, even if the Fengtian Continent has an ancient seal, it will probably still face a catastrophe!"
"However, in the past hundred years, you haven't allowed the World Spirit to return to the Origin Realm even once. Perhaps the will of the Origin Realm will be affected by your interference, leading to some irreversible events!"
Seeing how serious Long Chen was, Ji Qian seemed to realize that he had made a mistake, and his face showed embarrassment and regret.
Immediately, Ji Qian anxiously asked, "Then... then senior, what should we do now?"
"Sigh~! I don't know either." Long Chen sighed and said, "At the very least, we can't know what the will of the Origin Realm is thinking right now. We can only let the Realm Spirit awaken in the Origin Realm on its own."
"After all, it's been over a hundred years, and the World Spirit needs to return to the Origin Realm to recuperate for a while."
"However, the awakened World Spirit might transform into other beings at that time."
At this point, Long Chen glanced at Ji Xiaorou, who was still in a daze, and then continued, "It must have been your experience of bringing her close to Cangzhong that made the people of the Divine Sect, um... or maybe the extraterrestrial demons, aware of something."
"That's why they sent people to the Cold North region to search for the Origin Realm."
"Alright, you can all go now. Let the Spirit Realm rest and recuperate in this shallow ocean of spiritual energy for a while."
After saying that, Long Chen transformed into a beam of azure light and returned to Lin Que's body.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
"Oh~!"
"It's all my fault! It's all my fault!"
After Long Chen's words fell and disappeared, Ji Qian felt endless regret and slapped himself repeatedly with his withered hands, leaving Lin Que and the others looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Um... well, Manager Ji." Seeing that Ji Qian was still slapping himself and blaming himself, Lin Que couldn't help but say, "Anyway, it's too late for you to blame yourself now."
"At least things haven't gotten that serious yet, so let's listen to Long Chen and leave here for now."
"Let Ji Xiaorou rest for a while."
Let's go find what we need first.
"If we stay here, we might even hinder Ji Xiaorou's recovery."
Upon hearing this, Ji Qian paused, his withered hand that had been slapping himself, and then hurriedly said, "Yes! Yes! Young friend Lin... you're right!"
"Let's leave first!"
"Leave first!"
"Let Rou'er rest and recuperate!"
After Ji Qian finished speaking, Lin Que and the others nodded to each other and headed towards an unknown area not far away, leaving Ji Xiaorou alone in the shallow ocean formed by the gathering of spiritual energy.
Of the four, Ji Qian kept turning back, his cloudy eyes filled with Ji Xiaorou's image, his self-blame and regret lingering for a long time...
