"Brat, you actually dare to not wait for me!"

Unable to catch up with the immortal master, Chi Dan turned back dejectedly just in time to see his companion walk far away, spreading his hooves and catching up with him.

"Who didn't wait for you? I still haven't left!"

His senior brother had left, leaving only his senior brother in his eyes and heart. He had indeed forgotten about the little pill.

He knew Little Dan's personality too well. Facing Little Dan's scolding, when Little Dan admitted to her wrongdoings, she would definitely go on and on with him. He had no choice but to deny it.

"Hmph, hurry up and leave!"

His friend hadn't been waiting for him, so why did he have to wait for him? Saying that, he caught up with Huo Luan, who had already walked away. He turned around to remind his friend to leave and hoped to see the immortal master again.

"I know!"

His Senior Martial Brother had disappeared. Not to mention turning back, he would not even be able to see him if he stayed behind. Big Brother Huo Luan had already left. Even without Little Dan's reminder, Tian Ci had already caught up.

"..."

"Ah, time flies!"

"Tian Ci, you've grown up. It's time to find the real you!"

"If you follow me, I can help you find your family, find your name, but I can't help you find your true self. Don't blame me for leaving you, I'm doing it for your own good!"

Huo Luan took her Heaven's Gift and Chi Dan and gradually left the place. There was only a pile of fire left on the ground. This proved that someone had stopped here before.

Suddenly, a figure appeared above the bonfire. This figure was none other than Fu Yun who had left a long time ago. It turned out that he had never left this place.

In order to let Tian Ci and Little Dan leave, he intentionally turned into a gust of cool wind and hid his figure, intending to let everyone misunderstand that he had already left.

When Little Dan went out to look around, she couldn't find him. He and Little Dan prepared to leave, and it was just as he thought.

When he turned around, Little Dan had also turned to look for him. In order to make them give up, Fuyun had hardened his heart and did not reveal himself. He only showed himself after they left.

Ten years with Tian Ci could not be said to be a time of mutual benefit; at the very least, they could be considered to be on the same boat together. Ten years ago, perhaps he still had no ties to her, but now, there was an extra trace of concern and reluctance in his heart.

Looking at his dejected and sorrowful back, Fu Yun's heart was filled with emotion, reluctance, and regret. However, he did not follow, but instead hid himself once again.

If Tian Ci looked back, he would definitely discover that his senior brother had been watching him. In reality, he truly believed that his senior brother had left and never looked back.

When Fuyun hid himself, he took away his food signboard. Without his and Fuyun's food signboard, he would no longer need to attract customers in the future, and he would no longer need to take care of Chi Dan.

From then on, it was very difficult for such a strange combination to appear in a large city or small town again.

"… …"

In order to take care of him, Huo Luan purposely slowed down her footsteps.

It was true that the Heaven's Gift was a mortal, but it was weak and did not touch him. Huo Luan did not need to take care of it. It was not slow at all and was on par with Chi Dan.

In fact, Huo Luan could have released the energy field to bring the Heaven's Gift and Scarlet Cores to the city as soon as possible.

As far as Chi Dan and Tian Ci were concerned, he was just an outsider. In order to prevent them from misunderstanding him, he didn't make any decisions and just followed them without saying a word.

Ten years with your senior brother, ten years of love and memories, when they say they'll be separated, the feeling of being bestowed by the heavens is extremely low. Distractions are secondary, and as you're walking, you're also immersed in the bits and pieces of ten years with your senior brother.

"Hey, brother Huo Luan, where are you going?"

Immortal Master had just left. His companion was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk. Chi Dan could understand, but Huo Luan also didn't say anything, making the whole journey very uncomfortable.

Before the immortal master left, he would always live a carefree and carefree life with the heavens as his blanket, the earth as his bed, and the land as his bed.

However, no matter where the partner went, he would follow the partner. The partner's destination was where he would go.

"Where are you going?"

He was planning to enter the city to find out more about his brother, but he was surprised to find out that Tian Ci could help find him. Thus, he changed his plan and decided to follow Tian Ci to find his brother first.

To be honest, Huo Luan did not know where she was going, so she could only ask Chi Dan.

"I'm asking you!"

Even though he was the first to ask, Huo Luan actually asked about him. Chi Dan rolled his eyes in displeasure.

"I'll go with you guys now!"

If Huo Luan was with us, wouldn't it be for nothing if I kept asking? If I knew earlier, I would have just asked my partner. Why would I bother with Huo Luan and run to my partner's side to ask my partner about it?

"Smelly brat, where are we going?"

Big brother Huo Luan is following me?

Didn't I just follow Huo Luan gege?

His Senior Brother had just left, and he was extremely upset. He only wanted to leave, and his heart was filled with sorrow. Before this, he had been reminiscing every single detail of his time with his Senior Brother, and didn't even have the time to think about where he was going to go.

However, he didn't need to think about where he would go. Before he left, he had already made arrangements for where he would go. He only needed to follow his senior's instructions.

"The Hollow Jade Sect!"

Hollow Jade Sect?

Wasn't it because his partner was going to the Hollow Jade Sect where Su He's little sister was? Wouldn't that mean that he would have to go see Su He's little sister? Otherwise, why would the entire world insist on going to the Hollow Jade Sect?

"Haha, you want to see sister Su He, right?"

Meeting by chance, why would Tian Ci come to see Su He!

Going to the Hollow Jade Sect to become his disciple wasn't something he had decided, but something his senior had arranged beforehand. He had only acted according to his senior brother's wishes. How could he say that he had gone to see Su He's sister?

Besides, big brother Huo Luan was still beside him talking about a girl. Tian Ci felt embarrassed and could only directly deny Little Dan's guess.

"Little Dan, you're not allowed to speak nonsense. Senior Brother told me to go find a master!"

Huo Luan did not care about who Su He was at all. The important thing was to get Heaven's Gift to go to the Hollow Jade Sect.

This year, the Hollow Jade Sect held a disciple recruitment ceremony, allowing Tian Ci to reach the base of the mountain. The immortal master left, indicating that Tian Ci was not lying.

If it were just ordinary mortals, then it would have been almost impossible for them to enter a cultivation sect. Not only was their bodies strong, they also had their own cultivation methods and a red core as a shield.

The disciple recruitment ceremony of the Hollow Jade Sect was approaching and the immortal master was exchanging the heaven's bestowal for a cultivation technique. So all of this was part of the immortal master's scheme.

After thinking through all of this, Huo Luan nodded and muttered to herself.

"So that's how it is. Immortal Master has a good plan!"

Although he understood the sequence of events, in order to avoid causing a misunderstanding between Chi Dan and Tian Ci, he still pretended that he didn't know anything.

"You want to go to the Hollow Jade Sect?"

He didn't even have time to tell Huo Luan's brother about going to the Hollow Jade Sect. It was no wonder that Brother Huo Luan was shocked. Heaven's Gift wasn't sure if Brother Huo Luan would go with him.

After all, going to the Hollow Jade Sect to be his disciple was his business, he couldn't force the other party to go with him.

"Yeah!"

"What's wrong?"

"Brother Huo Luan, aren't you coming with us?"

He had been sent to the Hollow Jade Sect to become its disciple. Was he really going?

If he didn't follow Tian Ci, what if he couldn't find his younger brother? If he really did go to the Hollow Jade Sect, then what kind of status did he have to enter the sect?

"Brother Huo Luan!"

As they travelled, they waited for Brother Huo Luan to recover. Tian Ci did not notice that Huo Luan had already sunk into deep thought and slowed down her pace, leaving Huo Luan far behind.

After waiting for a while and seeing that Huo Luan's brother still hadn't replied, he realized that Huo Luan's brother was no longer by his side. He turned around and saw Huo Luan frowning and lost in thought.

For the sake of Heaven's Gift, the immortal master had calculated things well. Not only did he include the Hollow Jade Sect and Scarlet Pill, but he himself had also become a part of it, losing out on the family's cultivation technique.

Was the immortal master scheming to protect and guide him?

If the immortal master could really help him find his younger brother, that would be great. If the immortal master could only use him to protect his younger brother, it would be a waste of time, and he would come back empty-handed.

Before the immortal master left, he didn't have time to think deeply about it. Now that he thought clearly about it, it was difficult for him to make a choice whether to follow or not.

If he chose to stay by Tian Ci's side, he had to enter the Hollow Jade Sect. He would inevitably run into a lot of trouble.

At twenty years old, his cultivation was on par with the masters of the various peaks of the Hollow Jade Sect. First of all, after he entered the Hollow Jade Sect, he would become an elder and even a disciple.

Although the fiendish blood energy within his body had been suppressed by the immortal master's seal, it was hard to prevent it from leaking. If the fiendish blood energy leaked out, he would definitely suffer a calamity.

Whether he wanted to follow or enter the Hollow Jade Sect, it was really hard for him to make a decision. After hearing the call from the heavens and seeing the Divine Gift turn back, he snapped out of his deep thought.

"Let's enter the city!"

Five miles away from the forest, they could see the city from afar. The speed was not slow at all. They were less than two miles away from the city.

Since the city was right in front of them, they could only enter the city together to find out more about their younger brother. Since there was no news about their younger brother, it was not too late to decide to travel with them.

"Enter the city?"

"Not now!"

"Brother Huo Luan, it's dark. Let's enter the city again!"

If Little Dan hadn't caused a ruckus in the western part of the city, there definitely wouldn't have been any problems entering the city.

By now, everyone in the city knew that Little Dan was the Demon King, and the entrance to the city must have caused panic among the people. Considering the fact that Little Dan was the only one who was allowed to enter the city during the day, of course, God's blessing wouldn't allow him to enter the city during the day.

As the identity of the Scarlet Core Demon King had not been exposed, it was indeed troublesome to enter the city during the day.

However, that was in the past. Ever since the Hollow Jade Sect sent out their message that the Demon King was an important guest of the Hollow Jade Sect, people naturally wouldn't have any big reactions.

Ever since the Scarlet Pill had caused panic in the hearts of the people of Song City, Tian Ci and Chi Dan had never come into contact with anyone else. Naturally, they did not know that the Hollow Jade Temple had resolved this matter.

Although Huo Luan had never seen Chi Dan's ability to stir up trouble before, she had heard of his deeds. Seeing Chi Dan running in front, Huo Luan understood that Tian Ci was overthinking things.

"Don't worry, the matter with the Little Demon King has been resolved by the Hollow Jade Sect."
