Chapter 785: Visiting Yunjin Mountain Again
Qi Xuansu’s last visit to Yunjin Mountain was a long trek on foot with Zhang Yuelu. The journey was riddled with twists and turns. Once they finally arrived at Yunjin Mountain, Qi Xuansu could only wait outside the Dazhen Mansion, as he was not qualified to cross the threshold. The antics of Tantai Qiong and Zhang Yuyue only made matters worse. On their return trip to Jade Capital, trouble struck again, forcing him into that infamous leap from the flying ship—an event that had now become a popular talking point.
This time was different. They rode the Heavenly Preceptor’s flying ship to Yunjin Mountain, which was capable of traveling 5,000 kilometers in a day. The journey was smooth and uneventful, without any obstructions. They were spared the hardship of traveling on foot, and Qi Xuansu even had the luxury of stepping onto the deck to admire the night scenery.
The Heavenly Preceptor’s flying ship was not like the ordinary passenger ships. Regular flying ships prohibited movement to the deck once airborne. But this flying ship was equipped with a formation that shielded the entire craft, allowing even those without a Heavenly Being’s cultivation to step outside freely.
After leaving the Heavenly Preceptor’s study, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu made their way to the deck.
By then, it was late at night. Overhead, the starry sky and bright moon seemed so close, as if they were within reach.
The two stood by the railing, gazing into the distance.
“The Heavenly Preceptor said the hearth lacked a fresh log. Wasn’t he implying that we’re that log?” Qi Xuansu asked.
Zhang Yuelu glanced at him, neither confirming nor denying it.
Qi Xuansu pressed on. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“I don’t feel like talking,” Zhang Yuelu replied, seemingly lost in thought since earlier.
Qi Xuansu gasped. “Don’t tell me you’re having second thoughts now that we’re crossing that bridge!”
