Chapter 488: Li Qinghong of Qingdu (I)
"Qinghong will succeed soon?"
Li Yuanjiao felt a surge of quiet delight upon hearing this though he maintained a composed exterior, merely nodding as he said softly, "Master Monk, please return with me."
While Kongheng was quite talkative in front of Li Wushao, he only nodded in Li Yuanjiao's presence, rising to join him. Together, they ascended into the air, riding the wind back along the path Li Yuanjiao had come.
The journey was silent. Kongheng, surrounded by a golden glow, held his monk staff which emitted a mana light, giving him an ethereal appearance.
Li Yuanjiao shot him a glance and inquired, "Now that you've made a breakthrough, what are your future plans?"
Kongheng lowered his head slightly and replied, "If your esteemed family has any requests, I will do my utmost to fulfill them. Otherwise, I will continue cultivating peacefully at Moongaze Lake."
Upon reaching the peak, Kongheng excused himself and settled down to meditate, while Li Yuanjiao stood contemplatively in the forest instead of resuming his cultivation in seclusion.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, an urgent call came from outside the formation—it was Kongheng's voice ringing with eagerness.
"I wish to see Benefactor Yuanjiao! Please open the formation!"
