Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 793 Think for the People Around Him

Xie Zhuolian feels that Gao Ge loves Meng Jing so much for some reason.

After all, this is a girl who trusts him unconditionally.

For any man, having a girl who trusts him unconditionally must be a very happy thing.

When they return to the yard, everyone sits together and starts to chat while Fire Dragon leaves in a hurry. After all, Meng Jing is right. They also need to act faster.

No one knows what will happen next. As such, they need to act faster in case of any unexpected trouble.

So many people of the Dragon Court have spent such a long time trying to exterminate the Ghost Sect. Apart from Wei Ming, a lot of members of the Dragon Court have died for this cause. Therefore, they must seize the time to avoid any slips. After all, they cannot let their peers like Wei Ming sacrifice in vain.

They can never allow such a thing to happen regardless.

“Rest assured. Gao Ge will be back soon. He will be fine,” Xie Zhuolian looks at Meng Jing fidgeting there and then says with a smile, which is sort of comfort to Meng Jing.

Meng Jing takes a look at her and shakes her head with a bitter smile.

“That’s not what I’m worried about.”

“Oh?” Xie Zhuolian appears somewhat worried, “So, it must be about the Ghost Sect? Don’t worry. Lord Fire Dragon, Lord Heaven Dragon and the others are quite reliable.”

Meng Jing still shakes her head.

Xie Zhuolian feels a bit confused then.

After thinking for a while, she takes a tumble and says with delight, “Oh I see. You must have very conflicting feelings now. You haven’t seen Gao Ge for such a long time. Currently, you must want to see him so badly but you don’t know what to say to him when you actually meet with him. After all, while you were out of contact, Gao Ge has made lots of effort to look for you. He even quit the Dragon Court in a fit of pique for you. Therefore, you are rather guilty, aren’t you?”

Xie Zhuolian is a girl too.

Therefore, she has guessed Meng Jing’s true feelings quickly.

After hearing what Xie Zhuolian said, Meng Jing can only nod bitterly.

“Actually, you don’t have to worry about it. I don’t know much about Gao Ge but I can feel that he cares about you very much. Besides, he is a thoughtful man. No matter what he says or what he does, he will care about others’ feelings. Of course, he only cares about those who are close to him. As to his enemies or irrelevant people, he doesn’t care at all. He just disses them as he likes.” Xie Zhuolian probably thinks of the way how Gao Ge often talks with Heaven Dragon, Fire Dragon and others so she can’t help laughing.

Meng Jing crosses her hands and rubs them against each other. Her tension is still not relieved.

Suddenly, she changes the topic.

“Didn’t Xia Lu come along this time?”

“No, she is still in the capital. This matter needs to be kept confidential. Besides, it is very dangerous,” Xie Zhuolian says.

Meng Jing is slightly dazed and can’t help staring at Xie Zhuolian in confusion.

Xie Zhuolian seems to see through Meng Jing’s thoughts and then says, “As one of the Xie Family, I’m good at pharmacology. I came here incidentally. Lord Heaven Dragon asks Gao Ge to take the Drunken Fairy Powder...”

Xie Zhuolian tells her about the ins and outs of the matter.

After hearing her out, Meng Jing also breathes a sigh of relief.

“Are you worried that something may be going on between me and Gao Ge?” Xie Zhuolian says with a grin.

Meng Jing flushes and hastens to shake her head, “No. You are so pretty. You cannot fall for him.”

Xie Zhuolian doesn’t respond to that but heaves a sigh.

“It seems that you haven’t figured out how to accept Xia Lu.”

Meng Jing doesn’t answer.

Actually, these days, she has mulled it over while she was in the Ghost Sect.

However, she cannot figure out the answer anyway. Afterward, she just puts it aside.

After all, the matter of the Ghost Sect was more important so she focused more on it. However, now that her mission has been basically completed and what is to be done next actually has nothing to do with her, she naturally starts to think of it again.

“As a matter of fact, I think Xia Lu doesn’t demand coming here probably because she has the same worry as you do,” Xie Zhuolian says.

As an outsider, she also feels it is such a mess.

Luckily, she is an outsider. If she is involved, maybe she cannot fall asleep at night.

Having thought back and forth, she still asks the question she has been wanting to ask.

“I have been curious about you before I met you. Now that we’ve finally met, I really want to ask you a question. Since you are not ready, why did you ask a man in Ice City to call Gao Ge?” Xie Zhuolian hedges and then adds, “That call was arranged by you, right?”

Meng Jing nods.

“You mentioned that Gao Ge cared about the feelings of the people close to him. Shouldn’t I be such a person?” Meng Jing grins and says.

Xie Zhuolian thinks about it and doesn’t continue asking.

It is not that she is satisfied with Meng Jing’s answer but that she feels that she cannot get any practical answer from Meng Jing if she continues asking. Worse still, Meng Jing may feel more worried only.

After all, Meng Jing herself hasn’t thought it through by now yet.

...

Having gone through the long tunnel, Gao Ge takes a look at his watch. It has been half an hour. They are all cultivators so they walk quite fast. Evidently, the tunnel is really long.

“It is difficult to imagine why Wanyan Sheng spent so much time and human resources in building such a tomb under the sea a few hundred years ago,” Earth Dragon says, “If he didn’t... Forget it. It was actually good that he did.”

“Actually, I think it is quite normal,” Gao Ge says with a smile, “That is what an emperor was. As an emperor, he was surely unreconciled to dying. Of course he must want to continue instigating incidents and making trouble after he died. Maybe he couldn’t rule the world but being a domineering ghost must be quite awesome.”

Earth Dragon shrugs and says nothing because he has thought it over. If he were an emperor, he would probably spend plenty of time and effort arranging these post-death things.

After going through the tunnel, they feel that everything is bright and open.

Before them is a vast expanse of space.

“Um?” Wen Yihuan suddenly stares in front and points his fingers, saying, “Gao Ge, look! There is a row of coffins, isn’t there?”

“Are you dim-sighted? Can’t you see that?” Gao Ge roasts. After taking a look in the direction where Wen Yihuan points, he also knits his eyebrows, “I guess.”

He doesn’t dare to be sure about it.

It is not because the coffins look so peculiar but the coffins are inserted into the earth vertically. Half of them are buried in the earth, which looks really weird.
