Chapter 268: Please wait here for a moment, I...
After transmigrating to this world, Gu Heng was able to accept everything, no matter what strange things happened.
Including "accidental".
Gu Heng believed in chance, but not in the kind of overly clever chance.
Meeting Jiang Lingyun was the kind of "too cleverly coincidental" thing he absolutely refused to believe.
What difference does it make whether you believe it or not?
Since the objective of this side quest has been delivered to him, why would Gu Heng refuse?
Deep down, he felt that someone was manipulating his thoughts. If this was a trap, Gu Heng would still jump in! The reason was simply because the system was now acting strangely.
It allows him to sense the power of a cultivator.
He was no longer as disheartened as before, thinking that he would just live as an ordinary person for the rest of his life. After experiencing this power, Gu Heng was determined to find a way to cultivate.
Even if it means completing various demanding tasks assigned by the system.
He has patience and time.
"Young Master Gu, since you already know..."
Jiang Lingyun asked tentatively.
Gu Heng nodded and said, "Sect Leader Jiang, please speak freely. I will help if I can."
She wanted me to help her find her close friend, which was easy to do.
But why did Jiang Lingyun approach him? Gu Heng figured it was probably because she had seen him possess cultivation, specifically the Saintly Realm cultivation, back at Yanjiang Pavilion. Although Gu Heng no longer possessed it.
When the 15-minute time limit expired, he became a mortal again.
However, Gu Heng's original intention was simply to take advantage of the situation to put pressure on Elder Xiao Tang; he never even considered Jiang Lingyun's involvement.
It's best not to let him use any more "experience vouchers".
This thing is very precious.
"Since that's the case, then things will be much easier. Young Master Gu saved my Grand Elder, so please return him to me. Of course, I will also repay your life-saving grace to him!"
Jiang Lingyun said in a deep voice.
"Elder...who is your Elder?"
Gu Heng was a little confused by her words. He thought she was asking him to find someone, but she was asking him to ask for someone back.
I don't think I've ever had any interaction with the Grand Elder of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect.
“Your cat just said that you once saved a soul named Jian Xuan, who is my Grand Elder.”
Jiang Lingyun explained.
That said.
Gu Heng felt as if he had been enlightened.
Jian Xuan?
That guy who called himself "Master Purple Sword" when we first met, even though he's now a ghost, he still speaks with a very loud tone!
Damn, so he wasn't exaggerating after all.
The Grand Elder of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect!
Putting everything else aside, to be able to sit in this position, one must be a very powerful cultivator.
But how did he end up dying in the wilderness?
strangeness.
"So it was him, haha, I find it quite strange. He's practically a wandering ghost, yet he still speaks with such arrogance!" Gu Heng said, unable to suppress a laugh. Then, he raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Lingyun with a half-smile.
Jiang Lingyun looked embarrassed.
Yes, that's right, it's definitely Jian Xuan.
"This is just too much of a coincidence... Oh well, since he's yours, I'll return him to you."
Gu Heng muttered to himself, his mind a complete mess. The "Purple Sword Immortal" he had accidentally picked up in the desolate mountains was actually the "Sect Master's close friend" mentioned in the mission? This was too much...
That's an outrageous coincidence!
But he really didn't need to worry about that; it was just a task.
Anyway, Jian Xuan has been staying at his clinic for several months now. As for whether he's useful, a mere ghost doesn't seem to be of much use except for scaring people. He used to be very powerful, but now he's all dead except for his Dao soul.
But it wouldn't be right to say he's useless, since Jian Xuan can indeed be frightening. Besides, Jian Xuan doesn't need to eat him; he's just a soul. He lives quietly inside that broken lamp every day and never complains about his surroundings.
Perhaps this is the arrogance of the strong.
"If that's the case, that would be wonderful!"
Jiang Lingyun was overjoyed when she heard Gu Heng say this.
"Sect Leader Jiang, please wait a moment, I'll be right back."
Gu Heng never procrastinates. He immediately got up and, under Jiang Lingyun's somewhat puzzled gaze, dashed out of the teahouse, ignoring Qin Yiyao who was squatting by the roadside, petting a cat.
He quickly found an alleyway, and then...
Teleport!
Gu Heng doesn't want others to know about this "teleportation" right now, because it's a bit too special.
As the thousand points disappeared, Gu Heng's vision changed instantly. The large signboard of Gu's Medical Clinic was right in front of him.
The signboard was covered with fine dust. It had only been a few days since the museum closed, but the front yard was already covered with petals and leaves.
There was a tree in the yard, of unknown species. Gu Heng had considered cutting it down, but gave up at the little girl's request.
He quickly went to the front hall, took out the "Primordial Soul Lamp" that had been gathering dust in the corner, and shook it.
"Are you there?"
Then I saw the soul lamp light up.
A white ball of light floated in the lamp.
"Huh? Didn't you say you were going to the capital? Why are you back?"
Jian Xuan asked in surprise.
"Stop talking, your old flame has arrived."
Gu Heng rolled his eyes.
