Chapter 397 [Of Great Importance]

"So tell me, what do you want me to do for you?" Gu Qingyi’s tone seemed calm as she spoke, but her eyes deliberately avoided Chen Yan’s gaze, unwilling to meet his eyes.

Chen Yan appeared oblivious to Gu Qingyi’s unusual behavior, pondering for a moment before saying seriously, "You... will return, right? When will you be back?"

Gu Qingyi thought for a moment, "After I return, I need to go back to Snow Cliff Pass and handle the military supply matters. Then... I plan to step down from the position of Town General."

Step down?

Chen Yan was taken aback, frowning, "You’ve done well as a Town General at Snow Cliff Pass, why step down now? Didn’t you just achieve outstanding merits?"

"There are other arrangements in my family, besides, Snow Cliff Pass, after all, is a second-tier pass town, and I don’t want to stay here forever."

She didn’t want to tell Chen Yan about the messy affairs of the Domain Immortal Platform, as it would only make him concerned without any benefit.

Chen Yan misunderstood, thinking of another possibility: "Family arrangements... well, that’s right. After the great battle at Snow Cliff Pass, the Fierce Beast Race won’t have the ability to attack for at least decades. They’ve even retreated from the snowfield, and a large area of Evil Spirit Forest Sea has been burned, forcing them to shrink back to Evil Land Mountain.

In the coming decades, there won’t be any major battles. As a successor being nurtured by your family, staying at Snow Cliff Pass won’t bring any significant achievements anymore. Moving to another place to continue establishing merits and making contributions is likely how your Gu Family is planning it."

"...Hmm." Gu Qingyi nodded ambiguously and replied, "In short, after stepping down, I should be living in retirement for a while. Originally, I planned to go back to family to accompany them, then retreat at home for cultivation.

But if you need me to do something for you, I can."

As she spoke, she thought for a moment, calculating in her mind: "It would take two to three months to handle the military supply matters at Snow Cliff Pass and follow the procedure of stepping down through the Xiantai Battle Department."

"There’s no need to rush," Chen Yan weighed the situation in his heart, his face becoming serious, "The matter I need your help with is very secretive, so you must keep it confidential, not telling anyone.

Even within your family, you must not leak a single word to your relatives or elders.

Furthermore... I’ll be honest with you, I think this matter shouldn’t pose a large risk, but it is quite significant, and I cannot guarantee the absence of any trouble."

Gu Qingyi’s curiosity was piqued, and she looked at Chen Yan with seriousness and concern, "Chen Yan! Even if we aren’t really mother and son, at least we’re family and friends!

You need help with something in the Domain Realm, and there’s no one else but me to assist you, so don’t have any concerns, just tell me."

She paused, fearing Chen Yan’s unease, and pretended to smile lightly, "After all, I’m at the Celestial Human Realm, renowned throughout the Domain Realm. My Gu Family isn’t easily messed with, and we have a Saint supporting us as our backup, so there’s nothing to fear."

Finally, Chen Yan sighed, "Alright, I really can’t find anyone else to help me. Then I’ll rely on you."

As he spoke, he stared at Gu Qingyi intently, "I need you to make a trip to the Celestial Demon Yin Yang Joyful Sect for me."

Knowing Chen Yan’s identity as a disciple in the Joyful Sect, Gu Qingyi wasn’t too surprised upon hearing this, only curious, "In the Joyful Sect? Do you have something left there?"

"Hmm..." Chen Yan shook his head, "It’s not about leaving something behind, but rather asking you to meet an entity."

Not meeting a person, but an "entity"?

Gu Qingyi immediately became serious, Chen Yan’s words caused her to instantly feel a sense of solemnity.

Chen Yan picked up a pair of chopsticks, dipped them in soup, and lightly drew a few strokes on the table.

Gu Qingyi looked over and saw that what Chen Yan had sketched on the table was clearly a very simple... location map?

Although very simplified, it was clear in terms of the buildings, layout, and orientation.

"This is the map of the Outer Sect of the Joyful Sect, not the Inner Sect; it’s on land, in the mountains.

With your status, it should be simple to find an excuse to visit the Outer Sect of the Joyful Sect. It shouldn’t be difficult for you.

Look at the map I drew, this location..."

As he spoke, Chen Yan pointed with his chopsticks, "This building is the Outer Sect’s library, open to Outer Disciples, containing various texts about Cultivation Techniques and Spells that Outer Disciples might practice.

Approximately two hundred meters south of the library is an open courtyard with a pool and flower garden.

Inside, there are some ’Beautiful Glow’ flowers."

Beautiful Glow?

Gu Qingyi wasn’t particularly surprised upon hearing this. Although Beautiful Glow is rare, the Joyful Sect is a Saint Sect, so having a pond of Beautiful Glow flowers isn’t considered strange.

"This matter is confidential... because when I was in the Joyful Sect, I discovered that even many of the Outer Disciples and Elders were unaware of the truth. Most just thought the Beautiful Glow here was of ordinary quality, yet to develop Spirit Communication, and hadn’t yet taken shape, merely being nurtured as an exotic species.

However, the pond in reality conceals a Great Demon of Beautiful Glow!

Hmm, perhaps ’Great Demon’ alone isn’t sufficient to describe her; I surmise she’s at least a top-tier Flower Demon."
