Upon the white dragon maiden suggesting heading north, Lu Heng shook his head in disagreement.

“Go north? Weren’t you always eager to visit the Heavenly Court?” Lu Heng questioned, “Now that I know you, Martial Sister Xiao Ai, are the creator of the Heavenly Court, and some kind of supreme god, shouldn’t you be more anxious to get close to it? Why are you thinking about going to the Northern Territory again?”

Lu Heng’s inquiry made the girl smile awkwardly and she said, “I am just concerned about Senior Brother Sun Yan… He couldn’t have descended into darkness without any reason. Maybe he has suffered some grievances. We must uncover the truth and never wrongly accuse Senior Brother Sun Yan.”

The girl was filled with righteous indignation and showed boundless concern for Sun Yan’s situation.

Lu Heng shook his head and said, “Are you frightened upon hearing that Xiao Ai single-handedly established the Heavenly Court and holds the title of a supreme god? Worried that her high status might make it difficult to get along with her, Martial Sister Xiao Ai?”

The girl stuck out her tongue and said, “Just a little… but it is mostly caring for Senior Brother Sun Yan! As our Hanyu Mountain sect, we should love and support each other. That’s what you, Master, have taught us. So, compared to exploring the Heavenly Court, Senior Brother Sun Yan’s situation is the most crucial.”

The white-haired young girl spoke sternly with lofty words, disguising her own timidity to meet Martial Sister Xiao Ai.

Lu Heng stood in the void, looking down at the chaotic crowds below and the arrival of wizards in the city. He sighed and said, “Your concern may not be necessary for Senior Brother Sun Yan… Since he has already succumbed to darkness, unless it was sanctioned by Xiao Ai, from the moment he fell into darkness, he has already severed ties with Xiao Ai.”

“Given Xiao Ai’s character, it is impossible for her to simply watch as disciples of Hanyu Mountain fall into darkness and openly roam the world, let alone create such a grand reputation as the Demon King.”

“She must have attempted to kill the corrupted Sun Yan, but definitely failed. Meanwhile, Xiao Ai possesses the Heavenly Thunder Sword…”

Lu Heng helplessly spread his hands and said, “The fact that Sun Yan, whom even the Heavenly Thunder Sword couldn’t eliminate, is no longer the foolish monkey that I remember from the past. If this monkey has truly fallen into darkness and managed to create such a massive reputation right under Xiao Ai’s watchful eye, it can only indicate one thing.”

“That simply means Sun Yan, this monkey, has now become incredibly powerful.”

“Even if I were to personally intervene, it might not necessarily be effective.”

Lu Heng sighed and said, “Therefore, there is no need for you to worry about Sun Yan. Even if he has truly succumbed to darkness, if Xiao Ai cannot deal with him, I’m afraid I won’t be able to either.”

In the void, after listening to Lu Heng’s words, the young white dragon girl snorted and said, “Master, you haven’t even started cleaning up the sect, and you already plan to go easy… Others may not know how powerful you are, but as your disciple, I know it all too well. The palm technique you created is formidable, and it seems to have a special advantage against cultivators of the ‘Tao Scripture’… Hehe… I hope Senior Brother Sun Yan hasn’t truly fallen into darkness. If he had, I’m afraid a mere strike from you, Master, would be enough to annihilate him.”

Lu Heng was greatly astonished by the words of the young white dragon girl.

“How… How did you know?”

During the long flight in the Starry Sky Tomb, Lu Heng did indeed deduce a unique palm technique specifically targeted towards cultivators of the Tao Scripture, in order to prevent any havoc caused by the disciples of Hanyu Mountain that no one would be able to counteract.

However, Lu Heng had only been simulating this move in his consciousness, and had never actually executed it. How did the girl in front of him know?

In Lu Heng’s astonished gaze, the girl smirked and said, “Of course it’s because our hearts are in sync… Haven’t you noticed, Master? Your disciple has a deep connection with you. So, whatever you ponder while being as inscrutable as a closed gourd, I actually understand it all too well.”

Lu Heng looked at her speechlessly and said, “You can even peer into my innermost thoughts? When did this begin?”

The White Dragon girl shook her head and said, “It’s not about peering into your innermost thoughts, it’s about a spiritual connection! In the depths of our beings, we can sense each other’s intentions. This is called a spiritual connection, where our hearts resonate with one another! It’s definitely not about peering into your innermost thoughts!”

The girl corrected, “Since the moment I gained consciousness, it has been like this between us, Master. Didn’t you know?”

Lu Heng looked at her curiously and said, “If that’s the case, then why have I never detected your intentions? Is it possible that only you can sense mine?”

Regarding this, the girl chuckled and said, “It’s because I’m foolish! My mind is always blank, I don’t think about anything. It’s strange that you can sense it, Master. Unlike you, my mind is not filled with peculiar thoughts, and I don’t hide my actions. I speak my mind and never conceal anything in front of you, Master.”

The girl wore a proud expression on her face.

Lu Heng listened in silence, “You’re quite proud…”

Could it be that this is the highest realm of acting foolish-true foolishness?

Why, however, is the girl in front of him able to communicate with him on a spiritual level?

Could it be that because her birth was orchestrated by Lu Heng himself, with the power of heavenly thunder?

If that were the case, the way Xiao Ai was born would be similar to that of the White Dragon Maiden, then Xiao Ai… sighs

After realizing this, Lu Heng suddenly took in a sharp breath of cold air.

Could it be that Xiao Ai is also able to establish a spiritual connection with him?

This…

With a stunned expression, Lu Heng looked at the young girl before him, unsure of what to say for a moment.

The young girl, with a perplexed look, gazed at Lu Heng and asked, “Master, what are you worried about? Why are you suddenly so troubled?”

Lu Heng looked at her expressionlessly and said, “You’ve kept this earth-shattering news from me for hundreds of years… Don’t tell me it wasn’t intentional.”

The girl helplessly shrugged, “But you never asked me… Besides, I thought you knew, considering how obvious it was. Who would have known that you, Master, would have no inkling at all… Sigh… It truly is disheartening.”

“Very well, let me ask you again,” Lu Heng said, “Since you can sense my thoughts, why can’t you feel what I’m worried about now? You were able to sense even the fact that I devised a new martial arts technique. Why is it that you don’t know what I’m worried about now? How deep is your ability to sense my intentions?”

The girl tilted her head and pondered, “It’s probably just the extent of whether you, Master, are happy or angry… It’s actually quite vague. However, if you keep thinking about the same thing, I can roughly sense the direction of your worries or contemplations.”

“For example, right now… um, I can sense what you’re worried about… it seems to be related to… uh… Martial Sister Xiao Ai?”

The young girl with the White Dragon emblem paused for a moment, looking somewhat surprised, “Master, why are you suddenly worried about Martial Sister Xiao Ai? Shouldn’t we be concerned about Senior Brother Sun Yan instead? Why are you worried about what Martial Sister Xiao Ai might do?”

The girl was thoroughly perplexed.

Lu Heng’s mouth curled into a smirk as he said, “Your Senior Brother Sun Yan? Haha… now, it doesn’t matter what happens to that wretched monkey.”

“The most crucial matter now is whether we should pay a visit to the Heavenly Court.”

Lu Heng said with a wry smile, “Your senior brothers and sisters would surely be thrilled to see their junior sister like you.”
