"The past is history, and no matter how much we dwell on it, we cannot change it. Instead of dwelling on the past, we should focus on the present and the future."
As he spoke, he gently pushed Zhang Chulan in front of Zhang Zhiwei and continued, "I think you should become the master of the Heavenly Master, and we can talk about the rest later."
Zhang Chulan looked up and met Zhang Zhiwei's smiling face.
Zhang Zhiwei looked at him kindly and said:
"Chu Lan, don't think too much. Although Huaiyi has done many wrong things, we have never blamed him. From now on, just treat me as your grandfather and follow me."
After saying this, Zhang Zhiwei reached out and patted Zhang Chulan's head, his eyes full of doting and care, which made everyone present smile.
This heartwarming scene brought a touch of warmth and comfort to Zhang Chulan, who was still immersed in grief.
After explaining everything, Xingliu prepared to embark on his journey home.
At this moment, Xu San and Xu Si's eyes were no longer filled with defensiveness; they knew that Feng Baobao's departure was inevitable.
However, the reluctance to part was still hard to hide, and the emotions revealed in their eyes moved Xingliu.
Xingliu thought that Feng Baobao's condition should be much better by now, so it would be more appropriate for her to say goodbye in person.
After all, the Xu family has taken care of her for so long, and whether out of affection or courtesy, she should be allowed to say goodbye in person.
Therefore, Xingliu no longer hesitated and began to communicate with Feng Baobao, who was in his space.
After receiving Feng Baobao's affirmative reply, Xingliu waved his hand gently, and a dazzling teleportation portal instantly appeared before everyone's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Feng Baobao slowly walked out of the door, and her appearance made Xu San and Xu Si overjoyed.
The two rushed forward, tightly grasped Feng Baobao's arm, and asked with concern, "Baobao, how are you? Is anything bothering you?"
Although Feng Baobao appears somewhat dull due to the damage to her soul, her emotional intelligence has greatly improved.
She knew that at this time, she needed to say some comforting words to put her friends at ease.
So Feng Baobao gently shook her head, a faint smile on her lips, and said softly, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Although her voice wasn't loud, it possessed a magical power that instantly soothed Xu San and Xu Si's tense nerves.
They looked at Feng Baobao with a sense of relief, their hearts filled with emotion.
Over the years, they have witnessed Feng Baobao's growth and changes.
She used to be innocent and naive, but she was easily deceived and taken advantage of.
While she still retains her innocence and kindness, she now possesses a greater sense of maturity and wisdom.
They knew all too well how difficult such a change must have been for Feng Baobao.
For Feng Baobao, this change was undoubtedly a qualitative leap.
Seeing her like this now, their worries have lessened considerably.
Feng Baobao then expressed her gratitude to them in simple and sincere words.
These words flowed into their hearts like a warm current, bringing tears to the eyes of these two men who were usually as strong as iron.
Finally, Feng Baobao dialed Xu Xiang's number.
On the other end of the phone, Xu Xiang lost control of his emotions and cried like a child after learning that Feng Baobao was about to leave.
Even so, he suppressed his grief and respected Feng Baobao's decision.
After waving goodbye to them one by one, Feng Baobao turned around and walked back to the teleportation portal.
However, just as Feng Baobao stepped into the portal and Xingliu was about to start his departure, the whole world seemed to be paused, everything froze, and time seemed to be frozen by cold frost.
Surprisingly, this force that froze everything had no effect on the stellar flow.
His gaze sharpened as a sudden notification popped up in the system caused his expression to change drastically.
[Warning: A higher-dimensional being is interfering with the host. This interference has been shielded for the host.]
This sudden warning alerted Xingliu, and he did not hesitate to prepare to leave this place of trouble immediately through the system.
Although he once thought that some things were unavoidable, the current situation was clearly beyond his ability to cope with; it would be foolish not to run away.
Meanwhile, Tongtian, who was outside the world, witnessed this scene and was filled with shock and disbelief.
He knew that Xingliu's opportunities were extraordinary, but Xingliu was still worlds apart from him at this moment.
However, this seemingly insignificant existence was able to ignore his power interference, which completely overturned his understanding.
Seeing that Xingliu was about to slip away, Tongtian didn't care about anything else and hurriedly came to Xingliu's side, patted his shoulder lightly, and said with a smile, "Young friend, please wait."
These words struck Xingliu like a thunderbolt.
These familiar lines are exactly the opening remarks often used by legendary Western luminaries.
Am I really going to fail here today?
Chapter 244 The Gift of Heaven
Xingliu's heart skipped a beat. He dared not linger for a moment and turned to flee towards the system's Gate of All Heavens. At this moment, he only wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible and get away from this seemingly kind but unfathomable being.
Tongtian watched Xingliu's panicked retreating figure, his smile growing even brighter. He knew Xingliu had already thought of some unpleasant things, but that didn't matter. After all, there were plenty of people who disliked the Western Paradise, and he was no exception.
However, at this moment, he still needed to explain his purpose to Xingliu. So he waved his hand, and a dazzling stream of light instantly entered Xingliu's body.
Just as Xingliu was about to make his escape, he suddenly felt a strange power surge into his body, and then the system notification sounded again:
[A reward for detecting a higher dimension: AFK speed +100%.]
This sudden change brought Xingliu to a halt.
He turned around, his eyes filled with doubt and wariness, staring intently at Tongtian.
He wondered to himself what this higher-dimensional being wanted to do.
Why give him such a gift?
Tongtian looked at Xingliu's wary expression and couldn't help but find it a little funny.
He knew that his sudden appearance and gifts would definitely make the little guy wary, but there was nothing he could do about it.
He could understand Xingliu's caution, and even felt that Xingliu's behavior suited him quite well.
So, Tongtian cleared his throat and slowly began to speak:
"Young friend, there's no need to be nervous. I mean no harm. I just see that you possess extraordinary talents and wish to establish a good relationship with you."
Hearing Tongtian's words, Xingliu did not lower his guard.
He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, a simple yet very practical principle.
He's not related to anyone, so why would anyone be nice to him for no reason?
This unknown person presented a generous gift right away, which made him suspicious of Tongtian's intentions.
Therefore, Xingliu was not swayed by Tongtian's words.
Instead, he cautiously stepped one foot into the system's portal, ready to escape this unknown danger at any moment.
However, just as he was hesitating, the system notification sounded in his mind again:
[The gift, which has been detected to exist in a higher dimension, is not malicious and can be accepted with confidence.]
Upon hearing this, Xingliu's doubts dissipated considerably.
The system has always been his most reliable support.
The system had previously successfully blocked the interference of the person in front of him, so he still had a high degree of trust in the system.
Seeing the change in Xingliu's expression, Tongtian couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"Young friend, are you afraid that I would harm you? If I really had such intentions, with my strength, I wouldn't need to resort to such roundabout methods."
Xingliu nodded upon hearing this. What Tongtian said was indeed true.
His vigilance gradually eased under Tongtian's gentle attitude.
After all, if Tongtian really wanted to harm him, he wouldn't need to go to such great lengths.
So he asked in a tone that was both respectful and somewhat curious, "Senior, may I ask your honorable name?"
The Tongtian Sect Leader stroked his chin, a subtle smile playing on his lips, and replied, "I am the Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun."
When Xingliu heard the name, something seemed to flash through his mind, giving him a sense of familiarity.
However, before he could think it through, the Master of Heaven added, "You may also call me the Master of Heaven."
These words struck Xingliu like a bolt from the blue. Xingliu's eyes widened instantly as he stared at the Tongtian Sect Leader in disbelief.
He never expected that this legendary saint would suddenly appear before him and speak to him so kindly.
Looking at Xingliu's shocked expression, the Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.
Although he knew he was famous throughout the myriad realms, seeing Xingliu's reaction still made him feel very satisfied.
However, the Tongtian Sect Leader did not indulge in such smugness; he quickly thought of his important business.
He went to all this trouble just to see if this chosen one had enough ambition and potential.
Now that Xingliu has proven himself with his performance, it's time for him to take action.
But just as the Tongtian Sect Leader was about to express his willingness to take on disciples, he unexpectedly found himself unable to utter those words.
In that instant, he was deeply shocked and suddenly realized that he might have underestimated the immense opportunity hidden within Xingliu.
Even a saint like Tongtian Jiaozhu was not qualified to accept Xingliu as a disciple. The depth and breadth of this opportunity are truly unimaginable.
Despite the turmoil within his heart, the Tongtian Sect Leader maintained a calm and composed demeanor on the surface.
He quickly adjusted his mindset and considered his next strategy.
Since he couldn't take Xingliu as a disciple, he didn't want to create a bad relationship with this promising young man.
Perhaps in the future, his Star Flow Realm will improve rapidly and become a great help to him.
Thus, the Tongtian Sect Leader maintained his amiable smile, as if everything before had merely been a brief moment of distraction.
In Xingliu's eyes, the Tongtian Sect Leader only paused for a moment before returning to normal.
He had no idea what kind of mental journey the Tongtian Cult Leader had gone through in that brief moment.
"I traveled through countless worlds in my spirit and happened to witness your heroic act of saving the world here."
The Tongtian Sect Leader spoke slowly, his tone revealing his appreciation for Xingliu: "Although you have a complex mind, you are decisive in your actions and clear in your thinking. You are truly a promising talent."
