After the destruction of the Immortal Realm, I took in the fallen fairy.

What the hell!

Just as Yun Yue was finishing her painting, Lin Heng almost fainted.

Isn't it that your drawing skills are mediocre, or that you're just making a fool of yourself in front of yourself?

How come not only are the seashells drawn so lifelike, but even Mu Tinglan inside the seashells is drawn exactly like the real person?

"alright."

At this moment, Yun Yue put down her brush and gently handed the drawing paper to Lin Heng: "My painting skills are only so-so, I hope you won't find them offensive."

"..."

Lin Heng glanced at Yun Yue, then picked up the painting and examined it.

Although he had never seen the seashell in Mu Tinglan Xiying's dream, the painting itself was definitely a lifelike work of art.

Now, by simply comparing this painting with the one Mu Tinglan is currently working on, we can determine whether Mu Tinglan's Xiying Dream is about the past or the future.

"Okay, I'll head back now."

After carefully putting the painting away, Lin Heng stood up and walked to the door.

"Is Master leaving already?"

Yun Yue, who was standing next to her, also immediately stood up.

But as she got up, she seemed to realize something, and slowed down her pace as she followed.

"Oh, right."

Turning back, Lin Heng looked at Yun Yue, then turned back again, took a cloth bag from his pocket, and handed it to Yun Yue.

"This is?"

Yun Yue took the cloth bag.

Lin Heng said calmly, "Qinghe gave this to you. She said it was a gift from her if I ever saw you again."

"Qinghe?"

Yun Yue slowly opened the wooden box.

Upon seeing the contents of the bag, Yun Yue chuckled softly, "This silly girl..."

"Um?"

Lin Heng watched Yun Yue's reaction with curiosity.

Upon seeing this, Yun Yue immediately took out the item from the cloth bag, which was a very small jade pendant.

"These are Qinghe's personal belongings from when she was a child."

After a moment of reflection, Yun Yue said with a touch of helplessness, "Back then, she was always so arrogant that she thought she could enter an ancient sect and challenge its disciples. But every time, it was the fairies from the ancient sects who found me with this jade pendant."

"So I told her that when the person who comes to me with this jade pendant is not a fairy from an ancient sect, but herself, it will mean that she truly has the ability to enter an ancient sect."

As she spoke, Yun Yue looked up at Lin Heng: "Although it is no longer the Immortal Realm, Qing He gave me this item, which should be telling me that she has found a place comparable to the ancient sects, or even... a better place than the ancient sects."

"So that's how it is."

Lin Heng nodded slowly.

"But whether she hands her over to me now or not is actually not important."

Yun Yue smiled and said to Lin Heng, "After all, we all follow our master and are his immortal servants... This is the best possible outcome in the world today."

"But she doesn't know who you are."

Lin Heng shrugged.

"Um."

Yun Yue replied softly, "I'll tell her when I have the chance in the future..."

"Oh?"

Lin Heng glanced sideways.

In the past, when the topic of revealing her identity to Yun Qinghe and others came up, Yun Yue was always conflicted and hesitant.

But now, I can feel a sense of relief from her.

"Master need not be surprised."

Yun Yue smiled gently, "People's thoughts change, especially at different stages and... when they have different identities."

"Anyway, this is your business, you can decide for yourself."

Lin Heng stated that he would not interfere in the relationship between Yun Qinghe and Yun Yue, and then pushed open the door.

"Yes, Master."

Yun Yue quickly reached out her hand.

"Is there anything else?"

Lin Heng turned his head and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Yun Yue pursed her thin lips and asked in a low voice, "Master, will you... ever return to Golden Deer City in the future?"

"Probably not in the short term."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Heng said, "The situation at Zaxi Pass is rather complicated. Although the initial goal was Yunma Snow Mountain, there seems to be some secret beneath Zaxi Pass..."

"Is that so...?"

Yun Yue lowered her eyes slightly, looking a little disappointed.

Lin Heng continued talking about his future plans: "And after we finish dealing with things in the Western Regions, I'll probably have to go to the capital again..."

"The capital city?!"

Yun Yue immediately looked up in surprise and said to Lin Heng, "Then, Master, when you pass through Jinlu City on your way to the capital in the future... could you stay for a while?"

"Um?"

Finally, Lin Heng realized that Yun Yue seemed to be concerned not only about his schedule, but also about whether he could stay with her a little longer.

Shouldn't a fairy with a wood-elemental root be naturally dull and rigid? Could she also have the title of Fairy of Lingyu?

What Lin Heng didn't know was that Yun Yue's behavior was precisely because of the somewhat rigid nature of the Wood Spirit Root.

Although in this world, she is very clear that she and Lin Heng have a relationship of celestial slave and slave master.

However, after undergoing the shared cultivation and inheritance that is only between Daoist partners, her understanding of this relationship changed.

She was willing to remain, in Lin Heng's heart, a fairy slave who only needed to follow her master's wishes.

But in her heart, she couldn't help but regard Lin Heng as her Daoist partner.

And this wasn't entirely due to the nature of her wood spirit root; there was also the fundamental change that occurred after that shared cultivation inheritance...

"Then I'll see my master off today."

Yun Yue stepped forward and followed Lin Heng out of the private room.

"No need for that."

Lin Heng waved his hand and said, "I heard from the fairy at the mine that you haven't been feeling well lately?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yue trembled.

She immediately lost her balance and quickly grabbed the wall next to her for support.

"Sect Master!"

At this moment, the fairy who was guarding outside immediately came over to help Yun Yue.

Lin Heng frowned: "Is your physical condition that bad right now?"

"No, Master, don't worry, I was just a little emotionally agitated just now."

After catching her breath, Yun Yue waved to the fairy beside her, "I can easily take Master to the Xuanji Mine..."

"Come on, with your current health condition, you still want to give it to me?"

Lin Heng shook his head helplessly and said, "Was it the corpse of that Demon-Eating Bird that disrupted the spiritual energy within your body?"

Ok?

Yun Yue was stunned.

So that's what the fairies at the mine say?

"That's fine."

Lin Heng handed her the Rejuvenating Grass he carried with him, saying, "The Rejuvenating Grass has some nourishing effect on spiritual roots, you can take it and eat it... By the way, have you constructed a Celestial Farming Spiritual Field?"

Yun Yue took the resurrection grass and, with the help of the fairy beside her, slowly stood up: "Yes, it's already being constructed in the farmland outside the city."

Lin Heng said to her, "Buy some Root-Building Fruit seeds to plant. I've seen these low-grade spiritual herb seeds in the market of Golden Deer City before, so they shouldn't be hard to find. You can consume them after planting; they'll help with disordered spiritual energy."

"Okay, I understand."

"Take care of yourself first, and don't work so late. I can go home by myself."

After saying this, Lin Heng went downstairs alone and left the Misty Pavilion.

"Master, should I go buy some Root-Building Fruits tomorrow?"

On the second floor, the fairy beside Yun Yue asked.

"Need not."

Yun Yue shook her head, then turned and went back to her room, took out an exquisite wooden box, and carefully stored the resurrection grass inside.

"Sect Master."

The fairy followed, asking in confusion, "But didn't Young Master Lin just say that these spiritual herbs would help the Pavilion Master's recovery?"

"That's helpful for bodies whose spiritual energy has been disrupted by the Demon-Eating Bird."

Yun Yue slowly shook her head, looking out the window with a complicated expression: "My body is actually fine. The discomfort I've felt these past few days is just a normal reaction..."
