Chapter 971: Final Preparations
Nevertheless, Lingyou Hall is the culmination of generations of effort from the Ling Family. As a descendant of the Ling Family, he cannot just abandon it. Hence, upon returning to Lingyou Hall, Ling Xiang spent several months thoroughly rectifying it, placing people he trusts and values in important positions. Additionally, taking advantage of that martial arts tournament, he repaired relations with various sects in the Spirit Cultivation Realm.
He doesn’t hope to continue glorifying Lingyou Hall; as long as there can be harmonious coexistence with other sects and not cause disputes over so-called dominance in the Spirit Cultivation Realm like before, that would be sufficient.
However, from the moment he returned to Lingyou Hall, he thought about how to properly arrange matters for Lingyou Hall, then join Su Yu and the others to the Delusion Void Array. Fortunately, it took them a few months to prepare to set off, giving him enough time to organize. As the Hall Master of Lingyou Hall, leaving it like this naturally brings many unstable factors to it. Therefore, he specially appointed a cousin with whom he has a good relationship as the Vice Hall Master of Lingyou Hall. Although it is somewhat challenging for him to hold sway over the elders of various departments within Lingyou Hall based solely on strength, mutual checks and balances can still stabilize Lingyou Hall.
Ling Xiang is different from Han Jing and the others; they intend to save people, while he merely wishes to gain experience. As for matters of life and death, in the Spirit Cultivation Realm, he is alone in the world, long mindful of life and death, whether facing an early demise or a long life, he has never cared. Even if he were to stay behind in the Spirit Cultivation Realm, he wouldn’t be bothered by such concerns.
Xiao Xue was very happy to see Ling Xiang, buzzing excitedly beside him as if she could never finish talking, causing the surrounding pressure around Lianwu to drop several degrees cold instantly. What’s wrong with this little girl? Why does she seem more enthusiastic seeing Ling Xiang than her own father, yet you never see her running to chat with Su Yu for nothing?
Ling Xiang is very patient with Xiao Xue, no matter what she says to him, he listens warmly and occasionally agrees with a few words, making Xiao Xue feel that Brother Xue Xi is truly the gentlest person in the entire world.
Her father only ever sticks to her mother every day, Uncle Lanling always runs around and vanishes without a trace, having more fun than she does. Her maternal uncle treats her too well too, unconditionally agreeing with whatever she says, which isn’t interesting. Uncle Xichen is quite busy, and she doesn’t enjoy bothering him. Her maternal grandfather is just grandmother’s follower, and Grandpa Ghost has been busy with Uncle Shi Qi lately, researching all sorts of miscellaneous Spirit Control Techniques and arrays, completely neglecting her.
The only one she is most satisfied with is Brother Lianwu, but lately he seems to have taken on some strange wind lately and drags her around learning this and that, causing the young girl some grievance.
Therefore, when she saw Ling Xiang, her eyes sparkled brightly, almost wishing never to leave his side.
Of course, in the end, she was mercilessly dragged away by Lianwu.
The necessary preparations have been completed, and Han Jing’s party scheduled to depart in three days. They still need to carry more reserves, and since Su Yu returned from Fengling Snow Mountain, he has been committed to crafting various magical artifacts. After reaching the White Flame Level in strength, he’s become exceptionally skilled at artifact refining. With his previous reserves, preparation left for Han Jing’s group should suffice to face any special situations.
