He then glanced at Tang Mei, who hadn’t said a word and smiled.
“You used to be so lively and wouldn’t stop asking me questions. Why are you so demure today?”
Tang Mei blushed.
After being teased by Lin Shen, she wasn’t so reserved anymore. She simply made a playful face at Lin Shen.
“I’ve always been a lady!”
Lin Shen laughed. Seeing that Tang Mei’s face was getting redder and redder, he stopped teasing her and changed the topic.
“I’m going out of the city next. I’m leaving today, and I might not be back in a month or two. I’m afraid you’ll have to take care of Ai for a while.”
“What? Are you going out of the city again?” Ai grabbed his shirt and looked reluctant.
“I have something very important to do, but don’t worry, there won’t be any danger.”
Lin Shen patted her head and comforted her. Then, he looked at Tang Yue and Tang Mei.
“I’ll leave Ai in your hands.”
Tang Yue immediately nodded.
To be honest, they couldn’t wait to agree to such a good offer.
Although Ai was innocent, she was stronger than all the spirit cats in Sinking Moon.
With Ai around, their rescue mission was much smoother than before.
If it weren’t for Lin Shen, they would have persuaded Ai to join Sinking Moon.
Instead of taking care of Ai, it was more like Ai was helping them.
It was getting late. After comforting Ai, Lin Shen didn’t delay any longer. He turned around and left under Ai’s reluctant gaze.
After watching Lin Shen disappear at the door, Tang Yue turned her head and saw that Ai was still in a daze. She went forward, picked her up, and comforted her gently.
“Don’t worry, Lord Lin Shen will definitely be fine. Moreover, he said that he would be back in a month or two.”
Tang Mei nodded and said, “Ai, if you’re worried, you should transcend the human tribulation as soon as possible and transform into a human. Then, you can follow Lord Lin Shen everywhere.”
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested.
Ai’s eyes immediately lit up.
That’s right. Lin Shen didn’t bring her along because her cultivation level was too low.
Then, she just needed to become stronger!
That’s right! That’s it!
Ai nodded and decided to cultivate harder in the future and get through the human tribulation as soon as possible!
After leaving his residence, Lin Shen rushed straight to the north gate.
Wood Ancestor City was located north of Dragonside City, on the other side of the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range.
If one wanted to go to the Wood Ancestor City, one would have to pass through the depths of the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range.
In order to avoid going too deep and bumping into demon cultivators, one had to avoid the depths of the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range and circle around from the outside.
The Dragon Abyss Mountain Range stretched for tens of thousands of miles. Taking the detour would take three to four more days.
After arriving at the north gate, Lin Shen took out the token and left the city. Just as he was about to summon the flying crane to set off, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
“Junior Brother Lin!”
Lin Shen looked in the direction of the voice and saw two young men walking toward him with smiles on their faces.
One of them was Shen Zening, whom he had seen when the academy was besieging the Yan family disciples!
“Senior Brother Shen, why are you here too…”
Halfway through his sentence, Lin Shen suddenly realized something.
“Senior Brother Shen, are you also going to Wood Ancestor City to participate in the Xuandu Meeting?”
“I am.”
Shen Zening smiled warmly.
“I heard that Junior Brother Lin is going too, so I waited here. Junior Brother Lin, you don’t mind traveling with us, right?”
Lin Shen smiled and said, “Of course, I’m very happy to travel with Senior Brother Shen.”
Shen Zening’s smile widened. He suddenly patted his head and introduced the young man beside him.
“How ignorant of me. 1 almost forgot to introduce you. This is Senior Brother Qu Ke, an inner sect disciple of the sect. Like us, he’s going to Wood Ancestor City to participate in the Xuandu Meeting.”
Si Yuanpei mentioned that there were a total of three Xuandu Tokens.
Therefore, when he heard Shen Zening say that he was going to participate in the Xuandu Meeting, Lin Shen had already guessed that the other person was on the same mission. He wasn’t surprised when he heard this and smiled as he cupped his hands at Qu Ke.
“Senior Brother Qu!”
Qu Ke returned the greeting with a gentle smile.
“Junior Brother Lin, I’ve heard so much about you. I’ve long wanted to meet the legendary genius of the academy. Thanks to Junior Brother Shen, I can finally meet you today.”
When Lin Shen heard this, he knew that Qu Ke was talking about how he had severely injured Wu Ji in the spirit cave and that many Mystic Light Stage Elders wanted to take him in as a disciple. He said a few words to express his humble attitude.
“Alright, enough with the pleasantries.”
Shen Zening interrupted them with a smile.
“It’s getting late. We should set off. We still have to stay together for more than ten days. You’ll have plenty of time to chat.”
Lin Shen and Qu Ke looked at each other and nodded.
As the chief disciple of the top ten disciples of the upper house, although Shen Zening was born a commoner, he had no lack of support from important figures in the sect. His wealth wasn’t inferior to that of the disciples of influential families.
With a wave of his sleeve, the void in front of him suddenly darkened, and a Dragon Fang Flying Ship appeared in front of the three of them.
“With this Dragon Fang Flying Ship, it looks like we can arrive at the Wood Ancestor City a few days in advance.” Qu Ke laughed.
The Dragon Fang Flying Ship was astonishingly fast and far exceeded ordinary flying spiritual beasts. Moreover, it was safer and could easily withstand the attacks of demons below the demon cultivator stage.
With the Dragon Tooth Flying Ship, although they still had to take a long detour to avoid the depths of the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range, the time spent on the journey could be greatly reduced.
The ten-day trip would probably be shortened to eight days.
“After you!” Shen Zening gestured with his hand.
Lin Shen and Qu Ke obeyed and were about to board the Dragon Fang Flying Ship.
However, at this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from afar.
“Wait!”
The three of them looked back in surprise and saw a figure flying over. Before long, he arrived and landed in front of the three of them aggressively.
The person swept his gaze over and paused on Qu Ke first. He seemed to have recognized the latter. After taking a look, he turned to look at Shen Zening and Lin Shen. He raised his chin slightly and asked arrogantly,
“Which one of you is Lin Shen?”
