That night, An Lin was able to enjoy a meal personally prepared by Dongfang Xue.

Not only did her dishes look and taste amazing, but they could even replenish vital energy and assist in blood circulation. Eating these, An Lin was full of praise.

After the wonderful meal, An Lin felt much better.

It was as if he had taken a renal supplement, and he became much more energetic.

Afterward, the three of them left the hotel and started strolling down the streets.

Feeling the night breeze blow over him, a feeling of satisfaction overcame An Lin, and he felt completely refreshed.

“Phew… that meal was absolutely amazing! Thank you guys so much!”

He stretched lazily and gratefully thanked the two girls next to him.

Tian Lingling was wearing a cream-colored dress and she walked next to Dongfang Xue. She held onto Dongfang Xue’s hand and was an entire head shorter. This made her appear especially dainty and adorable.

Hearing An Lin thank them, she instantly replied, “There’s no need to thank us. Fake Daoist Priest, why don’t you come to Tibet with us?”

An Lin was baffled upon hearing this. Then, he quickly remembered something and chuckled, “You’re worried about Uncle Lin Yi, aren’t you?”

Tian Lingling was slightly embarrassed as she nodded. “Even though a lot of disciples from Mount Longhu have headed off to Tibet, they still haven’t found Uncle Lin Yi. I’m afraid he’s…”

An Lin sighed helplessly. This was clearly a very troubling matter.

Lin Yi was a cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage, and he was one of the strongest individuals of Mount Longhu.

If even a cultivator of such a rank came across a perilous situation, then presumably the matter was a troublesome one. Being cultivators who were merely of the Dao Body Stage rank, what help could An Lin and the others provide?

Seeing his hesitation, Tian Lingling forced a smile. “Don’t worry, Fake Daoist Priest. With that frail body of yours, even if you go to Tibet, you’ll suffer from altitude sickness. Forget about it.”

Seeing the hint of stubbornness on her face, An Lin knew that even if he didn’t go, she would still persist in going herself.

“How about this. I’ll prepare tomorrow, then we can set off together. To be honest, I’ve never traveled to Tibet either. I’m fairly eager about this,” An Lin chuckled.

“Really?!” Tian Lingling’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and there was a look of delight on her adorable face.

Just as he was about to reply, a familiar voice sounded from the skies.

“Why wait till tomorrow? We’ll go tonight!”

Immediately afterward, a gigantic book descended from the skies. The beautiful lady sitting on top of this book wore a mysterious smile as she looked An Lin up and down.

“Teacher Yue Ying, why are you here?!” An Lin cried in surprise.

“Oh? Did I disturb your date with these two little beauties?” Earth Immortal Yue Ying teased.

Dongfang Xue blushed bright red when she heard this.

Tian Lingling yelled, “Yeah! You disturbed us! Who are you anyway?!”

An Lin: “…”

What an eccentric little girl. Didn’t she hear him address that female as Teacher Yue Ying just then?

“Hahaha! This little sister is fairly amusing.”

There was a look of interest in her eyes as she glanced at Tian Lingling.

“Teacher, how did you find us?”

An Lin had already guessed why Earth Immortal Yue Ying was here. She was most likely sent down by the Heavenly Court to deal with the matters concerning the Demon Emperor. However, there was absolutely no communication between them beforehand, how did she find them?

Tian Lingling finally reacted when she heard An Lin say ‘teacher’, and an awkward look flashed across her face.

At this moment, a male dressed in white also descended from the skies.

“It is because this is fate! It was fate that brought us together.”

The male jumped off his flying sword and there was a calm look on his face as he spoke.

Earth Immortal Yue Ying glared at him. “Fate my ass! It’s because the badge An Lin received for this mission was detected by our badge. Following its presence, we found them here!”

An Lin nodded his head in realization.

However, the male refused to give in. “Is this not fate? Amidst the unseen, there is naturally a connection. It was in the intangibility, and through the interlinked karma of various affairs, that you and I met!”

Earth Immortal Yue Ying: “…”

She felt that if she kept talking nonsense with this male, they would never reach a conclusion. So, she completely ignored him.

Through Earth Immortal Yue Ying’s introduction, An Lin learned that the male was called Earth Immortal Ming Yuan ¹ . He was also a teacher at their school and was tasked to deal with the Demon Emperor together with Earth Immortal Yue Ying.

Afterward, Earth Immortal Yue Ying took out a document. In this document, it was requested that An Lin and his team assist Earth Immortal Young Immortal in completing this mission.

“This mission is very challenging. Are you surprised? Are you shocked?”

Earth Immortal Yue Ying was beaming as she waved the document around.

There was a dark expression on An Lin’s face. “I’m very shocked,” he nodded.

There was no pleasant surprise at all… there was only shock and horror!

The Demon Emperor was an enemy of the Soul Formation Stage! With a mere rank of the Tenth Stage Dao Body, what were they going to do?

Even if they just stood to the side and cheered, there was still a possibility that they could be blown to bits by the shockwaves of the battle!

Was it the university that had gone mad, or was it the Heavenly Court that had gone mad?

Although he was very unwilling, An Lin still called up Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan to inform them of this news.

Xuanyuan Cheng and Xu Xiaolan needed to hurry over from other places, so it was decided that they would set off for Tibet tomorrow.

After informing his team of this news, An Lin helped Earth Immortal Yue Ying and Earth Immortal Ming Yuan check-in to the hotel. Then, he told them all the information he knew.

What An Lin couldn’t understand was, they didn’t plan on cooperating with the Soul Formation Stage cultivators of the mortal world in their operation. Rather, they planned to operate alone.

Moreover, the target location for this mission was directly set as the Ancient Jade Pond of Tibet.

“Teacher, do you really think that the Demon Emperor is hiding near the Ancient Jade Pond?” An Lin asked.

After the location of the demon realm was exposed, human cultivators banded together to attack it.

However, all that they found in the demon realm were a few weak demon cultivators. As for the Demon Emperor, he was nowhere to be seen.

From the moment that supernatural phenomena descended upon the Ancient Jade Pond until now, many human cultivators had linked it together with the activities of the Demon Tribe. Countless expedition teams had headed over, yet they made no major discoveries.

“Hah, you’ll find out when you get there. There’s going to be a big surprise!” Earth Immortal Yue Ying wore an enigmatic expression and gave An Lin another fright.

Big surprise?

Thinking back to the surprises that she mentioned before, he instantly felt uneasy.

Till the end however, Earth Immortal Yue Ying still didn’t reveal any clues. Instead, she headed straight back to her room to sleep.

To this, An Lin could only shake his head in exasperation.

Right at this moment, Earth Immortal Ming Yuan patted his shoulders with an understanding look. “Student An Lin, do you also find it annoying that Earth Immortal Yue Ying left you hanging?”

As if finding someone of the same opinion, An Lin nodded emphatically.

Earth Immortal Ming Yuan laughed heartily. “I, on the other hand, never leave people hanging!”

An Lin’s eyes lit up. “Teacher, are you going to explain to me what’s going on at the Ancient Jade Pond?”

Earth Immortal Ming Yuan shook his head.

“Student An Lin, I just looked at your fortune and I won’t keep you guessing. I’ll tell you straight up.

“In this coming operation… there are ominous signs for you!”

An Lin: “…”
