Chapter 2133: All is Well

Xu Xiaolan was slightly baffled as she gazed at the man before her. She had simply expressed her own opinion, so was there any need for him to become so worked up?

“An Lin, is your brain working alright? Don’t just drink. Eat some food as well.”

She felt that An Lin had definitely had too much to drink, resulting in his mood and emotions becoming a little strange.

Two divine beings were actually arguing over such a foolish question?

It was clear that there was something wrong with them.

Indeed, she could also hear the voice from the North Cang Mountain Realm.

Xu Xiaolan’s words shook An Lin awake.

“Holy sh*t, I was almost led astray by that senior!” As the mighty God of War of the Tai Chu Continent, he had actually been arguing about tofu brains with a God of Creation Stage divine being? How uncanny!

“Sigh… Little Friend An Lin, it looks like we won’t be able to reach a consensus.

“However, I also understand that it’s impossible to come to a consensus. After all, this is a profoundly difficult question that pertains to one’s sensory perceptions, understanding of dao, understanding of essence and origin… and many other types of understanding.

“Once I solve this question and understand why I like savory tofu brains but not sweet tofu brains, I feel that I’ll be able to advance another step in my path of cultivation. Solving this question will allow me to reach a new height!”

A string of curses raced through An Lin’s mind.

Reach a new height? Are you going to become the Tofu Emperor?

What an absolute joke!

He’s definitely been alive for far too long. Thus, he’s got to ponder over these menial and useless questions to pass time… right? This has got to be the case, right?!

An Lin was at a complete loss for words. He didn’t know how to reply.

“Indeed, senior. I think you’re correct!” An Lin said, trying to muddle his way through the conversation.

One definitely shouldn’t argue with a fool. Otherwise, they would be dragged down to the same level as the fool. Then, using their wealth of experience, the fool would defeat their fallen opponent. The best strategy when facing a fool was to agree with them on the surface while cursing them and slandering them as foolish c*nt in one’s own mind.

“M-hm… It looks like Little Friend An Lin can somewhat understand my struggle…

“Anyhow, this has already been a fairly long greeting. Let’s leave it here. You’re welcome to be a guest at the North Cang Mountain Realm at any time. If you come, I’ll definitely come out to personally greet you. We can then continue to discuss the profound philosophical question regarding tofu brains,” the Enlightened Being said warmly.

An Lin: “…”

You still want to f*cking discuss tofu brains?

Thank you but no thank you! Since you’ve said this, I definitely won’t be visiting!

An Lin grimaced, yet he still put on a cheerful expression, saying, “Definitely! We can continue this discussion later.”

Just like that, they concluded their profound and friendly exchange.

In the beginning, An Lin had considered persuading the Enlightened Being to join the Heaven Crushing Sect. However, after seeing that he had contemplated the question of tofu brains for several thousand years, An Lin decided that he didn’t seem like someone who would be willing to crush the heavens. With this in mind, he decided against trying to persuade him.

“An Lin, are you okay? If you’re fine, I’m going to head over to talk to them now.” Xu Xiaolan still wanted to talk to Gabriel about fashion and outfit combinations.

She was always wearing a jade dress, and she felt that this was becoming a little too dull.

Regardless of how many times her dress was damaged due to battle, she would always weave a new one based on the first dress that An Lin had gifted her, the Jade Barley Ink Garment.

There was nothing wrong with doing this since her breathtaking beauty meant that the others could ignore what she wore. However, Xiaolan wanted to change her style, and she wanted to see if she could give An Lin a different kind of experience…

Of course, she wouldn’t reveal these thoughts to An Lin.

“I’m fine; you can head over now. Anyhow, I was just planning to use a long-distance video crystal to check up on Big Brother Cheng,” An Lin said with a smile.

After Xu Xiaolan left, An Lin started to connect to the video crystal of the Four Nine Immortal Sect.

The video crystal was an invention that Bai Ling had come up with. It was incredibly valuable, and it was something that would allow one to conduct long-distance video calls. There were no cell towers installed on the Tai Chu Continent, and thus these long-distance communication devices required an exorbitant amount of energy to transmit any information. An Lin didn’t use these communication devices much.

It wasn’t long before his call was answered. An aloof and beautiful woman in white appeared in the frame, her beautiful eyes focused on An Lin.

“What a rare sight! The Sect Leader is actively contacting me!” the woman said with a smile.

“Big Sister Bai is so beautiful, so it’s worth it to steal a few extra glances at you,” An Lin said sincerely.

“Oh, your cultivation base has grown, but who would’ve thought that you’ve also become a sweeter talker?” Bai Ling chuckled softly, and her voice became a bit more relaxed than normal. “So, why are you calling?”

“I’ve heard that Big Brother Cheng exhausted all of his dao power and energy during the battle at the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect. How is he doing now? Can I see him?” An Lin was a little tense at this moment. Although everyone told him that Big Brother Cheng was fine, he had to personally witness how he was doing. After all, seeing was believing.

“M-hm… Have a look for yourself,” Bai Ling replied. She turned the video crystal to where Xuanyuan Cheng was right now. However, what An Lin saw was an extremely uncanny scene.

Xuanyuan Cheng was standing on the peak of the Full Moon Mountain, quietly gazing at a streak of light in the east. On his chest was a small red flower that was swaying with the wind.

He faltered momentarily when he saw An Lin’s image materialize in the void before him.

An Lin was even more astonished, and he asked, “Big Brother Cheng, are you okay?”

“Classmate An Lin, don’t worry about me. I’m fine,” Xuanyuan Cheng replied, a warm smile on his face.

“But why are you standing on the mountain peak?” An Lin asked in curiosity.

A fervent expression appeared on Xuanyuan Cheng’s face, and he spread his arms toward the streak of light in the east. “I’m embracing the sun!” he exclaimed proudly.

An Lin: “???

“Hang on… Big Brother Cheng, are you truly okay?” An Lin was unable to fathom how this scenario of embracing the sun was playing out on this graceful and handsome Sword Immortal.

His body wasn’t damaged, but his brain most certainly was!

“Rest assured, Classmate An Lin. I’m genuinely okay,” Xuanyuan Cheng said solemnly. “Do you see that ray of morning light in the east? That’s a ray of hope, a ray of warmth, and a ray of love!”

An Lin sucked in a sharp breath. Turning to face the woman in the corner of his screen, he said, “Big Sister Bai, I think you owe me an explanation…”

Bai Ling yawned softly and said, “Xiao Hong is attached to Xuanyuan Cheng’s body right now, and she’s healing the side-effects that he suffered during that battle. Thus, Xuanyuan Cheng has got to embrace the sun in her stead. This is only logical.”

An Lin was rendered speechless by this explanation.

He chattered with Xuanyuan Cheng for a while longer. Only after determining that he was genuinely okay were his worries finally eased. He then started to chatter with Little Gu, Da Bai, Little Tian, Su Qianyun, and his other friends.

In fact, Little Tian was also facing some serious problems. It seemed like he had come across a cultivation barrier recently, and this had stopped him from always uttering four-word idioms. Instead of uttering legitimate idioms, he could only shout, “four-word idiom, four-word idiom, four-word idiom…”

It was a mystery why this was the case…

Could you imagine this? Once Xue Zhantian saw An Lin, he would excitedly shout, “Four-word idiom, four-word idiom, four-word idiom…” What kind of scene was this? No one knew what he was trying to say!

Meanwhile, Da Bai was the same as always.

As for Su Qianyun, she was still as stunningly beautiful and adorable as normal.

Cassidy was also as obsequious as always. However, since An Lin had reached the Dao Integration Stage now, he didn’t give her any more of his holy blood. This was in consideration of her own safety…

One after another, the faces of his friends appeared on the screen of the video crystal. Upon seeing his friends all lively and chirpy, An Lin’s worries were finally eased. It was as if a heavy weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

He smiled faintly as he looked up at the bright and round moon.

In order to protect these peaceful and joyous scenes… it was all worth it!
