Ye Yu smiled faintly as he listened to the story unfold. Despite Ji Lingqing being thoroughly subdued, there was still a hint of resentment in his tone when he spoke of past events.
There was nothing that could be done—Ji Lingqing still believed that the root of his problems lay with Ye Yu.
If it weren't for Ye Yu, Zhong Qin wouldn't have sought him out.
She wouldn't have tied him up here for such a long time.
Of course, even if there was a mistake, so what?
After all, he couldn’t win against Ye Yu, so he could only behave obediently!
Ji Lingqing pursed his lips slightly, trying his best not to let the tears fall.
After hearing the full story, Ye Yu's lips curled upwards slightly.
It seemed that Zhong Qin retained memories from the Dream Realm; otherwise, she wouldn't have come to find Ji Lingqing.
Unfortunately, it was this young man who had to bear the blame.
With that in mind, Ye Yu, recalling the friendship in the dream and the grievances Ji Lingqing had suffered, didn’t mind helping him untangle his knots once again.
After all, this was a tremendous opportunity for him.
Without any internal conflicts, Ji Lingqing would cultivate at a speed that would surely surpass anyone's expectations!
"Ji Lingqing, let go of yourself..." Ye Yu spoke for a while, but realized that Ji Lingqing’s face was only full of confusion.
There was no sense of enlightenment at all.
Hmm, did something go wrong?
The words he was speaking were the same as before, but why weren’t they working?
At that moment, Ye Yu’s gaze landed on the immortal wine nearby.
Right, that was the missing ingredient!
After repeatedly pouring the wine into Ji Lingqing’s mouth, his eyes, once clear, gradually became foggy.
Seizing this opportunity, Ye Yu once again tried to enlighten him.
Sure enough, within half an hour, the immortal qi from the surrounding area began to converge on Ji Lingqing.
The young man, once hailed as the future of the Ji family, had broken through the bottleneck that had troubled cultivators for nearly ten thousand years and had finally stepped into the Earth Immortal realm.
Feeling the change in his cultivation, Ji Lingqing's intoxication vanished in an instant.
He stared at Ye Yu in disbelief.
He understood very well—if not for the help of the immortal in front of him, he would never have been able to break through here.
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior! If you ever need anything in the future, feel free to ask. I will not hesitate to give my life!" Ji Lingqing’s voice was firm and resounding, filled with sincerity.
However, his face, still swollen, paired with those words, created an oddly comical image.
Ye Yu laughed, “You’re too kind. Next time, let’s drink together again!”
The familiar tone warmed Ji Lingqing's heart.
He hesitated but decided to give a word of caution. "Senior, please be cautious about Zhong Qin. She once killed an Immortal King. Though she was injured afterward and her cultivation dropped, a dying camel is still larger than a horse. If she truly wants to kill you, you should still be wary!"
"Injured and dropped in realm? What happened?" Ye Yu’s expression became serious.
In the Dream Realm, during the Celestial Realm’s great calamity, Zhong Qin had already reached the Immortal King realm.
Even if she hadn’t reached that level in reality, the fact that she could kill an Immortal King meant that she was at least at the Immortal Monarch level.
How could someone with that cultivation have been injured and fallen in cultivation?
Could it be that another Immortal King had acted against her?
Ji Lingqing explained, “It is said that after Zhong Qin killed an Immortal King, she was severely injured. Some immortals in the Celestial Realm, trying to take the Great Wild Bloodvine for themselves, ambushed her. Zhong Qin fought back, breaking through the drop in her cultivation and killed them all. I didn’t believe it at first, but when I saw Zhong Qin recently, I noticed her immortal power fluctuated greatly, much weaker than before. It seems like the rumors are true.”
Ye Yu nodded slightly.
That makes sense.
In the Dream Realm, Ye Yu had been there to protect Zhong Qin, which prevented her from being injured and falling in cultivation.
But in reality, before the Celestial Realm’s great calamity, Ye Yu hadn’t ascended, and even hadn’t transmigrated yet.
Zhong Qin, alone and vulnerable, faced many opponents, so it was only natural for her to be injured.
But that wasn’t a big deal. As long as the Great Wild Bloodvine existed, it would only be a matter of time before she regained her peak.
Thinking about this, Ye Yu felt somewhat reassured.
Ji Lingqing, with good intentions, couldn’t help but remind him again, “No matter what, be careful.”
However, Ye Yu was completely unfazed, unconcerned as he replied, “Don’t worry, we are Immortal companions. How could she want to kill me?”
