Chapter 888: Chapter 398: Return to the Nanming Domain Chapter 888: Chapter 398: Return to the Nanming Domain After the three of them had left, only a few people remained, including Yue Qiniang and Luo Luo.

At that moment,

Lin Jing turned his gaze to the few people most familiar to him, finally resting his eyes on Yue Qiniang before speaking:

“Qiniang…”

“You have always been managing Yue Tian Island and Li Yan Island.

With so many affairs on these islands, you have had little time left for cultivation.

You really have had a hard time.”

Yue Qiniang shook her head and looked at Lin Jing:

“Not at all!”

“Now, this is my home.

Here, I live a very happy life.”

Hearing this, Lin Jing instantly fell silent.

To him, the Qingyuan Sword Sect of the past, the Nanshan Market, or even the current Li Yan Island and Yue Tian Island might only be temporary stays.

Ever since Yue Qiniang had drifted to the Thousand Islands Domain, she had rarely left, and as Flame Island gradually developed, her sense of belonging grew stronger and stronger.

...

The more one invests, the deeper the affection – that’s the principle.

After a brief silence, Lin Jing spoke again:

“During this period, delegate whatever responsibilities you can to your subordinates.”

“In a few days, I will be making a trip to the Nanming Domain, and after I return from there, I will start helping you improve your cultivation.”

“In the future, I may not often be in the Thousand Islands Domain.

Once I am gone, you will manage everything here, so your cultivation must not fall behind.”

Hearing this, Yue Qiniang didn’t refuse but instead said directly:

“As an Elder of the Elixir Alliance, it’s only natural that you can’t always stay in the Thousand Islands Domain.”

“Rest assured, Island Master, after you leave, I will take good care of Yue Tian Island and Li Yan Island.

I will certainly manage them well for you.”

Lin Jing nodded and then continued:

“Also…”

“I plan to take Qing Qing and Lin Jue to the Elixir Alliance.”

Upon hearing this, Li Qingqing turned her head, looking at Lin Jing with confusion.

Lin Jue, too, puzzled, asked:

“Take me and Sister Qingqing to the Elixir Alliance?”

Lin Jing nodded and then explained:

“Upon my promotion to Elder of the Elixir Alliance, I received two spots to join the Alliance.

Such an opportunity must not be missed; I want you both to enter the Elixir Alliance to properly cultivate Alchemy Techniques.”

After finishing, Lin Jing looked at them and asked:

“What do you two think?”

After Lin Jing finished speaking, Lin Jue first looked towards her companion, Ye Yun, then asked:

“Brother…”

“If we go to the Elixir Alliance, what about Ye Yun?

Should we leave him in the Thousand Islands Domain?”

Not just Lin Jue, but Ye Yun had wanted to speak up moments earlier, except Lin Jue had beaten him to it.

After Lin Jue finished speaking, Ye Yun turned his head, glanced at Lin Jue, and then nervously looked towards Lin Jing; his hand, out of nervousness, clenched into a fist.

These two childhood friends, harboring mutual affection for each other, had already been apart for too long.

Now, just as they had been reunited, Lin Jing was arranging for Lin Jue to go to the Elixir Alliance.

Ye Yun didn’t want to be separated from Lin Jue, but this was his master’s arrangement.

If his master truly intended for him to stay and guard the Thousand Islands Domain, even if he felt reluctant, he would have no complaints.

Because Ye Yun trusted his master unconditionally.

Whatever choice Lin Jing made, there must be good reason behind it, and Ye Yun would carry it through with determination.

Lin Jing saw the two of them and couldn’t help but curl the corners of his mouth, clearly aware of their inner thoughts.

With a slight smile, Lin Jing then turned to Lin Jue and asked:

“What do you think?”

“Should Ye Yun stay in the Thousand Islands Domain, or should he go to the Elixir Alliance with you all?”

“Of course, he should go to the Elixir Alliance…” Lin Jue replied without any hesitation.

But as she finished speaking, she realized something was amiss.

At that moment, Lin Jing’s face was full of smiles looking at her, but the smile seemed to carry a hint of mischief.

Then, Lin Jue looked around at the others.

Aside from Lin Jue, whose face was now slightly red, everyone present—Sister Qingqing, her brother Master Li, and Yue Qiniang—were all smiling, looking at her.

Even Luo Luo, who had the least interaction with them, seemed to have understood something, looking at the two with a realization.

Realizing this, Lin Jue’s face turned even redder, and she complained:

“Brother…”

“You tricked me!”

Lin Jing simply ignored Lin Jue’s remark and said with a smile:

“Since you’ve already spoken up, how can I possibly keep you two apart?”

“Of course, Ye Yun will go with you to the Elixir Alliance.

Even though he can’t join the Elixir Alliance, he can still undertake some missions on behalf of the Alliance in the Alliance City.”

“What’s more, it’s near the Extreme Emperor Mountain Range, which is perfect for training; I will send Ye Yun there for a while when the time comes.”

After finishing, Lin Jing looked towards Ye Yun and asked:

“What do you think?”

Ye Yun’s cheeks were still flush at this point.

Seeing Lin Jing seeking his opinion, Ye Yun quickly bowed his head, trying to hide the redness, while clasping his hands together, and said to Lin Jing:

“I will follow whatever Master commands!”

This matter was resolved just like that.

After arranging for the three of them, Lin Jing then turned his head to Li Tangyu and asked:

“Brother Li, what about you?”

“Do you have any plans?

Do you think about leaving?”

Li Tangyu looked at Lin Jing and nodded:

“Indeed, I have thought about leaving, but I am not going to the Eastern Spirit Realm.

The place I want to go to is the Northern Devil Region.”

“The Northern Devil Region…”
