“Return to the Fishing Sea Tower?”

This answer was unexpected for Jiang Wang.

In his opinion, no matter where Zhu Biqiong went next, whether she stayed in Qingyang Town, remained in Tianfu City, or even wandered the world, she should not choose to return to the Fishing Sea Tower.

Back to that place that had hurt her so deeply.

Jiang Wang was a little anxious: “Is there anything in that place worth your lingering attachment?”

Zhu Biqiong lowered her eyes and said softly, “My master is dead, Ji Shaoqing is also dead, no one will target me anymore. I grew up there since I was a child, I really… don’t know where else to go.”

She did hope to be persuaded to stay, but not for this kind of reason for staying.

It shouldn’t be “for your own good,” or “considering you,” but rather – “I want you to stay.”

Unfortunately, Jiang Wang didn’t understand at the moment.

Or rather, his young heart had no more room for him to understand.

“I killed Ji Shaoqing, your former fellow disciples won’t treat you well.” Jiang Wang said earnestly, “Moreover, you have already been expelled from the sect.”

“No one has a reason to hate me, because I haven’t harmed anyone,” Zhu Biqiong responded calmly. “Moreover, you have already helped me complete the cleansing of my sins. Since I am innocent, the Fishing Sea Tower should not expel me anymore. Even if they are unwilling in sentiment, they cannot do so in principle.”

Jiang Wang looked at Zhu Biqiong with some surprise.

He hadn’t expected Zhu Biqiong to be able to say something like that.

This statement was somewhat counterintuitive, but objectively speaking, things could indeed be seen in this light. In most cases, the Fishing Sea Tower would certainly respect its rules. A girl like Zhu Biqiong, who had harmed no one, her tragic circumstances would naturally dissolve much of the animosity against her.

The question was… how could Zhu Biqiong cut through the emotional fog and see things so calmly?

Was this still the same foolish girl who had first met him and foolishly taken out a mirage pearl to exchange for a secret technique? Was this still the young woman who had been completely deceived by Hu Shaomeng?

The reason he hadn’t initially asked Zhu Biqiong to stay in Qingyang Town also had its own reasons.

At Tianya Platform, he wanted Zhu Biqiong to stay in Qingyang Town because at that time, she had completely lost her cultivation and could live a stable life as an ordinary person there.

But now, he didn’t know what Zhu Biqiong had experienced in the Tianfu Secret Realm. She had surprisingly reappeared with inner mansion cultivation.

What reason would he have to ask her to go to Qingyang Town again?

There was no way he could treat Zhu Biqiong like he treated Fan Qingqing, and Zhu Biqiong had benefited from misfortune, achieving inner mansion cultivation at such a young age. She naturally had her future, and staying in Qingyang Town would only be a waste of her talent.

What he was actually thinking was whether he could find a way to get Zhu Biqiong to join the Green Brand, hold an official position in Qi State, and have her own goals to strive for and a bright future.

Of course, the premise was that Zhu Biqiong herself was willing.

But now Zhu Biqiong wanted to return to the Fishing Sea Tower…

And Jiang Wang found that he couldn’t find a single reason to persuade her.

After considering for a while, Jiang Wang said, “In principle, I respect any decision you make, but I still hope you can think it through. Although you grew up in the Fishing Sea Tower, you don’t truly understand that place… In fact, if you are willing, you can have a better development in Qi State. I have some friends here…”

Zhu Biqiong interrupted Jiang Wang for the first time: “I have already owed you so much kindness, how can I trouble you further?”

“What trouble are you talking about? We are good friends, aren’t we?” Jiang Wang felt a surge of annoyance from somewhere unknown.

“Yes, we are good friends. Good friends help each other, not hinder each other.” At this point, the emotions in Zhu Biqiong’s eyes had dissipated, and she was the calmer one. She said with a light smile, “I’ve decided to return to the Fishing Sea Tower. I’m too foolish, I can only stay in a familiar place, otherwise I’ll easily get lost. I wasn’t diligent enough before, but I will work hard in the future. Just wish me well!”

Her attitude was so firm, her will was so resolute.

This girl was different from before. Jiang Wang clearly realized this.

But his eyes, his ears, his spiritual senses, all told him that this person was indeed Zhu Biqiong.

It was only normal for there to be some changes after experiencing life and death.

“Alright…” Jiang Wang was not the kind of person who would forcibly interfere with a friend’s free will, so he could only compromise: “If you are sure that is the best choice for you, then do it.”

Zhu Biqiong said, “Not everyone can choose the best path in life… but let’s try not to regret it.”

Jiang Wang didn’t understand. He felt a faint, inexplicable sense of melancholy, but more than that, joy.

The joy of surviving a desperate situation.

He walked a few steps forward, looking at the clear reflection in the Full Moon Pool: “Regardless, I am very grateful for this place.”

Zhu Biqiong looked at his back, her eyes instantly becoming incredibly soft, and said softly, “Let me tell you a secret, tell your friends not to come to the Tianfu Secret Realm in the future.”

When Jiang Wang turned around, her eyes had returned to calmness.

“What’s wrong? Do you know of any changes there?” Jiang Wang asked.

“I don’t quite remember what happened there, but I vaguely know…” Zhu Biqiong said, “There is nothing there anymore, only a mirage remains. Participating in it will yield no more gains.”

This was a secret that should not have been told.

But she still told him, out of complete trust in Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang was stunned.

He naturally realized what this statement meant.

The Tianfu Secret Realm was gone!

Thinking back to the legend of the Tianfu Secret Realm…

The Tianfu Secret Realm was not a natural secret realm born of heaven and earth.

It was a complete divine ability seed, the famous divine ability of the old man Tianfu – Mirror Flower Water Moon!

For some unknown reason, it was able to be peeled off, for some unknown reason, it could exist independently, for some unknown reason, it appeared there, for some unknown reason, it persisted.

Now, for some unknown reason, it had disappeared.

Had it brought about Zhu Biqiong’s achievement?

Did Zhu Biqiong possess Mirror Flower Water Moon?

Was the divine ability of Mirror Flower Water Moon now controlled by Zhu Biqiong, and therefore, only a mirage remained here?

Lu Zongxiao must be going crazy!

If the Qi State knew this news, they would not easily let Zhu Biqiong leave.

As soon as this thought occurred to Jiang Wang, he immediately said, “If you are determined to return to the Fishing Sea Tower, then go back as soon as possible. While the Town Sea Alliance has been newly established and no one has the energy to pay attention to you, quickly rejoin the sect.”

Zhu Biqiong glanced at him, a very light, faint glance, seemingly leaving no trace, not profound at all.

Then she turned directly around: “Okay.”

She stepped forward and walked out.

Jiang Wang quietly thought for a few breaths, then quickly walked ahead, stepping into the covered corridor before her, and called out to Lu Zongxiao from a distance: “Brother Lu, I know what’s going on!”

Lu Zongxiao smiled: “Oh?”

Without waiting for him to inquire about Zhu Biqiong who was walking by, Jiang Wang already put his arm around his shoulder and pulled him aside with great familiarity: “Brother Lu, it’s like this…”

Zhu Biqiong quietly walked past them, still wearing Jiang Wang’s green robe.

It was just a very ordinary robe, Jiang Wang had several others of the same style in his storage box.

Jiang Wang didn’t pay any attention.

Zhu Biqiong certainly remembered, but she didn’t want to return it.
