The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities

Chapter 495: Chapter 495: Is Waiting All We Can Do?

Han Jing remained silent; she understood what the Ghost Ancestor meant.

No matter which faction had taken Su Yu, they were people she could not afford to provoke right now. Perhaps if the Ghost Ancestor helped, she could take him away, but that wouldn’t assist Su Yu—instead, it would harm him. Even with the Ghost Ancestor’s help, they were still too weak to contend with a faction.

So going to the Spirit Cultivation Realm to find Su Yu would be nothing less than seeking death.

”Thank you, elder, for your guidance. I would still ask you to take some effort in finding him.” Even if she couldn’t bring him back, at least she would know his whereabouts.

At least she would know he was still alive.

”Rest assured, I will do my utmost to help you find him and will inform you as soon as there is news.” The Ghost Ancestor did not shirk; Yun Peng once saved Lan Ling’s life, and he had always thought highly of that lad—definitely not someone ordinary. One day, he might reach a realm they had pursued all their lives but could never attain.

So this little favor was no trouble for him.

”Then do we have to just sit and wait now?” Lan Ling slumped over the table, muttering.

The Ghost Ancestor gave him a hard knock on the head: ”Wait for what! If you don’t seize the time for cultivation, you’ll end up dead not knowing how you died! I can’t possibly be your bodyguard twelve hours a day following you around!”

Previously, with his reputation and Su Yu backing him, and holding the Ghost Realm Spirit Worm, few in the Spirit Cultivation Realm dared to provoke him. But everything was different now; the Beiming Pearl was lost, Yun Zidu was in trouble, and the entire Spirit Cultivation Realm was in chaos. No one knew what would happen next. If Lan Ling didn’t cultivate properly, there would truly be no one to help him when danger struck again!

This time Lan Ling didn’t retort but lowered his head dejectedly.

It’s said it’s nice to have the shade of a big tree; now that the big tree has fallen, they all have to work hard.

”Master, are you busy lately?” Lan Ling suddenly looked at the Ghost Ancestor ingratiatingly, then subtly signaled Han Jing with his eyes, and Han Jing immediately understood what Lan Ling meant.

”If the elder is not busy, how about staying in the Capital City for a while?” Han Jing looked at the Ghost Ancestor, full of anticipation.

The Ghost Ancestor, quirky in temper, was always a free spirit. Yet, being older now, he also felt some loneliness, actually taking pleasure in having the youngsters bustle around him. Seeing the eager looks from the two juniors, a rare soft feeling stirred inside him, but he was an elder and couldn’t afford to lose face.

So, the Ghost Ancestor coughed lightly, pretended to contemplate for a bit, and then reluctantly nodded, ”Since the situation in the Spirit Cultivation Realm is unclear and there’s no news of Yun Peng, I’m not sure if anyone else will come looking for trouble. I’ll stay here for a while!”

”Thank you, elder, for your gracious presence! Please make yourself comfortable at the Prince Yu Mansion, and do not hesitate to ask if you need anything. Lan Ling, I remember there’s quite a bit of good wine in Baihua Garden. Go and fetch some for the elder! I’ll go tell the kitchen to prepare a welcoming feast for the elder!” Han Jing immediately instructed Mu Jin to have the kitchen prepare wine and dishes and personally arranged accommodations for the Ghost Ancestor.

Once Lan Ling brought back the wine, Han Jing pulled him aside and asked, ”How confident are you in convincing your master to guide me in cultivation?”
