In the hall.
The Golden Core elders, deacons, and Foundation Establishment guest elders looked at each other. They did not know what had happened to make the True Treasure Pavilion leave. The cave abode was left behind by Old Ancestor Blood Crocodile. Even if they did not take the risk, those who stayed in Cloud Mountain Parlour had a chance to obtain the treasures left behind.
After all, the True Treasure Pavilion was in this business.
Shen Ping was overjoyed. Initially, he was still thinking of quickly gathering the conditions for Matchmaker Ceng of Spring Garden. If he could not leave with the True Treasure Pavilion, he would leave with the Spring Garden.
He did not expect the True Treasure Pavilion to decide to leave so quickly. There were still two years until the collapse of the Cloud Mountain that Bai Yuying’s younger brother mentioned. If the True Treasure Pavilion wanted to leave, no one would dare to stop them.
“In the first batch, you can send your family or friends first. The elders and deacons can have three spots. There are two spots for guest elders. There’s one spot for the others! Go back and prepare. The flying ship will set off in five days.” The purple-robed elder said again.
The voice resounded. When Shen Ping came back to his senses, he was already standing in the courtyard. He looked at Guest Elder Cui beside him. He hurriedly cupped his hands and asked, “Senior Cui, what did Elder mean just now?”
…..
Guest Elder Cui lowered his voice and replied, “This first batch is probably a test. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have specially reminded us to send our family or friends first. I don’t know the exact reason, but don’t worry. The defense of the True Treasure Pavilion’s flying ship is extremely strong. Nothing will happen easily.”
Shen Ping’s heart sank. He forced a smile and asked, “Senior Cui, do you plan to send your family away?”
Guest Elder Cui glanced at Shen Ping. “This is an order from the Nascent Soul elder. Besides, since the cave abode has changed, it’s safer to leave early.” He left the True Treasure Pavilion.
Shen Ping did not know how he returned to the small courtyard in Qinghe Alley. Two spots. Who would leave and who would stay? Moreover, even if they left, they might not be safe. However, just as Guest Elder Cui had said, the earlier it was, the safer it was.
He did not return to the talisman making room. Instead, he walked to the quiet room and sat cross-legged. He fell into deep thought for a long time.
Shen Ping still did not make a decision when the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the small courtyard.
At night, w.a.n.g Yun made a sumptuous meal and stood at the door of the quiet room. “Husband, the food is ready.” He walked out of the quiet room. His gaze was calm but tired. His meticulous wife noticed it and hurriedly went forward to ask gently, “Husband, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing. Go and call Fellow Daoist Yu over for a meal.”
“Yes.”
In the s.p.a.cious hall, there was a simple table with spirit rice, beast meat porridge, rare fruits, spirit wine, roasted meat, and green bamboo leaves. They emitted a fragrance and were delicious.
However, w.a.n.g Yun, Bai Yuying, Luo Qing, and Yu Yan all looked at Shen Ping. They all noticed Shen Ping’s silence. Time pa.s.sed slowly. The steam from the spirit rice beast meat porridge gradually dissipated.
Only then did Shen Ping say, “In five days, the True Treasure Pavilion’s flying ship will transport a group of cultivators away. I have two spots.”
As soon as these words were spoken, his wife and concubines came to a realization.
“Husband, are we leaving together?” w.a.n.g Yun asked.
Shen Ping shook his head. “I’m not leaving yet. I might have to wait until the next batch.”
“Husband, Yun’er wants to accompany you. I’m not going anywhere!” w.a.n.g Yun said without hesitation. There was no fluctuation in her eyes. In her eyes, her husband was everything and the safest place.
Bai Yuying bit the corner of her lips and said, “Husband, I’m not leaving either!”
When she saw Shen Ping’s gaze move over, Luo Qing smiled lightly and said, “Hl listen to my husband.”
Yu Yan crossed her arms and smiled without saying anything.
Shen Ping sighed helplessly. “Two must go.”
No matter what the reason was, the Nascent Soul elder’s notification was equivalent to an order. Moreover, it was not easy for him to have the chance to leave. He didn’t want to miss it. After all, he had to leave Cloud Mountain Parlour in two years no matter what.
In his heart, his wife, w.a.n.g Yun, had to leave. He was not even confident that he could leave safely, let alone a mortal wife without spiritual roots. There was only one spot left. Should he send Bai Yuying away or Yu Yan?
Shen Ping had not thought it through. He knew that Yu Yan would definitely not leave, but it was this that made him hesitate.
With the current situation in the market, the possibility of something happening to the first batch of people who left the Cloud Mountain Swamp was relatively low. So many Nascent Soul elders of the sects had just gathered. If something really happened, the various sects would definitely use all kinds of methods to leave without hesitation.
He watched as his wife and concubines fell silent. Shen Ping squeezed out a smile. “Let’s eat first. There’s still time to consider.”
After the meal, he did not go to the talisman making room again. Instead, he went to the bedroom early. His wife, w.a.n.g Yun, went forward to undress Shen Ping. His clothes were taken off.
It was rare for the bedroom to be quiet. Only the sound of even breathing could be heard.
On the left and right sides, the pink and purple undergarments of his wife and concubine were bright and beautiful. Luo Qing’s white undergarments hung on her jade neck, and her brows were filled with coldness. Even if she simply sat there cross-legged, she was like a green bamboo in the forest that could not be ignored.
“Yun’er. You have to apply more fragrance powder these few days—”
Before he could finish speaking, w.a.n.g Yun could not help but cry. “Husband, I’m not leaving!”
Shen Ping said seriously, “Be obedient. I don’t want anything to happen to you, and I don’t want to see anything happen to you. Do you understand? The Nascent Soul cultivators of the various large sects are here, there might be chaos in the future. I’m only a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refinement. Only by seeing you leave safely can I feel at ease.” Speaking of this, he slowly took a deep breath and looked to his left. “Ying’er, you have to apply more too.”
Bai Yuying was stunned and could not help but say, “Husband, Senior Yu…”
“You go first!” His voice was firm.
Bai Yuying’s eyes were blurry as she hugged Shen Ping’s arm tightly. “Husband, Ying’cr won’t leave!”
The night pa.s.sed uneventfully. Shen Ping hugged his wife and concubine and rested quietly for the night.
However, in the next five days, he had s.e.x with his wife and concubine almost day and night. He didn’t want to have any leisure time because once he was free, he couldn’t help but think of his wife and concubine dying. That worry seemed to have taken root in the bottom of his heart.

At the edge of the market, the Golden Core elders, deacons, and Foundation Establishment guest elders were all gathered beside the True Treasure Pavilion’s flying ship. They watched as their family or friends boarded the flying ship one after another.
“The destination of the flying ship this time is the main station of our True Treasure Pavilion in the Wei Kingdom, Qingyang City. That’s a large cultivation city. It’s prosperous and lively. It’s far from what Cloud Mountain Parlour can compare to. The other sects that have entered the Wei Kingdom have all chosen to camp in Qingyang City.”
Hearing this, Shen Ping suddenly noticed that disciples from the Danxia Sect, the Acacia Faction, and even the disciples of the Luosha Demonic Valley were boarding one after another.
He understood. This time, not only did the True Treasure Pavilion send a group of cultivators to test the waters, but the other sects also had the intention.
He felt a little more at ease. He looked at his wife and concubine beside him and instructed, “When you reach Qingyang City, the True Treasure Pavilion will temporarily arrange a residence for you. Stay inside well. It won’t be long before I go over!”
w.a.n.g Yun and Bai Yuying wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, their eyes filled with reluctance.
“Husband!”
“You must come!”
They boarded the flying ship.
w.a.n.g Yun and Bai Yuying stood at the edge of the wooden railing and shouted. He looked at their beautiful figures. Shen Ping was stunned. All the details of his life over the years suddenly flashed past his eyes. He suddenly had an urge to go up and bring them along, but in the end, he held back.
“Take care of yourself!” He shouted with all his might.
Amidst the shouts, a trace of tears fell from the corner of his eyes. It was so conspicuous under the scorching sun. Love grows over time. They had been together day and night for six to seven years. He was a human after all. Humans were not plants. How could they be heartless?
When w.a.n.g Yun saw this scene at the edge of the flying ship, she smiled until her face was covered in tears. Until the flying ship activated and escaped into the sky, she was still looking at that spot. Even though her tears had dried, she was still smiling. “So you really have me in your heart!”
The moment the voice sounded, the virtual frame that belonged to w.a.n.g Yun shook for a long time. The deep silver light was dazzling, but in the depths of the light, a golden light suddenly burst out like a sun, instantly drowning the entire silver.
For a moment, a golden light flashed. All the values disappeared in an instant, and when they reappeared, they were brand new..
