Chapter 987: Visiting the Old Place of Cangluan Mountain (2)

Editor: Henyee Translations

“Su Yun…” Chen Jie finally mustered her courage and told Su Yun what Zhao Guofeng had told her back then. She did not know what Su Yun’s attitude towards this matter was, but she did not expect Su Yun to nod calmly after he finished speaking.

Chen Jie realized that Su Yun had already thought of this. After all, her sudden suggestion to travel with him was very sudden. The change in Snowball made Su Yun realize that what Feng Jiwen had said previously made sense. Cultivation was purer about genetic changes. Therefore, the inheritance of genes might really allow Earth to give birth to stronger existences.

However, this was only part of it. The other reason was that Su Yun had always had feelings for Chen Jie. Even though it was not as deep as Xu Jiajia, there was still a gap. That relationship had sprouted here a few years ago. Today was only an outcome. The curtain fell, and the fire gradually dimmed. In the silent underground forest, there were only faint sounds occasionally.

That night, Chen Jie and Su Yun finally got together. At dawn, the bonfire had already been completely extinguished. Looking at the sleeping Su Yun, Chen Jie gently stroked his face.

Chen Jie wished that time would stop at this moment. But she knew very well that this man carried a heavy responsibility. He was the one and only Dao Ancestor. Therefore, to Chen Jie, what made her feel the most blissful was perhaps seeing Su Yun sleeping soundly beside her.

…

When the sun rose, the two of them walked out of the underground forest hand in hand. After that night, Chen Jie could finally hold Su Yun’s hand in relief and not let go. Since they were at Cangluan Mountain, Su Yun did not forget to go to the temple built by the three geneticists to take a look.

The ancient temple, the Buddha sitting in the courtyard, and the continuous Buddhist chanting in the house made this place seem like an otherworldly place. It was obvious that there were no people coming and going in this place, so the temple door was wide open.

The three geneticists wore kasayas and meditated in front of the Buddha statue. When they heard the voice behind them, one of them looked over in confusion. His gaze stopped on Su Yun for a few seconds before his eyes widened and he suddenly jumped up from the ground. “Dao… Dao Ancestor?”

The geneticist sitting at the side did not turn around. He only sighed and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? How can we see the Dao Ancestor just because we want to? Do your morning class seriously and don’t spout nonsense!”

“No, it’s the Dao Ancestor. The Dao Ancestor is here!”

The two geneticists opened their eyes in confusion and turned around. In the next second, they stood up in shock, their faces filled with disbelief. The three geneticists cupped their fists and bowed to Su Yun. Clearly, they had deliberately learned this etiquette. It was enough to show their sincerity. “Greetings, Dao Ancestor!”

Back then, the Dharma names of the three geneticists were set by Su Yun. After obtaining the Dharma names, the geneticists stayed in the temple and cultivated in peace. They had hoped more than once that Su Yun would come one day, but they knew that Su Yun’s identity was special. Such hopes were naturally slim.

Su Yun smiled and got the three of them to get up. Following that, they excitedly showed Su Yun around the temple. The temple was not big, but it was clean and tidy. There were golden Buddhas in the temple, and even the air was filled with the smell of sandalwood.

When the entire Earth was facing a disaster, the three geneticists actually wanted to help. However, they were not from Great Xia and could not enter cultivation. Therefore, other than praying in front of the Buddha, there was really no other way.

The current era was different. The first series of geneticists like them had long been eliminated. Therefore, they were not even qualified to go to the battlefield, let alone contribute their strength in this disaster. Other than cultivating, the three of them would also eagerly pay attention to the news reports.

When they knew that the Dao Ancestor had taken action and helped Earth survive the crisis, they were happy from the bottom of their hearts. Under the enthusiastic invitation of them, Su Yun and Chen Jie had a vegetarian meal on the mountain. Although it was plain, Su Yun ate with relish.

What made him feel gratified was that these three geneticists now had the appearance of eminent monks. They understood Buddhism and shed their hostility. When Su Yun and Chen Jie left, the three geneticists personally sent them down the mountain. They watched Su Yun’s car reluctantly as it gradually left the place. This day was enough for them to remember for a long time.

On the way out of Cangluan Mountain, Su Yun smiled at Chen Jie and asked, “Are you sure you want to leave just like that?”

Chen Jie nodded. Although she was a little reluctant, she knew that Su Yun did not belong to her alone. Zhao Guofeng’s words lingered in Chen Jie’s ears, constantly reminding her. “We hope that the Dao Ancestor can reproduce and bring stronger cultivators to Earth. Because everyone’s genes are different, we also hope that the Dao Ancestor can have children with others.”

Chen Jie naturally knew that the others Zhao Guofeng was talking about were Xu Jiajia, Zhou Xiaoxiao, and the others. This naturally made Chen Jie feel extremely reluctant, but she also knew very well that the world had already changed drastically. She could not expect Su Yun to belong to her alone.

When the car arrived at Wuyi City, Chen Jie alighted at a place.

Su Yun was still a little puzzled about this until he saw Xu Jiajia’s figure in the rearview mirror.

Chen Jie came in front of Xu Jiajia and nodded gently at her. “Sister, the helicopter that Chief Zhao arranged is behind. You can return to the Heavenly Cauldron at any time.”

Chen Jie nodded. She looked at Xu Jiajia uneasily. She wanted to say something, but before she could say anything, Xu Jiajia smiled and shook her head. “Sister, I understand what you want to say. However, I know very well that Su Yun will not only belong to me.”

After saying this, Xu Jiajia walked towards Su Yun’s car. Looking at the conversation between the two through the rearview mirror, Su Yun was immediately confused. Clearly, the two of them had already decided beforehand. Otherwise, Xu Jiajia would not have suddenly appeared here.

As the car door opened, Xu Jiajia sat in the front passenger seat and smiled at Su Yun. “Why? Are you unhappy to see me after staying with Sister Chen for a few days?”

Su Yun hurriedly shook his head. “I just don’t understand. Why are you here?”

Xu Jiajia pretended to look ahead. “I won’t tell you. Hurry up and leave. I also have somewhere I want you to accompany me.”

Su Yun roughly understood something. Then, he smiled helplessly and drove forward. What Su Yun did not know was that after Chen Jie got into the helicopter, she turned on her phone. The interface was still in a group of five.

Lü Hongya: “Sister Zhou, I want Su Yun to accompany me to the Qin City for a walk. Will Su Yun be willing?”

Zhou Xiaoxiao said, “Of course, Sister, don’t worry!”

…

As the helicopter slowly rose into the air and left, Chen Jie’s eyes kept searching for Su Yun’s car on the ground. Although she had been with Su Yun for a few days, in her opinion, this time was still too short.

If Xu Jiajia had not taken the initiative to chat with her before they set off, Chen Jie might not have had the courage to do so. She still remembered what Xu Jiajia had said at that time. “Sister, Chief Zhao should have told you about the genetic inheritance, right? I’m looking for you for no other reason than to ask you if you like Su Yun.”

Chen Jie hesitated and finally nodded. Unexpectedly, Xu Jiajia smiled. “In that case, I have nothing to worry about. I only hope that you will approach Su Yun not just for the genetic inheritance, but for your feelings for Su Yun.”

It was only now that Chen Jie truly understood the meaning of this sentence. Her gaze followed the speeding car and gradually disappeared at the end.
