The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2505 Thoughts, Rejection

After the giant blood-colored monster bird flew away, the airspace gradually returned to calm.

The blood-colored gas that was originally surging in the sky gradually dissipated, as if it had never appeared.

The sunlight that had been blocked by the strange bird began to shine again, illuminating the land that had been thrown into chaos.

However, the blood-red ribbon in the sky was still floating in the air, but at this moment there was no more gas coming out of it, as if it had lost its former vitality.

The faces of everyone who witnessed all this were extremely solemn at this moment.

Their eyes followed the direction where the giant blood-colored monster bird disappeared, and their hearts were filled with confusion and anxiety.

Although no one knew what the giant blood-colored bird was going to do, everyone knew that the appearance of such a monster would definitely not be a good thing.

Everyone was silent for a long time, wondering what impact this would have on the future situation.

"Why do I feel that everything that happened just now was not the work of the demons?" After being silent for a long while, Master Qinglian said in a deep voice.

Her voice was particularly clear in the silent air, and her eyes revealed a hint of thought.

She had a certain understanding of the demons' style of doing things, but judging from what happened just now, all this was very different from the methods she knew of the demons.

"It certainly doesn't seem like the method of the demons. As for what it is, we need to investigate carefully to find out." Matthew shook his head and said.

He frowned and looked into the distance with deep eyes. His thoughts were as complicated as the surrounding mountains and forests.

He knew very well that there must be a huge secret behind this series of abnormal phenomena, and he had to find out the truth as soon as possible.

They had discussed the next plan in the cave before. Although the appearance of the giant blood-colored bird was a bit unexpected, they couldn't easily change the plan because of this little episode, otherwise it might affect the direction of the entire situation.

"Go with the plan. We will leave after resting here for a few days." Matthew said after hesitating for a while.

His voice was deep and powerful, with an unquestionable firmness.

Naturally, Mr. Qinglian would have no objection to this.

A secret room was immediately arranged for everyone to rest.

Everyone walked towards their own secret rooms with their own thoughts, preparing to have a good rest and recharge their energy for the next journey.

Just when Matthew was about to enter the secret room to rest, Wu Yanshuang called him.

Wu Yanshuang's expression was a bit complicated at this time. After hesitating for a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind. He looked at Matthew and said, "Senior Ma, can you walk with me?"

Her voice was soft and pleading, her eyes stayed on Matthew for a moment, then she lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.

After hearing this, Matthew thought about it for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

Then, Wu Yanshuang took Matthew and flew towards a nearby mountain.

Their figures shuttled quickly in the air and soon arrived at the top of the mountain.

When the two landed on the top of the mountain, Wu Yanshuang did not look at Matthew, but stood quietly there looking into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

Her eyes were a little blurry, as if she was looking through the forest and into the distant past. Matthew did not speak, but stood beside Wu Yanshuang with his hands behind his back.

He knew that Wu Yanshuang must have something to say, and he was willing to give her time and space.

"Thank you for saving my life earlier." After a moment's silence, Wu Yanshuang spoke first.

"Fellow Daoist Qinglian has already given the reward, so there's no need to thank me." Matthew said calmly.

His words were brief, without too much small talk or courtesy.

He guessed what Wu Yanshuang might say and deliberately acted a little indifferent.

In his opinion, those who practice Taoism value opportunity and strength, and too many emotional entanglements will only become obstacles on the road to progress.

"Master said that she has told you everything about me." Wu Yanshuang took a deep breath, turned to look at Matthew and said softly.

There was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in her eyes, but also a hint of expectation.

"Fairy Wu has outstanding looks and extraordinary temperament. Anyone who sees her will feel pity for her." Matthew said slowly.

He looked into the distance with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

His words seemed to be praising Wu Yanshuang, but beneath these calm words, his true thoughts deep in his heart were hidden.

But when his words fell into Wu Yanshuang's ears, she frowned slightly.

"Since I started my journey of cultivating immortals, I have experienced many things and witnessed many separations and deaths. To put it nicely, I am determined to cultivate the Tao and do not want to be distracted by other things. To put it bluntly, I am just selfish."

Matthew turned his head and looked at Wu Yanshuang beside him and said softly.

His eyes met Wu Yanshuang briefly, then looked away.

He really doesn't have the energy to think about love affairs right now. The current situation is complicated and no one knows what will happen next.

"In this world of immortal cultivation, the strong are respected. Only by constantly improving one's own strength can one survive in this world where the strong prey on the weak. I still have very important things to do, and I don't want to be constrained by someone I care about. Let me consider your safety when making my plans."

Matthew continued, a look of determination in his eyes.

It can be said that he is selfish, but he understands that this is a choice he must make in order to survive in this cruel world of cultivating immortals.

Wu Yanshuang felt mixed emotions after hearing what Matthew said.

She understood what Matthew meant, but she also felt a little lost.

During these long years, she has always longed for someone who can truly understand her and accompany her, but the reality now is so cruel.

She was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "It is Yan Shuang's blessing that the senior can think this way. I just hope that in the future, if the senior encounters danger, Yan Shuang can also do his best to help."

Matthew nodded slightly and said, "I'm glad you're so thoughtful. We still have a long way to go and the future is full of unknowns. You should take a good rest and recover your strength. If there's any need, we can discuss it again in the future."

On this mountain peak, the two fell into silence for a while.

The mountain breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, as if telling the ruthlessness and cruelty of the world of immortal cultivation.

Wu Yanshuang looked into the distance, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

The sun gradually set in the west, and the sky was dyed orange-red.

Matthew looked at the sky and said softly, "It's getting late, we should go back."

Wu Yanshuang nodded gently and said, "Okay."

The two walked side by side, remaining silent all the way.

When they returned to the cave, it was already silent.

Everyone was resting and preparing for the next journey.

Matthew and Wu Yanshuang did not disturb anyone else and went straight back to their room.

Matthew sat on the edge of the bed and began to sort out his next plan, thinking about possible countermeasures in his mind.

Wu Yanshuang sat quietly in front of the window, looking at the night sky outside.

The stars twinkled, but they could not illuminate the confusion in her heart.
