With the help of the locust tree spirit, Jiang Wen easily walked out of the underworld. He stood in the courtyard, watching the huge tree in front of him gradually decay and wither.
"Does it affect you?" Jiang Wen asked Zi Yun beside him.
"No." Zi Yun shook her head, only looking at the giant tree. She didn't say anything more, and Jiang Wen knew there was no need to ask anything else.
"Actually, you don't have to listen to this person. Although you have her flesh and blood, you are not her after all. If you have a hometown to return to, you can leave now, and I will definitely not stop you." Jiang Wen pointed to Yan Gongli behind him and said to Zi Yun. Although it would be wonderful to have a stunning fairy by his side, he couldn't force others to do something they didn't want to.
"I have no home." Zi Yun looked at Jiang Wen and smiled. "You are truly a special person. Don't you want to obtain me?"
"Haha, I am quite tempted." Jiang Wen said with a smile. "But in my hometown, there is a saying: A gentleman does what he should do and does not do what he should not do. To know what can be done and do it, to know what cannot be done and not do it, this is the way of a gentleman's actions and inactions."
"If I take this opportunity to force you, wouldn't I be the same as those cultivators before? This does not conform to my Dao."
"You are indeed a very special person." Zi Yun looked at Jiang Wen earnestly. She reached out and touched her chest, taking out a section of purple branch from it. She made it into a wooden bracelet and then handed it to him.
"This is my Natal Breathwood. It might be beneficial for you to wear it."
Jiang Wen took the wooden bracelet and put it on his wrist. He had to admit, this thing was quite exquisite, and wearing it gave him a different kind of comfort. He felt much closer to heaven and earth, and he could even sense when it would rain and when it would be windy.
When Jiang Wen found Tie Zhu, he had already woken up. He was just sitting blankly in the house, staring foolishly at the red bed in the room.
With the locust tree matter resolved, the strange weather in the old house also changed. As the giant tree withered, many of the roots and branches entwining the courtyard slowly receded.
With a little magic, he uprooted the giant tree and put it into the Realm Pearl. Then, looking into the Realm Pearl, he placed the giant tree not far outside the Daoist temple. After that, he returned to the house and chopped up the red bed.
"Benefactor, I reside within this object to cultivate. If you encounter any difficult matters, you can knock on the wooden bracelet to summon me. But do not give this object to others or abandon me." After Zi Yun finished speaking, she fell silent. Jiang Wen looked at the wooden bracelet for a long time, and finally slowly hid it in his sleeve.
"You have indeed never harmed innocent people, so I will agree to what you ask. However, I need to make three rules with you. If you can abide by them, I will comply with your request," Jiang Wen said earnestly to the woman.
"Secondly, you must not speak carelessly."
"Immortal Master."
