Yang Junming nodded in agreement, "A hundred feet long, capable of swallowing a person whole. If Su Changfeng really encountered it, how could he leave Infinite Cave alive?"

"Unbelievable, in less than a month, you’ve achieved such accomplishments, becoming a Heavenly Level master; truly unprecedented and unmatched." Yang Junming said with emotion.

If he hadn’t witnessed it himself, he absolutely wouldn’t believe someone could be this powerful, but Su Changfeng genuinely achieved it, really making it unfathomable.

"I actually look forward to someone being stronger than me." Su Changfeng also felt a touch of emotion.

Yang Junming was dumbfounded for a moment, then quickly understood Su Changfeng’s meaning; he must have reached the Forbidden Land and naturally understood how bad the situation is with Tuo Shi.

Without enough strong warriors, how can the crisis from the Outer Domain be resisted?

"Has Elder Wu already planned to go to the Outer Domain?" Yang Junming asked.

"No." Su Changfeng shook his head.

Yang Junming couldn’t help but frown; he had known Wu’s plan for a long time, to train Su Changfeng to become the squad leader of Shangyun Pavilion, then personally go to the Outer Domain to check the situation.

Now that Su Changfeng is already a Heavenly Level master, theoretically Wu’s plan should be executed; has something happened to affect his plan?

Just as he was about to continue asking, Su Changfeng proactively said, "I plan to go personally."

Yang Junming’s mind went blank.

"Wha... what? You plan to go personally?" Yang Junming said in shock.

We know, the situation in the Outer Domain is still unknown; it’s a place of no return, a land of death. Elder Wu plans to go because he’s old, feels his time is short, and might as well take the risk—even if he dies, he won’t have regrets.

But Su Changfeng is different, he’s still so young, so Yang Junming is so surprised to hear Su Changfeng plans to go himself; if something happens to him, what will Shen Hanxue and Ye Nianhai do?

He knows clearly how important Su Changfeng is to them.

"You’re not joking, are you? Did Elder Wu send you?" Yang Junming asked.

Su Changfeng shook his head, "No, I volunteered."

"Su Changfeng, what are you thinking? Do you know what Outer Domain means? How many from Tuo Shi have died there? If something happens to you, what about your wife and child—you won’t care?" Yang Junming said.

Su Changfeng’s eyes were firm, "It’s precisely because I care about them that I must go see for myself; I don’t trust Elder Wu."

Yang Junming was silent, understanding Su Changfeng’s meaning. If the forces from the Outer Domain return, how can the mortal world remain unscathed? By then, not only Shen Hanxue, but probably no one will be spared, so he has to go to the Outer Domain to see what’s going on.

But comprehension is one thing; after all, it’s an unknown place full of peril, where a single mistake could lead to eternal doom; once gone, there’s a high chance of not returning.

"Are you sure? That’s a very bad place!" Yang Junming said gravely.

"As long as I can protect them, even death is nothing to fear," Su Changfeng said unwaveringly.

Yang Junming’s smile was somewhat bitter, "Indeed, I admire you; I have never thought that way or had that courage. After all, not everyone dares to face the fear of the unknown; in this regard, you seem particularly brave."

"I’m a person too, naturally I’m afraid; but I don’t have a better choice. This is where I’ve lived, where everything I can’t let go is; I don’t want them to face those dangers in the future," Su Changfeng said.

"Did Elder Wu agree?" Yang Junming was curious because whether Su Changfeng can go to the Outer Domain depends on Elder Wu’s decision; he can’t decide on this matter.

"Do you think he can stop me? Even if he’s unwilling, I will still go," Su Changfeng said with a smile.

"Ah." Yang Junming couldn’t help shaking his head, "It seems even the squad leader of Shangyun Pavilion can’t handle you! But this is indeed the attitude a master should have, Su Changfeng, I believe in you!"

Regarding the attitude of personally going to the Outer Domain, Su Changfeng displayed great firmness, leaving Elder Wu helpless; although he hadn’t verbally agreed yet, he had internally come to terms with it.

Actually, he had to recognize one fact: of those chosen to go to the Outer Domain, Su Changfeng was more suitable than him.

After exchanging a few more words with Yang Junming, Su Changfeng returned to the villa.

"Changfeng, is Hanxue fine? Can you really cure her?" Ji Hong asked worriedly; she hadn’t cared for this child for so many years and hoped to make up for it, not only to Su Changfeng but also to Shen Hanxue. So, she already considers Shen Hanxue her child.

Ji Hong also knows how important Shen Hanxue is to Su Changfeng, so Shen Hanxue must not have anything happen to her.

Su Changfeng can’t be certain what effect the pearl will have; therefore, right now he can’t give a definitive answer.

"Mom, rest assured, she will definitely get better; in the meantime, we better not disturb her. I brought some medicine, she’s taken it, but it needs time to absorb," Su Changfeng said.

Shen Hanxue has taken the pearl; what kind of changes will appear, he can’t guarantee, but during this process, she must not be disturbed.

Ji Hong, hearing this, quickly nodded, "I understand, rest assured, I certainly won’t let anyone disturb her."

Su Changfeng also smiled and nodded, now Ji Hong is indeed very good to them, he can clearly feel it. Actually, he understands Ji Hong’s compensatory psychology, but he really doesn’t plan to dwell on past matters.

After all, now Su Changfeng, having experienced so much, doesn’t have the mood to care about those things anymore. Moreover, with the looming danger from the Outer Domain, personal grievances are now petty in Su Changfeng’s eyes.

At this moment, a little girl rushed in from outside, young and lively, full of youthful energy.

"Brother, why did you come back? How long have you been back?" Gu Qing’er stormed in, poised to throw herself into Su Changfeng’s arms.

As for Gu Qing’er, this sister, Su Changfeng still likes her; he can always sense a youthful exuberance from this girl, making people feel several years younger.

"Just came back." Su Changfeng said.

"Where’s my sister? Have you seen her? Can you cure her?" Gu Qing’er asked nervously.

"Yes, I just fed her medicine, she’s resting now, can’t be disturbed casually," Su Changfeng said.

Gu Qing’er nodded repeatedly, "Don’t worry, brother, I’m very sensible already."

Su Changfeng smiled softly; the pure liveliness of Gu Qing’er indeed makes people forget their troubles. But he also knows, the Gu family children, purity is only one side of them.
